CHAPTER RV.

in W it he a id N el

Capt. Lane, as has been said, allowed until the following Wednesday for the arrival of his regimental comrade, Mr. Noel. He was not a little (surprised, however, on the following Tuesday morning, aa ho sat at breakfast at the club, glancing over the morning paper, to como upon the following announcement:

DISTINGUISHED ARRIVAL.

Our reader* will be Interested In knowing that Capt, Gordon Noel, of the Eleventh United States cavalry, has been ordered on duty In the city, in charge of the cavalry recdeivoua on Sycamore street. Capt. Noel comes to us with a reputation that should win instant recognition and the hearttest welcome from the Queen City. For nearly fifteen years ho ha* served with his (tallant regiment, and baa been prominent in every one of the stirring campaign* against the hostile Indians of our western frontier. Ho has fought almost every savage tribe on the continent was disabled in tlio Modoc campaign in 73. commanded the mlrnnee guard of his regiment that reached the scene of the Custer massacre only Justin time to rescue tho remnant of the regiment from a similar fate, and for his services on that campaign was awarded tho compliment of ataff duty In the city of Washington. At bis own request, however, he was relieved from this, and rejoined his regiment when hostilities wero threatened in Arixona two years ago. And now, as a reward for gallant and distinguished conduct

the field, he is given the prized recruiting detail. Capt. Noel is the guest of bis cousin, the Hon. Amos Withers, at his palatial home on the ^Height* arnftmr fair rcadora will bo Interested in knowing that he Is a bachelor, and, despite his ^years of hardship, danger and privation, is a reBtarknbly fine looking man.

It (s understood that Lieut. Lane, the present recruiting officer, has been ordered to return to Ills regiment at once, although the time has not TP* expired.

In the expression on Capt. Lane's face 4s ho finished this item there was sornethmg half vexed, half comical.

A fcw hours afterwards, while he was Heated in his office, the orderly entered, and announced two gentlemen to see the captain. Laao turned to recgivo his visitors, but before he could advance across tho dark room the taller of the two entering the door made a spring towards him, clapped him cordially on tho back, and, with the utmost delight* shouted, "How aro you, old fellow? How well you're looking! Why, I haven't set eyes on you since wo wore out on the field hunting tip old Goronimo's trail! By Jove! but Fin glad to see you!" And Lane had no difficulty in recognizing at onco his regimental comrade Gordon Noel. "Let tue present you to my cousin, Mr. Withers." said Noel.'

And a stout, florid man, whom Lane had

often seen at the club, but to

whom ho had never hitherto been made known, bowed with much cordiality and extended his hand. "I didn't know," said he, "that you •wore a friend of Noel's, or I'd have como to see you before, and invited you to my house." "Friend!" exclaimed NCM\1. "Friendl Wliy, we've been partners and chums! "Why, we've been all over this continent together. Withers! Fred, do you remember the time we were up on the 6ioux campaign?—-the night I went over with tin**1 fellows to hunt up the trail to the Custer ground? Let's see, you wero acting adjutant then, if I recollect right Oh. yes you were back with the colonel."

Lano received bis guests with perfect courtesy, but without that overweening cordiality which distinguished the other's maimer, and then Mr. Withers entered into the conversation. Turning to Capt. T^ane, ho said: "I didn't know that yon had been on the Sioux campaign. Were you there, too?"

Lane replied quietly that he had been with his regiment through that year—in fact, had never been away from it for any length of time, except on this detail which had brought him to his old home. "Oh. yes: I remember having heard that this was your home. I am very sorry indeed that you did not make your•elf known to me before," said Mr. Withers. You know that I am awry busy man and don't get around much. Now TOU can come and dine with us this evenin* can you not? Mrs. Withem will certainly expect you, now that Nod is here." "I am very sorry indeed, Mr. Withers, but I am already engagwl." "You mast make early bids if you want to g^t this young ma«, Amos," put la Mr. Noel, affectionately patting Lane on the shoulder. *'It was just «o in ti» regiment He was always in demand. Well, when cam you come, Fred? What evening shall we say?" •*lt will depend, perhaps, on the day 1 tarn o**r the property to a. How •ooft do you wish to take hold."

