Only those [ wfo know anything of what my past has been could form any idea of the 'couMnot have seen you to say bow? j how I thanked you, I would have had to write.

But, though Shef'snt motionless"'ajsd speech iessft^he^-k^w.that he li?^d 7i$een trem ttting so; violently** and that iiis hands were still se*treW?ous he could play no more. It was some^imnut^s that they sat thus, noitlter speaking: and as he fc gfflfned his sclf^ntrol and began to" at tempt some simple little melodies, Mrs. Waldron returned: **IIow very domestic you look, young ? people! Shall we light the lamps?** "I've stayed too long already,*' said Miss Travers, springing to her feet. "Kate does not know I'm out. and will be wondering what has become of her sister.** She Laughed nervously. ^'Thank you so much &r the musici Mr.. Hay ne! Forgive my running off so suddenly, ! won't you, Sirs. Waldron?** 6he asked, ["pleadingly, as she put her hand in hers; and as her hostess reassured her she bent i and kissed the girl's flushed check. Mr. j llayno was still standing patiently by ; the center table. Once more she turned, ?and caught Iiis eye, flushed, half hesi tated, then- hvld out her hand with quick impulse: - "Good evening, Mr. Eayne. I shall J hope to hear you play again.** And, with pulses throbbing and cheeks that still burned, she ran quickly down the line to Capt. Kayners quarters, and was upstairs and in her room in another minute. This was an interview she would find it hard to tell to Kate. But told it was, partially, and she was sitting now. late at night, hearing through her c'osed door her sister's unmusicai lamentations ?hearing still ringing in her ears the re proaches heaped, upon her when that sister was quietly told tliat she and Mr. Hay re had met twice. And now she : was sitting tfiere, true todzerself and her resolution, te?ing Mr. Van Antwerp all aboutit. Can one conjecture-the sensa tions with which he received and read that letter? "Mr. Jiayne, too, was having & wakeful night. He had gone to Mrs. Waldron's to pay a dinner call, with the result just told. He had one or two ether visits to make among the cavalry households in garrison, but, after a few moments' chat with Mrs. Waldron, he decided that he preferred going home. S?ni had 'to call three t?rnes^oefore Mr^ ?Iirroe, oh?y?4 tlip s?mmon?fo dinner that evening.

The doctor came in soon after he finished his solitary dinner, chatted with him awhile, and smoked a wziy at Iiis pipe. ' He wanted to : talk with. Hay ne about some especial matter^ and ]he found it liard work to be gin. The more he saw of his patient the better ne Irked ?mi; he was interested frF ' him, and had been making inquiries.

