He t* silent, waiting for her reply He will not look at her, for her beanty dazzle*, almost drives him wild with passionate love and longing. He has worshiped her, adored her as loyal knight might worship his queen of love and beauty. Down in his heart of hearts her image has lived through every instant of the fierce campaign and reign* there now, rebel against it as he may Her silence daunt* him. If he had thought to pique or trap her into questioning, it was unworthy of his love and her Her little hands are clasping now. She has started, raised her head, is listening in tently. Absorbed only in her, in his love, in his wrongs, Brewster has lost all ear for the thrilling, martial music growing fainter and fainter down the street, bat the look in her sweet face startles him. Tbs color has fled. The dark eyes are dilating. One little hand is uplifted, as if to'ward off any other sonnd. Boms on the night wind the strains come full and rich upon the ear No wonder the girl is silenced, stunned Oh, for the clasping mother's arm* nowl Oh, for the love, the wordless sympathy that was hers that cflld, gray wintry morning when the battalion with its loved ones strode buoyantly away down the winding road at Pawnee! All the heart breaking sorrow, all the vague, throbbing, quivering pain, come back to her again aa now she leans breathless against the casement listening to the same sad, sweet, tearful old song: Love not. lor* not, fe haptens anna of elarl One instant only she stands trembling there, then a great sob surges op in her throat, and, burying her face in her hands, she bursts away, she runs she knows not whither. Ont into the de serted corridor, along the carpeted aisle she speeds. Then to her left, wide open, brightly lighted, she spies the elevator, and, with the leap of hnnted hare to its form, she springs within. Noonethere. Bbe tries to shut the sliding door, bnt now some one is there—Brewster—and his one arm is too strong for her two An instant more and he is with her. blessing the fates that had carried off the attendant for a surreptitious look at the departing regiment. With qnick de cision Curly pulls the starting rope, and when the car has glided softly upward just half way to the uezt floor checks its motion, then spring* to her side. Never till that instant had he known the full misery of a crippled and useless arm. "Winifred, sweet one, listen!” he cries seizing a slender wrist and strivtug to draw her hand away, as. sobbing, she crouches in the comer of the cage, while his brave young heart is thumping wilh a joy and exultation it never knew be fore. His blue eyes are aflame with love and gladness. “Listenl Don’t cry sol 1 must tell you.” B-r-r-r-ring! goes the confounded ele vator bell She springs to her feet, sti fling her sobs, conquering her womanly weakness. “Oh, do let me out!” she cVies dash ing away the tears. “I won't,” be answers, with such a joyous, teasing triumph in his deep tones. "Though a million men a min nte ring that bell. Til never let you go now—never. Yon cruel, wicked, heart less girl, you sent me away" “Oh, do let me ont, Mr. Brewsterf sherpleads. “Indeed you muat. |K r r-r-r-ring.| There’s that awfnl tieli again." "You sent me away," he calmly con tinues, while his eyes dance and glenni “utterly miserable because of yonr cold ness and constraint You knew I wor shiped the very ground yon stood upon You knew 1 loved you better than any thing in the wide world" (B-r-r-r-r r B-r-r-r-r-r-ring!) “1 mnst go," she pleads, struggling hard to free the hand he has clasped ••Oh, do, Mr. Brewster." “Yon shall; yon shall the very instant you have paid toll.

Do let me got” and she makes a frantic innge at the starting rope, bnt too late. His daring arm is around her now. He can use but one, and that has enfolded and drawn her cloee to his breast The clatter of the bell is deafening. “Oh, please," she murmurs, straggling in vain and glanc ing up in his glorified face. “Not until you say, ‘Yee, Carroll.' Now, qnick! Winifred, do yon love me, jnstalittler No answer. Head bowed again, and now on the only available resting place. (B-r r-r- B-r-r-r-r-r- B-r- r-r-r-ring!) “1 can't hear,” he laughs low and joyously, and the blond head bows until the curling mustache is sweeping her flushed and tear wet cheek. “Did you speak, Miss Berrien?” “Yes, Carroll." A mere whisper. “Louder, please, Miss Berrien.” Oh, what eloquence there is in that one clasping arm! “Oh, please, let me go! Yee, yes! yes!—if I mnst" And then the bell rattles madly, bnt unavailingly, and for the instant neither hears. Pot the in stant she can speak no more, for the soft, red lips are sealed. Two minutes later, as that brightly lighted car glides down and comes to a stop at the parlor floor, a flushed and wrathful youth confronts the tail cav alryman who calmly stepe forth os though on air and holds out a warning hand. “Young man, if ever 1 hear of yon i Ueuly aware that she has disappeared and returned to the interior, also that I Curly Brewster, waving a brown tele graph envelope over bis head, ha* shoul dered his way into the crowd and is making for the car. “Wants another goodby word, 1 suppose,” growl* Bidge- way to himself, in deep disgust, yet I comforted with the thought that the train will be off in a moment, leaving Brewster behind. Far forward a hell begin* to ring, the steam to hiss; the couplings of the boz cars jerk and strain; the horses snort and stamp in their wooden cages; the motion reaches the rear of the train, and the Pullman lenpe forward with sudden start, then settles into slow, gentle glide along the polished rails. “Tumble off, Brewster!" shouts Bidge- w-ay in feverish anxiety. “You'll becar- riod away if yon don't." "Shut up, Bidge.” whispers Bandolph unsympathetically. “ He's carried a way triendg. tt wat through tor and within Jtree months n mine 1 loeat-kfl and yet couldat aril for a dol lar leg;m to pay.

