For renxoim of hln own Mr. Lnnler hnd mndo no nvownl of lib) lovo to her, even though ho hnd dUcloncd It to every one elite. Hob hnd hU enemies frank men generally have. Ho could hardly believe the evidence of hln earn when JtMt nfter nuniot roll cnll ho hnd confidently nppronched tho colonel with IiIh reiuet nnd hnd received tho colonel's curt reply.

Mlrlnm Arnold's rndlnnt, linppy fnco looking up Into hi. It wn a Joy to wntch them dnnco together, but not to wntch tho colonel's fuce when ho caught sight of them. 13s ccpt Lnnler every olllcor present wns In full unirorm, without his nnber. Lnnler wiih In the undrciw uniform of tho gunrd, but with the nnber not tho long, curved, clumsy, steel scnbbnrdcd weapon then lined by the cavalry, but n light I'rUHstnu butwnr sword Hint he hnd evidently borrowed for tho occa sion, for It belonged to Murker, the ad jutant, ns Itnrker renllxed to hln coHt when the couimniider summoncl him. "Mr. Hnrker, you will nt once plnco Mr. Lnnler In nrrcttt for quitting hln guiird and disobeying my orders." "I slinll have to-get my snber. sir," itnmmored tho adjutant, meaning tho regulation itoiu over at his imnrtcrs. "Thoro It Is. sir, before your oyca. Mr. Lnnler. at least, can have no fur ther tiso for It Until a court martini acts on his caRe." "Good Lord," thought darker, "how enn 1 go up to llob ami tell him to turn over that sword ho that I ean properly plaee him In arrest." Hut the colonel would brook no de lay, "Dlreei Mr, Liiulor to report to mo In the anteroom," said he, march ing thither forthwith. llob saw It coming In Marker's som tor vlsnge. "Misfl Arnold, may I offer myself us a substitute for the rest of this dnnco? llob, the chief wants to sco you n iccond," wns the best that Uurluir ;ould think of They prnlned him later for his "mendacity' yet what ho said wns truo to tho lottor. It tool; llttlo more than a secoud for tho colo nel to sny: "Mr. Lnnler, go to your room In ar rest." Now, that was tho first touch to spoil Hint momornblo Dccombor night. Tho waits soon ceased, but tho colonof called for an extra and led out a lady from town, tho wlfo of a future sena tor. "Keep this thing going," ho cau tioned his adjutant, but tho pltoous faco of tho girl ho bad loft at tho door of tho Indies' dressing room nnd In tho handa of Mrs, Sumter wns too much for Darker. Colonel Button was hopping mad, yot at what? Lanier's orfonso had not been grnvo. It had happened half a dozen times Hint tho olllcor of tho guard, making his rounds nnd visiting sentries In thu courso of a dance ovon Ing, would casunlly drop In by ouo door nnd out by auothor, talcing a turn or two on tlio floor porhnps "Just waltzing In and waltzlug out," as tho.' Mid.' "Disobeyed lilt orders Dully," sug gested Cnptnln Hmilllo, "Disobeyed no order," mild Htimter mi Htoutly, "Hlinply did what ninny another bus done, and nobody hint Nor would Lanier have been noted, perhaps, If ho hml not first naked to turn over his sword to Trotter" Not tea iiiliniles after Lnnler went out, and went silent, but In unspeak able wrath, I'nymnslor Scott cnuie dawdling In, and though but a en nun I visitor at tho post, Just hnclc Hint dny from a tour of the northward cnuips and forts along tho Indlnii border, he snw nt n glance thni something hnd gone ninlas. The colonel was labori ously waltzing; three or four couple were mechanically following suit, but most of tho iiioii were gathered about (he buffet, nnd most of the women huddled nt the dressing room door, and Kcott, marching over to pay his respects to tho colonel's wife, noted In stantly the trouble lu her serious face. Captain Hnallle wns spenklng with her nt the moment. Mrs. Kunlllo wns at her side. "Why did they tell her at all?" Mrs. Hunllle was asking, with much spirit nnd obvious effort to con trol n racial tendency to double the final monosyllables. "Sure they might hnvo known 'twould sc frighten the life out of her." "8c frighten who?" linked Hcott. Bundle shot a warning glance at bis wlfo. "MIL LANlr.lt, 00 TO IOUII 1IOOU IN All JliaJT." "It's Hobby Lnnler. ineejor. only you mustn't sp refer to it." "Lnnler? Oh. yes. I thought It wns Itob 1 snw nwhllo ago streaking It across the parade. Whnt's Hob got to do with frightening folk?" "Something very unfortunnto hns happened, tunjor." snld Mrs. Mutton "Mr. Lnnler wnsolllrerofthegunrdnud asked to intend the dance, Mr. Trotter offering to take chargo of tho guard Colonel Hutton felt compelled to de cline, nnd he enmo nnywny. Yon know, of course, thnt couldn't be over looked," "U'm." snld Scott gravely nnd re flectively. "And who Is so fright ened?" "Mlrlnm Arnold, a very chnrtnlug girl who In visiting tho Sumtcrs. In deed, It looks ns though sho cured for him. It's no secret that ho's In love with her." But at the moment Mrs. Sumter wns seen coming forth from the dressing room. Half n dozen women were upon her nt onco with sympathetic Inquir ies. She camo straightway to Mrs. Hntton. "You will forglvo my girls for not unylug good night." sho cordially spoke. "Miriam has been quite upset by a letter from home, and this Jtttlc - episode this evening, which she cannot understand as we do. has so unstrung her that Mrs. Foster otTcrcd to send them over home lu her sleigh The side door had been tmrrcd. bill Mr. Horlou pried It linen for them, lo they had no need to tome this vu nnd face everybody-iuid explain." "You know how worry I am." said Mrs. Million. "Of rourM they are ex euwihlc lor leaving as ihey tlld. Why. where are the others going?" Tho music luul suddenly stopped. Koine oiii' among tho women, with startled eyes and paling fnco, sprang up saying, "It's lire." Almost at the slime Instant the colonel nnd Scott reached tho veranda without. A dozen officers were there, Intent nnd listen lug. "I tell you I henrd It plnlnly." snld one of their number, "nnd the Foster sleigh Isn't buck." "Henrd what, sir?" demanded the colonel. "What's tho trouble?" "A cry for help, or something, over yonder." (To Bo Coutinuor) NOTICE.
