Is this Leaven?” •' “Not yet,” she whispered softly. “But it’s earth, and the war is over! I’ve come to help you get weM and take you home! it’s really you and you're not ■‘Missing’ any more.” 'J'hen without any excuse at all she Li*d her lips on his forehead and kissed him. She had read her permit in his eyes. « His well arm stole out and pressed her to him hungrily: “It’s teal I v you and you don’t belong lo anybody else? ’ he asked, anxiously searching her face for his answer. “Oh, John! I never did be long to anybody else but you. All my life ever since 1 was a little girl I’ve thought you were won derful! Didn’t you know that? Didn’t you see down at camp? J’m sure it was written all over my face.” His hand crept up and pressed her face close against his. “Oh, my darling!” he breathed, “my darling! The most wonderful girl in the wnrlfi !” When the doctor and nurse pushed hack the screen and en tered the little alcove the new nurse sa! demurely at the foot,of the cot, hut. a little while later the voice of the patient rang out joyously: “Doctor, how soon can 1 get out of this. 1 think I’ve stayed here about long enough.” 'the wondering doctor touched Ids patient’s forehead, looked at him keenly, felt his pulse with practised linger, and replied: “I’ve been thinking you’d get to this spot pretty soon. Some beef tea, uurae, and make it good and strong. We’ve got to get this fellow on his feet pretty quick tor l eai®t.eo lie’s about done lying in bed.” Then the wounds came in for attention, and Ruth stood brave ly and watched, quivering in her heart over the sight, yet never flinching in her outward calm.

He looked at the doctor smiling, and then he looked at Ruth, and reached out his hand to get hers: “You see,” he said, “I—we— Miss Macdonald’s from my home town and-” “I see,” said the doctor look ing quizzically from one happy face to the other, “but hasn't she always been from your home town?” Cameron twinkled with his old Irish grin: “Always,” he said solemnly, “but, you see, she hasn’t always been here.” “I see,” said the doctor again looking quizzically into the sweet face of the girl, and doing rev erence to her pure beauty with his gaze. “I congratulate you, corporal,” he said, and then turning to Ruth lie said earn cstly: “And you, too, Madame.

In the quiet evening when the wards were put to sleep and Ruth sat beside his cot with her hand softly in his, Cameron op ened his eyes from the nap he was supposed to be taking and looked at her with his bright smile.

