THE 5CKANTON TRIBUNE-FRIDAY MORNING. JULY 137. 1894.
CIIAPTER VIII.
In tho big red omnibus that wivs
slowly toiling over tho dusty ro:id sov
crr.l passengers wero lunking t!ir way
from the railway station to tho hott:l at
Lako Sablou. Two of tliom wero wom
en of maturo years, whoso dross aud
bearing betokened lives of case and com
fort. Another was a lovely brunette of
lew than 20, tho daughter evidently
of ono of tlicso ladies, and an object of
loving prido to both. Theso three
Boomed at homo in their nurroundiiigs
atid wero absorbed in tho packet of let
ters and papers they had just received
at tho Htation. It was evident that they
wero not new arrivals, as wero tho oth
er passengers, who studied them with
tho half envious feelings with which
lipwcomers at a summer resort aro apt
to regard thoso who seem to have been
long established there, and who gather
ed from tho scraps of conversation that
they had merely been over to say good
by to friends leaving on tho very traiu
which brought in tho rest of what wo
good Americans term "tho busload."
There wero women among the newly
arrived who inspected tho dark girl
with that calm, unflinching, imperti
nent scrutiny and half audibly whispered
comment which, had they been of tho
opposite sex, would have warranted
their being kiekod out of tho conveyance,
but which was ignored by the fair object
and her friends as completely as wero
tho commentators themselves. There
were one or two men iu thu omnibus
who might readily havo been forgiven
an admiring glanco or two at so bright
a vision of girlish beauty as was lli.stt
Eeuwick this August afternoon, and
they iiad looked, but tho one. who most
attracted tho notice of Mrs. Maynard aud
Aunt Grace a tall, stalwart, distin
guished looking party in gray traveling
dross had taken Ms seat close to tho
door and was deep in tho morning's pa
per before they wero fairly away from
tho station.
. Laying down tho letter sho had just
finished reading, Mrs. Maynard glanced
nt her daughter, who was still engaged
In ono of her own, and evidently with
deep interest
"From Fort Sibley, Alice?"
"Yes, mamma, all three Miss Cra
ven, Mrs. Hoyt and Mr. Jerrold.
Would you liko to see it?" Aud, with
rising color, she held forth the one in
hor hand.
"Not now," was the answer, with a
smile that told of confidenco and grati
fication both. "It is About tho gorman,
I suppose?"
"Yes. Ho thinks it ontragcons that
we should not bo there says it ia to bo
the prettiest ever given at tho fort, and
that Mrs. Hoyt and Mrs. Craven, who
are the managers for tho ladies, had
asked him to lead. He wants to know
if we cannot possibly come. "
"Are you not very eager to go, Alice?
I should be," said Aunt Grace, with
6ympathetio interest.
"Yes, I am, " answered Miss Roiiwiek
reflectively. "It had been r.rrauged that
It should come off next weok, when, as
was supposed, wo would bo homo after
this visit. It cannot be postponed, of
course, becauso it is given- in honor of
all the officers who are gathered there
for tho rifle competition, and that will
be all over and dono with today, and
thny cannot stay beyond Tuesday next.
.We must give it up, auntie," aud sho
looked up smilingly, "and you havo

do it without a sigh. Think of that

Yes, I did want to go, but papa said he
felt unequal to it tho moment ho got
baek from Chicago, day beforo yester

It onco to Mrs. Hoyt Thij is her an

"What does sho say?"
"Oh, it is very kind of hor. Sho
wants mo to como and bo hor guest if
tho colonel is too ill to como and
mamma will not leavo him. Sho says
Mr. Hoyt will como down and escort
mo. But I would not liko to go without
mamma," and the big dark eyes looked
np wistfully, "and I know sho does not
oaro to urgo papa when he seems so in
disposed to going. "
Mrs. Maynard's eyos wero anxious
and troubled now. Sho turned to hor
'listur-iu-law:
"Do yon think he seems any better,
Oraco? I do not."
"It is hard to say. Ho was so nerv
ously anxious to get away to seo tho
general tho very day you arrived here
that there was not a moment iu which
I could ask him about himself, and since
his return he has avoided all mention
of itboyond saying it is nothing but
Indigestion and he would be all right in
a fow days. I never knew him to suffer
Iu that way in my lifo. Is thero any
( regimental matter that can bo troubling
him?" she asked in a lower tone.
"Nothing of any conscquonce what

tho oolonol didn't mako the faintest al
lusion to it That hasn't worried him
anywhere noar as much as it has the
Others, I should judge. "
"I do not think it was all Mr. Jer
rold'a fault, mamma," said Misa Ben
wick, witli gonile reproach and a vory
becoming flash. "I'm going to stand
Op for him, because I think they all
blame him for other men's poor work.
He was not tho only ono on our team
Whose shooting was bolow former

