HEART OF EILEEN
By LOUISE OLIVER.
The grenl stone house back from
tho bench hnd long been known us n
select Lakeside boarding place. Its
mistress, daughter of the man who
bad In fortunate circumstances built
the imposing residence for his summer
home, was to be rolled upon as bring
ing together only congenial people.
Many fashionable as well as staidly
respectable city folk felt free to send
tnelr daughters unattended to Mrs. 1
Van Rensnler's for the summer.
Very exacting were Mrs. Van Itensn
ler's summer people In their unspoken
rules of social convention; and one.
evening when the women In their ex
quisite organdies, and tho men In the
proper attire of tho hour, were gath
ered upon the veranda, tho stranger
who scorned both rule and convention
arrived.
In tho full light of the setting sun,
his coarseness of face and fenturo
wero plainly visible. "Repulsive crcn
ture," was whnt Dolly Flanders called
him, and she was not far from right.
Without waiting to chnngo his
stained tweed suit, the stranger seated
himself in apparent brazen confidence
opposite Dolly Flanders and her moth
er. Thnt acknowledged social lender
observing in disgusted silence tho
man's detarhed absorption to his meal,
arose and went forth presently to Inter
view Mrs. Van Ronsnler at the olllco.
With her usual dignity and with
more than her usual reserve, tho mis
tress of Stono House, refused to dis
cuss her now guest. Moreover, indig
nant protest hnd no effect.
"Mr. Carson would be there for the
rest of the season," she announced,
"he had come with her full permis
sion." When Inter, the stranger settled
himself In an isolated corner of tho
veranda to smoke his pipe, general In
dignation grew.
Tt hnd to he admitted thnt the man
knew his place. Though he continued
to pnss coolly among them clad in
stained loose-collared woolens, nei
ther by word or look did lie seek com
panionship or favor.
Once when Dolly Flanders' saddle
horse reared and became unmanage
able at the mount, tho senrred stran
ger went quietly to her assistance, but
at her grudging "Thank you," he failed
to raise liis hat.
"Might l)e a burglar, judging by ap
pearances," she said to her escort.
Each morning the stranger left the
hotel to go to work; returning at noon
from the direction of the factories
across the bridge, dirtier, more stained
tlinn ever.
Mrs. Flanders was disgusted anew
at tho condition of the mnn's hands
Mrs. Van Ronsnler hnd boon unacconv
modatlng In not placing n separate
table. Then one evening when the
favored few were indulging in a corn
ronst on the bench, Mrs. Van Ronsnler
added to tho chagrin by n new an
nouncement.
"Mrs. Carson is coming to Join her
busbnnd tomorrow," she said, rind smll
lng serenely pnssed out from tho pros
ence of her guests before they could
voice their outraged feelings.
"Wns not the man impossible
enough," they complnined, "without
forcing among them tho sort of cren
turo his wife was sure to be? Whnt
had hnppened to Mrs. Van Itensaler?"
And in tho sunshine of the morn
lng enmo the beautiful young womnn
of charming personality.
"Who is she?" the women whispered
wondorlngly.
Again Mrs. Van llensnler smiled
"That," she replied, "is Mr. Carson's
wife."
"It could not be possible," the guests
said among themselves, but down tho
path nt noon the beautiful one wont
to meet the rod faced man, coming
back with him, smiling happily Into his
lined fnce. At tnble she sat, dressed
Irreproachably nnd in most becoming
fashion; before the meal was cniicu
Mrs. Flnnders found herself convert
lng not only with tho newcomer, but
with her heretofore silent husband as
well.
"The womnn Is charming," she con
fided later.
And It was only when she had won
her vny Into all hearts, that tho ol
jectlonnblo stranger's wlfo snt ono
ovenincr nmomr n bevy of girls. Her
lovely eyes gnzed tenderly down tho
wny her busbnnd wns wont to come.
