CHAPTER XL.

With an imperious gesture Of the
hand she motioned him from her, and
| confused and crestfallen he galloped
away.
Turning her pony to ride back toward
the fort, she noted the rapid approach
of a cavalryman, and when he drew
near enough to be recognizable a smile
of pleasure unseated the frown which
was enthroned on her face.
''Why, what a surprise" she cried, as
he rode up and raised his cap. ''Thf
is the first time have met you since
since-the last time"
''Since my release from confinement,
you would say, Miss Sanford. Do not
feel the least delicacy in referring to
that experience, for assure you that
aside from a regret that l violated a
military rule, my conscience is entirely
clear when 1 review my late trouble
with-your friend"
my friend! Mr.. Thornton, Lieut..
Vandever is not a friend of mine. Why,
1 have just forbidden him to ever
speak to me again. His unmanly &C.

of his character with which 1 had pre-
stroyed any feeling of esteem 1 might
have entertained toward him, and his
action of few moments ago have caused
me to hate aud detest him. tolerated
his society for time to-day through a
sense of the respect due his rank, and
he took advantage of that liberation to
make himself very offensive to me-"

piled. But came to you on a mis-

When within quarter of a mile OF
| the couple Brown was astonished to
see Vandever suddenly wheel his horse
| from the trail, and gallop furiously
across the plain in the direction of the
western borders of the garrison, while
Miss Sanford turned her pony's head
and rode back toward himself.
1t may be appropriate to here give
| the conversation between Alice and
Vandever, that his abrupt and hasty
flight from her side may be explained.
1t may also show the stability Of the
foundation upon which Browns tortur-
ing fears were built.
At the dinner table that day Alice,
after much coaxing, had drawn from
her father a promise to go riding with
her, but at the hour of starting man
from San Marcial had called on some
government contract business, and the
girl was compelled to start alone. The
business was adjusted much more
quickly than the commanding officer
had anticipated, and, recalling how
eager his daughter had been to enjoy a
ride with him, he determined she
should not be deprived of the pleasure,
and, ordering his horse, he started
after her. As he rode through one of
the sallyports in the line of earthworks
which surrounded the garrison he saw
Lieut.. Vandever join her out on the
plain, and ride away by her side. They
started after little while in gallop,
and seeing the futili.y of attempting
to overtake them the colonel concluded
to ride slowly ahead and meet them on
their return.
The lieutenant had spent much Of
the day in social game OF cards with
a hay contractor in the club room of
the post traders store. the stakes being
but the price of a bottle of wine or the
cigars at the conclusion of each game,
and a group of chalk marks on the face
of the table indicated that quite a
| number of bottles Of the sparkling
beverage had changed ownership as
the hours sped by. When at last, weary
of the pastime. the players ceased their
games. the officer became aware of the
fact that his brain was in rather un-
certain state of lucidity, and to wear
away the effects of his frequent pota-
tons ne went to the stables, ordered
his horse and started for ride. He
was not at all what civilians would
term ''beastly drunk" but had taken
sufficient wine to make him reckless
and to screw his vanity up to the high
est notch, and as he galloped out of the
garrison he felt as lordly as ever did
Alexander the Great after well won
victory. Seeing Miss Sanford riding
along but a short distance away he for
got that they had ever had differ
ence, and hastily galloped up to her
side. Raising his cap ne said to her:
evil you grant me the privilege of q
short gallop with you. Miss Sanford? I
cannot tell you how lonely 1 get at
times, actually blue, since being so

ness.
An umbrella seems to be an article
that is either treated with such scru-
pulous care that one would imagine it
serves no other purpose but ornament,
or with such neglect it is little won
der that an excellent article becomes
cracked and worn out, before it has
been used half dozen times.
The old-fashioned glngham or al
paca umbrellas are about as durable
articles in this way as can be secured.
But women usually like something
less unitarian and more ornamental.
In other words, they respect their UNI
brella enough to wish it to be of silk.
But silk umbrella requires care, and
they usually receive the opposite treat
ment from what they should.
The average person in coming in
from the rain either opens his umbrel-
la to dry it or turns it down on the tip
to drain it. Neither of these things
should be done. The umbrella should
be stood on its handle to drain. so that
the water will run of the edges of the
frame and not lodge at the tip, under
the ring, where the silk is thickest-
The umbrella should be allowed to dry
as it drips instead of being spread open
to dry, because the fiber of the silk is
more strained in this position and is
liable to crack.
The same umbrella should never be
used for the rain and the sunshine. IT
different umbrellas are kept for these
two purposes, they will last three
times as long as one umbrella used in
differently for rain and sunshine both.
When not in use. in the house, never
allow the umbrella to remain in its
case or stripped up in tight roll. It
should stand loosely in closet, pro-
tected from the dust.-N. Y. Tribune.

ESTIMATE OF INCOME TAX.

ICED by the Government.

lzeO Dy the GOVeT0menC.
The number of persons and corpora
tions liable to taxation under the pro-
visions of the income tax law was
originally estimated at $4,000. It is
now believed that returns will show
that over 100000 individuals, estates
and corporations are in receipt of an
nual net incomes in excess of 81, 900.
Blanks to the number Of 800, 900 were
sent out to revenue collectors, but
that supply proving entirely made
quate, another 400, 900 lot was printed,
and now these are more than half
gone. Upon information offered by
revenue collectors the commissioner Of
internal revenue bases an opinion that
very little trouble is going to be ex-
perienced in collecting the tax. and
that it will be honestly paid without
serious objection. The tax is so small
only $50 on every 81, 600 net income
over and above S4,OOO-that there is
very little valid excuse for not paying,
and then the matter of pride is going
to enter into the question very largely.
1t would not be surprising if $50, OOO,-
600 to ST., 5000, 900 were realized from
the income tax. instead of from SoO,-
DOC, 900 to $50, 900, 900, as originally esti-
mated, and if such should turn out to
be the case Secretary Carlisle's esti-
mates of the results at the end Of the
current fiscal and calendar year will
be verified to Germans chagrin and
discontinue. Congress having cured
the weak point in the law-that i'm
posing double taxation on the net
earnings of corporations-the pending
litigation against the validity of the
law will go to pieces. In brief, the
rich men of the country, barring a
group OF constitutional tax fighters in
New York and Boston, have accepted
the income tax law as something that
must be borne.-Chicapo Post.

 UTICA. \. Y. Jan. l9-William Pitt, Thomas Buck and Joseph Ermincr, each about II years of age, ran away from St. Vincent's Industrial school hero n few days ago No trace of them could be sc cured until Friday afternoon, when the bodies of Buck and Erminer were found In the woo6S near Herkimer. They had been frozen To death.
 Pitt was found in a barn near hy so bad ly frozen that his legs will have to be am putatcd. Pitt and Ermincr were sent here from New York, and Bucks parents re side here. Pitt says he and his compan- ions wandered about the woods. They did not see house after Tuesday night and had nothing to eat. They walked until Buck and Erminer sank down from ex- haustion in the spot whero their dead bodies were found.
 Pitt told his two companions to count their beads and say their prayers, and it Is evident that they were thus engaged when death claimed them. Pitt took of his coat and placed it over the two unfor- tunates as they lay on the ground. but they told him to put it on. or he would freeze to death himself Pitt says he To mained with his companions until their hearts ceased to beat, and he knew they were dead
