Sparkled on my snowy breast,

Warm and red. with 1ife's young blood
Upon my snow white rosebud tips.
And, 10. there surged a crimson flood
Throughout my veins. which dyed my breas.
As never sun nor rain could dc,
And soft each morn his fond lips pressed
My petals till roster grew.
But woe Is me! One luckless day
There passed pIowboy on his roam
Who plucked me in his sportive play
And claimed me for his own.

He cast me here alone to die.

And breathe a last goodbyi

''Does he know Captain Barclay, do

pause.
''1'm sure I don't know. Probably
not" was the answer. "They never

those days and is as rare as an Indian
fight now. The least responsible among
them at the moment was Lieutenant
Bralligan, ex.ccrporal Of dragons, who
could no more have passed the examina-.
tion exacted of candidates today than a
cat could squeeze through carbine.
"Hwat dye warrnt Of the meejor,
Winn?'' he shouted. "Sure ye've got
permission to ride out wild us to meet

VIM vouchsafed no answer. Bralli-

by whisky, boiled over at the slight.

Instantly brawny hand, that Oh
Captain Follansbee, was sprawled over
the broad, leering mouth. Instantly
there was a crash of chair legs hastily
moved, Of grinding boot heels as men
| sprang to their feet, of poker chips fly
| ing to the floor-a sound of oaths and
furious struggles, for two Of the party,
with the attendant, had hurled them
selves on the half drunken lieutenant and
were throttling him to silence, while
Captains Bronson and Fellows sprang
to head off Vim, who with blazing
eyes and clinched fists came bounding
back into the room.
"What did that BLACKBOARD say?" he
demanded. II did not catch the words "
Nothing, nothing, VIM, that you
should notice. implored Bronson.
"He's drunk. He doesn't know what he
is saying. He's crazed. No. sir" in
sisted Bronson sternly as VIM strove
to pass him. eff you do not instantly
withdraw, I shall place you under ar
rest. Be sure that this poor devil shall
make all repatriation when he's sober
enough to realize what has happened. Go
at once. You go with him, Fellows"
And so between them they got VIM
away, and others soused Bralligan with
acequia water and locked him up in his
room and had him solemnly sober by
afternoon stables, while, vastly to their
relief, VIM with two or three cavaliers
rode away at 3 o'clock to meet Ned
Lawrence somewhere afar out on the
Crockett trail. Greatly did Follansbee
and Fellows congratulate Bronson, and
Bronson them, on the fact that they had
happened to be looking on at the game
when VIM happened in and Bralligan
broke out for thereby they had stopped

were distinctly heard by domestics lying
in wait for chance to borrow of the
steward and pick up gossip at the back.
By stables that evening the story was
being told high and low all over the
post; even the children heard with
eager yet uncomprehending ears, and SO
it happened that just as the drums Of
the infantry were sounding first call for
retreat parade and the womenfolk were
beginning to muster on the porches and
the warriors Of the foot along the op-
posite side at the barracks and as Cap
tain Barclay, light rattan stick in his
hand, came strolling back from stables,
Lieutenant Brayton at his side, little
Jim Lawrence made dash from a
group Of children, and, in the full hear
ing Of several officers and half a dozen
women, shrill, eager, childish voice
piped out the fatal words:
"Uncle Gal-Uncle Gal-what did
Mr.. Bralligan mean by telling Mr..
VIM to send his wife to you for
money!
Laura VIM herself was on the near
est piazza at the moment, stunningly
handsome, and posing, evidently for
bow from the next door neighbors as
they came by. She and every other
woman there distinctly heard the words
and marked the effect
Sir Galahad's face flushed crimson.
He caught his little friend up in his
arms and held him close to his burning
cheek. "Hush, Jimmy boy. He meant
nothing, and soldiers never repeat such
nonsense. Run to Sister Ada and help
Der get everything ready for papa s COM
ing. Think, Jimmy, he'll be here by

set the youngster down at his doorstep
and started him on his way. Them
courteously raising his cap to the gather
ing on the nearest porch, and noting, as
did they, that Mrs. VIM had disap-'
peared within her hall, Barclay quickly
entered his own portal, and nabbed
Brayton as he was making a palpable
"sneak'' for the rear door. The young
ster found escape impossible. Willy
nilly, the boy told the story as it had
been told to him, Barclay standing look
ing straight into his eyes, as though
reading his very soul, yet never saying,
word beyond the original, "You heard
what Jimmy said. 1t is another instance!

met him in the witnessing presence Of
all Fort Worth, and all the garrison
saw that she had sustained crushing
defeat. She who was to have been his
wife and had duped him, she who had
looked to subjugate him once more, was
duped in turn, the victim Of her own
vanity.

Fort Worth didn't stop talking of
that episode for all Of another week,
and that, too, in the face Of other inter-
esting matter.
To begin with, Sergeant Marsden had
disappeared as though from the face Of
the earth. Whittier he had fed no man

remained unvisited. Fuller's people
would not shield the fugitive, for Full
Ter, as the post sutler, suffered equally
with Uncle Sam from the sergeant's
depredations Settlers and ranch people
who bought Of the latter cut into the
business Of the former, and Fuller would
most gladly have had him grounded
up" long weeks ago, but Marsden and
his few confederates in the garrison had
admirably covered their tracks, and the
indications Of declining trade that had
reused the suffers suspicious led to no
arousal Of vigilance within the sentry
line, wherefore Fuller's heart was hard
ened against the post commander and
the erstwhile commissary, and this,
too, at time when the latter stood in
sorest need of financial help. The extent
of poor Winn's losses and responsibility
was now known. So far as his commits
sary accounts were concerned, not a cent
less than So, 900 would cover them. The
uuartermaster was out horse and
