execrated criminal, his old colonel's first

his captors in the tower, all to the care

one dozen yards away could have
heard, nor did it pass around the chain
of sentries, nor was there other attempt
to call off the hour that memorable
night. For long days after men recalled
the fact that the last hour called from

in, glanced quickly around until he
caught Wills eye, and the young officer
promptly joined him.

The music had just sounded the sig
nal for the forming Of the sets for the
lancers, and with soldierly promptitude
the officers, with their partners, began
taking their positions. Floor managers
have little labor at garrison hop. Ellis
