doctor was new to the post and to blm,

Tbe doctor's hesitancy and change of

"I beg pardon," quickly spoke Dr.

"Certainly."
"Then I shall send tbe steward with

"I've sent for a atreb-her, robes and

"That's what I Intended to do from the

"Very good. Now a word with yon.'
And tbe doctor drew the artilleryman
aside. "Your friend will need nothing

"I've got to talk to yon." And. obedi

For a moment there was dead alienee.

his lean, king hands outspread no each

waa It not whispered that the appoint

certain senators "to get the young man

Nelson waa not much of a repository
for gossip. ' He listened only impatient

him again, bit by bit that Armlstead
waa tbe hero of that exploit, that in

roof; this, too, at a time when Lang
don sorely needed rest, peace and
friendly aid. "Hy George," said Nel
son to himself, "It la fatcf ul!"
But Langdon was the first to break
tbe silence.
"What la the1 first train back to Chi
cago?"
'Seven twelve tomorrow morning,
Eric. But not a peg do you stir till we
straighten you up. Dr. Bloodgood

Not a drop!" was the fierce reply,
"Get me out of this. Nets, for God's
sake, even If I have, to walk!" he
cried, feebly struggling to rise, . hut
Nelson, with bis powerful frame, was
on him In a minute. Hoyt came sprint

'Just send my man for Bloodgood,
wilt you?" panted Nelson to the new
comer. "Then help me strop this luna
tic. Do quit your struggling, Eric.
You'll only make yourself a thousand
times worse."
The sweat was starting from Lang
don's brow and the muscles In bis neck
stood out swollen and distorted. He
was fighting fiercely for lilierty, he
