CHAPTER VIIL
^TBio the colonel, seated on his veranda and amoking a cigar, caught sight of a cavalry sergeant hurriedly passing his
front
gate.
The
The colonel had been greatly interested and somewhat excited over the details of Perry's adventure as that young gentleman finally gave them, for at first he was apparently averse to saying much about it. Little by little, however, all his conversation
with
Maitland and Ewen
was drawn out, and the particulars of his hostile reception. The colonel agreed with him that there was grave reason to suspect some of the ranch people of knowing far more of Sorgt. Owynnes disappearance than they would tell and finally, seeing Perry's indisposition to talk further, and noting his preoccupation and apparent depression of spirits, he concluded that between fatigue and *-M m^um-vcs the young fellow would be to ted, so he said, kindly: -1$ won't keep you, Perry, you're

May I offer you some whisky or a lottle of beer?' "Thank you, colonel, I believe not tonight. A bath and a nap will set me all right, and I'll be ready to start out first thing in the morning. Good night,, sir."
But Col. Brainard could notgo to sleep. The gnirison had "turned in,' all except the guard and Capt. Stryker. That officer had returned an hour after dark, and, getting a fresh horns had started out again, kjoing down tho south side of the Mouee to search the timber with lanterns, the Cheyenne scouts having reported that Gwvnne'a horse had come up that way. He had been missed by Mr Perry, who galloped up tho trail to catch the platoon before it reached the
post,
and the colonel, now that he had h*u the lieutenant's story, was impatien11 awuiting hia return. Up to within a few minutes of midnight, howovex, neither Stryker nor tho doctor had comej dim lights* were burning in both their quarters and at the guard house. Everywhere else the garrison seemed fthrouded darkness. Catching sight of the yellow rons a.* they flitted through the flood ,ght that poured from hia open doorwa the colonel instantly divined that this must bo a sergeant of Stryker's troop going in search of his captain, and promptly hailed hitn: "What is it, sergeant? Any news. "Yes, sir." answered the soldier, haltin* short. "Sorgt, GWynne's come hack I was going to the captain's to report." "llow did he get back? Iant he in-

TWAS very late that night —nearly midnight—when
main searching parties
had long since come home, unsuccessful Lieut Perry had returned and made report that the people at Dunraven denied having soon or heard anything of Gwynne, that both proprietor and manager had treated his visit as an affront, and that he had had much difficulty in preventing a fracas between his men and a gang of rough fellows employed at the ranch, that Mr. Maitland had fallen back in a Hwoon, and that he had left hiiu to the care of Dr. Quin, who arrived soon after the occurrence.

him feel disturbed and ill at ease. There had evidently been hostility between his predecessor and the proprietor of Dunraven, and very probably there had been bad blood between the men of the Eleventh cavalry and the employes of the ranch: else why should there have been so unprovoked an assault upon the lieutenant this night? Then there were other things that gave him disquiet. Several officers had gathered upon the piazza during the early evening they were mainly of his own regiment, but Capt. Belknap and two of the infantry subalterns were there Law
did not come. Of course the talk was
about
Belknap turned red and looked uncomfortably at his two comrades, as though appealing to them for aid. The younger officers, however, would say nothing at all, and the colonel promptly saw that he had stumbled on some piece on garrison gossip. ,-f "Never mind," he said, with a kindly laugh. I don't want to drag any stories out by the roots. The doctor can doubtless explain it all in good season." "Well, Col. Brainard," answered Belknap, bulkily, "to tell the truth, I really don't know anything about
it,
and I
don't know any one who does, though I have heard some woman talk about the post. The relations between Dr. Quin and some of the officers of the Eleventh were rather strained, and he is a somewhat reserved and secretive man. The stories were set afloat here last fall, and we had to hear more or less of them until the Eleventh went away this spring. We know only that Dr. Quin has been to Dunraven and the rest of us haven t. Possibly some of the Eleventh were
because they had no such luck,
or perhaps their ladies did not like it because Quin wouldn't tell them anything about what he Baw. At all events, he refused to talk on the subject at all, and allowed people to draw their own conclusions. "Ho probably told his post commander," suggested Lieut. Farnham, who, as acting adjutant of the post and an aspirant for the adjutancy of the regiment, thought it a good opportunity of putting in a word as indicative of what he considered the boundeu duty of an officer under like circumstances. "Well, no, I fancy not," replied Belknap. "About the only thing we really do know is that, in a somewhat angry interview last fall, Col. Stratton forbade Dr. Quin's leaving the post or going to
Dunraven without his express permission. I happened to be in the office at the time." "Was it before or after that he was said to go there so often?" asked Farnham. "Well, both," answered Belknap, reluctantly. "But understand me, Mr. Farnham, I know nothing whatever of the matter." "I should not Buppoae that Col. Stratton would care to restrict his post surgeon from going thither if they needed his professional services," said Col. Brainard, pleasantly. "That was the point at issue, apparentlv," answered Belknap. "Col. Stratton "said that it was not on professional grounds that ho went,and thereby seemed to widen the breach between them. Dr. Quin would not speak to the colonel after that, except when duty required it."
The conversation changed here, and little more was said but Co». Brainard could not helg thinking of a matter that he carefully kept to himself. It was not his custom to require his officers to ask permission to ieavo the garrison for aride or hunt when they were to b* absent from no duty, and only by day. Here It .was midnight, as he thought it over, and the dooi had not returned, neither had he mentioned his desire to ride away, although he had been with the colonel well nigh an hoar before parade. True, he had sent the doctor word to go and join Lieut. Perrv at the gate of Dunraven, and that would account for hi# detention but he knew that the surgeon wad several in .les ay from his post and his patients the uwuicnt that message was sent. "-V

