Major Hartley and Mr. and Mrs. Davenport had been friends together before the marriage of the Davenporu, do the major was a welcome visitor to their house whenever he chanced to be in England. Duriug-'lhe first two years of their married life they saw very little of him. as the young lieutenant was away on active service, but he came to see them immediately on his return. Uttle Trixie was then

So confidential did they becotpe that Trixie, at the age of three. Informed him that she would marry him when she was old enough, which sent tho young officer Into a fit of laughter. Trixie looked a little hurt, so Lieutenant Hatley smoothed his face and said gravely: "Very well, little woman! ITl marry you. Make haste and

grow up!"

The years went by. Lieutenant Hatley became captain and major, and returned with his regiment to the old country. ,He had not heard much of the Davenports during his stay'In the East, and he was unable to trace them at first, but he at length met Mr. and Mrs. Davenport by accident on a Rhine steamer during a tour on the conti-

nent.

The meeting was a pleasant one for both sides, and when cordial greetings had been exchanged the major asked: “And what about my little friend. Trixie^ 1 She Is getting to be quite a woma'n now, and has forgotten me. I expect.” '“She Is studying at a German high school for girls, and she will go to a Parisian fc,- bool to finish," ‘replied her mother, with a touch of pride. “She is turned 15 now. you know, major.” They spent a day or two together, seeing some of the sights of the Rhine district, and then the major returned to England. A treek later he was off to Egypt, to remain there for four

years.
