hovered
over the broad expanse
of prairie when Lieut
Perry and his little party,
after a brisk canter down
the valley, reached the
barbed inclosure of Dun raven, and the
young commander led unhesitatingly to
the gateway on the northern line. A
sergeant of his troop and two private
soldiers were his escort at the moment; a
third man, by direction of Col. Brainard,
had been sent at the gallop In pursuit of
the distant speck which the orderly had
pronounced to be Dr. Quin, and the in
structions which this messenger bore
were to the effect that the post surgeon
should ride by the most direct route and
join lieut. Perry at the north gate of the
ranch.
In the few minutes which elapsed be
tween the announcement of' the doctor’s
departure on his solitary and unexpected
ride and the arrival vl tt.a little mounted
escort, Perry had time to tell the colonel
something of the situation down the
Moneo and to make a rough sketch of
the inclosure and the distant buildings.
The direction taken by the doctor, up to
the moment when tne black speck dis
appeared from view in the waning light,
would be very apt to lead him, if he rode
far enough, to some point on the wire
fence which spanned the western limit
of Dunraven; but that point would be at
least five or six miles south of the valley.
Possibly there was no gateway north of
tliat—certainly no trail was visible on
the prairie; but the more Mr. Perry
thought of the matter as he rode away
the more was he satisfied that some
where far down that western line there
was an entrance where Dr. Quin, at
least, had the ''open sesame.”
Perry’s orders were, in case nothing
was seen or heard of Bergt Gwynne
while on the way thither, to enter the in
closure and make inquiries at the ranch
itself. Meantime, the Cheyenne scouts
had been hastily summoned from their
lodges along the Monee just above the
post and sent scurrying forth upon the
prairie to trail the horse’s foot prints and
so work back as far as possible before
darkness interposed. Gapt. Stryker, too,
and a dozen of hie beet men, had mount
ed and ridden forth in long, scattered
line across the eastern plain; and these
parties were all five miles out from the
poet before nightfall fairly hid them from
view.
One thing the sergeant had to tell Mr.
Perry which confirmed him in the belief
that the sooner they got to Dunraven the
quicker they would be at the scene of
their comrade’s mishap, whatever that
might prove to be. He had had no time
himself to visit the stables and examine
the wounds on the hone’s flank, but as
they rode away from Rossi ter he turned
in the saddle and called the non-commis
sioned officer to his side.
“What sort of wound is it, sergeant,
that made the hone bleed so—bullet or
knife?"
“It doesn’t look like either, sir. There
are several of them, jagged scratches in
the shoulder and along the flank, like
thorns or nails”— .
“Or barbed wire?” suggested thelfcu-
tenant suddenly.
“Yes, sir, like as hot; though, wo hadn’t
thought of that, not knowing of any
fences hereabouts."
“You’ll see fenoe enough presently.
That’s where we’ll And Sergt. Gwynne,
too. Let your hones out a little. I
want to get there before dark, F possi
ble."
It was dark In the timber, however, aa
they rode through and reined up at the
gateway. It would be half an hour at
the vary least, thought Perry, before the
doctor could join them, if he came at all
It was hy no means certain that the mes
senger had overtaken him, and, even if
he had, was it probable that the doctor
would be in great haste to come? His
mysterious movements of the morning,
his undoubted connection with the night
signals from the ranch, the feet that he
had given his commanding officer no
inkling whatever of these outride Inter
ests of hie, all tended to make Perry dis
trustful of their poet surgeon. He would
not speak of It to a aonl, or hint at the
possibility of such a thing, until he had
evidence that was indisnutable, hut the
young officer was sorely perplexed by
theae indications of some secret and un
lawful enterprise on the part of their
new comrade, and he doubted his sym
pathy in the mission on which they bad
been hurried forth.
Dismounting to examine the gats while
still pondering this matter over In his
mind, Perry found it locked

Watch for the doctor, too.”
Then, through the deepening twilight
he strode, following the trail that led
southward up the slopes. Five minutes’
brisk walk along the springy turf
brought him to the crest and in view of
the lights at the ranch buildings, still
rix or seven hundred yards away.
All through the eastern sky the stars were
peeping forth, and even through the
gleam of the twilight in the west two
brilliant planets shone like molten gold.
All was rilence and peace on every hand,
and, but for those guiding, glimmering
lights at the south, all would hare told
of desolation. Hthfitfl him the ^yi'^y
waited his faithful men. Far beyond the
Monee, out on the northern prairie, he
knew that comrades were scouring the
face of the earth in search of their miss
ing brother. Up the stream, somewhere
behind them, the Cheyennes ware pa
tiently trailing the hoof tracks as long
as light should last; he knew that aearch
must be at an and by this time, and that
some of their number, at least, would be
riding down to join his men. Whoever
found the sergeant wee to fire three shots
in air; the signal could be heard a long
way in that intense stillness, and that
signal was to recall the erernhlng par
ties. Every step brought him deeper
into the darkness of the night; yet
nearer and nearer those tfrinkling lights
ahead.
Already he could distinguish those in
the main building, the homestead, from
those more distant still, In the store
rooms and office. Far over among the
stables and corrals he heard the deep
baying of hounds, end he wondered If it
was to be his luck to snponater any en
terprising watch dogs. ^ bub

