form rauks—tke quick, stirring assem-
bly. ‘*Did you see Doyle? He was looking you, Huntcr,’’ chirruped a little ‘You're bicwing, man.
W bere you running from?’’ But Hunter made noreply. Hooking | the collar cf his overcoat and buttoning
it throughont, be stepped quietly to the | point where the ceuici cf bis troup usia-
ally formed for roll call, for his place in | ranks was close Lebind a tall corporai who marked the left of the first platoon. The first sergeant, silent and solitary, his swinging lantern in his hand, stood a few yards away, gazing out acro:s the dim parade at the bright lights in the distant quarters of the cfficers. The soldierly form of the second lieutenant could be dimly diseerned a few yards beyond the sergeant. To the right and left, in front cf the other barrack build- ings, big black groups of men were
|
gathered and sergeants’ lights were gleaming, all awaiting the next signal.
| Suddenly igfcame, quick, rippling, mer- “‘Fall in,’’ were the boarse words | growled from half a e-7en goldier throats. Tie groups caickly resclved tbemsclves into two lung columns cf files that faced to their left the instant the music ceased and stood motionless | While, with the ease and rapidity of daily practice, tho sergeant called the roll, ;
The noncommissioned bead of the sor- rel troop twice repeated one name ina questioning, surprised tone, then faced his lieutenant and reported, ‘‘Sergeant Merriweather absent, sir.’’ The officer acknowledged the salute, said, ‘‘Dis- | miss the troop,’’ and, facing about, , found himself confronting the unexpect-
ed apparation of Captain Ray and heard | in the soft dialect of the Blue Grass bis | Captain’s words:

And while Lientenant Scott went away to report the result of roll call to the adjutant and tho sergeant again faced his company Hunter felt bis heart | sink within him. Already Merriweath- er, then, had managed to get word to his captain, and the captain was there to wreak vengeance on him, the luckless offender. In violation of the strictest articles of war he, Hunter Gray, had struck down his superior officer and was now to suffer the penalty of the law.
‘*You bear, Hunter, the captain wants | you.’ Then ‘‘Break ranks! March!”’ was the order, and the troop, cohesive and compact but the moment before, dissolved at the word and fell to pieces, | leaving the mew member standing all | alone. For one moment he remained | there to pull himself together; then, nerved to face the worst, strode out to | meet his fate, his heart thumping in bis | breast.
‘*Hunter,’? said the captain, ‘‘did 1
n speak of this to a soul, unless yon |
not understand you to say that you were a total stranger west of the Missouri | and that you had neither friends nor enemies out here?’’
**Yes, sir,’’ was the trooper’s reply, his hand still at the cap visor.
‘Then how did you come te know that prisoner in the lot brought in by the sheriff?’

‘“‘Nothing mere than ercrybcdy else, sir—thatit took placeand that’ — But yere again he hesitated.
‘*Well, that what, Hunter?’’ said Cap- tain Ray, noting the soldier’s significar ; pause.
‘‘Nothing more, sir. I met one cf the prisoners at Pawnee in a restaurant some few weeks ago. 1 never saw him before, and I’ve never seeu him since— except that day.’’

Ray frowned. Another instance of | Merriweather’s falling off since Bis | marriage.
‘“‘What excuse had he for his ab- sence?’’ was the bricf question.
‘*Well, sir, his wife says that be had met with a mishap—had a fall in the dark. But it looked to me mora likea blow, and be couldn’t deny it, sir.’’
