said that Durrant makes the statement

another person prominent in church af-

though Durrant requested his lawyers
not to open the letter unless he was con-

them and r%cfrained from using them in

.ATntttdge TOOK the photograph to the IDtt-
dOl0 and studied it carefully
the sight, and Mertick, with one amazed
and frightened look at his captain,
faced about and skunk silently away.
To him Armitage paid no further atten.
ton. It was to the officer he addressed
himself:
Mr.. Jerrold, ! have heard pretty
much all this conversation. 1t simply
adds to the evil report with which you
have managed to surround yourself
Step into your quarters. I must see
you alone.
Jerrold hesitated. He was thunder
struck by the sudden appearance Of the
captain, whom he had believed to be
hundreds Of miles away. He connected
his return unerringly with the web of
trouble which had been weaving about
him Of late, He conceived himself to
have been most unjustly spied upon
and suspected and was full of re-
sentiment at the conduct of Captain
Chester. But Chester was an old
granny, who sometimes made blum
ders and had to back down. 1t was
a different thing when Armitage took
hold. Jerrold looked sulkily into the
clear, stern, blue eyes a moment, and
the first impulse Of rebellion wilted
He gave one irresolute glance around
the quadrangle, then motioned with his
hand to the open door. Something of
the old, jaunty, creole lightness Of man
nsr reasserted itself.
After you, captain, he said.

CHAPTER XII.-Continued.

III. Jerrold was not Of the number
that came sauntering up the walk, drop
ping away by ones or twos as they
reached their doors and unbuckled their
belts or removed their helmets in eager
haste to get out Of the .oustraint Of full
dress. But i'll another moment Jerrold,
too, appeared all alone, walking rapidly
and neryOusly. Armitage watched him
and could not but see how other men
turned away or gave him the coolest
possible nod as he passed. The tall,
slender lieutenant was handsomer even
than whep he last saw him, and yet
there We're gloom and worry Oh the dark
beauty Of his face. Nearer and nearer
he came and had passed the quarters Of
the other officers and was almost at the
door Of his own when Armitage saw a
little, wiry soldier in full dress uniform
running across the parade as though in
pursuit. He recognized Merrick, one Of
the scapegraoes Of his company, and
wondered why he should be chasing
after his temporary commander. Just
as JerrOid was turning under the piazza
the soldier seemed to make himself
heard, and the lieutenant, with an
angry frown On his face, stopped and
confronted him.
81 told you not to come to me again, ="
he said, so loud that every word was
audible to the captain standing by the
open window above. "What do you
mean, sir, by following me in this
way?"
The reply was inaudible. Armitage
could see the little soldier standing in
the respectful position of attention, I"
looking up and evidently pleading.
I won't do it until I'm ready" was
again heard in Jerrold's angry tones,
though this time the lieutenant glanced
about, as though to see if others were
within earshOt, There was no one ap-
parently, and he grew more confident.
You've been drinking again today,
Merrick. You're not sober now, and I
won't give you money to get maudlin
and 90 to .blabbing secrets. No, sir! Go
back to your quarters and stay there. "
The little soldier must indeed have
been drinking, as the lieutenant de-
olared Armitage saw that he hesitat-
ed, instead of obeying at once, and that
his flushed face was angrily working,
then that he was arguing with his su-
perior and talking louder. This was
contrary to all the captains ideas of
proper discipline, even though he was
indignant at the officer for permitting
himself to be placed in so false and IN
dignifed position. Jerrold's words,
toe, had acquired a wide significance,
but they were feeble as compared with
the sudden Outburst that came from the
soldiers lips:
BY God, lieutenant, you bribed me
to silence to cover your tracks, and then
you refuse to pay. IF you don't want
me to tell what I know, the sooner you
pay that money the better. "
This was more than Armitage could
stand. He went down stairs three at q
jump and out through the coloners
garden with quick, impetuous steps.
Jerrold's furious face turned ashen at
