CHAPTER IIL

Three days later, jast at snndowii, the loungers at Sancho's were treated to a sensation. Up from the gontb, the old Tucson trail, came, dusty, travel stained and weary, half a troop of cavalry, escorting apparently some pereonage of distinction, for he was an object of the utmost care and attention on the part of the lieutenant commanding and every man in tbo detachment. As the oavalcade approached the dun colored walls of the corral and without a word or sign to the knot of curious spectators gathered at the barroom door filed away to the spot where wandering commands of horse were accustomed to bivouac for tbo night (tentswould have been superfluous in that dry, dewless atmosphere) tbo women, whispering together behind their screened window place, stared the harder at sight of tbe leaders. One was Lieutenant Blake—no mistaking him— the longest legged man in Arizona. Another was big Sergeant Feeney, a veter-, an who bad seen better days and dntieB, I but served his flag in the deserts of the Gila as sturdily as ever ho fought along the Shenandoah throe years before.

Between theso two, dapper, slender, natty, with his hat «et jauntily on one side and his mustacbo and imperial twirled to the proportions of toothpioks, rode a third cavalier whom everyone recognized instantly as tbo fugitive of Gamp Cooke, the urgently sought Cap-j tain NoviiiH, and, though Nevins' arms and legs were uutrammelod by shackles of any kind, it was plain to see that he was a helpless prisoner. He had parted with his belt and revolver. His spurs were ravished from bis heels, and his bridle rein, cut in two, was shared between Hlako and his faithful sorgeant.

Behind theso threo rode another eet. Sandwiched between two troopers was a man whom Sancho's people well remembered as Novins' clerk and assistant, despito tbe fact that a bushy beard now covered tbo faco that was smooth shaved in the halcyon days of the supply camp. Then came somo 80 horsemeu in long, straggling column of twos, while straight front 'the flank to tbe gate of the corral, silent and even somber, rode the engineer, Lieutenant Loring. To him Sancbo whipped off his silver laced sombrero and bowed, while two jaded looking vaquoros, after one long yet furtive stare, glanced quickly at each other and sidled away to the nearest aperture in the wall of tbe ranch, which happened to bo tho dining room door.

Loring mechanically touched his hat brim in recognition of tho ranebkeeper's obeisance, but there was no liking in his eye. Attbegato ho slowly, somewhat stiOly, dismounted, for it was evident ho had ridden long and far. The roan with hanging head tripped eagerly yet wearily to his accustomed stall, and a swarthy Mexican unloosed at once tho eincha and removed tho horsehair bridle. Thus Sancho and the cngiueei were left by themselves, thoi gb iuquis itive ranch folk sauntered to tbe gateway and peered after them into thv corral. Over at the little clump of wil lows Blake's men were throwing their carbines across their shoulders and di*mounting as they reached theoldfaiuiliarspot. and Loring cast one look thitber before he spoke.

Who were tho two men who followed me?" he calmly asked, and bis eyes,

1

though red rimmed and iutlatued by tbe dust of the desert, looked straight. Into the dark face of tho aggrieved Satu'ho. "Surely I know not, senor tenieute." He had dropped the "eapitau" as too tran.»parent flattery. "Don't lie, Saticho. There's ten more dollars, "and Loting tossed an eagleinto the ready palm. "That's $30, aud I shall want that horse again iu tbe morning." "Tomorrow, senor! Why. be will not be lit to go."

But to this observation Mr. Loring made no reply. Straight from Sancho's Bide he walked down the corral, halt(h! behind two rangy, hard looking •fowls that showed till the effects of recent severe usage, aud these he studied coolly and thoroughly a fe*v minutes, while, peering from two narnnv slits in the ranch wall between the windows, two sun tanned frontiersmen as closely studied hiui. With these laUer pwping from the shaded window w*»«"tho wife of mv brother," exchangiuc with them comments iu low, guarded In tbe adjoining room, bodroMu, a girl of perhaps 16. slender, graceful and dark eyed, peepod in the opposite direction over toward tbe willows where Blake's men were now ansaddling. whence presently, with giant stride*, oame Blake himself, sulking over tbe sand.

