and h^he&r^tM sergeant bounding ap-

DUNRAVEN RANCH.

A Storyi of American Frontier Life.

ATE that night Mr. Perry left his quarters and strolled out on the walk that bounded the parade. He could not sleep he was feverishly impatient

for the coming of another day, that he might start forth on his ride to Dunraven. A "spin" around the parade or out on the starlit prairie might soothe bis nerves and enable him to sleep.

All lights v/ere out in the quadrangle, save those at the guard house. Even at Belknap's quarters, where the veranda 3iad been thronged with officers and ladies only an hour before, all was now silence and darkness. Unwilling to attract attention by tramping up and down on the board walk, he crossed the road and went out on the broad level of the parade, but took care so to direct his steps «s not to come within hailing distance of the guard house. It would be awkward work explaining the situation to the sergeant of the guard in case the sentry were to see or hear and challenge him.

He edged well over to his left as he walked, and so it happened that he found himself, after a while, opposite the northeast entrance to the post, and close to the road on which stood the commissary and quartermaster storehouses. There was a sentry posted here, too, and it would not do to be challenged by him any more than by "Number One."

Stopping a moment to listen for the sentry's footfall, Perry's ear was attracted by the sound of a door slowly and cautiously opened. It was some little time before he could tell from which one of the neighboring buildings, looming there in the darkng&s, the soufhd ed. Then he lieard muffled footsteps and a whispered consultation not far away, and hurrying on tiptoe in the direction of the sound he presently caught sight of two or three shadowy forms moving noiselessly along the porch of the company quarters nearest Mm. Stryker's troop, that to which he belonged, was quartered down beyond the guard house on the lower side of the parade these forms were issuing from the barracks of Capt. Wayne's troop, and before Perry oould realize the fact that they were out either in moccasins ©r their stooking feet, and presumably therefore on some unlawful enterprise, they had disappeared around the corner of tho building. He walked rapidly thither, turned the corner and they were nowhere in sight or hearing. Stopping to listen did not help matters at all. He could not hear a sound, and as for the shadows of which he was in pursuit, it was simply impossible to tell which direction they had taken. They had vanished from the face of the earth and were lost in the deeper gloom tb$£ hung about the scattered array of wooden buildings—store houses, fuel sheds and cook sneds—at the rear of the post.

Had it been his own troop he could have roused the first sergeant and ordered a "chock" roll call as a means of determining at once who the night prowlers might be: but Capt. Wayne had his peculiarities, and one of them was an unalterable and deeply rooted objection to any interference on the part of other -officers in tho management of his men. Perry's first thought, too, was of the stables and Sergt. Gwvnne. Were they meditating another foray, and had tho •feeling spread outside their own company? No time was to be lost. He turned his face eastward to where the dark •Outlines of the stables could be dimly traced against the sky, and hastened, stumbling at times over stray tin cans and other discarded rubbish, until he crossed the intervening swale and reachni the low bluff along which the crude. unpainUnl structures were ranged.

Perry walked around to the front again, taking another survey of the. sleeping garrison as he did so, and listening once more for footsteps but all was stilL |Presently the little panel in the big door was unlocked from within, and the lieutenant bent low and entered, finding

Gwynne, lantern in hand, standing in his uncompromising attitude of "attention" at the entrance. "Everything been quiet here to-night?" he asked, as he straightened up. "Perfectly so, sir." "Come into your room a moment I want to speak to you," said Perry, after a moment's reflection.

They passed along the broad gangway between the rows of sleepy horses, some lying down in their stalls, others still afoot and munching at their hay. The stable guard stood at his post and faced them as they turned into the dark and narrow passage leading into Gwynne's little sanctuary. The lamps along the line of stalls burned low and dim, and, the ports being lowered, gave no gleam without the walls. Once more, however, a bright light shone from the window of the stable sergeant's room—brighter than before, could they only know it, for this time there was no intervening shade. After his brief inspection of the lieutenant's face, Gwynne had left it drawn.

The sergeant set his lantern on a wooden desk, and respectfully waited for his superior to speak. Perry looked him well over a moment, and then began: "Did you tell Capt. Stryker the partio alars of your rough treatment down ttore at the ranch?" "The rough treatment—yes, sir." "Would you mind telling me where you were taken?—where you saw Dr. Quin?"

