For some reasons Red Cross officials wish their tables, where they have been lunch ing departing soldiers, moved across plat form directly under the side of the trans port, but the officer of the guard has orders to allow no one to Intrude on that space However Mrs. Garrison overhearing wish of Bed Cro3s official accomplishes the end by scrawling a note to the officer. The colonel of the regiment about to leave ar rives and Is surprised to see his reserved space occupied. Joining Armstrong at this momenthe shows him Mrs- Garrison's note. Armstrong turns sharply to where Mrs. Garrison had been, but she had vanished. Armstrong now learns an Important paok age has been taken from Gen. Drayton's tent. The night boforo an Important pris oner, Morton, had cscaped, and Billy Gray, officer of the guard, placed underar reat. CHAPTER Vil.—'Board of officers, oon vened by Canker, investigates escape of prisoners from guardhouse. A tunnel from guardhouse to street is discovered. Canker places a sent*? over Gray's tent, intending to hold him for orlsoners' eso&nA CHAPTER Vm.-Tno story goes imir* to the summer of '87, when the 'vPairy Sis ters' (Mrs. Garrison and Nlta Terris) were the sensation at West Point. Mrs. Garrison warned Nlta against accepting attentions of young Latrobe, a cadet who was shortly to graduate, insisting she must marry money. A card is handed Mrs. Garrison—"Hr. Gouvenour Prlrpo CHAPTER IX.—"Gov." Prime had fallen into a mad Infatuation for Mrs. Garrison, though she was married and several years his senior. He had been abroad for a time, but now unexpectedly returned. A letter about this time from Latrobe Intend ed for Nlta fell into Mrs. Garrison's hands, and, to break up what was already an en gagement, took her sister west. A few months later Nita married Col. Frost. On this announcement Latrobe suddenly dis appeared. Now, too, Mr. Prime, learning of his son a attentions to a married woman, became angry, whereupon "Gov." left home. Months later Mr. Prime got word of his son's enlistment and traced him to San Francisco, but without flndlne him. CHAPTER X.-^Durlng the PYosts noti eymoon, Mrs. Frost received in Wash ington a note from Latrobe, who swore he would follow her until granted an in terview. Then the war broke out. Frost was assigned to duty in the Philippines, 2£?„h6.t02,k his wife as far as Hong-Kong. While in San Francisco he learned of his wife's previous attachment to Latrobe. CHAPTER XI.—Col. Armstrong gets from Adit. Gordon the story of Morton, and concludes that the young recruit (and now a deserter) is "Gov." Prime, and that Latrobe, nephew of Gen. Drayton, Is prob ably with him. Canker has been ordered to have sentry taken from Gray's tent and to have one placed over Sergt. Foley, a fa vorite of Canker, but Foley is already miss- OF "At least there's noimng 10 warrnu the posting of that sentry at Mr. Gray's tent, Col. Canker," said the brigadier, with some asperity. "Order him off at once. That's all for to-day, sir," and the man with the starred shoulders "held over" him with the silver leaves. The latter could only obey—and ob jurgate. But Canker's knuckles came in for an other rasping within the hour. The brigadier being done with him, the di vision. command'er's compliments came over per orderly, and would the colonel please step to the general's tent. Canker was fuming to get to town. He was possessed with insane desire to follow up that boarding house clew. He believed the landlady could be bul lied into telling where her boarder was taken, and what manner of man (or woman) he waa. But down he had to go, three blocks of camp, to where the tents of division headquarters were pitched, and there sat the veteran com mander, suave and placid as ever. "Ah, colonel, touching that matter of the robbery of your commissar}' stores. Su&iricion points very strongly to your Sergt. Foley. Do you think it wise to have no sentry over him?" "Why—general,*' said Canker, "I've known that man 15 years—in fact, I got him ordered to duty here," and the colonel bristled. "Well—pardon me, colonel, but 3*ou heard tbe evidence against him last night, oratleasthcardofit. Don'tyou consider that conclusive?" Canker cleared his throat and con sidered as suggested. "I heard the allegation sir, but—he made so clear an explanation to mc, at least, and besides, general"—a bright idea occurring to him—"you know that as commissary sergeant he is not under