CHAPTER IV.
The review that morning had drawn
crowd to the drill grounds that
baffled the efforts of the guards. Car
riages from camps and carriages from
town, carts from the suburbs, eques
trians from the parks and pedestrians
from everywhere had gradually en
croached within kicking distance of the
heels of the cavnlr.v escorting the gen
eral commanding the department, aqp
that official noted with unerring eye
that the populace was coming up on his
flanks, so to speak, at the moment when
the etiquette of the service required
that he should be gazing only to his im
mediate front and responding to the sa
lutes of the marching column. Back of
him, ranged in long, single rank, was
drawn up what the newspapers unani
mously described as a "brilliant" staff,
despite the fact that all were in som
ber campaign uniform and several had
never been so rated before. In their
rear, in turn, was the line of mounted
orderlies and farther still the silent
rank of the escorting troop. Sentries
had been posted to keep the throng at
proper distance, but double their force
could have accomplished nothing—the
omniscient corporal could not help
them, and after asking one or two stray
officers what they would do about it, the
sentries gave way and the crowd
swarmed in. It was just as the head of
the long tramping column came op
posite the reviewing point, and the
brigade commander and his staff, turn
ing out after saluting, found their al
lotted station on the right of the review
ing party completely taken up by the
mass of eager spectators. A minute or
so was required before the trouble
could be remedied, for just as the offi
cers and orderlies were endeavoring to
induce the populace to give way a
thing the American always resists with
a gay good humor that is peculiarly his
own—a nervous hack driver on the out
skirts backed his bulky trap with unex
pected force, and penned, between it and
the wheels of a newly-arrived and much
more presentable equipage a fair eques
trian who shrieked with fright and
clung to her pommel as her excited
"mount" lashed out with his heels and
made splinters of the hack's rearmost
spokes and felloes. Down went the
hack on its axle point. Out sprang a tall
officer from the open carriage, and in a
second, it seemed, transferred the panic
stricken horsewoman from the seismat
ic saddle to the safety of his own seat,
and the ministrations of the two young
women and the gray-hairefl civilian
who were the latest arrivals. This done,
and after one quick glance at the lady's
helpless escort, a young officer from the
Presidio, he shouldered his way through
the crowd and stood, presently, on its
inner edge, an unperturbed and most
interested spectator. Battalion after
battalion, in heavy marching order, in
the dark blue service dress, with, cam
paign hats and leggins, with ranks well
closed and long, well-aligned fronts,
with accurate trace of the guides
well-judged distance, the great regi
ments came striding down the gentle
slope, conscious, every officer and man,
of the admiration they commanded.
F- 1«nny0B
Armstrong, himself commander of a
fine regiment of volunteers in another
brigade, looked upon them with a sol
dier's eye, and loolced approvingly.
Then, as the rearmost company passed
the reviewing point and gentlemen with
two stars on each shoulder extended
their congratulations to the reviewed
commander with one, Armstrong also
made his way among the mounted offi
cers in his calm, deliberate fashion,
heedless of threatening heels and
crowding forehands, until he, too, could
say his word of cordial greeting. He
had to wait a few minutes, for the gen
eral officers were grouped and talking
earnestly. He heard a few words and
knew well enough what was meant—
that quantities of stores intended for
the soldiers, even dainties contributed
by the Red Cross society,, had been
stolen from time to time and spirited
off in the dead of night, and doubtless
sold in town for the benefit of a pack
of unknown scoundrels enlisted for no
better purpose. In his own regiment
his system had been so strict that no
loss was discoverable, but in certain
others the deficit was great. Com
plaints were loud, and the camp com
mander, stung possibly by comments
from the city, had urged
Nealy.)
hiB
officers to
unusual effort, and had promised pun
ishment to the extent of the law on the
guilty parties whenever or wherever
found.
Even as he was exchanging a word
with the brigadier, Armstrong heard
the exclamation: "By Jove—they've
caught another I" for with a grim smile
of gratification the camp commander
had read and turned over to his adju
tant general a brief dispatch just hand
ed him by a mounted orderly who had
galloped fast.
"One of your irreproachables, Arm
strong," said one of the staff, with
something half sneer, half taunt, as he
too read and then passed the paper to
the judge advocate of the division.
Armstrong turned with his usual de
liberation. There was ever about him
a quiet dignity of manner that was the
delight of
hiB
friends and despair of his
foes.
"What is his name?" he calmly asked.
"That young fellow at Canker's head
quarters you took so much interest in
a day or so ago," was the reply.
"That does not give his name—nor
identify him as one of my men," said
Armstrong, coolly.
"Oh, well, I didn't say he belonged to
your command," was the staff officer's
response. "You devoted a good deal
of time to him, that's all. Possibly yon
suspected him."