All this was new to the cavalrymen: they had heard, as yet, nothing at all, and were not a little taken aback by the evident embarrassment and ominous silence of the three infantrymen, when the colonel turned suddenly on Belknap with the question— "By the way, captain, I had no time to ask Lawrence, and it really did not occur to me until after he had gone, but —what did he mean by saying that Drv Quin could tell us something about the people at Dunraven?'"

TnatoaH of taking a bath and going to bed, Mr. Perry poked his head into Parke's bachelor chamber as he reached the little cottage they shared in common. No Gladvs disturbed the junior's dreams, apparently, tor he was breathing regularly, sleeping the sleep of the just and so, finding no one to talk to and being iii no mood to go to bed at an hour so comparatively early when he had so much to think about, Perry filled a pipe and perched himself in a big chair by the window seat, intending to think at all over again. He was beginning to hate that doctor he would havechafed at the
of any bachelor's being before him in an acquaintance with Gladys Maitland, but a married man knowing her so well as to make his wife jealous and himself indifferent to that fact—knowing her so well as to drive "such a lovely woman, too," into taking her children and quitting the marital roof—that was too much of a bad thing, and Perry was sore discomfited. He got up, impatient and restless, passed out to the little piazza in front of his quarters, and began pacing up and down, the glow from his corncob pipe making a fiery trail in the darkness. He would have been glad to go back to tho colonel and keep watch with him but there was one thing connected with his visit to Dunraven that he could not bear to speak of, especially as those words of Mrs. Lawrence recurred again and again to his memory. He had said one word—he did not want to tell of Gladys Maitland.
And so it happened that Perry, was awake and astir when the footste of the cavalry sergeant were heard their way to Capt. Stryker quarte. Listening, he noted tliut the soldier li halted at the colonel's, held a brief co( versation with that officer, and tlu turned back across tho parade. Instau ly divining that news had come of Ser Gwynne, Perry seized his forage cap hurried in pursuit. He overtook

"You need not tell ine &t all if you do not wish to," said Perry "though I think it is due to yourself that the capjt tain should know how it was you were gone all day and that your horse and you both came back in such condition." "I understand, sir, fully," answered Gwynne, respectfully. "I shall tell the captain the whole story, if he so desira Meantime, I can only ask that no oMj else be told. If the men in the troop hd| an inkling of the true story there wouJT be endless trouble and sol have tried td account for it by saying my horse and had an ugly fall while running a coyote through the timber. We did see a coyote, down near the ranch on the Monee, and I did have an ugly fall: I was set upon by three of those ranchmen and badly handled." "Yes, damn them!" said Perry, excitedly and wrathfully. 'Tve had an experience with them'myself to-night, while we were searching for you." •So much the more reason, sir, why my mishap should not be told among the men. The two affairs combined would be more than they would stand. There are enough Irishmen here in our troop alone to go down and wipe that ranch out of existence and I fear trouble as it stands." "Whether there will be trouble or not will depend very much on the future conduct of the proprietor and manager down there. Of course we cannot tolerate for an instant the idea of their maintaining a gang of ruffians there who are allowed to assault officers or men