They hnd been sponklng Jestingly nnd
seriously of lovo nnd its wnys.
T.utio Mrs. Cnrson smiled. "Lovo la
'-strange," she said. "When I first
saw my husband, ho lay 111 in n hos
pital bed, his face hideously burned
by somo chemical. I had left my own
homo with an exalted purposo to bo
a nurse and thus aid suffering human
ity. Flensing suitors hnd como nnd
gone In my father's home; there in
the hospital looking down Into a pa
tient's scarred nnd swollen fnce, I lost
my henrt completely ; and I have never
regretted tho losing. His own henrt Is
ns fine ns his fnce is rough, his mind,
n continunl unfolding Joy. My hus
Imnd's nccldent wns the result of hero
Ism, tho testing of n dangerous chemi
cal which others feared to try.
nnvlng given years of study to tho
subject, ho offered his own services
for tho test. Thnt same knowledge Is
now nt the disposal of ids government.
This commission Is one of Mr. Car
son's greatest. It absorbs him to tho
exclusion of his own stained clothing.
Tho chcmlcnls Just ruin his clothes!
Hut.M tho experimenter's wife laughed
os Bhe started down tho path to meet
l!im oh, my diamond Is In the

PRINCE CHARMING
By MILDRED WHITE.
(Copyright, 1018, Western Kcwtpapcr Union.)
Eileen Wainwright, leaning back
wearily ngalnst tho cretonne-covered
back of tlie piazza rocker, could not
help overhenrlng tho conversation go
ing on Just inside the club window.
At first the words had no menning,
for her own thoughts were busy with
other things. Then she renlized thnt
some one, an often referred to "she,"
was most unpopular with the convers
es, and suddenly hearing her own
name mentioned she realized that she
herself was the subject of this un
pleasant discourse.
It was Mrs. Langdon Merrill talking
to her sister, Mrs. Enoch Cuthbert,
nbout her son, Lionel Merrill and Eil
een herself.
"Don't you seo It all, Jennie?" snld
Mrs. Merrill's voice. She's come back
because she's tired of nursing. You
now that's what both tho Wainwright
girls did after their father lost his
money trained for nurses. And as
she nnd Lionel had a sort of boy and
girl affair, she thinks she'll take it up
now where they left off. I shouldn't
worry nbout it, nly the girl's n rav
ing, tearing beauty. Site's got that
sort of ethereal look about her thnt
ppenls to n mnn. And she knows
It, you enn gnmble, and she's going to
play for big game. Hut she's not
going to mnrry Lionel Merrill If I
know anything, Just when ho was be
ginning to take an interest in Mary
3vnns the very thing I've set my
heart on nil my life. I don't know
tvhnt tho Aberdeens meant by nsklng
her here 1 Why didn't she go to Franco,
where she's, needed? I'vo no patience
with nurses who don't go to France."
There wns more, but Eileen, decid
ing she had heard enough, got up and
left.
ITer Indignation had cooled to a
pilot amusement.
She joined tho Aberdeens at tho end
of the terrace, watching a sot of ten-
its.
"Thirty love," explnlned Joan Aber
deen ns Eileen enme up. "Lion Merrill
ind Mary Evans are winning."
Tr wns tho first time Eileen had seen
hln) for seven years, and she approved
Df what she saw.
"Why didn't Lionel Join the army?"
me asked Jean.
"Whvl" Jean's eyes were Indignant.
"Because his mother, wouldn't let him.
It's a shame, when he wanted to go so.
The set over, Lionel came up to tho
group on the terrace. "It's little Eileen
bnck ngnln," he said, taking her hand
mil looking scarchlngly down Into ner
ayes. "And she's come bnck a very
beautiful lady but It strikes me, a sad
lady. We'll have to have a few par
ties to brighten her up. I see time."
Eileen laughed nnd shook her hend.
It's not a time for parties, Lionel. One
can't feel festive these days."
