Gray had had a long talk with the prisoner, took him his overcoat, newspapers, etc., but, in extenuation, they were members of the same college society and their social standing was, outside the army. 011 the same plane. Gray deserved reprimand and caution —nothing more. As to the carriage, he had nothing to do with the one that drove to camp that night. A man in the uniform of a commissary sergeant giving the nameof Foley (how Canker winced) had ordered it at the stable and taught the driver "Killar ney." Gray had 'phoned for a carriage for himself, hoping to get the officer of the day's permission to be absent two hours to tell his story in person to the general, who was dining with the de partment commander. lie never got the permission,'and the carriage went to the wrong camp. Lieut. W. F. Gray was released from arrest and returned to duty. "I shall never be able to thank you enough," saiil he, sentimentally, to Mi.sc Lawrence, at the Palace that evening They were strolling up and down tli« corridor, waiting, as was Schuyler, for Mildred to come down for the theater. <iray's curly head was inclined toward the dark locks of his fair partner, llis •eyes were fastened on her faintly flush ing face. They made a very pretty pic ture, said people who looked 011 know ingly, and so thought the officer in the uniform of a colonel of infantry, who, while talking »»aimly to Mr. J'riine full 30 yards away, watched them with eyes that were full of sadness. How could "he see at that distance that her eyes, clear and radiant, were seldom uplifted to the ardent gaze of her escort, and were at the moment looking straight at him? How could he hear at that dis tance the prompt respoiw, gm-n witli an inclination of the bonny head to indicate her meaning? "There's where your thanks are due, Mr. Gray." Quite a gathering of army folks was ut the l'alaee that night. 80 many wives or sweethearts we're going home, to many soldiers abroad, and Mrs. J-'rank Garrisi.!:. gay and gracious, passed them time and again, leaning on the arm of ( apt. McDonald, a new devotee, while poor ( herry, with an enamored swain from tin- I'residio, languished in a dim, secluded corner. She had been recalled by parental au thority and was to start for Denver under a matronly wing on the morrow. Mrs. Frank had been bidden, and ex pected, togo at the same time, but that •.uthority was merely marital. Up to this time not one army wife had been permitted to accompany her husband • n any of the transports to Manila, though one heroine managed to get carried away and to share her liege lord's stateroom as far as Honolulu. The general and his stall', with a big regiment of volunteers, were In sail on the morrow, the other regiments as fast as transports could be coaled and made ready. Something in Mrs. Garrison's gay, triumphant manner prompted a sore hearted woman, suffering herself at the coming parting, to turn and say: "Well, Mrs. Garrison, 1 suppose that after your husband sails you'll have to follow the rest of us into grass-widow hood." One thing that made, women hate Margaret (iarrison was that she "could never be taken down," and the answer came cuttingly, as it was meant togo, even though a merry laugh went with it. "Xot 1! When the ship 1 want is ready, I go with it!" 15ut as she turned triumphantly away, the color suddenly left her cheek and there was an instant's falter. As though he had heard her words, Stan ley Armstrong too had suddenly turned and stood looking sternly into her eyes. CHAPTER XIII. Still another expedition,was destined to start, for Manila, and keen was the rivalry among the regiments held to daily drill at San Francisco. The rumor was current in the camps that the next review was to decide the matter, and that the commands pronounced to be foremost in discipline and efficiency would be designated to embark. The transports that had conveyed the ear lier expeditions to the Philippines be gan to reappear in the bay, and coaling and refitting were hurried to the ut most. The man most eager to get away was Stanley Armstrong; and if merit were to decide the matter it.was con ceded among the volunteers that in point of style ami equipment the "Primeval Dudni" "held over" all com petitors, even though*every competitor believed itself more than a match for the Duties if actual campaigning and lighting were in contemplation. Sen ators and members from the states represented by the volunteers at San Francisco led burdensome lives, for of ficers ami men were pulling every wire to secure the longed-for orders for an immediate voyage to Manila, when, all on a sudden, the hopes of all were crushed. Spain had begged for peace. "No more men can be sent to Manila," said the officials consulted, and Camp Merritt put on mourning forthwith. But Armstrong had been studying the