"If you mean the young soldier in
Gordon's office, —teenth infantry, I
would be slow to suspect him of any
crime," said Armstrong, with some
thing almost like a drawl, so slow and
deliberate was his manner, ud aaw ths
'.HtMl mi un tad Um tHr, olMMmt

face were turned straight upon the
snapping black eyes and dark features
of the other. There was no love lost
there. One could tell without so much
as seeing.
'You're off, then! That commissary
sergeant gave him away the very even
ing you were looking him over—he got
wind of it and skipped, and to-day came
back in handcuffs."
'All of which may be as you say, and
still not warrant your reference to him
as one of my irreproachables," an-
a gay
Qar-
swered Armstrong, "and it will take
more than the evidence you rafar to
to make me believe him guilty.'
By this time much of the crowd and
most of the vehicles had driven away.
The generals still sat in saddles chat
ting earnestly together, while their
staff officers listened in some impa
tience to the conversation just record
ed. Everybody knew the fault was not
Armstrong's, but it was jarring to have
to sit and hearken to the controversy.
"Don't ever twit or try funny business
with Armstrong," once said a regi
mental sage. He had no sense of hu
mor*—of that kind. Thosa who best
knew him knew that Armstrong never
tolerated unjust accusations, great or
small. In his desire to say an irritat
ing thing to a man he both envied and
respected, the staff officer had not con
fined himself to the facts, and it proved
a boomerang. It was true that two
days before, calling at Gordon's official
tent while several other officers were
present at an investigation then going
on, Armstrong was seen to be greatly
interested in the appearance and testi
mony of Gordon's young, dark-eyed
clerk, and after the conference asked
many questions about and finally asked
to speak with him. Then young Mor
ton was again missing when he was
wanted, and the next heard of him he
was either absent without leave—or a
deserter.
And now once again Armstrong's
eyes had lighted on that boy. Seated
opposite Miss Lawrence as the carriage
whirled across Point Lobos avenue, and
watching her unobtrusively, he saw the
sudden light of alarm and excitement
in her expressive face, heard the faint
exclamation as her gloved hand grasped
the rail of the seat, felt the quick sway
of the vehicle as the horses shied in
fright at some object beyond his vision.
Then as they dashed on he had seen
the running guard and, just vanishing
within the portals of the corner build
ing, the slim figure of the escaping pris
oner. He saw the quivering hands
tearing at their fastenings. He knew
he had seen that figure before now,
He turned to the driver and bade him
stop a minute, but it took SO yards of
effort before the spirited horses could
be calmed and brought to a halt at the
curb. To the startled inquiries of Mr.
Prime and his daughter as to the cause
of the excitement and the running and
Bhouting he answered simply: "A pris
oner escaped, I think," and sent a pass
ing corporal to inquire the result. The
man came back in a minute.
"They got him easy, sir. He had no
Bhow. His hands were tied behind hit
back and he couldn't olimb," was the
brief report.
"They have not hurt him, I hope,*1
said Armstrong.
"No, sir. He hurt them—one of 'em,
at least, before he'd surrender when
they nabbed him In town. This time ht
submitted all right—said he only ran la
for a glass of beer, and was laughing*
like when I got there."
"Very well. That'll do. Go on, driver.
We haven't a minute to lose if we are to
see the review," he continued, as h«
stepped lightly to his seat. "I
nothing of this affair," said Miss Prime.
"What was it all about?"
"Nor could I see," added her father.
"I heard shouts and after we passed saw
the guard, but no fugitive/"
"It is just as well—indeed, I'm glad
you didn't, uncle," answered Miss Law
rence, turning even as she spoke and
gazing wistfully back. "He looked so
young, and seemed so desperate, and
had such a—I don't know—hunted look
on his face—poor fellow."
And then the carriage reached the en
trance to the reservation and the sub*
ject, and the second object of Miss Law*
rence's sympathies evoked that day,
were for the time forgotten. Possibly
Mrs. Garrison was partly responsible
for this, for hardly had they rounded
the bend in the road that brought them
in full view, from the left, or southern
flank, of the long line of masses in
which the brigade was formed, than
there came cantering up to them, all
gay good humor, all smiles and saucy
coquetry, their hostesB of the evening
at
the general's tent. She was mounted on
a sorry-looking horse, but the "habit"
was a triumph of art, and it well became
her petite, rounded figure.
No one who really analyzed Mrs.
Frank Garrison's features could say
that she was a pretty woman. No one
who looked merely at the general effect
when she was out for conquest could
deny it. Col. Armstrong, placidly ob*
servant as usual, was quick to note the
glances that shot between the cousint
on the rear seat as the little lady came
blithely alongside. He knew her, and
saw that they were beginning to be __
wise as he, for the smiles with which
they greeted her were but wintry re
flections of those that beamed upon her
radiant face. Prime, paterfamilias,
bent cordially forward in welcome, but
her quick eyes had recognized the
fourth occupant by this time, and there
was a little less of assurance in her
manner from that instant.