"Oh, any tune. Any day. Whenever you're ready.** "ftn ready now, today, if you choose,' was Lane's prompt response. "I fancied you might be here by to-morrow." "Yes, you bet I didn't let the grass grow under my feet. The moment we got the telegraphic notification that the colonel's nomination was approved, I lit out for the railroad," said Noel, laughing gleefully. "And when will you come in and take over the property? There's a good deal of clothing to be counted. As for the funds, they, of course, are all in the bank." "Suit yourself about that, Freddy, old boy. I'm going down street with .Amos now. Howll to-morrow morning do?" "Very well indeed. You will find me here any time you come in." "All right. Now get out of your yellow stripes and come along down with us. The carriage is right here at the door. We're going ovef to see the works—Mr. Withers' foundries, yon know. Come." "Yes, come with us. I think I have heard it was your father wh)—-ah—who was in the same line of business at one time, Mr. Lane," said Mr. Withers. "Captain Lane, Amos!—Captain Lane! Great Scott! you mustn't 'mister' a man who has been through the years of service he has." "I beg pardon. I did not so understand you, Gordon, when we were talking last night with the—when we were having our smoke and chat after dinner. You will come with us, won't you, captain?" 1 "I wish I could, Mr. Withers, but my office hours have to beobt-sryed, and I cannot leave in the morair^. Thank you heartily none the less. Then you will be here to-morrow, Noel?" "To-morrow be it, Fred so au revoir, if you can't join us. I mustn't keep

Withers waiting—business man, yon know. God bless you. old fellow you don't begin to realize how delighted I am to see you! So long." "But about dining with us, Captain" "Oh, Lord, yes!" burst in Noel. "What evening, now? Td almost forgotten. Getting in among bricks and mortar addles my head. 'Tisn't like being out la the saddle with the mountain breezes all around you hey, Fred? Gadl I don't know whether I can stand this sort of thing, after our years of campaigning." And the lieutenant looked dubiously around upon the dark and dingy walls and windows. "Suppose we say Thursday eveninj, captain," suggested Mr. Withers "and ni have just a few friends to meet yon two army gentlemen." "I shall bo very happy, Mr. Withers." "Good! That's the talk, Fredl" heartily shouted the lieutenant, bringing his hand down with a resounding whack between Lane's shoulder blades. "Now we are off!, ©oine along, Amoe. And tho cousins disappeared down the dark st^ir^ay and popped into the carriage.* "Not a very demonstrative man, your friend the captain, but seems to be solid," w:n Mr. Withers' remark. "Oh, yes. He is about as solid as they make them," answered Noel, airily. "Lane has his faults, like moat men. It is only those who really know him, who have been associated with him for years, and whom he trusts and likes, that are his friends, Now, I'd go through fire and water for him, and ho would for me —but of course you wouldn't think it, to see his perfectly conventional society manner this morning. If I had left you down at tho foot of the stairs and had stolen tip on tiptoe and gone over and put my arms round his neck, you would probably have found us hugging each other and dancing about that room like a couple of grizzly bears when you came up, and the moment he caught sight of you ho would have blushed crimson and got behind his ice screen in a second. You just ought to have seen him the night we met each other with our detachments down near Guadalupe Canyon when we were hunting Geronima Some d—d fool of a ranchman had met him and said I was killed in the little affair we had with the Apache rear guard. Why, I was perfectly amazed at the emotion he showed. Ever sinoe then I've sworn by Fred Lane though, of course, he has trails that I wish he could get rid of.w "Good officer, isn't he?* "Ye—cs. Lane isn't half a bad soldier. Of course it remains to be seen what sort of captain he will maka. He has only just got his troop." •But I mean he—well—is a brave man has shown tip well in these Indian fights you were telling mi about** 'ITmP answered Nodi, with a quiet tittle chuckle.

Mr. Wither* listened to these tides of the doings aad sayings of the regiment with great interest. "Laae might have bwob^v a *k^y«u*."»id he to himself. "and no mm to our cosum unity wooM haT? known anything at all about the dangers hfci oc«tirad«s aadbe had en

countered in their frontier service. Itfs only when some fellow Hke Noel comes to us that we learn anything whatever of our army and its doings." S5