Mrs. Merrill arrived in time to hear
.ttio remark.
"You're very patriotic, Miss Wain
wright. Ono would think your patriot
ism would carry you across sens."
Eileen's fnce clouded. "I wanted to
co." she snld simply. "My sister and
I drew lots nnd she won."
Several days passed in which Lionel
Merrill managed to see Eileen very ot
ten.
Then, one soft evening in June, when
the stnrs were struggling through n
long pnle twilight, he told her he loved
her.
"Eileen, denr, I love you," ho said
suddenly. "I can't, let you go bnck to
New York. I can't let. you go away
again, my- white angel."
She drew away gently. "Lionel, we
must not tnlk of love. It can't be. You
t-oe, I know your mother doesn't ap
prove of me. And I'll never marry a
man against his mother's wishes. Good
by, dear boy. I must go In. And pleaso
don't try to see me again."
Two davs later Doctor TTarblson
came downstairs nt the Merrills',
where Mrs. Merrill wns anxiously
waiting for him In the hall.
"It's pneumonia, Mrs. Merrill. Lionel
must hnvo u nurse rlEht nwny. But
there Isn't nn extra nurse In the stato,
"But what shall wo do?"
"I'm suro I don't know, Mrs. Mer
rill."
"I hnvo it," sho cxclnlmed. "There
a girl a nurse visiting near here. Per
haps she'll como." But her volco waB
unwilling.
Mrs. Merrill herself called on the
telephone nnd stated her case.
"I'm sorry." snld Eileen. "My rest
is over, Mrs. Merrill. I must return to
New York today. The babies and
mothers need me. I'm pledged to them
nnd to tho soldiers, If they need rao
on this side. I can't take any one else."
"But Lionel needs you, my dear Miss
Wainwright. If he were a soldier
would you nurso him?"
"Yes."
"Then, my dear, he'll bo a soldier,
lie has always wnnrld to be ono. It Is
my fault ho wasn't. If I consent when
ho gets well will you como?"
"Yes, I c:.n do that without breaking
my pledge."
"And Miss Wainwright I There 1b
nnother thing. I've been fearfully un
kind. I I think Lionel cares for you
a great deal. If you can forglvo me, I
am going to nsk you to be kind to him."
"It seems," mused Eileen thoughtful
ly, ns sho hung up the receiver, "that
It takes tho fear of death to move
somo people's hearts. I often wonder
If this war Isn't Just for that very
thing I Of course, I'd have gone, boy,
denr, but It didn't hurt your mother
to coax me nnd it didn't hurt her to
promise you to your country cither, my
soldier."
Ilhodn sat on the lowest step of tho
tiny porch, and shed bitter tears. To
grieve deeply over the loss of n horso
was, her neighbors told her, a wicked
thing. But ltlioda continued to bo very
wicked Indeed.
Prince Charming wns such a wonder
fully human horse, a courtly compan
ion too, suggesting the name bestowed
upon him when 'Hlioda's father brought
him home to her a slender young ani
mal, white nnd proudly stepping;
Tho great house on the hill whero
ltlioda spent her sheltered girlhood,
had passed Into other hands nt tho
time of her father's death. The estate
was heavily entailed, the lawyers told
her If she wished temporarily to
make use of n small cottage fur up
tho road, she could consider herself
free to do so; and because she was
utterly perplexed by her changed plan
of life, the girl accepted tho offer.
And near by In the rickety stnblo
waited Prince Charming eager to
carry the glyl "over the hills and far
away."
Rhodn enjoyed the drives Into the
adjacent town; she enjoyed her brisk
canter down the long road at evening.
And Prince Charming, gentleman that
lie wns, responded Instinctively to her
every mood. Now, he too was gone.
Uhodn could no longer afford to keep
lilm. She wondered wistfully how her
pnsy-golng luxury-loving father had
allowed his affairs to drift so hope
lessly. Sho thought too of the new
nmato and purchaser of her former
home, ns a sort of grasping ogre. For
tho inmate had bought Prince Charming.
