After his retirement General Scott passed the summer of 1SC2 at Cozzen's hotel, West Point, where every even ing a party of gentlemen adjourned to the geDeralV sitting room for their game. Being a good player, the host was usually victorious, but If he and In is partner were ever beaten Scott's Ire wus made manifest One night it happened that the usual party was missing. What wus to be done? The general must have bis whist. There happened to be staying at the hotel a judge, who was asked to do the favor of taking the fourth hand. With some protest on his part he agreed to do it By cutting for part ners the general and the Judge played together and were beaten horribly beaten. , Knowing how it Irritated the gen eral to lose the game, the Judge as be rose from the table said in bis most ilignified and courtly way: "I formerly played a fairly good game of wblst hut have been out of practice so long that I am somewhat rusty. I hope that fact may be taken as an excuse for my mistakes." Whereupon the general arose with equal dignity and retorted, "I am glad to learn that 1 have been playing with latent talent and not with a natural born fool!"

G6e Blond Giant It is Not Safe to Jump at X Conclusions i-By CLARISSA MACKIEf a H"l I II II III 1 ! I 1 I 111 II I X-I Mark Ellsworth bought a magazine of the train boy and settled comforta bly back In bis seat The book opened of -itself at one of Eunice Ward's charming little love stories, and Mark scanned the columns eagerly for the paragraph that introduced the inevita ble man In the case. He was vexed with himself even as his eyes fell upon the offending paragraph. As usual In Eunice's latest stories the hero was everything to be ad miredmanly, lovable and big and blond and handsome. Mark slapped the pages together and cast the magazine from him, staring moodily at the fleeting scenery. He was rather below the medium height, dark and pale and square Jawed and very American. Quite the opposite of Eunice Ward's ideal a.s depicted in her stories. Of course the big fresh faced English type must be the sort of men Eunice admired, for her heroes were all of that description. The train drew to a stop before a little terra cotta station, and Mark gathered up his traps and hastened out Into the October sunshine. He hud cherished a vague hope that Eunice might be there to meet him once in the enrlier stages of their ac quaintance she had come for him but no, Mrs. Raymond, his hostess, sat aiune m me muiur smiling a warm wei- come. , "Eunice was coming, too," she said as they sped along the oiled road to ward Windymere. "but at the last mo ment Mr. Punderson reminded her of a promised walk, so she went with bim." "Who Is Mr. Funderson?" asked Mark grimly. "Not Percy Ranier Pun derson, the poet chap?" "Tes; and you will like bim so much," returned Mrs. Raymond enthu siastically, her dark eyes flashing one glance at his stern profile. "No doubt," said Mark dryly. "He's an Englishman. Isn't he?" "Oh. yes." "Big and blond and something of a giant?" There was an unconscious note of anxiety in his deep voice. "Why, yes in a way," laughed Mrs. Raymond, as she gave him her hand alighting. "I. didn't know you men no ticed each other's looks much." "We don't as a rule." returned Mark deliberately, "but we observe and ad mire poets as we do women, you know." "You will like Mr. Punderson," pre dicted Mrs. Raymond, as she directed hint to bis room. Mark Ellsworth was sure that he must detest Punderson the ppet. As he dressed for dinner his fine forehead was creased with a dark frown as he went ow the months of his acquaint ance with Eunice Ward. He had been a bosom friend of Dick Raymond's be fore that gentleman's marriage and since then had been a frequent guest at Windymere. Eunice was Mrs. Ray mond's cousin, and it was at Windy mere that Mark had met and fallen in. love with her amoug the winding paths of that most fascinating of homes. The presence of Percy Ranlcr Tun derson at Windymere was significant. Mark had heard of him as a dreamy, soulful Individual, and he could not as sociate Mrs. Raymond's description of the Englishman with the drooping, anaemic poet bis imagination bad con jured. Eunice gave him a cool little hand and a fleeting glimpse of sea blue eyes that were liiddeu at once by thickly fringed white lids. "We had about given you up," she said reproachfully. "You've promised to come down every Saturday for the past month and now, the first week in October, our expectations are at last realized!" The mock regret In her tone quite hid souiethinc that Mark i was too miserable to recognize. "I've been very busy," he said ab sently, "and In town the weeks do slip away. You have not been dull?" His eyes involuntarily turned toward Puu dersou's broad back. "Not ut all!" she cried hastily. "Mr. Punderson is quite as ardent a pedes trian as 1 am. aud together we have tramped over every road In Mereton. coming home with the most appalling appetites." "I hope you will walk' with me," said Mark, speaking more wistfully than he knew. "Of course." she replied quickly. "I know the loveliest place in the country, side. We will start tomorrow morn ing while the others are at church." The prospect of having Eunice all to himself for several hours put Mark in the best of spirits and during the course of the evening he came to like the big quiet blond giant who seemed a living representation of the heroes who marched through the pages of Eu- alee s stories. As they struck into a long amber lighted wood road the next day Mark turned and looked at Eunice, she step ping easily beside him. She wore a simple walking skirt