of the individual are too sacred to be
profaned by legalized tyranny or theft;
his knowledge of history will teach
him how to avoid the legislative mis-
takes of the past; his knowledge of
men will tell him their rights and
wrongs and needs; tested in the band

can be trusted in safe guarding the
public funds. His irreproachable char

honor is a guarantee Of an honorable

the purity of his public life.

attentively when, perhaps, she should
have been gazing at the maneuvers.
Like those latter, possibly, her thoughts
were changing direction.
Not ten minutes later occurred the
collision between the hack and the
heels that resulted in the demolition OF
one and decentralization" of the rider
of the victor. While the latter was led
away by the obedicnt Mr.. Ellis lest the
sight of him should bring on another
nervous attack, Mrs. Garrison was suf-
fering herself to be comforted. Her
nerves were gone, but she had not lost
her head. Lots of Preside danes and
damsels were up on the heights that
day in such vehicles rs the post afford
ed. None appeared in anything so
stylish and elegant as the carriage of
the Prime party. She was a new and
comparative stranger there, and it
would vastly enhance her social
prestige, she argued, to be seen in such
"swell" surroundings. With little
tact and management she might even
arrange matters so that, willy nilly, her
friends would drive her tbither instead
of taking Col. Armstrong back to
camp. That would be a stroke worth
playing. She owed Stanley Armstrong
bitter grudge, and had nursed ii long.
She had known him ten years and hated
him nine of them. Where they met and
when 1t really matters not. In the army
people meet and part in a hundred
places when they never expected to
meet again. She had married Frank
Garrison in hand gallop, said the gar
rison chronicles, "before she had known
him two MONTHS" said the men, before
he knew her at ALL" said the women.
She was four years his senior, if the
chaplain could be believed, and five
months his junior if she could. What
ever might have been the discrepancy
in their ages at the time of the cere-
mony no one would suspect the truth
who saw them now. 1t was he who
looked aged and careworn and
harassed, and she who preserved her
youthful bloom and yivacity.
And now, as she reclined as though
still too weak and shaken TO leave the
carriage and return to saddle, her quick
wits were planning the scheme that
should result in her retaining, and his
losing, the coveted seat. There was lit
tie time to lose. Most of the crowd had
scattered, and she well knew that he
was only waiting for her to leave be-
fore he would return. Almost at the
instant her opportunity came. A COW
cred wagon refined suddenly longside
and kind and sympathetic voices hailed
her: do let us drive you home, Mrs.
Garrison; you must have been terribly
shaken" She recognized at once the
wife and daughter of a prominent Off
Ger of the post.
ooh, how kind you are" she cried. II
was hoping some one would come. In
deed, / did get little wrench" And
then, as she moved. with sudden gasp
of pain, she clasped Miss Lawrence's
extended hand.
"lndeed, you must not move, Mrs.
Garrison" said that young lady. 1--WE

CHAPTER V.

There had been morning of jubilee
In the camp of the Fifth Separate bril-
gade, and row in the tents Of the reg
ulars. Up to within fortnight such
a state of affairs would have been con-
sidered abnormal, for the papers would
have it that the former We're on the
verge of dissolution through plague,
pestience and famine due to the neg
lect of officials vaguely referred to as
"the military authorities" or "the
staff" while up to the coming of Car
ker to command sweet accord had
reigned in the regular brigade, and the
volunteers looked on with envy. But
now great martial magnate had
praised the stalwart citizen soldiery
whom he had passed in review early in
the day, and set them to shouting by
the announcement that, as reward for
their hard work and assduous drill,
they should have their hearts desire
and be shipped across the seas to far
Manila. 1t had all been settled before
hand at headquarters. The "chief" had
known for four days that that partic-
ular command would be selected for
the next expedition, but it ticllled "the
boys" to have it put that way, and the
home papers would make so much Of
it. So there was singing and triumph
and rejoicing all along the eastern
verge Of rocky, roughly paved cross
street, end rank blasphemy across the
gay. To the seanda. sEt 1854 ow of the
s-teenth Infantry come of the recent
robberies had been traced to their very
doors. commissary sergeant had
"weakened," cartman had squealed,
and one of the most popular and at
tractive young soldiers in the whole
command was now a prisoner in the
guardhouse charged with criminal
knowledge of the whole affair, and Of
being large recipient of the ill-gotten
money-Morton, of the adjutant's Of
fee, private in company X.
What made it worse was the allega-
ton that several others, non-commis-
stoned officers and Especial duty men,"
were mixed up in thesmatter, and Can
ker had rasped the whole commissioned
force present for duty in his lecture
upon the subject and had almost init.
mated that officers were connivipg at
the concealment of the guilt of their
sergeants rather than have it leak out
that the felony was committed in
company of their commanding.
He and Gordon had had what was
described as "red-hot" row, all be-
cause Gordon fatty declared that while
something was queer about the case of
the young clerk, he'd bet his bottom
dollar he wasn't thief. Canker said