"Thoy claim that none fell so far be
low their expectations as he, Alice.
You know I am no judge of such mat
ters, but Mr. Hoyt and Captain Gray
both write the colonel that Mr. Jerrold
had been taking no care of himself
whatever and was entirely out of form. "
"In any event, I'm glad tho cavalry

loyal response. "You remember tho
evening we rodo out to tho range, and
Captain Gray said that thero was tho
man who would win tho first prize from
Mr. Jerrold that tall cavalry sergeant
who fainted away Sergeaut McLeod.
Don't you remember, mother? Well,
ho did not oven get a placo, and Mr.
Jerrold beat him easily."
Something in her mother's eyes warn
ed her to bo guarded, and in that inde
finable but unerring system of feminine,
telegraphy called hor attention to tho
man sil ting by tho door. Looking nuiek
ly to her right, Miss Renwick saw that
ho was intently regarding her. At tho
mention of Furt Sibley tho stranger had
lowered his paper, revealing a bronzed
face clean shaven except for tho thick
blond niustaeho nud a pair of clear,
steady, searching bluo eyes under heavy
brows and lashes, and these eyes wero
very deliberately yot respectfully fixed
upon her own, nor wero they withdrawn
in proper confusion when detected. It
was Miss Renwick whoso eyes gavo up
tho contest and returned in some sense
of defeat to ber mother's face.
"What letter havo you for tho colo
nel?" asked Mrs. Maynard, coming ail
Bocours.
"Three two of them from his do
voted henchman, Captain Chester, who
writes by every mail, I should imagiuo,
and those ho will go off into somo so-,
eluded nook with and como baek look
ing bluo and worried. Then here's an
other, forwarded from Sibley too. I do
not know this hand. I'orhaps it Is from
Captain Armitago, who, they say, is to
como baek next month. Poor Mr. Jer
rold!" "Why poor Mr. Jerrold?" asked Aunt
Grace, with laughing interest, ns she
noted tho expression on her niece's pret
ty face.
"Because ho can't bear Captain Armi
tage, and"
"Now, Alice," said her mother re
provingly, "you must not take his view
"Sow, Alloc," until her mother, "imniiust
net take Mh view of the captain."
of tho captain at all. Remember what
the colonel said of him"
"Mother," protested Alice, laughing,
"I havo no doubt Captain Armitago
Is tho paragon of a soldier, but he is un
questionably a most unpleasant and un
gcutlemanly person in his conduct to
the young officers. Mr. Hall has told mo
tho siuuo thing. I declare, I don't seo
how thoy can spoak to him at all, ho
has been so harsh and discourteous and
unjust. " Tho color was rising in earnest
now, but a warning glanco in her moth
er's eye seemed to chock further words.
Thero was an instant's silence. Then
Aunt Graco romarked:
"Alice, your next door neighbor has
vanished. It think your vehemence has
frightened him."
Surely ouongh, the big, bluo eyed
man in tweeds had diHappcared. During
this brief controversy he had quickly
and noiselessly let himself out of tho
open door, swung lightly to tho ground
and was out of sight among the trees.
"Why, what a straugo proceeding!"
said Aunt Graco again. "We aro fully
a milo and a half from tho hotel, and
he means to walk it in this glaring sun. "
Evidently ho did. Tho driver reined
np at tho moment in responso to a sug
gestion from some one in a forward seat,
and thero suddenly appeared by tho way
side, striding out from tho shelter of tho
mmacs, tho athletio figuro of tho
stranger.
"Go ahead!" he called in a dcop
chest voice that had an unmistakable
ring to it tho tono .that ono so readily
recognizes in men accustomed to prompt
action and command. "I'm going across
lots. " And swinging his heavy stick,
with quick, elastic stops and erect car
riage, tho man in gray plunged into a
wood path and was gono.
"Alice," said Aunt Grace again,
"that man is an oflicor, I'm sure, and
you havo driven him into exilo and
lonely wandering. I've seen so much of
them when visiting my brother ill the
old days beforo my marriago that even
in civilian dress it is easy to tell some
of thom. Just look at that baok and
thoso shoulders! Ho bus been a soldier
all his life. Horrors! Suppose it should
be Captain Armitago himself!"
Miss Renwick looked genuinely dis
tressed as well as voxed. Certainly no
officer but Captain Armitago would
havo had reason to leave the stago. Cer
tainly officers and their families occa
sionally visited Sablon in the summer
time, but Captain Armitago could hard
ly be hore. Thero was comforting as
suranco in tho very note she held in hor
hand. ,
"It cannot bo," she said, "becauso
Mr. Jerrold writes that they havo just
hoard from him nt Sibley. Ho is still
at tho seashore and will not return for
a month. Mr. Jerrold says ho implored
Captain.Chester to lot him havo three
days' leave to como down here and havo
a sail and a picnic with us aud was told
that it would bo out of the question."
"Did he tell you any other news?"
asked Mrs. Maynard, looking up from
her letter again, "anything about tho
german?"
"Ho says ho thinks it a shame we aro
to bo away and well, read it yourself. "
And she plnccd it in her mother's
bands, the dark eyos sorionsly, anxious
ly studying her face as she read. Pres
ently Mrs. Maynard laid it down and
looked into her own; thon, pointing to
