Gray's curly head was inclined toward
the dark locks of his fair partner. His
eyes were fastened on her family flush
ing face. They made a very pretty pic
ture, said people who looked on know
ingly, and so thought the officer in the
uniform of a colonel of infantry, who,
while talking calmly to Mr.. Prime full
30 yards away, watched them with eyes
that were full of sadness. How could
he see at that distance that her eyes,
clear and radiant, We're seldom uplifted
to the ardent gaze of her escort, and
were at the moment looking straight
at him? How could he hear at that dis
lance the prompt response, given with
an inclination of the bonny head to
indicate her meaning?
'There's where your thanks are due,
Mr.. Gray"

CHAPTER XII

Opinion was divided at Camp Merritt
as to whether Billy Gray should or
should not stand trial. Confident as
were his friends of his innocence of all
completely in Morton's escape, there re-
manned the fact that he had telephoned
for carriage, that carriage had come
and that a carriage with four men, APP
parently soldiers, had driven rapidly
downward along Point Lobos avenue,
1t was seen by half dozen policemen
as 1t shot under the electric light or gas
lamp. Then there was the bundle inside
his rolled overcoat that Gray had per-
sonally handed Morton when a prison
er. Everybody agreed he should have
sent it by orderly-everybody, that is,
except some scores of young soldiers in
the ranks who could see no harm in
it having been done that way, especially
two ''Delta Sigs" in the -teenth. Then
there were the long conferences in the
dark. What did they meant All things
considered, the older and wiser heads
saw that, as the lieutenant could or
would make no satisfactory explana-
ton of these to his colonel, he should
to a court-or take the consequences.
you've made mess of the thing and
an ass of yourself, Billy" was Gordon's
comprehensive If not consolatory sum-
mary of the matter, land as Canker has
been raped for one thing or another
by camp, division and brigade com
manders,o one after another, he feels that
he's got to prove that he isn't the only
fool in the business. You'd better EN-
ploy good counsel and prepare for
fight"
Cant afford it," said Billy, briefly,
"and I'm blowed if I'll ask my dear old
dad to come to the rescue. He's had
to cough up (shame on your slang,
Billy far too much already. tell you,
Gordon, I'm so fixed that I can't ex-
plain these things unless I'm actually
brought to trial. -it's-well, YOU
have no secret societies at the Point as
we do at college, so you can't fathom
1t. I'm no more afraid of standing
trial than I ana of Squeers-and be
ID to him!"
Good Lawd, youngster-you, you
aren't quite such an ass as to suppose
a COURTS going to regard any schoolboy
obligation as paramount to that which
your oath of Office demands. Look
hyuh, Billy, your heads just added!
l can't work on you, but somebody
must!"
And Gordon went away very low in
his mind. He liked that boy. He loved
keen. alert, snappy soldier on drill,
and Billy had no superior in the bat
TALON when it came to handling squad
or company. The adjutant plainly saw
the peril of his position, and further
consultation with his brother officers
confirmed him in his fears. Schuyler,
the brigade commissary, being much
with the misunderstanding with them,
in fact, when he was not dancing at
tendance on Miss Prime-heard all this
camp talk and told her. Thus it hap
pened that the very next day when
he drove with the cousins (Nlr. Prime
being the while in conference with the
detectives still securing the city for the
young deserter, who the father now felt
confident was his missing boy), Miss
Lawrence looked the captain full in
the face with her clear, searching eyes

and pumped at him the point-blank
question:
Capt. Schuyler, do Mr.. Gray's broth
err officers really consider him in dan
ger of dismissal?"
Miss Lawrence, grieve to say that
not one has any other opinion now"
There could be no doubt of it. Amy
Lawrence turned very pale and her
beautiful eyes filled.
SIT is shame!" she said, after
moments struggle to conquer the
trembling of her lips. "Has-is there
no 6ne-infuential enough-or with
brains enough (this with returning
color) to take up his case and clear
him?"
They were whirling through the
beautiful drive of the Golden Gate
park, passing company after company
at drill. Even as Amy spoke Schuyler
lifted his cap and Miss Prime bowed
and smiled. A group of regimental Of
ticers, four in number, stood, apparent
ly supervising the work, and as Miss
Lawrence quickly turned to see who
they might be, her eyes met those of
Col. Armstrong. Five minutes later the
carriage returning drew up, as though
by some order from it's occupants, at
that very spot. Armstrong and his adj
jutant were still there and promptly
joined them.
Long weeks afterward that morning
lived in Stanley Armstrong; memory.
1t was one of those rare August days
when the wind blew from the south
east, beat back the drenching Pacific
fogs and let the warm sun pour upon
the brilliant verdure of that wonderful
park. Earth and air, distant sea and
dazzling sky, all seemed clarifying their
Creator. Bright-hued birds flashed
through the foliage and thrilled the
ear with their caroling. The plash of
fountain fell softly on the breeze, min
gled with the rustling of the luxuriant
growth of leaf and flower close at hand.
1t was not chance that brought the
stalwart soldier instantly to Amy's
side. Her gaze was upon him before
the carriage stopped, and irresistibly
| drew him. The man of mature years,
the hero Of sharp combats and stirring
campaigns with fierce and savage foe,
the commander of hundreds of eager
and gallant men, obeyed without
thought of demur the unspoken sum-
mons of girl yet in her teens. There
was new light in her clear and beau
tiful eyes, flush upon her soft and
rounded cheek, little flutter, possibly,
in her kind and loyal heart. Heaven
knows his heart beat high with an emo
ton he could not subdue, though his
bearing was grave and courteous as
ever, but about that sweet and flushing
face there shone the halo of woman's
brave determination, and no sooner had
he reached the carriage side than, bend
ing toward him, she spoke. Mildred
Prime could not repress little gasp OF
amaze.
"Col. Armstrong, will you kindly
open the carriage door? I want to talk
with you a moment"
Without word he wrenched the
handle and threw wide the doom Light

PAULDING OF LONG ISLAND CELE-
HRATED PIPpIN APPLE CIDER

This pure cider Is served on steamers on
the American line, and at the Waldorf-As-
toria and leading family srocers in New
York city.
Pauldings Pippin cider is made from
the pure juice OF hand picked apples from
his own mill on the premises. 1t Is abso-
lutely pure apple juice, and all the effer-
vescence is natural, and we guarantee il
to be the choicest cider in the world.
Leading physicians in New York and
Brooklyn recommend this cider to their
patients, its perfect purity is guaranteed.
In Pauding's Pippin cider, only Long Is
land Newtons Pippins are used. The ap-
pies are left on the trees until late in Oc-
tober when they are hand picked and
placed in a dry room to ripen
Paulding says "the apples are thorough
ly crlHhed in his own mill and the juice
pressed out and run into sweet clean
casks" The difference between crushing
and grinding apples is very great
You will know the difference between
crushed app es and ground apples il you
take some stems and chew them you will
find that bitter taste which is not with
Paulding's crushed apples. This cider has
not the extreme sweetness of the Russet
cider, and everyone will find the Pauld-
'ug's Pippin cider just right to take with
dinner. LIPPMAN BROS,
