/ "Fve stayed too long already" said
Miss Travers, springing to her feet
s'Kate does not know I'm out, and will
be wondering what has become of her
sister" She laughed nervously. "Thank
you SO much for the music, MIR. Hayne!
Forgive nay running off so suddenly,
won't you, Mrs. Waldron?" she asked,
pleadingly, as she put her hand in hers;
and as her hostess treasured her she bent
and kissed the girls flushed cheek. Mr..
Hayne was still standing patiently by
the center table. Once more she turned,
and caught his eye, flushed, half hest
tated, then held out her hand with quick
impulse:
GOOD evening, Mr.. Hayne. shall
hope TO hear You play again."
And, with pulses throbbing and cheeks
that still burned, she ran quickly down
the lineto Capt. Rsyner's quarters, and
.twas upstairs and in her room in another
minute.
This was an interview she would find
tthard to tell to Kate. But told it was,
partially, and she was sitting now, late
ut night, hearing through her closed
door her sisters unmusical lamentations
hearing still ringing in her ears the re-
breaches heaped upon her when that
lister was quietly told that she and Mr..
Gayne had met twice. And now she
was sitting there, true to herself and her
resolution, telling MIR. Van Antwerp all
tbout it. Can one conjecture the sensa-
lions with which he received and read
that letter?
Mr.. Hayne, too, was having wakeful
night. He had gone to Mrs. Waldron's
10 pay dinner call, with the result just
told. He had one or two other visits to
make among the cavalry households in
garrison, but, after few moments chat
with Mrs. Waldron, he decided that he
preferred going home. Sam had to call
three times before MI. Hayne oDeyed the
luminous to dinner that evening. The
g1n was going down behind the great
range to the southwest, and the trumpets
were pealing retreat" on the frosty air,
but haynes curtains were drawn, and
he was sitting before his fire, deep in
thought, hearing nothing. The doctor
eame insoon after he finished his solitary
thinner, chatted with him awhile, and
Cnoked away at his pipe. He wanted to
talk with Hayne about some especial
matter, and he found it hard work to be
gin. The more he saw of his patient the
better he liked him; he was interested In
him, and had been making inquiries
Without his pipe he found himself unin-
spired.
