In her wild excitement, In her inco-
herent praise and lamentation and wrath
and Indignation, her voice, her sobs,
rang through the room and out along
the broad corridor. Even in their amaze
the two men heard hurried step ap-
preaching, a Emping, halting, painful
step, yet rapid and inpulsive. Quin, ab-
sorbed in his contemplation Of the ex-

strove to warn the tear blinded woman
of her presence; but Mrs, Cowan's ex-

hysteria; she was laughing and crying

then breaking forth anew in indignant

And then the doctor seized her and

sharp cry from The woman's lips, one

she had caught the girl in her arms.

speaker was Mrs. Belknap, and her soft
voice was tuned to a pitch Of almost
pathetic regret, They were talking of
Miss Maitland, who had Just been as
sisted to her saddle by the colonel. and
now, followed by the faithful Griggs
and escorted by Capt. Stryker, was rid
ing away homeward after a BRIEF call at
the post. Fort Rosgiter, once so hum
drum and placid and stupid" as the
ladies termed it, had been the vortex Of
sensations for a whole fortnight, and
one excitement had trodden On the heels
of another with such rapidly that people
were growing weary.
Perhaps the happiest man in garrison
was Capt. Stryker; he had refused TO be-
lieve in the guilt of Sergt. Gwynne when
Capt Wayne came to him to say that
there were men in his troop who openly
accused the sergeantof having that cher
ished seal ring secreted in his chest. So
confident was he that lie had gone with
the captain and Mr. Farnham to the
stables and there told Gwynne of the
charge against him. Gwynne flushed
hotly, denied the truth of the story, but
hesitated when asked if lie would allow
his chest to be searched. This was quick
~ noted by Wayne and Fdrnham, and
the search was insisted upon. Gwynne
then said there were few items in that
chest which he allowed no one to see; he
pledged his soldier word that they were
nothing but paper or two, some little
photographs and book. These he asked
permission to remove first; then they
might search. But Wayne sternly re-
fused. The sergeant turned very white,
set his lips, and hesitated still, until his
own captain spoke; then he surrendered
his key
Wayne and Farrham bent over the
chest while the troop first sergeant rapid
" turned over the clothing, books, ETC.,

compartment at one side, in which were
lying some small items-a pocket com
pass, pencil case, some keys, a locket

rolled the paper, and-there wasa massive
seal ring. 4 crest was cut in the stone,

A citizen of Markleysburg, our

interesting story, in which he tells
how the liquor laws are not upheld

meeting with any amount of first

ship officials conceived the idea of
arresting the vendors Of the wet goods
and accordingly brought them before
the Squire in the town. When the
parties were captured, jug of white
whiskpy was also taken, but instead
of taking it with the prisoners TO the
Justices Office it was set in the cool
grass bv the roadside for future con-
venience. The case was hotfy con-
tested before the Justice, the priso-
ners claiming the "original package"
decision let them out, as they brought
their whiskey from West Virginia
and Maryland. By the way this is

Well, the Squire concluded that
original package evidence was not

held the prisoners for court. In the
meantime the officers had clandes-
timely visited the original package

to deliver up the prisoners the alleged
