the stars through a chink in the roof
between window and canvas.
It was a very hot night, of that
breathless, lurid deadness that makes
a Malta summer a wearinesa of the
flesh, inside, his tent 13 sturdy souls
were : snoring, under , their, brown
blankets, the sleep of the just; but
the fourteenth,. (Junner Amherst, had
.been awake. snoe. "Lights out," and
sleep would .probably not visit his eye
t ell until the. .little, bugler sounded
reveille from the guard-room step at
Tigne fort. : ,
. He was thinking, and perhaps there
waa aome excuse for the deep concen
tration necessary for such a purpose,
for AmheT.st did not often indulge ill
an art so purely imaginative. . , .
; The tramp of tha aentry up and
down eeruisa lb quarx on his eternal
round, the sob of the tide under the
theer ..cliff, tbe call of a distant siren
from a ship in the grand harbor,
Were the only sounds that broke the
stillneaa of tbe night. . , , . .
, In the daytime Gunner Amherst bad
no time for , thought. ' Drills and
fatigues, drinks in the canteen, crick
et or football, as the Mason might al
low; bathing, a further pint in the
canteen witb a chum, arid then "Last
I'oat," did not leave much time in
which a man might develop original
traita or even a habit of thought, for In
hia set. the reading-room waa not tbs
fashion.
' His face waa puckered into a frown
that marred the usual good teqiper of
Its dare-devil expression. He had
something on hia mind, and that some
thing led li m at lust to riae from his
bed-cot, and don the few clothes neces
sary to decency, quietly tiptoeing at
last out of tbe tent.
Keeping in tbe abadow of the
buildings, away from earshot of the
aentry, be skirted the camp till he
came out beyond tbe gray walla of the.
fort above the sea. There be sat bim
down among the short, sunburnt stub
ble and sand, and bared hia great chest
to the cool night wind of heaven that

Never thought of such a

Well, it's a good sign for
Scott's Emulsion. The body
ias to be repaired like : other
.liings and Scott's Emulsion is
the me'dicihe that does it. ,
These poor bodies wear out
from worry, from over-work,
from disease. They get thin
and weak. Some of the new
ones are not well made and
all of the old ones are racked
from long usage.
Scott's Emulsion fixes all
kinds. It does the work both
inside and out. It makes soft
bones hard, thin blood ' red,
weak lungs strong, hollow
places full. Only the best ma
terials are used In the patchincr
and the patches don't show
through the new glow of health.
No one lias to wait his turn.

' Amherst paused a moment and
gased at the sky, crisped into points
of yellow stars. The wash of the sea
had made him' melancholy, perhaps, as
be waa out of aorta.' That one last
glass of beer the night before in the
canteen had been too mucbr for "Old
Devil-my-ara," as his companions
called him.- Ha-leaned up against a
grey roek bowlder, and tor up a tus
sock of grass.

