4 i : Ten Years' Trial J Bv Gen. CHARLES KING Now, Wood row tiad taken uu part lu the cheer that va n matter coulined almost entirely to the enlisted men but be Ua3 no objection tvliutever to Natbau'e believing he did and would have opeuly rejoiced bait Nutlmu jire- ferrad cuurKes airaiuat lilm. It would have been bliss to dixprovc tliriu. An for the captain's angry rebuke baxi-d upon the osteutatlou disrespect v.lili which the party of subalterns had charged past bis carriage on the ui hill drive, Woodrow had do defense to offer. It wan a Imyisli ebullition on the spur of the uioiucut. May having led on with a "(.'oiuu nlieud. fellow I'm not going to trail behind that d-iuli d pawnbroker," and the rct h.ivhii' Impetuously followed, lint It was duti and their regret were on account of the reglnjont, uot for Nathan. It waa bad form, aa they owned, to show to civilian contempt for a brother oillcer, BO matter bow much they ml-lit feel it Tbese episode growing out of Ijing don'a departure were tho talk of the club and Indeed of every household on tho post the rett of the week. The 111' opector general could uot help hearing them, but isnld not a word. The coin, nel coniuiundliii; was u sorely perturli- cd man. lie felt ihat If he did not punish sonielx;ily-do Hium-tliing to vin dicate the good order nnd discipline of Ida coiniiiutid-there would I a rap from department lnndiii:irlei, iMiwd- bly from W iihliiimnm. ami this was more than a candidate for the star of a general otl'eer could contemplate with equanimity. lie excused himself the moment dessert was over at Nathans dinner party that evening nnd, though It was after tattoo, dentin nit Investiga tion of the n 11 air. A dozen of the bat tery men and ull tlio junior ollieers present at the stution were summoned to the adjutant s otnee, uml in live mm utes be had the facta. There was not the faintest attempt to equivocate or dissemble. Lieutenants May, Wood row, Sparrowe und I.c lute mild they beard the call for three cheers, and May said that, though he didn't shout, he swung his cap and hud all the Ap pearance of It. lie disclaimed any dis respect for the court, the reviewing authority, the president or the post commander. Mr. Laugdou was his best friend. Ho was sorely distressed at his dismissal, and he did come with In an ace of cheering, only ho knew Langdon himself would have disap proved. The colonel used some rasp ing Jauguagc, In the course of which as a cavulrymuti he rcUcctcd on the sense of subordination and discipline that did not appear to prevail in the batteries, thereby 'antagonizing every gunuer at the post, and then, dismiss ing the officers. with no little asperity in his reprimand, he summoned Ser geant Raueey, an Irish Idol hi llattery l., and whirled on him with the stern query, "Is It true you called for 'three cheers for Lieutenant I.angdun, the best officer in llattery VT" "True as shootln, sorr," was the prompt reply. "Go to your quarters In close arrest. sir," said the colonel, and without the quiver of a muscle of his sun tanned face the Irishman spun on his heel and .stalked out. Then Sergeant Itlossom, down east Yankee, was summoned in. "Did yon Join In the cheers for Lieu tenant Langdon r' asked the colonel. "Yes, air," was the emphatic answer. "Didn't you know that was tanta mount to mutiny?" "No, sir. t There was no such thought or Intention. We meant to show our sympathy for a beloved officer and an unfortunate man: that was all.' The colonel wheeled Impatiently lu bla chair. Us loved the old stylo sol dier, who knew nothing licyond the .will of bis superior officer. These mod em evolutions of soldiers In the ranks, men of education who read and thought for themselves and spoke bet ter English than sumo of the ollieers. were thorns In his flesh. He did not know just bow to take Itlossom, much less what to do with him, but coinpro tulscd by bidding him stand aside until he had questioned the others. One after another a dozen came lu, prompt ly acknowledged that they had cheered the departing officer, dlsclulmed nil Imputation of disrespect and luferen- tiully any expression of regret. Every mother's son of them seemed to wish to lie understood as maintaining that be bad a perfect right to cheer, and if lie hadn't he waa ready to take his punishment. "Confound It," snld the colonel to his silent adjutant, "if 1 alap 'em In arrest Nathan won't have a sergeant for duty. The whole bat tery seems to have been in It. Tell tbem to go to their quarters go to grass go to Hullyback buf there must be no more cheering. I won't have It." "There won't be," said his staff offi cer dryly, "now