THE DOCTORS GIFT

CHAPTER xvlII.-contInued.

Left alone, except for the infantry
man at the other side of the entrance,
and with nothing to do beyond keep
ing back the little crowd of curious
watchers throngins the steps, Hamlin
interested himself in the assembly, al
though keenly conscious of those two
men who continued to linger, staring
into the brilliantly lighted room. That
the two were closely involved with
Mrs. Dupont in some money-making
scheme, closely verging on crime, was
already sufficiently clear to the Ser
geant's mind. He had overheard
enough to grasp this fact, yet the full
nature of the scheme was not appar-
ent. Without doubt it involved Gas
kins as victim; possibly Barrett
also, but Hamlin was not inclined to
interfere personally for the protection
Of either of these officers. They could
look after themselves, and, If they sue
cumbed to tie charms Of the lady,
and 1t cost something, why, that was
none of his affair. But somehow the
suspicion had come to him that he had
accidentally stumbled upon a mora
complicated plot than mere black
mail. Mrs. Dupont's intimacy with
Molly, and the use she was making
of her distant relationship with the
Major to further her ends, made him
eager to delve deeper into her real
purpose. At least these two, apparent

Major Mcdonald, commanding an army

headed for the post. An Indian outbreak

two days ahead of schedule. She decides
TO push on to Fort Dodge by stage In
company with "Sutler Bill'' Moylan. Con-
gales, gambler, is also a passenger:
Hamlin meets the stage with stories or
nepredations committed by the Indians.
The driver deserts the stage when 1ndi-
ans appear. The Indians are twice re-
pulsed. Hamlin and Molly escape in the
darkness. Molly is wounded. Hamlin is
much excited at finding haversack
marked c. S. A. He explains to Molly
that he was in the Confederate service
and dismissed In disgrace under charges
OF cowardice. At the close of the war he
enlisted in the regular service. He says
khe haversack was the property OF one
Capt. LeFevre, who he suspects of being
responsible for his disgrace. Troops ap-

ture had scarcely proven interesting.
The last encounter had been distinct
disappointment. The dispersal of the
card-players was, as anticipated, easily
managed, but the reputation of "Reb"
as killer and bad man had given him
hope of resistance. But instead he
had proven a perfect lamb. Hamlin
crossed his legs and waited, his mind
divided in wonder between what Miss
Mcdonald might want, and the COW
ardice of the fellow just driven out.
The man was actually afraid-afraid
to start row. Yet he had got to his
feet with that intention; 1t was only
after he had looked into Hamlln's
face and asked his name. that he be-
gan to hedge and draw back. Could
he nave recognized him? Could Mrs.
Dupont have warned him of danger in
his direction? That would seem i'm
possible, for the woman had not been
with him for even minute since their
conversation. She had given him q
swift signal at the door of the dance
hall, but that could scarcely account
for his present desire to avoid trouble
An engagement? Probably with Mrs
Dupont. But what was the use of
speculating? Perhaps when the girl
came she would have some licit to
throw on these matters. Surely her
sudden determination to see him nri-
Yately must have connection with this
affair.
These thoughts came swiftly. for his
period OF waiting proved to be but a
short one. He heard the laughter and
talk as the merry-makers came into
the hotel from the dance hall. crowd

When the last Of these had disap-

partner was walking toward him
across the deserted floor. The lad
came to the door, which by now con-

to 1t, as the other carelessly recrossed
the room. She was looking toward
him, but he made no motion to un-
fold the missive, until his eyes, search

pont. The very secret of delivery
made him cautious, made him suspect
1t had to do with that woman. She
was beside the band-stand, still con-
versing with the Major, apparently
oblivtous to any other presence, her
face turned aside. Assured of this, he
opened the paper, and glanced at the

old than in any other city. AFTER
