TIE girl looked up nt the 8ky
petulantly. She kept in the
Khuilow as much ns possible,
but the moon tonight was at
the full, the sky was nearly cloudless,
and thus her errand was rendered tho
more perilous. Itwas June, yet far above
the small plateau on which the army
post was built snow lingered on the si
lent mountain peaks. These glimmered
In the moonlight of a silvery whiteness,
illusive and unearthly, as if the great
and solemn summits were now, while
men slept, tho watching place of guard
Ian angels. The mountains leaped sud
denly from the plateau, blackly bowl
der flanked, with depths of dark and
lowering woods. In a still deeper black
was marked the line of the canyon's
descent, where the melting snows of
thousands of winters had bitten into
the rock with deathless ferocity. At one
solitary point upon that inky line the
girl noted where the moonbeams
gleamed upon a cataract, whose foam
sparkled in the light, a diamond set in
ebony. Thence the waters tumbled
down until, from the roar of rage, their
tired voices softened and sank to the
querulous babble of the creek as it ran
below the bank on which she stood.
The girl delayed cautiously iu the
shadow of the last house on the creek's
side within the limits of the post. At
last there fell upon her anxious ears
the call of the trumpeter at the adju
tant's office, almost immediately fol
lowed by the bugles at the flagstaff,
with the first call for tattoo. She ran
to the edge of the shadow, then tripped
across the stopping stones and van
ished in the woods which covered the
island formed by the forking of the
stream just above the post.
It stretched a mile in length, of vary
ing breadth. Over its whole surface
spread a tangle of thicket and scrubby
oaks, so that eren by daylight a wan
derer would be completely hidden in its
recesses from the people of the post
By night a battalion could have scat
tered over it aud remained uususpect
ed. The girl pushed her way boldly
forward, undeterred by the silence of
the thickets, the solitude and the dark
ness. She followed a rough and stony
path as if she were certain o£ her road.
Still, when she reached a little spring,
which bubbled in a clear space just be
side the path, she hesitated, put down
the basket she had been carrying on
her arm, and bent forward, listening In
tently but from the thicket about her
no sound came. The girl put her fin
gers in her mouth like a boy, and from
her Hps came one long, soft whistling
note. A bird sprang from bush near
her and aroused some others by Its
flight otherwise there was no response.
The girl stamped her foot angrily.

go back, Tvhen Bhe paused again. From
the center of the island there floated
through the night the music of a violin.
The girl's face instantly changed from
anger to relief and joy. She left the
path and ran In the direction of the

music. In a minute or two she had
reached the player and thrown one arm
about his neck, while with the other
she snatched away the bow.
"You foolish boy," she whispered,
"they will hear you across the creek.
Why did you bring the violin anyhow?
They will track you all the better if
you are seen carrying it."
"Could I go without it?" he asked in
Burprlse. "Did you whistle? What
tiny is it, Katy? Listen—taps."
i*P^Hey were silent, clasping each oth
'^nds until the call ended. The
violin player sighed.
"I shall never hear it again," he said,
"I hope."
"Well," said the girl practically, "if
you don't waut to hear the bugles
again you must be off at once."
"Not yet, Katy, dear," he said. "Give
ine the bow, and I will play you a fare
well—no, not a farewell, only a song to

The girl shook her head and held tho
bow away rrom ills reaching hand. The
moonlight burst through the leaves
above and shone upon them. He was
ill the army uniform. His cap bore the
band's device. He was very young, al
most a boy. His form was slight. His
smooth face was lit up by two great,
fat away, brown eyes. The girl was dif
ferent. Iler willful face was strong.
Her black eyes glowed with passion
and purpose. There seemed -little in
them to respond to the dreaminess of
the lad's. Yet now she threw her arm
round his neck and patted his cheek
affectionately, protectingly.
"I believe you love your violin more
than you do ine," she whispered. "What
an idea, Noel, it was for you to enlist.
I always hated a deserter, but with
you—it is different."
"I am free," he cried in exultation.
"Not quite yet," she said, petting his
cheek as if he were a child, and then
opened her basket.
"Bat now," she said, "and I will tell
you all I have heard. I don't think
they would even bother to send out
after you Jf it were not for Lieutenant
Wynn, tho adjutant. It is not as if you
were a trooper in the ranks. You play
the fiddle very beautifully and the cor
net In the band fairly well but, you
know, an ablebodied private is worth
five of you."

