Jack—otherwise Lient. John Tracy— shook Ms head ss he whiffed at the cigarette he had just lighted and then stretched forth las hand for the foaming gliwn of beer which the attendant brought him, but vouchsafed no verbal reply. Leo and Martin edged over to where the two captains were playing their inevitable game of seven op. Two of the juniors—young second liecKm&iitB —di-^piU the extreme cordiality of Noel's invjtuikxn, begged to be excused, as they did not care to drink anything—even lemonade and no sooner had the party finished their modest potation than there was a general move. Wallace and Heara went into the billiard room Wharton and L-*t started in tue direction of their quartern: and presently Mr. Noel was the only man in the clubroom without an occupation of some kind or a comrade to talk to.
Now, why should this have been the cane? Noel's whole manner was overflowing with jollity and kindliness his eyes beamed and sparkled aa he looked from one man to the other ho hailed each in tarn by his Christian name and in tones of most cordial friendship he chatted and laughed and had comical anecdotes to toll the party lie was a tall stylinh, ftue looking fellow, witli expressive dark eyes and wavy dark brown hair hi* mustache was the secret envy of more than half of his associates his figure was really elegant in its grace and supplenean his uniforms fitted him like a glove, and were invariably of Hatfield's choicest handiwork. Appearances were with him in every sense of the word and yet thero was some reason why his society was politely but positively shunned by several of bis brother -officers and "cultivated" by none
It was only a few years after the great war when Gordon Noel joined the Elev enth from civil life. He came of an old and influential family, and was welcom ed in the regiment as an acquisition. Ho made friends rapidly, and was for two or three years as popular a youngster as there was in tho service. Then the troop to which he was attached was ordered to the plains, viu Leavenworth. It
WHS
a
long journey by boat, and by the time they reached tho old frontier city orders and telegrams were awaiting them, ono of which, apparently to Mr. Noel's great surprise, detached him from his company and directed him to report for temporary duty at tho war department in the city of Washington. He was there eighteen •months, during which time his regiment had some sharp battles with the Cheyennes and Kiowaa in Kansas and tho Indian Territory. Then anew secretary of war gave ear to the oft repeated appeals of the colonel of the Eleventh to have Mr. Noel and one eirttwo.other dotaohed gentlemen returned'to.duty with thoir respective coin panics, and just as fchoy were moving to the Pacific coast the absentee* reported for duty and went along. At Vunconver and Walla Walla Noel swmed to regain by his joviality and good fellowship what be had lost in tho year and a half of his absence, though there wero out and out soldiers in tho Eleventh who said that the man who would stfty on "fancy duty" in Washington or any where else while his comrades were in the midst of a stirring campaign against hostile Indian*«ouldn!t bo of tho right sort.
Upsin Oregon the Modoc trouble* soon began, and several troop were sent southward from their stations, scon ting. There wore several littlo skirmish** between the Various detachments and the agile Indians, with no great loss on dither aide but wlfui "Opt, Jack" retired to the natural fastness of the lava beds, .serious work !egan. and hero Mr. Noel was found to be too ill to take part in tho campaign, and was sent in to San I Francisco to recuperate. The short but bloody war was brought to a close with -out his having taken part in any of its actions, but he rejoined after a delightful convalescence in San Francisco {where it wa* understood that he had broken down only after riding night and day and all alone some 300 miles through the wilderness with orders to a battalion of his regiment that was urgently needed
At the front), and was able to talk very glibly of what had occurred down in the Klamath Lake country. Then came his promotion to a first lieutenancy, and, luck would have it, to a troop stationed at the Presidio.
For three months he was the gayest of the gay. the life of parties of every kind both in town and in garrison he was in exuberant health and spirits he danced night after night, and was the most popular partner ever welcomed in the parlors of hospitable San Francisco. And then all of a sudden there came tidings of an outbreak among the Ariiona Apaches of so formidable a character that the division commander decided to send his Presidio troopers re-enforce the one regiment that was trying to cover a who?* territory. There was pathetic parting, with no end of lamentation, when Mr. Noel was spirited away with his lynx eyed captain but they need not have worried—those fair dames and damsels: not a hair of his handsome head was in danger, for the —th had grappled with and throttled their foe* before the detachment from the Eleventh were fairly it the territory, and the latter were eoon ordered to return and to bring with them, as prisoners to be confined at Air catras, the leaden of the outbreak, who would be turned over to them by the -th. To hear Noel toQ of these fierce captives afterward was somewhat confusing. as, from his account, it would apt«*r that they had been taken in hand-to-hand conflict by himself and a email
douchm™. of hi. own botth*.
