Murphy bad Just sqiieesed by the
regulations as to height, and certainly
was not more than one or two penny
weights over the prewrllied limit when
placed upon the scale. Hut be was
compactly built ami a natural born
cavalryman; be walked with an easy

bowed, what of that? The first ser

the kind that fit to hoi-Hes' ribs."
Murphy was a favorite too. Ills
laugb was catching, lie bad a merry
little blgb pitched voice and dancing
blue eyes and ml hair, as crisp and
thick as a rock lichen. If It had not
been for till heavy shock of balr.
Murphy's cupialu said be would have
never succeeded In pnHslujr tbe ex
amining sri'geaiit. There was a full
quarter of an Inch of It. All this goes
to show that Murphy was but 5 feet 4,
and that be weljrhod tinder 15ft pounds.
So much for bis ersoiial appearance.

It was a "bmlllntt hot (lay,' which Is
a trite and usuil description to convey
the Idea tli::t the weather was uncom
fortably warm. It had not rained for
nearly three months. Tbe river, that
was within a few hundred yards of the
northeast corner of tbe parade ground,
bad dwindled down to a narrow little
stream tbat wiggled along through a
dusty bed.
Lying prone on tbe ground In tbe
bade back of B troop's quarters was
group of enlisted men. The uniforms
were nondescript Home wore their
canvas stable suits, loose and open
One or two were In undershirts and
faded blue breeches. Some wore boots.
some were In stocking feet Tbey bad
ceased cursing the weather and were
all absorbed In one discussion.
"I seed the beginning of It" said
lanky, rather tougb looking lad, who
was smoking a cigarette, with another
one stack behind bis ear, pen fashion.
I aeed the beginning of It Murphy
wouldn't siiy why, but I know It was
something a Unit tbe new girls at the
major's. The Dutchman's got a fine Up
on him. It's, a good thing be doesn't
play tbe horn."
Here another man with a brick red
face and a long, sunburned mustache
broke In. "It was a good fifth,," be
granted, "but tbe big fellow would
have killed him. The way be mauled
blm was unmerciful.
"Just like a blllygoat tackling a bull.'
remarked a man on tbe outside of -tbe
(roup, rolling over on his elbows. Then.
Both his tyes mrtapparctiUushut tiufi(.
as If quite pleased with hi metaphor,
he repeated It: "A billygoat tackllug a

"We ain't seen the end of it yet"
said tbe lad who first spoke. "The lit
tle fellow'II take a lot of puundin."
"That's a lie." remarked a man with
a red face. "Hut the ugly Dutchman
could lick three of him. He's too big
to put on a horse's back anyhow."
At this minute the dust arose again,
and the horses struggled up the hank.
A bugle sounded the stable call, ami
the group broke up. A figure In mil
form just then crossed the oen space
thiil led from the barracks to the olll
cers quarters. The shrivel. og heat hud
not takeu all the spring out of this fol
low. Ills shoulders were well back, his
tunic buttoned to the throat and he
stepped briskly out, like a man with a
purpose before blm. Hut If one bad
looked Into the trooper's face be would
have noticed a peculiar thing. I loth in
eyes were apparently shut tight but it
was not to avoid the glare of the sou

lieutenant Blair Carter, who was sit
ting on the vers nla with his feet on
the rail dre-tl as coolly as was com
patible with his usnal devotion to neat
ness, watrbed the approaching figure,
smiling, until It had halted at the ve
randa steps, Tbe story of tbe light, al
though unreported, bail reached bis
ears.
"Well, Murphy." said the lieutenant,
acknowledging lazily the touch of the
finger at the hat brim, "bow are tne

