It was that wonderful half ,hour at tlio close of a tropical day when the hush of twilight rests upon the moimtains.and tho dark is' climbing silently, steadily up from the valleys and gorges. The troop horses were buried in their nose bags. Darby sat upon a bale of hay, with his car­ bine lying across his % , He was at peace with himself chiefly because .five weeks had passed since a pay Say. A l.ittle native girl was ventur­ ing shyly toward him.- He said “ Good evening^ in Spanish,, and a queer tingle crept up frdm his bools when he heard how sweet and low her voice was. She reclined daintily upon a bale of ,hay and rolled ciga­ rettes for the big fellow to smoko. Never in the history /o f military men did a trick at guard- duty pass .so quickly, . . . “ ■ . The days whi61i followed were strange ones for Trooper Darby- Often the* aenorita watched him from a balcony or walked past ,his quarters in the evening.. She was always in the plaza when he was. It was in Darby to treat her as. lie would a Jittle girl, and ye.t an in­ stinct .hidden somewhere forbade. - Since' Darby's first enlistment long ago he had shunned women. Ho was a quiet feltow usually and had- more manner and far more mind than were needed for a soldier. He had killed a grown man's'ambi­ tion with the feeble satisfaction ox being a clean, obedient., soldier, but he had so much time and energy left over that despair sometimes crept into tho vacuum.. Then it was that Trooper Darby went to the canteen, in which case he fell short of his fiinfrle" nmbif.inYv ' Tho st-rmiva «? romance. ■Ope night whih* th'cf soldier and Marie' were talking softly together poor Juan forgot the outer world, forgot everything but the pain .in one from tho leanf , anting} worried fellows who arc forever Oji the skir­ mish line,whore foe? are t'-.r-m Mvos.

Queer indeed are the little Porto Rican maidens. They know nothing of'tlie world except their own-fruit laden, rain shower­ ed lulls, but they are, moved by,the hearts of women. They are without education, yet possessed of woman's art. They drink wine in their joy and rum in their despair. They light a cigarette in their babyhood. It is still lighted in their dying. For breakfast they have coffee and cigar jjettes; for dinner a fried plantain, With cigarettes before and after; for supper they drink.tho juice of an orange, followed by an evening of cigarettes and native wines; lienee they are ready to die at the age when a northern woman is looking for a husband. They adore music. They are fairies in the dnneo, grand­ mothers at 30. The genius of ro­ mance lives in their land. Marie, who ventured shyly down to the picket line that night, was one of these, A little above the town, in the very heights, was a little bamhoO shack, where Marie .and her old mother lived and wove white straw into hats and delicate bamboo strips into matting, After retreat in the evening big Darby would be seen striding up .this steep traiL It was very beautiful to sit up there beside the little hill maiden. Far below the lights of the town twinkled, and sometimes when the breeze was right the voices of the soldiers could be heard singing dreamily of their native" Tandr ^Ai!~ about rose the cliff shadows, and on their tops the moon flung a veil of misty gray, and Marie would turn her great dark eyes upon big Darby, Those eyes of bers shone through the dark, for the moonlight was in them', and be­ hind, in the doorway o f the shack, sat the old mother, humming like one who had lived her life and now only bides. - Darby would Juive liked to take the little girl Upon his knees and talk to her as he might have done to a child of her age and size back in the States, but every time, this thought came the heart within him throbbed a warning. Marie •Wasnot a child, She was- a woman who would have been made happy indeed had tho big soldier followed the sug­ gestion of his mind.

This was Juan, who drove ox­ en. all day from tho coffee planta­ tions to the town. Juan was not a brother. In the natural course of events he would have married Ma­ rie and become master of the little tshack ift the heights, Juan, always smiled when tho soldier canio. It is the way the poor Porto Rieah peon had been taught to smile in the presence of - a white man, even though one’s heart lie breaking.

