"He always had a good way with

II had a "way" with one woman I
knew.
"A Jolly good fellow," declined tho
stranger, cmphallcullv. "I can under

"Thcy'io a nice family," the colonel
agreed. "Hulloa! They've finished
the set. Now let me Intioducc you.
You must try a game. Not play?
Nonsense! You used to hold your own,
I remember."

made another resolution. lie should
not have the satisfaction of thinking

'Why!" he cried, with his meiry
laugh, "theie Isn't anything wrong

"The weak spot of mini," I pro
nounced, "Is his vanity. He considers
all his doings of Interest pleasing or

"To his particular friends," 'he cor

It seemed absurd.

He paused and glanced
swiftly at mo. "Possibly you would

I Unbilled the sentence?"
I studied the tennis carefully.
"Do you wish mc to llnteli It?" he
usked. He had the gift of throwing
n great le il of suggestion Into a few
colorless words.
"It Is Inn illy worth while. A compli

You never fall In your duty on such
occasions.
"Ijo I i-ecni so hopelessly Inslnceie?"
"On the contrary. You seem so 'in

I consider you ho splendid!" 1 lnugli-d
quite it nieriy-Moundlng laugh this

"I'pon my word," he said, with some

"I'm rather good at 'pretend' myself,
I think. Of course, 1 can't xlo It so

He rose hastily to find a wandeiino;
ball. I was glad to see him tlnow It
so savagely. It was a little consola

lie contradicted.

scornfully.
"I didn't mean that, of course," he
said, slowly. "No doubt there nio

"I concede the 'pleasant,'" I said,
with a smile Ujat was not Intended to
look genuine.
"Do you mean that we haven't
shown most of our icul selves? That
we have Just played a play?"
"You know we have," I said with an
air of frankness. "U has been Kte.it
fun. I H'nlly have enjoyed It lin-

ticeil actor as you, and I am getting
a little tired of pretending." lie diew
his breath sharply. It had occtirtad
to me that peihaps he really had cared

"I do not understand." he said.
"Suiely you don't mean you can't

"Of course not," I said lightly.
"We'iti excellent friends, I hope, r.ut

so tightly In the dusk, and when we
parted ho tiled to he almost Oh,
well, I'll tell the truth. He kissed me.
"Is It absolutely Impossible for
friendship to grow" Ho touched my
hand, and I drew It sharply away.
"It depends upon pers'ons and cir
cumstances, of course," T replied cold
ly. "In out case anil cln unistances'.'"
My heart beat fuilously that he should
dale to go so far. 1 would draw him
a little further, I decided. So I looked
at my shoes and said nothing. "I've?
Pretty little live?" I turned and
laughed up at him.
"It Is so silly when neither of us

at mo In appai'Uit bewilderment.

