It seems to me a particularly nice match, and I wlHh them all tho Joy in the world. Hamilton is up at Fort Niagara, where he has been nindo a lieutenant In the artillery. I henr he has nindo a splendid record, and that ho was given the cluMconf a Job in the ordnance department or in tlio- artillery, nml ho choso tho latter. At present they havo no plans for tho wed ding, ns both art, young, and tho rushing Into matHmnny which has been going on around us seems a bit hysterical un less tho men aro nrtunlly going to Fiance. Cornelia very mnslbly has de cided not to many In hanto, unless Ham ilton Is sent to France. In that caso they will be quietly married, nnd sho will probably Join him over thero later, for she has lived thero no many years she lias n splendid command of the lan guage and would bo ot real assistance in that wnr-htrlcken country.

Shirley did not know sho could not tell. Rut It wns not given to Murgatroyd tn know that ho was tho rubjrrt nf her perplexities; nor could he read, ns he should have, nny hope In the words which she now spoke: "And if I ntn out of your reach It's vnur own fault.

And Murgatroyd bowed low over the hand she offered him, pressed tt and, without a word of protest, wrnt nut nf the room.
