rhe-e's a mighty curious feller who Is
livin' out our way,
He never seenru as anxious as the rest to
have his say.
He listens to an argument as quiet as kin

An' never makes an effort to break in an'

An' once upon a time—us folks is talkin'
'bout it yet—
ffi asked him his opinion so's to help de

{t was on a general topic ttiat excited high

This feller thought a minute. Then he said
he didn't know.
We'd heard a lot o' people who had strug

Each query. It 'ud give you palpitation of
the brain
To hear the way they figured. An' their
words were of such length
That tryin' to remember them was Jes" a

But the wisest of them never, with their

CHAPTER X.—CONTINUED.
Armstrong took the missive held out
to him and slowly read it, the general
studying his face the while. The let
ter bore no clew as to the whereabouts
of the writer. It read:
"March 1. '9S.
"It Is six weeks since I repaid, all your
loving kindness, brought shame and -sor
row to you and ruin to myself by desert
ing from West Point when my commission
was but a few short months away, in an
hour of intense misery, caused by a girl
who had won my very soul, and whose
words and letters made me believe she
would become my wife the month of my
graduation, and who, as I now believe, was
then engaged to the man she married in
January, I threw myself away. My one
thought was to find her. and Uod knows
what beyond.
"It can never be undone. My career is
ended, and I can never look you in the face
again. At first I thought I should show the
letters, one by one. to the man she mar
ried. and ask him what he thought of his
wife, but that is too low. I hold them be
cause I have a mad longing to see her
again and heap reproach upon her, but, If
I fail and should I feel at any time that
my end is near, I'm going to send them to
you to read—to see how I was lured, and
then, if you can, to pity and forgive.
"KOI.LIN."
Armstrong's firm lips twitched un
der liis mustache. The general, with
moist eyes, had risen from liis chair and
mechanically held forth his hand.
"Poor lad!" sighed Armstrong. "Of
course —you know who the girl was?"
"Oh, of course," and Drayton
shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, we'll have togo," and led onto
.♦.lie misty light without.
Over across the way were the head
quarters tents of a big parade, hope
fully awaiting orders for Manila. To
their left, separated by a narrow space,
so crowded were the camps, were the
quarters of the officers of the —teenth
infantry, and even through the veil of
mist both soldiers could plainly see
along the line. Coming tow ard thegate

