Socially apeak infr, the Knrriston was enliven ed by the advent of Mrs. Pago, and every body flcN-ked to t hp Tfa-I- knape'quartprH in order to do hex prixr bouiagu. When P-rry called lie asked Parke to pro with him, and when the lat ter termed ready to leave the former, disreKardiiiR a very palpaMo hint from the lady of the house, picked up his for age cap and went liLewiso. For two days the one subject under constant dis cussion nt the post was the event of Miss Maitland's sudden appearance, her peril ous run and her daring and skillful res cue. Everybody maintained that Perry ought to be a very proud aud happy fel low to have been the hero of such an occasion; but it was very plain that Perry waa neither proud nor anything like happy. No one bad ever known him so silent and cast down. The talk with Lawrence had helped matters very littlo. In brief, this was about all the cap tain could tell him, and it was all hear say evidence nt liest. T.'io ofiVcrs of the Eleventh and their ladies bad, with a few exception, taken a dislike to Pr. juin before IV-lknap and Lawrence with their companies of infantry had been or dered to Fort Rossiter. The feeling was in full blast when they arrived, aud dur IngttiCHix or eight months they served there together the infantry people heard only one side of the story that of the fcJeventh for the doctor never conde scended to discuss the matter. After he was forbidden to leave the twist by his commanding officer, and after the announcement of tho "blockade" of Dunraven, it was observed that eignuls were sometimes made from tho ranch at night: a strong li-ht thrown from a re flector was flashed three times and then withdrawn. Nest it was noted, by tin enterprising tnetulier of the guard, that these signals were answered by a light in tho doctor's windows, then that he mounted bis horse and rode away down the valley of tho Moneu. Ho was al ways back at sick call; and, if any one told the commanding officer of his diso bedience of orders, it was not done until so near tho departure of tho Eleventh that tho doctor was not afterwards act ually caught in the act. Things would undoubtedly have been brousht to a crisis had tho Eleventh been allowed to remain. Now as to the story about Mrs. Ouin aud her going. It was observed during the winter that she was lookinr verv badly, and the story went the rounds iii the Eleventh that she was Ktun-r mid buf fering liecause of her husband a conduct. Unquestionably there was some fair i n- chautressat Luuraven who lured him from his own lireside. She had no inti mates among tho ladies. She was twoud and aileiit. It did Dot seem to occur to them that she waa resentful of their dis like of her husband. They were sure she was pining" because of his neglect or worse. When, therefore, without word of warning, she suddenly took bur de parture in the spring, there was a gasp of gossip loving cronies in the garrison; ail doubts were at an end: bite liad left him and taken her children with her. "Tho uioro I think of it," said Law rence, the more I believe the whole thing capable of explanation. The only thing that puzzles me now is that Quiii bides anything from your colonel, who is one of the most courteous arid rotitud erate men I ever served with. Perhaps he has told him by this timu; we don't know. Perhaps be thought he might lw of the same stamp as Ids predecessor, and was waiting to tind out before be made bis confidences. As to M rs. (Ruin's going away when sho did. it may have been simply that her health was suffer ing, she needed change, ntid went with bis full a.lvi -e find by his wish, and he simply feels too much contempt for gar rison go-sip to explain. Very probably he knows nothing of the storiex und the ries in circulation; I'm sure I did not intil a very few weeks ago. You kuow. who hear and know everything, and others who never hear a word of scan dal." But Perry was low In bis mind. He could r.ot forget yuiu's sudden appear ance; bis calling her Gladys; and then be hated the thought that it was Quin who saw biiu having that confounded tender interview with 5Ir. Belknap. Was there ever such a streak of ill luck as that? No doubt the fellow had told her about itl Perry left Lawrence's that night very little comforted, and only one gleam of hote did he receive in the two days that followed. Mrs. Spracue joy fully beckoned him on Wednesday after noon to read him a little note that bad just come from Miss Maitland. Her father bad been very ill, she wrote; bis condition was still critical; but she sent a world of thanks to her kind entertain ers at Uossiter, and these w ords: "I waa sorry not to be able to see Mr. Perry again. Do not let him think I have for gotten, or will l,e likely to forget, the service he und Nolan did me." Of Dr. Quin he saw verv little. With the full consent and knowledge of CoL Brainard, the doctor was spending a good deal of time at Dunraven