IX. ?fe. 4& when he came to my house today, damned if he didn't patronize me!? talked to me about the Plevna siege, and wanted to discuss.Soarko and the Bal kans or some other fool thing: -what in thunder have I to do with campaigns in Turkey??and I thought he meant those nigger soldiers the British have in India ?Goorkhas, I know now?and I did tell him it was an awful blunder, that only a Russia: would make, to take those Sepoy fellows and put 'em into a winter cam paign. Of course I hadn't been booking up the subject, and he had, and sprung it on me; and then, by gad, as he was go ing, he said he had books and maps he would lend me, and if there was any thing he could do for me that a gentleman could do, not to hesitate about asking. Damn his impudence!" Poor Button! One of his idiosyncrasies was to talk wisely to the juniors on the subject cf European campaigns and to criticise the moves of generals whose very names and centuries were entang ling snares. His own subalterns were, unfortunately for him, at the house when Hayne called, and when he, as was his wont, began to expound on current mili tary topics. "A little learning" even he had not, and the dangerous thing that that would have been was supplanted by something quite as bad, if not worse. He was trapped and thrown by the quiet mannered infantry subaltern, and it was all Messrs. Freeman and Royce could do to restrain their impulse to rush after Hayne and embrace him. Buxton was cordially detested by his "subs," and well knew they would tell the story of his defeat, so he made a virtue of neces sity and came out with his own version. Theirs was far more ludicrous, and, while it made Mr. Hayne famous, he gained another enemy. The ?th could not fail to notice how soon after that all social recognition ceased between their bulky captain and the pale, slender sub altern; and Mrs. Buxton and Mrs. Ray ner'- became suddenly infatuated with each other, while their iord3 were seldom seen except together. All this time, however, Miss Travers was making friends throughout the gar rison. No one ever presumed to discuss the Hayne affair in her presence, because of her relationship to the Rayners, and yet Mrs. Waldron had told several peo ple how delightfully she and Mr. Hayne had spent an afternoon together. Did not Mrs. Rayner declare that Mrs. Wal dron was a woman who told every thing she knew, cr words to that effect? It is safe to say that the garrison was greatly interested in the story. How strange it was that he should have had a 'ete-a tete with the sister of his bitterest foe! When did they meet? Had they met since? Would they meet again? All these were questions eagerly discussed, yet never asked of the parties themselves, Mr. Hayne's reputation for snubbing people standing him in excellent stead, and Miss Travers' quiet dignity and re serve of manner being too much for those who would have given a good deal to gain her confidence. But there was Mrs. Rayner. She, at least, with all her high and mighty ways, was no unapproachable creature when it came to finding out wliat she thought of other people's con duct. So half a dozen, at least, had more or less confidentially asked if she knew of Mr. Hayne ..nd Miss Travers' meeting. Indeed sh* did; and she had given Nellie her opinion of her conduct very decidedly. It was Capt. Rayner himself who interposed, she said, and for bade her upbraiding Nellie any further. Nellie being either in an adjoining room or up in her own on several occasions when these queries were propounded to her sister, it goes without saying that that estimable woman, after the manner of her sex, had elevated her voice in re sponding, so that there was no possibil ity of the wicked girl's failing to get the full benefit of the scourging she de served. Rayner had indeed positively forbidden her further rebuking Nellie; but the man does not live who can pre vent one woman's punishing another so long as she can get within earshot, and Miss Travers was paying dearly for her independence. It cannot be estimated just how great a disappointment her visit to the fron tier was proving to that young lady, sim ply because she kept her own counsel. There were women in the garrison who longed to take her to their hearts and homes, she was so fresh and pure and sweet and winning, they said; but how could they when her sister would recog nize them only by the coldest possible nod? Nellie was not happy, that was certain, though she made no complaint, and though the young officers who were daily her devotees