I There waa a auspicious moiature in
the eyea of this "bit of a waster." lie
waa not in the least a romantic figure.
Hia good-looking face had not the
alert expression of influencing power
that belongs to the born non-commissioned
officer of the BritiHh army. His
clothing, too,, was unromantic, con
aistingofa pair of khaki trousers
and a patched vest hung on anyhow,
his feet thrust into . broken canvas
bathing shoes.
' He was roused by a quick step on the
grass behind him,, and started at. once
into defiant life again. Tears would be
a lasting disgrace if discovered, and
be became merely a motionless gun
ner, looking out with stiff intentness
at the far fulnt line of the Sicilian
coast.
I "Davy I Whatever are yon doing
h"e?" --.
It was the old .name, familiarly
J spoken. No-one ever .called him Davy
. now. To his superiors he, was simply
a bad lot, though a good, all-round
athlete; and to. his companions, a fel
low wbo bould crack' a good .tale, and
put away more beer than any oUier
a fellow, too, whose one stupendous
folly was being too chummy wilh a
man who was on the roll for promo
tion, a man who loved the. readingr
room, and who waa in the choir at the
little Garrison Chapel, and "in" high
favor with the powers that be.
"Yes, Jem," he said, glibly, "I was
just 'avin a bit of a toddle the tent
seemed chokey like. I shonld think
as the thermometer must be about s
'undred in there."
' "Aye," said Jenj, laconically, "I seed
you pass. I waa standing at the dour
of No. 15 hut, and 1 thought as 'ow rd
conic and see what you was up to."
"You m'ght get into a ; row,"- re
turned Amherst, "and that tfd tie bad
for you just, now."
"No worse for me than you."
Jem set himself squarely down on
a bowlder at. his companion's aide, and.
settled his chin upon his folded brown
fist-S. , 1 ,. . ,' .. ... ,
"Davy,". he said, "do you remember
Mojly Maloney.?",..'
Amherat'a face quivered; but he
said, sturdily: "Aye, we'll not talk of
'er just now, Jem." . ,
Jem's face waa determined; his
mouth set in a hard line, that spoiled
his gpp.d looks, giving tc his face aa
expression of obstinate firmness that
gave one a fresh insight into hia char
acter. . .
"Do you mind her yellow hair, like
the buttercups in Mile End Close
fnrm, and her eyes blue and big, like
the forget-me-nots by the roill-pond
where the rushes was so fine and
large? She was a neat dresser, and
had a pretty foot, too."
"Aye," said Davy.
"And the Sunday evenin' -when w
three walked back from church, and
the aky waa like the InBide of a pink
shell, witb atreaka like a violet here
and there ? And ahe says to me, what
a pretty voice I had in the tenor parts,
and never ,e.id a word to you, though
you ana sne wascourtin ."
Amherst made a motion" with " hi
head, for his lips were dry and speech
less.
'And maybe you were wonderin-
why we weren't married,' and why I
lever sum a word about It to you, aft
er she give you the chuc):, and she and
me went walkln' together."
"Maybe you was delicate about It,
and didn't like to 'urt my feclin's."
Davy's voice was hoarse; he was ao
eager to find an excuse for the man
to whom he had been doggedly faith
ful for these many yeara through
thick and thin.
' "Twas only natural as she should
prefer you. I'm a poor one at express
in' my feelin'a, and a poor sort of chaD
and all.' While as for you"
everything in -this line
way you should go
"While, as for me," said Jem, calmly,
"jrou thought as 'ow I was a tuutjl,
neaklnVtbap, and -hod - took MoHj- "
away .from yon; tesnptln' , her lilra;.
while the real troth is, Davy, thnagli
I. never (old you before, that aba
mint worth a snap of you angora
or of mine, for I knew she was THrtle?
with that red-headed chap at (hj
blacksmith'e all the lime you waa at
eoartln' of 'er; and if a girl eoald g
on wHb one chap when she had ptwar
ised to marry another, it seeme)
me aa ahe was not good enough to ba
a pal's wife. . She walked with ma a
hit, and then why, I told 'er as t
meant nothin', eeein' ahe wa on witfc
two or three other chape, and you waa
too Mind to see it. I only done H t
ahow you what she was and to atop
you from throwin' your stupid ol4
self away upon a good-for-uought,"
"You did it for that?" Davy's voleej
was tremulous in its intensity of
earnestness, ."Why, I thought a 'ow
you loved .'er, and was goiu' to get the - -siripe
so as you could get morriet
to'er.".
"I'm not a-going to take no stripe,"
said Jem, steadily. "You're out there,
Davy."
"Why, the colonel spoke to yon tbia
mornin', I know 'e did, for Stubba
told me."
."Aye, Davy, did you never think:
that you and me would be separated
as far aa the sea is from yon moun
tain? You've been a bit unfortunate
in the drinkin' line, and that's agma
you for promotion, but if you waa
thlnkin' that I was a goin' to be set
over your head, you was wrong, Davy
Amherat. Pale we was in the old dayav
and pals we'll be till we snuffs out, and
that' enough for me, if it is for you."
Amherat'a hand stole a little nearer
to the clenched fist on the stubblo..
"Ood'a truth?" he said.
"Ood'e truth," said Jem.
The vow- was taken as solemnly aa -though
some pledge of vast import
ance was being registered.
I "Jem, it was 'urtin' me cruel, thai .
I thought of you and me never-apeak
I tn said uavy, at last, sneepisniy. w
you like, I'll keep a bit straighter. At.
least, I'll try to keep that way on." .
I - Amherst was nothing if not boneV
and Jem admired him for it.. -
I "It'll be no use, Davy. I know yon ol
old,", he answered, hopefully., Th
very smell of a beer-jug Ml draw you a
'mile, but I'll take the will for the deed, -old
chap." - -
I ; When two furtive, lightly-garbei
' figures stole back to their respective
beds, the sky was shivering towards
the dawn. Aa Amherst crept Into hia
bed, the next man to him moved, and.
'muttered in his sleep. "We beseeca
J The to hear us. Good Lord."' He was
I the aecond tenor in the choir, and had
been practicing some hew music the
day before at . the squeaking -nar-monium.
.
I "Amen," said Davy, fervently, as
