were still there, their faces clouded

son." said Burleigh, advancing upon
them with outstretched hand, "er-Mr.
Folsom merely wants to hear further
details from Lannion. wish to extend
my congratulations to you and-ah-
this young lady, first upon the for
tunate escape of your brother" and
he bowed over his distended stomach
to Elinor, ''and second upon the part
played by yours" and he repeated the
bow to Jess, who, however, shrank
away from the extended hand. 1T will
go far to counteract the stories that
I-ah-er-believe you know about
that were in circulation, and most un-
justly, doubtless, at-er-his expense"
"Who put them in circulation, Mai.
Burleigh?" asked Pappoose, her brown
eyes studying his face as unfiinchingly
as had her fathers gaze moment be-
fore.
THAT, my dear young lady Ter
cannot surmise. They are mostly i'm
aginative, ! dare say"
But Miss Folsom looked unmollified,
Miss Dean agitated, and Burleigh him
self had many reason for feeling i'll
at ease. just at the time of all others
when he most desired to stand on good
terms with the well-to-do old trader
and his charming daughter he found
himself the object of distrust. He was
thinking hard and far from hopefully
as moment later he fastened down
the street.
Tell them to send up my buggy,
quick" were his orders as he stepped
within his Office doorway. Then low
ering his voice: HAS Capt. Newhall

The captain was here, sir. Left

difference-to Cheyenne and expected
to find letter or package from you,

partment headquarters on your desk,

back to his subordinate, his face to the
light, and growing grayer every mo-
ment. One was a curt notification
that $4,000 would be needed at once at
Warrior Gap to pay contractors and
workmen, and directing him to send
the amount from the funds in his keep
ing. The other read as follows:
Have all transportation put in read
mess for immediate field service. Every
wheel may be needed"
This he tossed carelessly aside. Over
the first he pondered deeply, his yell
low-white face growing dark and hag-
gard.
Ten thousand dollars to be sent at
once to Warriors Gap! Workmen's
pay! Who could have given such an
order? Who would have imagined
payment would have to be made before
July, when some reasonable amount
of work had been done? What could
laborers do with their money up there,
even if they had it? 1t was preposter-
our! 1t was risky to attempt to send
it. But what was infinitely worse for
hint was impossible. The money
was practically already gone, out-not
to Warrior Gap.

far more honored in the breach than

of that sinfully thriving town were
luckier, as rule, if they went by

of government mules and a corral full
of public vehicles at his command was
a monarch in the eyes of the early set

priced luxuries, he had on deposit in

CHAPTER XI.

That evening, when John Folsom,
half an hour earlier than the stipulated
time, drove the girls and their friend,
Lieut.. Loomis, out to the fort, Maj.
Burleigh was left to his own devices,
and his face plainly showed that he
was far from pleased with the way
things were going. The news that
Marshall Dean had been placed in ar
rest by order of the commanding Off
Ger of Fort Emory, following as it did
close on the heels of the tidings of
that young officers prompt and SOL
dierly handling of the crisis at the
ranch, made Folsom boil over with
wrath. His first word was one of eau
ton, however. Hush" he said.
Speak low. Yonder stands his sis
ter. The girls must not know yet"
Then, leading the way into the library
and closing the door behind them, he
demanded all particulars Lannion
could give him, which were few enough.
THE lieutenant halted the troop out
side the post" said the indignant
ranchman, "had it dismount there
while he rode on in to report to the
commanding officer for instructions
The colonel was taking his nap after
lunch, and the adjutant was at the
office, and what does he do but get
up from his desk solemn-like, and when
the lieutenant says: i report the ar
rival of troop c at the post, SIR, the
adjutant didn't answer a word, but
reached out and got his saber and be-
gan buckling it around him, and then
he put on his cap and gloves, and says
he: Lieut.. Dean, I'm sorry, but my
instructions are to place you in close
arrest, by order of Col. Stevens Why,
you could have knocked me down with
the kick of gopher l. was so dunn
founded! The lieutenant he didn't say
anything for a minute, but turned
white and looked like he could have
knocked the top of the adjutant's head
off. An officer will be sent to take
charge of the troop said the adjutant,
AN l suppose you'd better confine
yourself to your tent, as the colonel
means to have them camp there day
or two, until he hears from Capt.
Brooks as to quarters We'll, will YOU
have the goodness to say what charges
have been laid against me?' said Mr..
Dean, and the adjutant hemmed and
hawed, and lowed that the colonel
hadn't formally drawn 'em up yet, but
that copy would be served on him as
soon as they were ready.

