B«f was present at sick call, and imperturbable os ever, on the following morning, and the few officers who were at headquarters after guard mounting were able to affirm that the colonel had been courteous us usual in his greeting to the medical officer, and that nothing whatever had been said about hia being away so late tho previ ous evening. Capt. Stryker qamo home soon after midnight, had a brief talk with ids colonel, and went over to the stables to inquire into Gwynne’s condi tion before be went to Led. Parke came' into Perry's room after morning stables, and told him, as lie was yawning and stretching in bed, that the captain had had quite a long talk with Gwynne that j lie had received under that lion, and bad not betn slow to , and read than,. It anything, th. cG upon his forehead seemed to deepen at ] right'bf It. ~ - - — - He picked it up, looked im patiently at the address, hesitated a mo ment, tossed it back on his desk and went into the inner room. He would not read it now; it was almost parade time; he had to bathe and change his dress, for after parade he was to dine at the quarters of an infantry friend, and Capt. and Mrs. Lawrence were tobt jf the party. A) ready it was noted that when any of the few infantry people at the post gave a little tea or dinner at which only eight or ten were gathered together, the Bel- knaps were hot invited on the same even ing with Mr. Perry, and vice versa. When Parke came in, whistling and ringing and banging doors and making all man ner of uncouth noise in the exuberance of his spirits, he bolted into Perry’s do main, as was his wont, and begin a rat tling comment on the events of the day. “By the way,” he broke in, suddenly, we cau't both go to-morrow; and I sup- morning and that “something was up ; M aat to... —he didn’t know wliat.

Bt0r7 ' thercTshonid bs a run this very week. of his ad venture at Dunraven, beginning with his instructions to the men he left, at the gate, and ending with old Mait land’s swooning; and about an hour after be had finished he saw the adjutant with a small escort ride away down the valley, and rightly conjectured that the colonel had sent a letter to Dunraven inquiring into the cause of the assaults on two members of bia command. Battalion drill kept him occupied all the morning; a garrison court convened at noon and sat until skirmish drill began at 8 p. m.; and so it happened that not until near parade did he find a moment’s time to All the fleet hounds of the cavalry bat- talk* were to be out, and all the officers who could be spared from the day’s du ties; a detachment was to go over into the valley 6t a stream some ten miles away, pitch tents in the shade, and there set luncheon for the entire party; horses were to be provided ■'for all the ladies who cared to go mounted, buggies and “buckboards” were to convey the others, and it was to be a gala occasion. Ante- lop*, coyote or jack rabbit—any four footed game tho prairie afforded—waste be “coursed” in due state and ceremony; the ladies “in at tho death” were to be himself. He longed to see Mrs. Law- crownet j an( j 8u bsequently presented rence and question her as to de nature ^ witU ttopbie3 of the chase more sightly of the “Dunraven stories” she had men*' * tioned; for what had been a matter of indifference to him then had suddenly become of vivid interest There were ladies sitting on the Lawrences’ gallery, ho could plainly see, as the cavalry offi cers came tramping in from afternoon stables, but he could not hope to ask or kear anything about a matter so near bis heart in tho presence of so many sympathetic and interested listeners. He kept away towards his own gate, there fore, until lie saw that there, leaning o® the gate post, and apparently awaiting him, stood Dr. Quin. Perry would gladly have avoided the doctor, the antagonism he was beginning to fe«l for him was of a character that would hardly brook concealment. Cor dial and joyous in manner .as he was to almost every man, woman and child he met, it was all the more noticeable that I to the very few whom he held in dislike [or distrust his bearing was cold and re- ellent in the last degree. Something old him the doctor was there to speak > him about their chance' meeting at aven. He did not want to speak to i at all, just now. Yet how could he hope to have these matters explained without a meeting and a talk? While the officers strolled over and stopped, most of them, in front of the group of ladies at Lawrence’s, Perry stalked straight across the parade and the boun dary road, with his blue eyes fixed on the doctor’s face. The latter was studying him as he came, and doubtless read that expression of coldness and distrait; possibly be fe lted it. At all events, something prompted him to speak in a tone less ordial than he had star employed to wards Perry—“a youngster whom I thoroughly approve of,” as he said be fore he had known him a week. Still leaning on the gate post, and resting his ’head on his hand, the doctor began: ‘Mr. Perry, I have been to see you twice today, bat could not'find you, and I wanted to speak with you on a matter ~ some importance.” “You could have found me on drill or [the court, if anything immediate uraa : needed. I have been nowhere else, ex- ept to stables,” said Perry, shortly. ‘It ■'was a personal matter—a some- rb&t embarrassing one—and I thought ; to see you alone.” “Well, here I am, Dr. Quin; drive head and let us have it” *1 wanted to ask you if, while you were at the ranch last bight, you saw ay thing of a large signet ring, with a crest and motto engraved on the stone.” “I did not, unless you mean the one ir. Maitland wore.” “The very one! You noticed that, did rour “I noticed he had something of the ad on his left hand when he came ‘And it was nowhere to be found after pou went away. You pou were chafing and ad I thought you might have ily removed it at that time.” “The reflection is not a pleasant Quin.” said Perry, with an a light in the blue F ltu than the mask or brush au nature!. The affair had been gayly talked over that very evening of the colonel’s dinner, but the events of the previous day and the perplexities of the one just closing had completely driven it aliout of his head. And yet lie was engaged to ride with Mrs. Belknap, the amazon of Fort Rossi- terl And for tho first time in his