DIR ROSS ORDERS MAI FROM THE HOSPITAL

DO you dare to insult me?" retorted
the iOr.
Call it what you please. sir, said the
indignant doctor; Insult, if you wish. L
am responsible to my own department
for my acts as an officer, and, if you OBJ
ject sir [ am ready to hold myself re-
sponsible to you as a man. l alone am
the master of this hospital, and l alone
can receive men and discharge them. Do
you hear and understand me, Major Ger
mon?"
II do; and at another time shall call
YOU to account" said the irate major.
You will not dare to do anything Of
the kind. l think, sir, that l know you;
but, should you call me, neither you nor
your representative will have to call
twice. You have transcended your duty,
sir; and it is insolent for you to inter
fere with my department. You can come
here to inspect, at the proper time, and
that time is designated by the regula-
tons; but, sir, when you dare to come to
my hospital, and order one of my pa
tients to the guardhouse, you force me to
forget that you are an officer, and to in
sist that you are-that you are vulgar
bully. And if, sir, you do not take your
bloated carcass out of my office, /, sir,
shall kick it out as if it were a dogs"
The doctor was mad. But it was not
this alone that conveyed the idea to the
major. DR.. Ross was a stalwart, strap
ping young man under forty; his hand
was as light as a feather when it touched
a wound or a patients pulse; but, as the
major saw both hands doubled up, they

lie very prudently got out.
Early the following morning Maj. Ger
mon sent a courier to Judge Loring's fac
tory. The courier carried a letter, in
which the major, without any discredit to
himself, narrated the manner in which
he rescued Miss Florence: and gave a
brief of the events of Importance that
had transpired at the Fort.
The letter was forwarded to the judge,
and that gentleman delegated deputy
to take charge of his business and start
ed, as fast as horses could carry him, for
Fort Clark His heart was a perfect
yeast of indignation against his rebellioUs
daughter, and OF love for her. Judge
Loring rode at once to Mai Germon' S
headquarters
My dear judge" said the major, ''be-
fore answer your long catalogue of queS-
tons you must promise me that you viii
not get angry at Miss Florence"
The judge bowed. and tried TO smile, to
show that he agreed to this.
Now" said the major, 81 will tell YOU
all about it more fully than l could do in
letter. Yet as briefly as if l We're writ
ing to headquarters.
The judge nodded again, and the major
proceeded to tell his story. When he
had concluded. the judge said:
DO You mean to tell me that my
daughter has been daily visiting this
man."
Il am so informed; but as DR.. Ross re-
fuses to discharge him from the hospital,
and even forbids my going there, of
course l cannot speak from my personal
knowledge replied u9e major.

homes and making it possible to lay by
savings for old age and disability. That
all the people are participating in this
great prosperity is seen in every Ameri.
can community and shown by the ener-
nous and unprecedented deposits in our
savings banks. Our duty is the care and
security of these deposits, and their safe
investment demands the highest integ-
rity and the best business capacity of
those in charge of these repositories of
the peoples earnings.
We have vast and intricate business,
built up through years of toll and strug-
gle, in which every part of the country
has its stake, which will not permit of
either neglect or of undue selfshness. No
narrow, sordid policy will subserye it.
The greatest skill and wisdom on the
part of the manufacturers and producers
will be required to hold and increase it.
Our industrial enterprises which have
grown to such great proportions affect the
homes and occupations Of the people and
the welfare of the country. Our capacity
to produce has developed so enormously
and our products have so multiplied that
the problem of more markets requires our
urgent and immediate attention Only
broad and enlightened policy will keep
what we have. No other policy will get
more. In these times of marvellous busi-
ness energy and gain we ought to be look
ing to the future, Strengthening the weak
places in our industrial and commercial
systems that we may be ready for any

CHAPTER XyI.-(Continued0


There were a few seconds of silence,
then the clear notes of Il bugle, out on
the parade ground called ''taps"-nine
o'clock-when only the officers were priv
ileged to be away from their quarters.
The sergeant ran OUT, and Robert Brace
bridge started to follow; but he stopped
and came back to the bed and seized his
comrades hand.
Colin" he cried, 'do you blame me?'
Blame you, dear boy? What for"
asked Colin, as he pressed his hand.
For what has beer done"
You can never do anything that is not
right. Good night Robert" replied
Colin.
"Gentlemen,' said the major, bowling to
the officers, ''meet me at my headquar-
tiers at nine o'clock tomorrow morning
The officers salutcd and all, excepting
Capt. Phelps, who was tying up the fatal
bundle, followed the major out. For
ence Loring had risen from her knees,
but stood looking at Colin with gaze
In which love and anxiety were mingled.
When they had gone out DR.. Ross
came in, and sitting on the edge of Colin s
bed. he said:
II am sorry for you. my poor fellow.
Surely you have had trials more than
your share since you first came to this
accursed place"
Thank you, Doctor; but I have tried
not to merit suffering. and when it came
/ have tried my best to bear it like Il
man"

CHAPTER XVII.

Had DR.. Ross been an unfeeling man
he could have sent Colin Morton to the
guardhouse next day as ''convalescent,
or cured" but he did nothing of the
kind. He was one of those doctors who
appreciate that the greatest sufferings
that mortals can endure are not physical.
He knew that the mind and the emotions
have more effect on the physical health
than bullets and bruises; and that man
may be sick unto death who has no Wis
ible injury; and that woman may die
of a broken heart when her friends an
nounce it as "a rapid decline"
HE is not fit to go to the guardhouse."
said DIR. Ross, the next morning, when
Maj. Germon came with an order to send
him to that wretched place.
II wish him to go there, so that he
may be safe" said the major.
"You don't want to kill him before he
is sentenced?" said DR.. Ross savagely.