-ff. t»& troop at Fort Graham as soon as he The Ekvvsuth came had turned over hit funds and property the Rocki« in time to participate in the ^eitenafced to nOiet* him:
and was on tEe Yellowsfcone when Caster end his favorite companies were being wiped outof existence on the Little Horn. The news of that tragedy made many a heart sick, and Mr, Noel was-so much affected that when his comrades sfcarted to make a night ride to the front to join what was left of the Seventh, he was left behind, ostensibly to sleep off a violent headache. He promised to ride after and catch them next day. but, through some error, got aboard (J m. Terry's steamer, the Far West, and made himself so useful looking after the wounded that the surgeon in charge was grateful* and, knowing nothing of his antecedents, gave blm a certificate on which be based an application for leave on account of sickness, and went to Bismarck with the wounded, and thence to the distant east, where he thrilled clubs and dinner tables with graphic accounts of the Custer battle and bow we got up just in time to save the remnant of the Seventh.
The Eleventh fought all through the campaign of *76 and the chase after Chief Joseph in T7 but Noel was again on temporary duty at the war department, and there he stayed until *78, by which time various officials had become acquainted with some of the facts in the case. The Eleventh "cold shouldered1" him for awhile after he got back but they happened to be now in a region where there were no "hostiles." and where hops, germans, theatricals, tableaux and entertainments of all kinds were the rage. No other man could be half so useful to the ladies as Gordon Noel. He had just come from Washir 56bn and knew everything and when they took him up and made much of him 'twas no use for the men to stand aloof they had to take him up too.
Lane was adjutant of the regiment at this time and he, having seen every report and letter with reference to Mr. Noel that had been filed in the office, would hardly speak to him at all except when on duty, and this feeling was intensified when,*a year or so later, they were suddenly hurried to Arizona on aocount of a wild dash of the Chirieahuaa, and as the different companies took the field and hastened in the pursuit Mr. Noel was afflicted with a rheumatic fever of such alarming character that the youthful "contract" surgeon who had accompanied his troop hold him back at the railway and speedily sent him east on a throe months' sick leave, which family influence soon made six. And this was about the record and reputation that Mr. Noel had succeeded in making when Capt Rawlins was ready to bet Capt, Greene that, despite it all, the regimental Adonis would get, the recruiting detail, vice Lane, for everybody knew Fred Lane so well as to prophesy that he would apply to be relieved and ordered to rejoin his regiment, and everybody was eager to see him take hold of poor old Currau's troop, for if anybody could straighten it out" Lane could.
Tho news that Noel was named by the -lonel caused a sensation at regimental e.'idqnarters which the Eleventh will probably not soon forget. "Old Riggs" iiad become tho commander of the regiment after it seemed that tho Indian wars were over and done with, and, thanks to our peculiar system of promotion, was now at the head of an organization with which he had never served aa stibaltern, captain or junior field officer. Discipline forbade saying anything to his face—for which the colonel waa devoutly thankful—but everybody said to everybody else that.it was all Mrs. Riggs' doing, a fact which the colonel very well know.
So did Noel, though he rushed into the dub room apparently overwhelmed with amazement and delight: '1 supposed of course it would be Follansbee. il never dreamed ho would give it rto me. Come up, crowd! come up everybody! It's champagne today." he jovially shouted and there were men who.could mot bear to snub him openly. Nothing had really ever been proved Against him why should they judge him? But there were several who declined, alleging ope excuse or another, and even those who drank with him did so while applauding Wharton's toast: 'Well, Noel, here's to you! It ought to have been Follansbee but I wish you the joy of it,"
CHAPTER HL
I don't know how to ted yrm how I rept hating to my 'No,' Mr, Lane.*' Never before had Fred Lane known the sensation of being reluctant to rejoin his regiment When the oolonel wrote personal letter to him some eight or ten weeks previous, telling him that Curran would almost surely get the next vacancy on the retired list and that he would expect his old adjutant to come back to them at once and restore effidea* cy and discipline to fe»oop D, Mr. Lane replied with the utmost readiness hot this was before Mabel Vincent came into hi* life and changed its whole cortrnt. How much and how devote^y he loved her Lane himself never realised until the day of his promotion reached him, and with it tbe news that his sao
he knewUoel so wed as tofeel assured, that he would not wait for the arrival of formal orders, but-, if the colonel would permit, would start the instant he received telegraphic notification from Washington that "Old Riggs'" nomination had been approved. "This is Wednesday,** he mused "and by a week from today I can count on his being, here aall in ten days 1 must go.
