In tho three (lays that followed tho transfer of funds and property at the recruiting rendezvous took place, and Mr. Noel stepped in, vice Lane, relieved and ordered to join his regiment. The former was having a delightful time. A guest of the wealthy Witheracs could not long lie a Htranger within their gates to tho Queen citizens, and every afternoon and evening fount! him enjoying hospitalities* of tho most eor(lii4.(:j^irttC.Uir.

Ho was ready for pool, billiards, Imwling or a drink the moment he got within the stately doorway: and, as he sang, whistled, laughed, chut tod and cracked innumerable jokes during the various games, was a capital mimic, and could personate Pat,

Hans or Crtipnud with tolling effect, his presence was pronounced by every one as better than ii solid week of sunshine —something the Queen City rarely, if ever, experienced.

Poor Luue, on the contrary, was nearly worrying his heart out. Ho had gone to the Vincents' the very ovening on which he had seen the father of tho family !T for New York, and had nerved himself to put his fortune to tho test -to tell her of his det.p and dovoted love and to ask her to liH wife.

Lane rang the door Doll that night and felt once more that his heart was Inciting even as it did at 1 o'clock when he was ushered into the awful pr\'M :co of her father. "Miss Vincent has not left her room today, and i- not we'! enough to com© down Uv-nigM. sir."* said the servant who came to t»i« dxr» "and Mr*.

1 arrangement with the Anicri-

bound car. :iad as soon far down town %t his favorite florist's. "Give me a big box of cut flowers— the handsomest yoa have,** he said and while they were being prepared he wrote few lines on a card, tore it up, tried jgairi on another, and similarly reduced that to fragments, and finally, though far from content, limited the expression of his emotions to the simple words: "Do get well by Saturday at latest. 1 cannot go without seeing you. F. L." "Where shall we send them, sir?" asked the florist, as he came forward with the box in his band. "Never mind Pll take it myself," waa the answer, as the captain popped in tliie little missive.

And when he got back to the house the light was still burning in the window :in the second story, and the doctor had just left, said the sympathetic Abigail, and had said it was nothing serio^ or alarming Miss Mabel would have to keep quiet a day or two that was all.

But what hard luck for poor Lane, when the days of his stay were so very few! All Thursday morning was spent at the rendezvous, counting over property and comparing papers with Noel. Then, while that gentleman went to the club for luncheon the captain hastened t-o the Vincents* door to renew inquirios, and was measurably comforted by the news that Miss Mabel was much better, though still confined to her room. Would he not come in? Mrs. Vincent was out, but she thought—did that most intelligent young woman, Mary Ann— tliat perhaps there was a message for him. Like Mr. Toots, poor Lane, in his anxiety to put no one to any trouble, came within an ace of stammering: "It's of no consequence," but checked himBelf in time, and stepped into the bright parlor in which he had spent so many delicious hours listening to her soft, rich voice as she sang, or as she chatted blithely with Mm and her frequent guasta. It was some time before Mary Ann returned. Evidently, there was a message, for tho girl's face was dimpled with smiles as she handed him a little note. "Miss Mabel says please excuse pencil, sir she had to write lying down. Miss Hoi ton has just gone away, after spending most of the morning."

Excuse pencil! Lane could hardly wait to read the precious lines. How he longed to give tho girl a five dollar "bill! But this wasn't England, and he did not know how retired, leaving the front door open for his exit, and the sweet June sunshme and tho soft warm breath of early summer flowing in through tho broad vestibule. "How good you ore to inel" she wrote. "The flowers were—and are still—exquisite. I shall bo. down stairs a little while to-morrow afternoon, if the doctor is good to mo as you are. Then 1 can thank you, can I not? M. L. V."

