Of the primitive Germans, whose fe-
males are represented to have been very
high-spirited and to have exercised con-
siderable sway over the other sex.
Whatever truth there may be In this
statement, certain II Is that high spe-
cies Of gallantry forms the very spirit
Of modern chivalry; and, as proof
Of this we have only to refer to the
classification Of knights duty, to fear
God and love the ladies, to perceive how
necessary female alteration is to the
very existence of this order. This prin-
ciple of female alteration, so promi-
nently displayed in every aspect Of
chivalry, extended it's influence to the
laws of the times; for we find James
II. of Arragon ordering In this manner:

murder" And Louis H., duke Of Bour-

Cupid played some odd pranks with
James II. Geltner, Of Bethlehem. and
his bride, Pearl Knowland, Of Indian
apolis, Ind, but they finally outwitted
him.
They were to have been married at
indianapolis, but the bride decided to
have the ceremony performed at the
home OF her cousin, Mrs. James Ber-
~, Of Jacksonville. She wrote Geltner
o letter, saying she would meet him
there on the appointed day.
He failed TO get the letter. and took
q train for indianapolis. In blissful
ignorance he passed train en- route
on which his bride was going to keep
her supposed engagement at Jefferson
Vile.
They arrived at their destinations,
and, finding no one waiting for them,
decided to return ut once, In the hope
Of locating the missing loved one.
Again they passed each other en- route.
The bride again started toward the

at Jacksonville she encountered the
anxious groom waiting for another
train to Indianapolis. They repaired
to the home OF the cousin and Rev.
George II. Finger united them in mar

Of himself, II have not genius. I am

notable humility recalls the remark Of
Sir Isaac Newton that the only genius
he had was the ability TO keep prob

through II. A Scotch clergyman said:
"Sir Isaac Newton isas weel acquainted

CHAPTER XIV.

Just about noon, when the hospital
attendant was away ut dinner, the doc
tor at Buxton's and Whitaker getting
a nap after his night Of vigil, only Hop
Ling was On duty over Randy. Hell
probably sleep until late in the after
noon," the doctor said, when he looked
in at II, and so perhaps he might have
done. Grafton, before starting, hnd
taken the responsibility Of removing
Florence's ominous looking missive and
placing 1t with other letters on the
mantel In the little parlor. He could
not feel justified In hiding It entirely.
He felt that when Merriam woke the
truth would have to be told him, and
perhaps Florence's own words might
best explain her flight. At nll events
DR.. Leavitt had promised to be on
hand to see that the news was not too
abruptly broken, and Leavitt counted
on long sleep and upon subsequent
drowsiness and languor as the result of
his treatment. No one had dreamed Of
the possibility Of such rude awakening
as came. No woman in her right senses
would have ventured on the mad
Drained, desperate measure rcsorted to
by Mrs. McLane. What she hoped to
learn, what she expected TO gain, what
papers or information she still believed
him to possess, who can say? The pow
err Of reasoning, driven from her by the
Supplying drug that Of late had over
mastered its weak and willing victim,
seemed to have utterly gone, leaving in
its place only something of the craft
and cunning that possess the insane.
No sooner was Mrs. Grafton out OF the
way, than, rousing suddenly, Fanny
had summoned Annette, had fastened
through her toilet, and, barely slipping
the coffee rendered her, had thrown q
light wrap over her head and shoulders
and fitted out of the house, out past
the stable at the rear, and, to the amaze
Of the sentry on No. 2, had scurried
away along the fence, had easily located
the Merriams' gate, the number on
which corresponded with that Of their
quarters, and In another moment had
let herself through the kitchen and
dining-roOm and into the little parlor.
There for few moments she seemed
to have paused and reconnoitercd.
OF what followed only Randy and
Hop Ling were witnesses. The latter
was never nble to explain It, II indeed
he ever could understand the situation,
and rs for Randy. It was long before he
could be induced to speak OF 1t at all.
The time came when he had to, how
ever, and II can be told now.

the ladies grouped at Buxton's. listen
ing to the soldiers description Of their
search, and then were strolling home
ward when, over toward the west end Of
the cavalry line, arose the sound Of com.
motion and distress.
An instant later, as the doctor,
glancing, turned TO hasten thlther, q
woman dressed In deepest black came
Keeling forth from the Merriams' door
way and plunging wildly down the
steps. Everyone knew her at a glance
II was Fanny McLane, who stood there
now swaying at the gate as though
gasplng for breath, while calling mar
ticulately for aid. It WINS but few Sec
onds before the doctor reached her.
They saw him accost her briefly, then 60
sprlnging past her up the steps and
Into the house. A moment more and
Mrs. Grafton, with other women,
reached her.
"What Is the matter? What has hap
pened, Fanny? Why are you herc?"
And covering. sobblng, shlvering, she
made answer:
"Oh, stop him! save him! He'll kill

