“GIVING THANKS ALWAYS."

She was very old and very poor,
And the postman, whistling gaily,
But seldom stopped at her dingy

Though his route led by it dally.
And as | saw her face, one day
At this door, I could not choose
But pity her—till [ heard her say,
‘Thank God for no bad news!“
Life falls from us, as we pass along, |
By little and little, daily,
But the sigh need never o'ercome the |

The thermometer stood at 116 de-

in the desert. Along the dusty trall
that led into Hermosillo two young!
men rode astride a of slow
plodding, dejected looking burros.
“Whew, this is flerce,” remarked
she younger the two. “They told
me in Washington it was warm
enough comfort down but
I must confess it surpasses my fond-
est dreams.” He mopped his brow
again with a grimy handkerchief.
His companion made no reply: evi-

You never told me about it. Where

The man was silent. His
face had become suddenly sombre
and a sad, faraway look into
the gray eyes. Silently he rolled the
sleeve of his shirt up to the shoulder.
Harry Dexter uttered a gasp of as

“No, Harry,” was the
ment, “woe do not care for the ac’

another word could the younger man
elicit from him concerning the ad
venture. Together they entered the
quaint little Mexican town of Her
mositlo,
There Is nothing which appeals to
the heart of the Mexican as does
military display. Bolton and Dexter
were lounging on the veranda of the
Aztec Hotel esmokinz, when sounds
of martial music floated us the stroet,
The music zrew rapidly nearer, and a
oolumm of cavalry, mounted on tough
little Toxan horses, swept into view,
with @ band at its head. The com.
pany were out for their parade, be
fore taking to the barracks for the
night. The captain, a short, swarthy
individual, kept well to the front of
his company, and rode a snow white
horse. Doxter gazed in admiration |
as the column approached.
“Say. Billy, they're a pretty fine
lot, don't you think?” he asked. his

Bolton's cigar had fallen unheeded
to the floor, and his face was ghast
ly. Then it flamed scarlet, and with
an Impulse born of living amongst
many dangers, his hand sought his
holster, but he recovered himself
with a start, and answered with his
uenal, composed smile:
“Nothing, Harry, old chap—nothing |
at all. I guess the music must have |
stirred my blood a little. I used to
serve under the general once, you |
know.” He lighted another cigar and |
smoked in silence. Dexter, watching
furtively, saw again the sad, faraway
look creep into the eyes of his com

“It's strange,” he muttered to him-
self, as he strolled thoughtfully out
Into the cooler alr upon the verands,
“I haven't heard of their marriage,
and yet neither of them seem to be
here. He had just finished the sen-
tence when a low ripple of laughter
made him draw back into the shadow.
Captain Varez of the cavalry had
entered with a lady clinging to his
arm. As they passed the place where
he was standing, Bolton's heart be-
gan pounding violently. His waiting
had been rewarded.
