The fare was plain, and the meal
a profunctory affair. The general and
his guests were there for no other
reason than to eat food, and only the
man who happened to seat himself
next to King--a major by the name
Of Hyde-spoke to him at all.
''Why aren't you with your regi-

Because the general asked me to

major. that captain should leave
his company when war has begun!
When l was captain I'd have been
driven out of the service if I'd asked
for leave of absence at such a time!
King made no comment, but his ex-
preston denoted belief.

he asked presently. But Hyde did not
answer They finished the meal in
silence.
After lunch he was closeted with
the general again for twenty minutes.
Then one of the generals carriages
took him to the station; and it did
not appear to trouble him at all that
the other occupant Of the carriage
was the self-same Major Hyde who
had sat next him at lunch. In fact,
he smiled so pleasantly that Hyde
grew exasperated. Neither Of them
spoke. At the station Hyde lost his
temper openly. and King left him