now, at tending to Mr. Maitland. Indeed, there seemed to be an excellent understanding between the commandant and his medi cal oflicer, and it was known that they had had a long talk together. Upper circles in the garrison were still agitated with chat and conjecture aliout Gladys Maitland and her strange father; Perry was still tortured with questions about his one visit to Dunraven whenever ! was ho incautious as to anneur in imblic: but all through "the quarters," every where anions- the rank and file, there was a subject thatengrossed all thoughts and tongues, and thut wasdiwussed with feeling that seemed to deepen with every lay the approaching court martial of bergt. Lpary aud of Trooper Kelly. As a result of his investigation, Capt fctryker had preferred chanres mrairmt these two men the one for leading and the other for being accessory to tho as sault on his atuble aertreanL Owvnna was still at the hospital, thouch ranidlv recovering from bis injuries. Not a word nau lie said that would implicate or ao- cuiie any man; but Stryker. knowledge of his soldiers, and his clear Insight Into iiutnaa motive and character, were such that he had readily made up his mind as to the facU in the case. He felt sure that sary and some of the Celtic members nf his company had determined to go down to Dunraven and "have it out" with the hated Briton who had so affronted and 1 11 1 1 1 abused tltem the night of Perry's visit They kne w they could not get their horses by fair means, for Gwynne was above suspicion. lie was English, too, and striving to shield his countrymen from the threatened vengeance. They there fore dete -mined, in collusion with Kelly, to lure him outside the stables, bind and gag him, got their horses, having ones rifled Gwynne of the keys, ride down to the rancli, and, after having a Donny brook fai - on the premises, get back to Rossiter i 1 plenty of time for reveille and stables. No sentries were posted in such way as to interfere with them, and the plan was feasible enough but for ons thing. Gwynne had made moat gallant and Bpiritid resistance, had fought the wnoie gat g like a Hirer, and thev had been unal le to overpower him before the noise had attracted the attention of the sergeant f the guard and some of the men In quarters. An effort, of course, was made to show that the assaulting pany wet irom without, but it was futile, anl Stryker's cross-questioning among tho men had convinced them that he knew til about ths matter. There was only one conclusion, therefore, that Gwynne must have "given them away," as the trot pers expressed it. Despite the fact that he had been as saulted an 1 badly beaten, this was some thing that few could overlook, and the latent jealousy against the "cockney sergeant" I ilazed into a feeling of deep resent men. Garrison sympathy was with Leary and bis fellows. Thursda;- came, and Sergt. Gwynne returned to light duty, though his face was still biuised and discolored and be wore a pat -h over one eye. He resumed charge of the stables In the afternoon, after a hrii f conversation with his cap tain, and was superintending the Issue of forage, vlico Perry entered to inspect the stalls of his platoon. Nolan was being led ut by his groom at the mo ment, and pricked up bis tapering ears at 6igbt of .lis master and thrust his lean muzzle to r veive the caress of the hand he knew well Perry stopped him and carefully and critically examined Ids knees, fcling down to the fetlocks w ith searc ling finger for the faintest symptom of knot or swelling in the ten dons that bad played their part so thoroughly in the drama of Monday. Satisfied, apparently, he rose and be stowed a few hearty pats on the glossy neca- ana shoulder, and then was sur prised to find the stable sergeant stand ing close be .ide him and regarding both hiiu and In rso with an expression that arrested Petry's attention at once. "Feeling all right again, sertreant?" he asked, thinking to recall the non-com missioned oilicer to bis senses. "Almost, sir. I'm a trifle stiff yet Anything wrong with Nolan, sir?" "Nothing. I gave him rather a touch run the othe r day had to risk the prai rie dog holt s and, though I felt no jar then, I've - atched carefully ever since to see that h i was not wrenched. I wish you would ktep an eye on him too, will you.' There was no answer. Perry had been looking ove- Nolan's haunches as he spoke, anil o-ice more turned to the ser geant To I. is astonishment, Gwynne's lips were twitchiug and quivering, bis hands, ordin trily held in the rigid pose of the Engl sh service extended along the thigh were clinching and working nervously, and something suspiciously like a tear w.w creeping out from under the patch. Iu-fore Perry could recover from his surprise the sergeant suddenly regained his self control, hastily raised his hand In salute, saying something half articulate in reply, and turned sharply a