O USE the expression of
Mr. Dana, “Ned Perry
seemed off hi* feed" for
hV a day or two. The bunt
\Y had been pronounced a
big success, despite the fact of Perry's
defection—lie hail not oven joined them
at luncheon—and it was agreed that it
should be repeated the first bright day
after muster. That ceremony came ofl
on Monday with due poinpund formality
and much rigidity of inspection on the
part of the pest commander. It was
watched with interest by the ladies, and
Mrs. Belknap even proposed tiiat when
the barracks and kitchens were being
visited they should go along. Dana had
been her devotee ever since the day of
the hunt, and announced Ilia willingness
to carry her suggestion to tho colonel,
but Belknap declined. She wanted a few
words with Perry, and did not know
how to effect her purpose.. When he
stopped and spoke' to her after parade on
Saturday qvening and would liave made
peace, she thought to complete her ap
parent conquest by a show of womanly
displeasure at his conduct, and an as
surance that,, thanks to Mr. Dana, the
day had been delightful and his failure
to accompany her had been of no conse
quence at til The utterly unexpected
way in which he took it was simply n
“stunner” to the little lady.
So for from being piqued and jealous
and huffy, as she expected, Mr. Perry
justified the oft expressed opinion of her
sisterhood to tho effect that “men were
simply past all . comprehension” by
brightening up instantly and expressing
such relief at her infortnation that for a
moment ahe was too dazed to speak. By
that time he had pleasantly said good
night and vanished; nor had bo been
near her since, except to bow and look
pleased when she walked by with Dana.
She never thought of him as an actor
before, but this, said Mrs. Belknap to
herself, looks like consummate acting.
Had she known of or even suspected the
existencoof a woman who had interposed
and cost her into the shade the explana-1
tion would have oocurred to her at once,
but that there was a goddess in the shape
of Gladys Maitland within a day's ride
of Rossiter she never dreamed for an in
stant. Believing that no other woman
could have unseated her, Mrs. Belknap
simply could not account for such utter,
such unutterable, complacency on ths
part of her lately favored admirer in his
virtual dismissal All Sunday and Mon
day she looked for signs of sulking or
surrender, but looked In vain.
Perry seemed unusually grave and
silent, was Parke's report of the situa
tion; but whatever comfort she might
havedcrived from that knowledge was ut
terly destroyed by the way he brightened
up and looked pleased whenever they
chanced to meet. Monday evening he
stopped to speak with her on the walk,
holding eut his !u 1 and fairly beaming
upon her; sheicil) eceived these demon
strations, but faile i to chill them or him.
Then she essayed to make him suffer the
pangs of the jilted by clinging to Dana’s
arm and smiling up in Dana’s face, and
then she: suddenly started: “Oh, Mr.
Dana! How could I have been so thought
less—and this is your wounded aider
Dana protested that her slight weight
was soothing balm, not additional pain,
and Perry promptly asseverated that it
he were Dana he would beg her not to
quit his arm, and her eyes looked scorn
at him as she said, “How can you know
anything about It, Hr. Perry? You’ve
never been in action or got a scratch,
while Mr. Dana”—and now the dark
eyes spoke volumes as they looked np
into those of her escort—“Mr. Dana is
one of the heroes of the fighting days of
the regiment ” Even that failed to crush
him. while it had the effect of making
Dana fed mawkish and absurd. Perry
frankly responded that he only won
dered the women ever could find time to
show any civility whatever to fellows
like him, wlier there were so many who
“hod records.” She was completely at a
loss- to fathom him, and when tattoo
came on Monday night, and they were
ail discussing the project of a run with
•lie hounds for the coming morrow—a
May day‘celebration on new principles—
Mrs. Belknap resolved upon a change of
tactics.
Dana was officei of tho guard and over
at the guard house, but nearly all the
other officers were chatting abcut the
veranda and the gate of the odonel’s
quarters. Thither had Capt Belknap
wife, and she waa,
v of an interested
escorted his

roll call to
were grouped under the hanging lamps
and absorbed in looking over one an
other's shoulders at tiro famous albums;
then, beckoning to him to follow, she
flitted, like some eerie sprite, on tiptoe
to the southern em! of the veranda,
where clustering vinca hid her from
view from the walk along the parade.