which is the same thing, ana you know
what he is. I am afraid when* he finds
you missing at tattoo he will send out
a detail. That is why I said you must
be off at once. I have mapped out your
road. You have plenty of money, but
you ought to leave the violin behind."
"I couldu't," said he quietly.
"Very well," she said, "but look."
From the bottom of the basket she
took out some citizen's clothes.
"Of course you won't keep to the
trails," she said, "but even on the plain
unlil you reach the railroad you must
not wear the uniform."
"You are my angel," he said. "I nev
er thought of It 1 just wished to
go away, to be alone with the violin,
far from those—those fellows—to be
free."
"I know, dear," she said sympathet
ically—"I know. The army Is no place
for you. Now you must be off."
"Katy," he said, "couldn't you come,
too—now, I mean?"
She shook her head and laughed.
"When you are settled down, wher
ever it Is, write, and I will come. I
promise, Noel."
"My dearest, it won't be long."
Before the last note of taps had died
Badly away in the hills there was si
lent bustle at the stables. Sleepy and
growling men were throwing the sad
dles on the horses and leading them
out until half a troop was formed. As
they came Corporal Healy turned to
the sergeant in charge.
"An* what the divil's eatin* the adju
tant now, sergeant?" he asked, with a
yawn.
"Deserter," said the sergeant briefly
—"Faval of the band."
Healy swore gently.
"A bandsman, the wee man that
plays the fiddle! Is it him we're mak
in' all this fuss about? Begab an' be
gob, there's been ten good men taken a
walk in the year, an' we let 'em go, an'
now we're ufter a half built man,
fiddler, whin the blankets is hungry
fur us. Let him go."
"So say I," said tho sergeant sullen
ly. "Prepare to mount! Mount! Bight
by twos, march! No talking."
They left the post and silently trot
ted down the road to the creek. There
they advanced by files and crossed to
the Island. One by one they disap
peared In the shadows of the scrub
oaks.
"Katy, Katy," said the deserter,
am free, yet not free. Until you come
to me my heart must still be in the post
with you."
He had eaten, had been In the thicket
and changed his clothes bad received
his last instructions from the girl on the
road he should go, and now they wero
standing again in the moonlight, and
his. arms were round her.
They stayed a little while yet, and
from across the creek came the hoarse
voices of the sentries on post, "Half
past 10, and ail's well!"
"Now, Noel, now. You must have a
good start They won't go after you
until morning, and by that time you
should have bought a horse and be well
on the way to the railroad. Goodby,
dear goodby! What? Listen! What
was that?"
They separated suddenly and stood,
UpB apart, listening. Down the island
were a crushing of leaves and a crash
ing of branches and the snort of a
horse. The deserter's face blanched,
and he threw his arms up despairingly.
"Already!" he cried. '"They have sus
pected it already!"
The girl's face, too, was white, but
she did not despair.
"Quick!" she whispered. "Make for
the canyon—the mountain! Quick! They
will only search the island! Quick!
Quick! Fly! Oh, Noel, fly!"
He hesitated he was bewildered.
"But where," he cried—"where is my
violin?"
She took it from the rock and gave it
him impatiently.
"Fly!" she said. "Oh, quick, quick,
quick!"
The trampling of the horses was now
•distinctly Heard and the command of
Sergeant Holmes, "To ten yards, close
distance!" The girl pushed her lover
from her, and at last he went She
turned and ran back to the creek. She
sank down with a cry of despair. From
the upper end of the island came the
noise of more horses, of another com
mand in another voice, that of Adju
tant Wynn.
She listened breathlessly, and soon
she heard a sharp challenge: "Who
goes there? Halt, or you'll be fired up
on! Faval?"
There were a pause, a momentary
scufile and a petulant, boyish cry of
rage. Thqn came the officer's quiet,
searching voice:
"Got hiin? Ah, I fancy he must be
cold lying out here. Take him to the
guardhouse, sergeant, where he can
get warm."
The girl, white and trembling, slipped
silently across the stepping stones.
"You fool," said Sergeant Holmes to
lils prisoner. "You should have been
miles away. What made you hang
around here? Do you suppose I wished
to catch you
The unhappy musician looked up at
the grim sergeant's scarred and ugly
face wrathfully.
"You are farther away from her than
ever now," he said.
Mrs. Malone's moods were at most
times uncertain, but for weeks she had
been without even a temporary relapse
Into amiability unless Indeed toward
the morose and taciturn. Sergeant
Ilolmes, Katy Malone, her daughter,
and First Sergeant Malone, her hus
band, found it more comfortable to be
out of the house as much as possible.
It was a month after the capture of
Noel Faval when Mrs. Malone found
herself alone with Holmes. That hap
pened frequently. The sergeant's visits
to Katy'B home were the gossip of the
post, for Holmes was not popular ev
ery one knew that his face was honor
ably scarred by an Indian knife, but
chiefly because of his gloom, his unso
ciability and the sudden storms of
passion which convulsed him when
crossed. Fifteen years in the service,
he had never made a friend and, the
men said, had saved the greater part
of liia pay, They added that his sav
lugs weu the sole reason he waB wel

