Thf band wa* playing "A Summer Night In Munich." Out on the terraca colored UghU hung like globes of Are. seats, cunningly placed In secluded corners. In tiled repose to the dancers. There. In the quivering moonlight. stood .Rosemary Maitland. Her companion looked at the sweet face half turned away from him. Presently he spoke. t may be a long, long time." be

“Will you spare a thought for me sometimes?" ”1 shall often think of you." ahe answered simply. "Will you glvs me. a flower?" be said, and turned to the flower-border, filled with quaint, old-fashioned plants —lavender, "boy's lore." “balm" and a host of others. * "What would you like?" she asked. And then with a sudden Impulse she picked off a piece of an old-fashioned plant, and offereu It to him. •There's rosemary, for remembrance." she said, a little unsteadily. And as Jim puncan took tbe little pungent-smelling sprig he kept the hand in his. Surely the hour was come! "Rosemary.” he said; "Rosemary, will you remember me? I lore you. Darling, won’t you speak to me?" “What do yoo want me to say?" she whispered, and- the light In her aweet bine eyes was quite enough for Jim Duncan, for he took her in his strong srrrs. and murmured all those

The June sun beat down fiercely on tbe green meadows of Paditow court as Rosemary walked slowly down the avenue to meet the postman. He gave her one leter—a thin, foreign letter,

gers she tore It open. There lay. dry and discolored, a aprlg of rosemary. A

mute reproach.

‘ "Dear Ulaa Maitland.” the letter ran—"My dear old chum Jim Duncan asks me to write these few lines, which ,he cannot write himself. His hours We numbered, and. stricken with fever, he has not loag -o live. He begs to enclBse the sprig of rosemary, and to remind you—though without reproach —that It was given for remembrance. He has never forgotten you. 1 am, yours sincerely. Rupert Moore.” A little gasping sob escaped her Ups.

In the hall Mrs. Maitland met her.

and In horror at the sight of the white, agonised face, she exclaimed: •Rosemary! What la It?” The girl held out the letter with shaking fingers. “Don't speak to ms!" she said, hoarsely. ”1 ran’t bear It yet. Mother'"—with a wild crj—“mother, my heart Is broken." It was a year liter. Time, the great healer, had laid a gentle hand on Rosemary’s wild sorrow. hushing It to rest, soothing tbfc d«fl agony. Still, there lay In a little drawer of her bureau that envelop, with Its sprig of faded rostmary. and the faint odor never failed to bring back the old. sad memories. Sir Jasper Carew was very tender in bis honest devotion. One day he told her of hi* love; very gently, very tenderly, all the devotion, silent and strong, of yearT growth he laid at her

A tall, dark-eyed woman stood be.slde them, her sheeny satin train sweplng over the grass, diamonds glit-

looking ke^niy at Rosemary.

"Ah.'-ft^tSili yon. Mr. Duncan? So

“’fes. for a year; I hope not more. I shall hope to come and see you be-

But—" She paused, and Jasper took her hands In bis. "Rosemary." be said, and bis voice trembled. "Rosemary. I can be content with a very Uttle lore. If you will only let me take care of you. Will you be my wife?" . Rosemary looked ct him stealily. "If you can be content," she said softly. "I will do. my best to make you

happy."

‘ It was a strange, an almost pathetic, wooing, but Jasjer Carew .felt amply rewarded for bis years of faltulul de-

In planning a camping trip the first things to receive consideration are the climate of the locality chosen, the manner by which the camp Is reached and IU resources in household equipments and provisions. A rented camp usually contains all necessary furnishings sad utensils excepting bed and table linen. If bedding D supplied. It Is well to supplement It with a steamer rug or blanket for each of the party. In the woods of northern Maine and Canada flannel blankets In which to sleep will prove comfortable, and after Augcst they will be uaefjl In most o*her place* as well. If the camp Is easily gained by railroad, wagon or steamboat, the amount of baggage ia not of great Importance, but If th* location 1* remote from such conveyance* and only reached by canoe and carry, the woman who has the least baggage will find herself most popullr with the guMs*. These men grumble bitterly at trunks or boxes, and large trunks are well nigh Impossible In canoes. If a trunk must lie had. It can be left at some central point on the railroad or steamboat line with the traveling suit and other effects of the kind. Heavy waterproof canvas hags (the Indians call them wangun bags). can 1k> bought at sporting goods stores, and in them can be rorriel safely everything needed far the trip. With these a llgl/t canoe will transport several hundred pounds. The bags can be checked the same as trunks. To avoid exposure from wet and cold It is well to be provided with

A spring bed that will rival In comfort all tbe patented arrangements In the world is readily made. Fasten together with sails a framework of pole*, putting a strong crosspiece at head and foot. For the first layer select spruce poles the size of a broomstick. tapering at one end to tbe size of a finger. Cut these long enough to project at least s foot at each end. and put the big ends at the head of the . bed. To nail these down wlH mean to make a bed as hard as a board, so they should remain loose, the extra length at head and foot allowing for sagging. Place these poles three or four Inches apart. Cover them with a cross layer of coarse spruce or balsam or pine boughs, and above them arrange layer after layer of fine, spruce tip*, adding '* final layer of the fiat cedar Up*. With a blanket over Ute whole, the bed ia complete. For s' trip where only a night Is spent In a place a more quickly contrived bed consists of a strip of heavy canoe canvas. For this a strip the length of an ordinary cot bed should have a hem at each side wide enough to admit s strong spruce pole, and the poles can be rested on

say that the stitching of the hem should be strong. When the company breaks camp the poles can be taken out and thrown away, and the canvas rolled, up and carried along. Some people carry with them on such journeys an empty tick, which can be qulcllly filled with cedar Up* and dry grass. Empty pillow ticks filled with balsam make pillows of the best klad.