Gwynne hesitated painfully again: "The doctor saw me this evening— down new where I was hurt but I got back here without his help, sir. Lieutenant," said the soldier, suddenly, "there are one or two things connected with this day's work that I cannot tell. Gome what may, I must not speak of them, even to the captain."
Perry was silent a moment. Then he kindly answered "I do not think any one" here will
press
you to tell what you consider it might be ungrateful or dishonorable in you to reveal. I will do what I can to see that your wishes are respected. And now, if you are sure I can do nothing for you, good night, sergeant." And the young officer held out his hand. "Good night, sir," answered Gwynne, He hesitated one moment. It was the first time since he entered the service, nearly five years before, that an officer offered him his hand. It was anew and strange sensation. It might not be "good discipline" to take advantage of it, but there were other reasons. Gwynne looked up in the frank blue eyes of his lieutenant and read something there that told anew story. Out came a hand as slender and shapely as that of the young officer, and the two were silently and firmly clasped. "How can I question him?" said Perry to himself as he walked slowly homeward. "Is there not something I am holding back?—something I cannot speak of? By Jupiter! can his be the same reason?" [TO BK coKTnnntp.]

Guiding the Home.
Housework, in moderation, is healthy and pleasant. It is the want of just such an unemotional vent for their restless energy that prod—*es many victims of nervous prostrar Hon. It is also wholly compatible, if brought under any proper system, with good intellectnal work. Morever, the creating and guiding of a home is the best gift the world has to offer. When one thinks of the hood of baa art and second rate literature of the present day, is it not melancholy to reflect upon the wasted energy that might have gone into beautiful and helpful lives! The education is costly, indeed, whose price is the woman's joy in the superintendence of her homfl. she with all the incentives of love and pride, the daily cares that make the comfort of the household, how can she expect them to be rightly met by a hired housekeeper, whose only interest is money getting? "No man can serve two masters ana, therefore, it seems to me self evident that any woman who accepts the gift of a home thereby pledges herself to
devote
to It hsr
best service. The neglect of her first doty and highest privilege cannot lead to any true work in other directions:

HOW TO DUST A ROOM.
A Woman Who TMiifcs There Should Be Method in Thin as in Other Work. The feather duster is an abomination, writes Christina Terhune Herrick in a recent number ol The Housewife. In the hands of a carviess housemaid it is flirted among the furniture, up about the-picture frames, down amid the chair rungs, into nooks and corners, scattering the dust everywhere, brushing the impalpable powder froiu one spot and driving it into another, until, when the maid retireefrom, her labors, all the dost in the room has changed its place, while1 but little of it has been, permanently removed.
There- should "be a method in dusting and it should, be closely followed. First of all, the carpet should be brushed. A thorough sweeping may not be necessary, but in most living rooms thore is daily need of a carpet sweeper or dust pan and brush, often of all three. The carpet sweeper is admirable for taking up the dirt in the middle of the room, bat it iB practically useless-in corners. Every housekeeper should have one of the dust pans that can be held in place- by the foot. The gain in comfort is immeasurable to the woman who has been accustomed to bend herself double when she wished to brush up the fluff that she had gathers# together with her broom.
The high places of the room should next receive attention, the-cornices, curtain poles, etc. A Turk's head brush is invaluable here and is easily improvised by tying a cloth or towel around a feather duster and attaching this to the end of a pole long enough to enable one to touch the ceiling with the brush.
For the other parts of tho room a oloth must be used. Old silk, handkerchiefs make excellent dusters, but even they are not superior to those of cheese cloth. These should not bo too large. A duster a yard long by half a yard wide is big enough for all ordinary purposes. Cheese cloth is so cheap that there is no reason why every family should not be provided with a generous supply of dusters.
They must be hemmed, of course, and may be prettily finished by a feather stitching of bright marking cotton. Such dusters will go into all the nooks and corners, gathering up tho dust and retaining it. They should be shaken after using and washed frequently. It is a tedious business to dust the modern parlor. Filled- with bric-a-brac, adorned with hangings over doors, windows and man ties, ornamented with bits of drapery flung over easels and picture frames, it presents a discouraging aspect to the busy housewifo.
One must pay for having pretty and artistic surroundings, but, as long as the dust gathering agencies are kept out of sleeping rooms, little harm is done. Everything should be moved in dusting. There should be no dusty rims left around ornaments to show how the cloth skimmed around them without touching them. Such carelessness must be watched for in tho housemaid, whose study often is to slight skillfully instead of to perform her task thoroughly.
For dusting tufted ftfrniture, nothing is better than an ordinary house painting brush. The bristles go into every crevice and fold of tho covering and fray the material less than do the straws of a whisk broom.
Tins and Needles.
