The Meeting.


Hamlin's first impulse was to ignore
the note, trusting his position In the
ranks would be sufficient barrier to
prevent any chance meeting, and be-
lleying his stay at that garrison would
be only brief one Sheridan was evil
IDENTIFY preparing for an early offensive
campaign, and It was rumored on all
sides that the Seventh Cavalry had
been selected for active field service.
Indeed, the urgent orders for the con.
solidatlon of the regiment from scat.
tered posts must mean this. Any day
might bring orders, and he could
easily avoid this Mrs. Dupont until
then. Except for a faint curiosity. the
Sergeant felt no inclination to meet
the woman. Whatever influence she
might have once exercised over him
had been thoroughly overcome BY
years and absence. Even the unex.
pected sight of her again-seemingly
as beautiful as ever-had failed to
awaken the spell of the past. It was
almost with a thrill of delight that
Hamlin realized this-that he was in
truth utterly free Of her influence.
There had been times when he had
anticipated such a possible meeting
with dread; when he had doubted his
own heart, the strength Of his will to
resist. But now he knew he stood abb
sOlutely independent and could laugh
at her wiles. She who had once been
all--trusted, loved, worshipped with
all the mad fervor Of youth-had be.
come only a dead memory. Between
them stretched chasm never to be
bridged.
What could the woman possibly
want of him7 To explain the past?
To justify herself7 He knew enough
already, and desired to know no more.

she was-to regain her hold upon
him? The man smiled grimly, conf

At CroGs-Purposes.

She sat for moment silent, gazing
up the street, but breathing heavily.
This was not the reception she had an
ticipated, and 1t was difficult to deter
mine swiftly what course she had best
pursue. Realizing the hold she had
once had upon this man, It had never
occurred to her mind that her influ-
ence had altogether departed. Her
beauty had never failed before to win
such victory, and she had trusted now
in revivlng the old smouldering pas.
sion into sudden fame. Yet already
she comprehended the utter useless
ness Of such an xpectation-there
was no smouldering passion to be
famed; his Indifference was not as.
sumed. The discovery angered her,
but long experience had brought con.
troll; 1t required only a moment to re.
adjust her faculties, to keep the bitter.
ness out Of her voice. When she again
faced him It was to speak quietly,
with convincing earnestness.
"Yes, realize It is too late for ex
plantations" she acknowledged, so ]
will attempt none. l wished you to
know. however, that l did not desert
you for that man. This was my prin
cipal purpose in sending for you"

he walked down the hall to the quar-.