I The Princess Dehra * Copyright, 1008, by John Keed Scott CHAPTER r. The Recall. For the first time in a'genera tion the Castle of Lotzen was entertaining its lord. He had come suddenly, a month before, and presently there had followed rumors of strange happenings in Dornlitz, in which the duke had been too intimately concerned to please the king, and as punish ment had been banished to his mountain estates. But Lotzenia was far from the capital and iso | lated, and the people cared more for their crops and the amount of tax levy than for the doings of the court. And so it con cerned them very little why the red banner with the golden cross floated from the highest turret of the old pile of stone, on the spur of the mountain overhang ing the foaming Dreer. They knew it, meant the duke himself was in presence; but to them there was but one over-lord: the Dalberg, who reigned in Dorn litz; and in him they had all pride—for was not the Dalberg their hereditary chieftain cen turies before he was the king! ** True, the Duke ot Jjotzen nau lone been the heir presumptive, ami so, in thy prospective, en titled to their loyalty, but lately there had come from across the sea a new Dalberg, of the blood of the great Henry, who, it was said, bad displaced him in the lino of succession, and was to marry the Princess Debra. And at her name every woman of them curtsied and every man uncovered; blaming high Heav en the while, that she might not reign over them, when Frederick tli* king were gone; and well prepared to welcome the new heir if she were to be his queen. At first the duke had kept to tin* seclusion of his own domain, wide and wild enough to let him ride all day without crossing its boundary, but after a time he came at intervals, with a com panion or two, into the low lands, choosing the main high ways and dallying occasionally at some cross-road smithy for a word of gossip with those aro\mjl the forge. For Lotzen was not alone in his exile; he might be banished the capital, but that was no reason for denying himself all its pleas ures; and the lights burned late at the castle, and when the wind was from the north it strewed the valley with whisps of music and strands of laughter-. And the country-side shook its head, and marveled at the turning of night into day, and at people who seemed never to sleep ex cept when others worked; and not much even then, if the tales of such of the servants as be longed to the locality were to be believed. Auu the revelry waxed louder an dwilder as the days passed, and many times toward evening the whole company would come plunging down the mountain, and, with the great dogs baying before them, go racing through tlie valleys and back again to the castle, as though some fiend wore hot on their trail or they no his. And ever beside the duke, on a great, black horse, went the same woman, slender and sinuous, with raven hair and dead-white cheek; a feather touch on rein, a careless •grace in saddle, as they rode the duke watched her with glow ing eyes; and his cold face warmed with his thoughts, and he would speak to her earnestly and persuasively; and she, sway ing toward him, would answer softly and with a tantalizing smile. Then, one day, she had refused to ride. “ I am tired,” she said, when at the sounding of the horn he had sought her apartments; “let thO others go.” He went over and leaned on the hack of her chair. “Tired—of what” he asked. Of everything—of mvself most of all.” “And of everybody?” smiling It is reported on seemingly reliable authority that the real lowdown on the reasons for decision by Missouri democrats to discard the time honored donkey as a political em blem is to end the frequent com plaints of candidate? who believed, or professed to believe, that some political opponent or ticket mate was getting special favor by having his likeness appear at the head of the ticket. down at her. “-One usually tires of self last.” “And you want to leave me?” he asked. She shook her head. “No, not 1 you, Ferdinand—the others.”’ “Shall I send them away?” ha said eagerly. “And make this lonely place more lonely still?” “I despise the miserable place,” he exclaimed. “Then why not to Paris to night?” she asked. “Why not, indeed?” he ans wered, gavely, “for the other* and—you. ” “And you, too? glancing up at him and touching, for an instant, his hand. He shrugged his shoulders. “You forget, there is a king in Dorl<litz.” “You would go incog, and old Frederick never be the wiser, nor care even if he were.” He laughed shortly. “Think you so, ma belle,—well, believe me, I want not to be the one to try him.” The horn rang out again frora the court-yard; the duke crossed to a window. Go on, he called, “we will follow presently;” and with r. clatter and a shout, they spurred across the bridge and away. “Who leads?” she asked, go ing over and drawing herself up on the casement. He put his arm around her. “What matters,” he 'laughed, “since we are litre?” and bent his head to her cheek. “Let us go to Paris, dear,” she whispered, caressingly; “to the boulevards and the music, the life, and the color.” He shook his head. “You don’t know what you ask, little one— once I might have dared it, but not now—-no, not now.” She drew a bit nearer. “And would the penalty now be so very serious?” she asked. He looked at her a while un certainly- and she smiled back persuasively. She knew that he was in disfavor because of liis plots against the Archduke Armand’s honor and life; and that he had been sent hither in disgrace; but all along what had puzzled her was his calm acquiescence; his remaining in this desolation with never a word of anger and toward the king, nor disposition to slip away sur reptitiously to haunts beyond the border. Why should he be so careful not to transgress even the spirit of the royal order?—he who had not hesitated to play a false wife against the Archduke Armand, to try assassination, to arrange deliberately to kill him in a duel. She remembered well that evening in her reception room, at the Hotel Mctzen in Dornlitz, when Lotzen’s whole scheme had suddenly collapsed like a house of cards. She re called the king’s very words of sentence when, at last, he had deigned to notice the duke. “The court has no present need of plotters and will be the better for your absence,” he had said. “It has been ovpr long since you have visited your titular estates and they doubtless require your immediate attention. Yon are, therefore, permitted to depart to them forthwith—and to remain indefinitely.” Surely, it was very general and precluded only a return to Dornlitz. __ (To he Continued Next Week) Forestalled.
