CHAPTER VII.

Before guard mounting, almost half
an hour before his usual time for ap.
pearing at the office, Colonel May
nard hurried into his desk, sent the or.
derby for Captain Chester, and then the
clerks in the sergeant majors room
heard him close and lock the door. AS
the subject of the shooting was already
under discussion among the men there
assembled, this action on the part of
the chief was considered highly signifi-
cant. 1t was hardly five minutes before
Chester came, looked surprised at find
ing the door locked, knocked and was
admitted.
The look on the haggard face at the
desk, the dumb misery in the eyes, tho
wrath and horror in it all, carried him
back 90 years to that gloomy morning
IN the classmates when the story was
passed around that Captain Maynard
had lost wife and an intimate friend
during the previous night. Chester saw
Mt glance that. despite his precau-
lions, the blow had come. the truth been
revealed at one fell swoop

old soldier, white and trembling strange.

covered his face with his hands. Twice

ton, and then had gone, unsatisfied and
disguised, practically turned out by
their grabbed senior captain. The la
dies, after chatting aimlessly about the
quadrangle for half an hour, had decid-
ed that Mrs. Maynard must be ill, and
while most OF them awaited the result
two of their number went to the colo
nel's house and rang the bell. A
servant appeared. MRS. Maynard
wasn't very well this morning and was
breakfasting in her room, and Miss
Alice was with her, if the ladies would
please excuse Them" And so the ennis
saries returned unsuccessful. Then,
too, as we have seen, despite his good
intention of keeping matters hushed as
much as possible, Chester's nervous IT,
ritability had got the better of him,
and he had made damaging admissions
to Wilton of the existence of o cause
of worriment and perplexity, and this
Wilton told without conjunction. And
then there was another excitement that
set all tongues wagging Every man
had heard what Chester said; that Mr..
Jerrold must not quit the garrison I'M
til he had first come and seen the tenn
porary commanding officer, and Hall
had speedily carried the news to his
friend.
care you ready to go?" asked Mr..
Jerrold, who was lacing his boots in the
rear room.
"'No. I've got to so and get into
'cits' first. -
"All right. Go and be lively! I'll
wait for you at Murphy's beyond tho
bridge, provided you say nothing about
it"
"You don't mean you are going
against orders?"
"Going? OF course am. I've got old
Maynards permission, and if Chester
means to revoke it he's got to get his ad-
jutant here inside of 10 seconds. What
you tell me isn't official. I'm off nowW
And when the adjutant returned to
Captain Chester it was with the infor-
nation that he was too late. Mr.. Jer-
rold's dogcart had crossed the bridge
five minutes earlier.
Perhaps All hour later the colonel sent
for Chester, and the captain went to his
house. The old soldier was pacing slow
ly up and down the parlor floor

thing has happened. You know that
'directoire' cabinet photo Of Alice? My
wife always kept it on her dressing ia
ble and this morning it's gone. That
frame - the silver 1iligreo thing-was
found behind sofa pillow i'll Alice's
room, and she declares she has no idea
how it got there. Chester, is there any
new significance i'll this?"
The captain bowed assent
"What is it?'
''That photograph was seen by Major
Sloat i'll Jerrold's bureau drawer at re-
veille this morning"
And such was the situation at Sibley
the August day the colonel took his
wife and her lovely daughter to visit

REVENUES OF TIE GOVERNMENT.
Heavy Failing on In the Receipts From
the Internal Revenue.

the Internal Revenue.
The revenues of the government have
fallen off $13, 900, 900 in round numbers
in the first IA days Of the present month
of September The receipts from GUS
toms for the first ii days OF September
amounted to so, 227, 900 against So, $780,
900 for the latter half Of August The
receipts from internal revenue for the
first Ia days of September were So, 972,-
900, while the receipts for tho last half
of August were $40, ga, 900, being a
loss for this period of SIT, 662, 900. The
normal loss in the internal reven1esro'
ceipts equals about 81, 800, 600, equiva-
lent to $4,000, 900 month, or, If the
same conditions should continue to the
end of the fiscal year, it would amount
to over $l10, 600, 900 Of loss or deficit.
This naturally produces the inquiry,
"Where arc the taxes to come from In
the face Of this great falling off of inter-
nal revenue?'
The tax on beer, cigars, cigarettes OF
the whole tobacco tax averages about
$3.50, 900 per day, whereas normal rev.
enue from internal revenue is about
and whisky must necessarily produce
about $3.50, 900, 900 per day i'll order to
maintain the normal condition of re-
ceipts from internal revenue If we ONLY
collect 80, 972, 900 in IA days, it is easy
to be seen that we are drifting into q
condition of increased Indebtedness
rather than keeping pace with the re-
curing wants of the government.
1t has been stated by those we'll in
formed and authorized to speak that
for the next four months it is estimated
that the receipts will be about $SS, O00,-
900 and the expenditures 1924, 900, 900.
The very best calculations made by ex-
perts in the treasury department as well
as out of it give us deficit ut the close
of the fiscal year June 30, 1895, of
about $25, 600, 900, and very many per-
sons who are wise and well informed
believe that the deficit for the same Pc
Rod may reach the enormous sum OF
$50, 600, 900.
These are healthful things for Repub-
licans to consider. When there is not

THE APPROACHING SToRM.-The

advent of the disturbance here at noon.
Between twelve and one o'clock there
were several furries of rain, accom-

been favorable all day for such 8 con-