SPECTACLES FOR, SOLDIERS.
England Forbids Them, Though
Scouts Mistake Cattle for Cavalry.
I'rnin flip .nnilon Irul'i
The following Intel estliig anecdote Is
sent by one of my leaders, apropos of
the lemaiks In last week's Truth on
spectacles in the army:
A few yeais ago, at some foielgn
maneuvers. I spent an afternoon on
the outpost line with an ollleer of i
crack Miltlsh cavaliy leglnieni. Point
ing to some llelds about l.Ouft uwny, he
sil 1- -There are some cavalry among
the tries. 1 wonder whetln.r they aio
-couts fiom the other side." I pointed
out that tho supposed cavalry were
ically cattle. Although short-sighted,
I have good sight own for long dli
tnnces, thanks to a pioperly selcetn
pair of pince-nez spectacles. Mv otn
cur filend used his Held glnss and ad
mitted his mistake, adding: "I am
short-sighted. It Is a great nuisance.
One cannot always be using iWld
glasses." I suggested that he nilgut
mo spectacle, as I illci. "I would,
gladly, ' he replied, "but there Is such
a prejudice against them In the .L-.--vlce."
.lust Imagine this cavalry otll-cf-r
sent out scouting and going about
his work half blind because of the pre
Jildlce against speetneltd otllceis! I
could name men on active service In
Africa nt tho present moment who aio
very short-sighted, but date not wear
glasses. Moniu of them wear single
i yeglasses, to the great damage of
what sight they still have. Yet last
yar In tieimaiiy at the Impel lal in m
euvers I saw plenty of t.llcei-n In spe.
tarles, and n good tnuny prlvatca as
well.
I reguid this as ono of the most con
spicuous Instances of wooden-headed
stupidity with which our army Is Kov
oi tied. Another which deserves to bo
bracketed with It Is the exclusion of
men from the army because they hap
pen to havo false teeth, K thoro is to
bo ti now reglmu woith anything In
Pall Mall theso nio among the many
absurdities which will at ouco he got
lid of.
The correspondent I have Just quoted
states, on tho authority of Mr. Conan
Doylc'u book, that the ledoubtublo De
Wet actually goes nbout In bluo spec
tacles, owing to poino eye trouble. If
this Is true It Is Indeed one of the ob
ject lessons of tho war. How ninny of
the Urltlsh officers whosu fight was
sclenllllciilly tested before they re
ceived their commissions can see us fur
as the bliio-spectiiclcd De Wet?
My last week's icmarks about spec
tacles In tho army werp delivered upro
lsifl of tho grant of a commission to a
City Imperial volunteer, who wns said
to be shortsighted. It was suggested
at the same time that the volunteer In
question had been orlglnnlly rejected
on medical gtntinds, but subsequently
passed, thtnugli the exertions of Influ
ential relatives. This suggestion, how
ever, apiH'ars to have been unfounded.
I inn told that no ('. I. V. who has
gained a commission wns ever objected
to by the medical examiners.
SURFACE CIVILIZATION.
A Young Zulu Girl Who Couldn't Re
sist Her Natural Tendencies.
I.(1y Hi wiiii" in tlie ( urnlilll MirjIik".
I think quite the most cutlous In
stance of the thinness of surface civil
isation among these Zulu people came
to meet In the case of a young Zulu
girl who had been early left an orphan
and had been carefully trained In a
clergyman's family. She was about 16
years old when she came as my nurse
maid, and was very plump and comely,
with a beaming countenance, and the
sweetest voice and the prettiest man
ners possible. She had a great love for
music, and performed harmoniously
enough on an accordeon, as well as on
seveial queer little pipes and reeds.
She could speak, read and write Dutch
perfectly, as well as Zulu, and was
nearly as proficient In HugUsh. She
carried a little Bible always In her
pocket, and often tried my gravity by
diopplng on on kueo by my side when
ever she caught me sitting down aud
alone, and beginning to read aloud
from it. It was quite a new possession,
and she had not gotten beyond the
opening chapters of Genesis, and de
lighted In the story of "Dam and Eva,"
us she called our first parents.
She pioved an excellent nurse and
thoroughly tiustwoithy; the children
weie devoted to her, especially the
baby, who learned to speak Zulu be
fore English, and to throw a reed ns-
seqal as soon as ho could stand firmly
on his little fat legs. I brought her
to England with jne, and she adapted
herself marvelously and unhesitatingly
to the conditions of a civilization far
beyond what she had over drcamerl of.
A filend of mine chanced to
be returning to Natal and proposed
that I should spare my Zulu nurse to
her. Her husband'a magistracy being
close to wheie Maria's tribe dwelt, It
seemed a good opportunity for Maria
to leturn to her cwn country; so of
emu so f let her go, begging my friend
to tell mo how the girl got on. The
paitlug from the little boys was a
lieait-breaking scene, nor was Mapia
at ull comforted by the lino clothes all
my ft lends Insisted on giving her. Not
even a huge Oulnsborough hat, gar
nished with giant popples could con
solo iwr for leaving her "little chlf
t -ilti;" but It was, at all events) some
thing to fend her off so comfortably
provided tot, and with two large
boves of good clothes.
In the couise of a few months 1 io
celved a letter from my friend, who
was then settled In her up-country
homo, but her story of Maria's doing
seemed well-nigh Incredible, though
perfectly true. All had gone well on
the voyage, and ho long as they re
mained at Dm ban and Mnrltzhurg; but
as soon ns the distant settlement was
i cached, Maria's kinsmen came around
her and began to claim some share In
her piospeilty. Fne lights were of
constunt occurrence, and in one of
them Mai la, using the skull of an ox
as a we.tpun, broke her lister's leg.
Soon after that she returned to the
savuire life she had not known since
her Infancy, and took to It with de
light. 1 don't know what became of
her clothes, but she had presented her
self before my friend clad In an old
sack and with necklaces of wild unl
muls' teeth, and proudly announced she
had Just been married "with cows"
thus showing Imw completely her
Chilstlanlty had fallen away from her,
and she had practically returned, on
the lift opportunity, to the depth of
that savagery fiom which she had
been taken before she could even re
member It. I soon lost all trace of her,
but Maria's story has always remained
In my mind as an amazing Instance of
the strength of race Instinct.