that Langdou's gone." He, too, bad loved the fellow nnd was sore hearted over ids downfall. "There's nobody else they'll be apt to cheer for unless It's Melville." The colonel turned suddenly and glared, but the adjutant's face was placid and unconcerned ns he quietly stepped to the outer room and in low tone bade the assembled -throng dis perse. Then In silence he rejoined his chief. "You're always quoting Major Mel .vtlle," said the latter petulantly. "Is there no one in your own corps worth considering'" "1'lenty," answered the adjutant, "yet none just like Melville. There's the man to stralghteu but this mutter, colonel. If you really want It done." "I can straighten out post matters without having to call on an an tin outsider," answered the colonel haugh tily, for be had the same conception of tils corps that the Chinese bad of CM US everybody not of it was an outside barbarian. Moreover, be was distinctly Jealous of Melville, and It kept crop ping out In the most absurd and palpa ble way. EiMy In the spring, when or dered to the command of this ImiNirtaut station, the department commander bad said to him: "We have applied for Melville to command your artillery. He'll be a tower of strength to yon and relieve you of all responsibility In the ninuageiueiit of the batteries." And this remark. Intended to reassure, had Just the opiKisite effect The colonel did not wisii to be relieved of any care or n-pouiliiiJty, did iot wish it to be supiosed be needed a tower of strength. I In was ouo of a small but somewhat prominent class anion; our senior officers who rejoice In extended responsibility and who prefer hours of personal work to delegating one lota of anthority or power to anybody else. He was so oddly constituted, moreover, that be Would gladly have added to his functions thu ladling out of medicines and the distribution of hospital stores. Ills mania was for scraping and sav ing for Undo Sam. Ho would spend hours of valuable time pruitluff off a dollar from the estimate of the post quartermaster or squeezing a cent a bushel from the hay or grain contract lie had - never before served with mounted artillery, but unhesitatingly ussuiued supreme control of the affairs of the butteries, criticising nnd forbid ding the expenditure of paint for the carriages und caissons, cutting dowu the number of horseshoes, condemning the amount of grain nnd hay fed out In the dally allowance and putting a stop to shell and shrapnel practice as being viciously extravagant. "It will ull In straightened out when Melville comes," said the funuers, but it wasn't. The colonel had never met Melville before, but had had him dinned Into his ears every time ho talked with nn enthusias tic urtilleryman, and, to use his own expression, "It made lilm tired." "Mcl Vllln is a.Bort of demigod nccordiug to these artillery fellows," said he, "but I propose to riin my own post, and no man shall run mo." Bo when Melville arrived and report ed for duty tliu colonel met him with much solemnity and state. Ordinarily offhand and Impiiltdru in; speech and manner, -lie now assiiinedinn liuHislug dignity of mien that filledhis adjutant with merriment and did Dot deceive Melville In the least. That clear sight ed, grave mannered soldier listened with every appearance of courteous In terest to thu colonel's exposition of what he considered the neixls of the butteries and the batteries' discipline and Instruction, but as his own views were neither asked nor; desired gave no expression of them. The colonel culled uixili the new arrival nt the quarters of Captain Cannon that even ing and found a dozen red striped fcl lows there, all clustered ubout their demigod, and the colonel's minuter was If anything more awfully Impressive than in the morning, lie remained but ten minutes, und tlieigutiiierM drew a long breath nnd looked at each other ns be left the room and burst Into irre pressible laughter as he stalked away from the gate. Iitit Mclt'lllu camo back to their midst witli Captain Cannon, they having seen the colonel safely dowu the steps, and not a line in Mel ville's face betrayed the fact that he saw anything comical In 'the situation. Within thu week he wus I partially set tled lu his new quarters and fully en grossed In Ids new duties. Ho found the post commander pottering about thu battery stables and gun sheds day after day, giving orders direct to stable sergeants, farriers nnd blacksmiths, but not n line of Ids face or a tone of bis volco betrayed the faintest Irrita tion or disapproval. Irate captains camo to him to protest, and he said. I'utlenee," und noticing the luqictuous post