"She's the dlvil' iv a darter, ^rgeant,

"I wish you would say nothing about
it," said Holmes uneasily.
Mrs. Malone wiped her eyes and
raised her finger.
"Ye 'ave been a good friend to Mike
an' me an' Katy," she said, "an' niver
a lad shall have the girl wid my lave

wee fiddler's out iv the way anyhow.
Should we be after hearln' the sintince
of the court martial, sergeant?"
The sentence? Faval? Any day

It'll be two years fur sure," she
went on, "maybe four, fur sp'akin
back to the adjutant himself. Two
years in tho prison at Leavenworth
will give Mistress Katy time to furget
him. Ye must be patient, Holmes, an'
fur the bit iv money ye've lint me"—
"Hang the money!" cried nolmes,
jumping to his feet. "Do you want
mo to wait two years for her, two
years more? Have I been coming here
so often for years and yet you cannot
understand? Mrs. Malone, Mrs. Ma
lone, I can't wait—I can't wait longer.
Since she was a child at the post
school I've loved her, and God knows
that I'd give my life for her, to do tho
smallest thing she bid me—the small
est. She liked me once. She' was
learning to love me—I know it, but this
—this thing, tbiB half French fiddler
bewitched her. And now you want
me to wait—two years. I can't. I—1
love her. I worship her. I—I'm burn
ing up. I'm mad about her!"
He frightened Mother Malone. ne
dropped back in his chair, hiding his
face in his hands. Tears trickled
through his fingers, and his big form
shook. Mrs. Malone, calloused and
withered by the loug struggle of years,
was not yet so hardened as uot to bo
touched by the man's naked avowal.
"Whatever the boys says, Holmes,'
she said softly, "au' they're an Ig'runt
lot iv min, ye're a good man an' a true
man, an' Katy ye'll have if her mother
has got a word to say."
The door burst open, and a young
ster came rushing in with a shout—lit