declared she was bright and attractive as she could be. There were still frequent dances and par ties in the garrison; but March was nearly spent, and the weather had been so vile and blustering that they could not move beyond the limits of the post. April might bring a change for the better in the weather, but Miss Travers wondered how it could better her position. It is hard for a woman of spirit to be materially dependent on any one, and Miss Travers was virtually dependent on her brother-in-law. The little share of her father's hard savings was spent on her education. Once free froin school, she was bound to another apprenticeship, and sister Kate, though indulgent, fond and proud, lost no opportunity of telling her how much she owed ro Capt. Ray ner. It got to be a fearful weight before the first summer was well over. It was the main secret of her acceptance of Mr. Van Antwerp. And now, until she would consent to name tiie day that should bind her for life to him, she had no home but such as Kate Rayner could j offer her: and K ite was bitterly offended j at her. There was just one chance to | end it now and forever, and to relieve her sister and lise captain of the burden of her support. Could she make up her mind to do it? And .Mr. Van Antwerp offered the opportunity So far from breaking with her. as she half expected?so far from being even angry and reproachful on receiving tiie letter she had written telling him all about her meetings with Mr. Hayne?he iiad written again and again, reproach ing hmis; If for his doubts and fears, j bagging lier forgiveness for having writ- I ten and telegraphed to Kate, humbling j himself before her in the most abject j way, and imploring her to reconsider her determination and to let him write to j Capt. and Mrs Rayner to return to their j eastern home at once, that the marriage j might take place forthwith and he could ! bear her away to Europe in May. Letter after letter came, eager, imploring, full of tenderest love and devotion, full of | the saddest apprehension, never re- J proaching, never doubting, never com- j manding or restraining. The man had found the way to touch a woman of her generous nature: he had left ail to her; he was at her mercy, and she knew well that he loved #ier fervently and that to lose her would well nigh break l is heart. Could she say the word and be free? Surely, as this man's wife there '< would be no serfdom; and, yet. could she wed a man for whom she felt no spark : of love? I They went down to the creek one fine : morning early in April. There had been ! a sudden thaw of the snows up the ; gorges of tiie Rockies, and the stream had Overleaped its banks, spread over the low lands and flooded some broad ! depressions in tiie prairie. Then, capri cious as a woman's moods, the wind whistled around from the north one night and bound the lakelets in a band of ice. The skating was gorgeous, and all the pretty ankles on the post were re joicing in the opportunity before the set ting of another sun. Coming homeward at luncheon time Mrs. Rayner, Mrs. Bux ton, Miss Travers and one or two others, escorted by a squad of bachelors, strolled somewhat slowly along Prairie avenue towards the gate. It so happened that the married ladies were foremost in the little party, when who should meet them but Mr. Hayne, coming from the east gate! Mrs. Rayner and Mrs. Bux ton, though passing him almost elbow to elbow, looted straight ahead or other wise avoided his eye. He raised his for age cap in general acknowledgment of the presence of ladies with the officers, but glanced coldly from one to. the other until his blue eyes lighted on Miss Trav ers. No woman in that group could fail to note the leap of sunshine and gladness to his face, the instant flush that rose to I his cheek. Miss-Travers herself saw it I quickly, as did the maiden walking just behind her, and her heart bounded at the sight. She bowed as their eyes met, spoke his name in low tone, and strove to hide her face from Mr. Blake, who turned completely around and stole a sudden glance at her. She could no more account for than she could control it, but her face was burning. Mrs. Ray ner, too, looked around and stared at her, but this she met firmly, her dark eyes never quailing before the angry glare in her sister's. Blake was begin ning to like Hayne and to dislike Mrs. Rayner, and he al ways did like mischief. "You owe me a grudge, Miss Travers, if you did but know it," he said, so that all could hear. "You, Mr. Blake! How can that be. possible?" "I