my command—" "Tut, tut, colonel," interrupted the eneral, waxing impatient. "The storehouse adjoins your camp. Your sentries guard it. Capt. Uanford, the commissary, says he called on you last night to notify you that he had placed the sergeant under arrest, but consid ered the case so grave that he asked that & sentry be placed over him, and it wasn't done." "I dislike very much to inflict such in dignity on deserving soldiers, general," said Canker, stuinblinginto a self-made trap. "Until their guilt is established they are innocent under the law." Apparently yon apply a different rule in ease of ollict-rs," calmly respond the general, "vide Mi\ Gray. A'o fur ther words are necessary. Oblige me by having that sentry posted at once. Good morning, sir." But to Canker's dismay the officer of the guard made prompt report. The sentry was sent, but the sergeant's tent was empty. The colonel's pet had flown. This meant more trouble for the colonel. Meantime Stanley Armstrong had hied him to Gen. Drayton's headquar ters. The office tents were well filled with clerks, orderlies, aides and other officers who had come in on business, but the medting was by appointment, and after brief delay the camp com mander excused himself to those pres ent and ushered Armstrong into his own private tent, the scene of the mer ry festivities the evening of Mrs. Gar rison's unexpected arrival. There the general turned quickly on his visitor with the low-toned question: "Well—what have you found?" Enough to give me strong reason for believing that Morton, so-called, is and tllat Story ai*mf Life IC«»r1|M. /•««. ky F.

Yet as he passed his hand wearily over liis forehead, the look of doubt and uncertainty slowly returned. "It accounts for the letters reaching me here," hp said, "but—I've known that boy from babyhood, Armstrong, and a more intense nature I have never heard of. "What he starts in to do he will carry out if it kills him." And Drayton looked drearily about the tent as though in search of something he didn't quite know what. Then he set tled back slowly into his favorite old chair. "Do sit down, Armstrong. 1 want to speak with you a moment." Yet it was the colonel who was the first to break the silence. "May 1 ask if you have hud tine to look at any of the letters, sir?" "Do I look at though I had time to do anything?" said the chief, dropping his hands and uplifting a lined and hag gard face, yet to refined. "Anything but work, work, morn, noon and night. The mass of detail one has to meet here Is something appalling. It weighs on me like a nightmare, Armstrong. No, was worn out the night after lha package raaehed me. Whin I •ought it the letters were gone." "llow long waa that, general?' in nls ofllolal tent, Gen. Drayton Joins a kit i»is personal tent-Mrs. cft£ nsott dclng tho honors as hostess. J1*-—Lieut. Gray la InYltei lo Join the I'rlme party, to go over In Mr. Primes carriage to see the review, but Is denied leave by Col. Canker, whom the regiment had nicknamed "Squeers." Va cant seat In carriage Is given Col. Arm strong. Again the weary handa, with, thai* long, tapering fingers, cunt up to tha old soldier's brow. Ha pondered a mo ment. "It must habeen the next afternoon, I think, but I can't be sure." "And you had left them—?" "In the inside pocket of thatold over coat of mine, hanging there on the rear tent pole," was the answer, as the gen eral turned half round in his chair and glanced wistfully, self-reproaohfully thither. Armstrong arose and, going to the back of the tent, made close examina tion. The canvaa home of the chief was what is known as the hospital tent, but instead of being pitched with the ordinary ridge pole and upright, a sub stantial wooden frame and. floor had first been built and over thia the stout canvas was stretched, stanch and taut as the head of a drum. It was all intact and sound. Whoever filched that packet made way with it through the front, and that, as Armstrong well knew, was kept tightly laced, as a rule, from the time the general left it in the morning until his return. It was never unlaced except in his presence or by his order. Then the deft hands of the orderlies on duty would do the trick in a twinkling. Knowing all this, the colonel queried further: "You went in town, as I remember, late that evening and called OBJ the Tbe letter boro tto clew to the whereabouts ef the writer. Primes and other people at the Palaot. I