It waa a sad, and story. It baa bad Ha parallels; Jt may have more. There ; waa M finer young soldier In the bat talion of cadets, and great were the ; prophecies of rlaaa niatis Indeed of In ; atructora wben Langdun' nam came up for discussion. The corps rose up and cheered blra on graduation day ; when a great public official In banding tba handsome cadet captain bia diplo ma took occasiou to say that a young gentleman wbo could ride and drill as be could ought to be most welcome to - the finest regtuietit In creation, and a very pretty girt sitting close to Senator Spotta, a iHiiidcrous member of the board of visitors, whispered to that veteraa beau: "Now, there's a man I should like to know." And so It bapponed that before the graduating class were fairly out of ca dct uniform and Into their flint "cits a messenger In the shate of the official orderly of the commandant of cadets cams to Eric Landon to "Invite" h'.n presence at the quarters of that liixu official, and there h? was presented anew to the distinguished senator to whom he. In company with bis class mates, had already mnde the orthodox and conventional homage required of the graduating cadet to tbe Inmrd of visitors, and uow the senator, ail suarl ty, led forward an extremely pretty and vivacious damsel. "Mr. Langrion, said he, "this young lady has fallen In lore with the corns In general and your horsemanship In particular, and I know you will be delighted to recipro cate." It waa an odd moment for Lkngdon lie would bare been at a loss to know what to do or say bad not tbe girl her self, with merry words and laughter, relieved tba situation of Its embarrass ment That was tbe beginning. They met frequently that summer. They parted In tba fall, when be went to bis red nient be utterly Infatuated, she half delighted, half regretful. 8he couldn't think of marrying In tbe army, she said. She admired It and him of all things, but that was all. Twice In that first year be managed to get leave and to go to her and plead again. lie bad some little money beyond bis pay. Ha felt that be could support her In comfort, but be little dreamed of the scope of her desires. He was kept blind to tba fact that she bad hopes and ambitions far beyond his. Then - one day tbe sudden death of a sonator shocked tba community, and Langdon, reading tbe news, never Imagined the Influence It was to bare on bis life. His letter of condolence to ber brought an answer that wo more than kind. Their marriage was sudden, but tin mensely "swell." She came with htm to tba regiment a few months, "stun nlng" everybody by tbe elegance of her toilet and tba extravagance of ber Ideas. Then ahe declared she could not bear garrison life and pined for Wash lngton. She got blm a detail on stnff duty, and be would not go. His place, be said, for a few years at least must be with tbe regiment She went with out blm, and presently he was bom horded with bills tbe pry men t of which swamped blm took bis last cent It mattered little, she said. Senator 80000" only slater, bis elder by several years, waa to leave her -every penny, and Indeed In the bard times for blm that followed more than once that he knew of and more than twice that he knew not of that sorely tried maiden came to bis rescue with checks of star tling site. Then there came rumors that tba lovely If volatile Mrs. Lane don was flirting desperately at the cap ital, and one of tbe very best young "duty" officers In the regiment was be ginning to look haggard and shabby. 8 be got blm to sign notes far beyond his pay to meet ber needs, promising that Cousin Bpotta" would meet the notes. They began to fall due Just as that amiable lady was taken to her grave, and then the will was contested, tba legal heirs won, and Mr. Langdon had to begin parting with jewelry, not to meet these notes, but her own crav ings. Then came more bills, more debts, morphine. Such were three years of Eric Lang don's married life. The next and Inst waa tbe worst Striving aU the time to stick to his duty and keep up np pearances, be was wearing himself out in tba vain hope that his military rec ord for efficiency might offset the terri ble stigma of these pressing debts. Now tba creditors were becoming Im portunate and raining their complaints upon bis colonel and tbe war depart tnent No matter bow or by whom contracted, tbe debts were held to be his, that be was accountable for all. Ky tba time be waa 27 and finishing bis fourth year of service with tbe regi ment Eric Langdon looked Uke tba pa triarch of tba subalterns, with his lining face and sad dark eyes, and wben during tbe next year the news came that his wretched helpmate save tho mark bad breathed ber last Id a "retreat" everybody said, "Blessed re lief." And yet poor lad, he mourned her and went and wept over her grave. Then he came back to the regiment to face curious glances and those thoti oanda of debt. Among tha Junior offi cers thera were a few brave boys like Woodrow and Rodney May who strove to cheer and sustain him. But Tor rance, wbo bad "struck It rick" at For tress Monroe aad married an mane young woman of much wealth, was In tolerant of a follow at bis wits' end for money, ami tliere waa a captain la the garriton wbo developed Into one of I.aiiRdoii's persecutor. This was Fells Nathan. Nobody In 1970 could have Uawd Nathau's antecedents. He shun ned the topi himself and left to oi.be.-s tha comforting theory that the were In soma way connected with tha pawn- 1 suoai He bad been commlssiotud la tha Infantry at tba Instance of tba Hon.