a certain passage with her finger, hand
ed it to her daughter.
"Men were deceivers ever," sho said,
laughing, yetoracularly significant-
i3L
And Alico Kanwick could not quite
control tho start with which sho read:
"Mr. Jerrold 4s to lead with his old
love, Nina Beaubien. They make a cap
ital pair, and sho of course will bo radi
ant with Alice out of tho way. "
"That is something Mr. Jerrold failed
to mention, is it not?"
Miss Renwick's cheeks wero flushed,
nnd tho dark eyes wire filled with sud
den pain as sho answered:
"I did not know sho was thero. Sho
was to havo gono to tho lakes the same
day wo left."
"Sho did go.Alice," said her mother,
"but it was only for a brief visit, it
seems."
Tho colonel was not at their cottago
when tho omnibus reached tho lake.
Over at tho hotel wero tho usual num
ber of loungers gathered to seo tho new
arrivals, aud Alice presently caught
sight of "tho colonel coming through tho
park. If anything, ho looked moro list
less and dispirited than ho had beforo
they left Sho ran down tho steps to
meet him, smiling brigktly up into his
worn and haggard face.
"Aro you feeling a littlo brighter,
papa? Hero are letters for you. " IIo
took them wearily, barely glancing at
tho superscriptions.
"I had hoped for something more,"
ho said and passed on into tho littlo
frame houso which was his sister's sum
mor home. "Is your mother here?" ho
asked, looking back as ho entered tho
door.
"In tho north room, with Aunt
Grace, papa," sho answered, and then
once moro nnd with graver i'aco she be
gan to read Mr. Jerrold'a letter. It was
a careful study sho was making of it
this time, and not altogether rt pleasant
one. Aunt Grace came out and mado
somo laughing remark at seeing her still
so occupied. Sho looked up, pluckily
smiling despite a souso of wounded
pride, and answered:
"I am only convincing myself that it
was purely on general principles that
Mr. Jerrold seemed so anxious I should
bo thero. Ho never wanted mo to lead
with him nt all." All tho samo it
stung, and Aunt Grace saw and knew
it and loliged to take her to her heart
and comfort her, but it was better so.
Sho was fiuding him out unaided. -
Sho was still studying over portions
of that ingenious letter when tho rus
tle of her aunt's gown indicated that
she was rising. Sho saw her movo to
ward tho steps, heard a quick, firm
tread upon tho narrow planking and
glanced up in surprise. Thero, uncov
ering his closo cropped head, stood tho
tall stranger, looking placidly up as ho
addressed Aunt Grace:
"Pardon mo, can I seo Colonel May
nard?" "IIo is at home. Pray como up and
take a chuir. I will lot him know. I I
felt sure you must bo somo friend of his
Vhen I saw you in tho stago, " said tho
good lady, with manifest and apologctio
uneasiness.
"Yes," responded tho stranger as ho
quickly ascended tho steps and bowed
beforo hor, smiling quietly tho whilo.
"Let mo introduco myself. I am Cap
tain Armitago of the colonel's regi
ment." "There! I know it!" was Aunt
Grace's responso as, with both handsip
lifted in trngio despair, she gave ono
horror stricken glanco at Alico and
rushed into tho houso.
There was a moment's silonco. Then,
with burning cheekn, but with grave
eyos that looked frankly into his, Alice
Renwick arose, camo straight up to hint
aud held out her hand.
"Captain Ar;nitage, I beg your par
don." He took tho extended hand and gazed
earnestly into her face, whilo a kind
almost merry srnilo lighted up his
own.
"Havo tho boys given mo such an
uncanny reputation as all that?" ho
asked, nnd thon, as though tickled with
tho comicality of tho situation, ho bo
gan to laugh. "What ogres somo of us
old soldiers do becomo in tho courso of
years! Do yon know, yonng lady, I
might never havo suspected what a bruto
I was if it had not been for you? What
a blessed thing it was tho colonel did
not tell you I was coming! 'You would
never hae given mo this truo insight
into my character. "
But sho saw nothing to laugh at nud
would not laugh. Her lovely faco was
still burning with blushes and dismay
and full of trouble.
"I do not look upon it lightly at all, "
sho said. "It was unpardonable in mo
to to"
"To tako so effective nnd convincing
a method of telling a man of his griev
ous sins! Not a bit of it I liko a girl
who has tho conrago to stand up for her
friends. I shall congratulate Jerrold and
Hall both when I get back, lucky fel
lows that they are I" And evidently Cap
tain Armitago was deriving altogether
too much jolly entertainment from her
awkwardness. Sho rallied nnd strove to
put r.ii end to it
"Indeed, Captain Armitago, I do
think tho young officers sorely need
friends and advocates at times. I never
would have knowingly spoken to you of
your personal responsibilities in the
woes of Mr. Jerrold and Mr. Hall, but
since I havo done so unwittingly I may
us well dellno my position, especially us
you are so good uatured with it all."
And here, it must bo admitted, Miss
Renwick's beautiful eyes wero shyly
lifted to his in a most tolling way. Onco
thero, they looked squarely into tho
clear bluo depths of his nnd nover
flinched. "It scorned to mo several
times at Sibley that the young officers
deserved moro consideration and cour
tesy than their captains accorded them.
It was not you alono that I heard of."