He took his cousin to the great mold* ing works of which he was the sole head and proprietor, and presented his foremen and his clerks to the captain, and told them of his career in the Indian wars on the frontier, and then upon 'change, and proudly introduced "my cousin, Capt. Nod," to the magnates of the Queen City and, though not one out of a dozen was in the least degree interested in "the captain" or cared a, grain of wheat what the amy had done or was doing on the frontier, almost every

hunAft cordially with the handsome offi

for Amos Withers was said to be a man whose check for a round million would be paid at sight, and anybody who was first cousin to that amount of "spot cash" was worth stopping to chat with, even in the midst of the liveliest tussle 'twixt bull and bear on the floor of the Chamber of Commerce. A tall, gray haired gentleman, with a slight stoop to bia shoulders and rather tired, anxious eyes, who listened nervously to the shouts from ."the pit" and scanned eagerly the little telegraphic slips thrust into his hand by scurrying messenger boys, was introduced as Mr. Vincent, and Mr. Vincent inquired if Noel knew. Lieut—or, rather, Capt—Lane. "Know Fred Lane? He is the best friend I have in the world," was the enthusiastic answer, "and one of the best men that ever lived." "Ah! I'm glad to know you—glad to know what you say. The captain is a constant visitor at our house, a greet* friend of ours in fact Ah! excuse me a' moment." And Mr. Vincent seized a certain well known broker by the arm and murmured some eager inquiries in his ear, to which the other listened with ill-disguised impatience.

Withers and, of course, "the captain," were the center of a cordial—not to say obsequious—group sd long as they remained upon the floor, and the secretary presently came to them with the compliments of the president and a card admitting Capt. Gordon Noel to the floor of the chamber at any time during business hours, which that officer most gracefully acknowledged, and then went on replying to the questions of his new friends about the strange regions through which he had scouted and fought, and the characteristics of the Indian tribes with whom he had been brought in contact. And by the time Cousin Amos declared they must go up to the club for luncheon everybody was much impress*1 by tlio hearty, jovial manner of the dashing cavalryman, and there were repeated hand shakes, promises to call, and prophecies of a delightful sojourn in their midst as he took his leave. "Has Capt Lane come in yet to lunch?' inquired Mr. Withers of the liveried attendant at "The Queen City," as his cousin inscribed his name and regiment in the visitors' book, aa introduced by "k. W.," in ponderous strokes of the pen. "No, sis. It's considerably past the time the guntleman generally comes. 1 don't think he'll be in today* sir." "Then we won't wait, Gordon. Wr/u order for two. What wine do *l like?"

Over at the dingy recruiting office Capt Lane had forgotten about luncheon. Thera were evidences of careless-nge^-th the part of the clerk who had made out his great batch of papers, and the further he looked the more he found. The orderly had been sent for Taintor, and had returned with the information that he was not at his desk. Sergt Burns, when called upon to explain how it happened that he allowed him to slip away, promptly replied that it was half-post 11 when he came out of the captain's office and said that the captain would want him all the afternoon, so he had best go and get his dinner now. Half-past 12 came, and he did not return. The sergeant went after him, and came back in fifteen minutes with a worried look about his face to say that Taintor had not been to dinner at all, and that the door of the little room he occupied was locked. He had not been in the house since 8 that morning. "I'm afraid, sir, he's drinkm' again," said Burns "but he's so sly about it I never can 'ell until he is far gone." "You go out yourself, and send two of the men, and make inquiries at all his customary haunts," ordered Lane. "I will stay here and go through all these papers. None are right so far. He never failed me before and I do not understand it at alL"

But when night came Taintor was still missing—had not been seen nor heard of—and Capt Lane had written a hurried note to the lady of his love to say that a strange and most rntoward case of desertion nad just occurred which necessitated his spending eome time with the chief of police at once. He begged her to make his excuses to her good mother for his inability to come to dinner. Later in the evening he hoped to see her. "P. S.—Gordon Noel, who is to relieve me, has arrived. I have only three or four days more." "Gordon Noel!" said Miss Vincent, pensively. "Where have I heard of Gka dooNodT ____

CHAPTER V.

And new a matter has to be recorded which will go far to convince many of our readers that Opt Lane waa even more of an old fashioned prig than he has hitherto appeared to be. After leaving the Vincents' late on the previous day he had come to his rooms, and sat time for fully two hours in the endeavor to compose a brief, manly fetter addressed to Vincent pere. It was nothing mote near less than the old styieof addressing a gentleman of famOy *&d requesting permission to pay his addresses to his daughter Mabel. A very difficult task was the composftioa of fids letter for otar frontier soldier. Hew ately in earnest, however time short, after aeveral attempts the

"I am almost glad to hear that she is not the heiress people said she toag." "Ihave been everywhere! could think of, sir," said the sergeant, "and both the men have been around his customary haunts last night and this morning making inquiries, but all to no purpose. The detectives came and burst into his trunk, and there was nothing in it worth having. He had been taking away his clothing, etc., from time to time in small packages and secreting them we don't know where. One thing I heard, sir, that I never knew before, and that was that after he had gone to bed at night he would frequently steal out of his room and go away and never reappear until breakfast time in the morning. And now will the lieutenant—the captain—pardon me for asking the question, are the check books all right, sir?' "What put that idea into your head?" asked Lane. "Well, sir, some of the men tell me that he was always writing at his desk, and once Strauss said that he had picked up a scrap of paper that he hadn't completely destroyed, and the handwriting on it didn't look like Taintor's at all he Baid it more resembled that of the captain, and it made me suspicious. I never heard this until late last night."

