CHAPTER XVII.
Mrs. chedsoye Has Doubts.

Mrs. Chedsoye retired to her room
early that memorable December night
Her brother could await the return
of Horace. She hadn't the least doubt
az to the result: green young man
pitted against seasoned veterans du-
plicity. She wished Jones no harm
physically; in fact, she had put down
the law against It, Still, much de-
pended upon chance. But for all her
confidence of the outcome, quality of
restlessness pervaded her. She tried
to analyze it, Intellectually at first.
Perhaps she did not look deep enough );
perhaps she did not care thoroughly
to examine the source of it. Insistent-
ly, however. it required; and by re-

lift. You worked in your fathers
bank. You know something about fig
ures. 1 own two large fruit-farms
in California. What do you say to a
hundred and fifty a month to start
with, and begin life over again?"
Ryanne got up and restlessly paced.
Nonchalance had been beaten out of
him; the mercurial humor which had
once been so pleasant to excite,
which had once given him foothold
in such moments, was gone. He had
only one feeling, a keen, biting, bitter
shame. At length he stopped in front
of George, who smiled and looked up
expectantly.
Jones, when you stick your finger
into water and withdraw it, what hap
pens? Nothing Well the man who
gives me a benefit is sticking his
finger into water I'm just as I'M
stable. How many promises have l
made and broken! l mean, promises
to myself. l don't know. This mo-

Morally, I'm putty. When IT'S soft you

from temptation"
Perhaps. Well, I accept. And If
one day I'm missing, think kindly of
the poor devil Of an outcast who want
ed to be good and couldn't be. I'm
tagged. I'm going to turn in. Good
night"
He picked up his blanket and saddle
bags and made his bed a dozen yards
away.
George set his gaze at the fire, now
falling in places and showing mean
descent holes. A month ago, in the
rut of commonplace, moving round in
oiled grooves of mediocrity. Bang!
like a rocket. Why, never had those
liars In sthe smoke-rooms recounted
anything half so wild and strange as
this adventure. Smugglers, card
sharps, an ancient rug, a caravan in
the desert! He turned his head and
looked long and earnestly at the little
tent. Love, too; love that had put
into his diffident heart the thrill and
courage OF a Bayard. Love! He saw
her again as she stepped down from
the carriage; in the dining-room at his
side, leaning over the parapet; inef-
fably sweet, hauntingly sad Would
she accept the refuge he had offered?
He knew that old Mortimer would
take her without question. Would she
accept the shelter Of that kindly roof?
She must! If she refused. and went
her own way into the world, he would
lose her for ever. She must accept
He would plead with all the eloquence
Of his soul, for his own happiness, and
mayhap hers. He rose, faced the
tent. and, with gesture not unlike
that of the pagan in prayer, registered
vow that never should she want for
protection, never should she want for

Probably so. Well wager anyway
that if someone had have tried to

shrilly shouted song, about the time
that preacher was pounding out his

have been a piece of the preachers

men mount. face to the rear. stand up,

and turn a back somersault over the
horses groups to the ground.
Horses are led up in columns of twos.
The ten pairs of men mount. trooper
number one of each pair the outside
man, taking both reins. The pairs are
cantered at the hurdles. Just before
the hurdles are reached the inside
trooper dismounts and vaults, as the
horses are jumping over his own horse,
mounting double behind his partner.
AS the ten pairs go over the hurdles,
one after another, the men all make
clever vaults.
All this is followed by bareback
riding, high jumping for the horses,
and a finale in the shape of a mimic
charge. In this stunt one-haIf of the
men cause their horses to lie down and.
taking their positions behind their
mounts. the men begin to discharge
their pistols The other ten men form
in line at the opposite end of the field
and charge through them with pistols.

light artillery school there a troop of
cavalry was sent to the Columbian ex-
position at Chicago, in 1893. to show the
world how American boys could ride.
Their exhibitions stirred the pride of
their countrymen and filled the visitors
with wonder. So beneficial has this
drill been found in the case of both
men and mounts that it has been
adopted by every troop in the army:
and there may now be witnessed at
more than one post fancy riding that
quite rivals thai of a circus.
For instance, one may see twenty
troopers gallop into the exhibition
grounds standing on their saddles like
Cossacks. They ride diagonally cross
the grounds; the leader circling around
comes back through the center of the
line: the men, following him, form
continuous figure eight Distances be-
tween the horses are perfectly kept
and there is not a single collision where
the lines cross at the center of the
figure.
Unwinding from the figure eight the
men ride to one end of the grounds and
form squads of ten each in line. Girths
are then unfastened and the men mount
in Cossack fashion Brush hurdles are
placed in position at opposite SIDE; of

squads canter over the hurdles around

ers may chance to slip, but the men

freeing themselves from the falling
saddles and standing up on their
horses backs.
