of life are transitory. And through
his thoughts there glinted the SHIN
mering gold of Dorothy Upton's hair.
Suddenly breaking off his reverie.
he turned to the first sergeant.
Send a man to the nearest tele-
graph station" he ordered I've got
a message for headquarters"
Within a few minutes the man was
rapidly trotting of en- his twenty-mile
errand. Kynaston spent the next two
hours in chat with the old priest, who
was a golden talker. So the moments
passed quickly till the rapid drumming
of hoofs on the trail told OF the return
of the messenger.
He handed Kynaston a letter.
II got the adjutant general him
self, sir, and he answered right away"
Kynaston tore open the envelope
and read:
Kynaston, Cavalry
Keep possession OF valuables TIL Of
ficer arrives to receipt 10 you for II. lie
VIII come tomorrow.
Jephson, Adjutant General.
Thank goodness, that will take the
responsibility off my shoulders" he
commented as he swung a couple of
the heavy Navajo blankets over the
extra cot to make a resting place for
the old priest, who sank heavily to
rest.
Kynaston passed out OF the tent to
see to his horses.

Gone!
A little later Kynaston sent a cor
poral with two men and a led horse
to the railroad, ten miles away. with
instructions that after the officer came
they should wait till moonrise before
Starting back. After seeing the little
party start he took refuge in his ham
mock. Pipe in mouth, he lay watch
ing the night drop down over the pur-
ping hills.
The old padre felt his way painfully
out Of the tent that Kynaston had as
signed for his use. and very laborious-
ly made his way to the tree, guided by
the purring of Kynaston' pipe.
when dost thou expect thy visitor
to a&sAive, my SOM"
Should be here an hour after the
moonrise, padre" said Kynaston.
But, senior, moonrise means moth
ing to blind man who never sees it,"
We'll, padre. it means that in about
four or five hours the officer who has
been sent to receive the stolen ar
ticles will arrive. When he does come
it will be up to him. as we Ameri-

bell that you have travelled so far to
get. Won't you be seated?--and we1l
talk till he shows up"
With a word of thanks the old man
sank into the reclining chair which the
officer pushed forward
In the course of that long talk. pune
tuated by the purr OF his pipe and the
heavy breathing OF the over-baked
earth, Kynaston learned much. for he
was an apt pupil.
He learned OF heavy-footed wander
ings over hot plains and well-nigh
trackless mountains; OF nights spent
in the waterless desert. with only the
yelping of the tireless coyotes for com
pany.
Il beg the lieutenant's pardon, sir.
but there's horses comm up the trail"
II was the observant trumpeter who
spoke. Kynaston, obedient to the
summons, laid down his pipe and
walked down upon the fat. He now
plainly heard the horses come quickly
up the rocky trail. Within a moment
or two they pulled up before the camp.
and he went forward to greet an Off
Ger who dismounted swiftly and intro
duced himself
Il am Major Updyke. Mr.. Kynas-
ton. The general sent me down here
to relieve you Of part OF your en-
barrassment He also requested me
TO take a look over your camp and
your location. He is under the Inn