BEAUTY AND KNOWLEDGE.

Now that tho chief questions in regard
to thu higher education of women havo
been settled thuro aro several minor points
which, trilling as thoy may seam to bo,
aro yet worthy of consideration, and ono
of these is this: Is intellect ual development

sonal attractions, or, if they are too mark
ed to bo entirely concealed, by showing
them to as great a disadvantage as possl-

somo of our cleverest women proceed on
tho assumption that beauty and knowl

livo together, and since these women aro
so intellectual undiavo studied so much
they must huvo somo unanswerable argu
ment to support tho theory, although they
have not taken the trouble to udvanoe it.
A seeming Inconsistence lies in tho fact
that tho sumo women mlmiro without a
qualm of conscience beauty in a work of
art, a plant or a landscape. They will take
pains to hang a picture in the best light,
place a (lower in a vaso which sets off its
loveliness and direct their friondB' atten
tion to some particularly picturesque phase
of a familiar view. Why is not personal
beauty to bo equally appreciated?
This sort of self Immolation on the altar
of scionce has been a grievance with tho
laity, especially moil, for many years, nnd
no doubt is an influence, although possibly
a small one, toward the continuance of
that illogical prejudice against the culti
vation of a girl's intellect which clings so
tenaciously to existence. We like to seo

Vory Improbable.
"In early days," remarked Mr. Barnard,
"an old fellow numcd Bennett came to
Butte county from Kentucky, and when I
was a boy I often heard him tell with all
earnestness a story that he believed to be
truo. IIo said that when a young man be
lived in Virgiuia, and as stores were scarce
it was customary for farmers to cut scythe
handles from the woods. Thoy would select
a very crooked sapling and trim it up to
suit their purpose. By some misfortune
he broke u scythe handle nnd went in search
of a new one. At lost he found a little,
weakly tree that was crooked, and in n few
minutes hud cut it down nnd trimmed it
up. When trimmed it was so crooked that
it refused to lie still, and began to roll end
over eud.
"Bennett tried to stop it, but it eluded
him and passed out of siijlit. Twenty
years later he emigrated to Kentucky, and
while out in the woods one day he heard a
peculiar uotso iu the underbrush near him.
Going in the direction from which it came
ho discovered the scytho handle, worn
down to one-fourth its original size, still
rolling. It had crossed the Allegheny
mountains and was on its way toward the
Mississippi river. The old man protested
to the day of his death thut the story was
absolutely true, and would grow angry if
any one doubted it." ban 1 rancisco Call.
rtonmn London.
It is impossible to determine exactly the
sito of tho London forum; it is only prob-
ubla thnt there must have been one. We
may, however, infer from evidence too de
tailed aud minute to enter upon here, that
tho forum stood upon tho oldest part of
Koman Loudon, viz., south of Corn bill
aud cost of the Mansion Houso. It is by
no means certain that tnerc was a forum.
But an inscribed tiki seems to show that
tho seat of government of the province was
at London. Those, however, who consider
tho hitter importance of lltimuu Loudon
can hardly behove that it had no publio
buildings. At first an insignificant town,
although a port of some trade, for moro
than two centuries itcontrolcd the exports
and imports of the entire Island. Its
wharves were tilled with animation, its
harbor with ships of burden. All the
authorities point to London as a center of
commercial activity. Wultor Uesant In
