It was sufficient; in the study they
found a quiet, calm. although rather
haggard-looking man, who greeted
Winters companion courteously, with
a southern accent, and very good
manner. He was presented to the col
onel as Mr.. Mercer. He would have
excused himself, protesting that he
was just going, but the colonel took
the words out of his mouth: Ralph,
here, has cigar for me-that is all
came for; see you at the Touraine,
Ralph, tomorrow for luncheon, then"
He did not see the man again; neither
did he see Ralph, although he made
good, so far as in him lay, his fiction
of an engagement at the Touraine.
But Ralph could not come; and Winter
had lunched, instead, with an old
friend at his club, and had watched,
through q stately Georgian window
the shifting greenery of the common
in an east wind.
All through the luncheon the SOL
dier's mind kept swerving from the
talk in hand to Cary MERGERS face.
Yet he never expected to see it again.
Three years later he did see it.; and
this second encounter, of which, by the
way, Mercer was unconscious, was the
beginning Of an absorbing chapter in
his life. A short space Of time that
shapter occupied; yet into it crowded
mystery, peril, a wonderful and awful
spectacle, the keenest happiness and
the cruelest anxiety. Let his days be
ever SO many, the series Of events
which followed MERGERS temperance
will not be blurred by succeeding ex-
periences; their vivid and haunting
pictures will burn through commoner
and later happenings as an electric
torch flares through layers Of mist
Nothing, however, could promise
adventure less than the dull and chilly
late March evening when the chapter
began. Nor could anyone be less on
the lookout for adventure, or even in
terest, than was Rupert Winter. In
truth, he was listless and depressed.
When he alighted from his cab in
the great court of the Rock Island sta
ton he found Haley, his old orderly,
with hand on the door-hasp. Haley's
military stoicism of demeanor could
not quite conceal a certain agitation
at least not from the colonel's shrewd
eye, used to catch the moods of his
soldiers. He strangled kind of
sigh. Doesn't like it much more than

Haley, busy repelling a youthful por-

hand-luggage, found an empty settee

of the waiting room and disposed his