Tho hours dragged until Friday afternoon eaino. Ho had to go to tho Witherses to dinner on Thursday evening, and a dreary, ostentations, ponderous feast it was. Noel, in his full dross uniform, was tho hero of the hour. He greeted Lane a trifle nervously. **1 meant to have telephoned and begged you to bear mo out, old man," said he, "but this thing was sprung on me after I got home. Cousin Mattie simply ordered me to appear in my war paint, and I had to do it. You are to go in to dinner with her by tho way and 1 wish you were en grand* ten tie instead of civilian spike tail. Here's Amos."

And Amos marched him around to one guest after another—"self made men, sir"—heavy manufacturers and money makers, with their overdressed wives. Lane strove hard to be entertaining to his hostess, but that lady's mind was totally engrossed In the progress of the feast and dread of possible catastrophe to stylo or service. Her eyes glanced nervously from her hus band to the butler and his assistants, and her Hps perpetually framed inaudible instructions or warnings, and so it happened that the captain was enabled to chat a good deal with a slight, dark eyed and decidedly intelligent girl who sat to his right, and who was totally ignored by tho young cob who took her in—the eldest son of the house of Withers, a callow youth of 30. "You did not hoar my name, I know, she had said to him. "I am Miss Marshall, a very distant connection of Mi*. Withers', the teacher of her younger children, and the merest kind of an accident at this table. Miss Faulkner was compelled to send her excuses at the last moment, and so 1 was detailed—isn't that yxur soldier expressBoo?—to fill the gap." "And where did you learn oar army expn-^m*. may ask?" said Lane smilingly. "I had a coasSa in tho artiHery aoxne years ago, and vis,i list his wife wheal ibey were sfatloaed at the old barracks across th- nv?r.' There's no one there Row, I bc-!iere.

farther, than the narrator. Flattered by the evident interest shown by those about hi™, and noting that conversation was *wi«ir at Lane's end of the table, the lieutenant soon lost himself in tho enthusiasm of his own descriptions, and was only suddenly recalled to earth by noting that now the whole table had ceased its dinner chat, and that, with the possible exception of th£ hostess, who was telegraphing signals to the butler, every man and woman present was looking at him and listening. The color leaped to his face, and he turned towards Lane with a nervous laugh. "I'd no idea 1 was monopolizing the talk," he said- "Fred, old man, wasn't it troop that tried to get across the range from your command to ours when we neared the Guadalupe? Amos and Mr. Hawks had been asking me about tiie chase after Geronimo." "Yes. it was troop—Capt Greene's," answered Lane. "You know that Capt. Lane and 1 are of the same regiment, and, though not actually together in the chase, we were in the same campaign." said Noel, apologetically, and then, quickly changing the subject: "By the way, Mr. Hawks, is Harry Hawks, of the artillery, a relative of yours?* "A nephew, captain—my brother Henry's son. Did you know him?" "Know him? Why. he is one of the warmest friends I have in the whole army—outside of my own regiment, that is. We were constantly together one winter when I was on staff duty in Washington, and whenever he could get leave to run up from the barracks he made my quarters his heme. If you ever write to him just as. hizn if he knows Gorden Noel?" "Do you know, Capt. Lane, that 1 have found your comrade captain a very interesting man?' observed Miss Marshall: and her eyes turned upon her next door neighbor in calm but keen scrutiny. "Noel is very entertaining," was the reply and the dark gray eyes looked unflinchingly into the challenge of the dark brown. "Yes, 1 have listened to his tales of the frontier at breakfast, dinner and daring the evening hours, since Sunday last. They are full of vivacity and variety." "One sees a good deal of strange country and many strange people in^the course of ten or a dozen years' service in the cavalry." "And must needs have a good memory to bo able to tell of it all—especially when one recounts the same incident more than once." And Miss Marshall's Upswero twitching at the corners in a manner suggestive of mischief and merriment combined.

