CHAPTER X

launching forward at the gallop, Rolfe's
long line swooped down into the valley

! niouuted warriors whirling away into ;

' the veteran major's clear judgment and
that Brewster had known it all along and
concealed it. The more positively and
unflinchingly Rolfe asserted himself the
more did Holdeu resent it. 1
Finally Rolfe had burst out with: !
"Well. Colonel Karviihar, I'm acting
in this maimer for the honor of the regi
ment to which I've beeu attached
through thick and thin for nearly a quar-;
ter of a century. I heard you were just

"Since you ask me, sir, 1 most dis

Berrien. He is doing well, but the ex

Tery firmly spoke to Colonel Farquhar
four days after the little fight beyond
coup and, stripped of hia finery, lay
stiffening on the prairie a painted corpt,e,
awaiting funeral honors at the hands of
his howling comrades.
Every soldier's heart rejoiced that it
was Brewster who saved the maior's
me, for Brewster, of sUl the Bnbaiterns,
waa first favorite among the rauk and
file. And as for Ellis, though he was
too exclusive "too much like as though
he wanted to be an officer" to be gener
ally popular among the meu, he had al
ways commanded their respect, and his
I unexpected prowess on this occasion
I won their gennine admiration. What
exhausted nerve the fellow had, to be sure, to lie
I there "playing possum" just as though
; he were stone dead and ripe for scalp
ing, and so tempt his assailanta out from
the cover of the ravine, and then never
stir until they were so close he simply
couldn't miss, and so "got in his deadly
work." Brewster and Ellis were the
major's avengers, the two troopers who
had dealt out death to the foe, and who
the Porcupine. The colonel sat with were therefore, from the soldier point of
1. 3k 1 1 A .1 1 D I . I . . 1 1 . . . 1
bowed head, grave and thoughtful Be
fore him stood his surgeon, respectful
but most earnest in manner. Beside
new, the men most entitled to the hon
ors of the day.
And yet, at the very moment when
him on the narrow field bed sat Rolfe, j every other man in the regiment was
with face of gloom three or four letters
and a telegram in his gauntleted hand.
Already the wintry twilight was settling
down; the wind, that had been moaning
through the flimsy shelter for the last
hour, was now whistling in gathering
wrath and flapping every loose rag of
canvas about the crowded cantonment.
Mules and horses at the picket lines
with one accord were turning tail to the
black northwest and pawing the hard
and frozen ground in nervous disquiet
The orderly who suddenly stepped with
in the tent was followed by a few whirl
ing flakes of snow, and the first match
he struck in the effort to light the
colonel's field lamp wag puffed out in a
twinkling.
"Give my compliments to Mr. Brew
tter and ask him to step here," said the
colonel after a moment's silence, and
the orderly vanished.
In the camp of the Twelfth, where
Berrien was universally beloved, three
names had been on every lip since the
battalion's return those of the gallant
major himself, of Lieutenant Brewster
and of Sergeant Ellis. Painfully shot
. and Btunned and bruised though he was,
Berrien's wits had never left him. He
wag positive that the rush of war parties
toward the old road portended mischief,
and despite the lateness of the honr he
ordered the baUilion to saddle at once
and march to the Porcupine. From the
abandoned lodge poles found along the
banks experienced hands had quickly
lashed together a comfortable litter.
Between these improvised shafts two of
the most sedate of the elderly pack
mules were harnessed fore and aft. A
bed of robes and blankets was hung
midway, and while Rolfe and Hazlett
pushed ahead, scouting every ridge and
ravine with their keen eyed skirmishers,
Gorham and Thorpe followed, escorting
their beloved chief.
Just as was anticipated, at nightfall
the distant flash and report of rifles
uroved that the hostile were busilv at
lauding their names and congratulating
them upon their deserved laurels, one
captain, Rolfe, was practically demand
ing at the hands of his colonel that they
should be stripped of their high estate
and sent to the rear in arrest.
As Dr. Holden stood there listening to
the accusations and arguments brought
forward by Captain Rolfe, he could not
but recall the remarks that in one form
or other had occasionally been brought
to his ears at Rolfe's expense. Even so
conservative and loyal a fellow as War
ren, the adjutant, had once summarized
his character in forcible terms. "1 re
spect his ability," said he, "but damn
his egotism. Rolfe in this regiment is
just like the one juror who said that
they could long ago have agreed an con.
viction but for the eleven blooming
idiots who held out for acquittal.
Rolfe was a man of such intensity of
opinion and purpose that once having
made up bis own mind as to what some
body else ought to do, he deemed it not
only a right but a duty to instruct the
other party, no matter what that party's
rank or station might be; and this was
practically what Rolfe had been doing
to his colonel ever since Holden ap
peared upon the scene. Personally
Holden had never met Rolfe before the
arrival of the regiment at Pawnee, but
except a certain dogmatism of manner
in discussions over points in tactics, .
politics, law or whist, he had decidedly i
liked everything about him, and told the I
youngsters as much when he found that
they did not.
"Any man with half an eye can see
that Rolfe wants to make the very best
kind of an impression on Vx. and Mrs.
Holden," said Randolph. "They are
Miss Guthrie's nearest friends and rela-
Rolfe, and question him in your pres
ence," said Farquhar. And Brewster,
who had just been enjoying a hearty
handhuke and pleusuut words with sev-!
eral officers of the Eleventh who, despite
the rising gale, hud ridden over to con
gratulate him, went blithely and briskly
to answer the colonel's summons. War
ren had given him "the tip" as to the
letter being prepared for Farqulmr's sig
nature. It was a joy to know that bis
name was to tie sent forward with the
praise of his soldierly and honored chief. :
It was almost rapture to conjecture what
Winifred Berrien would think of him
when she heard that his vigilance and
dash had saved her father's life. j
He looked therefore the very picture
of stalwart, soldierly, brave eyed man- j
hood as he stepped quickly into the col-1
onel's tent and stood erect before the si- j
lent trio there assembled. He came with t
a heart beating high with anticipation; '
but one glance at Rulfe's somber and
half averted face, the first words in Far-1
quhar's grave, though courteous tones, j
banished all pleasurable thought and :
put him on his guard. J
"Mr. Brewster, if I remember aright,
it was you who presented Sergeant Ellis
for enlistment when we were in the
Hills. Am 1 right?"
"Yes, sir."
"You knew him before his joining us,
did you not?"
"A short time, sir; yes."
"Where had you known him and how
long?'
"At Deadwood, sir; I met him there j
on two occasions before be decided to
enlist." :
"Two occasions? And how long be
fore he came to us?"
"Perhaps a week, sir."
"And yon had never known him or of
him before?"
"I had seen him, but 1 cannot say that
I had ever known him."
"Mr. Brewster," burst in Captain
Rolfe at thiB juncture, before he could
lie checked, "do you mean to tell m.
you were not well acquainted with this
go called Ellis long before you n at bim
in the Hills?"
"Captain Rolfe," was the instant an
swer, and the flush leaped to Brewster's
cheeks, an angry light to his eyes, "I
mean to tell you nothing whatever. I
am answering Colonel Farquhar."
"Permit me to conduct thia matter,
Captain Rolfe," said Farquhar, stretch
ing forth a restraining hand and check
ing the captuin as he rose with anothel
question on his lips. Rolfe with almost
any other man might possibly have per
sisted. He knew Farquhar, however,
and knew that however gentle and
courteous might be his manner he could
come down hard upon those who crossed
him. bo, with evident effort, he held
his tongue, but remained standing. "Bt
good enough to resume your seat, cap
tain," continued the colonel, all grave

