CHAPTER VII.

The doctor was needed for Constance
that night, and Mrs. Fenton and Mrs.
Woods, loving women both, came in to
minister to her, SO utterly was she I'M
nerved, unstrung. Morgan knew not
what to say or think. 1t was no time
to torture her with inquiry as to why
the belief in Thornton's death should
so utterly PROSTATE her, even were the
belief itself justifable-which he did
not at all concede. Ranchmen reported
an officer and his orderly killed in the
Mini Ska valley far to the north of
Pawnee station that evening about
dust. Ranchmen were proverbially SEN
sationa1. Even if an officer had been
killed, why should it be Thornton?
True, Winthrop's was the only COM
mapd in the valley at the moment.
True, the Indians knew of their COM
ing, for what movement of troops did
they not know all about as soon as the
troops themselves? If an officer had
been killed, it very possibly was one of
the Eleventh From the landing at the
head of the stairs Constance had heard
the abrupt announcement of Capt.
Fenton, and, waiting for no explana-
ton, had rushed to her bed. Why
should she believe Thornton to have
been the victim? And, even if he
were, why should it SO affect her?
the apple of his eye, his loving,
winsome. loyal Connie, his Little
Mother" as he had SO long called her?
Morgan wrung his hands in distress
and perp1exity.
The doctor came in after his brief ex-
animation.
THE child has been running down
all winter he said. s'She is in a low,
nervous condition, the natural result
of the long strain. She has had
woman's cares on a child's shoulders,
Morgan, and any shock was likely to
upset her. The sudden news that one
of her friends was killed was quite
enough to floor a stronger woman, let
alone Connie. Wen have her up again
in day or two; but she ought to have
rest and a change"

CHAPTER VL-CoNrINUED.

It was nearly tattoo that evening
~when Morgan left the majors and went
slowly hOmeward. Voices in eager
S conversation were audible in the
kitchen as he entered, then became as
suddenly still and the door was quickly
closed. 1t was his custom to go to the
q. children's room and kiss and pet them
Il little after Connie had prompted
them through their prayers-devotions
rover which, in their infautiIe deprav-
7ity, they were far more apt to fall
asleep than during the subsequent GER
emory. But the sounds from alOft as
he entered We're those of lively conten-
ton rather than alteration, lively con-
troversy rather than the 1isping prayers
eof childish lips. Lot and Billy We're
still up and astir, it was evident, and
so engrossed in their tilt that the
fathers coming up the crealSing stair
way failed to divert their attention
Hating at the door and looking in, the
veteran trooper enjoyed a coup-d cell
of the scene. Perched on the bed in
the bifurcated vestment of canton
flannel referred to as his ''nighties"
was the burly son and heir, barefooted,
flushed, trucalent, bouncing up and
down on the bed-springs as he con-
~versed with his sister, who, equally,
flushed, if a trifie less confident in mien,
and Just about half undressed, was
standing with one of her spring-heeled,
buttOned boots IN hand. half concealed,
half disclosed, as though she lacked de-
termination to hurl it after its mate,
now reposing on top of the bureau
beyond the bed, surrounded by the
wreck of glass toilet-set, once their
xmother's-Aupt Lottie's one present to
her army sister.
81 don't care" said Lot, sturdily;
-''you did it."
''Oh, you're worse'n Annanice Afirei

''You did. too! and you shnn't call

ST shall if you 'cuse me again. said
Bill, stoutly. You fired that shoe at
me when wasn't even lookin' at dolly,
sand it smashed everythiug.'
ST don't care" reiterated Lot, ''it
was all your fault. It never would
have hit 'em at all if-if you hadn't
lodged. So therer' And then Lot,
triumphant, turned, saw her fathers
grave face, and lost her nerve. Run
ming to HIM, she burst into tears,
whereupon Billy began to whimper
=sympathetically.
Hush, Lottie. Never mind who did
1T now" said Morgan, taking her in his
-arms. Hush, child. Well settle that
ssome other time. Where's Connie?
Where was she when this happened?"
NANNY called her to the kitchen.
=Sergt. Hinkers wife coined, >" sobbed
Lottie, ''and she told Billy not to step
Ion my dolly, and he-he-iust danced
at off the bed purpose. and land
Il" and here the sobs overmastered
her. and Billy came tumbling off his
perch in dire dismay. And this was
the situation when Comics low voice
and fleet footsteps were heard on the
stairway, and little mother came hur-
Tying in. One glance told her what
had happened. She few around the

aught the man could tell he seemed

He could distinguish kicks and jumps