Just behind them followed Mildred and

the attentive Schuyler. But w here was
Miss Lawrence? Armstrong had al
ready seen. Lingering, she stood at
Billy's tent front, her ear inclined to liis
protruding pate. He was saying some
thing that took time, and shu showed 110
Inclination to hurry him. Miss Prime
looked back, then she and Schuyler ex
changed significant smiles and glances,
l'here was rather <1 lingering hand
clasp before Amy started. Even then
she looked back at the boy and smiled.
"H'm!" said the general, as lie gazed,
"that youngster wouldn't swap places
with any subaltern in camp, even if he
Is under charges."
There was 110 answer from the strong
soldier standing observant at his elbow.
But when the chief would have moved
Armstrong detained him. "One more
question, general. In case you were
away and wanted something you had
.eft in this tent, you would send an aide
—or orderly, or—would an order signed
by one of your staff be sufficient?"
"H'm, welt —yes, 1 suppose it would,"
•aid the general.
CHAPTER XII.
Opinion was divided at Camp Merritt
is to whether Billy Gray should or
ihould not stand trial. Confident as
ivere his friends of hfs innocence of all
complicity in Morton's escape, there re
mained the fact that he had telephoned
for a carriage, 1 lint a carriage had eonie
*nd that a carriage with four men, ap
parently soldier*, had driven rapidly
townward along Point Lobos avenue.
It was seen by half a dozen policemen
as it sliot under the electric 1 if?lit ox-gas
lamp. Then there was the bundle inside
liis rolled overcoat that (Jray had per
sonally handed Morton when a prison
er. Everybody agreed he should have
sent it by orderly—everybody, that is,
except sonic scores of young soldiers in
the ranks who could see no harm in
it having been done that way, especially
two "Delta Sigs" in the—teenth. Then
there were the long conferences in the
dark. What did they mean V All things
considered, the older and wiser heads
saw that, as the lieutenant could or
would make 110 satisfactory explana
tion of these to his colonel, he should
to a court—or take the consequences.
"You've made a mess of the thingand
an ass of yourself, Billy,'? was Cordon's
comprehensive if not consolatory sum
mary of the matter, "and as Canker has
been rapped for one thing or another
by cam]), division and brigade com
manders,one after another, he feels that
he's got to prove that lie isn't the only
fool in the business. You'd better em
ploy good counsel and prepare for n
fight."
"Can't afford it," said Billy, briefly,
"and I'm blowed if I'll ask my dear old
dad to come to the rescue. He's had
to cough up (shame on your slang,
Billy) far too much already. I tell you.
Gordon, I'm so fixed that I can't ex
plain these things unless I'm actually
brought to trial. It's—it's—well, you
have no secret societies at the Point as
we do at college, so you can't fathom
it. I'm no more afraid of standing
trial than I am of Squeers—and be
d d to him!"
"Good bawd, youngster—you, you
aren't quite such an ass as to suppose
a court is going to regard any schoolboy
obligation as paramount to that which
your oath of office demands. Look
hyuh, Billy, your head's just addled!
I can't work on 3'cu, but somebody
must!"
And Gordon went away very low in
his mind. He liked that boy. He loved
a keen, alert, snappy soldier on drili,
and Billy had no superior in the bat
talion when it came to handling squad
or company. The adjutant plainly saw
the peril of his position, and further
consultation with his brother officers
confirmed him in his fears. Schuyler,
the brigade commissary, being much
with the—teenth —messing with them,
in fact, when he was not dancing at
tendance on Miss Prime —heard all this
camp talk and told her. Thus it hap
pened that the very next day when
he drove with the cousins (Mr. Prime
being the while in conference with the
detectives still scouring the city for the
young deserter, who the father now felt
confident was his missing boy)< Miss
Lawrence looked Ihe captain full in
the face with her clear, searching eyes
and plumped at hiin the point-blank
question:
"Capt. Schuyler, do Mr. Gray's broth
er officers really consider him in dan
ger of dismissal?"
"Miss Lawrence, I grieve to say that
not one has any other opinion now."
There could be no doubt of it. Amy
Lawrence turned very pale and her
beautiful eyes filled.
"It is a shame!" she said, after a
moment's struggle to conquer the
trembling of her li;«. "Has —is there
no one —influential enough—or with
brains enough (this with returning
• color) to take up his case and clear
him ?"
They were whirling through the
beautiful drive of the Golden Gate
park, passing company after company
at drill. Even as Amy spoke Schuyler
lifted his cap and Miss Prime owed
and smiled. A group of regimental of
ficers. four in number, stood, apparent
ly supervising the work, and as Miss
Lawrence quickly turned to see who
they might be, her eyes met those of
Col. Armstrong. Five minutes later the
carriage returning drew up. as though
by some order from its occupants, at
that very spot. Armstrong and his ad
jutant were still there and promptly
joined them.
Long weeks afterward that morning
lived in Stanley Armstrong's memory,
ft was one of those rare August days
when the wind blew from the south
east, beat back the drenching Pacific
fogs and let the warm sun pour upon
the brilliant verdure of that wonderful
park. Earth and air. distant sea and
dazzling sky. all seemed glorifying their
Creator. I'right-liued birds flashed
through the foliage and thrilled the
ear with their caroling. The plash of
fountain fe'.i softly on the breeze, min
gled with the rustling of the luxuriant
grow th of leaf and flower close at hand,
it was not. chance that brought the
stalwart soldier instantly to Amy's
side. Her gaze was upon him before
the carriage stopped, and irresistibly
drew him. The man of mature years,
the hero of sharp combats and stirring
campaigns with a fierce and savage foe,
the commander of hundreds of eager
and gallant men, obeyed without
thought of demur the unspoken sum
mons of a girl yet in her teens. There
was a new light in her clear and beau
tiful eyes, a flur.h upon her soft and
rounded elieek, a little flutter, possibly,
in her kind and heart. Heaven
knows his heart beat high with an emo
tion he could not subdue, though liis
bearing was grave and courteous as
ever, but about that sweet and flushing
face there shone the halo of a woman's
brave determination, and no sooner had
he reached the carriage side than, bend
ing toward him, she spoke. Mildred
Prime could not repress a little gasp of
amaze.
"Col. Armstrong, will you kindly
open the carriage door? I want to talk
with you a moment."
Without a word he wrenched the
handle and threw w ide the door. Light
as a bird she sprang to the ground, her
fingers just touching the extended
hand. Side by side they strolled away
across the sunlit lawn, he so strong,
virile, erect, she so lissome and grace
ful. Full of her purpose, yet fearful
that with delay might come timidity,
bhe looked up in his face:
