W know. He was present
at sick call, and imperturbable as ever,
on the following morning, and the few
officers who were at headquarters after
guard mounting were able to affirm that
the colonel had been courteous as usual
in his greeting to the medical officer, and
that nothing whatever had been said
about his being away so late the previ-
Gus evening. Capt. Stryker came home
soon after midnight, had brief talk
with his colonel, and went over to the
stables TO inquire into Gwynne's condi-
ton before he went to bed. Parke came
into Perry's room after morning stables,
and told him, as he was yawning and
stretching in bed, that the captain had
had quite long talk with Gwynne that
morning, and that something was up"
he didn't know what. Later in the
day Perry was sent for by Col Brainard
and found the commanding officer in
consultation with Capt. Strykcr and two
other troop commanders.
At their request he repeated the story
of his adventure at Dunraven. beginning
with his instructions to the men he left
at the gate. and ending with old Matt
lands swooning; and about an hour after
he had finished he saw the adiutant with
a small escort ride away down the valley,

"And it was nowhere to be found after

you were chatting and slapping that hand,

1.-THE reflection is not pleasant one,
DIR. Quin," said Perry, with an angry
light in the blue eyes.
Pardon me, Mr.. Perry; I put it awk-
wardly, but l mean no reflection what
ever Miss Maitland mentioned your eff
forts to restore the old gentleman to con-
seriousness, and together we searched the
sofa and the floor after we had put him

peculiar value, and its loss has preyed

to your correspondent that the next

erty at Dunraven would prefer to be

third party"
A quiet smile shone for an instant on
the doctors grave face:
II fear that have not accomplished
my mission very automatically, Mr..
Perry, and am sorry to have vexed you.
The colonel tells me, by the way, that
ought to say to you that the reason
was so long in reaching your party last
night was that l was detained attending
to another case-one of our own men.
Good evening, sir" And, raising his
forage cap, the doctor walked slowly
and with dignity away, leaving Perry
too surprised to speak.
'sThe colonel told him to tell me!' was
Perry's wondering soliloquy at last
'Then l suppose he must have told tho
chief some story to account for his being
away" 1t was pretty evident from tn,

struck him as being entitled to conf

SEEING EVERYTHING.
The Visitors Enjoying Themselves in an
American Manner.

BosToN, Oct. THE delegates to the
Pan-American congress left this morning
over the Boston & Maine railroad for
Lawrence and Lowell At Lawrence the
delegates inspected the Pacific cotton
mills and Russens paper mills. They
evinced deep interest in the workings. The
party started for Lowell at 100 They
returned early in the evening. The party
visited three concerns in Lowell and saw
5000 operatives atwork. The day had been
the first one of solid business upon the lines
and within which the international con-
gress was projected. The foreigners, in
several instances, have placed themselves
in closer relation with the manufacturing
interests they have visited. They have
talked of prices, terms and business meth
DDS with the heads of establishments
visited. Mexico, for instance, indicated an
interest in carpets, and Costa Rica has
scrutinized prints. Upon their arrival
here they were driven to the theatre where
the evening was spent.