There waa a latge party that night, and, fully a week before, he had asked that he might have the honor of being Miss Vincent's escort It was with great disappointment that he received her answer. which was sp&ken, however, in a tone of such sorrow that poor Lane Mt that the barbs, at least, of the arrow had been removed. "I don't know how to tell you how I regret having to say 'No,' Mr. Lane," the said, and there was a tremor in hear roice and a little quiver at the corners of her pretty inoush. "I have almost felt confident that you were going tc ask me —is that a very bold thing to say?—for yon have been so—so kind to me since our first meeting, and indeed I wanted in some way to let you know that there were other arrangements already made. But how could I say anything? Mr. Rossi ter. the eldest son of father's former partner, comes to pay us a visit of four or five days before he goes abroad again. And he is a great friend of tbeChiltons, and, being our guest, he goes with me. Indeed, I\n very sorry, Mr. Lane, if you are disappointed.**
Fred, of course, begged that she should give herself no uneasiness. There was no other girl whom he had thought of taking. Mr. 'Rossiter was very much to be envied, and he would like to call and pay his respects to that gentleman when hearrived. "By all means do," said Miss Vincent and, if not asking too much, would Mr. Lane get him card at the club? Brother Res was away, or she wouldn't trouble him. But Lane was delighted to be troubled. Anything she asked—any service he could render her— he flew with untold eagerness to accom plish and, thfragh properly jealous of the coming man—this Mr. Rossiter, of whom he had never before heard mention—he was eager to meet and entertain him. Tho gentleman was to arrive on Monday, and Lane spent a delightful evening at the Vincents', wondering why he hadn't come. Tuesday wonld surely bring hisa, or an elimination, said Miss Mabel and on Tuesday Lhne was prompt to call, and glad to spend another long evening at the hospitable old homestead, and stoutly did he hold his ground through three successive relays of visi tors, encouraged to do so by a certain look in his lady's bright eyes that spoke volumes to his throbbing heart, and that very next morning at the club ho found her dainty missive on his breakfast table.
How early she must haverisen to write it.!—and to have seen the announcement of his promotion in the Washington dispatchesl True, he remembered that it was frequently her pleasure to be up betimes to give her father his coffee for Vincent pere was a business man of the old school, who liked to begin early in the day. Of course he had seen the name In tho Washington news and had read the paragraph to her that was the way to account for it. But her note was a joy to him in its-sweet, half shy, half confidential wording. She merely wrote to say thai Mr. Rossiter had wired that he would be detained in New York until the end of the week and now, if Capt. Lane had really made no engagement, ihe would be glad indeed if he cared to renew the invitation which with such regret she was compelled a week ago to decline. Lane totally forgot his breakfast in his haste to rush to the writing room and send her a reply.
All "The Queen City" had been quick to see or hear of his "sudden smite" and consequent devotion to Mabel Vincent, and great was the speculation as to the probable result.