Perry began to feel queer, as he after
wards expressed it, but he stalked along
after her, declining to modulate the :
thunder of his heavy heels upon the re
sounding gallery. Kho put her finger to
her lips, and, after a nervous glance
around, looked at him warnrngly, Im>-
Sbechingly,
“What on earth’s tho matter?" was all
the perplexed and callow youth could
find to say, and in a tohe so utterly de
void of romance, sentiment, tenderness
—anything slro warned to hear—that in
ail her experience—and she had had not
ft little—pretty, bewitching little Mrs.
Belknap could recall nothing so humil
iating.
“How can you U» s;» unkind to me?"
at last she whispered, in the tragic
tremolo she well knew to lie effective; it
had done execution over and again. But
big, handsome Neil Perry looked only
like one in a maze; then he bent over
her in genuine concern:
“Why, Mrs. Belknap! What has hap
pened? What has gone wrong? What
do you mean by unkindness?"
She faced him, indignantly now: “It
It possible you profess not to know?”
“By all that's holy, Mrs. Belknap, 1
haven’t an idea of what you mean to
charge me with. Tell me, and I’ll make
every amend I know how.”
He was bending over her in genuine
distress and trouble; he had uo thought
but to assure her of his innocence of any
conscious wrong. Slro was leaning upon
the balcony rail, and he rested one strong
hand upon the post at the shaded corner,
above her head, as ho bowed his own to
catch her reply.
For a moment she turned her face
away, her bosom heaving, her little
hands clasping nervously, tho picture of |
wronged and sorrowing womanhood.
His blunt, ragged honesty was some
thing she had never yet had to deal with.
This indeed was “game worth the
candle,” bat something of a higher order
than the threadbare flirtations she bad
found so palatable heretofore. She had
expected him to be revealed by this time
as the admirer who had only been play
ing a part in Ids apparent acceptance of 1
the situation of the lost two days; site
expected to be accused of coquetting
with Dana, of neglect, coldness, insult
towards himself; and this she would
have welcomed; it would have shown
him still a victim in her toils, a mouse
sho might toy and play with indefinitely ;
before bestowing the final coup de grace.
But instead of it, or anything like it,
here stood the tall, handsome young fel
low, utterly ignoring the possibility of
her having wronged him, and only beg
ging to be told how he had affronted her,
that lie might make immediate amends,
it was simply exasperating. She turned
suddenly upon him, hiding her face in
her hands, alnu.it sobbing:
“And I thought wo were such—such
friends!"
Even that suggestive tentative did not
lay him prostrate. Fancy the utter in
adequacy of his response:
“Why, so did 11” This was too much. 1
Down came the hands, and were laid in
frantic appeal upon his breast He did
r«t Iwr the way; she could have slipped
from the corner without difficulty, but
the ot tier method was more dramatic.
“Let me go, Mr, Perry, M she pleaded. ,
•1—I might have known; I might have >
known.” The accents were stifled, heart
rending.
“Don’t go yet, Mrs. Belknap; don’t go
without telling me what-^what Pve
done.” And poor Ned imploringly seized
the little hands in both his and held them
light “Please tell me," he pleaded.
“No. nol Yon would not understand; |
you do not see what 1 have to bear. Let
me go, I beg, please; I cannot stay.”
And her great «lark eyes, swimming in
tears, were raised to his face* while with
faint—very faint—strugglee ahe strove i
to pull her hands away, relenting in her
purpose to go the moment she felt that
he was relaxing the hold in which they
were clasped, but suddenly wrenching
them from his breast and darting from
his side, leaving Perry in much bewil
derment to face about and confront the
doctor.