think I saw you in the suppar room. There was much merriment at your table. Afr&. Garrison seemed to be the life of ,the party. Now, you left your overcoat with the boy at the oloak stand?" "No, Armstrong, that's the odd part of it. I only used the oape that even ing. The coat was hanging at its usual place when I returned late, with mass of new orders and papers. No! no! But here, I must get book to the office, and what I wished you to aeowas that poor boy's letter. What oan you hope witfc a nature like that to deal with?" Armstrong took tho misaive held out to him and slowly read it, tie general studying his face the while. The let ter bore no clew as to the whereabouts of the writer. It read: "Marofc I, "It is six weeks slnoe I repalA all your loving kindness, brought sham* and sor row to you and ruin to myself by 4eMrt lng from West Point when my commission was but a few short months away. la an hour of intense misery, caused by a girl who had won my very soul, and whose words and letters made me believe she would become my wife the month of my graduation, and who, as I now believe, was then engaged to tho man she married in January, I threw myself away. My one thought was to And her, and God knows what beyond. "It can never be undone. My career It ended, and I can never look you in the faoe again. At first I thought I should show the letters, one by one, to the man she mar ried, an-d ask him what he thought of his wife, but that is too low. I hold them be cause I have a mad longing to see her again and heap reproach upon her, but, tf 1 fail and should I feel at any time that my end is near, I'm going to send them to you to read—to see how I was lured, and then, If you can, to pity and forgive. •tROLLIN." Armstrong's firm lips twitched un der his mustache. The general, with moist eyes, had risen from his chair and mechanically held forth his hand. "Poor lad!" sighed Armstrong. "Of course—you know who the girl was?" "Oh, of course," and Drayton shrugged his shoulders. "Well, we'll have to go," and led o& to the misty light without. Over across the way were the head quarters tents of a big parade, hope fully awaiting orders for Manila. To their left, separated by a narrow space, so crowded were the camps, were the quarters of the officers of the —teenth infantry, and even through the veil of mist both soldiers could plainly »ee along tJie line. Coming toward the gate was Mr. Prime, escorted by the major. Just behind them followed Mildred and the attentive Schuyler. But where was Miss Lawrence? Armstrong had al ready seen. Lingering, she stood at Billy's tent front, her ear inclined tohie protruding pate. He was saying some thing that took time, and she showed no inclination to hurry him. Miss Prime looked back, then she and Schuyler ex changed significant smiles and glances. There was rather a lingering hand clasp before Amy started. Even then she looked back at the boy and smiled. "fl'ml" MidtfcftgMtral, "iWt ynuaorater w&uldiri ww »lltm wnn any autoaltern in camp, even fi He under charges." There was no answer from the strong soldier standing oftaervant at his elbow. But when the chief would have moved Armstrong detained him, "One more question, general. In case you were away and wanted something you had left in this tent, you would send un aide —or orderly, or—would an order signed by one of yourataftbearufilolent?" "H'm, well—yee, I suppose it would said the general. CHAPTER XII. Opinion waa divided at Camp Merritt as to whether Billy Gray should or should not stand trial. Confident at were his friends of his innocence of all complicity in Morton's c&cape, there re mained the fact that he had telephoned for a carriage, that carriage had come and that a carriage with four men, ap parently soldiers, had driven rapidly townward along Point Lobos avenue, It was seen by half a dozen policemen as it shot under the electric light or gas lamp. Then there was the bundle inside his rolled overcoat that Gray had per sonally handed Morton when a prison er. Everybody agreed he should have sent it by orderly—everybody, that is, except some scores of young soldiers in the ranks, who could are no harm in it having beea done that way, especially two "Delta Sigs" in the—teenth. Then there were the long conferences in the dark. What did they mean'/ All things considered, the older and wiser heads saw that, as the lieutenant could would make satisfactory explana tion