The sergeant hesitated one moment, a troubled look on his face. His one available eye studied his lieutenant's •features attentively. Something in the frank, kind blue eyes—possibly some sudden recollection, too—seemed to reassure him. "It was to Mr. .Cowan's little house, sir. He interposed to save me from a worse beating at the hands of three brutes! who wt&te employed there and had some grudge against this garrison of which I was ignorant. They attacked me without a word of warning. It was he, too, who called in Dr. Quin." 1 "Have you—did you see any of the people at Dunraven besides this young man?" "I saw his mother, sir. She is a nurse there, and has been in the family for years, I am told."

Perry was silent a moment. Then he spoke again: "Have you heard any furthrer threats among the men here since the arrest of Sergt. Leary?"

Perry soon found himself at tho pathway leading to his own domain, and the next minute was gazing in surprise at a light burning dimly In the window of the lit- If anything should happen to me, to tie room occupied by Sergt.

Striding ap to tho window, he tapped "Certainly. I will take care of It fdfr lightly, and Gwynne's voice sternly Lyou—if not too valuable." Challenged from within, "Who's ^*i^ould rather know it was with you, A "Lieut. Perry, sergeant. Come around than stow it in the quartermaster^ ^and open the stable door for me. was Gwynne's answer, as he "One moment, sir," was the answer,

Gwynne hesitated, ooloring painfully: "It is something I hate to speak of, sir. The talk lias not alarmed me in the least." "I know that, sergeant. All the same we want to prevent a recurrence of that performance, and it was that, mainly, that brought me over here. I saw some men stealing out of troop's quarters awhile agefe and lost them in the darkness. I tmmght they might be coming over here, and—got here first."

Gwynne's face lighted up. It touched him to know his officers were on the lookout for his safety. "I have heard nothing, sir. The men would hardly be apt to speak to me on the subject, since the affair of the other night What I fear is simply this—that there is an element here in the regiment that is determined to get down there to the ranch and have satisfaction for the assault that was made on you and your party. They need horses in order to get there and back between midnight and reveille, and are doubtless hatching some plan. They failed here now they may try the stables of some other troop or the quartermaster's. Shall I warn the sentry that there are prowlers out tonight?" "Not yet. They will hardly make the attempt while your light is burning here. What I'm concerned about just now is this: We all know that there deep sympathy for Leary in the command, and it is not improbable that among the Irishmen there is corresponding feeling

pacing his post Perry could sec his form, are almost the only witness against dimly outlined, as he breasted the slope, him." and it determined him to keep on in the "I have thought of that, sir," answered hollow until he got to a point opposite Gwynne, gravely, "but I want nothing the stables of his own troop. If there' that looks like protection. The captain was to bo any devilment it might'be well has spoken of the matter to me, and he to see whether this,, soldier, too, would agreed, sir, that it would do more harm than good. There is one thing I would asly^if I may trouble tlie lieutenant." "What is it, sergeant?* 1 "I have a little packet, containing some next jpapers and a trinket or two, that I would lightTlifee very much to have kept safely, and.

moment, drew forth a parcel tied and sealed. This he handed to the lieutenant. "Now I will go back and notify the officer of the guard of what I have seen,** said Perry "and I want Nolan, saddled over at my quarters right after morning stables. Will you see to it?" ff"I will, sir. and thank you for your fondness."

All was darkness, all silence and peace as Perry retraced his steps and went back to the garrison, carrying the little packet in his hand. He went direct to the guard house, and found Mr. Graham sulky over being disturbedJp his snooze by the sentry's challenge. $$ "What the devil are you owling around this time of night for?' was the not unnatural question. "I thought it was the officer of the day, and nearly broke my neck in hurrying out here."

But Perry's brief recital of the fact that he had seen some men stealing out of the quarters of troop in their stocking feet or moccasins put an end to Graham's complaints. Hastily summoning the sergeant of the guard, he started out to make the rounds of his sentries, while Perry carried his packet home, locked it in his desk, and then returned to the veranda to await developments.