situation and was not easily daunt ed. Tie was a man whose opinion car ried weight, and from the very lirst he had maintained that while 15,000 or ~(),- OUO might be men enough to hold Ma nila, 50,000 might not be enough to sub due at once the forces of Aguinaldo in case they should turn upon the Ameri cans, which, said he, placidly, they will most certainly do before we are a year older. The Dudes, therefore, much to their disgust, were kept steadily at work. Other regiments, profiting by example, followed suit; but in others still, a small proportion of their membership, believing, as they said, that the "jig was up," took to lawless and unhal lowed expression of their disgust and became thereby a nuisance to the •neighborhood. San Franciscans, who had wept copiously when others sailed away, would have seen these patriots sent into exile without shedding a tear. "Every man of this command will yet be needed and yet be sent," said Armstrong. So, too, did ihe veteran division commander, and the brigade took heart accordingly. The last of tly .regulars, with the recruit detachments for regiments already in the Philip pines, had been shipped to Honolulu, there to await orders, and September seemed destined togo by without a change for the better in the prospects of the men still left in camp about the reservation. The Primes, convinced at last that the boy they sought was not tt) be found in California, had gone to Santa Anita visiting their kindred, the Lawrences; and Armstrong, buckling down to hard and constant work, was striving to persuade himself that lie did not care that the mornings 110 long er brought with them the carriage and the fair face of that gentle girl; the de partment commander himself had gone to take a look at his new responsibil ities in Hawaii; little Mrs. Garrison still held court, though with dimin ished retinue, at the Presidio, when one day, just as October was ushered in, there came a message from the adju tant general in town. Would Arm strong drop in at the office at the first opportunity? A matter of some im portance had come up in the general's first letter from Honolulu, one on which Armstrong's opinion was de sired; and the colonel, hoping for tid ings of a chance to move even that far to the front, made immediate oppor tunity and took the lirst car for the Plielan building. The adjutant gener al looki'd up from a littered desk as Armstrong - entered. "It is good of you to come so prompt ly," said he. "I'm in a slew, to tell the /p: i'hH r-3 !i 1 •.! i 1 l!; | ff\ Noivhere saw the mistress of the house. tn»«h »4ul I want your advice." The;, in' tapped his bell. "Excuse me to any one who comes for,the next ten min utes," said, he to inn attendant who entered. "1 have business with Col. Armstrong." No soner did the orderly vanish than the man of the desk whirled full on the man of the saddle. "Armstrong."' said lie, "you defended Gray and provi d him innocent. What else has Canker against him?" "Nothing tiiat I know of —why'."' "Because lie's got him in arrest again at Honolulu, and the chief is worked ii]i over something. Look here —do you suppose —did j ou ever hear about cer tain, letters that were stolen from Gen. Dayton's tent?" "I heard—yes. AVhy?" And the look of disappointment which had appeared in the grave face of the colonel gave way to one of alert interest. "Just read that," said the staff of ficial, holding forth a letter. "Begin there at 'Later!' " And Armstrong read, his forehead slowly grooving into something very •like a frown. "Later. 1 may have to remain here several days. Canker, with the —teenth, went ahead before news of the protocol could stop him; but he leaves here a number of sick—Lieut. Gray, charged with using threatening and in subordinate language to his command ing officer, among them; and Gray is down with brain fever. The doctors say he is too ill to be disturbed, and his side of the story is hard to get at, as the boy is too flighty to talk sense. From Canker's own admission I learned that he accused Gray of having knowl edge of the whereabouts of that packet of letters stolen from Gen. Drayton's ter.t, and the youngster's reply was furious. Canker had to place him in arrest and prefer charges. When asktyl if he were sure of his ground in making so serious an accusation, he de clared he had proof positive, at least I,* would have the instant they reached Manila, and his intention was to take the boy along with him fo be tried there by court-martial, where 'no meddling CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1900. outsiders,' as he said, could buy off witnesses. It was plain that he con sidered himself out of my jurisdiction, and that he resented my staff officer's questions. But Dr. Morrow had ap pealed to me in behalf of Gray. Said that if compelled to continue