Sancbo, despite bis anxious scrutiny of Loring's silent movements, saw the I coming officer and prepared bis coonlenance for smiles. But, with a face act and forbidding. Blake went sternly by, taking no notice of tbe proprietor, and made directly for tbe little frroup now muttering at 5be dining room door. Tb« loungers, some of wbotn bad derortad tbe supper table for a sight of the captire* and tbe cavalcade, tidied right and l?ft as though to avoid hi* eye*, for into each face, moit of them hangdog

visages, be gazed sharply, as though fn search of some one, yet never faltered in his stride. Back from her barred window shrank tbe young girl as the tall soldier came within a dozen paces. To one side or another, smoke inhaling and striving to look unconcerned, edged tbe swarthy constituents of the group, and with never a word to one of them, straight through their midst and the doorway beyond, went Blake, catching the three peepers, "the wife of my brother" and tbe brace of palpable cutthroats at their loopholes. So nnexpected was the move that it had not even occurred to one of the creatures at tbe door to mutter a word of warning. So engrossed were the three in their scrntiny that Blake's entrance was nnheard.

True, he had discarded boots and spurs, and his feet were incased in soft Apache moccasins. The floor, too, was earthen, but he made no effort at stealth, and in the gloom and shadow of the low roofed room it was for a moment difficult to distinguish tbe human fignres against the opposite wall. It was his ear that first gave warning, for low, yet distinct, he heard the words: "If he'd taken any horse but that roan, or knew less abont riding, we'd 'a' caught him 20 miles out, and he'd never 'a' caught Nevins. Dash dash the whole dashed blue bellied outfit and be dash dash dashed to their quadruple dashed souls I" and the concentrated spite and hatred of the speaker hissed in every syllable. 'Tain't a question of what we could not do. What can wo do? He's got the money, and plenty of it, cached somewhere about the old camp, and $500 of it's mine. That's what I want. I don't care a d—n what they do with him so long as they don't send him to prison, where wo can't nail him. That's what that bloody court will do, though, and I know it." "How d'you know," fieroely demanded tho other, 'uless yon've been in the army, which you swear you haven't? Where'd you desert from? Oome, own up now, "aud, turning for an instant from his peephole, the speaker became suddenly aware of the silent form of Lieutenant Blake. "None of your dashed business!" began the other, when a harsh "Shut up I" brought him around in ainaze, and he, too, confronted the dark figure standing like a signpost between tbera and tbe violet light beyond the open doorway. Instinctively the hands of both men sought their pistol butts, but Blake

made never a move. The woman, looking around for tbe cause of tbe sndden sileuce, caught sight of the statuesque intruder nnd, with a low jry, threw her shawl over her head and, bonding almost double, with outstretched, groping hands, senrried to where tbe mission made blanket hung at tbe doorway of tbe bedroom aud darted through the aperture like a rabbit to its form, the folds of the heavy wool falling behind her.

And still the tall lieutenant neither spoke nor moved. His revolver bnng at his right hip, his bunting knife slept in its sbeatb, but bis bands sat jauntily on his thighs. The stern, set look of his clear cnt face bad given place to something liko a grin of amusement. First at one, then at tbe otber, of tbe two bewildered worthies he gased, looking each deliberately from bead to foot as they hovered there, both irresolute and disconcerted, one of them visibly trembling.

There was a doorway leading into the room in which was set tbe table for stage passengers of tbe better class, cers and tbe few ladies who bad ventured to follow their lords into faraway Arieona, or tbe gente fine, which included smasons whose money could pay their way pretty much anywhere and was made pretty much anyhow. Bat that room was empty, and tbe one be* yond it, tbe bar, had only one or two occupants, too far away to see what was going on.

