Putting and painting, a long, long train
had wound under the wooded bluffs and
was kissing at the station platform at
the foot Of the curving road that led to
the broad plateau of the fort. And now
lights were dancing and cleaning every

rapidly, silently leading horse after
horse up tho wooden ramps, or chutes,
and into the dark depths Of the cattle
cars. Many a trooper stopped n moment

pattipg him on neck or shoulder and
striving to explain to him how it hap
pened that he was stirred out from his
warm stable at this unseemly hour and
marched into prison pen on wheels be-

prevailed Only when some excitable,

sound. Then the sharp crack of the

Pallid and wan the first faint CLEAN of
the coming day was stealing slowly into
the eastern skies. Far away down the
broad valley the mist was creeping from
the slow moving, silent stream. Peace
and slumber and solitude lowered over
the wide acres where the tasseled corn
had waved in the summer breeze and
the bearded rye and bristling wheat had
ripened and bleached under the fervid
touch Of the summer sun. In the barn
yards and sheds the cattle still crouched,
browsing and budding for warmth. In
the orchards and among the naples and
beeches the bluebirds and jays and be-
lated robins still perched among the
autumn leaves, their heads tucked away
under sheltering wings. Under dew
laden hedgerows the mother bird nestled
her little brown brood, and Bob White
still dozed away the dark hour that pre-
cedes the dawn. All over the placid,
pophlous valley without the reservation
lines the wings of night were spread.
All through the streets of the thriving
county town only the tread Of the watch
man walked the echoes, only the glim-
mer of his lamp was seen. The waning
moon, dim, mist bedraggled crescent,
had peeped up over the shadowy forest

Daylight at last, but the sun is hidden
in banks Of dripping mist. Daylight
wan and chill aud cOmfortless, and the
bleary lamps still smoke and flicker
about the parade. Daylight, yet with
out one spark of gladness. Even the
birds huddlein the shelter of the autumn
foliage, now so crisp and brown, ana not
so much rs q chirp is heard. All around
the big quadrangle night lamps are still
aglow within the shaded windows, tell
ing of sleepless vigil, of pallid cheeks
and tear dimmed eyes. Only in the bar
racks of the men or the lively dens of
the bachelor subalterns do the windows
blaze, uncurtained, undismayed. There
no silently weeping wives, no clinging,
sobbing little ones, crying because
mamma cries" yet little dreaming for
what cause, no thought of "What will
come to these should | never RETURN
daunt the spirit Of the soldier. There
all voices are ringing with eagerness,
even exultation, as the mon brace on
their woven cartridge belts and toss over
their brawny shoulders carbine sings
and the straps Of canteen and haversack,
and then come streaming forth upon the
galleries mufiled to the chin in the blue
cavalry overcoats.
Out on the parade the trumpeters are
gathered under the moist folds Of the
flag, awaiting the signal to sound "as-
sembly," and now the band comes
marching in through the morning mist
and the adjutant strides forth from the
Office door. Merrily, brisllly the stirring
peal bursts from the bells of the brazen
trumpets. Promptly the blue overcoats
leap into ranks. Sharply they face to
/ the left, and the stern voices of the SER
geants can be heard calling the rolls
! the "here," here Of the men respond
ing in animation and hilarity sometimes
so marked as TO call forth a frown Of re-
buke. The troop commanders and their
/ subalterns have fastened to their COM
pany grounds. The major has just
come forth from his dimly lighted hall
and is joined by the colonel at the gate,
and now, slowly, these two are pacing
out to the parade. On many Of the YER
andas dim feminine forms, mantled in
heavy shawl or cloak, have gathered in
/ the gloom. Some can DO seen fitting
/ ghostlike through the mist, seeking