of these te his colonel, he should to a court—er take the conscquences. "You've made a si ess of the thing and an ass ef yourself, Billy," was Gordon's oomprehensive if not eoasolatory sum mary of the matter, "and as Canker has been rapped far one thing or another by camp, division and brigade com manders,one after another, he feels that he's got to prove that he isn't the only fool in the business. You'd better em ploy good counsel and prepare for fight," "Can't afford it," said Billy, briefly "and I'm blowed If I'll ask my dear old dad to come to the rescue. He's had to cough up (shame on your slang Billy) far too much already. I tell you, Gordon, I'm so fixed that I can't ex plain these things unless I'm actually brought to trial. It's—it's—well, you have no secret societies at the Point as we do at college, so you can't fathom it. I'm no more afraid of standing trial than I am of Squeers—and be to himl" "Good Lawd, 3*oungster—you, you aren't quite such an ass as to suppose a court is going to regard any schoolboy obligation as paramount to that which your oath of office demands. Look hyuh, Billy, your head's just addled I can't work on you, but somebody must!" And Gordon went away very low in his mind. He liked that boy. He loved a keen, alert, snappy soldier on drill and Billy had no superior in the bat talion when it came to handling ^quad or company. The adjutant plainly saw the peril of his position, and further consultation with hia brother officers confirmed him in his fears. Schuyler, tbe brigade commissary, being much with the —teenth—messing with them, in fact, when he was not dancing at tendance on Miss Prime—heard all this camp talk and told her. Thus it hap pened that the very next day when he drove with the cousins (Mr. Prime being the while in conference with the deteotives still scouring the city for the young deserter, who the father now felt confident was his missing boy), Miss X»awrenee looked the captain full in the face with her clear, searching eyes and plumped at him the point-blank question: MCapt. Sohuyler, do Mr. Gray's broth er officers really consider him in dan ger of dismissal?" "Miss Lawrence, I grieve to say that not one has any other opinion now.' There could be no doubt of it. Amy Lawrence turned very pale and her beautiful eyes filled. "It is a Bhaxne!" she said, after moment's struggle to conquer the trembling of her lips. "Ha&—is there no one—Influential enough—or with brains enough (this with returning eolor) to take up his case and clear him?" They were whirling through the beautiful drive of the Golden Gate park, passing company after company at drill. Even as Amy spoke Schuyler lifted his cap and Miss Prime bowed and smiled. A group of regimental of ficers, four in number, stood, apparent ly supervising the work, and as Miss Lawrence quickly turned to see who they might be, her eyes met those of Coi. Armstrong. Five minutes later the carriage returning drew up. as though by some order from its occupants, at that very spot. Armstrong and his ad jutant were still there and promptly joined them. Long weeks afterward that morning lived in Stanley Armstrong's memory. It was one of those rare August days when the wind blew from the south east, heat back the drenching Pacific fogs and let the warm sun pour upon the brilliant verdure of that wonderful park. Xarth and air, distant sea and dazzling sky, all seemed glorifying their Creator. Bright-hued birds flashed through the foliage and thrilled the ear with their caroling. The plash of fountain fell softly on the breeze, min gled with the rustling of the luxuriant growth of leaf and flower close at hand. It was sot chanco that brought the stalwart soldier instantly to Amy's side. Her gaze was upon him before the carriage stopped, and irresistibly drew him. The man of mature years, the hero of sharp combats and stirring campaigns with a fierce and 6avage foe, the commander of hundreds of eager and gallant men, obeyed without thought of demur the unspoken sum mons of a girl ye in her teens. There was a new light in her clear and beau tiful eyes, a flush upon her soft and rounded cheek, a little flutter, possibly, in her kind and loyal heart. Heaven knows his heart beat high with an emo tion he could not subdue, thougli his bearing was grave and courteous as ever, but about that sweet and flushing face there shone the halo of a woman's brave determination, and no sooner