TOMMY Afiikih S.
It was quite a. romance in the be-
ginning, rather funny in the middle,
and in the end positively audacious.
Little Gertie Kingston, driving a
pony along a country lane that skirt-
ed a big field in which a battalion of
soldiers were exercising. pulled up to
watch them, when without the least
warning, down went the front rank
on their knees. An officer shouted
“Firel” and off went the pony as fast
as he could lay his legs to the ground.
Remembering a very steep, unpro-
tected declivity not more than a mile
ahead, the frightened girl, she was
only 13, set her feet against the
splashboard and pulled desperately.
She cut her gloves to ribbons, but
Bobs galloped on with speed una-
bated, and, dashing round a corner,
almost plunged into a company of
soldiers. ,
The men sprang right and loft—all
but one. He made a leap at the run-
away and caught hold of his bridle.
Terrified anew, the pony dragged him
some little distance, but, failing to
shake him off, eventually gave up the
struggle.
Of course, Gertie burst into tears
when quite sure the danger was over.
So the soldier got up beside her and
drove her half a mile on her way.
“I’ve only a shilling,” she said, of-
fering the coin. “I wish it was a sov-
ereign. If you tell me your name,
Uncle John will send you one. _I
thank you very much, and shall never
forget that you saved my life.”
The soldier took the shilling and
eyed it comically. He was {swell-
set-up fellow, and he looked very
handsome in his red coat. So, at
least, Gertie thought.
“I can’t take this, don’t you know,”
he said, smilingly. .
And he tossed the shilling into Ger~
tie’s lap.
“But won’t you tell me your name ?”
she urged, thinking that the small—
ness of the reward was the reason or
its non-acceptance.
The soldier laughed merrily.
“With pleasure. It’s Tommy At-
kins. -Private Tommy Atkins. Now,
don’t you forget it.”
And with another laugh ofi he ran,
Gertie watching him, very sorry that
the despised shilling was all she had.
The soldiers formed when “Private
Atkins” rejoined them, and, turning
the corner at the double, passed out
of the girl’s sight.
Nine years passed. Gertie was now
Miss Kingston of Balcomer. She had
not expected any such stroke of for-
tune, but two male cousins had
died, and a third had ofiended. Mr.
Raynor, who, being able to dispose of
his property as he saw fit, had be-
queathed a few thousands to the of-
fending nephew and the Balcomer es-
tate to Gertie. .
The girl, never to her knowledge,
met this distant cousin Richard; nor,
indeed was she aware that she had
displaced him. That had been kept
from her.
During all these years she had not
forgotten Tommy Atkins, the name
by which she persisted in speaking
of the soldier who had stopped her
pony. Although only a private, he
was her typical hero, a veritable Pa-
ladin.
It was not surprising, therefore,
that one of her first resolves, on re—
alizing what seemed to her unlimited
wealth, should be to reward her hero
in the proper manner.
Having ascertained that the Hert-
ford Fusiliers were stationed at Pem-
bury she visited a jeweller’s shop and
bought an elaborate gold watch and
a massive chain of the same costly
metal The watch she left to be suit-
ably engraved.
“Presented to Tommy Atkins, of the
lst Battalion, Hertfordshirc Regi-
ment, by Gertrude Kingston, as a
mark of gratitude.”
“I don’t suppose that is the soldier’s
name,” Miss Kingston explained, “but
I want to put it on the watch. He
saved my life, and that was the
name he gave me.”
Having purchased the most expen-
sive purse the shop contained, she
placed inside it five bank notes.
When the watch had been delivered
she set out alone for Pembury.
To and fro before the door which led
to the offlcers’ quarters at Pembury
barracks Private Glossup was doing
sentry-go.
Miss Kingston stopped in her path.
“Can you tell me,” she asked, “if
there is a soldier here named Tommy
—Thomas Atkins?”
Private Glossup grounded his Lec-
Metford.
“That’s my name,” he said, with a
knowing wink; then bringing his ri-
fle to the shoulder smartly, he
marched to the sentry box, turned
right about face, and marched back.
At this juncture Sergeant Smith ap-
peared in the doorway, smart in sash,
gloves and sword, and swinging a
natty cane. Miss Kingston addresse
yher question to him. ‘
“Some-body’s been having you on
toast, Miss,” he answered, interrupt-
ing the explanation which she had
concluded was very necessary.
Stepping aside to make room, he sa-
luted an officer who passed in—tall
and handsome, with a face bronzed
to copper color. The battalion had
not long returned from India.
“That is he!” exclaimed Miss King-
ston. “I should know him anywhere.
Will you kndly tell him that a. lady
wishes to speak to him? 'Stay a mo-
ment,” she went on, producing her
card case. “Give him this card, and
say I am the girl whose life he saved
near Balcomer about nine years ago.
My pony ran away and he stopped
it. I dare say he will remember.”
He conducted her to an orderly
room, gave her a chair, and entered
his commanding oflicer’s quarters.
Lieut-Col. Graham, almost the
youngest officer of that rank in the
British army, had just taken off his
gloves when the sergeant entered,
and, saluting, gave him the card.
