and bade him be patient-he hoped and
believed opportunity would be afforded
for an interview that evening. Then he
hunted up a subaltern Of his own grade
whom he knew would probably be the
detail for acknowledgement that
evening. Brooke" he said, will YOU
swap tours with me if Gordon's willing?
I have-1'd like nightly to exchange
if it's all the same to you"
Brooke hesitated. He had social
hopes and aspirations of his own. BY
Swapping" with Gray he might find
himself doomed to a night in camp
when he had accepted for some pleas
ant function in town.
Thought you were keen to go in to-
n~ight-right after retreat" he hazard
ed.
well, I was" said Gray, pulling his
drab campaign hat down over his eyes
to shut out the glare of the westering
sun. But I've got-a new wrinkle"
"Some bid for Friday? That's your
tour, isn't it" And Brooke began
counting on his fingers. "IVait till l
look at my notebook. Friday? Why,
that's the night of the Burton's card
party-thought you didn't know
them"
II DON'T" said Gray, glad enough to
escape the other question. "And you
hate card parties. you know you do.
It's a go, is it? I'll see Gordon at once"
And off he went, leaving Brooke to WON
der why he should be so bent on the ar
rangement.
But Gordon proved an unexpected
foe to the plan. Cant be done, Billy"
said he, sententiously. "Canker watch
es those details like a hawk. He hasn't
forgotten you only came off two days
ago, and If I were to mount you to-
night he'd mount me-with both feet"
think there's any use in asking
him?" quetied the boy, tossing a back
ward glance toward Canker's tent.
"Not unless you're suffering for an
other snub. That man loves to say no
as much as any girl I ever asked, and
he doesn't do it to be coaxed, either.
Best leave it alone, Billy"
And then the unexpected happened.
Into the tent, with a quick, impetuous
step, came the commanding officer Him
self, and something had occurred to
stir that gentleman t. the core. His
eyes were swapping and his head was
high.

ance, charged with Lord knows what
all, wants to tell me his story and prove
his Innocence"
"You let him alone" growled his
senior. Remember what Canker said,
or you'll go In arrest. What call has
Morton on you, I'd like to know"
I. The lad flushed. Fraternity was a
very sacred thing in the Il 3 Z. 1t
was 1.-THE most exclusive crowd at the
varsity" Its membership was pledged
to one another by unusual ties. 1t was
the hardest society for a fellow to get
into in any n of the seven colleges
whereat it fourished, and it's mystic
bonds were not shaken of with the
silken gown and mortar board" of
undergraduate days, but followed its
membership through many a maturer
year. 1t was a society most college men
might ask to join in vain. Money, So
cial station, influence were powerless.
Not until a student had been under OBJ
%servation two whole years and was
thoroughly known could he hope for a
"bid' to become a Delta Sig" Not
ulI1A duOC1cI SlA uOuLuS OF
could he sport it's %colors, and not until
he formally withdrew from it's fold,
in post graduation years, could he con-
slider himself absolved from its mild
obligations. But the boast of the "Del-
ia Sig" had ever been that no one of
its membership had ever turned a deaf
a to a fellow in need of aid. Who of
its originators ever dreamed Of such a
thing as its drifting into and becoming
a factor in the affairs of the regular
army?
No wonder Gray stood for a moment,
the paper still in his hands, %irresolute,
even disturbed. Not to answer the ap-
peal meant to run counter to all the ten
cts of his fraternity. To answer might
mean arrest and court-martial for de-
liberate disobedience of orders. Canker
has nc more mercy than an Indian. 1t
was barely 4s hours since he had been
publicly warned by an experienced old
captain that he would find no guard

riously mar his prospects to start now

with Squeers down on him." and as
that lynx-eyed commander was ever on
watch for attractions of orders, Billy
well knew that he could not hope to see
and talk with the prisoner and Canker
not hear of it. To ask permission of
Canker would only make matters worse
he was sure to refuse and then re-
emphasize his orders and redouble his
vigilance. To ask the consent of the
officer of the day or the connivance of
the officer of the guard was to invite
them to court arrest and trial on their
own account. He couldn't do that even
to oblige a brother Delt. If only Ned
Craven were officer of the guard some
thing mighb be done-he was a college
man, too, and though not a "Delt," but
rather of a rival set, he would under
stand" and possibly help. Guard mount
was held toward dusk, and that was
four hours away, at.least. The prison
er's note and tone were urgent. An idea
occurred to Billy: What If he could
get Gordon to let him "go on" this
very evening? 1t wasn't his tour. He
had marched off" only two days be-
fore, as he well remembered, for Canker
"had roughed" him up and down about
that little error in copying the list Of
prisoners from the report of the pre-
vious day. Moreover, he had counted
on going to town right after retreat"
dining at the Palace, an extravaganza
not to be thought of at other times,
so as to be on hand when the Primes
and Amy Lawrence came down to din
ner. He had planned it all-even to the
amount of surprise he was to exhibit
when he should discover about when
he had finished his own dinner that
they were just beginning theirs, and
the extent and degree of pleasurable
emotion be might venture on showing
as he fastened over to greet them,
and accepted their offer to be seated
with them, even if he had been so I'M
kind as to dine beforehand, instead of
with them. He had set his heart on
having a chat with Miss Lawrence as
part recompense for all he had lost
that morning, and all this he was think
of while still fumbling over that dis