a pris oner aboard that transport under Can ker's tyrannical rule Gray might be goaded into insanity. He was in a condition bordering on brain fever when Morrow came to see me. and in another day was raving. That settled it. I ordered him taken oil! and placed in hospital here, and Canker had togo without him. But 1 wish you would see Armstrong and tell liini about Gray, so that I may know the whole situation as soon as I return. Canker evidently intended not to let us know his proofs, lie probably believes that he will find a more credulous and complaisant lis tener in Drayton; but his insinuations pointed to Gray as at least an abettor in the theft, and he went so far as to say that if Armstrong could be brought before ihe court some very inn resting testimony could be dragged from him. and, finally, that both Armstrong and Mrs. —well, the wife of a staff officer who is already well on the way to Ma nila— might be compelled to testify, I cannot bring myself to repeat more that he said; but he was in ugly and al mostdefiant mood, and 1 had to give him a dressing down. You may say to Arm strong f"r me that I do not believe one word of Canker's calumny at his ex pense or that of the lady in the ease. But he declared his intention of lay ing the whole matter before Gen. Drayton immediately on his arrival, and it is best that Armstrong should be prepared. As for the lady, ( anker said she and Armstrong were very close friends when they were at Fort Stan hope ten years ago, though they no longer meet as such. "And that brings me to another mat ter. I declined positively to allow two or three ladies, wives of officers, togo 011 to Manila with Canker's command; and they said that as 1 had promised Mrs. Garrison a passage 1 had 110 right to refuse them. Pressed for their authority, two very estimable women told me that, at the Presidio two days before we sailed, Mrs. Garrison openly boasted of having my promise to send her 011 the very next steamer. Now, who is really the fabricator? I told her positively that, with my consent, she should not go; and she laughed de lightedly. and said she only asked as a matter of form —the whole thing had already been settled. Just see to it that if any more transports start be fore my return no woman is permitted aboard except, of course, authorized nurses. Gray is a very sick boy to night, but you might wire his father, saying nothing of the arrest, that the doctors are confident of his recovery in course of time." Armstrong read these pages twice over before he looked up. "llow did this letter come?" he asked. "By the Salvador yesterday." "And the. next mail for Honolulu?" queried Armstrong, rising from his chair and handing back the folded let ter. "The next mail closed an hour ago. man. The China sails at two. Noother boat for a week. Where are you going now?" "To camp for ten minutes, then to the Presidio." "Oh, come over fo the club and have a bite first?" -aid the adjutant general, rising and wrk'gling out of his uniform coat as he did so. "1 won't keep you 'half an hour." "That half hour may prove precious," answered Armstrong, already at the door. "Many thanks, all the same." "Well, hold on. What am I to say to the general as to Gray and those let ters?" asked the staff officer, intent upon the subject uppermost in his mind at the moment. "You can't say anything that will reach him before he returns. You have just told me no other boat would start for a w> ek. By that time he'll be com ing home." And with that Armstrong let himself out and strode to the ele vator, leaving his friend to cogitate on the question over his luncheon. It was decidedly tliut officer's opinion that Armstrong knew much more than he would tell. But Armstrong knew much less than he himself believed. Hastening back to camp and ordering his horse, he was soon speeding up the slope to the wind swept heights overlooking the Golden Gate. The morning had opened line as silk, but by noon thu sky was hid den in clouds and the breath of the sea blew in salt and strong. The white caps were leaping on the crest of the surges driving in through the straits and the surf bursting high on the jagged rocks at the baseof the cliffs. A little coast steamer from Santa Bar bara way came pitching and plunging in from sea, and one or two venture some craft, heeling far to leeward, tore through the billows and tossed far astern a frothing wake. With manes and tails streaming in the stiff gale, the troop horses of the Fourth cavalry wre cropping at the scanty herbage down the northward slope, and the herd'guard nearest the road lost his grip on his drab campaign lir.t as he essayed a salute and galloped off on a stern chase down the long Jiivinf to the east, as the colonel trotted brisk ly by. One keen glance over the bay beyond rocky Aleatraz had