There were a doorway and a swinging screen of dirty oanvas just beyond the loophole lately occupied by "tbe wife of my brother," a doorway that gave on the corral, and to each of these each silent "tough" bad given a quick,furtive glanoe, hat not a step was taken. How long tbe strain of the situation might bare lasted there is no saying. It was broken by tbe sodden lifting of that

rndm

dirty canvas aoneen, as sndden and perceptible a start on the part of each of tbe confronted men and tbe quick entrance of tbe engineer. For another second or two no word was spoken. Loring's eyes were evidently nnable at tbe instant to penetrate tbe gloom. Then he recognized Blake, then gradually tbe two men at tbe wall, and then at last Blake spoke. "There are yonr followers, Loring."

A moment's careful scrutiny then a nod of assent was Loring's answer. "Now, then, you two," said Blake— "I've suspected you before. ^Tow I more than suspect you. Tou, me long villain, I warn never to come nosing abont our camp again, and yon, tbe shorter, I'll trouble to oome into camp forthwith. No, don't draw that pistol unless you want a dozen bullets through you. Half a troop is right here at my back. Your soldier name was Higgins, and yon're a deserter from Cram's battery, New Orleans."

For a moment there was a silence broken only by tbe hard breathing of the two cornered men then came a flash, a sharp report a piercing scream as the litbe Mexican girl sprang forth from behind tbe blanket and hurled herself on Blake, a pantherlike leap of the accused man under oover of the flash and smoke, a thwack like the sound of tbe bat when it meets a new baseball full in tbe middle, and Loring'sfist had landed full on Higgins' jowl and sent him like a log to tbe floor.

CHAPTER IV.

Tbe court martial that met at Camp Cooke in compliance with orders from division headquarters at Frisco had three weeks later practically finished the case of Brevet Captain Nevins, and that debonair person, who had appeared before it on the first day suave, laughing and almost insolently defiant, had wilted visibly as day after day the judge advocate unfolded the mass of evidence against him.

All that Nevins thought to be tried for was a charge of misappropriation of public funds aud property, and it was his purpose to plead in bar of trial that he had offered to make complete restitution, to replace every missing item and doubly replace if need be every dollar. This indeed he bad lost no time in doing the moment he was handed over to tbe post commander two days after the exciting episode at Sancbo'e, but he coupled with the offer a condition that all proceedings against him should be dropped, and the veteran major commanding, while expressing entire willingness to receipt for any funds tho accused might offer, would promise nothing whatever in return.

That Nevins should be oharged with desertion and breach of arrest tho aooused officer regarded as of small importance. He was merely going to Tucson as fast as he could to get from business assooiates. as he termed them, the money deposited with them and owed to him, and this must also excuse his having borrowed the major's best horse.

His friends in congress would square all that for him, even if the court should prove obdurate. That grave charges should have followed him from a former sphere of operations that his record, while retained in the volunteer service until the spring of 1866 and assigned to some mysterious bureau functions iu the south, should have beeu ventilated and made part and parcel of tbo charges that it should be shown that he as a newly commissioned officer of the army had made the journey from New Orleans to the isthmus and thence to San Francisco with men whom he knew to be deserters from commands stationed in tbo Crescent City that he should have gambled with them and associated with them and brought one of them all tbe way with him to Yuma aud concealed from the military authorities his knowledge of their crime that it should be proved that be was a professional "card sharp," expert manipulator aud blackleg be never bad contemplated as even possible, and yet, with calm and relentless deliberation, "that cold blooded, merciless mnrtipet of a West Pointer," as he referred to tbe judge advocate at an early stago in tbe proceedings, bad laid proof after proof before tbe court aud left tbe case of the defense at tbe last without a leg to stand on.