"Abont the maddest thing you could have done.” “I was mad, doctor, when 1 heard she was to marry him.

TO "y window when emaior as he enters the sunshine couldn t see me in the dark hall,and the major as he enters the sunshiny car. whan at last the crowded station lias faded from view. “Thought you were ordered to Washington, lad? Changed your mind, eh? What, Berengatia?" “Be quiet, Dick," whispers ids smil ing wife. "He hasn't changed his mind. Neither has Winifred." But Holden is not the only one of the Pawnee party who remains. Hergeant Ellis lias a furlough to visit Louisville, and is to take the traiu thither. In his cavalry uniform lie was at the station to see bis comrades safely started, and the last cheers of the trooper* were for him as he stood with kindling eye and flnshing cheek, the center of a crowd gf curious citizen*. As the train disappears around the distant curve Holden touches his shonlder. “At noon. Ellis?*' 'At noon, sir,” is the prompt response; and the sergeant recovers himself and, springing to attention, raises his hand in salute. Holden smiles. “1 fancy that’s about the last time you'll be doing that sort of tiling.” he says significantly. "You may rest assured that the im pulse will remain, doctor. It is the out ward sign of an inward respect that every day has only served to strengthen.” At noon Holden is at the hotel with a carriage, and Ellis, transmogrified, a de- i cidedly distinguished looking civilian, steps forth from the vestibule and joins the doctor. 1 “To Warren L. Guthrie's office,” is the brief order, and the carriage rolls rapidly away. "Mrs. Holden is witii Miss Guthrie now," says Holden, after a moment's | i silence. “As yet she is to be told noth ing—as yon desire; hut should we hear favorably as to the commission before our return to Pawnee?" he asked tenta tively. “No, doctor, if we meet again it must be as 1 was, not what this cam paign lias made me.” “What you have made yourself, man! Don't talk of it in that way. The Lord made you a gent Ionian. You made yourself a soldier.” Ellis smiles. “A gentleman despite night prowling tud petty larceny?” “Well,” says Holden, “that's some thing 1 leave yon to settle with her. It wems you only carried out a fair warn ing, though of course you had no idea of the ghastly effect it would have. Cut yon never told me how you reached that balcony." “Easily enough, doctor. 1 simply took a light rope and grappling hook from the firehouse, climbed up the rear porch at the end away from where Kathleen and Mnrphy were, went along the south slope of the maiu roof to the chimney, slung the rope about it and lowered my self gently to the balcony, then threw off my overcoat and stood at the open window. She had gone, and I thought I was too late, but calchiug sight of the very picture whose return she hail de manded and which 1 had sworn to have again as well as to see her, I was just en tering when i heard her step npon the stairs. I did not see her. I do not see how tt was possible for her to see me: yet there came that scream of terror, and the fall and then the rush. It all flashed over me in an instant that i had been guilty of a mad brained prank—tliat it would never do to be caught there; it could never be explained, i was up on the roof in a second, snatched away the hook and nqie. crouched down to the back porch, waited a moment for Mnrphy and Kathleen to run inside, then slid to the ground, hid the rope under the wood- pile in the dark cellar, squeezed through a gap in the fence into the captain’s yard next door—they were all over at the Hazletts’—then donned my overcoat and joined the men running up from the laundresses’ quarters. Late at night, as the sentry told Captain Bolfe. I went back, oetensibly to get my pipe, and re covered the rope and hook, all." Holden ponders a moment; "My wife has told me what she knew of your interview with Mr. Guthrie after poor Jack's death; but Miss Guth rie would never speak of what jsissed between herself and yon.” On the pale, clear cut face the lines of care and sorrow and privation seem to dee'iien. The shadows darken abont the mournful eyes. “1 suppose I should never have Warned her as I did," he answers, “hut ] was mad with grief over Jack, with helpless, hopeless indigna tion over Perdvai’s accusation: and quitting your post again and allowing a ‘ then, of ail others, to have her turn novice to get caught between floors, against me as she did—that was the hit- yon'H get into trouble IF* lucky for [ terest enp!

