CHAPTER XIV.

At the staff Officers Ball.

Az the starr OfflCof0' Ball.
The young officer glanced up hastily
lat sound Of approaching footsteps, and
rose to his feet to permit Of my pas
sage. He wore the full dress uni
form Of an artilleryman, and his evil
dent surprise at my presence made
me realize the necessity of addressing
him.
Lieutenant" asked courteously,
resting one hand easily upon the
balustrade, could you inform me if
General Sheridan and those members
OF the staff who accompanied him
down the lines this afternoon have
yet returned?"'
They have not, sir"
"Ah, l was in hopes they might
have arrived by this time"
bowed to them both, and passed
slowly down the wide stairway, sew
eral couples rising as l drew near
to permit of my passage. The lower
hall was very comfortably filled with
figures moving hero and there in con-
verse, or occupying seats pressed
close against the walls. The greater
portion were attired in uniforms of
the various branches of service, yet
! observed not few civilian suits,
and a considerable number of women,
some wearing the neat dress of the
army nurse, others much more elabo-
rately attired-daughters of the neigh
borhood. probably, with a sprinkling
of wives and sisters of the soldiery.
Guards, leaning upon their muskets,
stood in statuesque poses on either
side of the main entrance, while the
wide archway, draped with flags, open
Ing into the ballroom, revealed an
inspiring glimpse Of swiftly revolving
figures in gay uniforms and flashing
skirts. Over all floated the low,
swinging music of the band.
A fat, Notwithstanding man Of
forty. an infantry major, but wearing
staff decorations, and evidently Of
,ficiating in the capacity of floor-man-
ager, after whispering word in the
ear Of another of the same kind beside
the ballroom door, hastily pushed his
way through the laughing throng di-
rectly toward me-
"Good-evening. Colonel" he said,
bowling deeply. "Your face is not
familiar to me, but you will permit me
to introduce myself-Major Monsoon,
of General Sheridan's staff"
accepted the fat, shapeless hand
he extended. and pressed 1t warmly.

The Majors round, red face glowed
with welcome.

YOU may be sure of cordial greet
ing. Will you kindly step this way?"
AS we slowly elbowed our way for
ward, all desire to escape from the
ordeal fled, and / assumed the risks
Of the masquerade with the reckless
audacity of my years. Before we
reached the ballroom my conductor,
his fat countenance fairly beaming
with cordially, had stopped at least
twenty times to present me to various
military titles, and l had accepted in

least knowing who gave them, or
where they were to be fulfilled. Final

to whom the Major had spoken previ-
Gus to seeking me, and learned
through the introduction which fol-
lowed that l was in the presence of
Brigadier-General Carlton, chief of
staff.
For a moment. as I responded to
the hearty cordially Of his welcome,
l was enabled to take my first glance
at the ballroom, and found it to my
unaccustomed soldier eyes an inspir-
ing spectacle. The room was magnifi-
Gently large,-a surprising apartment,
indeed, even in go superb Southern
home as this had evidently been, and
Its proportions were magnified by
numerous mirrors extending from
floor to ceiling, causing the more
distant dancers to appear circling in
space. Brilliantly illumined by means
Of hanging chandeliers that oscillated
Slightly to the merry feet; decorated
lavishly everywhere with festooned
flags and tastefully arranged NUM-
lions of war; gay with the ;,yess uni,
forms of the men and the handsome
gowns of the women, it composed

looked upon in years as to hold me
fascinated. The constant clatter of
tongues. the merry laughter, the flash
ing OF bright eyes, and the CLEAN of
snowy shoulders. tho good-humored
repartees caught as the various
couples circle swiftly past, the quick,
musical gliding Of flying feet over the
waxen floor. the continuous whirl OF
the intoxicating waltz, and over all
the inspiring strains Of Strauss,
caused my heart to bound, and
brought with 1t an insane desire to
participate.
Yet gazing. entranced, upon the ami
mated scene. and feeling deeply the
intoxication Of the moment, my eyes
were eagerly searching that happy
throng for sight Of one fair woman's
face. Strange as 1t must seem to 9TH

her might mean betrayal and DEATH

The Indians came to Cambridge with
an unbroken string of victories and a
determination to win. Harvard pre-

York, where they stayed last night,
and all seemed to be in the pink of
condition. Score at end of second pc
