the cool air now gently stirring. The
cab stopped before the well remembered
steps, and Lane FASTENED to the broad
doorway. No need to ring; the portals
stood invitingly open. The gas burned
brightly in the hall and in the sitting
room to the left. He entered unhesitat-
mgly, and stood all alone in the room
where he had spent so many happy
hours listening to the music of her voice.
watching the play and animation in her
lovely face. He caught glimpse of his
own, gaunt, haggard, hollow eyed, in
the mirror over the old fashioned man
tel What was he that he should have
won creature so radiant, SO exquisite?
There was the heavy portiere that
shut of the little passage to the library.
His football made no sound in the deep,
rich carpeting. 1t was there she well
coined him that wonderful Friday after
noon-that day that was the turning
point, the eli. dix, of his life. Hank!
was that her voice, low, sweet, tremu-
lous in there now?- Hush! Was that a
SODA woman's suppressed weeping?
Quickly he stepped forward, and in an
instant had thrust aside the second por-
there; but he halted short at the thresh-
old, petrified by the scene before him.
Mabel Vincent, clasped in Gordon
Noel's embrace, her arms about his
neck, gazing up into his face with al
most worship in her weeping eyes, raised
her lips to meet the passionate kiss Of
his. My darling" he murmured, what
can you fear? Have you not given me
the right to protect you? And the
handsome head was tossed proudly back,
and for one little minute was indeed
heroic. Then. with instantaneous change,
every drop of blood fed from his face,
leaving it ashen, death like.
Gordon she cried, what is it? Are
you ill?"
Then, following the glance of his star
ing eyes, she turned and saw and swooned
away.

"1ell me truly and frankly, Capt. Lane"
A dreary winter was that of 1873 at
old Fort Graham. Capt. Breese became
major of the til, and his troop was
ordered to exchange with K, which had
been SO long at headquarters, and this
brought old Jim Rawlins up to take COM
mand of the little cavalry battalion at
"the oasis" There were many of the
officers-Rawlins among them-who
thought that after his success with "the
Devils Own" as D troop had been called,
Lane was entitled to enjoy the position
of battalion commander; but Mrs. Riggs
had promptly asserted her belief that he
was not in position to enjoy anything.
He had come back to the post late in the
fall, looking some years older and graver;
he had been very i'll at Jefferson bar
racks, said letter from that point,
while waiting to take out party of re-
cruits to the regiment; he had resumed
duty without word to anybody of the
matters that had so suddenly called him
east, but there was no need of telling:
they knew all about it; at least they said
and thought they did.
Mrs Riggs had had such complete &C
counts from Noel, and had received such
a sweet letter from Miss Vincent in re-
ply to the one she had written congratu-
lating her upon her engagement to her
(Mrs. Riggs "favorite among all the
officers-and the colonel's too" "She
was so sorry-so painfully distressed
about Capt. Lane" said Mrs. Riggs.
"She never really cared for him. 1t was
gratitude and propinquity and pleasure
in his attentions that she mistook for
love; but she never knew what love was
until she met Gordon. They were to be
married early in the sprii' 3; and would
take only a brief tour, for he had to be
at his station. She dreaded coming to
the regiment, though she would follow
Gordon to the end of the world if he
said so, for she knew there were people
who would blame her for breaking with
Capt. Lane as she had to; but she knew
long before she did so that they could
never be happy together. She had
written to him, telling him all, long be-
fore he came east, and they had that
dreadful scene in which Mr. Noel had
behaved with such perfect self command
and such excessive consideration for
Capt. Lanes feelings. OF course, as
Gordon said, all possibility of reconcilia-
ton or future friendship between them
was at an end unless Capt. Lane humbly
apologi2ed. She lad been mercifully
spared hearing it; for the fearful ex-
preston of his face when they discovered
him listening at the portiere had caused
her to faint away, and she only came to,
Gordon said, in time to prevent his
pitching him ont of the window, so ut
terly was he tried. She was so thankful
to have in Mrs. Riggs u friend who
would not see Gordon wronged, and
who conld be counted ON to deny any

HOSTILE INDIANS MOVING.
PREPARING FOR AN ATTACK
ON GEN. BROOKE.
The Red :aters of United states
Reef are Insolent and Reticcnt.
Two Suspicious signs They
Kave Plenty Of Ammunition.

FIT. SuLI.Y, S. d., Nov. 26.-It is cvi
dent from the developments of the las,
twenty-iour hours, that the hostile In
dians from Grand River, Cheyenne, Rose
bud and Pine Ridge agencies are massine
at the same point for stand against til,
troops under General Brooke.
From squawmcn just in from Zicbacl
county, il is learned that bands of rcd.
men in war paint have been passing
through that country for several days
moving southwark. They were well
armed with Winchester rifles, had plenty
of ammunition and were well equipped
with ponies. They were uniformly inso-
lent and rcticcnt.
The squawmcn have been threatened
with death by the hostlcs and are run
ming away from their Indian compan-
ions and giving up the secrets Of the
Sioux. They have been excluded from all
ghost dances and are subjects OF special
hatred.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Thc war de-
partmcnt this morning received news
that the Cheyenne river Indians have
abandoned their ghost dance and came
in for rations. This is regarded as the
most hopeful sign of the abatement of
excitement. Great benefit is believed to
have resulted from the employment
of friendly Indians as government
scouts and the department has Just au.
thorizcd Gen. Miles to increase the Ium-
her OF such scouts in the department of
Dakota to 1,20O. 1t is said at army
headquarters that a payment of S13 per
month to each Indian scout with the
privilege Of wearing blue army blouse
and an acknowledged connection with
the United Statesgovernment are induce
ments toopowerful for the average Indian
to resist. This was demonstrated in the
celebrated Crow outbreak. Twelve hun.
drcd scouts enlisted will, it is hoped,
exert a strong peaceful influence through
their family and tribal relations.
A Chicago special indicates that at the
Pine River agency, the Indians are worse
scared than the whites and are constan
shifting their quarters for fear of an at
tack from the soldiers.