had he reached the carriage side than, bend ing toward him, she spoke. Mildred Prime could not repress a little gasp of amaze. "Col. Armstrong, will you kindly open the carriage door? I want to talk with you a moment." Without a word ho wrenched the handle and threw wide the door. Light as a bird oho sprang to the ground, her fingers just touching the extended hand. Side by side they strolled away across tbe sunlit lawn, he so strong, virile, erect, she ho lissome and grace ful. Full of her purpose, yet fearful that with delay might come timidity, she looked up In his face: "Col. Armstrong, I have heard only to-day that Mr. Gray is in really serious danger. Will you tell me—the truth?" Juet what Armstrong expected it might be hard to say. The ligbt that tei to hia ayes faded slowly ui, StoIm* niitfcVuj e( the filial 'Ji'- i"1 T* 9 robust health. -There waa a oner pause before he spoko as though he wished time to weigh his words. "I fear it is true," he gravel}' said. Then in a moment: "Miss Lawrence, will you not take my arm?" And he felt her hand tremble as she plaord it there. Tt waB a moment before she be gan again. "They tell me he should have counsel, but will not heed. I have not seen him to-day. There is no one in his battalion, it seems, whom he really looks up to. He Is hendstrong and self-confident. Do you think he should—that he needs one?" And anxiously the brave eye* sought the strong, soldierly face. "It would seem so, Miss "Lawrence." She drew long breath. She seemed to cling a little closer to his arm. Then —straight came the next question: "Col. Armstrong, will you do me a great favor? Will you be his counsel?" ne was looking directly to the front as she spoke. Something told him what was coming, yet he could not answer all at once. What did it mean, after all, but just what he had been thinking for a week, that the girl's fresh yeung heart had gone out to this merry, hand some, soldierly lad, whom he, too, had often marked with keen appreciation when in command of his big company at drill. What possible thought of here could he, "more than twice her years have ever hoped to win? She had come to him in her sore trouble—and hex lover's—as she would have gonctohei father had he been a soldier schooled in such allairs. Armstrong pulled himself together with quick, stern self-com mand. Looking down, he saw tfeat her eye* were filling, her lips paling, and a rush of tenderness overcame him as he sim ply and gently answered: "Yea, and there is no time to be teat.' All these last days, it will he remem bered, Mrs. Frank Garrison with pret ty "Cherry Ripe" had found shelter at the Presidio. The palace -was so place for a poor soldier's wife, aad there wai no longer a grateful nabob aa a possible source of income. It is doubtiul indeed whether that mine could be lurthei tapped, for the effusive brother-in-law of the winter gone by had found dis illusion in more ways than one. Gar rison, busy day and night with his staff duties, had plainly to tell his capri cious wife that she had come withoul his knowledge or consent, and that he could not think of meeting the expense of even a two weeks' stay in town. could not account for her coining at all. He had left her with his own peo ple where at least she would be in com fort while he took the field. Hedesired that she should return thither at once. She determined to remain and gayly tapped his cheek and bade him have no concern. She could readily find quarters, and so she did. The regu lar garrison of the Presidio was long since afield, but the families of most of its oflicers still remained there, while the houses of two or three, completely furnished so far as army furnishings go, were there in charge of the post quar termaster. From being the temporary guests of some old friends, Mrs. Frank and her pretty companion suddenly "Anostiofio will knock !b«f SftidBUIv. opened housekeeping la ona of thi vacated homes, and all her witchery was called into play to make it the most popular resort of the younger ele ment at the post. Money she might lack, but no woman could eclipse her in tha dassle of her dainty toilets. The PresSdio was practioally at her feet be fore she had been established 48 hours Other peoples' vehicles trundled her over to camp whenever she would drive. Other peoples' horses stood saddled at her door when she would ride. Other oeoples* servants flew to do her bidding. TO BE CONTINUED.