commander could say or do ever seemed to throw him off Ids mental balance for n moment lie was ever grave, exquisitely courteous und en tirely subordinate. For a month the colonel had things all his own way. Then one day, ull unannounced, there dropped In uu Inspector, who gave two days to the battei-M-s and two hours to the rest of the command. The colonel Insisted on 1'lng with him everywhere. The Inspector found faidt with the condition of the Horses' feet und declar ed them Insiithcicutly Flitxl. lie was referred to the order of the post com mander, lie said ull of the horses look ed too finely drawn, ns though they had come lu from a bard cainp.iigu and was shown the post column rider's order cutting oft' two pounds of grain per diem. lie said the gun carriages looked dingy nnd Was informed of tiic post coinm.'itider's prohibition of fur ther use of paint. Ife crlliciwd their neglect of gun practice with service niumunitiou, and ngnln thu post com mander had to shoulder the blame, lie dined with that dignitary, as did Melville nnd Nathan nnd two or three cavalrymen that evening, mid the coin- ' t i el -. i la: : t Hon!- i:r- i: hi'.: i. otmcrs t-ejitury the see4. t-V v. !:.-. bin. how might l e "I'ou think he iwa it ivrj yood euldirr, I flirt HHlt. nil drank much of his own champagne nnd talked Incessantly lu defense of his policy, on which point the Inspector nnd the gunners were diplomatically silent, but within a week of the for mer's depart lire down came a letter from department headquarters em bodying nil bis criticisms and directing the post commander to take measures to correct t lie matters complained of without delay. They "were nil of the post comma tiller's devising, nnd, with out tlie ruining of n feather or the turning of n hair." as the boys express ed it. without a word of altercation or exHstulation, Melville had won the battle. He met the colonel with the same grave. Imperturbable courtesy. with that utterly ntilmpcachahle re spect of manlier. Fvcii though the post coin inn ndrr was fuming with wrath and the consciousness of de feat. Melville allowed not a trace of exultation to be visible, not a word of triumph to c.--npo him. He gently, gravely rebuked one or to youngsters who crowed In their delight nnd by ut ter sueriority of bis mental equipoise rnsped the rnt colonel Infinitely more than If he had tfiven voice to the sense of victory. The colonel was forced to the conclusion that the senior major of an. !!.-: v;-..- .i h . .: ..,... i uepart i: e "i h-:d,.

At the different stations where he had served -at NevnmH. at Fortress Monroe nml nt tin I're.sidlo of Han Francisco-he bad left Ids Impress ever tlie K-'iuie. 1'iiey spoke of. lilm as the "I'-aVurd of the Huttcry," and one of the traditions which his old regiment gloried In v.us the mountain cnmpalgn against n th-rev ami recalcitrant tribe in -which Mi lviUe led hi guns Into the fastnesses of an unexplored wilderness and brought the savages to bay.'' Add to r.li till:-: that bis home life was as beautiful ns his professional career had bi-en well High tluwless, . uuil even crotchety, fault finding. Jealous old "Cat" owned L'mself powerless to pen etrate the irinior of Melville's perfec tions, und Muy and Woodrow, thinking adly of the comrade lost to them, found the words constantly springing to their lips.. "If Melville had only come earlier:" '- , Ami yet, as wo have si-en. it was un likely that Melville could have prevail ed In a mutter sm h ns l.nngdon's, who had done so im:ch to hurt his bwu cause. The mujnr had discovered the good points in the post coiumande inucli sooner I linn tlie Inter wuuld ad mit tht there was anything remarka ble about Melville, i'.y mid-October, however, the genuine s ildler lu "Cat's" constitution had couiHlled hi him an admiration nnd respect for the gravely courteous artitleiyiuiin that, lu spite of tlie lingering Jealousy he felt, made him desire Melville's friendship.' Long ere tills he had realized that battery horses were built on fur different lines from the "troopers" ho loved and, be ing much heavier haulers Instead of carriers and fed und shod for draft and prepared for severe and sudden strain should never have been cut down from their allowance with the view of making them conform to bis Ideus of how a horse should look. "Cat" rue fully admitted, to himself only, that ho find come near spoiling some IjO draft animals und nearer still to mnk lug one ass who should be nameless. It was not until a month nftcr Luugdon'i departure, however, that he mustered up manliness to say to Melville: "How much a fellow thinks he knows about some other fellow's business until he tries. Now, I had no more Idea that a battery horse had to be so much heavi er. Course i could Lave rend It ull up ill tlie tactics, don't you know, but I hate books, somehow, and 1 ought to have realized that battery commanders like Hatuur and Singer, at least, knew their biz. I don't take any stuck In In Nathan. His horses had hides on 'cm like n Yellowstone buffalo. 