But the did it, 1 suppose: bnt she drove me from wrath is gone, and with bulging eyes i her sight as though 1 were indeed a the boy glares at the round gold piece in his palm, then at the vanishing lieu tenant and then into the empty car. Homeward bound! The horses are al! aboard. The secoad battalion has steam ed away. Berrien’* men from the car window* are answering the cheer* of th« crowd* of citizens assembled to aee them off. The ladle*, safely ensconced in the oozy interior of the Pullman, are saying adieu to the number of friends, army and civilian, who hare accom panied them to the train. The conduc tor has just reported "All ready, sir," to Major Berrien, who goee back in command, and Winifred, clinging to her mother's side, peer* eagerly over the heads of the surrounding throng Hol den signal* to hla better half to come off, nnlee* she prefer* going back to Paw nee without him, and with much laugh ter and playful effort to keep her aboard felon, demanded the return of every liue and trinket she had ever given me —even that prized little carte de visite I had carried abont me for a year. It was then, when she declared she would never look npon my face again, that I went wild with misery, or despair, I sup pose. 1 swore that sooner or later she should see me, and that before I died her picture would be back here in its old place, and then I left her. God knows, the experiences of the year* that followed might have knocked the ro mantic nonsense ont of any man. My poor sister seemed to be the only one who bad any faith left in me. 1 wan dered all over the west as Baiph Erroll, mining, ‘grub staking,’ working like a dog. “1 was starving in the hills when Brewster came to my aid. 1 couldn't take hi* money Without telling him 1 gave no neither of ns could have seen the other had the mirror lieen away. Now here’s Mr. Guthrie. Mind you, you’ve got to I make amends for that harebrained per- [ formance at Pawnee; so no word of re- , proach to him. He’s old and broken.” j Three minutes later the clerk has re- i tired, after ushering Holden and his j friend into the private office. The in stant the latch has clicked a -ray haired, sorrow stricken man, tears standing in his fading eyes, bands qu vering and trembling, totters forward and might have fallen but for the strong arms that cah'li and clasp him. “My hoy's friend! my boy’s friend— whom ? so wronged!” he falters, and then for awhile there is solemn silence. “Is Mr. Percivnl's confession complete, and have you seen it?” asks iillis gently. “I have, my boy, at last." “And it elcnrs me,' Mr, Guthrie?" “Utterly and entirely,” the. old man Cries. “1 thunk my God 1 was wrong— I was wrong!” One scene more. Pawnee again. The night train has come from the east. Holden's carriage is at the station, and so is Drowsier. “All right?—all arranged?" whispers the doctor, as he springs from the car and grasps the lieutenant’s band. "All right! Kenyon’s just left him," answers Curly, and then busies himself lifting the merry children from the step, welcoming Mrs. Holden and care fully assisting Nita Guthrie to the plat form. “Yen happy fellow!” she murmurs. “How can I congratulate you? It’s an nounced. is it not?" And for a moment she seems, despite pallor and fatigue, the old buoyant, radiant Nita. "Announced?” answers Curly. “My mother-in-law elect—God bless her— says my face announced it before that elevator could reach the lower floor." They drive rapidly np the winding road, and, though plainly nervous and excited, the fair guest never loses her presence of mind. She ha, something appreciative to say a* they pass each fa miliar object—the lower gale, where the spruce sentry stands at a i arry in sa lute; the guardhouse, where the relief is just forming: the broad west gate; the brightly lighted barracks a< ross the pa rade; the group of trump ters in the moonlight out under the tail, glistening flagstaff. Then come the rush of Mur phy and Kathleen to open the door and assist them to alight; the rapturous greeting between the children and their Hibernian friends; the fragi ince of cof fee floating in from the kitchen: the hickory logs snapping and sparkling in the fireplace: the old familiar rooms the swinging lamp in the hall. “Welcome to Pawnee once more. Nita," says Holden, clasping both her hands. "We've had enough of pale cheeks and drooping spir ts. We’ve brought you here to recall the roses—to win you back to joy and health, and to four own old room, Nita. Now will you- promise not to faint this time, no matter what spooks yon see?" She is trembling violently. She looks into his beaming face with eager, ques tioning, imploring eyes. “Come, dear,” whispers Mrs. Holden “I'm going up with you.” The doctor summons the c itldren into the dining room to see the lovely flowers on the table. Mrs. Holden twines her ami about her cousin's waist, and up the stair they slowly go. Nita trembles more and more. They are within a few steps of the landing, and as they come in sight of the open door Nita shrinks closer to her cousin's side. Three steps more and in the dark chamber there gleams that silvery shield of mirror betw een the dim white curtains, reflecting the dazzling moonlight from without They reach the landing and Miss Guthrie parses, breath less, unnerved.

No terror, ^io angnish now, hut, as she is clasped to his heart, joy unutterable in her stifled cry, in the one word—"Harold!" THE END. Why Kimt Reronls Have Been Made, A breeder of fine horses had this to say of tlie recent record smashing: “In addition to the pneumatic tired wheeled sulkies, the trotters and paten this sea son have had the liest tracks to go on that 1 ever saw. The weather has been absolutely perfect, and as a result 1 have never seen tracks so fast as they are this fall.” There it is.