life Ned Perry would have been glad of an excuse to get away from a gallop with an accomplished equestrienne. “You don’t mean to say you had for gotten itT’ asked Parke, in amaze. “Don’t blow on me, there’s a good fellow; but, after all my ‘breaks’ of yes terday-getting an absent from drill and into a row at the ranch—I declare it had slipped my memory. No, you go, Parke; I don’t deser Vo to be lot off any- ir.ing, after yesterday. You’ve been sticking to duty like a brick ever since j’ou joined, and Stryker ought to give you the preference.” “But you’rfc engaged to ride with Mrs. Belknap,” said Parke. “Who tejd -ycu sp?” “I heard Iter Say so. Dana asked if he might have the pleasure, just a while ago, and she smilingly replied that it would liave been delightful, but that you had asked her four days ago, when it was first planned.” “So I had; but I’ve been getting into scrapes ever since, and I oughtn’t to go. By Jove! I’ll write her a note now and say I can’t get off. It’s true enough. I wouldn’t let such a fellow go if I com manded the troop. Pd make him stay hi and attend roll call a week.” “Well, Mrs. Belknap expects you,” said Parke, dubiously. “Not but what Dana would bo glnd to take your place. Belknap can’t go; he’s too bulky to ride, and she’d leave him miles astern first run we had, sure.” Suddenly Perry bethought him of the note^and made a dive into the sitting room, towel In hand and shirt sleeves rolled to tho elbows.* It rood: Mon Ahi—You go the Spragues' to dine this evening, and there will be cards, and you will not be able to get away until very lata. Will you not come In a little while before parade—without fail? There is something I greatly want to see you about Sincerely, F. E. B. Come early as possible after stable* “Thunder and turf 1” exclaimed Perry; “and there goes first call nowl Here, Parke, you’re dressed; run over and tell Mrs. Belknap I just this instant read her note and I can’t come; I’ll get a late as It is.” “How can I, man?" shouted Parke, as be fled. ’Tvo got to get into War paint too. Lucky thing for me,” he added, in lower tone. “I don’t want to be the one to tell the prettiest woman at Rossiter that her note that she sent here at noon wasn’t opened until first call for parade.” Perry’s dressing was completed at rac ing speed, but even then he was buck ling his sabes belt as the assembly sound ed, and he had to go straight across to where his troop was forming—a glitter ing rank of yellow plumes—and so could Only give a harried sidelong glance to- ‘ ~ " s quarters. There was her up and down tho well he would one spoko at first; but presently a deep voiced troop commander gave vent to his emotions: * “What a bombastic old crank! Who is he?" “An Englishman—tho owner of the biggest ranch in this part of Texas,” an swered tho colonel. “Capt. Belknap, Capt. Lawrence, have you any knowl edge of the agreement of which he speaks?” “Nothing beyond the vague talk we heard. Dr. Quin would be more apt to know what Col. Stratton agreed to than wo would,” answered Belknap. “I will ask the doctor this evening. Meantime, knowing no reason why such a policy of non-intercourse should be ob served. 1 shall not recognize it. What is more, while you will caution your men to respect Dunraven bounds as they would other private property, let them show no hostility to the ranch people who may have occasion to visit us. The man who brought this note tells me he was threatened and abused by some cav alrymen near the stables. Mr. Maitland professes to have no knowledge of an other assault, but we have evidence that Sergt. Gwynne was beaten by three fel lows on the Dunraven grounds yesterday. That matter is* yet to be settled. Now one thiug more: Troop and company commanders will closely watch their men tho next few nights; keep a sharp lookout on the quarters until midnight, to see that no men slip away; after mid night the guard must attend to it. There is au element in the ranks that would be only too glad to go down to Dunraven some night and have satisfaction on their own account for yesterday’s affairs. This must not be permitted. See to it, gentlemen. That is all for the present. Mr. Perry, will you come with me a mo ment?” Perry went. Mrs. Belknap saw him go and believed herself slighted. (To be continued.) tion in the report of my speech made last Thursday in the Con- j vention. Your Reporter makes me say : “If you ask me to lead this fight j vou call upon me to lead a for lorn hope ; but you will have at your head the only man who has | the brain, the nerve and the abil-1 ity to organize the common peo- j pie against the aristocracy.” Now, the accoustic proper- tips of the hall of Representa tives are known to be abomina ble, and I will not charge inten tional misrepresentation, but 1 distinctly said : “If you ask me to lead this fight you call on me to lead a forlorn nope, and if I am the only man who has the the brain,” etc. Nearly all the sins in the dec alogue have been laid at my door, but no one has ever accused me of being a fool; and to have spoken as I am made to do by your Reporter would convict me of egotism so arrant and disgust ing as to leave no doubt that I have gone mad and lost my senses. I have not seen the full report of my speech in the News and Courier, and there may be oth er inaccuracies that will require correction. But if the warfare thus early begun is to be along this same old line, I shall ask the people to reserve their judg ment till I am heard on the stump, and I will ignore such underhanded and unfair meth ods altogether. .

If others are no bti-lcr informed than we are as to who will likely be can didates, it would be hard to an swer. If we were to speak now on the subject, we would say that we have no particular man in view. We will reserve the right to vote for the best man. But there are two varieties of men that we do not expect, un der any circumstances, to sup port for any office, namely : 1st. Those who seek to smirch the respectability and decency of the St^te. 2nd. Those who appeal to class prejudice. No man is fit to be Governor of the whole people who makes war on any part of the people, and no man who seeks to destroy the good name of the gentlemen , who have been entrusted with j high official position, is worthy 1 to be elevated to the seats of: those whom he traduces.