How can she encourage him as die does? What can she see in that solemn prig?" indignantly demanded Miss Fanny Holton, who had shown a marked interest in Mr. Lane during his first six months ih society and had danced with him all through the season. "He is one of the forlorneat. stupidest men I ever knew—utterly unlike what I supposed a cavalry officer to be." "And yet, Fanny dear, you were very much taken up with him the first winter —last year, I "mean," was the reply of her most devoted and intimate friend, "What an outrageous fib! I wasn't, and, if I was, it was because I wanted to draw him out—do something to enliven him. Of course I danced with him a great deaL There isn't a better dancer in town, and you know it, Maud you've said so yourself time and again.'1' "Well, you didn't draw him out—nor on. But the moment he sees Mabel Vincent he falls heels over head in love with her. Why, I never saw a man whose every look and word so utterly "gave him away,' was Miss Maud's characteristic and slangy reply. "And it's my belief she'll take Mm, too. She likes Mm well, and she says he knows more than my other man die has ever met "He has money, too, and can resign and live here if she wants Mm to," went en Miss Maud after a pause which, oddly saough, her friend had not taken advantage of. "Tern don't know anything bemt what Mabel Vincent will or won't do, Maud. Tve known her years longer than you have, and, though Fm awfully food of bar, and wouldn't have this repeated for toe world—and you must swear never to npeat it to anybody—1 know her so well that I can say she doomt know bar own mind now and would change it fn less than six months if dbe did. She isas fickle in love as in bar friendships and you cant have forgotten how inseparable yon and die wero for three months at Mm* Hoffman's, and then howshetN* teoed on {Catherine Ward.

HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT
And so in the smoking room at the club and in the feminine cliques and coteries in society the probability of Maftel Vincent's accepting Lieut Lane was a matter of frequent discussion. But of all this cMt-ehat and speculation Capt Lane stood in profound ignorance as be entered his dark office that drenching Wednesday morning with her precious note in his waistcoat pocket. Ho neither knew nor cared what bid Vincent was Worth all he wanted was Mabel's own sweet self, for he loved her with his whole heart and soul, with all the strength and devotion of his deep and loyal nature. He could hardly control his voice so as to speak in the conventional official tone to the sexgeant in charge as the latter saluted him at the doorway and made the customary report of the presence of the detachment. Lane stepped into his little dressing room and tuickly appeared in his neat fatigue uniform. There wasn't a ghost of a chance of would be recruits wandering in that day but he was a stickler for discipline. He required his men to be always in their appropriate uniform, and never neglected wearing his own while in the office yet in all the Queen City no one but his little party, the applicants for enlistment and the few citizens who came in on business, had ever seen him except in civilian dress. "These reports and returns all go in tomorrow, I believe?" said Lane to his sergeant "They do, sir." "Well, will you take them in to the clerk again," said Lane, blushing vividly. "and teU him to alter that 'first lieutenant' to4captain' wherever it occurs? The—official notification is just here," he added, almost apologetically. "Sure I'm glad to hear it, sir. All the men will be glad, sir, and Fm proud to think thai I was the first man to salute the captain today," was the sergeant's delighted answer. "Ill call Tamtorin at once."
But Lane was blissfully thinking of the little note, now transferred to the breast pocket of his uniform blouse, and of how not his honest old sergeant but sweet Mabel Vincent was the first to hail him by his new title, and in thinking of the note and of her he failed to notice that, so far from coming at once, it was fully ten or fifteen minutes before Taintor, the clerk, put in an appearance, and when he did that his face was ashen gray and his hand shook as though with palsy "The sergeant will tell you what is to be done with the papers, Taintor," said Lane, conscious that he was blushing again, and consequently striving to appear engrossed in the morning paper. The man picked them up one after another and without a word he dropped one to the floor in his nervousneess, but made a quick dive for it, and then for the door, as though fearful of detention. He hurried through the room in which the sergeant and one or two men were seated, and, reaching his big desk at a rear window, where he was out of sight, dropped the papers on the floor and buried his face in his shaking hands.
A few minutes later the sergeant, coming into the littlet cubby hole of a room in wMch Taintor had preferred to do his work, found Mm with Ms arms on the desk and his face Mdden in them, and ilie soldier clerk was quivering and twitching from head to foot. •What'sthe matter with you, Taintor?" growled the old soldier. "Didnt you promise me you'd quit drinking?"
The face that looked up into his was ghastly. "It isnt drink, sergeant," moaned the man. "At least, I haven't exceeded for a month. I've got a chill—on ague of some kind. Uust let me run down to the drug store and get some quinine—with porhaps a little brandy. Then I can do this work. Do, sergeant. I won't abuse your kindness." 'Well, go, then," was the reluctant answer "but get back quick. And only one drink, mind you."
Taintor seized his cap and fairly tottered through the adjoining room to the stairway, down which he plunged madly, and, heedless of the pelting rain, darted across the street to the gas lighted bar room, 'There's something worse than either whisky or ague back of this," muttered the veteran sergeant, "and I could swear toit" [lobe Continued Next Week.]