spoiled a serenade for you a few eights ago. I was officer of the day. and caught sight of a man gazing up at your window after midnight. I felt sure he was going to sing; so, like a good fellow, I ran over to play an ac companiment, and then?would you be lieve it??he wouldn't sing, after all." She was white now. Her eyes wero gazing almost imploringly at him. Something warned him to hold his >eaoe, and he broke off short. "Who was it? Oh, do tell as, Mr. Blakel" were the exclamations, Mrs. Rayner being most impetuous in her de mands. Again Blako caught the appeal in Miss Travers' eyes. "That's what I want to know," he re sponded, mendaciously. "When I woke up next morning, the whole thing was a dream, and I couldn't fix the fellow at all." There was a chorus of disappointment and indignation. The idea of spoiling such a gem of a sensation! But Blake took it all complacently until he got home. Then it began to worrv him. Was it possible that she knew he was there? That night there was a disturbance in the garrison. Just after 10 o'clock, and while the sentries were calling off the hour, a woman's shrieks and cries were heard over behind the quarters of Com pany B and close to the cottage occupied by Lieut Hayne. The officers of the guard ran to the spot with several men, and found Private Clancy struggling and swearing in the grasp of two or three soldiers, while Mrs. Clancy wq9 imploring, them not to let him go?h> was wild like again; it was drink; he had the horrors, and was batin' her while she was tryin' to get him home. Ai d Clancy's appearance bore out her words. He was wild and drunken, but he swore he meant no harm; he struggled hard for freedom; he vowed he only wanted to see the lieutenant at his quarters; and Mr. Hayne, lamp in hand, had come upon the scene and was striving to quiet the woman, who only screamed and pro tested the louder. At his quiet ordci the soldiers released Clancy, and the man stood patient and sulx>rdinate. ''Did you want to see me, Clancy*'1 asked Mr. liayne. "Askin' yer pardon sir, I did," began the man, unsteadily, and evidently strug gling with the fumes of the liquor he had been drinking; but before he could speak again, Mrs. Clancy's shrieks rang out on the still air: "Oh, for the love of God, howld him, some o' ye's! He'll kill himl He's mad, I say! Shure 'tis I that know him best Oh, blessed Vargin, save us! Don't let him loose, Misther Foster!" she screamed to the officer of the guard, who at that moment appeared on the full run. "What's the trouble?" he asked, breath lessly. "Clancy seems to have been drinking, and wants to talk with me about some thing, Mr. Foster," said Hayne, quietly. "He belongs to my company, and I will be responsible that he goes home. It is really Mrs. Clancy that is making all the trouble." "Oh, for the love of God, hear him now, whin the man was tearin' the hair o' me this minute! Oh, howld him, men! Shure 'tis Capt. Rayner wud niver let him go," "What's the matter, Mrs. Clancy?" spoke a quick, stern voice, and Rayner,' I with face white as a sheet, suddenly stood in their midst. "Oh, God be'praised, it's here ye are, captin! Shure it's Clancy, sir, dhrunk, sir, and runnin' round the garrison, and batin' me, sir." "Take him to the guard house, Mr. Foster," was the stern, sudden order. "*Sot a word, Clancy," as the man strove to speak. "Off with him, and if he gives you any trouble, send for me.' And as the poor fellow was led a\say, silence fell upon the group. Mrs. Clancy began a waii of mingled relief and mis ery, which the captain ordered her to cease and go home. More men came hurrying to the spot, and presently the officer of the day. "It is all right now." said Rayner to the latter. "One of my men?Clancy?was out here drunk and raising a row. I have sent him to the guard house. Go back to your quarters, men. Come, captain, will you walk over home with me?" "Was Mr. Hayne here when the row occurred?" asked the cavalryman, look ing as though he wanted to hear some thing from the young officer who stood a silent witness. "I don t know," replied Rayner. 'It makes no difference, captain. It is not a case of witnesses. I shan't prefer charges against the man. Come!" And he drew him hastily away. Hayne sto<xl watching them as they disappeared beyond the glimmer ol his lamp. Then a hand was placed on his arm: "Did you notice Capt. Rayners face? his lips? He was ashen as death." "Come in here with me." was the re ply; and. turning, Hayne led the post surgeon into the 1 ;ouse. [to bic continued j Epoch.