Sergt. Gwynne, meantime, having lighted his young officer to the stable door, stood there a few moments, looking over the silent garrison and listening to the retreating footsteps. The sentry came pacing along the front of the stables, and brought his carbine down from the shoulder as he dimly sighted the tall figure but, recognizing the stable sergeant as he came nearer, the ready challenge died on his lips. "I thought I heard somebody moving around down here, sergeant. ,"-' It was you, then, was it?" "I have been moving around—inside —but made no noise. Have you heard footsteps or voices?" ,•£* "Both, I thought but it's as Black as your hat on this beat to-night. I can't see my hand afore my face." "Keep your ears open, then there are men out from one of the quarters, at least, and no telling what they are up to. Who's in charge at the quartermaster's' stables?" "Sergt. Beilly.of the infantry some of the fellows were over having a little game with him before tattoo, and I heard him tell 'em to come again, when they had more money to lose, He and his helper there were laughing at the way they cleaned out the cavalry when they were locking up at taps. The boys fetched over a bottle of whisky with 'em." "Who were they?" "Oh, there was Flanagan and Murphy, of troop, and Corporal Donovan and on^ or two others. They hadn't been drinkin'." "But Riley had—do you mean?" "He was a little full not much." &^ "Well, look alive now, Wicks. It's my advice to you that you w&tch that end of your post with all your eyes." And with this Sergt. Gwynns turned back into the stable, picked up his lantern and returned to the little room in which he slept A current of cool i^ight air, blowing in through the open basement, attracted his attention. Odd! He knew he had pulled aside the shade to scan the features of the lieutenant when he tapped at the pane, but he could not recall having opened the sash. It swung on a hinge, and was fastened by a loosely fitting bolt. Perhaps the rising wind had blown it in. He set his lamp down as before, closed the sash and then closed and locked the lid of his chest That, too, was open. Wicks, the sentry, well up to the north end of his post and close to the entrance of the quartermaster's corral, was bawling: "Half past 19 o'clock, and a-all's well," when the light went out in Gwynne's little room, and all the line of stables was wrapped in darkness.

Perry fretted around the veranda until I o'clock, then sought his room. He was still too excited to sleep, and it seemed an interminable time before he dozed off. Then it seemed as though he could not have been in dreamland five minutes before a hand was laid upon his shoulder, shaking him vigorously, and a voice he well knew was exclaiming, in low but forcible tones:

Wake, lieutenant, wake I Every horse is gone from the quartermaster's corral. There must be twenty men gone down the valley. I've Nolan here for you at the gate."

In ten minutes Lieut. Perry and Sergt. Gwynne were riding neck and neck out over the eastern prairie—out towards the paling orient stars and the faintly gleaming sky—before them, several miles away, the dark and threatened walls of Dunraven, behind them the stir and excitement and bustle consequent upon a night alarm. The colonel, roused by Perry with the news, had ordered the instant sounding of the assembly, and the garrison was tumbling out for roll call. ir ..

CHAPTER XVIL

rGRRE -HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT.

THE head of a score of his own men, Capt. Stryker rode forth some fifteen minutes

later. His orders from CoL Brainard were to go to Dunraven, and. if he found the marauders there, to arrest the entire party and bring them back to the post From all that could be learned from hurried questioning of the sentries and tb dared, half drunken sergeant of the corral the troopers engaged in the raid liave selected a time whe&the sen

try was walking towards the south end of his post to lift one of their number over the wall of the inclosure in which were kept the wagons and ambulances. This man had unbarred from within the gate leading eastward to the trail down which the "stock" was driven daily to water in the Monee. Riley admitted that "the boys" had left a bottle with him which he and his assistant had emptied before turning in, and so it happened that, unheard and unseen, the raiders had managed to slip out with a dozen horses that were kept there and had also taken six mules as "mounts" for those who could not find anything better.

Eighteen men, apparently, were in the party, and the sentry on Number Three heard hcof beats down towards the valley about half past 2 o'clock, but thought it was only some of the ponies belonging to the Cheyenne scouts. There was one comfort—the men hat I taken no firearms with them for a hurried inspection of the company quarters showed that the carbines were ail in their racks and the revolvers in their cases. Some of the men might have small caliber pistols of their-own, but tho government arms had not been disturbed Half the party, at least, must have ridden bareback and wiih only watering bridles for their steeds. They were indeed "spoiling for a fight," and the result of ilie roll call showed that the missing troopers were all Irishmen and some of the best and most popular men in the command. Whatever their plan, thought Stryker. he trotted down to the Monee, it was probably carried out by this time: it was now within a minute of 4 o'clock.

