A puff of warm air blew from the inte-

was well along in summer, and not a
dozen miles away to the east men were
strolling about with palm-leaf fans and
wilted collars. Here, close to the gray
shores of the mighty sea, blankets and
overcoats were in demand. Hospitality
the older officer tuggea at the lacings
of the military front door, swore be-
tween his set teeth when the knots,
swollen by the wet, withstood his ef-
forts, and then shouted:
sergeant major, send somebodyhere
to open this"
A light footstep sounded on the
springy board floor, nimble fingers
worked a moment at the cords, then
the flap was thrown open and the adj
jutant's office stood partially revealed.
1t was a big wall tent backed up against
another of the same size and pattern.
Half a dozen plain chairs, two rough
board tables Uttered with books, pa
pers and smoking tobacco, an oil stove
and a cheap clothes rack on which were
hanging raincoats, ponchos and a cape
or two, comprised all the furniture. In
a stout frame Of unplaned wood, cased
in their oilskins and tightly rolled,
stood the national and state colors of
the famous regiment; and back of them,

o'clock and now there were four, and
the four were having fve-o'clock tea.
AT least anyone would have said they
were four blithe girls, innocent Of
graver responsibilities than social calls
and dinner or dance engagements, for
never looked four young women SO free
from the cares of this world than those
who were picturesquely grouped about
the generals camp table and under the
brilliant reflector Of the generals lamp;
but the plain gold circlet on the slender
finger of the merriest and noisiest and
smallest of the four, and the fact that
she had nothing to say to the senior OF
the four attendant officers except In
the brief, Indifferent tones of assured
proprietorship, and very much to say
to the other three, told a different story.
The generals manner lost none of its
kindness, even though a close observer
would have seen that his face lost a lit
tie of its light as he recognized in the
evident leader of the revels and mistress
of the situation the wife of his senior
aid-de-camp. An hour before he
thought her a thousand miles away

CHAPTER II.

The little party of visitors in the gen
erals personal tent made a striking
contrast to that assembled under the
official canvas. In the latter, seated
on camp stools and candle boxes or
Traced against the tent poles, near
ly a dozen officers, all in the somber
dark blue regulation uniform, several
in riding boots and spurs, some even
wearing the heavy, frogged o%vercoat;
all but two, juniors of the staff, men
who stood on the shady side of 40,
four of the number wearing on their
shoulders the silver stars Of generals
of division or brigade, and among their
thinning crops of hair the silver
strands that told Of years of service.
One man alone, the commanding gen.
eral, was speaking; all the others lis
tened in respectful silence. In the
gloon Of that late, fog-shrouded after
neon a lantern or two would have been
welcome, but the conference had be-
gun while it was still light enough for
the chief to read the memoranda on his
desk, and now he was talking without
notes. In the array of grave, thought
full faces, some actually somber and
severe in expression, a smile would have
seemed out OF place, yet, all on a sud
den, grim features relaxed, deep-set
eyes twinkled and glanced quickly
about in search of kindred sympathetic
spirits, and more than half the bearded
faces broadened into a grin of merri-
ment, and as many heads were sudden
ly uplifted, for just az the gray-haired
chief ended an impressive period with
the words: 1T will be no laughing
matter if 1 can lay hold of them,"there
burst upon the surprised ears of the
group a peal of the merriest laughter
imaginable-the ripping, joyous, mu-
steal laughter of happy girlhooa ming
ling with the hearty, wholesome. II
somewhat boyish, outburst OF jollity
of healthful youth.
"Merciful powers!" exclaimed the
chief. Il had forgotten all about those
people. They must have been here 20
minutes"
"Sixty-fve, sir, by the watch" said a
saturnine-looking soldier, tall and stall
wart, and wearing the shield Of the adj
jutant generals department on the col
lar of his sack coat.
"They ought to go, them" was the
placid suggestion of a third officer, a
mar with keen eyes, thin, almost ascetic
face, but there twitched a quaint
humor about the lines of his lips.
That visits past the retiring age"
And then another peal Of lnerriment
from the adjoining tent put a stop to
conversation.
"They don't lack for entertainers"
hazarded a staff officer as soon as he
could make himself heard. 1.-The sol
emn-looking Gothamite who came with

