King Author of "Tho Colonel's banRhtor."' "Foes in Ambush," etc. There were sorrov nnd estranf-oaient t Sumter's. Never before, ns Mrs, Sumter declared, hml ICnthorlne ever lad a Bocret from her mother. More over, Miriam Arnold was affected in jprcctecly tho same way. She shrank from all mention of that mysterious affair of Friday night. Wednesday night when Sergeant 3Fltaroy returned to the post and asked to nee tho colonel that otllcer, who was tit dinner, sent answer that he would ha at tho office at S o'clock and, fur Ihcr, sent word to Captain Snaffle to 'fee there at the same hour. A Bpcll of sharp cold had followed -the bllasnrd. The young people of the rrt9oa were out in force at night rejolclsg 1b the snow sports. The men fead mado some famous slides over at tho bluffs, and the chltdrcn along the Bcers lines were playing hldo and jeek about tho drifts and tunnels nt vtbe northward end of the parade. CaptaJa Sumter had been sent for and was admitted to a .five minute talk -with the colonel at his quarters and tune away with a grave and troubled Sxeo to a ten minutes' conference with Ma gentle wife that left her sorely worried and distressed. "Aak Kate," he said as onco more he met forth Into the night "I've got to tnunp and think this over before I do maythiHg further."- And nt that mo .stent Kate and Miriam had gone in to telle awhile with Mrs. Stannard. It was Just about a quarter of 9. Thb lights at the office were still burn 'Mag. for the colonel hnd intimated that 3w might be back. Barker was bend Sac over bis desk: and wondering why Jthe colonel should be colloguing with SSaaftle, Crane, Sergeant Fitzroy and jKadlng for Cassidy and Quintan. That taras a queer "outfit" of Snaffle's at best. aR seemed odd that the most pronounc .mi. "Britisher" In barracks should be m sergeant In the troop commanded by She nearest tiling to an Irishman w-Boag the captains. ' "Barker was busy with these rcflec "JMnnn when the colonel once more en .fcred. The adjutant rose, but at a rtf-iil resumed his scat and waited. JTall fifteen minutes the colonel went 1i liTluj tip and down the long apart- ?aMst. Twice he muttered something ,aot Its taking Snaffle and his scr -s-eaat an unusually long time to do a staple thing, and at last, as the trum peters were heard, with much stamp Jmtg of feet and blowing of hands, gathering for the old time nightly walk around" that preceded tattoo cell call. Button abruptly turned on bis adjutant and said: "Barker, how long have you known Mr. Ijaalerr "Ever since he Joined, sir." "-And yoa knew him In his cadet -JtayHT , "Yea, sir." ' "And you told me you never heard a his writing to newspapers?" "Never sir," answered Barker. "I elleve It Impossible for him to have Aad anything to do with those inflara--autory articles about the campaign." Tob consider him absolutely square above a lie or a trick of any kind?' Barker faltered Just one minute. JWliat did the colonel mean by a trick? JMtechler there had been onco or twice. Tricks had been played, and one only (4Ua last summer during the campaign a trick, too, that If truth were told "gamier should have known about. At Smet it had been played for his bene 2U and had "pulled tho wool" over the eknel's eyes. "I consider him as square a man as I Icnow and utterly above a lie of may kind," was the final answer. -"And yet you hesitate. You know r have heard rumors," said Button oasplclously, "1 have heard rumors and slanders, Colonel Button," was Barker's prob -ably Injudicious reply. "Well, here," said Button Impulsive ly "here are you and Stannard and Stuflter, three of tho 'old liners,' as you mre called In your respective grades, -and I see plainly enough you three are tacitly condemning my nttitudo to ward Lanier. Now, 1'vo hud enough wf this. There Is nothing that re quires a commander to show his hand to his subordinates, but as matters stand in this regiment oh, come in, Major Stannard. I sent for you pur posely, und Sumter as well, to meet see hero at tattoo." The two scuiors solemnly entered tho presence. "As I was saying to Barker, as matters stand Jn this regiment some half a Kescn at least of the men referred to as Ms 'representative officers' uro appar ently resentful of my arrest of Lieu tenant Lanier and attribute my course to pique, because ho saw fit to show Idmself at tho hop I declined to per sit him as officer of tho guard to nt tsad. You think possibly that be caaso men llko Captain Suaflle, Lieu iuuint Crane and one or two of that set have been In consultation with :sh tho matters at lssuo are beneath aroar notice. They at least arc loyal to their commander and to tho best teterests of the reglmeut. Now I mean to show you. Mr. Barker," said ho tapresBlvcly, "go to Liputenant Lanier auad say that I desiro his prcsenco here at once." ' And Barker took his cap and capo taA departure without a word. Jwt as Barker uea'rcd Stanimrd's, at she head of tho row, two cloaked and fcded 'forms hurried forth, aud Bar fcjlf tJHAltTflMlW TPltfr HlD'n "OhTgood evening, Miss Kale! Good evening, Ml.s Arnold l" was his em barrassed greeting. Then, with at tempt at Joculnrlty for which he later could have kicked himself: "I'm Just In tlmo to sco you home and head oft hobgoblins and hoboes. Indeed, I beg pardon," he blundered on. "I'm Just bound for Lanier's, Any message?" "Yon might say we wish him speedy deliverance." answered Kate Sumter. Silently Lanier heard tiro summons. There was no reason why ho should not go, said the doctor. "Tho nlr will do you good," he added, "and wo'll bo hero when you come imck." Ten minutes more nud for tho first time since Friday evening the accused officer stood In the presenco of his colonel. ' "Mr. Lanier," said Button presently, "I am free to say that I have had grave reasons for forming n most un favorable opinion of your conduct It has been my Intention to forward charges of a serious nature against you nnd to urge your trial by general court martial. But such Is my regard for these gentlemen that I stand ready to abandon my views nud adopt theirs on your simple word. Can I say more?" There was a moment of silence. Then Lanier spoke, "It depends, sir, I think, upon what you wish mo to an swer." Button colored. Turning to his desk, he took from an envelope several news paper clippings. "Do you care to say what part you took in their prepara tion?" "I took no part" "You do not know tho author?" "I took no part, sir. I do not wish to say that I do not know the author." "Then permit me to infer that you know him a member of this com mand, for no one else knew tho facts and you shield him?" "I am shielding no man, Colonel Button." "Yet you know the author nnd you will not tell?'' ' ,'hat little I know came in such 8 way that I cannot tell," was tho reso lute answer. "Enough said or refused to bo said on that head. We will go to the next Who personated you the night you left your troop at Laramie and went, contrary to orders, to that frolic atjhejjost?" . (To Be CoutumcrY; HOW TO STOP DRINKING.