Only a mile out he was overtaken by Dr. Quin, who reined up an instant to ask if any one had been sent ahead. "Thank God for that!" he exclaimed, when told that Perry and Sergt. Gwynne liad gone at the first alarm then, striking spurs to his horse, pushed on at rapid gallop, while the, troopers maintained their steady trotg^A mile from Dunraven, in the dim light of early morning, the captain's keen eyes caught sight of shadowy forms of mounted men on the opposite shore, and, despite their efforts to escape on their wearied steeds, three of them were speedily run down and captured. One of them was Corp. Donovan, and Donovan's face was white and his manner agitated. Bidding him ride alongside as they pushed ahead towards the ranch, Stryker questioned him as to

Severhad

'hat taken place, and the corporal sought to equivocate: JlrWe've been trying for several nights, air, to get horses and go down and have it out with those blackguards at the ranch. We took no arms, sir, even those of us who had pistols of our own. All we asked was a fair fight, man against man. They wouldn't come out of their hole—they dasn't do it, sir—and then they fired on us. We'd have bvirned the roof over their heads, but that Lieut. Perry galloped in and stopped us. 1 came away then, sir, and so did most of us. We knew 'twas all up when we saw the lieutenant but there was more firing after I left. This way, captain. Out |^co.ss tjie prairie hpre. We cut down the fence on this side." And so saying, 1 )onovan led the little troop to a broad gap in the wide barrier, and thence straight across the fields to where lights were seen flitting about in tho dark shadows of the buildings of the ranch. Another moment, and Stryker had dismounted and was kneeling beside the prostrate and unconscious form of his lieutenant. Some misguided ranchman, mistaking for a new assailant the tall young soldier who galloped into the midst of the swarm of taunting Irishmen,. had fired the cruel shot. There lay Nolan dead upon the

Bward,

and

here, close at hand, his grief stricken master had finally swooned from loss of blood, the bullet having pierced his leg below the knee. Beside him knelt (he doctor: he had cut away the natty riding boot, and was rapidly binding up the wound. Close at hand stood Gwynne, a world of anxiety and trouble in his bruised and still discolored face.

Grouped around were some of the assailing party, crestfallen and dismayed at the unlooked for result of their foray, but ashamed to attempt to ride away, now that their favorite young officer was fiore stricken as a result of their mad folly. Mr. Ewen, too, had come out, and was busUing about, giving directions to the one or two of his hands who had ventured forth from the office building. The big frame house under whose walls the group was gathered was evidently used as a dormitory for a number of men, and this had been the objective point of the attack, but not a soul had issued from its portals the occupants were the men who made the assault on Perry the night of his first visit, and now they deemed it best to keep within. Everything indicated that Perry had got to the scene just in time to prevent a bloody and desperate fracas, for tho few ranch people who appeared were still quivering with excitement and dread. Ewen was almost too much agitated to speak: "Go to Mr. Maitland as soon as you can, doctor this has given him a fearful shaking up. Mrs. Cowan is having a room made ready for Mr.' Perry. Ah! here's young Cowan now. Ready?' he asked. ^'Alt ready. Mother says carry the gentleman right in. She wants you to come too," he added, in a lower tone, to Sergt. Chrj nne, Jjut the latter made no reply.

And so, borne in the arms of several of his men, Lieut. Perry was carried across the intervening space and into the main building. When he recovered consciousness, as the morning light came through the eastern windows, he found himself lying in a white curtained bed in a strange room, with a strange yet kind and motherly face bending over him, and his captain smiling down into his wondering eyes. v" You are coming round all right, old fellow," he heard Stryker say. "Fll call the doctor now he wanted to see you as soon as you waked."

And then Quin came in and said a few cheery words, and badfe him lie still and worry about nothing. Hie row was over, thanks to him,, and he and poor.Nclan

were the only victims but it had been a great shock to Mr. Maitland and rendered his condition critical.

