T WAS Vtxy late that night —nearly midnight—when the colonel, seated on his veranda and smoking a cigaf, caught eight of a cavalry sergeant hurriedly passing his front gate. The main searching parties iiad long since come home, unsuccessful; Lieut. Perry had returned and made re port that the people at Dunraven denied having seen or heard anything of Gwynne, that both proprietor and mana ger had treated his visit as an affront, and that he had had much difficulty in preventing a fracas between his men and a gang of rough fellows employed at the ranch, that. Mr. Maitland had fallen back in a swoon, and that lie had left him to the care of Dr. Quin, wlto ar rived soon after the occurrence. The colonel had been greatly interested and somewhat excited over the details of Perry’s adventure as that youhg gentle man finally gave them, for at first lie was apparently averse to saying much about it Little by little, however, all his conversation with Maitland and Ewen was drawn out, and the particulars of his hostile reception. The colonel agreed with him that there was grave reason te suspect some of the ranch people of knowing far more of Sergt Gwynne's disappearance than they would tell; and finally, seeing Perry’s indisposition to talk further, and noting his preoccupa tion and apparent depression of spirits, he concluded that between fatigue and rasped nerves the young fellow would be glad to go to bed, so he said, kindly: “Well, I won’t keep you. Perry, you’re tired out I’ll sit up and see the doctor when he gets back and have a talk with him, then decide what steps we will take in the morning. I’ll send a party down the valley at daybreak, anyway. May I I offer jon some whisky or a bottle of “Thank you, colonel, I believe not to night A beth and a nap will set me all right, and IT1 be ready £> start out first thing in the morning. Good night, sir.” But Cob Brainard could not go to sleep. The garrison had “turned in,” all except the guard and Capt Stryker. That officer had returned an hour after dark, and, getting a fresh horse, had started out going down the south side of [the Monee to search the timber with lanterns, the Cheyenne scouts having epeited that Gwynne’s horse had come that way. He had been missed by Perry, who galloped up the trail to the platoon before it reached the post, and the colonel, now that he had card was lieutenant's story, was impa- ently awaiting bis return. Up to with- n a few minutes of midnight, however, either Stryker nor the doctor bed come; im lights were bunting lb both their 1 uarters and at the guard house. Every- here else the garrison seemed shrouded in darkness. Catching sight of the yellow hevrons as they flitted through the flood >f light that poured from his open door way, the oolonel instantly divined that this must be a sergeant of Stryker’s troop going in search of hie captain, and promptly hailed him: “What is it, sergekatf Any newsT » l “Yes, sir," answered the soldier,Aalt- short “Sergt Gwynne’s come back. I was going to the captain's to report" “How did he get back? Isn’t he in jured?" “He eaye he’s had a fall, Mr, and has been badly shaken up, but he walked in.” “Why, that’s singular! Did he se# none of the searching parties? ess none of their lights?” “I can’t make oat, sir. He’s a little queer—doesn’t went to talk, sir. Be asked if Us horse got in all right, end went and examined the scratches, and seemed troubled about them; but he doesn’t say anything." “Has be gone to the hospital?” “No, sir; he’ll sleep in his usual bunk the stables to-night He is only bruised and sore, he Bays. His face M cut and scratched and bound up in hie handkerchief.” “Very well,” mid the colonel, after a You tgke your horse and ride down the side of the vaUey aad find enne scouts. Capt TeU him the sergeant is bon Very well, sir." And the troop or perhaps their ladies did not like it be cause Quin wouldn't tell them anything about what he saw. At all events, he refused to talk on the subject at all, and allowed people to draw their own con clusions. ’ “He probably told his post com mander,” suggested Lieut. Faraham, who, as acting adjutant of the post and an aspirant for the adjutancy of the regiment, thought it a good opportunity of putting in a word as indicative of what he considered the bounden duty of an officer under like circumstances. .. . , . , , , ., . “Well, no, I fancy not.” replied Bel-!

The two affairs combined would bo more than they would stand. Tliere state are enough Irishmen here in our troop alone to go down and wipe that ranch •Whether there wfll be trouble or not will dejiond very much on the future conduct of the proprietor and manager hla nTn.ni.ii ~. i down there.