And then Nevins dropped the debonair and donued tbeabjeot, for tbe one friend or adviser left to him in tbe crowded camp, an officer who said he always took the side of the under dog in a fight, bad told him that iu its present temper that court, with old Turnbull as one of its leaders, would surely sentence him to a term of years at Alcatraz, as well as to dismissal from tbe military service of tbe United States. Dismissal be expected, but cared little for that. He had money and valuables more than enough to begin life on anywhere, and tbe pickings of his aconstomed trade were all too scant in Arizona. He needed a broader field and a crowding population for tbe proper exercise of bis talents, and the uniform of the offioer, after all, had not proved to be so potent in lulling tbe suspicions of prospective victims as be bad expected it might be.

But Alcatraz, a rock bound prison, a convict's garb, bard labor on soft diet— that was indeed appalling. "That man Loring has made yon out an innate blackguard, Nevins. You've got to plead for mercy," said his ehrewd adviser, and Nevins saw tbe point and pleaded. He laid before tbe court letters from officer? of rank speaking gratefully of bis aid daring tbe prevalence of yellow fever in tbe gulf states. He begged tbe court to wait until be oould show them tbe affidavits of many statesmen and soldier?, whom it would take months to bear from by mail, and there was then no telegraph in Arizona. He begged for time, for pity, and tbe court was moved and wrote to Drum barracks for instructions and adjourned until tbe answer came, which it did by swift stages and special courier within a week. "Advices from Washington say that the congressional backers of the accused have declared themselves well rid

of him and suggest the extreme penalty of the law." And this being the advice of. Washington, was simply human nature that tbe court should experience a revulsion of feeling and consider itself bound to see that tbe poor fellow was not made to suffer martyrdom. .Most of tbe members were men from tbe volunteers or from the ranks. West Pointers were tbe exception, not the rule, in tbe line of tbe army for years after the war. Most of the court bad been the recipients of Nevins' exuberant hospitality atone time or other. He bad objected to the few who had lost heavily to him at cards, and the objection bad been sustained, and when tbe last day of tbe long session arrived and the sad eyed, pale faced, scrupulously groomed and dressed accused arose before tbe dignified array and the little line of curious spectators to make his last plea a silence, not unmixed with a certain sympathy, fell upon all hearers, as in low voice and faltering accents the friendless fellow began his story. Partly from manuscript, whioh he seemed to find hard reading, but mainly as an extemporaneous effort, his remarks were substantially as follows: "I've come to make a olean breast of it, gentlemen. I'm not fit to wear your uniform. I never was. I never wanted to. It was practically forced upon me by men who ought to have known better, who did know better, but who did not care so long as they got me out of tbe way. My father as much as owned more than one congressman in York state. The Hon. Mr. Cadger of tbe military committee couldn't have been renominated if it hadn't been for him, and he didn't want me round home any more. He got me kept on bureau work long after all but a few volunteers were mustered out, and shoved me down to New Orleans, where I'd often beeu steam boating before the war. "I had the fever there when I was only 20. Perhaps he thought I could get it again and that would be the end of me. If there's a worse place for a young officer to start in than that infernal town was just after the war, it ain't on