Lane "paused for a reply." Here was evidently a most observant young woman. "There! 1 did not mean to tax your loyalty to a regimental comrade, captain so you need not answer. Capt. Noel interests and entertains me principally because of his intense individuality and his entire conviction that he carries his listeners with him. 'Age canj^yqffier £Ee^slioul3^otuWqo3te so majKTva^ riety in his descriptions of a single

Went.

This is the fourth time I have heard him tell of the night ride from Carrizo's ranch to Canyon Diablo." "You have the advantage of mo. Miss Marshall," answered Lane, his eyes twinkling with appreciation of her demure but droll exposure of Noel's weak point. "It is the first time I ever heard his version of \t." "It is the last time he will mention it in your presence, if he saw the expression in your face, Capt Lane." "Do those introspective eyes of yours look clear through and see out of the back of your head, Miss Marshall? Your face was turned towards him, You stopped short in telling me of your cousin in the artillery and yonr visit to the barracks, and bade me listen to something I did not care half as much to hear as your own impressions of garrison life. Never mind the quadruplex account of the night ride. Tell me what you thought of the army." "Well, of course, the first thing a girl wants to know is what the shoulder straps mean and I learned the very first day that the blank strap meant a second lieutenant, a single silver bar a first lieutenant and two bars a captain that is. in the artillery. Now, why this provoking distinction in the cavalry? Here's a captain with only one bar, a captain whose letters from the war department come addressed to Lieut. Gordon Noel!" "Noel never speaks of himself as captian, I'm sure," said Lane. "Neither do you and for a year past, ever since I have known yoa by sight and here a quick blush mounted to her temples—"you occasionally came to our church, you know," she hastened to ex plain—"you have been referred to as Lieut. Lane or Mr. Lane but we know you area captain now, for we saw the promotion recorded in the Washington despatches a fortnight ago. What was the date of Capt Noel's elevation to that grade? I confess 1 took him fen- your Junior in the service and in years too." "Yes, Nod holds well to his youth," answered Lane, smilingly. "And about the captaincy?* "Weil, be Is so very near it, and it is so apt to come any day, that perhaps he thinks it Just as well to let people get accustomed to railing Mm that Then he wont have to break them al] in when the commission does come." "Then fee ia ytw junior, of couraeT "Only by a file or so.

That night, as the guests were dispersing, Lane did what most of them entirely emitted he went over to the piano and bade Miss Marshall good night. "Capt, Lane," she said, "I beg yonr pardon if I have been too inquisitive and too critical, as I know I have been but you have taught me that you know how to guard a comrade's failings from the world. Will you not forgive a woman's weakness?" "There is nothing to forgivs, Miss M»rch*ii. I hope sincerely that we may meet^again before I go back to the regiment,"

And later, as Lane was walking home-

CHAPTER VH

Noel was late in reaching the rendez­

vous. It was after 10 when he appeared, explaining that Mrs. Withers was far from well, and therefore Cousin Amos would not leavfl the house until the dootor had seen her and made his report. Lane received his explanation somewhat coldly and suggested that they go right to work with their papers, as he had important engagements. It was high noon when they finished the matters in hand, and then the captain hastened to the club and was handed a telegram with the infprmation that it had only just come. It was evidently expected. Lane quickly read it and carefully stowed it away in an inside pocket. In another moment he was speeding down town, and by half past 12 was closeted with the junior partner of the tottering house of Vincent, Clark & Co. Mr. Clark was pale and nervous. Every click of the "ticker" seemed to make him start. A clerk stood at the instrument watching the rapidly dotted quotations.

Her fair head pillowed on a *11kcn cushion, rccliiura the lady of his heart "Have you heard from Mr. Vincent?" was the first question, and without a word a telegram was handed to him. It was in cipher, as he saw at once, and Clark supplied the transcription: "Rossiter refuses. Watch market closely. See Warden instant touches half. Break predicted here." "Twenty minutes more!" groaned Clark, as he buried his face in his hands. "Twenty minutes more cf this awful suspense?" "What was the last report?" asked Lane in a low voice. "Ninety-eight and a quarter. My God! Think of it! Three-quarters of a cent between us and beggary! I could bear it but not Vinceht: 'twould kill him. Even his home#is mortgaged."