thought he, with instinctive motion to
wards the flap of Us holster; and it
would be a wonder ii a tonen that sur
rounded itself wish fifty miles of barbed
wire fencing were not further environed
by a pack of watch dogs of the most ap
proved and belligerent breed. Once
having passed the distant barrier of that
gate on the Monee, however, his way
was unimpeded, and, to all appearance,
utterly unmarked; he had arrived with
in fifty yards of the foremost building,
the homestead, before he was brought to
a halt Then he stopped short, sur
prised, half credulous, and all attention,
listening to the “concord of sweet
sounds” that came floating from the
open casement somewhere along the east
front of the big, gloomy house.
“One part of the story verified, by
Jove! It’s a piano—and well played,
too.”
Full a minute he stood there listening.
Perry was a dancer, whose nimble feet
moved blithely to any measured, rhyth
mical strains, and a soldier whose soul
was stirred by martial music, but with
Chopin and Mendelssohn, Bach and
Rubenstein he had but slight acquaint
ance. That any one should be playing
a piano here on the borders of the IJ&no
Estacado was in itself sufficient cause
for wonderment; that the invisible per
former was playing—and playing with
exquisite taste and feeling—one of the
loveliest of the “Lieder ohne Worte,”
the “Spring Song,” was a fact that con
veyed no added astonishment to his soul;
he never knew it until one sweet night
long after.
However, matters more pressing than
music demanded Mr. Perry’s attention
just here. He had reached Dunraven,
after all Neither dog nor man had
challenged. Once within those barbed
and frowning barriers, all the encircling
objects spoke of security and rest Far
away towards the corrals he heard the
sound of.voieee in jolly conversation; a
rich, melodious laugh rang out on tha
cool evening air; he heard some on*
shouting genial good night to somebody
else, and then the slam of a distant door.
Presently a light popped out frbm a
window in what he believed to be a
storehouse, and all was still again. Even
the piano had ceased. Now was hii
time, thought Perry; and so, boldlj
mounting the stops, he stood upon s
dark portico and strode to the black
shadow in the wall before him where h<
knew the main doorway must be. II

stairs dim lights were shining through

rivalry. Uncertain what to do, he con

A few steps brought him to the corner,
and there lay the veranda before him,
bathed at its farther end in a flood oi
light that streamed from one opened
Venetian window, and through this our
Uined aperture poured the grand tonei
of the melody. “That fellow can rattlr
more music out of a piano than any man

