the call, because he wished TO have his
interview over and done with. The men
of his troop were already leading out
as he came in sight OF the long row of
ycllow-waslled rookcrirs that passed
for stables, and it annoyed him to be
hailed on the way, one after another,
by these two admirers of so much that
he couldn't admire at all. Then, as luck
would have it, the iiruienant-colonel
was the next to accost him and TO re-
mark that he was five minutes late,
which wasn't so, but couldn't be con-
tradicted, and Grafton was gritting his
teeth when he reached Mis- troop. He
was in no mood TO talk AUTOMATICALLY
with Merriam just then. and knew it,
and was thankful that the lieutenant
was still another stable beyond, when
who should appear, walking rapidly
back from the bank where the horses
were watering, than Merriam himself.
Seeing inquiry In tIhe captains eye. he
stepped quickly toward him.

explained. land I'm excused in order to

CHAPTER IN.

Three days after the co!oncl's din
ner, Mrs. McLane was pronounced suf-
ficiently well to take the open air, but
did not not look sufficiently we'll, in
her own opinion, to take the hint Nor
did Mrs. Grafton too eagerly urge. by
this time the hostess was fully con-
WINGED that Fanny was far from being
the frank, conilding creature she had
pictured herself to be; that she had
come to Sedgwicl< with other purposes
IN view than that of seeking the SYM
pathy and counsel of her erstwhilc
schoolmatc; that she was corccaling
from her. to whom she once longcd to
unbosom her every thought, some vital
and thrilling circumstance, and, worst
of all, that Capt. Grafton now knew
what it was, and wouldn't tell. This
perhaps, was almost objectionable. In
vain had Mrs. Grafton insinuatetl, in
qnired, insisted, and finally implorcd.
Her husband was gentle, but obdu-
rate.
II know nothing, Harriet" he sim
ply said. ~ do, perhaps, conjecture,
but all ! conjecture is derived from
that dispatch, the contents of which
should be seen and known only by your
friend thc--your friend and once-upon-
ntimc bridesmaid. If she choose to tell
you. we'll and good, but cannot"
But he told Mrs. Mclane what he had
read without telling what lie conjec-
turcd, and then furthermore told her
what he had donc-wircd to Aunt Char
lot:e that her niece was Frustrated by
the receipt of her dispatch, and might
not be able to reply for several days,
so Aunt Charlotte was existing without
further knowledge of the condition of
Ter niece as pIacidly, let MS hope, as
was her niece without further knowl-
edge of the condition of her uncle
1t was on this third day when the
doctor left, after saying Mrs. McI,anc
ought to go and take a drive or ride,
that Grafton wrote to her few words
reporting that he had read Aunt Char
lottc's dispatch and replied to it as
above stated. This note he sent in by
Annette. Mrs. Grafton was receiving
sympathizing callers at the moment,
and the captain babe Annette say that
it he could be of any further service
Mrs. McLane should let him know.
Presently Annette returned with
note.

You are the only man upon whose

him now"
The servant vanished. then reap
peared, bent and whispered again.
'Tell him I'm at dinner and won't
see him now" said the colonel, not un-
willing to impress OH his fair guest the
idea of his professional Importance and
personal force. The servant bent and
whispered again, whcrcat the colonel
changed color and glanced up unccr-
tainly in the troubled face of the mes
senger, then as uncertainty around the
table, his eyes only for an instant meet
ing those Of his guest.
"Will you excuse me Il moment, my
dcar?" he said To his wife, and left the
table and the ROOM
Conversation went ON somewhat con-
STRANGELY. Mrs. McLanc, intent ON
fascinating the colonel. had rather ig-
norcd the rest. Minturn was plainly in
the suiks, and Mrs. Colonel, with anx-
icty in her eyes. was plainly listening
to the hurried talk in the outer room.
Presently in came the servant. Would
Capt. Grafton please join the colonel
in the parlor, and, wondering, Grafton
went.
ITS that dreadful telegraph opera
tor" said Mrs. Colonel, in low,
troubled tone. ITS some bad news.
Indian outbreak, probably, CT he'd
never be so irss!cnt."
Then all conversation seemed to drag,
and people only spoke in monosyllables
or hazartlcd some guess as to what
could he the matter.
But it wasn't Indians. It wasn't war
fare. 1t was only the soldier tclcg-
rapher at the post, who bore with him
message which the operator at the
Junction had received positive instruc-
lions from the eastern manager to de-
liver at once and report delivery and
get an answer. 1t was for Mrs. McI.anc.
So there was nothing for it but to call
her, and with sudden panic in her eyes
she hurried into the parlor, shrank
for II moment from the protfcrcd dis
patcll-then, with an effort at sclf-con-
troll, took il, tore it open, read with d.
lated eyes, lifted her hand to her face
as though in bcwillcrmcnt and .ls1nay,
staring into vacancy as she did SO, and
then suddenly, without a moan, without
sound from her lips, went down in u
limp heap upon the bcarskn rug where
on she stood, and the ladies rushed to
but could not-rcvivc her.
Full half an hour they labored over
her. The messenger had dashed for
the doctor and brought him to the
scene. Grafton had rescued the paper
just as it seemed about to futtcr into
the fireplace, folding and slowing it
away in his coat pocket, and not until
after ten did she seem to recover con-
seriousness, not until near the sound
ing of taps could they bear her home,
and then the messenger came back.
The operator at the Junction said they
must have report of the receipt of the
message. and some answer: this was
imperative. Grafton appealed to the
doctor. The doctor said Mrs. McLane
was only semi-conscious. and could an
swcr nothing. "Shc is your guest, man.
Read the dispatch and reply as best you
can. Whatever IFS contents, they have
shocked her seriously"
And so finally Grafton read the mes
sage and could fathom only portion of
it's meaning.