After that ?as-gone X^bad no more use for such <Old friends than certaJn'other old friends seemed to have for me. It was a mutual' cut. "To the best of my belief you were the gainer in both cases,"* said the doctor, grufiiy. . "The longer I live the more I agree with Carlyle: the men we live and move with are mostly fools.** Hay no's face was as grave and quiet as-ever. "These are.hard lessons to learn, doc tor. rpTesum9 few young f ?llows thought faore of human friendship than I did the first two years 1 was in service,"* ?JJlH^ne,**^akl: the doctor, ^sometimes f^Rave* thought you did not want to talk about i his matter - to any soul on earth; but I am speaking from no empty curi osity now. If you forbid it, I shall not intrude:, but there are some questions that, since knowing you, and believing in you as ! unquestionably do. 1 would like to ask. You seem bent on returning to duty here to-morrow, though you might stay on sick report ten days yet: and I want to stand between you and the possibility of annoyance and trouble if 1 can.** "You are kind, and I appreciate it, doctor; but do you think tliat the colonel is a man who will be apt to let me suffer injustice at the hands of amr one here?" "I don't, indeed. He is full of sympa thy for you. and I know he means you shall have fair play; but a company commander has as many and a* intangi ble ways of making a man suffer as has a woman. ?ow"do you stand with Hay ner?*' "Precisely where I stood five years ago He is the most determined enemy 1 have in the service, and will down me if he. ran: but 1 have learned a good deal in my time Tlnnv is a grim sort of com fort now in knowing that while lie would gladiy trip nie I ran make him miserable by beinj: too strong for him.*" "You still bold the same theory as tc his evidence you did at the time of the court? Of course I haye heard wliat you said to and of him.** * **1 bave never changed in that re spect.** "But supposing that?mind you, I be lieve he was utterly mistaken in what he thought he beard ami saw?suppos ing that all that was tcstimtl to by him actually oa'tirrcd, bave you any theory that would j>oint out the real criminal?* -."Only one. If that money was ever handed me that day at Battle Butte, only one man could have made away with it: and it is useless to charge it to him.** "You mean Hayner?** "I have to mean Hayner. " "But you claim it never reached you?** "(>rtainry;** "Yet every other package, memo randa and all, was handed you?" "Not only that, but Capt. Hull handed me the money packet with the others took them all from his saddle bags just before the charge. The packet was sealed when he gave it to me. and when I broke the seal it was stuffed with worthless blanks*" "And. you have never suspected a sol dier?a single messenger or servant?" "Not one. Whom could I?" . "Hayne, had you any knowledge of -this man Clancy before?** "Clancy! The drunken fellow we pulled out of the fire?" "3Wj?an*ef" ' "No: never to my knowledge saw or heard of him, except when he appeared as witness at the court." "Yet he was with the?th cavalry at that very fight at Battle Butte. He was a sergeant then, though not in Hull's troop.** "Does he say he knew me? or does he talk of that affair?" asked the lieutenant, with sudden interest, "Not that. Ho cannot be said to say anything; but he was wonderfully af fected over your rescuing him?strange ly so, one of the nurses persistsjn telling me, though the steward and Mrs. Clancy declare it was just drink and excitement. Still, 1 have drawn from him that he knew you well by sight during that cam paign; but he says he was not by when Hull was killed." "Does he act as though he knew any thing that could throw any light on the matter?" "I cannot say. His wife declares he has been queer all winter?hard drink ing?and of course that is possible." - "Sam told me there was a soldier here two nights ago who wanted to talk with me, but the man was drunk, and^ae would not let him in or tell me. He thought he wanted to borrow money.n "I declare, I believe it was Clancy!" said the doctor. "If he wants to see you and talk, let him. There's no telling but what even a drink racked brain may bring the matter to light.** And long that night Mr. Hayne sat there thinking, partly of what the doc tor had said, but more of what had oc curred during the late afternoon. Mid &ight.was called by the sentries. Ho went to his door and looked out on the broad, bleak prairie, the moonlight glint ing on the tin roofing of the patch of build) tgs over at the station far across the dreary level and glistening on the patches of snow that here and there streaked the surface. It was ail so cold and calm and still. His blood was hot and fevered. Something invited him into the peace and purity of the night. He threw on his overcoat and furs and strolled up to the gateway, past the si lent and deserted store, whose lighted bar and billiard room was generally the last thing to close along Prairie axenue. There was-not a glimmer of light about the quarters of the trader or the sur geon's beyond. One or two faint gleams stole through the blinds at the big hos pital, and told of the night watch by some fevered bedside He passed on around the fence and took a path that led to the target ranges north of the post and back, of officers', row, thinking deep ly all the while; and finally, re-entering the . garrison by the west gate, he came down along the hard graveled walk that passed in circular sweeps the offices and and the big house of the colonel com manding, and then bore straight away in front of the entire line. Ail was darkness and quiet. He passed in succession the houses of the field offi cers of the cavalry, looked longingly at the darkened front of Maj. Waldron's cottage, where he had lived so sweet an hour before the setting of the last sun, then went on again and paused surprised in front of Capt.^ Rayner's. A bright light was still burning in the front room on the second floor. Was she, too, awake and thinking, of that interview? He looked wistfully at the lace curtains that shrouded the interior, and then the clank of a cavalry saber sounded in his ears, and a tall officer came springily across j the road. "Who the devil's tliatT was the blunt 'military greeting. \ "Mr. Hayne<" was the quiet reply. "What? Mr. Hayne? Oh! Beg "your pardon, man?couldn't imagine who it was mooning around out here after mid night." "I don't wonder," answered Hayne. A'iaui- ratlier given to late hours, and after rcading'a long time I often take a stroll before turning in." "Ali, yes; I see. Well, won't you drop in and. chat awuile? I'm officer of the day, and have to owl to-night." **Tljanks, no, not this time; ? must go to bed. Good night. Mr. Blake." "Good night to you, Mr. Hayne," said Blake, then stood gazing perplexedly after him. "Now, my fine fellow," was his dissatisfied query, "what on earth do ybu mean by prowling around Kay ner s atthisdiour of the night?" [TO EE CONTINUED J j Bed Shirts and Guano Horns.