Nathan had to work, drill and study, Ho was no fooL .He labored with his dancing master and speedily shone In both the ballroom and in ballistics. They had sent him to Fortress Monroe In hopes of damping bis desire to re main in the artillery, and be mastered tbe course with comparative ease. They "put up Jobs" at hh. expense at mess by tbe Introduction of sausage and sparcrlbs In undue proportion, and Nathan said he fenred they didn't know the good train tho bad, sent home," be said, . for dainties and amazed them with the quality and quantity of sausagesishlpped to him. And then In course of time be cut In and won the heiress f the season, and that marriage mnde 'hi ni. Ills wife bad most influential connections. They frequently spent summers tit Bar Har bor or Newport Tliry had the moat sumptuously furnished quarters in garrison and very "uwell" visitors much of the tbnu. They entertained lavishly, and so It enme about that their social supremacy wns established, not without protest, but It wns no use "kicking against tliciprlcks.'' All tho satuc, Nathan was mean. He lavished his cigars aud champagne on certain of his callers and treated with cold courtesy tho others. His wife's chums. If she bad any, In the regiment were tbe two or threo whose gowns sometimes nenrly matched her own. They distinctly "nut on nlrs" over their fellows, nnd for a time a weal ling of a post commander permitted It but that wus before Melville's day, and Melville was a regimental adora tion." Ono thlng'Nnthnn hated Lnnprdon for was the fact that the latter could "take the battery" and make It do nnything. He was a consummate drlllmaster and handler of men. 'i'b!njrn never went so well as when the enptidn stepped aside and the lieutenant took command. Ilec- Imcntul critics twitted Nnthnn with the fact and It made him furious. If any thing could have bullied Ijtnplon, it would have been service under some other commander. Tlicfe were three other captains who would have hern glad of his services, but Nathan refus ed to allow the cxciiange. Time aud again there wero sharp disagreement between them, and thrice when Iinir don bad to appeal the decision wnt in bis favor. By this tlmo the battery had Icon made a part of the great -weptem gar rison on the Pawnee, whermrwo mriiRil- rons 01 cavalry una lour "licrlit or mounted batteries formed; the main featnres of tho command.