the varsity wouldn't stand a ghost of
show in the eyes of the professional
judges unless Billy would "brace up"
and take hold" Billy was willing as
Barkis, but the faculty said it would
put a premium on laxity to make Billy

them, to resign in his favor. "Prex"

lenge was declined, whereat the rival
institute crowed Justify and the thing
got into the papers. AS a result a select
company of student volunteers was
formed; its members agreed 10 drill an
hour daily in addition to the prescribed
work, provided Billy would take hold"
in earnest, and this was the company
that, under his command, swept the
boards six weeks later and left San
Pedro's contingent an amazed and dis
gusted crowd. Then Billy went to
metaphorical pieces again until the war
clouds overspread the land; then like
his fathers son he girded up his loins,
went In for a commission and won.
And here he was a Sub" in Uncle Sans
stalwartinfantry with three classmates
serving under him in the ranks and half
a dozen more, either as junior officers
or enlisted men, in the camps of the
volunteers. He was a handsome boy,
a healthy, hearty boy, and, as boys 60,
rather a good boy-a boy in whom his
mother would have found, had she not
long since been lifted above the cares
of this world, much of comfort and
more to %condone, but a boy, neverthe-
less, who had given his old dragon ct
just as he neared the legal dividing line
between youth and years of discretion,
Billy Gray had joined the third bat
TALON of his regiment, full of pluck,
hope and health, full Of ambition to
make a name for himself in a profession
he loved as, except his father, he GER
tainly loved nothing else, and utterly
soothing the idea that there might come
into his life a being for the sake of
whose smile he could almost lay down
his sword, for he had yet to meet Amy
Lawrence.
"Who are the women folks up at
headquarters, Billy" asked a youth OF
his W years and rank, peering eagerly
through the drifting mist at the dim,
ghostly outlines of the generals camp.
Didn't get to see 'em. Where's the
old mantle ]colonel?" was the reply.
"Chief wants him toot de sweet"

the biggest of the neighboring tents,
and a close-cropped head was thrust
out between the front tent flaps. THAT

GERS. He was slender, we'll built, erect.
His uniform fitted him trinity and was
worn with easy grace, his hands and
feet were small and slender, his eyes
and hair dark and fine, his features del

trife blistered and beaten by the harsh
winds that whistled in every day from

adjutant, somewhat sternly. II

"I-wasn't sick enough" faltered the
young soldier. II was all right a min
ute or two-or rather this morning,
sir. It'll be over presently. Perhaps
it was the smell Of the oil that did it

But Gordon continued to look at him
doubtfully.
"Move your desk across the tent for
the present, anyhow" said he, land I'll
speak to the doctor myself. With all
this newspaper hullabaloo about our
neglect of the SICK" Continued he, turn
ing to his friends, "if a man changes
color at sight of a smash-up he must
be turned over to the Red Cross at once.
What is it, orderly?" he finished, sud
denly, as the tent flaps parted and a
soldier in complete uniform, grit with
his belt of glistening cartridges, stood
at salute, some visiting cards in his
gloved hand.
Lieut.. Gray here, sir?" was the COM
prehensive answer. Then, catching
sight of the young officer, who stepped
quickly forward, he held forth the
cards.
"The adjutant generals compli-
ments, sir, and he'd be glad if.the lieu
tenant would come over at once"
Gray took the cards, curiously stud
led them and then read aloud, one after
the other; and placing the topmost In
derneath the other two as soon as read.

most at the end and the Parson
noted it.

quoth he. Case Of the last shall be

But Gray was still gazing dreamily
at the cards.
"I'm sure I never met any of them
before in my life" said he. "There
must be some mistake. Yet-that
name sounds familiar-somehow," and
that" was the only name now in sight.
I'm off," he suddenly announced, and
vanished.
There was a sound of light, quick
footsteps on the flooring of the rear
ward tent at the same time. The SER
geant major glanced up from his writ
ing; looked at a vacant desk, then at
the clock, then, inquiringly, at his regi-
mental deity-the adjutant. 1t was