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1900.
"Col Armstrong-, J have heard only
to-day that Mr. Cray is in really serious
danger. Will you tellrrathet —the truth?"
Just what Armstrong expected it
mifrht be hard to say. The light that
had leaped to his eyes faded nlowlv nud
his face lost something of the Hush of
robust health. There was a brief pause
before he spoke as though he wished
time to weigh his words.
'•] fear it is true," he gravely said.
Then in a moment: "Miss Lawrence,
will you not taUe my arm?" And he
felt her hand trejjnble as sin- placed it
there. It was a moment before she be
gan again.
"They tell me he should have counsel,
but will not heed. I have not seen him
to-day. There is no one in his battalion,
it seems, whom he really looks up to.
lie is headstrong and self-confident.
Do you think he should—that lie needs
one?" And anxiously the brave eyes
sought the strong, soldierly face.
"It would seem so, Miss Lawrence."
She drew a long breath. She seemed
to cling a little closer to his arm. Then
—straight came the next question:
"Col. Armstrong, will you do me a
great favor? Will you be his counsel?"
He was looking directly to the front
as she spoke. Something told him what
was coming, yet he could not answer
all at once. What did it mean, after all,
but just what he had been thinking for
a week, that the girl's fresh young
heart had gone out to this merry, hand
some, soldierly lad, whom he, too, had
often marked with keen appreciation
when in command of his big company
at drill. What possible thought of hers
could he, "more than twice her years,"
have ever hoped to win? She had come
to him in \ser sore trouble —and her
lover's—as she would have gone to her
father had he been a soldier schooled in
such affairs. Armstrong pulled himself
together with quick, stern self-com
mand.
Looking down, he saw that her eyes
were filling, her lips paling, and a rush
of tenderness overcame liitn as he sim
ply and gently answered:
"Yes, and there is no time to be lost."
All these last days, it will be remem
bered, Mrs. Frank Garrison with pret
ty C herry Ripe" had found shelter at
the I'residio. The palace was no place
for a poor soldier's wife, and there was
no longer a grateful nabob as a possible
source of income. It is doubtful indeed
whether that mine could be further
tapped, for the effusive brother-in-law
of the winter gone by had found dis
illusion in more ways than one. Gar
rison, busy day and night with his staff
duties, had plainly to tell his capri
cious wife that she had come without
his knowledge or consent, and that he
could not think of meeting the expense
of even a two weeks' stay in town. He
could not account for her coming at
all. lie had left her with his own peo
ple where at least she would be in com
fort while he took the field. lie desired
that she should return thither at once.
She determined to remain and gayly
tapped his cheek and bade him .have
110 concern. She could readily find
quarters, and so she did. The regu
lar garrison of the Presidio was long
since afield, but the families of most
of its officers Mill remuinedthere, while
the houses of two or three, completely
furnished so far as army furnishings go,
were there in charge of the post quar
termaster. From being the temporary
guests of some old friends, Mrs. Frank
and her pretty companion suddenly
opened housekeeping in one of these
vacated homes, and all her witchery
was called into play to make it the
most popular resort of the younger ele
ment at the post. Money she
lack, but 110 woman could eclipse tier
in the dazzle of her dainty toilets. The
Presidio was practically at her feet be
fore she had been established 4S hours.
Other peoples' vehicles trundled her
over to camp whenever she would drive.
Other peoples' horses stood saddled at
her door when she would ride. Other
peoples' servants flew to do her bidding.
Women might whisker and frown, but
for the present, at least, she had the
men at her beck and call. Morn, noon
and night she was on the go, the morn
ings being given over, as a rule, to a
gallop over the breezy heights where
the brigade or regimental drills were
going 011, the afternoons to calls, where
in it is ever more blessed to give than
to receive—and the evenings to hops
at the assembly room, or to entertain
ing'—charmingly entertaining the little
swarm of officers with occasional angels
of her own sex, sure to drop in and
spend an hour. "Cherry" played and
sang and "made eyes" at the boys. Mrs.
Frank was w intome and genial and joy
ous to everybody, and when Garrison
himself arrived 'rom camp, generally
late in the evening, looking worn and
jaded from long r.ours at the desk, she
had ever a comforting supper and smil
ing, playful welcome for her lord, mak
ing much of him before the assembled
company, to the end that more than one
callow sub was heard to say that there
would be some sense in marrying, by
George, if a fellow could pick up a wife
like Mrs. Frank. All the same the post
soon learned that the supposedly blest
aide-de-camp breakfasted solus 011 what
he could forage for himself before he
mounted and rode over to his long day's
labor at Camp Merritt. Another thing
was speedily apparent, the entente enr
diale between her raidiant self and the
Primes was at an end, if indeed it ever
existed. She, to be sure, was sunshine
itself when they chanced to meet at
camp. The clouds were 011 the faces
of the father and daughter, while Miss
Law rence maintained a serene neutral
ity-
They were lingering in 'Frisco, still
hopefully, were the Primes. The de
tectives on duty at the landing stage
the evening Stewart's regiment em
barked, swore that no one answering
tlx; description of either of the two
young men had slipped aboard. Those
in the employ of the sad old man were
persistent in the statement that they
had clews—were on the scent, etc. He
was a sheep worth the shearing, and so,
while Mr. Prime spent many hours in
consultation with certain ot these so
called sleuth-hounds, the young ladies
took their daily drive through the park,
generally picking up the smiling
Schuyler somewhere along t he way, and
rarely omitting a call, with creature
comforts in the way of baskets of fruit,
upon the happy Hilly, whose limits
were no longer restricted to his tent,
as during the first week of his arrest,
but whose court was ordered to sit in
judgment on him the first of the com
ing week. Already it began to be whis
pered that Armstrong had a mine to
spring in behalf of the defense, but he
was so reserved that no one, even Gor
don, sought to question.
"Armstrong is a trump!" said Billy
to Miss Lawrence, one fair morning
"He'll knock those charges silly—
though I dare say I could have wormed
through all right; only, you see, I
couldn't get out to find people to give
evidence for me."
"Do you —see him often?" she asked,
somewhat vaguely.
"Armstrong!" exclaimed Hilly, in
open-eyed amaze. "Why, he's here with
me every day."
"Hut never," thought Miss Lawrence,
"in the morning—when we are."
The eventful Monday was duly ush
ered in, but not the court. That case