of white serge and a white knitted coat, with a white felt hat perched on her golden hnir. She looked very young and very fair. but he thought her voice lacked its usual buoj-HUcy. Then it occurred to bim that Eunice might care for Pun derson and the poet might be merely wbillngr away u pleasant fortnight amid congenial companions. Suppose Punderson was trifling with Euulce'a love and she cared cured! "Why do you look bo very fierce 7" she laughed suddenly. "I was thinking," he said, somewhat lamely. "And disagreeable as the thoughts must be Judging from your frown you will not sell them for pennies?" She Jingled some coins in a tiny pocket of her Jacket. "I was thinking what I'd do to the man who ever caused you one heart ache!" he burst out passionately. She paused and faced him with a blank look in her eyes. "Why why do you say such a thing?" she asked with an effort "Because oh, Eunice, because I love you. , You needn't turn away. Of course I know it is of no use I'm not the sort to attract you but it relieves my mind to tell you." he ended bitter ly. He did not look at her face; his eyes were fixed on the dead leaves on the ground under their feet. "How do you know that it is of no use?" she said quietly, and us he look ed up, startled, her eyes drooped. "Eunice!" His hands went out and were withdrawn, clinched, to his sides. "Oh. of course I know I'm not the type you admire one has only to read irour stories to recognize that Eunice. But, Eunice, if you ever need me I'll fight for you until the last" "I need you now, Mark," she said al most luaudibly. "Ah!" His hands clasped hers this lime, and he looked at her eagerly. "Who is it, Eunice? You needn't .be lifraid to tell me," he urged. The fringes lifted, and in another Instant he would have glimpsed a heaven In their depths, but then there came an Interruption. Firm footsteps 'trod the crisp leaves, and there came Into view the massive form of Percy Ranier Punderson. His hands were stuffed lu his pockets, and his fair hair was rumpled and tossed out of Its i ugual order. He stopped short at sight of the two. and as his glance fell on Eunice's lovely, agitated coun tenance a light came Into his eyes. "Ah! I thought I had the woods to myself," he stammered awkwardly. "I thought you had gone to church with Dora nnd Dick," observed Eunice, recovering her composure. "I was tak ing Mr. Ellsworth over to the ruined chapel. Won't you join us?" "Thank you;, no. I was about to turn back. We started for church, but the motor broke down at the cross roads. The Grenvilles came along and offered scats for two, and, as I was out of humor for church, I walk ed back." He made as if to retrace his steps, but Eunice's carelessly put question checked him. "Who was with Alice Grenvllle" she asked. "Why cr Tommy I.nphnm, I be lieve, nnd er her father was driving the machine. I'm afraid you'll be late for luncheon if I detain you any longer," he said, and. with a nod of farewell that included Mark, leaning against a nearby tree, Mr. Punderson tramped back over the fallen leaves and was soon out of sight . "Shall we go on?" asked Eunice. Their walk was resumed in a silence that was not broken by any reference to their interrupted conversation. A primness had settled around Mark's lips, and his chin looked more square than ever. Eunice's fair brow was puckered in a frown, and there was a troubled look Jn her eyes. When Mark did open his lips once more It was to speak of the brilliant autumn coloring or the scampering gray squirrels that crossed their path. At last they emerged upon a cleared ppace crowning a high bluff that Jut ted Into the sea. Here were the charred and crumbled ruins of a once beautiful stone chapel. Mark removed his hat and drew a deep breath of the sweet pure air. "Windymere is beautiful, but If I had my choice I'd build a home right here on this headland," he said thoughtfully. "There is a good road that leads into the highway," observed Eunice quiet ly as she seated herself on the stone steps of he ruined edifice. "I have bought this land, Mark. Don't you think It will make a beautiful home for me?" She was looking at him through drooping lashes. "Yes," he returned dully, staring a way at the glistening waves. He vns thinking of the ideal life Eunice would lead with her poetic husband if she married Punderson. And he was sure that she cared for the Englishman. "I want to tell you something about Mr. runderson." went on Eunice. "1 am sure you will understand that It is entirely confidential." "Yes," he repeated grimly. , "Well, Mr. Punderson Is very much In love with Alice Grenvllle, and ,she Is flirting outrageously with every man she meets. Just nt present it Is Tom my I.apham, whom no one takes se riously, yet poor Mr. Punderson is nb surdly Jealous. If he understood wo men he might see that Alice is In love with him nnd that she Is afraid some body will discover that fact Stupid, isn't he?" A pink flush wavered in her cheeks, and her blue eyes were quite hidden. jfark breathed quickly. He took a step toward her, a light In his dark eyes. "Eunice," he said hoarsely, "arc all women like that do they try to hide their love from the man who loves them?" "Not all, Mark," she slild In a tone between tears nnd laughter, "br:t tioso of us who are not sure, when v give our love first, we we must dissemble, such as.descrlblng our hero as a blond giant when ns n matter of fact Oh, Mark" ns he took her In his arms. "When an h mntter of fact" he re pented, laughing down Into her eyes. "ne Is like you," she whispered, her Hps against his. t A. McCAl I FN Pr.M. ,......vuU t. H. VAL'PEL.