'Why, I had to give him hadvs the first week I got here, und he gave me a swell dinner, I'ut I just wish you would consider you're nt the head of the artillery part of this establishment now, Melville. I believe It's best to leave it all to you." And tho two gravely shook bands. Cat," an has lieeti observed, had conscience. After a moment's silence he began again: "Then there's another thing. That adjutant of mine Impu dent fellow at times If he Is a good of ficerhas never forgiven me aliout Langdon. He doesn't speak of It of course, except when 1 draw blin out I wouldn't stand that you know. F.ut ho says if I'd been here longer nnd had known more bout Langdon and ns much about Nathan and Torrance as do now I wouldn't have been so hard on him. He says I ought to have sought your views. . Well, p'r'nps I ought Melville, but 1 didn't get to know you nt first Where, Is that fel low now, anyhowt ' Iou ever hear from hint r . I have heard once or twice," an swered Melville gravely. "Hut he pre fers to say nothing of his occupation. His creditors, ut least are furnished With his address. , "Yon think he was a very rjood sol dier, I nm told." said "Cat." looking keenly into tho major's face a moment then turning to scrutinize as keenly the column of horse just moving lei surely In from morning drill. "An exceptionally tine one," said Melville. Ami nt that moment the exceptional ly Cue soldier, hat In hand, was stand lug patiently, silently. In the anteroom of a great railway stqicrintendent. The half dozen chairs had lung been oceu pied by others as wistful looking as himself. There were a dozen more si lent, shabbily dressed men Wearily lounging nlHUtt. They had been Wait ing since M In the morning for an au dience, but some matters of grave tin ,rt "tip the road" occupied every mo ment of the nuigmitc's lime. Clerks were hurrying in nnd out Other Offi cials, with anxious faces, cnnie ami went. Fiery now nud then some of the waiting party would slip quietly out and, returning, hold wlrlspercd con ferences iih other of their kind.

I can at least handle a brake or tire au engine as well as the clerks ami typewriters you are sending out to do It, and I'm more used to roughing It." ' "D'you drink?" asked the official bluntly, then wished he hadu't, as he studied the pule, clean cut features, the clear, unillnchlng eyes. "r nu. You don't look It." "I have on a few occasions. 1 do not ' now." '. "Are you willing to go west of the Mississippi and take your chances of being killed aa a scab and can you go today V "Yes." "Hold on a minute, tin-gory," snhl the gentleman who had been pacing the lloor, but now stood an Interested listener. '.Mr. Lungdou. is It? Didn't I hear something of you at Fort Fuw noe? Weren't you In Captain Nathan's company? I thought so. Wo have no uso for you, sir." When Krlc Langdon reached the st res-1 and the ois-n air, he felt numb and dizzy. Jt was noon, and he had had no breakfast save a S cent cup of coffee at a llttlo street stand. Owe iiIKin a time the president of this great corporation had visited the Hygeia and become the recipient of all the courte sies of tho officers' club at Fort Mon roe. On departing he hud somewhat pompously said to Langdon, "If I ever can serve you lu any way, sir, bo sure to let me kijow." And Lnngdou mar veled that the letter written by tho president In New Y'ork did not com mand Instant recognition at the gener al offices in Chicago. His last dollar had been spent to take him thither, and bo stiKMl at high noon In the heart of this great thronging hive of tin do and traffic, a stranger in a strange laud, stunned and wounded, cast out by the class with which he had foregathered. faint froiu lack of food, knowing not where to turn for help or comfort when strode toward him through the hurrying throng, sturdily holding their own against the human tide that twice a day sweeps almost resistlessly from the arched doorways of those towering business blocks III the wonder of tho western world, two soldiers In the warm blue overcoats and trim forago caps of-the regular service. The glit tering device above the visors dnmi d before his eyes, the soldierly forms were swimming In midair, as he blind ly etttggoi-ed toward them.