leader aud the delight and terror of the

"Mother Malone," he shouted, "have

"Ye rat!" cried Mrs. Malone. "Six

An* him stuffed full of mush and mo
lasses! Come here, ye wee divil, till I
spank ye."
The boy was used to varied marks
of affection, but he kicked vehemently
as Mother Malone caught him up, lift
ed hlin high and kissed him loudly on
each cheek.
"That's a nice way to behave to the
men!" he cried as he was let down,
rubbing his blushing cheeks. "What
would Malone say if I told him?"
"Eh! Hark to him!" laughed Moth
er Malone as she began to crack eggs
on the edge of the frying pan. "Is
there any news about Faval, Her
man?"
Holmes was on the threshold, pass
ing out, but turned to listen.
"Faval? Yes, Jt's a shame. No won
der he ran away, with the adjutant
and the band sergeant down on him
all the time, and he knows more"—
"What news?" asked Mrs. Malone
impatiently, and Holmes stood wait
ing.
"Why, the order was read out at re
treat—dishonorable discharge, forfeit
ing all pay and allowance and so on,
and three years in Leavenworth."
"Three years in Leavenworth," cried
Mrs. Malone—1"three years! Well, well!
Did ye hear that, Sergeant Holmes?
There's many a thing will be forgotten
in three years, Holmes."
But Holmes was already striding
away through the gathering dusk.
Holmes turned his back on the post
and strode out across the bluffs toward
the river. For a long, long time now he
bad been used to taking these solitary
evening walks, rain or shine, to tire
out the passion in his breast Scarred,
alone in the world since he remembered
anything, he had never loved a living
thing until now, aud, having loved with
all the might of a rushing, long sup
pressed flood, lie found he had dashed
himself against a rock. He had tonight
but one clear thought in his throbbing
head. Noel Faval was out of the way
out of the way—out of the way! The
words sang hi his ears. It gave him a
chance. For the slim lad Faval he had
nothing but contemptuous pity. He
was out of the way. Ills bewitching
music, his big brown eyes, his slender,
graceful form, would be heard and seen
no more. That fancy would be forgot
ten, and he (Holmes) would have an
other chance. So mused the sergeant,
and the devil of bitterness gradually
gave place to the angel of hope, and at
last by the bank of the river ho came
upon the girl. She was lying in the
grass, her face buried in her anus, her
black hair loose and her wlicle form
shaken with great sobs. Holmes drop
ped on one knee beside her and dared,
in his agitation, to lay his hand on her
head.
"Katy!" he said. "Katy, dear!"
She sprang up. Her great black eyes
gleamed angrily on him. She clinched
her hands.
"What do you want here?" she sob
bed. "Can't you leave me alone? I hate
you! It is you who did this!"
He hung his head passively aud quiv
ered.
"What have I done to make you hate
me, Katy?" he slowly whispered. "You
dldnH use to before—Faval came."
"And you urrested him!"
"Why did not the fool go away at
once? What could I do? I was de
tailed. It was my duty."
"And now they have sentenced him
to three years—him! lie will die in the
prison with those wretches he will have
110 music, nothing. It is horrible! You
have killed him, killed that bovi"
"Do you love him so much?"
The girl flushed in the starlight
"What is that to yon? I pity him."
A flash of renewed hope sprang from
bis heart to his eyes. Pity need not bo
love. For a moment his sight grew
dim, and the next lie was at her feet,
clutching her dress.
"Katy," he cried, "it is done! It was
his own fault. Forget him. He can
not have learned to love you as I have
loved you for years. Listen, listen!
Don't go away!"
The girl was in vain struggling to re
lease her dress, frightened now.
"I am—all the men say I am, per
haps," he cried, "surly and all that,
but—listen—you are the cause. For
love of you and thinking of you I keep
alone.- From the horror of losing vou
I .am sometimes half mad. Listen to
me now and tell me: Will ever any
man love you as I love? Will any one
4a for you what I would do?"

"Leave me, leave me!" she cried, but
he clung to her.
"I cannot charm you and bewitch
you with a pretty face and music, like
Faval," he went on, unheeding her.
"But 1 am a man and a true man. 1
claim that. Try me. Tell me what
to do to prove how much I love you.
Whatever It is 1 shall do it."
The girl's thoughts all the evening
had dwelt on one thing aloue—her be
wildered, anxious, wild thoughts. They
were yet in her mind, and now they
formed themselves, as at a word of
command. Into a resolve. She whis
pered to the man at her feet:
"Do you love ine so much?"
"I cannot tell how much."
"And you would do all you say for
me, for love of me?"
"Anything!" he cried, rising in a pas
sion of hope and seizing her hands.
"Save him!" she cried.
"Where's Katy?" Herman demand
ed ns he unceremoniously ran into
Mother Malone's house.
Don't be askin' me," cried Mrs. Ma
lone querulously. "What are ye want
In' wid Katy at this time lv ulght?
It'll be taps in a minute."
Cause I was dowu at the guard
house to see Faval tonight, and he's
worrying awful. He's to be taken to
Leavenworth in a day or two. So I
thought I'd Just ask Katy he was
stuck ou Katy just like me—to go and
cheer him up a bit I'm not jealous."
"Ye wee divil!" howled Mother Ma
lone, welcoming a chance to discharge
her wratli upon somebody. "An* it's

What's eating you? 1 want Bome ap

The angry woman charged upon him.

Gas stoves should never be used in

while an open fireplace encourages ven
