Remember the namo Doan's and HE SAVED HIS FACE By DOROTHY BURNS Whllo amusing myself over somo old letters from India, written by my grandfather nbout half a century ago, I camo across ono to his mother, In which ho announced his engagement and gavo an account of how ho camo to marry: "You know, my dear mother, that 1 havo always contended thnt neither clergymen nor soldiers should marry. Tho first should always bo ready to light tho devil under tho banner of tho cross In any land, however barbarous, nnd tho second to light tho enemies of his country under Its ling. And It seemed to mo that If a soldier should tako a wlfo alio should havo about her something of n soldier's nature. I do not mean that sho should bo expected to inarch to bnttlo like a man, but that In moments of great danger sho should retnln her self possession. "You remember thnt I camo out hero tho year before tho great mutiny nnd was assigned to tho th Bcngnl env nlry at Mcorut, where It broko out. I saw enough of tho terrors a soldier's wlfo is liable to among tho English women, who were obliged to fly for their lives, many of them being butch ered nnd somo burned in their houses whllo their husbands attended to their military duties, to confirm my opinion that a soldier should not bo encumber ed with a wife, or at least if ho has ono sho should bo a marvel of courage. "A few months ago, dear mother, I was Invited to tho qunrters of Colo nel Crocker of tho fusiliers. Tho colo nel hns beon In India twenty years and has a daughter, Cynthln, born just after his arrival heic, o that, novnr having loft India, sho has uover seen England. At my first meeting with this young lady 1 felt thnt sho wn ;o prove a strong temptation to mo to desert my principles. After being con stantly at her father's bungalow for three months tho first part of my reso lutionnever to marry so long as 1 was a soldier was completely broken down. I was passing an Intermediate stage between that resolution and my second if 1 did marry whllo a sol dier to mate only with n woman of such remarkable nervo under dnngcr as I had seen among tho otllcers' wives and daughters at tho breaking out of tho mutiny at Mcerut when an episode happened that broko down all iitr scruples against marriage. "I was dining ono evening with Colo- i-l Crocker and his family. The colo t i sat at ono end of tho table, Mrs. Crocker nt the other, while one of tho younger children and Cynthln snt on one side and the other child beside me. A servant was pulling on tho punkah; another, an Indlnn girl, was serving us nt dinner. In these days ono seldom talked about anything ex cept tho adventures of tho mutiny, nnd tho colonel, who was nt the tlmo it broko out nt a cantonment about two miles from Delhi, was telling how he tried to lnduco tho mutinous se poys of tho regiment to which ho was attached to remain faithful to their duty when ho was interrupted by Cyn thia quietly telling the waitress to place a bowl of milk on the door. The colonel gave over his narration and looked at his daughter nnxlously. her mother doing tho same. I saw at once that she was moved by somo powerful emotion. But sho neither moved nor spoke. We all sat waiting while the maid placed tho bowl of milk on tho Uoor not far from Cynthia's chair and In a position where I could see It. What was my surprise and horror to seo a cobra slowly creep from wnoro Cynthln sat to tho bowl. "Tho simko had been wound around hor leg and uncoiled to get the milk. "Suddenly Colonel Crocker seized a enrving knife from tho table and. dart ing to tho snake, with ono blow severed it In two parts. "And now, dear mother, I havo como to the other Important statement con tained In this letter. This bravo wom an has consented to bo my wife. 1 enn keep, at least, my resolution not to marry a woman who Is unfitted to be tho wlfo of a soldier. Colonel and Mrs. Crocker havo consented, and Cyn thia and I are very happy. To crown all. the colonel Is to bo retired In a few months and will tiso his Influence to hnve me ordered to England, so that wo shall doubtless all sail for homo to gether. Cynthia nnd I shall not be mnrrled till we reach England, and you, dear mother, will bo nt our wed ding." This Is tho end of tho story as given In my Krandfnther's letter to my great grandmother. All turned out satisfac torily. Colonel Crocker was retired as expected nnd had influence sufficient to secure an order for his intended son-in-law to report at the war ofllco in London about tho sapie tlmo as he himself expected to reach there. So they all wont homo together, nnd tho wedding wns celebrated nt Twicken ham, where the Crockers took up their residence after their return. There Is u sequol to this story which goes to show thnt my Krnndfather had saved his face by not telling the whole of It. Tho truth Is thnt in tho exuber- mice of youth ho had talked very loudly nbout rcninlulng n celibate so long ns he wns In the nriny. When ho gavo la he must need havo nn excuse. He had a very good one. but ho did not stnto tho case In full. In another let ter giving the samo story tho writer said that tho moment tho cobrn was killed Cynthia Crocker fell over in a faint. y 1 TiMBfliri I J mm)mW3lmB& Gifts Delivered for Christmas ANYTHING you select from our big and varied . stock of really appreciated Christmas gifts will be held for you and delivered for Christmas.
