Having noticed in the Bible a

the character of the wine used.

The wine was Intoxicating: Held

thorough soldier, born into the service
and deeply enamored Of its dangers;
yet beyond this he zen ained a man, q
young man, swayed by those emotions
which when at full tide sweep aside
all else appertaining to life.
His had been a lonely life since
leaving West Point and Joining his
r~egiment-a life passed largely among
rough men and upon the desolate
plains. For months at a time he had
known nothing Of refinement, nor en-.
joyed social intercourse with the op-
posite sex. Yet, beneath his mask OF
impassibility, the heart continued to
beat with fierce desire, biding the time
when 1t should enjoy its own sweet
way. Perhaps that hour had already
dawned; certainly something new,
something inspiring, had now come to
awaken an interest unfelt before, and
leave him idly dreaming Of Swallowed
eyes and flushed, rounded cheeks.
He was in this mood when he over-
took the Rev. Howard Wynkoop and
marked the thoughtful look upon his
pale face.

greeting had been exchanged, "as soon

post trader, and his daughter. ellis and
a majority of the soldiers are killed dur

the girl only escape from the Indians.
They fall exhausted on the plains. A

Brant in command. find them. Hampton
and the girl stop at the Miners Home In
Glencaid, Mrs. Duffy, proprietress. Hamp-
ton talks the future over with Miss Gil
lis-the Kid. She shows him her moth
er's picture and tells him what she can
of her parentage and life. They decide
she shall live with Mrs. Herndon. Nadia
the Kid-runs away from Mrs. Herndon's
and r~ejoins Hampton. He induces her to
go back, and to have nothing more to do
with him. Hampton plays his last game
of cards. He announces to Red Slavin
that he has quit, and then leaves Glen
caid. Miss Phoebe Spencer arrives In
Glencaid to teach Its first school. Miss
Spencer meets Nadia, Rev. Wynkoop,
etc. she boards at Mrs. Herndon's.
Nadia and Lieut.. Brant again meet with
out his knowing who she Is. She informs
him of the coming Bachelor club ball in
honor of Miss Spencer.

The fellow nodded. "Heard-of me

Brant stood staring at him, his mind
occupied with vague garrison rumors
connected with this odd personality.
The name had long been a familiar
one, and he had often had the man
pictured out before him. There could
remain no reasonable doubt of his
identity. but what was he doing there?
Yes, I've heard Of you,"-and his
crisp tone instinctively became that
of terse military command,-"although
we have never met, for I have been
