In Africa large quantities of locusts

considered a desirable addition to the

of cooking white ants, one being to boil
them with water to the consistency OF
porridge. They are often eaten after
being simply dried over the fire, or in

Here the soft gray eyes glanced quick
ly at the anxious face of Miss Lawrence,
who sat silently feigning interest in
the chat between the others. The anx-
ious look in her eyes gave way to sud-
den alarm at Armstrong; next words:
1.-THE prisoner must have had friends.

those two fellows at the stage are de-

lips, for Mrs. Garrison dropped at the

CHAPTER VII.

Billy Gray was indeed in close ar
rest and the grim prophecy was full
filled-Col. Canker was proving "any-
thing but guardian angel to him." The
whole regiment, officers and men, bar
ring only the commander, was practi-
cally in mourning with sorrow for him
and chagrin over its own discontinue.
Not only one important prisoner was
gone, but two; not only two, but four.
No man in authority was able to say
just when or how it happened, for It
was Canker's own order that the pris-
oners should not be paraded when the
guard fell in at night. They were here
at tattoo and at taps all right. The Of
ficer of the guard, said several soldiers,
had quite a long talk with one Of the
prisoners-young Morton-just after
tattoo, at which time the entire guard
had been inspected by the commanding
officer. But at reveille four most Inn
portant prisoners were gone, and such
was Canker's wrath that not only was

handing officer of the arriving reg
iment reached the spot which he had
planned to occupy with his band, his
staff and all his officers, there in state
and ceremony to receive the citizens
who came in swarms to bid them fare
well, he found it occupied by as many
as eight snowy, goody-laden tables,
presided over by as many as 80 charm
ing maids and matrons, all ready and
eager to comfort and revive the inner
man of his mighty regiment with cof-
fee and good cheer illimitable, and the
colonel swore mighty oath and
pounced on his lnckless officer of the
guard. He had served as q subaltern

how IL was done.

dazed, scratched his head and said:
"Well, I'm damned" Then he turned
to his adjutant. "You were with me
when I saw the general last night and
he told men to put this guard on and
keep this space clear. Now, what d'you
say to that?"
The adjutant glanced over the PEN

men who were successfully posted al
sentries during the night at the back Of
the wooden shell that served az a guard
now in close confinement
in the place of the escaped quartette.
Yet those three were men who had
hitherto been above suspicion, and
there were few soldiers in the regiment
who would accept the theory that any
one Of the three had connived at the es-
cape. As for the sergeant = he had
served four enlistments in the-teenth,
and without flaw in his record beyond
an occasional alteration In the now
distant past, due to the potency of the
poteen distilled by certain Hibernian
experts not far from an old-time plains
fort, where the regiment had rested on
its march cross continent. As for the
oficers-but who would suppose an
officer guilty OF anything of the kind
a fragrant military crime? And yet
men got to asking each other If it were
so that Bugler Curran had carried
note from the prisoner, Morton, to Mr..
Gray about $3.50 that afternoon? And
what was this about Gray's having
urged Brooke to swap tours with him
an hour Later, and what was that story
the headquarters clerks were telling
about Mr.. Gray's coming to the adiu-
tant and begging to be allowed to
''march on" that evening instead Of
Brooke? II wasn't long before these
rumors, somehow, got to Canker's ears,
and Canker seemed to grow as big
again; he fairly swelled with indigna-
ton at thought of such turpitude on
part Of an officer. Then he sent for Gray
1T was the afternoon following the
sailing of the ships with the big brigade
and with pain and bewilderment and
indignation in his brave blue eyes the
youngster came and stood before his
stern superior. Gordon, who sent the
message, and who had heard Canker's
denunciatory remarks, had found time
to scribble word or two: admit
nothing; say nothing; do nothing but
hold your tongue and temper. II G.
insists on answers say you decline ex-
cept in presence Of your legal adsiser."
So there was . scene in the command
er's tent that afternoon. The morning
had not been without its joys. Along

followed by that disease when Chamber