himself, as be strode down the wooden
gallery. “Wonder if if • that boas oow

dow, rooted to the spot, and with hh
frank bine eyes fairly starting from theii

up to her very brows. Startled she
might have beat ter an Instant; scared
—not a bit of itt One instant only of
hesitation, then the rose and swept gal
lantly forward to meet him.
Instinctively Perry’s hand went up to
the visor of hie forage oap and bared the
bright, curling crop of hair. Speechless
with amaze, be could only bow before
her and wait her question; but it was a
moment before she could speak. Brave
as she was, the sudden apparition of a
strangsr staring in upon her solitude
from an open casement was a shock tliat
served to paralyze the vocal cords. He
could see that rite was making gallant
effort to control the tremor that had
seized upon her and to inquire the pur
pose of his coming. He could see, too,
that the sight of the uniform had reas
sured her, and that there was neither in
dignation i:or displeasure in her beauti
ful eyes. Reserve, of course, he expected.
“Did you wish to see any one?" was
finally the form her question took; and
Perry had time to comment to himself,
“English, by Jove!” before he answered
“I did; but let me first ask your par
don for this intrusion. 1 liad no idea
there was a woman at Dunraven. My
knocking at the front brought no answer,
and hearing the piano, I followed the
veranda. Believe me, I am as surprised
as you could possibly have been.”
Perry’s voice was something greatly In
his favor. It was modulated and gentle
when in conversation, and with even a
caressing tone about it when he spoke to
women. Evidently the sound was not
unwelcome to this one She stood erect,
her fingers interlacing as she clasped her
bands in front qt her and looked him
well over with her brave eyes The color
ebbed and flowed through the creamy
whiteness of her face, but the ruses were
winning every moment—the red roses of
the house of Lancaster.
“And—you wished to see—whom? -
she presently asked, with courtesy in
every word.
“Why, I hardly know," answered
Perry, with a smile that showed his
white teeth gleaming through the curl
ing blonde mustache. “A sergeant of
my troop has been missing since morn- 1
ing. HU horse came back to the fort i
just as we were on parade at sunset,
bleeding and without his rider. We
have searching parties out all over the
prairie, and I was ordered to come here
to the ranch to make inquiries."
She hesitated a moment—thinking.
“My father is at home, but I fear he is
not well enough to see you. Mr. Ewen
is with him, and he might know. Will
you—would you step in one moment, and !
I will go and ask?”
“Thank you very much. I wish you
would not trouble yourself. I presume
I can go over to those stable building, or
wherever it is the men sleep; they would
be most apt to know if our sergeant has
been seen.”
“Oh, not it is no trouble; besides, they
are all asleep over there by this time, 1
fancy. They have tqbe out so very early,
don’t you know.”
But Perry had stepped inside even as
he offered to go elsewhere—a fact that
the girl had not been slow to notice, for
a quizzical little shadow of a smile hov
ered for an instant at the corners of her
pretty mouth. “Pray sit down,” she said,
as she vanished into on adjoining room,
leaving Ned Perry standing gazing after
her, spell bound.
He listened to the swish of her trailing
skirts through the dimly lighted room
beyond, through an invisible hallway,
and then to the quick pit-a-j>at of her
feet up some uucarpeted stairway. He
heard her moving quickly, lightly, along
the corridor of the upper story until the
footfalls were lost at the rear of the
house, then a distant tap upon a door
way, and a soft voice, barely audible,
calling, “Papa.” He heard her speak
again, as though in response to inquiry
from within; he heard her raise her
voice, as though to repeat an answer to
a previous question, and this time her
words were distinct. “An officer from
the fort,” she announced; and then fill
lowed sensation.
He heard a door quickly opened; he
heard men’s voices in low, eager, excited
talk; he heard her sweet tones once
more, as thobgh in expostulation, saying
something about the sergeant, lost or
wounded, and they were merely inquir
ing for him; he heard a stern, harsh in
junction of “Silence! that will do!” some
quick, hurrying footsteps, a man’s spur
red boots descending some staircase at
the back of the house, a colloquy aloft
in fainter tones, and then—closing doort
and silence.
He waited five—ten minutes, and still
no one came; but the murmur of voices
in subdued but earnest controversy was
again audible on the second floor, and
at last a door was opened and he heard
the same stern tones that had command
ed her silence before, and this time they
said:
“That is entirely my affair! 1 will
see the gentleman myself, and let him
know my opinion of this impudent and
—and—burglarious intrusion.”
“WhewH whistled Mr. Perry to him
self at sound of these menacing words.
“This is bearding the lion in his den
with a vengeance! Now trot out your
‘Douglas in his hall,’ and let’s see what
it all means. I’ve seen the girl, anyhow,
and he can’t take that back, even if he
turns me out”
He heard a heavy step, accented by
the sharp, energetic prodding of a cane;
it came slowly along the hall, slowly
and majestically down the stairs, slowly
into the lower front room, and presently
there loomed forth from the darkness
into the broad glare of the astrals at the
hanging portieres the figure of a tall,
gray haired, spectacled, alimly built and
fragile looking Englishman, erect as
pride and high spirit could bold
a man against the ravages of
age and rheumatism; sharp, stern
and imperious of mood, as every glance
and every feature plainly told; vehement
and passionate, unless twitching lips and
frowning brows and angry, snapping
eyes belied him; a man who had suffered
much, unless the deep lines and shadows
under eyes and mouth meant nothing
but advancing years; a man who entered
full of wrath and resentment at this in
varion of his privacy—this forcing of hiz
guarded lines; and yet—a gentleman
Ned Perry’s instincts were all of
little worth.
The young soldier had been standing
by a center table, coolly scanning the
pictures on the walls, and determiping
to present a rather exaggerated picture
of nowdisbDOe as reward for the hostile
laagtage of the proprietor of Dunraven.
He expected to beer m outburst of to-
vectira whan that gentfcmsn reached the
room; but no sooner had he passed ths
portion than he halted short, and Mr.
Kray, flaming suddenly, was amazed at

“Does your colonel take ns for ban
ditti liere, and ascribe your desertions
and accidents to our machinations?"
“Far from it, sir, but rather aa a hos
pitable refuge to which the injured man
liad been conveyed," answered Perry,
with a quiet smile, determined to thaw
the liauteur of Dunraven’s lord if cour
tesy of manner could effect it.
“He is utterly mistaken, then," an
swered the Englishman, “and I resent—
I resent, sir, this forcing of my gates
after the explicit understanding we had
last year. As a soldier I presume you
had to obey your orders; but I beg you
to tell your colonel that his order was aa