A sudden thought occurred to Lane. Taking out his check book, he carefully counted the checks remaining and compared them with the number of stubs, and found, to his surprise and much to his dismay, that at least five or six checks were missing. "Send for a cab at once. I must go down to the bank. You stay here, and when Lieut. Noel comes give him my compliments and ask him to sit down and wait awhile and read the morning paper. Til be back in a very short time."

Following the custom established by his predecessor, Capt. Lane had always kept the recruiting funds in the First Nation bank. His own private funds he preferred to keep in an entirely different establishment—the Merchants' Exchange.

The cab whirled him rapidly to the building indicated, and, althoughlacked half an hour o£ J&e time of opening, he made his way into the office and -paying teller "Will you kindly tell me if any checks on the recruiting fund have lately been presented for payment?" he eagerly asked,

The captain was referred to the bookkeeper, and that official called him within the railing. "No less than four checks were brought here yesterday for payment, and they came between half past 2 and 8 o'clock in the afternoon," was the bookkeeper's report "There seemed to us something wrong in tho simultaneous presentation of the four, and I was on the point of ad dressing a note to you this morning to ask you to come down to the bank. Everything about it appears in proper shape and form, except that three of the checks have been indorsed payable to vour clerk, William Taintor, who came in person and drew the money." "Let me see the checks, if you please, said the captain.

They were speedily produced. Lane took them to the window and closely examined them. "I could not tell them," he said, "from my own handwriting and yet those three checks are forgeries. I believe that the indorsements on the back are equally forgeries. Now, can I take these with me to the office of the chief of police, or do you desire that the detectives should be sent here? Taintor deserted last night, and all traces have been lost What is the amount that he has drawn?" "One check, payable to the order of William Huyden for board furnished to the recruiting party, is to the amount of $15.60. The second, payable to James Freeman, and indorsed by him to William Taintor, as was the first, is for the rent of the building occupied by the recruiting rendezvous, precisely similar in form and amount to the previous checks, for the sum of |60. The third check is payable to William Taintor himself, marked 'for extra duty pay as clerk at the recruiting office for the past six months.' The fourth is made payable to the order of Sergt. James Burns, 'extra duty pay as non-commissioned officer in charge of the party for the six months beginning Jan. 1 and ending June 30.'"

This check, too, had been indorsed payable to the order of William Taintor.

Half an hour afterwards the captain was back in his office, and there, true to his appointment, was Lieutenant Noel." "I have had a strange and unpleasant experience, Noel," said Lane. Most of my papers have been faultily made out My clerk deserted last night and has turned out to be a most expert forger. He has stolen half a dozen checks from my book, made them out to the order of various parties, forged the indorsements himself, got the money yesterday afternoon, and cleared out uo one knows where." "Great Scott old man! that is hard luck! How much has he let you in for?" asked Noel, in the slang of the period. "Only a hundred and sixty dollars, fortunately and I have made that good this morning—placed my own check to the credit of the recruiting fund in the First National bank, so that in turning over the funds to you there will be no loss. We have to make new papers for the clothtng account but as quickly as possible I will have them ready for your signature and mine." "There is no hurry whatever, old fellow," answered Noel, cheerily. "I've come back from the regiment a little short of money, and I want to have a nest egg in the bank to begin with. It's a good thing to have a fat cousin, isn't it? He has always been very liberal and kind to me, and, luckily, I've oidy drawn on him twice. So Til hurry along."

Five minutes after Noel left, a district messenger entered with a note for Capt. Lane. It was addressed to him in the handwriting of Mr. Vincent He opened it with a trembling hand. It contained merely these words: "I am obliged to leave for New York this afternoon. Can you come to my office at 1 o'clock? We can then talk without interruption and I much desire to see you. "T. L. V."

As the big bell on the city hall had struck one, Capt. Lane appeared at the office of Vincent, Clark & Co., and was shown without delay into the private room of the senior partner. Mr Vin-
