“Fossioiy Gaptein Kay will explain it,’’ was the answer, and the serenity of the applicant remained unrufiled. _ **Oh, very well,’’ said in spite of his better nature Captain Ray if you wish.”’ But even as he spoke the hall door opened and in burst Major Mainw aring. rhere is no other way

inajor’s method of entering a room. It

has been said that he was blunt both in

peech and in action.

of his life, no amount of domestic pol-

ish had ever succeeded in smoothing off |

the rough edges-of thecamp. Mainwar- ing prided himself everything he said and did. Men ané women who knew him well knew there was a mine of genuine kindness and goodness under the rugged surface. Men and women who heard him speak for he first time declared him a brute.

‘“What you got here?’ blurted Main- waring, glaring at the sergeant major and his silent companion.

‘*‘Man wants to enlist, sir,’’ was the reply.

Now, Mainwaring was not the re- cruiting officer of the regiment. He was in nowise responsible for their selec- tion. He had been but a few months a member of the regiment himself, hav- ing, a8 has been explained, been pro- moted to it from another when Major Barry became lieutenant colonel, but it was a peculiarity of Mainwaring’s that he considered it his inalienable right to have a say in everything going on, and it wasn’t so much what he said as how he said it that made it obnoxious. He scowled at the very presentable new- comer as though words were inadequate to express his disapprobation, then grufiy demanded:

‘*Where you from?’

A flush went up to the forehead of the young man, and there was an in- stant’s hesitation, then in a very quiet

| tone he replied, ‘‘The east.’’

Major Mainwaring was studying him sharply, a suspicious light in his black ‘*Haven’t I seen you before?’’ he presently asked, the words tumbling all

| over one another’s heels.

**Not out here, certainly,’’-was the

tempered reply, though the blue eyes | were firing up and looking square into

the kindling black.

**Do you mean to tell me you haven’t been in service before?’’ The major’s precipitate style of questioning left

| barely time for answer.

But the civilian took his time and

| chose his words. ‘‘I do not mean to tell

~ou—anything, sir.”’

For a moment Mainwaring simply glared as though he could not realize the fgll significance of the words.

‘‘What in thunder do you mean by that?’’ he finally growled.

**Just what I have said, sir,’’ was the reply. ‘‘Five minutes ago I wished to enlist in this regiment; now I don’t. (jood day to you, gentlemen.’’ And, to the speechless amaze of the sergeant major, the suppressed delight of Dana and the profane astonishment of Main- waring, he calmly walked past the two officers, replacing his hat as he did so, and stalked deliberately into the hallway and out of the front door.

‘*Well, of all the chip on the shoul- der spscimens I ever saw, ’”’ loudly laugh-

ed Mainwaring, ‘‘that fellow beats the

, lot. What do you s’pose fired him off | so? I hadn't begun to say anything to bim. The man’s a dash dashed double

But he did, for just two days later

Captain Ray came cheerily into the of- | fice with enlistment papers in his hand. | ‘Dana, old boy, I’ve got a tiptop man | to be sworn in. This way, please, Hun- '

ter.’’ And there at the doorway stood the applicant of two days before Dana glanced over the papers. ‘‘Ar-

thur Hunter, born New York, by occu- pation a clerk, do hereby acknowledge te have voluntarily enlisted this sixth day of November, 188-, as a soldier in the wmy of the United States, ete., and do solemnly swear that I am 25 years and 7 months of ago, etc., and I, Arthur | Hunter, do solemnly swear that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the | United States of America, etc.’’

| Then Dana looked up at the dark eyes | and curling black mustache and ani- mated face of one of the crack captains in the regiment and from him to the si- lent, blue eyed and, as before, thorough-

embarrassment in the adjutant’s face. For a moment he hesitated, then turned to the would be recruit.

‘**Will you step outside a moment? I have to speak with Captain Ray.”’

He was instantly obeyed.

‘“‘] beg your pardon, captain,’’ said Dana, ‘‘but | have to ask a question or two. seen this man before and that he iss

spite his good looks. He refused to aa- awer for fimself two days ago.’’

**Yes, I know,’’ answered Ray smil- ingly. ‘‘ We all know how suave and en- couraging the major is apt to be to strangers. It's a wonder some wild west- erner hasn’t put a bullet through him. I’ve heard all about that interview.’’

‘“‘And — you’re willing to take chances? You're satisfied this man’s all right?’’

‘‘All right as men go, Dana. Wecan’t expect all the ‘vartues and timperance besides for $13 a month,’ as Mulligan said in the Mexican war. But this ap- plicant satisfies me that he means to

like a Kentuckian. I'll bet he oan fight, and it’s none of our business who he is, where he hails from or why he enlisted so long as be dces bis duty. Now I’m willing to take him.’’

And that settled it. Recruit Arthur Hunter was formally accepted as a member of the sorrel troop, took his first lesson with the ourrycomb and brush without a word, and, ‘‘ without turning a hair,’’ hisinitiation on Buck- ler, the meanest brute in the stable, and rode him barebacked to water despite furious plunges and wild howls of de-

light from threescore trooper throats. Furthermore, Hunter accepted barrack fare without remark and barrack chaff without remonstrance, and when 48 bours elapsed and his captain asked him bow he liked it the new trooper clicked bis heels together and said, ‘‘ Better than I hoped to, sir,’’ and then surpris- ed that officer by a request to be allowed to be absent until next day. Etiquette required that such favors should be asked through the first sergeant in writ- ing. The colonel’s consent bad also to be given, but Hunter produced in ex- planation a telegram received but half «=n hour before stables. That dispatch was addressed properly to Trooper A. Hunter, Fort Ransom, and said: ‘‘ Must move tonight. Will bring your things on No. 3,’’ and it came from Pawnee.

Captain Ray looked it over in some uncertainty. ‘‘ What things are these? he asked.

‘*A trunk, sir, and some other prop- erty, principally clothing.”

Colonel Atherton did not look over- pleased at the application of Captain Ray for permission for a new recrult to be absent overnight, but Ray was a fa- vorite. Sergeant Merriweather was g0- ing to Butte on pass after supper. Re-

Vrain No, 3, ‘The Owl,’’ the Pacific |

express, had been held up by robbers

about an hour earlier, just east of Ska

Ska. They were heading for the Dry |

Fork. _ The sheriff was trying to raise a posse In town, but it was slow work. For God's sake, couldn’t the cavalry go im pursuit? CHAPTER VL

A territorial governor is not an awe inspiring official ordinarily, but the sovernor of Wyoming, relieved of his ¥aluables at the point of the pistol, was aot slow in seeking redress. From Butte he wired full particulars of the robbery to the department commander, who was st Pawnee just back from an inspection of the Sioux agencies, 50 miles to the

Ray and Ray’s troop were the first fel- lows thought of.

‘*Let your men finish breakfast, ’’ said _ the colonel, ‘‘then—do your best.’’ And he handed the dark eyed Kentuckian the dispatch.

In an hour from that time Mrs. Ray, holding her baby boy in her arms, was gazing from the north window of her army home at some black specks on the far horizon, and little Sandy, tugging at | the skirts of her pretty morning wrap- | per, was coaxing for mother to hold him | up too, The sorrel troop were up and | away, heading for Wheelan Springs, on the Laramie trail, and bets were even | between Stannard and Mainwaring that ‘*Ray would nab the outfit before sun-

down.”’
