For renxoim of hln own Mr. Lnnler

even though ho hnd dUcloncd It to

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.
Everybody by hnlf pant 10 hnd henrd

prlaed when tn tho mltlnt of tho lovely
"Lorelei" wnlt n group of young otll
ccra ucnr the doorway opened out, na
It were, nnd Hob Lnnler, olllccr of the

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."
