spectfully before them.
Because went through the quarters
just after tattoo last night to see how
the men had been cleaning up for today.
Their boots had all been carefully
BACKED, except the stable boots, and set
at the foot of the hunks, and their
blouses and trousers, except the ones
they had on, were brushed and folded
on their boxes. took particular note
of Welsh's, for he was stubborn about
cleaning his things, and about Goss',
too, for Goss has been surly ever since
he was made to drill and attend inspec-

through the door before he went to
sleep, but any man who wanted to could

side the reservation and get what liquor
he wanted, and come back the same
way. was one of the first, sir, to get

''The other corporal of the guard
came into my room to get my lantern,
and just as soon as they had carried
Brent to the hospital ran upstairs and
made an inspection. Welsh was there
in his bunk, undressed, and apparently
asleep. His boots and clothes hadn't
been touched. Goss was in his under
clothing, half awake. There were his
boots covered with dust, and in places
still damp with dew There were the
trousers that had been folded, lying
loosely across the box Goss swore that
he hadn't been out at all, but 1 pointed

man started up, as thoughin SURPRISE to

whisky slid from under his pillow"
But this was not all, said Wren. Scan
Ian and Murphy had admitted being
joined by trooper as they came ur
past the stables. He Joined them again
after they had reported at the guard
house trifle late, had given them a
drink of whisky from his flask, told
them the coast was clear and they might
just as well slip through the gate and
run across the parade: what was the
odds so long as no one knew it? But
the instant they heard Corp. Brent's
voice they started and ran until behind
the officers quarters, and then they
noted that their cavalry acquaintance
had staid behind. They did not know
his name at all; could not describe him
for it was too dark. All they knew wa:
that he was tall and had thick, bushy
beard. Welsh's face, except the blacl

gate.

1t was q lovely May morning, and
warm south wind was blowing through
the open windows of Capt. Lanes coy
quarters and billowing the dainty cur
tains of the breakfast room. Down in
the westward valley, close under the
bluffs, n white mist was creeping up
ward from the shadows of the stream,
and here and there among the burrows
OF the company gardens, and along the
railway embankment, little wisps of fog
lowered over the soaking earth 1t had
rained i'll torrents during the night, but
Nature emerged from her bath glowing
in the rays Of a sunrise that the officer
of the day pronounced simply gorgeous
as he turned out for reveille.
A man less joyous hearted than Capt.
I Lane might have found much to delight
him in such radiant morning. But
those sunrises were old stories to this
particular trooper, and though there
was hardly state or territory west of
the Missouri in which he had not turned
out with the lark and welcomed in the
new born day, he seemed just as keen D
worshiper of the sun god as in the buoy
ancy of his boyish days, when, nearly a
score of years before, he had first Joined
the Eleventh cavalry. He was a man
honored and esteemed in his profession.
He was well to do in the world, thanks
to the prudence and frugality of his
subaltern days. He had hardly care
in the world. He had charming quar-
tiers, had charming station. and he was
welded only during the year before to a
woman whom he devotedly loved, and
who believed that the world had never
contained man so true and tender and
noble as he.
A very lovely woman was Mrs. Lane,
and very sweet and winning hostess
she made when doing the honors of her
army home. There were those, to be
sure, who could detect species of ner-
vousness and a vague anxiety in her
manner at times, and there were people

women, possibly friends of some of the
post people, and this was not a matter to
be much objected to. But one buggy,
drawn by gray horse, contained two
men whose appearance Miss Marshall's
keen eyes had noted as they passed the
first time and closely scrutinized as they
came down the next. One was fiashy
in dress; both were load in their talk
and staggering in manner; both were
smoking cigars of questionable origin,

cut of the German Jew.

driving close alongside and perceptibly
slackening up to have better look.

Georgia Marshalls face is by no means

intelligence and life. Her mouth is

guard, that she should have been the

Out along the grassy slopes the live
Hest of trumpet calls were ringing. Long
lines of mounted skirmishers were adj
vancing in mimic attack against the
bluffs to the north of the wide valley.
Assembly and deploy, rally and charge,
followed each other in quick succession,
and the piff-paf of carbines far out on
the eastern flank was answered by
sweeping dash of whirling sabers and
thunder of galloping hoofs. Here and
there the bright hues of the guidons lent
color to the somber effect of service dress
and treeless prairie. And along the bold
crests that spanned the northern sky
line groups of gayly attired spectators,

were seated Mrs. Lane and her guest
Miss Marshall, with their near neigh

Several ladies from the fort had alight

patrintism WIN Prevail.

q
Juvenile patriotism still exists in Con-
necticut and cannot be easily exterminated
by the Jealous piety of the early-rlslng
deacons whose devoutly puritanical spirit
is manifested in some places.
When the er-glorious Fourth OF July
came around as usual promptly on schedule
time according to programme IN Con-
necticut this year the youthful American
citizens of Huntington desired TO celebrate.
As the same sort of an opportunity was not
expected TO return again for whole year
the immature but none the less enthusiastic
patriots wished 70 have fun.
Pursuant to these laudable and perfectly
legitimate purposes an understood member
of the community rang the village church
bell at o'clock in the morning. Possibly
that somewhat unreasonable hour was
chosen more as a striking reminder Of the
memorable date than for any other reason,
and the choice of church bell for the pur-
pose was probably owing to the lack of any
other accessible kind rather than to any in
tended disrespectful depreciation.
Nevertheless a proving sexton who
CHANGED to pass the church just at that IN
fortunate juncture had the enterprising
lad arrested, and the church people prose-
cuted the over-zealous little fellow. But
he is not without friends and sympathizers
Outside Of the church officers everybody is
his friend. To prove this the people have
chiDped in and engaged one Of the most
eminent lawyers in the Nutmeg state to de-
fend him. They have also begun to make
life little burdensome to the good deacons
who prosecuted the young patriot.
Indignation meetings at frequent inter-
walls during the continuance of the trial are
expressing picturesquely forcible adverse
sentiments that make the good brethren very
unhappy.
Absurdity is added to the case by the uni
form refusal of the village BARRIERS to shave
or shear the offending deacons last Sunday.
Consequently they had to go to meeting
looking decidedly rakish, which furnished
infinite amusement to the congregation in
general, and the ladies in particular. But
it did not tickle the tough-looking digni~
t4ries much. To add to their discontinue
all the "wimmen folks' have withdrawn
and refuse to participate in festival and
dance that had previously been arranged.
They have already advised the perplexed
deacons to have a stag dance. Even the
owner of the village hall has notified them
that they can't have the use of it for any
purpose. This leaves the hard-hearted
Christians in a very uncomfortable plight.
But it is no worse than they deserve.
Whatever way the case may end the citi-
zens have determined that those boys shall
have full-fedged Fourth of July with all
the customary trimmings Besides brass
band they are to have an GRAFTON, some
good singing and a sumptuous feast. So
the youngsters will fare really better than
if the deacons had not acted so harshly
toward one Of their number.
American patriotism cannot be sup
pressed, and it is not to be tempered with.
Especially should youthful ebullitions of
the noble sentiment be encouraged and
sustained.