Strat ton would care to restrict his post sur geon from going thither if they needed hw professional services,” said CoL Brai nard, pleasantly. “That was the point at issue, appar ently,^ answered Belknap. “CoL Strat ton said that it was not on professional grounds that he went.and thereby seemed to widen tbe breach between them. Dr. Quin would not speak to the colonel after that, except when duty required it.” South Carolina Cliaiitauquans The minutes of the proceed ings of the second annual meet ing of the State Chautauqua Convention of South Carolina, | held at Spartanburg, Aug. 21st and 22nd, 1889, resently issued, give some interesting facts about the Chautauqua move ment in this State.

They’re not ail ruf- the 'the dark jess; wished CUpt 1 the day, • at hie I of bis i little more was said; but CoL Brainard oould not help thinking of a matter that he carefully kepi to himself. It was not his custom to require his officers to esk poi mission to leave the garrison tor a ride • or hunt when they were to be absent from no duty, and only by day. Here it was midnight; as-he thought it over, and the doctor had not returned, neither had he mentioned his tdeaire to ride away, although lie had been with the colonel well nigh an hour before parade. True, he had sent the doctor word to go and join Lient Perry at the gate of Dun raven, and that would account for his detention; but he knew that the surgeon ; was several miles away from his post and his patients at the moment that message was sent. Meantime, Perry, too, was having a communion with himself, and finding it ail vexation of spirit All the way home the memory of that sweet English Voce was uppermost in his thoughts. He iiad been startled at the sight of a young and fair woman at Dunraven; he had felt a sense of inexplicable rejoicing when she said to him, “I am Miss Mait land;” it would have jarred him to know that she was Wife; he was happy, kneel ing by the slue of the beautiful girl he had never seen before that evening,- and delighted that he could be of service to her. AH this was retrospect worth in dulging; but then arose the black shadow on ills vision. How came Dr. Quin striding in there as though “native and to the manner born?”—how came he to call her “Gladys?” Perry had been pondering over this matter for full half an hour oihtho homeward ride before he bethought him of Mira. Lawrence’s re marks about the signal lights. On* thing led to another in his recollection of her talk/ The doctor answered the sig nals, no one else; the doctor and no one .else was received at Dunraven; tbe doo- Hor had declined to answer any questions about the people at the numb; had been silent and mysterious, yet frequent in his vjsits. And then, more than aU, what was that Mrs. Lawrence said or in timated that Mrs. Quin, “such a lovely woman, too,” had taken her children and left him early that spring, and all on ac count of somebody or something con nected with Dunraven Ranch? Good heavens! It could not be “Gladys.’’ And yet Instead of taking a bath and going to bed, Mr. Perry poked his head into Parke’s bachelor chamber as he reached the little cottage they shared in common. No Gladys disturbed the junior’s dreams, apparently, for he was breathing regu larly, sleeping the sleep of the just; and so, finding no one to talk to and being in no mood to go to bed at an hour so com paratively early when he had so much to think about, Perry filled a pipe and perched himself in a big chair by the window scat, intending to think it all over again. He was beginning to hate that doctor; he would have chafed at the Idea of any bachelor’s bring before him in an acquaintance with Gladys Maitland, but a married man knowing her so well as to make hie wife jealous and himself £ te that iaot_4mowing her eo woman, and quit- i too much ► sore die- % impotent andrast- to the little In his quarien, aad^ began pacing and down, tbe glow from hie corncob ' wen glad to go be keeP'watch with flans down there, and the men who as saulted me will be fully punished.

He was here all day, and only went away at sunset. He joined me at Dunraven about 9 o’clock, and hadn’t returned when 1 came in. Did he find you and bring you back?” Gwynne hesitated painfully again: “The doctor saw me this evening- down near where I was hurt; but I got back hero without his help, sir. Lieu tenant,” said the soldier, suddenly, “there are »no or two things connected with this day’s work that I cannot telL Come what may, I must not speak of them, even to the captain.” Perry was silent a moment Then he kindly answered: “I do not think any one here will press you to tell what you consider it might be ungrateful or dishonorable in you to reveal. I will do what I can to see that your wishes are respected. And now, if you are sure I can do nothing for you, good night, sergeant. ” And tbe young officer held out hie hand. “Good night, sir," answered Gwynne. He hesitated one moment It was the first time since he entered the service, nearly five years before, that an officer offered him his hand. It was a new and strange sensation. It might not be “good discipline” to take advantage of it, but there were other reasons. Gwynne looked up in the frank blue eyes of his lieutenant and read something there that told a new story. Out came a hand as slender and shapely as that of the young officer, and the two were silently and firmly clasped. “How can I question him?” said Perry to himself as he walked slowly home ward. “Is there not something I am holding back?—something I cannot speak of?