the map of these United States. I had the luok and tbe opportunities of tbe devil for nigh on to a year. I got more money and learned more ways of getting it than I knew how to use, and then I got married. "A homeless woman, a woman with brains and good looks and education, married me for the position I could give her, I suppose. They told mo afterward she did it out of spite or desperation that she was a northern girl who had beeu employed as governess in an old southern faitily that was ruined by the war that she had a younger sister in New York whom she was educating—a girl who had a magnificent voice and wanted to go on the stage—and all the money she could save went to her. She got employment when Ben Butler took command, for she knew all the southern families that had money and plato and jewels and those that bad nothing but niggers. "She fell ih love,' they told me afterward, with a swell colonel who came there on staff duty, for he cut a dash and made desperate love to ber, until his wife got wind of it and came down there all of a sudden, just after the smash up of tbe Confederacy, and put a stop to his fun. That was in May, and I got there in July. Wo were married that winter, and I loaded her with the best I could buy and gave ber all she could spend on ber sister until she found out how my money was made there in cotton and cards. She thought —and I'd let Iter think so—that I had big property in the north. It was another woman gave her the tip, and then tbe trouble began. She swore we must give up the house we lived in, the horses and carriage and go to a cheap boarding house. She got the jewelers to take back tbe watch and all tbe trinkets I'd given her at their own valuation— about a quarter of what they cost me. She argued and pleaded and prayed and swore she'd confess the whole thing to General Sheridan, who came there right after the riots of 1866 and took command—and that would have sent me to the penitentiary. "There were regular officers in the deals besides me, and tbey got wind of it and tried to bribe bet, aud she'd cry all night and mope all day and sweai she'd leave me unless I cut loose from the whole business and restored what I'd made. By God I I couldn't 1 I'd spent it I I was no worse than three or four others wbo bad eyes open to their opportunities—two of 'em in the regular army now—bang up swells, and at last I couldn't stand it and got to drinking, and then 1 lost my card nerve, and the money went with it, and it made me desperate—crazy, I reckon, for one night when I ca'&e home dronk and she made a scene, I suppose I must have struck her, and then she took sick and got delirious, and I was horribly afraid, and so were my partners, that she'd give up tbe whole business so they got me leave of absence. "They saw me aboard tbe steamer tor New York. My money was running short and tbey gave me enough to place her in a sanitarium on tbe Hudson and get heT sister with ber, and then I oame back and bad luck followed. I was strapped, when tbe old man told me I'd have to go out and join my regiment, for he'd got me appointed in tbe regulars. Why, some of Sheridan's officers, when tbey saw my name in tbe papers, wrote to stop it, but it was no nse. Tbe military committee in congress couldn't go back on Mr. Cadger, and be daren't go back on my father. Bat they got me sent oat here to be as far away as possible, and, yes, there were three deserters from Cram's battery aboard the steamer, so I learned, and one of tbem, tbe man yon call Higgins, who was betrayed to Lieutenant Blake by another deserter just as bad as him, was staking tbe otber two, for he bad money in plenty nntil after I bad done with him. "What my life's been out here you know well enough—same as it was in New Orleans, all luck and plenty at

