CHAPTER XIV.
An Old Acquaintance.

An OlO acquaintance
1t was late in the forenoon when
the heavily armed guard marched
Hamlin across to the commandments
Office. He had been surprised at the
delay, but had enjoyed ample oppor-
tunity to plan course of action, and
decide how best to meet the questions
which would be asked. He could clear
himself without involving her, with
out even a mention of her presence,
and this knowledge left him confident
and at ease.
There were half dozen officers
gathered in the small room, the gray
bearded Colonel in command, sitting
behind a table, with Major Mcdonald
at his right, and the others wherever
they could find standing room.
Sergeant" the Colonel said rather
brusquely, you came in last night
with M troop, did you not?"
Eyes, sir"
Had you ever met Lieutenant Gas
kins before?"
"Once; he pulled me out Of bad
scrape with bunch of Indians out on
the trail few months ago."
"The same affair I spoke to you
about" commented Mcdonald quietly.
"The attack on the stage"
The Colonel nodded, without remov-
ing his eyes from the Sergeant's face.

"And that was the only occasion of
your meeting?"

were not directly concerned In the
shooting of Lieutenant Gaskins. Men
of your troop state that you we're in
barracks when the shots were fired,
and the wound was not made by a
service revolver, but by a much small
er weapon. Yet there are circum-
stances which puzzle us, but which,
no doubt, you can explain. Two shots
had been fired from your revolver"

could have seen nothing from his sta

up the bluff completely bafded but des

peared, the more determined he be

cAAPTER xIv.-continued.

Voices reached him from outside,
echoing in through the high, iron
barred window, but they were distant,
the words indistinguishable. AS his
brain cleared he gave no further
thought to his own predicament, only
considering how he could best divert
suspicion from her. 1t was all con-
fused maze, into the mystery of which
he was unable to penetrate. That it
was Molly Mcdonald shrinking there
in the dark corner of the barracks
. wall he had no doubt. She might not
have recognized him, or imagined
that he saw her, but that spear of
light had certainly revealed face not
to be mistaken. White as it was, bag
gard with terror, half concealed by
struggling hair, the Identification was
nevertheless complete. The very pit
eousness of expression appealed to
him. She was not girl easily fright
ened; no mere promiscuous shooting
however startling, would have brought
that look to her face. He had seen
her in danger before, had tested her
GOODNESS under fire. This meant some
thing altogether different. What?
Could it be that Gaskins had wronged
the girl, had insulted her, and that
she, in response, had shot him down?
In the darkness of conjecture there
seemed no other adequate explanation
The two were intimate; the rumor of
an engagement was already circulat-
ing about the garrison And the strick-
en- man had endeavored to shift the
blame on him. Hamlin could not be-
lieve this was done through any de-
sire to injure; the Lieutenant had no
cause for personal dislike which
would account for such an accusation
They had only met ~ence, and then
briefly. There was no rivalry between
them, no animosity. To be sure, Gas
kins had been domineering, threaten
ing to report a small breach of 1iscip-
Zine, but in this his words and actions
had been no more offensive than was
common among young officers of his
uuality. The Sergeant had passed all
memory of that long ago. 1t never
occurred to him now as of the slight
est Importance. Far more probable
did it appear that Gaskins' only mo-
tive was to shield the girl from pos
sible suspicion When he had realized
that Hamlin was a prisoner, that for
some reason he had been seized for
the crime, he had grasped the oppor-
tunity to point him out as the assas-
sin, and thus delay pursuit. The
chances were the wounded man did
not even recognize who the victim
was-he had blindly grasped at the
first straw.
But suppose he had been mistaken?
Suppose that woman hiding there was
some one else? Suppose he had imag-
ined a resemblance in that sudden
flash of revealment? What then?
Would she care enough to come to
him when she learned Of the arrest?
He laughed at the thought, yet it was
bitter laugh, for it brought back a
new realization of the chasm between
them. Major McDonald's daughter in
teresting herself in a guard-house
prisoner! More than likely she would
promptly forget that she had ever be-
fore heard his name.
He got up and paced the cell, not

EFFICIENT EQUIPMENT.

1t is only when the opportunity pre- sents itself for a demonstration of the merits of the marine regulations con- corning the equipment of transoceanic vessels for the protection of life. that the Justification of it is fully acl1nowl- edged. The burning of the liner Tenn plemore in midocean from which the crew escaped in lifeboats and were picked up, because of the ability to ge into timely communication with other liners, by wireless. is one or those tense dramatic situations which prove through actual experience the value of precautien. The dangers to which ocean going steamers are subjected through the possibilities of ire, coih- sion. explosion or hurricane are not lessened by the life saving equipment There must always be the exercise or the greatest care to avoid such, but ac- cidents will happen and when they do it is the vessel which is able to com municate with others, and which IS able to offer temporary life saving fla cilities which is going to overcome great and needless loss of life.
 The experience of the TempIemore showed as none other could that even under normal conditions there IS constant demand for safety provisions, Unforeseen happenings demand ever lasting vigilance and just such drastic regulations as were made obligatory for the deep sea Ieviathans are re- ouired to meet the situation. It is an example of the benefits of efficient equipment which cannot fail of recog- nition