CHRIST IN LIMESTONE.
Forces of KaSxre Carre Oxe Faco of the Saviour Is a 3Iarvelon» Manner.'1 There is at present temporarily residing ia Albany a lady who has in her possession a wonderful freak of nature. It is merely^ piece of limestone, but carved most marvelously by the forces of nature into a face—the face of Christ in death.
To a reporter Mrs. Oliver T. Bacon, the lady referred to. told the story of her prized curiosity. Mrs. Bacon said "Overhanging the village of Oberammergau is a high mountain peak held in reverence by.the villagers, who consider it their guardian angeL After witnessing the -Passion Play of Sept 13 1830, I made the ascent of this mountain. 1 few flowers for pressing and two small bits of rock as souvenirs were taken near the summit, the latter remaining in my pocket two weeks. Later on, with a number of curios purchased, a box was packed and sMpped to Georgia, More than eight years after afire occurred in tho Young Men's library, where the cases wero stored. "In relabeling the curios injured by water this package containing two pebbles was uncovered. Although rough and unhewn, in a certain angle Ruben's •Conception of Christ,' in death, suddenly stood out, the drooping mouth more drooped, the eyes closed man eternal sorrow the brow plowed deeply in furrows of pain, the nostrils grown tMn through lack of breathy the whole face weary and sorrowful with the weight of the world's sin."
Mrs. Bacon is from Atlanta, Ga. After talking about the curio for some time she produced a velvet sack. Within the sack waa was a silver case, like a watch case, and in it was the simple yet wonderful piece of stone. Holding it at a certain angle the face full of suffering was easily seen. The freak is truly wonderful. As yet it has only been viewed by a few persons.
The Rev. S. F. Smith, D. D., author of "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," writes from Newton Center, Mass., Sept. 8, 1890 "The pebble, about half an inch in length, casually picked up by Mrs. Bacon on Mount Christus, near Oberammergau, is a most remarkable freak of fracture, seeming as if it wore the fruit of design, and the design of a skilled artist It requires no effort of imagination to see in it the head of the suffering, dying Christ, vivid in form and expression. The pebble is only a fragment of reddish limestone. The curiosity is that the fracture should exhibit so pathetic and exact a portrait. Mrs. Bacon sots a Mgh value on the gem and regards it almost with reverence. It is certainly remarkable that a little stone, picked up without selection from tho common road as a mere Bouvonir of thcyphico and di rectly following the performance of tho 'Passion Play' at Oberammergau, should present so touching a form."
Of it Bishop Doane said: "I have had the privilege of seeing tho pebble found by Mrs. Bacon on Mount Christus, near Oberamme/gau. It arrests tho attention and arouses the reverent amazement of anyone to whom it is shown. Dr. Smith's description of it is very accurate, and no one, I am sure, can look upon this curious natural product without great interest and wonder."
Assistant State Geologist Merrill says concerning the stone: "I have had the pleasure of seeing the pebble which Mrs O. T. Bacon has brought from Oberammergau, and consider it the most remarkable example of accidental resemblances which I have ever observed in so small a stone. The material is limestone, veined with chert, and the colors of the two substances contrast in such a manner as to delineate, with much exactness, a human face. No tool appears to have touched it The surface seems to be entirely duo to fracture and abrasion."—Albany Argus.
Readlns fhtni Duty.
Possibly, then, one should read from a sense of duty to others? Never! Never! Who that is a lover of good books has not been annoyed by the rabble who are toadies to good books? Who put them in conspicuous places in their conversation as they push the visiting cards of the upper one hundred into prominence on their tables? The insufferable, unwarranted conceit of these readers from duty! Why, a book lover is charmed into a blessed humility in the presence of his author, and mentions him in conversation as one wonld lift tho curtain of some precious shrine.
And then, though some few can talk showily as a result of tMs duty goaded reading, none can talk to edification. Usually the conversation of such readers amounts to tMs: "Have I rood the 'Inmost Revelations of Susy Thrilling?' Why, of course! Every one reads it, you know. Gladstone wrote a review of it, yon know. Let's see. It came oat in the Seavell Square library, didn't itf Number 9,189. Double number, and forty cents. Splendid, wasn't it?"—New York Ledger.
