story is located in the Black Hills of Dako-
ia, where in lovely valley, hemmed in by
rugged heights, strong battalions of infantry
have pitched their tents, and near at hand
swarm their comrades of the cavalry, and
biyouac fires twinkle everywhere through the
timber. 1t has been the toughest of rough
campaigns. replete with suffering one day
and sharp fighting the next; but now they
are resting from their labors, placidiy wait
ing orders for the next move, and group of
officers have gathered round two comrades
just arrived, one of them Capt. Blake. the
hero Of the story, who Is greeting man after
man in hearty, jubilant manner; the other
Is Lieut. Hollis, who figures largely in the
narrative. 1t is a story Of the love of Gerald
Blake for very beautiful, but unprincipled,
woman, with graphic account of society
life at the quarters. and many amusing and
tragic incidents and occasional sharp fighting.
There are many and various characters, the
most of them of considerable interest. The
story is told in bright and natural manner,
is full OF life, color and movement, and shows
with much clearness the poetry and romance
of soldiers life, and ends happily for Its
hero, Capt. Blake. The volume is illus
trated by A. f. Harmer.