"How perfectly delicious!" she cried.
"I feared from what you said yesterday
you weren't coming, and so I never or»
dered the carriage, but came out in sad
die—I can't stay on horseback with
such a wreck as this, but every decent
horse in the Presidio had to go out with
the generals and staffs, you know, and
I had to take what I could get—both
horse and escort," she added, in a confi
dential tone. "Oh!—May I present Mr.
Ellis? He knows you all by name al
ready." (The youth in attendance and
a McClellan tree two sizes too big for
him, lifted his cap and strove to smile:
he had ridden nothing harder than
park back before that day). "Prank
says I talk of nothing else. But Where's
Mr. Gray? Surely I thought he would
be with you." This for Armstrong's
benefit in case he were In the least in*
terested in either damsel.
"Mr. Gray was detained by some du
ties in camp," explained Miss Prime,
with just a trace of reserve feat
MUHK|
the colonel. It settled a matter the
plaeid rfficer was revolving in
WM
LAST
hiB
mind.
"Pardon us, Mrs. Garrison," he said,
briefly. "We must hurry. Go on,
driver."
"Oh, I can keep up," was the indomit
able answer, "even on this creature."
And Mrs. Garrison proved her words by
whipping her steed into a lunging can
ter, and, Bitting him admirably, rode
gallantly alongside, and just where Mr.
Prime could not but see and admire,
since Col. Armstrong would not look
at all. He had entered into an explana
tion of the ceremony by thai time well
under way, and Miss Lawrence's great
soft brown eyes were fixed upon him
attentively when, perhaps, she should
have been gazing at the maneuvers.
Like those latter, possibly, her thoughts
were changing direction.
Not ten minutes later occurred the
collision between the hack and the
heels that resulted in the demolition of
one and "demoralization" of the rider
of the victor. While the latter was led
away by the obedient Mr. Ellis lest the
sight of him should bring on another
nervous attack, Mrs. Garrison was suf
fering herself to be comforted. Her
nerves were gone, but she had not lost
her head. Lots of Presidio dames and
damsels were up on the heights that
day in such vehicles as the post afford
ed. None appeared in anything so
stylish and elegant as the carriage of
the Prime party. She was a new and
comparative stranger there, and it
would vastly enhance* her social
prestige, she argued, to be seen in such
"swell" surroundings. With a little
tact and management she might even
arrange matters so that, willy nilly, her
friends would drive her thither instead
of taking Col. Armstrong back to
camp. That would be a stroke worth
playing. She owed Stanley Armstrong
a bitter grudge, and had nursed it long.
6he had known him ten years and hated
him nine of them. Where they met
and
when it really matters not. In the army
people meet and part in a hundred
places when they never expected to
meet again. She had married Frank
Garrison in a hand gallop, said the gar
rison chronicles, "before she had known
him two months," said the men, "before
he knew her at all," said the women.
She was four years
hiB
senior, if the
chaplain could be believed, and five
months his junior if she could. What
ever might have been the discrepancy
In their ages at the time of the cere
mony no one would suspect the truth
who saw them now. It was he who*
looked aged and careworn and
harassed, and she who preserved her
youthful bloom and vivacity.
And now, as she reclined as though
still too weak and shaken to leave the
carriage and return to saddle, her quick
wits were planning the scheme that
should result in her retaining, and his
losing, the coveted seat. There was lit
tle time to lose. Most of the crowd had
scattered, and she well knew that he
was only waiting for her to leave be
fore he would return. Almost at the
instant her opportunity came. A cov
ered wagon reined suddenly alongside
and kind and sympathetic voices hailed
her: "Do let us drive you home, Mrs.
Garrison you must have been terribly
shaken." She recognized at once the
wife and daughter of a prominent offi
cer of the post.
"Oh, how kind you are," she cried. "I
was hoping some one would come. In
deed, I did get a little wrench." And
then, as she moved, with a sudden gasp
of pain, she clasped Miss Lawrence's
extended hand.
"Indeed, you must not move, Mrs.
Garrison/* said that young lady. "We
"Wc wU14ttv« uoa bona it on,"
will drive you home at once." Miss
Prim, and her lather were adding their
pleas. She looked up, smiling faintly,
"1 fear I must trouble you," she
faltered. "Oh, how stupid of me! But
about Stanley Armstrong—I haven't
even thanked him. Ah, well—he knows.
We've been—such good friend* for
years—dear old fellowl"
CHAPTEB V.
