ROLLO MAKES PROPOSITIONS The month of August was drawing to its close when an expectant throng of people gathered about the wharf of the great military camp recently established for the home-returning American army at Montauk Point, on the extreme eastern end of Long Island.

Most of the throng were soldiers, but among them was a little group of civilians accompanied by a young trooper wearing a brand-new uniform, but looking very pale and weak, as though recovering from a severe illness.

He was Rollo Van Kyp, only just out from the New York hospital to which he had been taken more than a month before.

With him, and anticipating his every need, were Mr.and Mrs.Norris and Dulce.

Their Long Island summer home had not been sold, and now there was no need that it should be, since Mr.Norris's affairs had taken a decided turn for the better.