On a still October evening th order that day received from Washing ton was formally read to the command. nnd next morning wh,cu the. depart ment Inspector bad them all out for an early review lie. without whom . re view seemed hardly complete, looked sadly on from a fur corner, a practical j ruined man. But there were friends to go with him to the station nfter bis brief Inter view with Melville noble hearted MeV ville that day May and Wr.odrow and others of the boys, besides some scores of "boys lu blue" who had slipped away nnd were bent 011 giving their pet lieutenant a parting cheer, and there wns an Incident that beeiime historic. Ttio railway station was like all far western stations of tln.-w- days, an or dinary brown frame building with pro jecting roof overhanging the platform and a broad, open space at the gable end. and here It was. In the presence of half n dozen o!:!;frs and quite a swarm of citizens and "boys In blue" off duty, the inemoraLle rencontre occurred. The InstMit Captain Nathan slepped from his handsome carriage, with tbo whis tle of the express already sounding far down the Tawncc. he found himself confronted I y Ijtngdou. whose dark features took on 110 Hush of the wrath that consumed him, but whose erect and slender form, patent lu Us athletic proportions oven through tho simp!.' civilian suit he wore, quivered from head to foot. It wr.. vain for Nathan to dodge. Tho words came like the sting of a whiplash: "You are no longer tny superior ofll eer, Nathan, and there's only a moment to say my say. your language at the club this morning has been told me. Now hear my reply. Today we stand. you In tbo prldo of your wealth and power, I with the world to begin again. More than to any man In the regiment I owo my troubles to you. Tet wouldn't exchangi my soldier record for yours If reinstatement were offered mo this minute. No! I'm not to lie in tlmldated by any gesture. All I have to say la that If God spare my life before ten years pass our places shall bo reversed you will be at tbe bottom, ! at the top. Now you may go." ' the captain. It waa no time to resort to discipline the a. "I'll flx 'am for this when 1 get 'em back to barracks," be wore to himself, but th aurvst heart ed. bitterest man to return that morn ing from tba railway to tbe poet was be wbo rolled homeward In his rush. lotted chariot, with liveried retainers on tba box and untold wealth beside Mm. ' ,. It chafed blm, too, that Woodrow, May and other young otHcers should gallop past blm on tba homeward way without so much aa a peep at bis Im posing companions or a touch of the cap to blm, Tbe magnates were vast ly Interested In tba dashing riding of tbo party and In May'a beautiful thor oughbred and asked questions concern ing them which only added to Nathan's keen sense of humiliation and defeat. He couldn't reach May, for that youug gentleman waa Melville's adjutant and kept bl mount In bis own little stable m rear of tba bachelor quarters. But Woodrow was poor and rodo a battery saddle horse, and that evening at sta ble tbe cap taut sent for blm and, with cutting emphasis. Informed him that tbe order permitting officers on tempo, rary duty with the light batteries to use a public bors applied only to occa- j alona of drill, parade or prescribed ex- erclse. "No officer In my battery, sir." . be concluded, "can be permitted to use ; my bones tu scatter dirt In tbe facts of my guest and to race Impudently past tbe battery commander without a salutation of any kind." Woodrow stood at attention, saluted, waited a moment and said, "Anything further, sir?" to which Nathan responded. "That's all, sir." And then as, with anothpr punctilious salute, tbe subal tern was about to turn away the Idea that bad been uppermost, the stlug and humiliation of the morulng clamor ing for expression, forced from Nathan the very words Woodrow was longing to bear and that be lost uo time In rushing off delightedly to tell to his fellows at the club: "There Is one mat- - aw aVB VaT W The) Kind You Have Always Bought, and wlilvlt ban beca la use for over SO years, luts borno tbe aijfnutnre or , ana baa been made under dm per .atmal aapervbdon since Its Infancy. -Allow no one to deceive yon 1 11 this. x All Counterfeits Imitation and " Jntas-gond ' are buft Experiments tbat trifle with and eudanjrer tho health of Infanta and Cbildren-Experlence atrahiHt Hxperbneut, What is CASTORIA Costoria Is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil Pare , goric.

Ho had gone thither to meet and escort to his (juarters two prominent nnd wealthy railway officials from the distant east, one of them a relative of bis wife. He hnd counted on their coming to mnkn a profound impression in the big garrison, and bis arrange ments for their entertainment Included two days of quail Kbonting, n riding party, some special drills nnd three or four elaborate dinners, with dancing to follow lu the evening. Hi first im pression on catching sight of the crowd at the station wns one of complacency the otlleers nnd men were gathered there to get an early glimpse of his dls- tlngulsbcd ffucsla. It never occurred to III in that I.ai'f:do: would lo going uway on thnt train, slill less that any number of the c.ii'r'foa should go to bid him farewell run! godspeed. He figured thnt I.a:ii!on would have to hung about the post a tiny or two set tllng up his nfTiiirs. Ho had mnde In jiiiiii s to tho amount In which Langdon was Indebted to the mess and to the establishment still maintained it the edge of the reservation by the rSM'iidnulH of mi old time post trader.