Ilhodn sat on tho porch of her tiny
home and wept.
Then with a little cry she sprang
lo her feet. Down the path lend
lng to the rickety bnrn came a
clatter of hoofs. No other horse ran
tvlth just that rhythmic swing. Why
was tho ogro bringing him bnck? But
It wns no ogre who snt Prlnco Charm-
Ing's saddle, but a straight figure of
a man with broad well set shoulders.
Across the lawn rushed tho horso,
pausing only nt the low step where
Uhodn stood; with a loving whine he
bent his white head to the girl's shoul
der. Swiftly her arms went nbout the
lorso's head.
"Oh! Trlnce," rho murmured, "you
ulsscd mo too I" Then defiantly brush
ing aside her tears, sho looked into
the wldo and puzzled brown eyes of
Prince Chnrming's driver.
"So Hint's the solution," tho young
mnrt exclaimed. "Ever since wo left
the stables the horse hns Insisted up'
on his own course. Coaxing, punish'
lng, were of no avail. I wanted to go
to town, ho brought me here. You must
be his former mistress."
ltlioda smiled now, as sho continued
to caress the horse, and the man
dropped lightly to the ground. "Prince
Charming and I," ltlioda told him,
"have been friends, chums, compan
ions. Tell me," she turned on him
nulcklv. "does his owner treat him
kindly?"
The mnn laughed. "That responsi
bility will rest with me," ho said. "Tho
gentleman who bought your horso did
so through a passing whim. Ho hns
by tills time forgotten Its existence.
If it will relieve your mind, I will as
sure gootl care for the anlmnl.
"Thank you," snld the girl, her eyes
expressed gratitude. "Prlnco Charm
ing Is back in his old homo," she add
ed, "I we wero very happy there. Is
the garden blooming well I wonder,
and does tho rich old man who owns
It, care?" "
"The garden nnd tho, house wero
Just another satisfied whim," tho young
man replied, "but the flowers nro com
ing beautifully; I look after them."
"I seo," said Ilhoda. "Mr. Cnmeron
Is fortunate In having so Interested a
caretaker."
The caretaker sprang up to the sad
dle. "Mr. Cameron leaves for n south
ern trip tomorrow," ho said. "I hopo
that you will feel wclcomo to visit
your old gardens ns often ns you
wish." IIo looked down into the girl's
wistful fnce. "Tell you whnt!" ho
ndded Impulsively. "I will send tho
horse down for you."
So followed days too Joyous, Ilhodn
feared, to last. Prlnco Chnrmlng re
leased from his stable and saddled for
her use, would speedily find his wny
to stamp before fhe cottngo door.
The young enretnker, pruning or
trimming tho hedges nenr by, would
pause often In his work, to rest nt her
side. Rhodn at first distantly courte
ous, forgot her scruples In tho delight
of his conversation. IIo wns a won
derfully superior person this man
she confided to Prlnco Charm ner,
And while sho tint In tho little moon
lit porch, silent with her strange (lis
covery, quietly, and ns though ho had
answered tho call of her thought, tho
young man came.
"I love you Ilhoda," ho said simply.
"I knew It that first evening when you
looked up at mo over Prlnco Chnrm
ing's whlto head. I hnvo been watch
lng for tho answer of your henrt. To
night, something gavo mo courago to
ask you to bo my wife."
And though sho did not nnswer,
trustfully tho girl's hand crept Into
tho mnn's, whllo his own closed over
It. "And obi I'm glnd," ho went on,
"that I can tako you back Into your
own home. Don Cnmeron is my fnthcr
Ilhoda, so when this big place proved
more of a change thnn ho had sup
posed, bo passed It over to mo. So I
liavo not been caretaker in Just tho
way you believed."

Amiens, since It was less cleverly nat
