"Cotporal Cassldy. sir. Tho post sur

Nut by this time Mr. Lanier himself
appeared In the ball "Well, I should

crowding them up about a roaring
store, where presently he made them
sit while he bustled about at a buffet
te the adjoining room. "You'll bare to

After which they were gone, rejoic

reaching the nearest barracks, only
after a severe struggle and. later still,

ears their unusual and rejolcefu! ex

too, Qulnlan? Sure the wan you
starched on wid had the manger
Cassldy snatched It from his com
rade's head. "Mother av Moses! If
he hasn't lifted the lieutenant's" But
he broke off short. One glance be bad
given the band within. There was an
testa ot of indecision, then he whipped
his own cap from his head and thrust
It on Qulnlan.
"I'm a liar," he said. "It's me own
he's had."
"Then yon wear two sizes, Jim Cas
sldy. an' both different" Qulnlan bad
polled the headpiece down and was
staring in at the soft lining. "What's
this?" he began, when the corporal's
topers closed like a vise on his arm.
"Shut up, Qulnlan! The whisky's
one to yer noddle. Come here!"- And
Cassldy led him. wondering, to the
tarred corridor without and slammed
the door behind them. "Not a word do
you whisper of this to any man. Pal
Quintan." said he, never relaxing his
rasp.
"God helps those who help them
selves." quoth Lieutenant Blake on
acaring of the Incident at Lanier's
quarters, "but God help those who help
sther fellows, unless the old man likes
It" Blake was but a casual at Fvrt
Cushlng at the moment summoned
thither as a witness before a general
court martial then in session, but there
wax nothing casual In his friendship
for Bob Lanier. Two years' campaign- J
lng In Arizona and one in Wyoming
had made these subalterns fast friends.
Blake was no pet of the post com
mander. Blake bad a way of saying
satirical things of seniors whom be did
sot fancy, and Button was one of
these.
About the only offleer not to put In
an appearance In the club room at the
store the next morning, out of doors.
afoot, in saddle or adrift In snow, was
Lieutenant Lanier. About the llrst
officer Button wished to sec was Bob
and about the last wus Bluku. Yet
such was the freaklslmess of fate that
the first man to hull him. with ill time
vjocularlty. was Itluke. and tho lust of
Mm oiflcers -whom he wus destined that
day to set eyes on wus Bob Lunlcr.
If It had not been for the tiinllns
announcement about the paymaster
Colonel Button would have fotfcht
thdt matter out with the doctor then
and there. First, however, he hud to
send forth his mounted men by score
In search of the missing ollicer and
party. This done, he hud nucc more
summoned Schuchnrdt- Then he sent
for Eunls and hud what they termed u
"rcdhot row."
In his exasperated frame of mind
'Button had been reudy to believe nl"
most any story at the expense of La
nier, and such Is the perversity of
human nature It mlded to rather than
diminished his wrath that his revered
senior surgeon should promptly cor
roborate the statements of both .Schu
chnrdt and Knnls und further uk.su me
personal and entire responsibility for'
the episode of Saturday uf tension In
Lanier's quarters. That episode had
started many a tongue, tn "" of
.Button's henchmen, thinking to win
favor at the fountain head by mention
,of new Iniquity on the part of the
culprit, had deftly cnlurged upon It.
gnnflle, of course, was the fellow nt
fault and bo Justified it on tho plea
that Lanier was demoralizing two men
of bis troop. The story he told was
that Lanier bad been carousing at his
.quarters with certain enlisted mem
bers of the guard.
Nor had Sumter himself much time
for domestic duties beforo the order
came for him and his troop to turn out
to aid In the search.
Mrs, Sumter had not half finished
what she had to say concerning Mir
iam when tho summons en me that
called the captain forth to Join the
searching squadron, but he had heard
taoughto .Increase the anxiety lu jls I
fine, soldierly race, lie went up with
Mrs. Sumter and looked critically over
the damage to tho window In what
had been Miriam's room. She had
moved per force to the front to Kath
crlno's room Saturday night, for to
ward sunset the storm sash was torn
out of tho north dormer, and tho win
dow blow In with n crash.
It was easy to see how and why tho
storm sash had failed to withstand tho
buffeting. In his frantic haste and
panicky flight the intruder of Friday
night had wrenched a hinge from Its
fastening. Tho sash had sagged at tho
windward end, and the rest was easy
for rudo Boreas.
"That sash is probably somewhero
down In tho back yard, sergeant"
Sumter quietly remarked to faithful
Kennedy. "It's under fifteen feet of
snow, but when it comes to tunneling
look after it see that It isn't Injured,
and call me as soon as you find It"
Mrs. Sumter knew the reason of his
instructions.
It must have been after 12, for or
derly call and mess had sounded In
front of the- adjutant's office when ouo
of the hospital attendants came floun
dering up the row from Lanier's and
made his way to Sumter's door, a little
note In his hand. Mrs. Sumter an
swered the maid's knock at the door
of Miss Kate's room, into which the
damsels were now doubled. To the
disappointment of that somewhat vola
tile domestic Mrs. Sumter closed the
portal before proceeding to open the
missive, but her announcement "From
Mr. Lanier," caused Miriam Arnold to
sit bolt upright It read:
Dear Mrs. Sumter I've been living since
Saturday mainly on your kindness and
that delicious fruit. It was more than
good of you to take such care ot your In
carcerated aub. and I'm ashamed to have
lent no earlier thanks, but wero been
banked In until this morning. I rectron
they'll find tho paymaster's outfit snowed
under somewhere down toward Nebraska,
safe, but possibly atarvlnsr. I'm all aJono
with nothing to read. If you have any
thing moral. Instructive and guaranteed
to soften the unrepentant sinner's heart
don't send tt, but tell me how yon all
stood the storm. I hope Miss Arnold is
entirely recovered. Tours, most sincerely.
R. R. LANIER.
"Tho last thing a man mentions In a
note is the first thing be wants an
swered," said Mrs. Sumter sagely.
"What shall I tell him for you, Mir
iam r
"Tell me what is to be done to him,"
was the sole reply as the glr.1 settled
back dejectedly upon the pillows.
"I'vo tried to, child," answered her
hostess kindly, patiently. "There isn't
a court In the army that would sen
tence him to morcathan a brief confine
ment to limits and reprimand." Yet
Mrs. Sumter spoke with much less
confidence than on Saturday. Had not
her husband had to tell her his appli
cation for leave was withdrawn, and
why? Had not Dr. Larrabee admitted
to her that the colonel spoke of mis
deeds far more serious for which La
nier must suffer?

PHOENIX, Sept, 14. Following
the unfortunate affair of the shoot
ing last Tuesday night of a young
man by Deacon Hartly of String
town, a disinterested Christian lady
asks this questien:
To tho readers of tho Medford
Mail Tribune: Do you think if
Jesus hnd a watermelon patch and
would havo'caught a young man tak
ing a Cc or 10c molon, that bo would
have loaded a gun and shot down that
young man, perhaps unto death? No;
I say that Jesus would have laid his
hand gently upon his shoulder and
said: "Go thy way and sin no more."