SONG BIRDS.

Sing. little bird your sweetest song,
And let each note, throat-warm and
clear,
Float on the breezes far and long.
To charm the listening ear.
The trill that swells your vibrant throat,
And fills your little heart with glee.
Finds in my breast an answering note
Akin to ecstacy.
And blended with your tender lay
Comes the soft murmur of the stream.
Like wind -harps in the boughs that play
Sleep-music to a dream.
Lute-like IL fingers on the breeze,
Then slowly fades. and. fading, dies.
Like spirit voices in the trees,
Half laughter and half sighs.
Among the locusts blossoms faint,
And drunk of perfume, mods the Jay.
The mourning-dove, with sad complaint,
Fits through the elders gray,
The sparrow chirps within the grass,
Joe-pie-weed hides the whistling quail.
The blackbirds at their daily mass
Chant anthems in the swail.
The brown thrush in his trailing flight
From shrub to hedge, from hedge to
vine
The freckles on his breast as bright
AS bubbles on new wine.
VIII drop a soulful lyric here,
half-song sonnet there,
In notes as running water clear,
Beseeching as prayer.
Here and everywhere, and always,
The dangerous summer through,
In briery vine-wreathed Railways
The catbird's song is due.
He sings the summer sunshine in,
The autumn sunlight down.
While L, in homely stanzas. pin

Th0ughtfulness.

The great trouble with most of us
is that we are so thoughtless. 1t
never seems to occur to US that there
can be any little act of kindness
which we are called upon to do.
Sometimes it may be giving a seat
to lady or an old man in a car.
Sometimes it may be the CHEEKY
Good morning." to the conductor
as we enter or leave. Sometimes it
may be the little word spoken to the
newsboy, or the courteous thanks ex-
pressed to the house servant when
her long days work is over. Life is
made up of these little things.-De-
troit Free Press.

when. as now, disbursIng officers were
forbidden TO gamble. but when, not as
now. the law was dead letter. Bur.
leigh had gambled for .vsrs; had, with
little remorse, ruined more than one
man, and yet stood now awe-stricken
and dismayed and wronged by Fate,
since luck had turned at last against
him. Large sums had been lost to
players as ineXorable as he himself
had been. Large sums had been di-
verted from the government channels
in his charge, some to pay his so-called
debts of honor, some to cover abstrac-
tions from other funds, "robbing Pc
ter to pay Paul" some to silence peo-
pie who knew too much, some, ay,
most of it, in fact, to cover margins,
and once money gets started on that
grade it slips through ones fingers like
quicksilver. At the very moment when
Anson Burleigh's envious cronies were
telling each other he stood far ahead
of the world, the figures were telling
him he stood twenty thousand dollars
behind it, and that, too, when he was
confronted by two imperative calls for
Warrior Gap, another for sum almost
as big to stake" man who never yet
had turned an honest penny, yet held
the quartermaster where he dare not
say so-where indeed he dare not say
no.
IF you haven't it you know where
you can get it-where you have often
got 1T before, and where you'd better
get it before it's too late;" these
were words said to him that very
morning, in tones so low that none
but he could hear; yet they were
ringing in his head now like the boom
of some tolling bell. Time was when
he had taken government money and
turned it into handsome profit
through the brokers of San Francisco
and Chicago. But. as Mr.. John Oak
hurst remarked: There's only one
thing certain about luck, and that
is it's bound to change" and change
it had, and left him face to face with
calamity and dishonor. Where was
he to raise the ten thousand dollars
that must be sent to the post quar-
termaster at Warrior Gap? The end
of the fiscal year was close at hand.
He dare not further divert funds from
one appropriation to cover shortages
in another He could borrow from
the banks, with a good indorser, but
what indorser was there good enough
but John Folsom ?-the last man now
whom he could bear to have suspect
that he was in straits. Folsom was
reported to be worth two hundred
thousand dollars, and that lovely girl
would inherit half his fortune There
lived within his circle no man, no
woman in whose esteem Burleigh so
blundered at the start. Damn that
cub who dared to lecture him on the
evils of poker! Was a boy lieutenant
to shame him before officers of the
generals staff and expect to go un-
whipped? Was that butt-headed sub
altern to be the means of running his
prospects right here and now when he
stood so sorely in need of aid? Was
the devil himself in league against
him, that that boys sister should turn
out to be the closest friend old Fol-
SONS daughter ever had-a girl to
whom father and daughter both were
devoted, and through her were doubt
less interested in the very man he
had been plotting to pull down? Bur.
leigh sayagely ground his teeth to-
gether.