There had been a morning of Jubilee
in the camp of the Fifth Separate bri
gade, and a row in the tents of the reg
ulars. Up to within a fortnight such
a state of affairs would have been con
sidered abnormal, for the papers would
have it that the former were on the
verge of dissolution through plague,
pestilence and famine due to the neg
leot of officials vaguely referred to as
"the military authorities," or "the
•tall," while up to the coming of Can
ker to command sweet accord had
reigned in the regular brigade, and the
volunteers looked on with envy. But
now a great martial magnate had
praised the stalwart citiren soldiery
whom he had passed in review early in
the day, and set them to shouting by
the announcement that, as reward for
their hard work and assiduous drill,
they should have their heart's desire
and be shipped across the seas to far
Manila. It had all been settled before
hand at headquarters. The "chief" had
known for four days that that partic
ular command would be selected for
the next expedition, but it tickled "the
boys" to have it put that way, and the
home papers would make so much of
it. So there was singing and triumph
and rejoicing all along the eastern
verge of a rocky, roughly paved cross
•treat, and rank blasphemy across tha
way. To the scandal and sorrow of the
teenth infantry some of the recent
robberies had been traced to their very
doors. A commissary sergeant had
"weakened," a cartman had squealed,
and one of the most popular and at
tractive young soldiers in the whole
command was now a prisoner in the
guardhouse oharged with criminal
knowledge of the whole affair, and of
being a large recipient of the ill-gotten
money—Morton, of the adjutant's of
fice, a private in company K.
What made it worse was the allega
tion that several others, non-commis
sioned officers and "special duty men,"
were mixed up in the matter, and Can
lcer had rasped the whole commissioned
force present for duty in his lecture
upon the subject and had almost inti
mated that officers were conniving at
the concealment of the guilt of their
sergeants rather than have it leak out
-that the felony was committed in a
company of their commanding.
Be and Gordon had had what was
described aa a "red-hot" row, all be
cause Gordon flatly declared that while
something waa queer about the oaaa of
ywttc *Urk, kii iwt hi* fciMm
dollar he wasn't a thief. Canker said
such language was a reflection on him
self, as he had personally investigated
the case, was convinced Morton's guilt
could be established, and had so report
ed to the brigade commander in recom
mending trial by general court-martial.
Indeed he had made out a case against
the lad even before he was arrested and
returned to camp. (Gordon asked if he
had seen the boy and heard his story.
Canker reddened and said he hadn't,
and he didn't mean to and didn't have
to. Gordon said he had—he had talked
with the lad fully and freely on his
being brought to camp toward nine
o'clock, and was greatly impressed with
his story—as would anyone else be
who heard it. Canker reddened still
more and said he wouldn't allow of
ficers to interview prisoners without
his authority. "I'll prefer charges
against the next that does it," said he.
And not three hours later, Mr. Billy
Gray, sprawling on his camp cot, striv
ing to forget the sorrow of the earlier
morning, and to memorize a page of
paragraphs of army regulations,
suddenlj* accosted by an orderly who
stood at the front of the tent, scratch
ing at the tent flap—the camp substi
tute for a ring at the belL
"A note for the lieutenant," said he,
darting in and then darting out, pos
sibly fearful of question. It was a
queer note:
"I am a total stranger to you, but I were

ciety that was yours at the university.

Yours in JL 3 X,
"GEORGE MORTON.*
Well, I'll be blessed!" said Mr. Gray,
as he rolled out of his gray blanket.
"Here's a state of thingsl Listen to
thi6, captain," he called to his company
commander in the adjoining tent.
Here's Morton, back from 48 hours*
absence without leave, brought back
by armed guard after sharp resist
ance, charged with Lord knows what
all, wants to tell me his story and prove
his innocence.'
You let him alone," growled his
senior. "Bemember what Canker said,
or you'll go in arrest. What call has
Morton on you, I'd like to know?1
The lad flushed. Fraternity waa a
very sacred thing in the a 2 It
was "the most exclusive crowd at the
'varsity." Its membership was pledged
to one another by unusual ties. It was
the hardest society for a fellow to get
into in any one of the seven colleges
whereat it flourished, and its mystic
bonds were not shaken off with the
silken gown and ""mortar board" of
undergraduate days, but followed its
membership through many a maturer
year. It was a society mostcollege men
might ask to join in vain. Money, so
cial station, influence were powerless.
Not until a student had been under ob
servation two whole years and
thoroughly known could he hope for a
'bid" to become a "Delta 8ig." Not
until another six months of probation
could he eport its colors, and not until
he formally withdrew from its fold*
in post graduation years, could he oon
slder himself absolved from its mild
obligations. But the boast of the "Del
ta Sig" had ever been that no one of
its membership had ever turned a deaf
ear to a fellow in need of aid. Who of
its originators ever dreamed of such a
thing as its drifting into and becoming1
a factor in the affairs of the regular