turplng note. l1,ae vas getting snort,
too; there was 10 telling how much
longer they might stay. Mr.. Prime
had brought his only daughter all that
long journey across the continent on
the assurance that the boy he loved,
with whom he had quarreled, and
whom, in his anger, he had sorely re-
buked, had enlisted there in San Fran
cisco and was serving in a regiment at
the great camp west Of the city. He
had come full of hope and confidence;
he had found the young soldier de-
scribed, and, in his bitter disappoint-
ment, he declared there was no re-
semblance to justify the report sent him
by the boys W uncle, who vowed he
had met him with comrades on the
main street Of the city, that the recog-
milton was mutual, for the boy had dart
ed around the first corner and escaped.
His companions were scattered by the
time Mr.. Lawrence turned to the spot,
after a brief, fruitless search, but pri-
vate detectives had taken it up and do
Gated" yeung Prime and telegraphed
the father in the distant east.
Now, Mr.. Lawrence was away on
business of his own. Written assur-
ances that he couldn't be mistaken lost
weight, and Mr.. Prime, disheartened,
was merely waiting the report Of an
agent who thought he had traced the
boy to Tampa. In "a hours he might
spirit his daughter away on another
chase, and then there would be no fur

to her lovely home in one of the loveliest
OF California valleys, miles away from
the raw fogs and chills Of the Golden
Gate, and would be no more seen among
the camps. That, said Billy GRAY to
himself, would take every bit of sun
shine from his life.
All this detail, or much Of it, he had
learned from the fair lips OF Miss Law
renee herself, for Mr.. Prime and his
daughter seemed to shrink from speak

the first familiar or friendly object she
saw. Then when he came and was pre-
sented, and proved to possess little in

anxious and devoted child, it devolved
upon Miss Lawrence to make much OF
Billy in proportion as they made little
OF him, and for three days or 80 the
blthe young fellow seemed fairly to
walk on air. Moreover, she had taken
him into family condolences in telling
him of the missing Son and brother,
for both her uncle and cousin, she said,
were so sensitive about it they could
not talk to anyone except when actual
ly necessary. They had leaned, as it
were, on the general and on Col. Arm

draw away from both. They ever

The trial of the Slate Engine Co.,
VS.. The Newport Electrict Light Co.,
a synopsis of which was given last
week, continued on Monday there
being two more arguments to be
made In the case. The closing argu
ment was made by g. A. Prouty in his
usual terse, yet clear and convincing
manner. After considering the mat
ter about two hours, the jury came to an
agreement; and separated, returning
a verdict on the following morning
that the defendant receive from the
plaintiff the sum of $1466, 81 damages
and costs. The next case for trial
was, O. j. Ufford VS.. A. D. Hopkins.
This was on action of assumpsit
brought to recover on book account
between the plaintiff and defendant.
The defendant filed specifications in
effect, claiming balance his due.
It seems that the defendant had
acted as agent for the plaintiff for
several years past and aside from his
business transactions as agent in the
plaintiffs business, he had had many
other transactions with the plaintiff
on his own account. Like all book
account cases g, the case was without
interest to spectators as evidence
only had relation to the different
items charged on the respective books
of the parties and to certain notes
orders and mortgages in the case.
This trial lasted from Tuesday
morning until Saturday morning at
which time the jury returned verdict
of $1800.00 and costs in favor of the
plaintiff, Ufford. w. w. Miles appear
ed as council for the plaintiff, and B.
E. Billiard and E. A. Cook for the de-
defendant.
The next case which stood for trial
was that.of Mabel Wright VS.. Robert
Stanhope, but as the parties had
come to a settlement the day before,
nothing remained for the court on
Saturday and recess was taken un
til 2 O'Clock Monday.

COUNTY COURT.

Court opened Monday afternoon,
Sept. 18th, with the two last argu
ments in the case of the Rock Island
Whip Co. VS.. Warren Thread Works.
The jury took the case about five
O'Clock, and after considering the
matter all that night brought in a
verdict on Tuesday morning for the
plaintiff to recover one dollar dam
ages. Thus a verdict for one dollar
was the result of a suit which lasted
nearly four days.
The next case called was the Slater
Engine Go. VS.. Newport Electric
Light Co. This suit has been on the
docket for about two years, and after
having been continued at various
times by each party is now being
tried. The substance of the case is
this: Some time in March of 1896 @.
A. Prouty contracted with the Slater
Engine Co. of Boston for an upright
engine capable of carrying load of
115- horse power, and suitable for
electric light purposes. The engine
was built after the contract was made
and delivered in June Of the same
year. The plaintiffs claim is that
the engine will not carry the number
of horsepower load that the contract
called for and that it will not regulate
properly, which it is claimed is very
essential in an engine for electric
light purposes. In answer to this the
defendants say that the engine does
all that the contract called for and
that if it has failed in any respect it
was the result of poor management
by the engineers employed by the
Electric Light Co. The testimony
was for the most part of a technical
