First, Sergeant Merriweather, whom the sergeant of the guard had in- quiseé for just after visiting sentries, and solely because a light was burning 80 late in his window. The second was the new trooper, Hunter, found moarly 800 yards away from his proper post, blinded, senseless, bleeding and half drowned. The Kid had told the plausi- ble tale that ‘‘him and three other fel- lers was sneaking off to town for a lark’’ when detected. Merriweather de- clared that he had heard horses stamp- ing and snorting in the stables and had considered it his duty, though no longer stable sergeant, to go and investigate, and that he saw no sentry on No. 6, | but hunted up and down for him, won- dering where he could be, and was so occupied when the explosion occurred. Bat Hunter had not yet been approach- ed. There were reasons why it was deemed best to let him suppose no sus- picion attached to him. * For, no sooner was it light enough to the morning aiter the explosion, than Atherton had some of his best offi- scouring the prairie for traces. They found bricks, bullets and unexplod- seo, cers | ed boxes of cartridges all over the neigh- borhood, but not one of the 40 revolvers and only 20 of the 80 boxes of carbine, rifie and revolver cartridges that should have been there. Of the barrel of rifle powder ard half barrel of cannon car- tridges not a vestige, of course, remain- ed. All this was brought out by the board, and, the board’s findings having been sent to department headquarters, Atherton, as has been said, had gone off on leave; so had Stannard, and tiis left Mainwaring ip command. ‘Nota word, not a hint to that fellow until I tell you,’’ said Mainwaring tu the post surgeon, who, an older man and amajor senior in sank by several years, was nevertheless his inferior in _ the eyes of military law and regulation, he being debarred from assuming com- mand. And so, as Hunter grew stronger every day and watched with eagerness ' for the coming each morning of the young devotee, there dawned upon him no ray ef suspicion of the toils that were surrounding him, for Miss Leroy, who used to talk at home of her pupil . patients, had become silent as to one at least and uncommupicative as to all, for Mrs. Mainwaring of late had ex- pressed her disapprobation in no meas- ured terms, and there was no longer that sweet accord which should obtain between aunt and niece. One bright morning the doctor bade | Hunter lay aside the shrouding bandages | eutirely and wear only a grecn shade | over the eyes. Orders were orders, but when Miss Leroy entered and, as usual, spoke to him a daiuty handkerchief was pressed to his face. The light, he said, was ‘still too dazzling. ‘* But you are much better,’’ said she in ber clear tones. ‘‘The doctor says you can soon return to light duty, probably | before Christmas.’”’ TEA SEITS WD "os pss. ri “? sf e+ > } Mi ‘ . “ : } Caroag2 nisik: 0 srivorers, arl vy: dy Seuisty tis biyiazy oavis in tris ari we > . 1 . , : are got th? iow seilinspsopie that every | kaows we are.

He hardly paid even faint at- tention to what she was saying until something in the names struck him as familiar. All the foremost part of the paragraph had passed unheard, unheed- ed, but now—now only by strong effort could he restrain himself from sitting bolt upright in bed and reaching eut and seizing the paper and reading for himself, for what she read, when once again he became conscious of her words, was this: **The overturned yacht now lies in 40 reet of water, her taper masts and upper rigging all that remain visible. Mr. Hunter is doing well, carefully attended by Dr. Lambert at the Hotel des Am- bassadeurs. The bodies of Mrs. Hunter and her unfortunate friends will doubt- less be recovered this morning. ‘The la- dies were caryht in the cabin when tie Amorita Was struck, and « +] impossible.

Darcy Hunter bad eurvived the wreck of his business, the wreck of the | Amorita—bad survived even bis young, a with whose remains, he would return te light hearted wife, said the paper, America at ouce, CHAPTER XI. That evening when the surgeon wat making his visit to the hospital tho steward told bim Trooper Hunter desir- ed to speak with him, and, halting somewhat in his gait and looking very pallid still, but otherwise little tho worse for wear, the tall soldier was ushered into the dispensary. The junior medical officer, for reasons the senior could not quite fathom, had on several occasions recently scnior 1f he did not think Hunter fit t return to light duty and gave his opi icu that be was getting soft and lazy there. The post surgeon, for reasons the juior could not fathom at all, replied | that he thought it might be several day: before he should permit Hunter tp re: turn to his troop. This in nowise added to Jayne's good will toward his gentle- manly and attractive patient. Hunter was fortunate in having won the syin- pathy of the senior. Tonight be wov something more. Standing bolt upright at the door, he said: ‘‘May I speak one moment with the colonel in private?’’ The surgeon almost blushed as hb: whirled toward the speaker. All tbrous:- the war of the rebellion he had served a gallant, skillful, devoted officer, evci seeking duty at the front, ever ready night or day to brave peril, hardship or fatigue to go with his regiment int action. Time and again he had dashes with them into battle. More than ouce he had cheered them ia headlong chargé until recalled to himself and duties that bade him sheathe the sword for the scalpel. Scorning to leave his wounded, be had fallen with them into the hands cf the enemy and bad starved with them at Andersonville. Once he bad been seriously wounded as he knelt be side a strickez comrade on the battle line. Twice he had been offered hos- pital duty at Annapolis and Washing- en and declined. From one end of the war to the other he had been known gmong the men as the fighting doctor, snd the fame had followed him to the far frontier, where in one long and fierce campaign against the Sioux he had spared himself no hardship that the bumblest soldier had to endure, and the cavalry swore by him—aye, and the | gone. } j | asked the fh every form.