first, then all a collapse. I'm ruined now. When I bad hundreds and thousands, I helped everybody who wanted it. There aTe men iu Yuma and Tucson now whom I set on their pins, and tbey give me tbe cold shoulder. All that offer to tbe major was a bluff. They've got all my money. I haven't a cent anywhere, and so far as I'm personally concerned I don't care. If there was no one on earth dependent on me, I'd as lief you'd shoot me tomorrow. "But, gentlemen, there's the rub. I own it now. There's my poor wifo and ber sister. I've lied to tbem both. She got well at the sanitarium. She's believed my promises and she's come all tbe way to San Francisco and was expecting me there when—when the bottom fell out of tbe whole business. She's there now—she and her sister. They've got enough to pay their expenses perhaps a month or so, and tbat's all. I can make a living. I can get along and provide for her if you'll only give me a ohance. I know I deserve dismissal. Tbat's all right, but for God's sake, gentlemen, don't send me to Alcatraz, don't put me in jail. Leave me free to work. There's meu in this territory that owe me nearly $1,000 today. Let me gather that up and go to my wife— I— She's a good woman, gentlemen"—

And here tbe tears came starting from tbe pleading culprit's eyes, aud one or two sympathetic souls about the rude tables sniffed suspiciously. "It aiu't for me to talk of suoh things. Perhaps you won't believe me, but"—and be fingered the leaves of the blue bouud copy of the regulations that lay to the left of the judge advocate's elbow—"I—I lyve that woman and I want to care for her, and take good care of her. Look here," he continued, as with sudden, impulsive movement he unbuttoned his trim fitting, single breasted frock coat aud displayed a snowy shirt bosom, on wbioh sparkled and glistened a great diamond set inthe style much affected by the "sporting gent" of tbe day. "See this diamond. It cost $1,100 in San Franoisoo six months ago, and here this solitary," and be produced from au inner pocket an unquestiouably valuable ring aud, with trembling hands, laid tbem upon the table in front of tbe judge advocate, "and here," and he whipped from the waistband of his trousers a massive and beautiful watch. "There are all the valuables I have in tbe world. These I place in tbe bauds of the worthy officer and gentleman wbo bas only done his duty in representing tbe government through this long and paiuful trial. These I publicly turn over to him with the request that he personally hand them to my poor wifo as soon as he reaches San Francisco as earnest of my intention to lead an honest life aud to care for her in tho future. Aud now, gentlemen, I've nothing to ask for myself—nothing but liberty to go and work for her. I'm not fit to sit with such as you.

He finished aud, quivering as with suppressed emotion, turned his backupon tho court, pressed bis handkerchief to bis streaming eyes and groped his way to the little table set apart for him a few yards to the left of the judge advocate. Tbe silenoe among tbe members and along tbe benches whereon were seated the dozen spectators was for a moment unbroken by a

cept a little shuffling of feet. Then one Veterau member oleared bis throat with a "hem" of preparation to speak, yet hesitated.

The junior officer of the court, a lieutenant of cavalry, slowly stretched forth bis band, picked up tbe solitaire and eyed it with an assumption of critical yet respectful interest. The president, a grizzled, red faced veteran, presently

"Gentlemen, I've nothing to ask for myself." stole a glanoe at Turnbull, who sat with stolid features immediately on his right. One by one tbe nine members (two of tbe original 11 having beeu

•,-vt

challenged an excused) began to look: cautiously about tbem. A captain of infantry was observed to be very red about tbe eyelids, but that might have been, and possibly was, the result of cocktails. Loring alone remained in tbe same position. He bad half turned his back to Nevins when tbe latter began to speak, rested his left elbow on tbe taoiw aud hia head on his hand, his eyes shaded under the curving palm agaiast the glare of light that came from without. There was no room or building big enough for the purpose at tbe post, and thfe court had held its session under brace of hospital tent flies stretched on a framework adjoining the offioe of the major commanding, and Camp Cooke, as a role, looked on from afar.

The spectators who ventured beneath the shade were officers of tbe little garrison, tbe sutler and half a dozen "oasnals" of the civilian persuasion, among whom, if not among tbo members of tbe court, Nevins' harangue had created au undoubted sensation, for glances indicative of surprise if not of incredulity passed among them.

At last, as though he felt that something must be said rather than that he knew what was appropriate to say, tbe presiding officer addressed tbe member wbo had cleared his throat. "You were about to say something, major?" "I—er—should liko to ask the accused whether his wife is informed of his—er—predicament."

And Nevins, slowly turning, answered: "I wrote last week confessing everything. It will be relief to her that I am no longer in the army. She said she oould never look an officer in tbe face." There was another pause, then Nevins spoke again: "I hope I have not imposed too much on tho judge advooate. I have asked because bo is tho only gentleman here who is not entirely a stranger to my poor wife."

Then all eyes were on Loring as he slowly dropped his hand and looked with undisguised astonishment at tbe accused. Blake, a spectator, suddenly drew bis long lega under him and straightened up in his seat. It was needless for Loring to speak. His eyes questioned. "I do not mean that Mr. Loring knows toy wife, but she has hoard of him from her sistor. Thoyhopodto find him iu San Francisco."

Loring had picked up a pencil as he turned. Its point was resting on the pine topped table. IIo never spoke. His eyes, still steadily fixed upon tho twitohing face of Novins, questioned further, and every man present straiued his ears for tho next word. "I should explain—her sister is Miss Geraldine Allyn."

And with a snap that was hoard all over tho assemblago tho load of Loring's pencil

broke

short off. He sat staring

at Nevins, white aud stunued. [TO IIK CONT1NUK1).]