told him the China was not yet away from her pier. He might have to send a dispatch by that swift steamer, and even then it would be six days getting to Hawaii. If the department commander should by that time be on his homeward jour ney the information would still be of interest to the general commanding the ni'w military district at "the Cross Itoads of the Pacific," and of vast bene fit, possibly, to his late client, Mr. Gray, lie wondered what Canker's grounds could be for saddling so foul a suspi cion on the boy's good name. He won dered how long that poor lad would have to struggle with this attack of fever and remain, perhaps happily, un- 112 conscious of this latest indignity. He - wondered if Amy Lawrence yet knew of that serious seizure, and, if she c,id, what would be her sensations. Down the winding, sloping road he urged his way, Glencoe. his pet charger, marvel ing at the unusual gait. The cape of the sentry's overcoat whirled over the sentry's head and swished his cap off as he presented arms to the tall soldier spurring past the guardhouse. "I envy no one who has to put to sea this day," said Armstrong to himself, as he turned to the right and reined up in front of a little brown cottage peeping out from a mass of vines and roses, shivering in the wet wind. Half a dozen strides took him across the narrow walk and up the wooden steps. With sharp em phasis he clanged the little gong bell screwed to the back of the door and waited impatient of the servant's com ing. There was no answer. lie rang again and still again, and no one came. A glance at the windows told that the white lace curtains hung there draped as prettily as ever. Fresh flowers stood on the window sill. A shawl and a pillow, the latter indented as by a hu man head, lay in the lounging chair on the Little porch. Another chair stood but a few feet away. There was even a fan, though fans in a 'Frisco summer are les> needed than furs; but nowhere saw he other sign of the tem porary mistress of the house, lie went round to a side window and rapped. No answer. Then he turned to the walk again, and, taking the reins, bade the orderly inquire next door if Mrs. Garrison 'could be found. Yes, was the answer; she went driving to Golden Gate Park with Mrs. Stockman an hour ago, and Mrs. Stockman was to leave for Los Angeles that night. Odd! If Mrs. Garrison drove to Gclden Gate i Park the easiest and best way was that along which he came, and he had met no carriage. In fact, not since that i night at the Palace had he set eyes on i Mrs. Garrison, or until the coming of this sorrowful news about Gray had lie cared to. From all that he heard Mrs. Frank was enjoying herself at the Presidio. Cherry having gone one way and her devotee another, Mrs. Frank speedily summoned a chum of old gar rison days to come and keep house with her for awhile, and Mrs. Stockman, whose lord had left her at the call of duty, and gone to Manila with his men, right gladly accepted and much en joyi'd the fun and frolic that went on night after night in Mrs. Frank's cozy parlor, or the mild flirtation, possibly, in the recesses of Mrs. Frank's em bowered porch. The last expedition had borne off almost all the "regular" element at the post, but had not left, it poor, for, fast as camp grounds could be made ready for them, vastly to the disgust of the saloon keepers and street car magnates who had reaped rich harvest from Camp Merritt, regiment after regiment, the volunteers came marching over from the malodorous sand lots and settled down in sheltered nooks about the Presidio. So cavaliers in plenty were still to be had, cavaliers whose wives and -w "eth> arts, as a rule, were far away; and Mrs. Frank loved to console such as were so bereft. The chafing dish and Scotch and soda were in nightly request; and even wom en who didn't at all fancy Mrs. Frank, and spoke despitel'ully of her among themselves, \v< re not slow to come "lor just a minute," as they said, as the evenings w ore on, and to stay and chat with various visitor.-—it was so lone some and poky over home with the chil dren asleep and nothing to do. Women there were who never darkened Mrs. Garrison's door after the tirst formal calls; but they were of those who deep ly felt the separation from all they held most dear, and who, forbidden them selves. heard with envy and even dis tress her gay assertion that she would sail for Manila the moment the Queen of the Fleet was ready. From what source—or circumstance—did she de rive her influence? [To lie Continued ] A Natural Mistake. A few years before his death Allen G.

Upon several occasions during the progress of the trial Tliurman re ferred to his legal opponent as "Mr. Necessity." 1 lie young man arose whenever this occurred and with great gravity reminded the court that his name was Cassidy.