“Lady wants to see you,” he said.
The colonel started. “Miss Kings.-
ton, Balcomer Hall!” he exclaimed, in
tones of surprise. “What the dickens
does she want with me. I won’t see
her. Tell her—tell her—don’t tell her
anything. It wasn’t her fault—” This
to himself. “Did she mention her busi-
ness?”
“Not exactly, sir. I was to say that
you saved, her life about nine years
ago. Stopped a runaway pony, sir.
She asked for a soldier of the name
of Tommy Atkins—begging your par-
don, sir,” added the‘ sergeant with an
ill-concealed grin. ‘
Col. Graham pondered for a moment.
“By Jove! I remember,” he cried at
length. “She must be the little girl
in a short frock who wanted to give
me a shilling, and begged me to tell
her my name. You say she asked for
Tommy Atkins?”
“Yes, sir. And she recognized, you
as him—begging your pardon, again,
sir.”
“Then she doesn’t know me? I’ll
see her. What a coincidence? And
she really thought I was a private?
Did she have a good look at me when
I passed?” '
“Not more than a glimpse, I should
say, sir.”
“Ahem! Crockett!”
“I want you to change tunics with
me,” said the Colonel, “or lend me
yours, anyway. You are about my
size, I think.” .
When Miss Kingston entered Col.
Graham was standing at attention,
with his thumbs pressed tightly
against the seams of his trousers, in
the stiffest, I’ve-just—swallowed-a-
bayonet attitude that he could assume.
But his eyes said: “Awfully pretty .
girl,” as plainly as eyes could speak.
“I’m so glad to meet you again,” she
said. “I’ve never forgotten you; and
I’ve brought you a little gift, if you
will accept it.”
Col. Graham executed a half right
turn and faced Private Crockett.
a“Is it against the regulations to re-
ceive a reward for doing my duty,
Sir?” he asked.
“I—I—I don’t think so," stam-
mered Crockett, almost as red as the
tunic that covered his manly breast.
Miss Kingston looked at him in sur-
prise, then glanced inquiringly at her
hero, whose bronzed features were the
most wooden expression that he could
summon 11p. Evidently she suspected
something. .But she produced the
watch and chain and the purse and
presented them with a few graceful
words.
“I had the name you gave me en-
graved on the watch,” she said; “but
that is not correct, I think.”
“No, Miss,” answered the Colonel,
glancing at the case. “That was a
joke. But Tommy Atkins will do very
Well. I am very much obliged.”
It was rather a singular coincidence
that on the day following her return
to Balconier Miss Kingston should re-
ceive a visit from Miss Raynor, a spin-
s-ter sister of the late Squire, who had
hiitherto, for some reason or other.
held aloof, and that this white—haired
old lady should almost at once intro-
duce the subject of her nephew Rich-
ard.
“You don’t know him, I think, my
dear,” she said. “He is Lieutenant-
Colonel of the army, and I must tellyou
that he was always led to expect that
he would succeed to Balcomer. Un-
fortunately for him, he quarrelled with
your uncle, and, in consequence, you
are here.” a
“I never heard a word of it.
did he quarrel?”
“My brother wished him- to marry a
certain lady, and Dick did not see his
way.”
“What a shame!’,’. exclaimed the
girl, deeply interested. “I am so sor-
ry! I feel that I have no right to
Balcomer. Can’t something be done?
Is it possible to divide the property?”
Miss Raynor smiled.
“\Vouldn’t that be rather quixotic,
my dear?” she asked.
“I don't know,” was the reply.
think I ought to do it.”
Miss Raynor soon afterward took
her leave. But a week later she paid
another visit to Balcomer.
“I have heard from Dick,” she said,
“and he’ll call on you the first time
he is in the neighborhood. He says
he doesn’t resent your being here in
the least, and he will be very pleased
to know you.”
Miss Raynor had scarcely been at
Balcomer fifteen minutes—devoted to
praises of her nephew Dick—~when
that gentleman arrived and sent up
his card.
Lieut. Col.‘ Richard Graham, 1st
Battalion Hertfordshire Regiment!”
exclaimed ‘ Miss Kingston, reading
from the card. “Why I was at Pem-
bury ten days ago and I saw—”
“Dick!” interrupted Miss Raynor,
blandly.
“I don’t know, I saw Private Tom-
my Atkins and, I think, his Colonel.
It’s very funny. The Colonel looked
and spoke like a prince,,and Tommy
Atkins like a gentleman.”
The footman retired. Next moment
the Colonel came in, and Miss Kings-
ton stood face to face with her hero,
across whose white waistcoat the mas-
sive chain she had given him was
proudly displayed.
“Why—why—” she began, blushing
almost as red as Private Crockett
when seated in the officer’s chair, “we
are old acquaintances!”
“And cousins,” added the Colonel,
bowing.
“You saved my life!”
“It pleases you to say so. I have
come to thank you for your offer to
share the Balcomer with me.”
“It would be a pity to divide Ba'l-