A little opening had been deft in the
railing at tho south and of the veranda— i
the same through which the poet surgeon i
had passed the night Mrs. Lawrence had
shown to Perry the answering signal .
light; it was tho doctor’s “short cut" be- ;
tween the colonel’s quarters and his own <
side door, and soft, unbetraying turf lay
there lietween. Absorbed in her melo
drama, Mrs. Belknap had failed to note
the coming of the intruder; absorbed in
his own stupefaction and his fair part
ner’s apparent depth of woe, Ned Perry
beard nothing but her soft words and
softer sighs, until a deep voice at his
shoulder—a voice whose accent betrayed
no apology—gave utterance to this un
compromising sentiment:
. “Mrs. Belknap, this is the thirtieth—
not the first—of April. ”
“And what has tha’. to do with your
sudden appearance, Dr. Quin?" an
swered the lady, with smiling lips but
flashing eyes. She rallied from the shock
of sudden volley like the veteran she
was, and took the brunt of tiro fight on
her own white, gleaming shoulders,
needing no aid from the young fellow
who stood there, flushed, annoyed, yet
too perturbed to say a word even had
there been a chance to get in one edge
wise. Blunt as he was, he could not but
realise the awkwardneesof the situation.
And to been misjudged by snob a man as
Dr. Quint All this was flashing through
his mind as tha doctor answered:
“Nothing with my appearance, Mrs.
Belknap; it was yours I remarked upon.
You seemed to think it All Fools’ day.”
“Far froqgU, doctor, when I thought
you milee away.”
“Well, well. Mrs. Belknap.’

“One moment. Dr. Quin." said Perry
springing forward. “You have seen tit
to make commenta and Insinuations that
liave annoyed Mrs. Belknap at a time
when slro was under my escort"
“Oh, Mr. Perry, no! no!" exclaimed
Mrs. Belknap, laying Iter liand on his
arm. “Not a word of that kind, I im
plore! Hush! here comes my husband."
“AJi, Belknap," said the doctor
blandly, as the big captain came hur
riedly forth with searching glance along
the dork gallery, “Iron* you find me, as
usual, trying to be devoted to Mr* B
whenever I can get you out of tiro way
Why the jeuce can't you stay?”
“Oh, it’s you, is it, doctor? 1 ' answered
the captain in tones of evident relief.
“It is far too chilly for this young
woman to be sitting here without a
wrap, is it not? Come inside, Dolly
Come, doctor. Halloo! what's that?”
A cavalry trumpeter came springing
through the gate and up on the veranda
“Is Capt. Stryker here?" he panted.
“No. What’s tho matter?” demanded
Perry.
“Trouble at the stables, sir. Sergt.
GWynne’s assaulted again.”
Perry sprang from the veranda and
went tearing across tiro dark level of the
parade as fast as active legs could carry
1dm, leaving the doctor far behind. As 1
he passed the company quarters lie noted
.tiiat several men were leaping from their
broad galleries, some just pulling on s
blouse, others in their shirt sleeves, but
all hastening towards the stables, where i
dim lights could be seeu flitting about
like wiil-o'-tlro-wisps. One of these
troopers came bounding to his side and ,
would have passed him in tiro race. He
recognized the athletic form even in the
darkness and liailed him:
“That you, Sergt. Leary? What's gone
wrong?"
“It's thim blackguards froc.;
sir. Who else could it beT
“Those people at the ranch?"
“The very ones, sir. No one else would
harm Sergt. GWynne. Sure we ought
to liave wound ’em up tiro one night we
iiad a chance, sir."
Breathless, almost, they reached the
stables. Tiro horses were all snorting and
plunging about in their stalls, showing
every indication of excitement and
alarm. From the stables of tiro adjoin
ing companies oilier men had come with
lanterns, and a group of perhaps Itaif a j
dozen troopers was gatirored about the
form of a cavalry sergeant who was seat
ed, limp and exliausted, at tiro western
doorway. One soldier was bathing Ids
face with a sponge; the first sergeant of 1
the troop was (lending over and trying
to feel the pulse
“Stand back, you meur he said, an
tboritatively, as lie caught sight of the
lieutenant’s shoulder straps. “Leave a
iautern here. Now, GWynne, here’s
Lieut. Perry Can you tell him wlm it
was?"
Owynne feebly strove to rise, but Perry
checked him.
“Sit down! The doctor Is coming;
don't attempt to move,” panted the young
officer. “Tell me what you know about
it. Sergt. Hosmer.'