"Did yon not know when h enlisted
that he gave an assumed name?" . i
"No, colonel, 1 did not. For all I
know Ellis is his own name." !
"Yet yti knew him tut Ralph Errol'
at Helena," burst in Holfe again. I
"Captain Rolfe." said the colonel 1
with marked emphasis, "I will ask you
to withdraw; but, except by Dr. Hid ;
den's permission, you will not speak ol
this mutter to Major Berrien. 1 desire
to see Mr. Brewster for myself. No,
Holden, you remain."
There was no help for it now, Rolfi
had to go; and go he did, without i
word. Then Farqiihur, in his omrteoui
tones, repeated hisquestiou and received
prompt reply:
"He certainly gave his name as Erroll '
in Helena and as Ellis wheu bo enlisted i
colonel, but which is right or thai '
either is right I have no means of know
ing." "Well, 1 am told that he gave yon
much of his history and that you lent
him money in Deadwood." !
"I did lend him, though at the time I
thought I waa giving him, twenty dol
lars to pay pressing debts which he hod
to settle before he could leave there and
come to us. He was destitute and starv
ing. He did tell me something of hit
past, but whether it was true or net I
cannot say. The more 1 see of him the

reward for his labor. What I know U
that he is a tiptop soldier, of whom the
whole regiment has reason to be proud,
even though 1 don't know what may )

Holden was listeuing eagerly to every
word.
"May I ask a question, colonel?"
"Certainly, doctor."
"Brewster, did he ever toll yon where
his home was where his relatives now

"Yes Louisville; ai d I have a packet

"Well, did he never speak of havina
lived in St. Louis having had friends
there?"
"Kever so much as mentioned tin
place, doctor."
For a moment there was silense,
broken only by the dismal moan of th
rising gale, the flap of canvas, and the
creak of straining gnyroiog. Farquhai
was still thinking deeply. At last he
looked up.
"Captain Rolfe has lodged with nit
very serious charges against Ellis, and
bases them on the report of professional
detectives. As you know, 1 gave Ellit
permission to ride over to the railway
on Oorham's rejiort that he had some
important personal matters to look after.
Has he returned yet?" ,
"He had not up to stables, sir, but bit

almost hope he has not started in face ol
this wind. It looks like a blizzard com

I may ask?" queried Holden, "I sent a