Perry listened in silence, asking no questions. For. the time being he could think of nothing but Nolan's loss. It was such a cruel fate to be killed by those he came to save. JR' "K

All that day he'"l£y there, dozing and thinking alternately. He wondered at the tenderness and devotion with which the kind old Englishwoman nursed him and seemed to anticipate his every want. Quin came in towards evening and dressed his wound, which now began to be feverish and painful. He heard his colonel's voice in the hallway, too, and heard him say to the doctor that somebody at Rossiter was eager to come down and take care of him. "Bosh!" said the blunt surgeon "I've a far better nurse here—and a reserve to fall back upon that will be worth a new life to him." And, weak and feverish though he was, Perry's heart thrilled within him he wondered if it could mean Gladys. Two days more he lay there, the fever skillfully controlled by the doctor's ministrations, and the pain of his wound subdued by Mrs. Cowan's cooling bandages and applications. But there was a burning fever in his heart thai utterly refused to go down. He strained his ears listening for the sound of her voice or the pit-a-pat of her foot fall in the corridor. At last he mustered courage and asked for her, and Mi's. Cowan smiled: "Miss Maitland has been here three times to inquire how you were but it was while you were sleeping, Mr. Perry, and she rarely leaves her father's bedside. He is very ill, and seems to be growing weaker every day. 1 don't know what we would have done if we had not found Dr. Quin here he lias pulled him through two or three bad seizures during the past year." "Where had you known the doctor before?" asked Perry, with an eager light in his eyes. "Nowhere but it was as though one of his own kith and kin had suddenly made'his appearance here to welcome Mr. Maitland. The doctor is a first cousin of Mrs. Maitland's she was from Ireland, and it was from her family that the ranch was named. Lord Dunraven is of the peerage of Ireland, you know," added Mrs. Cowan, with the cheerful Confidence of the Englishwoman that every person of any education or standing must be familiar with the pages of Debrett. "How should 1 know anything about "it?" iaughod Perry. He felt in merry inood: another page in his volume of suspicion and dread was being torn away, and Quin's relations with the household wore turning out to be such as made him an object of lively interest, not of jealous doubt.

Then came the callers from the garrison. It seemed as though all of a sudden the blockade had been*raised aud that no people were so warmly welcomed at Dunraven as the very ones who had been especially proscribed. Mr. Maitland, weak and ill as he was, had asked to be allowed to see Col. Brainard on the occasion of that officerfe second visife Stryker, Dana, Graham and Parke had all been allowed to come up and see "Perry a few moments, but Mrs. Cowan was vigilant and remorseless, would allow them only a brief incerview, and, with smiling determination. checked her patient when he attempted to talk. The third day of his imprisonment Dr. Quin came scowling in along in the afternoon, manifestly annoyed about something, and said a few words in a low tone to Mrs. Cowan, and that usually equable matron .fluttered away down stairs in evident excitement. "It's Mrs. Belknap," explained the doctor, in answer to Perry's inquiring look. "She has ridden down here with Dana and sent her card up to Gladys— who can'ib bear the sight of her I don't know why intuition, I suppose."

Presently Mrs. Cowan reappeared: "Miss Gladys has asked to be excused, as she does not wish to leave her father at this moment and the lady would like to wme up and see Mr. Perry." "Tell her no!" said Quin, savagely. No—here: I'll go myself." .And down went the doughty medical officer, and straightway the rumbling tones of his harsh voice were heard below: the words were indistinguishable, but Mrs. Cowan's face indicated that there was something in the sound that gave her comfort. She stood at the window watching the pair, as they rode away. "Miss Gladys shuddered when she had to shake hands with her that day when we came away from Mrs. Sprague's," said. she. "I hope that lady is not a particular friend of yours, Mr. Perry?" "We have been very good friends indeed," said he, loyally. "To be sure, I have hardly known Mrs. Belknap a month, but both she and the captain have been very kind to me." All the same, down in the bottom of his heart, he did not wonder at Miss Maitland's sensations. He was beginning to despair of ever seeing her, and yet could get no explanation that satisfied him. "You know she can walk only with great pain and difficulty even now," said Mrs. Cowan. "Her ankle was very badly wrenched, and she hardly goes farther than from her own to her father's room. You ought to feel complimented that she has been here to your door three times." feel more like butting my brains nlt for being asleep," muttered Perry in reply. "I wish you would wake me next time, Mrs. Cowan. I shan't believe it until I see it. or hear her voice at the door."

She had excused herself to Mrs. Belknap, and the doctor had denied that lovely woman her request to be allowed to come up and see Mr. Perry and yet the very next day, when tho big four mule ambulance from Rossiter came driving up to the front door, and Mrs. Sprague and Mrs, Lawrence, escorted by the colonel and Capt. Stryker, appeared on the veranda, how did it happen that the ladies were speedily ushered upstairs to Miss Maitland's own room, and that, after an animated though low toned chat of half an hour with her, they were marshaled down the long corridor by Mrs. Cowaa in person, and, to