There came a quick, sharp tap at the glazed door the clerk's head was thrust

"Threeneighths, sir." -'It's time to move, then," said Lane. "I cannot follow you to the floor—1 have no ticket but I will be awaiting your call at the Merchants Exchange. Mr. Vincent has told you— Better have It in treasury notes—one honored eachhad you not?" "III see Warden at once. D—n him! he would sell us out with no more compunctions than he would shoot a hawk." "You infer that Mr. Vincent haajj&d

no cr.ccess in raising money in New Yon:/' asked Lane, as they hurried from the office. "Not an atom! He made old Rossiter what he is—hauled him out of the depths, set him on his feet, took him in here with him for ten years, sent him east with a fortune that he has trebled since in Wall street, and now, by heaven the cold blooded brute will not lend lias* pitiful twenty thousand-"

At the bank Lane found an unusual number of men, and there was an air of suppressed excitement Telegraph boys would rush in every now and then with dispatches for various parties, and these were eagerly opened and read. Scraps of

ward from a final psep at the dim light low. earnest conversation reached him, as in a certain window, he had time to think how intolerable that dinner would have seemed had it not been for the accident which placed that dark eyed governess by his side.

rjuwi was awake with the sun on Friday morning, and lay for a few moments listening to the twittering of the sparrows about his window sill3, and watching the slanting, rosy red shafts of light that streamed through the intervals in the Venetian blinds. "Does it augur bright fortune? Does it mean victory? Is it like the 'sun of Austerlitz?1" were the questions that crowded through his brain. Today—today she was to "be down for a little while in the afternoon,'' and then she "hoped to be able to thank him_ Could she?" Ten thousand times over and over again she could, if she would but whisper one littlo word—Yes —in answer to his eager question. It lack id hours yet until th\i longed for afternoon could come. It was not 5 o'clock: but more sleep was out of the question, and lying there in bed intolerable. Much to the surprise of his darky vaiet, Lane had had his bath, dressed and disappeared by the time the former came to rouse him.

he stood a silent watcher. "They cannot stand it another day." "They've been raining wheat on them from every corner of the north and west No gang can stand under it." "It's bound to break," etc. To an official of the bank who knew him well he showed the telegram he had received at the club, and the gentleman looked up in surprise. "Do you want this now, captain? Surely you are not" "No, Fru not most emphatically." replied Lane, with a quiet laugh. "Yet 1 may have sudden use for that sum. 1 telegraphed to my agents at Cheyenne yesterday. You, perhaps, ought to wire at once and verify it" "Those are our bank rule®, and I presume it will be done: though of course we know" "Never mind, 1 much prefer you should, and at once." And, leaving the m:in of business to attend to the necessary formality, Lane strolled to a window and looked down the crowded street towards the massive building in which the desperate grapple 'twixt bull and bear was at its height. The day was hot men rushed by, mopping their fevered brows a throng of people had gathered near the broad entrance to the chamber, and all its windows were lowered to secure free and fresh currents of air. Lane fancied he could hear the shouts of the combatants in the pit even above the ceaseless roar and rattle of wheels upon the stone pavement Little by little the minute hand was stealing to the vertical, and still no sign from Clark. "Has she touched a half yet?" he heard one man eagerly ask another as they dived into the broker's office underneath. "Not yet: but I'm betting-she does in side of five minutes and reaches ninet nine first thing to-morrow."

At last boom went the great bell—a single, solemn stroke. There was a rush of men for the street, a general scurry towards the great board of trade building, a rapidly increasing crowd along the curbstones as the members came pouring out, and brokers and their customers hurried away towards numberless little offices all over the neighborhood. Dozens of them passed along under his post of observation, some flushed, some doathly pale, and finally Clark himseH
