"Nenr. nlrr' RIrsb lt him rest a minute, then went ob, "Now, then, In your own way tell us what happened that night of tho 10th.M For a few seconds there was silence. Then, suddenly uplifting his head and looking at no one, Lowndes desperate ly plunged into his narrative. "I I was mad, I suppose, with debt and misery, and I began to drink. Ilaw don told me he must hare the money. My uacto had flatly refused to send use mora There was left mc only one way, and that was through my Cousin Miriam. '-"We'd aluit been brought up together. But I new if I could sec her she would help mc. "Itawdon had changed Into citizen's clothes In town, and I had pawned my overcoat' so he lent me his cavalry ovcrcoatjand a, fur cap, drove me and Cary out to tho fort and left us at the store. We were chilled from the ride and dras more. Rafferty told me Mr. Lanier was" officer of the guard. We 'filled Rafferty up, for Cary had made up bis mind he was going to Rawdon's wedding in 'cits' instead of eoldlcr clothes, and he was bent on borrowing a ult of Lieutenant La nier's. Ho swore he'd return them the next day, and Rafferty let him have them. Then he and I went up the rear fence and caught sight of No. 5 Trooper Kelly. Cary went ahead to 'fix things,' as he said. Kelly was suspicious. Cary to quiet him told him be was Lieutenant Lanier; that we were helping Rawdon get ready for his wedding. "He made Kelly drink to Rawdon's happiness, and drink three or four times, and finally left him with a half full flask up the row toward Major Btannnrd's. Then we went to Captain .Sumter's. Kelly told Cary the serv ants were in at Captain Snaffle's. The door was open. Cary watched below while I hunted for my consul's room. I found it easily. I knew they had aent her money and orders to come home. Uncle bad written me as much. I found her desk. I knew it well of old, and then, to my horror, I heard her voice, and in a second she was In the room. She gave one awful scream, though I tore off my cap and begged her to know me, but she fell in a faint. Others were coming. I broke out of the back window and slid and scrambled down tho roof to tho shed and so to the ground. I heard men come running, so I dived into tho coal bed, where the sergeant grabbed me In the dark, and I had to make him let go and said T was Lieutenant Lanier. Later I crawled through a hole In the fence and started for the store, scared out of my wits. Right at the next gate I crashed into two men. I picked my self and cap up and ran again, caught Cary at the store Just Jumping into a sleigh, and we lashed those horses ev ery Inch of the way, left them at a ranch gate and ran to the station. Rawdon presently came, and bo took mc to Omaha. He, too, bad to get away or be thrown into the guard house." "You have that overcoat with you yet, I believe that cavalry coat" "It's all I have had to wear, sir," was the answer as, rising, he took the garment from the arm of his chair and laid it upon the table, exposing a rent or gash, whereupon Captain Sumter took from an envelope a sliver of yel low cloth and fitted it Into the gap. "This," said ho, "I found on the hook of the storm sash, and this," laying beside it a rusty sheath knife, "was later found under tho snow close un der the dormer window." Then, turn ing the overcoat inside out, he dis played on the back lining in stencil the name "Rawdon." ".And now," said Rlggs, "we will hear the accused." "It Isn't necessary," began Button. "It is necessary, Colonel Button. Of course Mr. Lanier is not obliged to Bpeak, but a few matters remain to be cleared up. There Is yet the time hon ored problem of 'who struck Billy Pat terson ?" "Tho matter is quite simple," said Lanier. "I went direct from tho danc ing room to my quarters. Tho fire -was low, and I went back to call Rafferty. Ho didn't answer, so I had to lug in some fuel. His overcoat hung in the kitchen, and I put that on, and as I opened the back door there came the scream from up tho row. I saw others .tinning toward Captain Sumter's as I started from the back gate. Then a pinn rushed past me, and then some body sprang from Captain Snaffle's yard, and I went headlong. I was on my feet In a second, but ho had me t, round tho neck, ordering me to sur v render. I let him have two hard ones v right and left Somebody else collided .with us, Wo all went down. The last man was up first and ran away ,, It was not I know of his relatives , in Massachusetts and urged him to '' telegraph, but ho suld ho could get ' porno pf it at least at tho fort, So I i drove him and Cary out In n sleigh, " left them at the store and, circling the fort, spent two hours with Miss May hovy, then, gc(tiug uupnsy, as they did not coine, drovo round back to tho storo Just In tlmo to sco Lieutenant Foster-V sleigh going Hko tho wind lo town a ml found Rafferty In frantic ' excitement, Ho said there was hell l i pay. Tho lluutenunt was in arrest. I,ov'iil(t,.iind Cary bad run away with soma of'' hist clothes. The'ro'd been n f.Murty iU illS "2i!u JUylJ"3t. .tbe.il a soUllcr frlciul cnnuTrunning. Skip for your life, Rawdon.' said he. There'' been robbery at Captain Sumter's, and" Sergeant Fltzroy swears It was 'you and that you've struck him ntul assaulted htm. Tho colonel orders you arrested wherever found. The patrols arc out now!' There was no time to explain. I lashed my team to town, caught Lowndes In cavalry over coat aud cap, the fool, and with not -i cent to his name. I gave Cary n note to Miss Mayhew, which he never de livered, and took Lowndes with mo on No. 0 at 11. SO." 'Then you wore not nt Captain Sum ter's that night?" "Nowhere near It, sir." "Now, another matter," continued Rlggs "that night at Laramie of which you told me. These gentlemen will be interested." 'There was nothing remarkable In that I hnd heard of the same thing be ing done nt West Polut. I heard In the nick of time of tho order to tho otllcer of the day to Inspect for Lieutenant Lanier. 1 Imagined that something very serious would happen to him. 1 knew he'd gone to the .post with Lowndes and why. So, with mynpol ogles now to the lieutenant, I slipped round to his teut and into his blau kets." "Did the lieutenant know of It or of tho reason?" , "Never, so far as I know. I doubt if ho knows It now. Lowndes told me tho lieutenant before ho entered West Point was a member of our fraternity. That was enough." "And so far as I am concerned," said Rlggs, "that is enough. Have you gentlemen any questions to ask?" "Not now," answered Button slow ly. "But I desire personally to see the witness later." (To. Be Continued.) hutteiiless rnuiT CAKE.