serted. There, wildly gesticulating and

essary to her now. She felt the need Of
his support In the management Of her
truculent patient. She had TO leave the
latter while assisting him In his busy
preparations, and she was surprised
and rejoiced to see that on her return
to her Fanny had become fur more calm
and resigned. The ladies In many
households were still up and fitting
about the post, tearfully, forebodingly
discussing the situation, and several OF
them had dropped in to speak n word
with Mrs. Grafton-Whittaker and
Minturn being ever on the alert to es-
cort such parties-and so 1t was long
after one-indeed, It was nearly two
o'clock-when ut last, after final peep
at her now placidly sleeping guest and
leaving Annette curled up on the sofa
by her mistress bedside, Mrs. Grafton
finally sought her own pillow and slept
long into the sunshine OF the following
day.
Awakening with start ut the sound
Of stirring music on the parade, she
found that II was after eight and guard
mounting was In full blast. Summon
ing a servant, her first question was for
news Of Mrs. Merriam, for servants al
ways know the garrison news before
their masters. Not word had been re-
ceived. Presently she tiptoed to Fan
ny's room, softly turned the knob, and
noiselcssly entered. There lay her guest
still plunged In deep slumber, but An
nette had disappeared, gone, probably,
10 the kitchen for coffee. Far over at
the east, where the railway crossed the
barren mesa, a locomotive whistle broke
the silence Of the desert with long, ex-
ultant blast. The blockade then was
broken. The first train was coming In
from Cimarron. Dressing with greater
haste than usual, she ordered breakfast
served, and then went out on the piazza
and looked up the row toward the Mer-
Rams. The doctor was just coming
out Of the gate, and Whitaker. who had
spent the night there on watch-all
thought Of rivalry forgotten-was

"Also sleeping" said Mrs. Grafton.

doctor looked conscious but said moth

All that morning people strained their
eyes and rubbed their binoculars and

northwest. hoping for the coming Of

noon were they rewarded. Then, COW

when "Aflus Florence's" life was In
volved. Buxton was up and about when
the courier came, and In ten minutes
had reached the Office and sent for
Grafton. What he wished to know was,
had she any reason whatever for turn
Ing away from the beaten track and
taking to the unknown regions of the
road and far to the northwest OF the
settlements? Grafton knew Of none.
There was indeed grave reason why she
should not.
For so miles northward the Santa
Clara twined and twisted through o
fairly fertile valley, once the herding
ground Of the Navajos, now wild and al
most unsettled. Americans and Mexl-
cans both had tried II as a stock range,
but American cattle and American
horses demanded q better quality Of
grass and more OF II than would serve
the stomach OF the Indian pony. Treaty
obligations sent the Navajos farther
into the mountains to the northwest
beyond the Mescalero-but there were
restless roamers who were constantly
of the reservation, sometimes on pass
but oftener on mischief, aud on the pre-
text OF trading they came recklessly as
far Us the settlement, and then some
body's horses were sure TO be missing,
spirited away into the foothills, whittier
Il WINS almost useless to follow. The
Navajos said the Mexicans were the
thieves, the Mexicans declared them to
be the Navajos, and when both parties
were caught and accused, with prompt
unanimity both announced that
Apaches must again be raiding, and the
name Of Apache covered a multitude
OF sins. Time was when Victoria and
Mana led the cavalry some glorious
chases into the Mescalero, but both
those redoubtables had met their fate,
and agency officials across the Arizona
line were ready to swear that none OF
their once intractable followers ever
thought Of quitting corn or melon
planting for the forbidden joys Of the
raid and the warpath. All the same the
foothills and the valley far to the north
west OF the settlements were full OF
mystery and dangcr-the roaming
ground Of the horsethief and the rene
gadc, and Merriam's men, just In from
their long chase, pointed out how the
Mexican rufiians, though starting
originally toward the southwest, had
In long wide circuit gradually worked
their way northward, as though making
for this very region. The leader Of the
gang that shot Brady and Corcoran was
q fellow by the name Of Ramon Valdez,
and there was no deviltry too steep for
him. The news, therefore, that Flor
ence Merriam had not reached Jose's,
but that her trail was lost somewhere
among the buttes and powders four
miles to the eastward Of that frontier
refuge, struck dismay to the hearts Of
her friends at Sedgwick. The tidings
went from lip to lip, from house to
house, like wildfire, and by midnight
an entire troop had ridden forth with
their ever ready three days rations,
and with Capt. George Grafton In COM
mand, and their orders were not to re-
turn without Mrs. Merriam or definite
news of her.
Mrs. Grafton let her husband go only