"No, sorr; we did not."
"I there anything else. Murphy V
"No, sorr."
"That's all."
Then Murphy, with shoulders erect,
but to all apix-aratice as blind as a bat
strode off ou bis little bow legs down
tbe board walk toward tbe stables.
The lieuteuaat picked up h'.i paper,
saw that bis sister had Just given a
big party on board of ber husband's
yacht nud read over the names of the
winners at tbe Hocks way races. Then
he beard footsteps and. Iisiklug up. saw
that a colonel's orderly was standing
where Murphy bad stood but a few
minutes before.
"What Is It. my man?" aiked the!
lieutenant.
"Colonel would like to see you, sir,
tbe orderly replied, "at your conven
leiice, sir."
"I'll be over right away."
Ho stepped Into his hot, stuffy little
room, bid the newspaier npder the pil
low of bis cot hooked np bis Jacket
and hooked on bis sword and started
for the colonel's quarters.
The colonel sat at bis desk puffing
away at a great cigar. He would blow
down tbe smoke on tbe table and it
would roll off the edges, scarcely rising
lu the still, heated atmosphere. The
room was filled with Uluiy. blue
strata. The colouel was a little man,
with a face like an American eagle,
wlth nPa,y gray mustache. He

so far as tbe colonel's apiiearance went,
for it was deep aud sonorous, aud at
the same time sharp and clear. No one
ever mistook the colonel's orders be
cause be could not hear them.
"Dress parade and Inspection this
afternoon, Mr. Carter," said tbe colonel.
"Yes, sir; I saw the orders this morn
ing." "Much cooler today."
"Think so, slrr
Carter wondered If the hard, dry
flesh on the colonel's bones ever felt
any changes In the thermometer at all.
"Have a chair, Mr. Carter," went on
tbe colonel, looking up, and this time
blowing mathematically correct smoke
rings toward the celling. "How are
the new horses?"
"Only a middling lot, sir; might be
better."
"Humph!" said tbe colonel. "That's
In your department."
"Yes. sir."
"I didn't say It was your fault But
see what you can make of tbem."
"Did you wish to see me on some
thing particular?" asked the lieutenant
"Oh, yes; bandmaster reports that
one of his nags turned very lame this
morning. I want you to send up a good,
quiet horse In time for dress parade.
Have you got one tbat can stand mu
sic r
"Yes, sir; I think so. What Instru
ment slrr
. "Bass drum, I believe."
"Very good, sir. I will have a mount
for him."
"That's all."
"Thanks, sir." The lieutenant hur
ried out
The post prilled Itself very highly on
its mounted baud. It was considered
by sll means the best In tbe service.
The bandmaster was a German of some
musical education, and be bad sur
rounded himself with a company of
good performers, tbe majority of tbem
of tbe same nationality as himself.
Colouel Khepard used to brag a good
deal about the band.
Lieutenant Carter smiled to himself
as he crossed the parade ground on bis
way to the stables a half hour later.
He was thinking of Murphy's appear
ance. The bass drummer bad the rep
utation of being something of a fighter.
He was not exactly popular In tbe regi
ment and the mental picture of little
Murphy engaged In single combat wltb
blm caused the lieutenant's smile. As
be came out of the stables he was met
by Murphy himself at tbe door of the
big corral. Tbe little Irishman was a
favorite among tbe officers because be
was polite, eager and willing, and be
could ride anything tbat bad bide and
hoofs. There be was standing at atten
tion with about as much expression on
bis battered, swollen countenance as
one finds on a bronze Image of Buddha.
"Murphy." said fclentenant Carter,
lifting one foot to tbe lower rail of the
corral fence, "I want your advice."
"Yea, sorr."
"Ilsren't we got good, quiet horse
that will stand niuslcT" tbe lieutenant
asked.
"Sure they all have to learn, sorr."
"Well, the colonel bas asked me to
pick out a sober, qnlet mount for one
of tbe band men. Let's see I think It
Is the bsss drummer."
"Tbe twos arnmmer, sorrr Mur
phy's eyes opened the merest fraction
of au Inch.
"Yes. Can't you recommend a good
animal for blm to ride at this even
ing's dress parade?"
Lieutenant Carter looked full Into
Murphy's face and slowly wlaked, not
once, but three times. It might have
been the sunlight
"I bare Just tbe horse, sorr."
"Which oner
"Well, be has no name yet that yon
could use In polite society," Murphy
returned, "though he has been called a
great many, to be sure."
"Is he well up to weight?" the lieu
tenant asked.
"He will carry anything, sorr." re
plied Murphy without a quiver, adding
to himself, "begad, tbat can stay on his
back."
"Well, take him over to tbe bandmas
ter this afternoon and explain what he
Is for."
"Very good, sorr."
Lieutenant Carter went back to bis
quartet4, unearthed the newspaper,
strolled out oa the verauda and read on
for an hour. Now be chuckled to him
self. All at once tbe bugle rang clear
ami high, and some movement was de
tected In tbe directum of tbe barracks.
Officers strolled out buckling on their
side arms, aud some ludics wltb para