BOY WITH A HOBBY. Master Hume Gibson Richards Is a Mechanical Prodigy. Altli»nf(l> Ilut Four Yrora of He tan Kan H l.ocomntivf nnd I'n- Jo>» a \iglil Ride Over the Western Mountain*. Master Hume Gibson Richards Is the youngest locomotive driver in the world.. Indeed, he is not) only a mechan ical prodigy, but is as remarkable for his knowledge in other lines. Before he was three years old he astonished the railroad men of the west by his great knowledge of mechanics. He knew every part of the intricate loco motive, could name those parts by their technical terms, and describe their functions with exact precision and readiness. Repeated tests have been made of his singular knowledge of me chanics by experts, and l the results have astounded the wise ones. On one occasion Master Richards was taken to the locomotive works of one of the Chicago railroads and he named the various parts of a locomotive before they were put together. Those who witnessed the test were forced to the belief that the youngster could build a locomotive by direction. He has been to the scene of wrecks several times and the points of interest to liim were the smashed engines and cars. He would look over the demolished loco motives just as an "old-timer" would do, and within the same length of time give with technical skill a detailed ac count of the damage sustained by the engine. There are thousands 1 of railroad cars operated in this country and Can ada by the various railroads. Master Richards has never failed yet in desig nating the roads to which these cars belong. llu knows by the initials painted thereon. Many is the time he has sat. in the cabs of locomotives that pull the fast mails and expresses over the western OILING AROUND THE ENGINE. (One of the Favorite Occupations of Little Hume Richards.) plains and mountainous highlands. To him such experiences have become as commonplace as to the engineers them selves. In fact, he is an much at home in the cab of a locomotive as the man at the throttle or the man who shovels coal in the firebox. Fear has never entered his ii«nd while riding at the greatest speed in the cab of an engine. On some of his trips to and across the Rocky mountains he has fallen asleep alongside the boiler on the fireman's side of the cab. He would slumber soundly while the iron steed whirled around reverse curves, thundered uj» and down steep grades and through deep-walled cuts and rolled over level plains along those western overland routes. To him nothing is more inter esting and absorbing. Master Richards has not reached his fifth year, nor is he even able to read. He is too young to be sent to a kinder garten, his father preferring not to push him into the schoolroom before lie is at least seven ye; rs old. His first love was a locomotive, and he studied it in his own peculiar way, without for getting the smallest fact or part. He also took a keen interest in the late American-Spanish war, and' has on his tongue's end the name of every battle ship, cruiser, torpedo boat and other crafts of importance that took part in that conflict on both sides. Further, he knows every state, territory and is land, lake and river of the United States, and can bound many of the states without the aid of a map. It is one of his pleasures nnd pastimes to take imaginary trips around the world, and in these he rattles off the seas, straits and otlwr bodies of water passed through, as well as the names of the countries skirted, for he is equally con versant with the countriesof the world nnd their inhabitants. He knows more about the causes that led up to the American-Spanish war and the results than many of matured years. In fact, he is full of the Filipino war, Cuban an nexation and Porto Rican liberty, and can bound these new possessions Uncle Sam with readiness. Master Jiichards, says the Chicago Tribune, was born in Chicago on July 15, 1895. His father moved to Lincoln, Neb. Mrs, Richards died a year ago and Master Richards has since been with his grandfather, Ilenry A. Rich ards, formerly of Chicago. A \oto«l Xol»le Darsinnn.

Hiram was so young and of such slight built that the other soldiers tried to joke with him. saying that if need be bis father could pick him up and carry him into a place of safety. Such an act was, however, unnecessary, for in a skirmish with the British the youthful soldier car ried himself so well and with such a nylitary bearing that Capt. Davis, who had command of the troops, said that if he had a regiment of sue* soldiers he could go into Canada and fight the enemy on their own grounds. For his services Mr. Cronk receives a pension of eight dollars per month. Mr. Cronk cast his first vote for Andrew Jackson and has continued tc vote for the democratic ticket on down through the years, his last vote being for Cleveland. He is a devout Methodist, and often, while in con versation, will start out in a fairly clear voice on some old familial hymn. It gives him special pleasure to have anyone listen to his story ol his conversion and it is one well worth the time. A family reunion was held on his hundredth anniver sary. TO BE MADE KING.

Joseph Jenson, a clockmaker, of Richfield, Utah, has just completed an interesting clock, which, besides strik ing the hours, halves and quarters and showing the phases of the moon, tells what time it is in every city in the world. This is done by means'of a globe which revolves within a trans parent globular glass. On this glass is marked a line representing 12 o'clock noon, and as the globe revolves this line is always directly over that part of the world where it is noon at that time. There are other lines rep resenting the different hours, and in this way it is a very simple matter to get the exact time at any given place. I'royrroM* In Dawson City.