His face bo- came the mirror of his heart, Ago­ ny, not rebellion, uvas reflected there, . ' . It, was a strange moment for big Darby. The perfume, tho staxHght, the sweet torrid air, had put a spell of rorhaneo in his brain. Hi3 years had long Been bitter and lonely. He saw nothing ahead exccpt’moro such years and then a soldiers’ home in which to brood and wither and die— .unless— ' Here was a ’young girl who' had made him her hero, her king. There was’ no One yearning for him back in the northland—no one who cared for him, not’even an old mother to bless him. Long ago he had killed all ambition. He need never, again go north. His enlist­ ment would bo finished in a month, and then he would blive money. He might- live jn these beautiful hills until tlm sun had burned him black, like tb4 others, and his faroff dream ’ of a home and a woman would be a dream no longer, and the.' wander spirit within him would give way tp perfect rest and. his brooding heart to peace; . . : / Big Darby was breathing hard, The eyes of the hill maiden, Marie, were strained toward his. Now ho knew that she was a woman, not a- little girl. His thought had laid this fact bare- He need only to lean over aiuTtoyich his-lips to hers, and the great change would be wrought in an instant. The years' had been long and lonely since a woman had turned her face toward- his. Big Darby’s eves 'were dry’; an aching lump filled bis trout., A kiss that moment would have destroyed the monotony'of the years. It would have fixed n bright vision in what' had been a desolate future., It would hove been the cornerstone upon which. nature coiiljL build a great white castle of romance. . That moment big Darby saw the face of Juan, the ox driver.. It was turned toward tho low southeast, -where ii great pale moOn was rising, and upon that face of Juan, the-ox of Marie and her mothev, and Juau, the jbor Porto Rican peon, clutched at the belief with all Ins simple mind that the while roan was an angel from heaven, and because ftf'ivas the right way, because he had' made up .his mind, Trooper _Darby had strength to lead Marie into the right ray. When he journeyed to .Ban Juan to get his-finals cashed, all the American soldiers in the cupital hity were ’talking about a new war in China. Big Darby took no drink, though there was much money In his pocket. On the way back to Coroxal he wondered'if the war. in China would mean m\rch action. It. was evening when he .walked up tile trail,, and-bv his side was the old priest of the district. Silent­ ly they \yalked together upwardr-^ upward toward the heights. Marie was there, Juan was there, andvin the doorway tho old 'mother sat in the deepening twilight .mumbling old refrains. .‘ The moon beamed down upon the mountain tops, while the priest ut­ tered softly thg words of the old, old story, and the" moon played in tho deaths of the. running rivers and whitened the great cliffs—-and the soul of one of Undo Sam’s cavalry- Srcmtrtfry - y — r ? v-i -*■ LOWE BROTHERS “ H i g h s t a n d a k d " PAINTS ' \ • GIVE f e r RESULTS’^ ■‘ SOWTOPAlUT" will UUirtjr. .• , A we .

The trooper arose to his 1:........... feet, Shook himself like a great beast . that lias slept under tho weight of an ugly dream and moved slowly down the trap. Juan started to his feet quickly, but he did not under-; 'stand, .Senorita'Marie would have followed, but the trooper spoke: ' <fNo, no; manana'."^ ■ Themanner of his. words was con­ vincing. Big Darhy turned on a cross trail and walked and walked. At length he came to a river—the tiny Coroxal, which was tinkling noisily over the stones and down the mountain to the bosom o f its parent; the Rio Grande. Darby sat down upon a rock at tho river’s edge. Ho had done no wrong, Tho wee of Juan had sent the crushing troths home in time. His dream of a life in these fruit laden hills withMario was beautiful, but not according to the law. In the memory of the troop he had drunk when the mood, was upon him. The.thirst was burn­ ing him npw. Ho would always drink, and, like an old cavalry horse if parted from his troop, he would crave for it. Besides, no had not hurt Marie deeply yet. He would show her the Tight way. But there were no lights ahead. That night big Darby did not re­ turn at “ tans.” The troopers smil­ ed and told each other that he had come down the pole. They wonder­ ed where he got the price. They Darby was not were very wrong. JJ drunk. He was out in the dark, Hie fighting A splendid fight—at edge of a mountain stream. * ' * * * *• * * ■ To some men life is a continual nagging skirmish; to others it is a single decisive engagement won or lest; to still .others, and these are legion, life is a long, drowsy Bum­ mer camp..