1 has passed between us."
“Nothing has passed between you,
1 Mr. Maitland," answered Perry, a little
tartly now. “We have reached Fort
Rossiter only within the last fortnight,
and know nothing whatever of your
understandings with previous command
ers. Permit me to ask you one question
and I will retire. Have you heard any
thing of our sergeant?”
“Nothing, sir. I would hardly be apt to
hear, for my people here are enjoined to
keep strictly to our limits, and all we
ask of our neighbors is that they keep to
theirs. 1 presume you have destroyed
my fences, sir, in order to effect an en
trance."
“Upon my word, Mr. Maitland, you
make me rather regret that I did not;
but I had the decency to respect what I
had happened to hear of your wishes,
and so left my horse and my men out
side and footed it a good half mile in the
dark"
“Ah! that sounds very like it!” replied
Mr. Maitland, with writhing Ups, for at
this moment there came the dull thun
der of rapidly advancing hoof beats, and
before either man could speak again
three troopers with a led horse—all four
steeds panting from their half mile race
—reined up in front of the eastern por
tico in the full glare of, the lights, and
the sergeant’s voice was heard eagerly
hailing his lieutenant
“My luck again!” groaned Perry. “I
told them tn count in half an hour if they
didn't hoar from me, and of course they
came.”

A PMIonoplier Relates an Instance of Their
* Wonderful Self Control.
“It is not along the broader lines of so
cial life alone that we can trace race char
acteristics and distinctions,” said a seedy
looking individual in front of a Chestnut
street hotel, buttoning up a well worn fall
overcoat closely to his throat so as to con
ceal the still more worn summer coat be
neath, and drawing on, with careless fas
tidiousness, a pair of kid gloves that were
badly in need of repair. His general
appearance was that of a broken down
sporting man or a word politician who
had been subsisting for many months on
the expectations of an appointment when
the civil service law is repealed; his air
was that of a millionaire just sauntering
out after having enjoyed a sumptuous
dinner, but, according to his own state
ment, he was neither.
“I am a student of social science,” he
said, “and nothing delights me more than
to study national peculiarities and char
acteristics as tliey are revealed in the
trivial occurrences of every day life.
“To illustrate, I went into a Ninth
street Chinese laundry the otlier evening.
The heathen had neglected to send my
linen home. That, however, did not
strike me as a race peculiarity; it is rather
a class characteristic common to all laun
drymen.no matter what their nationality.
But something occurred while I waited
that did strike me.
“It was just about dusk. The streets
were crowded with people going home
from work, and in the room half a dozen
Chinamen were busy ironing at different
tables. A coal oil lamp that hung in the
bulk window had just been lighted. A
good deal of oil had been spilled on the
outside of the bowl in filling it, and sud
denly this Sought fire and blazed up, not
only endangering the red curtains draped
about the window, but threatening to
cause an explosion of the lamp.
“A Chinaman on the far side of the
room saw the flames and uttered a single
exclamation to call the attention of the
others. That was the only sound made
by any of the Celestials, and none of them
left their work except one nimble little
fellow, who jumped lightly and quickly
into the window.
“But the flames had been seen from
the street, and instantly the room was
filled with passers by, who rushed madly
in, each one shouting directions at the
top of his voice.
“ ‘Throw the lamp into the streetf
‘Dash water upon it!' ‘Run for a police
man!' ‘Strike the fire alarm!’ they cried,
and one excited individual yelled; ‘Take
a club and smash it to pieces!*
“Meanwhile the little Chinaman in the
window had quickly seized a large, damp
cloth from his table, and while his fellow
countrymen looked calmly on amid all
the confusion and hubbub he wrapped
it around the burning lamp and held it
there till the flames were completely
smothered. Then he quietly returned to
his work without stopping for a moment
to discuss the occurrence, but it was
several minutes before the excitement
died out among the Caucasians who had
crowded in and they were ready to de
part
“Now this difference of behavior in
the face of danger and amid exciting
circumstances does certainly indicate a
fundamental and characteristic differ
ence between the oriental and the occi
dental races. You may say that the
conduct of the Chinamen resulted merely
from oriental apathy, or you may attrib
ute it to the fatalistic habits of thought
engendered by eastern religions, or you
may say that the occurrence furnished
a confirmation of Herbert Spencer’s
theory that hurry and overwork have
resulted in a condition of nervous insta
bility among all the races of the west
But whatever you attribute it to, I toll
you the Chinaman's method of action is
the best when you have to deal with a
coal oil lamp that is about exploding.