never came to trial. Like the crack
of a whip an order snapped in by wire
on the Thursday previous—three reg
iments, the —teenth regulars and the
"Primeval Dudes," Armstrong's splen
did regiment among them—to prepare
for sea voyage forthwith. More than
that, Gen. Drayton and stall' were di
rected to proceed to Manila at once.
Two-thirds of the members of the court
were from these regiments. A new de
tail would be necessary. The general
sent for Armstrong.
"Can't we try that case here and
now?" he asked.
"Certainly," said Armstrong, "if
you'll send for Canker that he may be
satisfied."

A GREAT FATLT'KE.
A Nov/ York Firm Makes ac
Assignment.

—L,ial>ilitiena.r« Sal<l to
Bate Nearly $13,000,000.
New York, May 25.—Price, McCor
mick & Co., one of the largest brok
erage houses in the city, failed Thurs
day with liabilities estimated at $13,-
000,000. The firm is a member of the
stock, cotton and produce exchanges
and of the Chicago stock exchange,
and has branch offices in about 30
cities throughout the United States.
The failure is ascribed to the fact
that the firm was long of cotton in
the face of a fast falling market. A
notice on the doors of the offices of
the company referred all inquiries to
William J. Curtis and William N.
Cromwell, assignees. Mr. Cromwell
said the total liabilities are about
$13,000,000, nearly all of which is se
cured.
The firm is composed of Theodore
If. Price, William ti. McCormiek, I*.
G. M. Stewart-Wort ley and Walter W.
Price, with George Crocker, of San
Francisco, a special partner, on an
investment of $.">00,000. Mr. McCormiek
Is of the well-known ( hieago family
of agricultural implement fame, and
Stew art-Wortley is a son-in-law of
Hear Admiral Schley. The firm was
organized January 2, 1807. Of the
partners Mr. Crocker is now in Eu
rope and Mr. Stewart-Wortley is on
his way back from Europe.
Early in the day rumors were cur
rent that a prominent firm was in
trouble and shortly before the official
announcement of the suspension was
made, it was generally understood
that l'rice, McCormiek & Co. was the
house referred to. Prior to the for
mal announcement the cotton mar
ket had broken over 20 points under
terrific selling for both accounts from
all directions. The firm has long
been regarded as the leading support
er of the market, and at one time it
was said they were going to put Au
gust cotton up to ten cents. The de
cline of the past month, however,
was against them, and despite their
efforts they could not hold the mar
ket up.
Following the announcement of
the failure the cotton market became
panic-stricken and broke 10 to 13
points. The extent of the decline
from the highest price when the bull
movement culminated has been 122
points. Later in the session the
market became more quiet, but con
tinued to show a weak undertone on
the generally very favorable crop ac
counts.
Early in the day rumors were cur
rent on the stock exchange that there
was some outside trouble, and by the
time the failure was formally an
nounced front the rostrum of the
stock exchange the room and the
street were prepared for the news.
Nevertheless, it had its effect.
There was a rush to sell that carried
prices down sharply. There was a
decline of about 1 per cent, in the
standard railway shares and from 2
to 2 1 , per cent, in the balance of the
list.
While the firm was also a member
of the produce exchange, the effect
of the failure there was almost whol
ly sentimental.
Assignees Curtis anil Cromwell
make the following announcement
regarding the failure:
"To the creditors of Price, McCor
miek & Co.: We ask and advise that
creditors holding stocks, bonds and
other collateral to loans, and already
well margined, hold the loans until
reasonable opoprtunity be afforded
the assignees to deal with the same,
that unnecessary loss may be avoid
ed."
