That ac /Sil ' counts for his of t.tjMl. k-U being left to him- to self more tlian is Common or judicious for one of Uncle gam's horsemen in field or post. A troop is a family of big boys. Somo of thorn are big bad boys, and odd thing about it is that these nut always the unpopular ones.

If the now man, in a reasonable period, develops no objectionable traits, lie will find himself a member of the family, which are other words for a good fellow. 8 But ho can't bo a silent man nor a sneak; neither can he manipulate a voluminous correspondence. These things are fatal.

As it was, I began to feel for him that strong, wholesome respect which one always has for physical capability, when it is not accompanied by mental sluggishness. Then I liked Lander's face. handsome fellow—handsome Ho was a astride his liorso, and at mess and at grooming—haudsomo when silent. Yet I have seen his eyelids droop over a wicked pair of shining eyes, and seen an ugly, bloodless look about his lower lip. I saw this on'the hot day when Lieutenant Mat Crim kicked him in tlio back, because—I wish I knew my I will tell you what I saw. A couple of troops of the regiment were out on a target range. We were camped in a bunch of unaspiring foot hills which, lato in the afternoon, rested in tho huge conical shadow of Old Bakly. icy cone punctures the sky at one of the highest points in Arizona. We in that sand-stricken laud where Did am the but self. as I to is to The tip of Old Baldy's were wayfarers have to climb for w-ater aud dig for fuel-wood. We were in that heat-ridden land whore the lean, long coyote scents death and trots cau- so tiously thither—where the vulture his bare crimson neck from be hind a cloud, and peers earthward for dying things. Lieutenant Mat Crim was a little is wasp-waisted chap, who had a dirty trick of getting mad. His West Point days were too fresh in his mind for Ho never a cranes him to be a good oflicer. allowed himself to lose sight of the fact that ho was officer and that a mighty stretch of superiority lay between him aud common, enlisted man. Crim had just been transferred to our troop. Lander had come from another regi ment two months before. The two met that hot afternoon—just be commissioned men fore grooming time. Lauder sainted. Crim stopped short, caught at his breath several times and began to relievo himself of lot of livid English, all of which struck mo as mysterious. Lander stood "at attention," said something in a low voice and walked away. Lieutenant Crim was ungovernable. He sprang a ftcr Lauder, kicked him in the back and said: "I'll make life miserable for you, Cbarlio Howard!" which I judge must have been Lander's eiviliau name. Lauder laughed low and melodi I was thinking how wicked a ously. Lander looked when he laughed that Then tho bugle sounded v O' "stables." Everv man in the troop detested the lieutenant, aud all admired Lauder for keeping his nerve. Olio of the most unprofitable things a soldier can do is to strike a superior officer. The same kind of a finish awaits him as if he had been found sleeping at his post. I watched Lauder, and Lander soc watched Lieutenant Crim during the several following weeks. And they were not pretty eyes, those strange eyes of Lander's, as they trailed the movements of his superior oßieer. To all, he preserved bis self-bound f u intensity. Glad, indeed, would I have been to come very close to the heart of this silent man, because I learned to have deep feelings for him. IIo possessed the cold nerve which makes < heroes, and the great warm heart " which makes fnends^-I was sure of ag this. But his nature was broad enough to cover his troubles, so ho did not confide in men. Heroes can hate well. to Wliy my eyes wandered to the op posite side of one of Lander s letters while lie was holding it up, and there lingered for a single disgraceful sec ond, is something more hau I can ex plain. I can only regret it. At any rate, I saw these words: "Ob, Charlie, do let me come to you!" A lady-killer is my silent friend thought I; but didn't mean to read part of his letter-really, I didn't. After five weeks the troops were ordered to the barracks. No one was sorry, for life on target range in An zona is tedtous, putting it with studied mildness. And then they have mos ,U„„ It was this I it the last night handy man at tragedies. •ge way : "Say, old chap," said Lander in light manner the morning before, " a little favor for me, will yon? I want you to meet a lady for me. I will have another engagement to night!" "A lady in this country!" pored excitedly. Nothing but greaser maidens aud squaws had I seen for months—it seemed.

"There'll be »showdown to-night," out. "Now Crim turns up again in the attitude of my superior officer, which dramatic, and the little wom he said. After retreat, the lieutenant called for his horse aud loped slowly townward. The sun was red and low, and the silken flag over headquarters was cased for the night. A little later Lander ontered the tent, threw his cartridge bolt about him and saun tered carelessly out. "Don't keep tbe little woman wait ing long," he whispered to me. I watched his form grow dim in the shadows toward the village. Then I stepped into my cartridge belt, looked at my six-shooter and became one of the mysterious townward procession, Something is going to drop on tho vil lage road this night, I thought. Lander was sitting by tbe road side a mile from camp, did not speak to mo. While I waited, I wondered why I had not remembered to shake hands with Lander that night. It seemed a long time before the lieutenant's horse ; was heard down the road. I hoped that Lander would not pick off his man from ambush. I hated to think he would do it.

But Orim knew then j that he was only a common huinail j man, like the being before him, whoni he had kicked. He saw in the faded twilight a private in the regular army who in the presence of other men was his slave: but, who alone, in the foot hills of Arizona, was a cool, deter jy mined, smiling foe. He saw before j him the handsome Charlie Howard, who was loved by a woman he loved, He saw the reckless light in Howards eyes which boded no good.

I see that you have your six-shooter. I was too soft-hearted to bruise you with my hands." Crim looked at his man keenly. IIo then looked over his six-shooter care f u ]iy.

And when there were no more words I hurried away to the village to keep H Lander's engagement, felie was there -—a little thing—pretty aud trembling. There was a lace handkerchief in her hand and a soft perfume about hei. I told her what Lander had said. She did not cry, but clutched my arm •il with fierce strength. "Take me to him," she demanded.

"Let us hurry—faster!" I said. There was no change. Lieutenant Mat Crim had not returned. The wom an picked up the pistol which had fallen by the silent man's side, and throw open the cylinder with t'je ease of a veterar. Six loaded cartridges fell into her hand. "You saw it all?" she questioned slowly. "And he was your friend?" I bowed. "Then you will kill the coward for your friend's sake!" She spoke the words altogether too loudly. "He is my superior officer, madame," I whispered. "Leave me now," she commanded. "But, madame," I objected, "I must walk with you back to the vill age." I it I a I have this." "No, no! Leave me. She was replacing tho cartridges into the cylinder.