“Nothing but this, sir. I was in the
office when Trumpeter Petersen ran in
and Kuid they were killing Sergt. Gwynne.
1 l sent him for the captain and grabbed
my revolver and ran here as bard as 1
could. He was lying just outside the
door when I got here, and not another
soul in sight Sergt Rees, ef F troop,
and Sergt Fagan, of B» caiae with their I
lanterns from the stabiae next doer; but 1
they I tad not eves heard tiro trouble.”
“Where wax tha Mable guard?"
•Inside, sir. and ha’s there now. He
heard the acuffie, he says, and ran to
give the alarm and to protect the ser
geant but the men scattered when he
came, and lie saw none of them.”
"Toll him to come hero. Let eome of
tltese men go in and qniet tiro hones.
The captain will be here in a minute,
and he will want to see that stableman.
Who is it?"
•Kelly, sir.”
By tiiis time Dr. Quin came lumber
ing heavily up the stops to the stable
door Hie manner wee very quiet and j
very grave as lie bent over the injured
man and carefully studied his face by
the light of tiro sergeant's lamp. The
doctor *pokegently:
“You know me, sergeant?—Dr. Quin.
Can you tell me what struck you? Are
you hnrt elsewhere than in the head?"
Gwynne made no reply for a moment,
then faintly answered:
“Stunned, mainly, and one or two
kicks after 1 was knocked down.”
Then came a deeper voice, quiet but
authoritative, and the group that had
begun to close in again about the doctor
and his patient fell back as Capt. Stryker
strode into their midst ✓
“Sergt Hosmer, send all these men of
the troop back to their quarters at once,
and permit no more to come out Is he
much hurt, doctor?”
“Somewhat stunned, he says. I've
made no examination yet.”
Tiro captain looked about him. Ex
cept one sergeant bolding a lantern, the
other troopers, obedient to his order,
were slowly fading back into the dark
ness on their way to the barracks. Only
the doctor, Mr. Perry, and the sergeant
remained by the side of the injured
man. Then came the question:
‘•Whodid this, Owynne?”
No answer. A deeper shade of pain
and trouble seemed to pass over the
wrgeanfs face. He made an effort to
speak, hesitated, and at last replied:
“I cannot say, air.”
■•You know, do you notT
Again pained silence and embarrass-
ment At last the sergeant leaned slow
ly forward and spoke:
“Captain, the men were masked, the
voices disguised. I could not see the
drees in the darkness. I was struck on
the head almost the instant I got outside
the door, and it would be tapomible for
me to identify one ot them.”
"t)o you think it was the same gang
yon had the trouble with at Dunravsn?”
“I—could not my, air.”
“De you suspect any of our own men?”
“I—would not my that, sir.”
•Where la the stable guard?” asked
Stryker. “Send him here.”
And presently Trooper Kelly—a wiry
Mttle Irishman, with a twinkling eye and
‘ mingled devilment and
forth
“No, sir; lie was in his room beyant—
up there by the forage.”
“That’s a long distance from this door,
Kelly; and if lie could hear it in his
room you could hear it farther away."
“I wasn’t farther away thin, sir; I was
dowji here when they axed for him.”
"Then why didn’t you open the door
and see who was making such a racket,
shouting for Sergt Gwynne after Ups?"
“Sure tliey didn’t shoot at all at all,
sir; they axed for him quiet and re
spectable like, an’ I wint and told him."
“Ah, yes, I see. And then, having
told him, you went away to the far end
of tiro stable. ”
“Yis, sir, just so, sir; an' the moment
I lieard the scrimmidge, sir, I ran as
liard as I could.”
“Of course you considered it was none
of your business what people might want
with the stable sergeant at night"
“No, sir. If he wanted me he had a
right to tell me to oomo.”
“We differ on that point, Kelly. Re
lieve him, Sergt Hosmer.”
On the following morning CoL Brain-
ard was surprised to note in Capt Stry
ker's column of remarks explanatory of
the alterations from the status of the
previous day:
. “Sergt Gwynne from daily duty as
steble sergeant to sick in hospiUl; Sergt
Leary from duty to arrest, and Private
Kefir from dutv to confinement”
