With the drat whtff at salt sir
Tommy was revived. Hera owd there,
wrapped t« steamer robes, propped up
with pUtowa and cUogtag lovingly to
tbalr smelling salts, sot members of
the Campania’s family, looking ta If
they cored little what happunad to
them or to those about them.
Leaning over the ntllnff In tha
•tern stood a woman. The ocean
breesss freed her curls from Impris
onment and Tommy watched them ex
plore the reglone of the red tam
o'shanter from under which they had
escaped. He studied the symmetrical
lines of her figure and wondered if her
face was as perfect.
With every breath of the invigorat
ing air he felt more himself. He even
thought he could oat if—well. If that
person with the red cap should sit
on his left. Perhaps she did.
Each time he paced the deck he
drew nearer the stern railing. Each
time he formed an Introductory
speech, and each time took one more
round of the deck.
Shipboard Introduction did not need
a third party, but ho did wish she
would turn her head. If ever so slight
ly. It would help so much.
Finally, as If drawn by a hypnotic
power, she moved. Tommy stopped
short as suddenly as a small boy who
finds a nail In the cellar door.
The wpman turned to him, her hsntl
on the railing. "Helen," he gasped,
without removing his glue! “I—" he
filtered and passed his hind across
hie eyes. Surely there were cobwebs
In the eea sir.
Tommy grasped the railing. “May
If—n minute?" he asked. She did not
reply, eo he continued to attend by
her side.
A long silence ensued, during which
the women turned again to the set.
Woe she afraid her eyse might betray
the emotion that stirred her?
“Helen,” Tommy ventured finally,
“I did not know It; this was not In
tentional, believe me."
Slowly the eun was sinking Into
the spec* between tha sky and sea.
Tbe woman's eyes fallowed It. and her
thoughts? Where were they? Tha
two stood aids by aids silent, thought
ful.
A large, whits sea gull fluttered peat
them la Its Irregular flight “The
wings of tha past" she sold at lost,
watching the bird disappear.
“They era white." ha sold, “hat they
bear much that Is dark—muck that
Is dreary—ta reflect upon. “
Hsr face changed, softened, yet ha
could not Interpret her expression;
tha play of her emotion hod always
been a mystery to him.
“Helen," be said, stepping closer to
her, “can we not dip five yean—tho
tut five—from those wings?"
“Call me back again, call ms back
again." coma from the cabin below la
a resonant soprano voice. It woe tha
old song with which she used to ring
away hi* frowns when she had teased
him.
“Ah, when your love has conquered
pride aud anger, I know that you will
coll me back 'again," came the voice.
"Yes, It had been both pride and
anger—pride on her part, anger os
his. But that was five years ago whoa
they ware—Oh. ao young!
"‘Pride and anger,'" ha repeated
softly. "Wasn't It both. Helen!
Weren't you too proud to admit you
wan wrong and I too angry to make
yon? It I war* to talk toravsr I coaid

She laid her hand oa his arm, sod
together they looked down Into tha

"Cell me back again: call ma back

"Will you?" he asked softly.

“It 1*.“ replied Weston.
"Well," arid the general, “there ara

other things belonging to the soldiers,
sad- I wish you would unload them
right away."
"Well, general," replied the Jovial
Weston, "there to no man In tha world
that likes to accommodate another
any better than L but what you
require la utterly Impossible. I am
here getting off coflimlssary stores,
and I can’t attend to those matters

"But I order you to." said the brig

“Oh, well," said Col. Weston, “when
tt comes down to that, I might as well
say ‘fudge, 1 and let It go, for that Is
all your orders amount to." And the
colonel turned and gave further di

he knew he was slapped on the back