war. leaving his lieutenant gazing after l.iiu in much perplexity. That iiibt, just after tattoo roll call, when a little group of officers was gath ered at the colonel's gate, they were sud denly joined by Dr. Quin, who came from the direction of the stable where he kept his horst in rear of his own quar ters. Col. Bndnard greeted him warmly and inquired after his patient at Dun raven. Even- one noted how grave and subdued was the tone in w hich the doc tor answered: "He is a vi ry sick man, colonel, and it is hard to sj y what will lie the result of this seizure." . . uay iaui to go down again, doctor, if that be the case before sick call to-morroH-, I mean; and tou had better take oris of my horses. I'll tell my man to ha -e one in readins m." lou are ve-y kind, sir. I think old t.riari will do t il ths work needed. But I would like tc go down at reveille, as we have no mi n in hospital at all now. And. by the way, is Mr. Perry herer "I am here,' answered Perry coldly, lie was leaning against the railing. rather away frjtu the group. listening iiiieniiy, y. t in willing to meet or hold conversation with the man he conceived to be so iiiiniici.l to his every hope and interest. "Mr. Perry,' said the doctor, pleas antly, and utttrly ignoring ths coldness of the young fellow's manner, "Mr. Maitland has isked to see you; and it would gratify him if you would ride down in the morning." Even in the darkness Perry feared that all would see tin flush that leaped to his face. Summon id to Dunraven Ranch, by her father. ith a possibility of see ing her! It was almost too sweet! too thrilling! lie c uld rt m rmply (w mi a awkward silenc fell on the group until he chokingly answered, "I shall be glad to go. What time?" "Better ride d jwn early. Never mind breakfast Miss Maitland will be glad to give you a cup of coffee, I fancy." And Perry fel: as though the fence had taken to waltzin He made no answer, triving to regain his composure, and then the talk w.;nt on. It was Strvkr who was talking now: "Has the ring been found, doctor?" "No! That is a most singular thing nd one that wo,Ties the old gentleman a great deal. It had a history; it be longed to Mrs. Vlaitland's father, who was from Irelan J indeed, Ireland was her country, as it was my father's and that ring she had reset for her son Archie aad gave it to him when he entered serv ice with the Lam era. It was sent home with bis watch a id other property from South Africa fo- he died there and old Maitland alwayt wore it afterwards. Arclu'e was tho 1; st of three sots; and it broke his heart." "And the ring was lost the night of Perry's adventure there?" asked the col onel. "Yes. Mr. Perry remembers having seen it on his haul when the old gentle man first came dt wn to receive him. It was missed afterv ards, and could easily have sliped off at any time, for bis fin gers were withe -ed with age and ill health. They havo searched everywhere, and could find nt thing of it It could easily have rolled off the veranda on to the grass during bis excitement at the time of the row, a id somebody may have picked it up either among the ranch men or among the troopers." "I hate to think that any of our men would take it," si Id the colonel after a pause. "I do not third: any of them would, with the idea of m lling it." said Stryker; "but here is a cas j where it was picked up, possibly, as on) of the spoils of war. I have had inquiry made throughout the troop, but with no result so far. Do you go down again to-i ight. doctor?" "Not if I can avoid it I am going now to try and sleep, and will not ride down till daybreak unless signaled for. Good night, colonel; gooj night, all." Unless signalec fori Instinctively Perry edged closer :o Lawrence, who had stood a silent listen. to the conversation, and Lawrence turned and saw him and knew the thought that must be upper most in his mind. There was a moment of perfect silence, and then Lawrence spoke: Doea anybody know what the signal i I "Certainly," said CoL Brainard, 1 "."I'v-J . ug UOB CJIUUUm llltj W11O10 thing to me. Those were signals for him that we saw the night you were all on my gallery. It was an arrangement de vised by their old nurse she who came up w ith the carriage for Miss Maitland the other day. She had a regular old fashioned headlight and reflector, and, when Mr. Maitland was so ill as to need a doctor, used to notify Quin in that way. He sometimes failed to see it, and I have given orders today that the guard Bhould wake him when it is seen here after." "Then that was what those mysterious night lights meant that we have beard so niuchaliout during the lust three weeks?" asked Mr. Dim a. "Certainly." answered Krainard. "What on earth did nnvliodv suppose they meant ?" To this there was no response for a moment Then L-iw rence burst out laughing. fro HE roxTixr:n7 RESENTED THE OUTRAGE. t he Msrmw 1 ookrd A ft, 8sw a Ti nil Gut Mad About It.