Then eume a few preliminary bleiits

all at once lu tin:' hand, an 1, to tell the
truth. It was principally the drumiuor.
The music Mopped, but the explosiou
continued. The hiack horse that had
been called Impolite names was assert
ing himself: he d sliked the ii, l, unity
that had Iki n thrust upon lii.n That
was evident from the first. tm now he
concluded to rid himself of the di'Ki'U-
datlou. With bis head between . Ills

winner in a wild west show. For a

Hut the nameless cue was uot satis

Now, the horse the colouel rode wus
a tried veteran be had otiee faced

bead of a charge against a band of
screaming, shrieking hostlles-but this
strange looking thing coming down
upon blm was too much for his nerves.
He swerved. The colonel leaned for

own bauds and put n stop to the riot,
but he reckoned entirely without bis

trusted one. could stand the strain ne
longer. With a snort of terror he
stretched out his neck and bolted. The
colonel tried to stop him. If there Im 1

of turning to the open country to tin

straight for the post laundry, when
some of tbe washwomen were gather

colonel rode. A line caught blm unde.
the cbin. but luckily parted. The horse
became frightened at the sight of one
of the la undresses who was protecting
herself by II0111 ishing a red petticoat
apparently nt bis betid. He whiiled,
and once more the colouel emerged up
ou the parade ground, while behind
bim streamed the line of clothes. He
looked for all the world like a disman

sonal dauber attached to thecolonel's
wild career, maybe some one might
have tried to come to bis assistance.
As It wus. most of the meu could hard

other oltteers were doubled up. The
lieutenant cast his eye ba' k at bis own
company. The sight of Murphy be
could never forget. I'.oth his legs were

When the Deeming Ualibit treaty was
concluded Sept. 3D, 1S0O, a number of
sturdy South Carolina farmers, eugrr
to settle where In mis were moat fer
tile, chose Starkvllle as their future
home. They were well rewarded, for
more fertile lands are uot to be found
iu the state of Mississippi than one
finds surrounding Sturkville. Its In
habitants appreciate this fact, offering,
as tbey do, hind free of taxation for a
period of years to manufacturers si-ek
lng new sites for the manufacture of
tbelr goods.
There are at present more buildings
going up lu Starkvillu than at any oth
er time since Its settlement. The su
perb courthouse which is now In course
of construction will cost when complet
ed $30,0(10 and will prove a decid
ornament to the city.
Starkvllle la also the home of the
Agricultural and Mechanical college,
an Institution which ia doing much
good for the young men of the state.
Too much cannot be said for tba ad
tnlrable way In which this college Is
conducted. It is a noble Institution,
fitting young men for practical pur
poses In life. Here one finds every de
partment savoring of the practical.
which Is so essential to the future sue
cess of the student. In the agricul
tural department the principles of
stock breeding and feeding and tbe the
ory of drainage, together wltb the Im
provemeut of soli, is Inculcated In the
minds of the scholars. The depart
ments of horticulture, chemistry, vet
erinary science, mathematics, mechan
ical arts and all of iu other depart
ments are conducted In that able way
wbif h demonstrates that the bead mas
ter of each department Is thoroughly
conversant with his department.
The textile school building, which is
a model of its kind, is aluiot-t complet
ed. Id this new department young
men and women are to be educated In
the art of manufacturing textile fab
rics. They acquire here a practical as
well as theoretical and scientific knowl
edge of tbe art of manufacturing fab
rlcs made from cotton or cotton and
wool combines. Including dyeing, de
signing and drawing.
Tba machinery and appliances used
hi this school are the most modern pro
enraMe. The state of Mississippi deserves
blgb honor for the lilieral way In
wblcb she supports this Institution.
Starkvllle also bas two banks the
Second State bank, with a capital of

are also an Ice factory and an oil mill.
Many blooded cattle are shipped yearly
from this point. The Missouri and Ohio
