cover the value of that property, and
she had come, friendless as she was. to
ask if he thought a suit against the
steamship company would result in
their getting anything. Captain Pet-a
gentleman, that is, who had been most
kind in San Francisco, had promised to
do something, but now that the general
was dead what could he do? There was
no doubling the identity or intentions
of that gentleman, thought Loring, as
he gravely replied that they would only
be defeated in any such attempt.
Then, with swimming eyes, she had
bemoaned her past, her fatal errors,
her greed for wealth and position that
had led her to stif1e her own heart
throbs and deceive the one true friend
she had ever known, and Loring broke
short the conversation by leaving the
room. Then she came again, alone, and
he refused to see her. Then she came
with Mrs. Burton, and the house was
in litter, and he broke up his estab-
lishment and moved back to the hotel,
to the scandal of his landlord, as has
been said, who made loud complaint to
the powers at headquarters.
Then she wrote that she was being
followed and prosecuted by man she
never knew before, the man who was
with her the night Mr.. Lambert said
they met them in front of Mrs. Bur-
toms, dreadful man who said that he
believed that she loved Lieutenant Lor-
ing and made threats against him. She
implored Loring's protection, and Lor
ing saw through the fimsy device and
returned the letter unanswered and
later letters unopened, and then the
woman seemed to take fire and in turn
she threatened him.
And now she had brought Mrs. Bur
ton to witness his cruelty to her, the
meek. suffering girl to whom he was
pledged and plighted, who had followed
him to Omaha in hopes of softening his
heart and winning back his wayward
love, as was the burden of her sorrow
ing song to that most sympathetic of
women, already burning with prejudice
and fancied wrong of her own. One
woman soorned'' is more than enough
for many a reputation. Two, in double
harness, would wreck that of st. An
thony.
All this and more had sped through
Loring's mind that night and was up
permost in his thoughts as he stood
there facing his patient commander.
The generals fine, clear cut features
olouded with anxiety as he noted the
long silence ard hesitation. Again he
spoke, with grave yet gentle reproof in
his tone.

fellow, it is our right to know"

than tell mere suspicion. Give me au-

An expert safe opener was ordered

the fact that Colonel Stevens himself
had met him on arrival and wished to
take him out to the fort and was i'll

man with eager eyes, confident that en-
gineer must be the army name for de-
tective. He studied the hotel register.
He curiously examined all relics of the
late lamented Newhall, who disappeared
before Burieigh. He questioned the
clerks at the corral, recOnnoitered the
neighborhood, asked what were their
means of defense, turned inside out a
worn yet shapely boot that had been the
captains, babe man after man to de-
scribe that worthy and finally walked
away from the depot, having picked up
lots of information and impaired none.

DO you understand this?' asked the
general, as he pointed to the letter in
Loring's hand. 1t was brief enough. 1t
was written by clerk in Burleigh' s
Office to fellow clerk in that of the

latter had felt'it his duty, he said, to
inform his immediate superior, who in
turn had laid it before the chief of
staff. 1t read as follows:

CHAPTER XXI.

Another week, and all Wyoming was
awake and thrilling. There had been
dreadful doings on the Big Horn, and
John Folsom's prophecy had come true.
Enticing one detachment after another
from the stockade at Warrior Gap by
show of scattered bands of braves, that
head devil of the Ogallalas, Red Cloud,
had gradually surrounded three COM
panies with ten times their force of
fighting men and slaughtered every sol
der of the lot.
There had been excitement at Gate
City during a brief visit of the general
and his aid inspecting the affairs of
Major Burleigh, who. confined to his
bed by nervous prostration and forbid
den by the doctor to see anybody, bad
nevertheless sent his keys and books and
bank account, and, to the mystiication
of the chief, more money was found in
the big Office safe at the depot quarter
masters than was necessary to cover his
accOun liability.
The general and his inspector were
fairly puzzled. They personally ques-
toned the bank cashier and the quarter
MASTER clerks. They ransacked that
safe and poured over the books, both
there and at the bank. The only queer
thing discovered was that large sum
of money-$5, 900 or so-had been with
drawn from the bank in cash one day
and within the week replaced.
Then the general had to turn back to
Cheyenne and hasten thence TO the forts
along the Platte to expedite the sending
of his soldiers to the relief of the be
leaguered posts along the Big Horn, the
tidings of the massacre reaching Gate
City and plunging Fort Emory in
mourning only few hours after his de-
parture.
Then came still another excitement
at Gate City. Major Burieigh had sud
denly become endowed with new youth
and energy. He who was declared by
his physicians to be in a critical condi
ton, one demanding the utmost quiet,
he who could not even see the depart
ment commander and of whom the doc
tor had said it might be weeks before
he was again fit for duty, bad sprung
from his bed, dictated certain letters,
wired important news to the chief quar-
termaster at Omaha, demanded of the
boose to bear him over the newly COM
pleted mountain division to Cheyenne,
had taken every cent from his private
safe, had entered his office at an early
hour, satchel and safe key in hand, was
COMPOUNDED by the sight of two clerks
there smoking forbidden pipes and,
turning, without word had fed. One
of these was the young man who so re-
Gently had written to confdant in
Omaha telling Of Burleigh's queer do
ings and his own desire to get from un
der.
It transpired later that Burleigh went
back to the bank, presented a check for
the balance to his credit and demanded
currency, but the cashier had become
alarmed by the Investigations made by
the general and had temporized, said he
must consult the president and asked
the major to call two hours later,
whereat Burleigh had taken alarm. He
was looking CHASTITY, said the cashier
It was apparent to every one that, men,
tally, bodily or both. the lately debonair
and successful man of the world had
lost his grin.
