CHAPTER XIV.
Tuesday and the day of the long pro
jected german Lad come, and if ever a
lot of garrison people were wishing
theinelve3 well out of a Carry it was
the social cirole at Sibley. Invitations
had been sent to all tho prominent peo
ple in town who had shown any interest
in the garrison since the regiment's ar
rival; beautiful favors had been pro
cured; an elaborate supper had been pre
pared, the ladies contributing thoir
efforts to tho salads and other solids,
the officers wisely confining thoir dona
tions to the wines. It was rumored
that, new and original figures were to
be danced, and much had been said
about this foature in town, and much
speculation had bcou indulged in, but
the Bcoubion residence had been closed
ttntil the previous day. Nina was away
with her mother and beyond roach of
question, and Mr. Jerrold had not
shown his face in town since her de
parture. Nor was ha accessible whon visitors
Inquired at the fort They had never
known suoh mysterious army people in
their lives. What on earth could induce
them to be so close mouthed about a
mere german? One might suppose they
had something worth concealing, and
presently it became noised abroad that
there was genuine cause for perplexity,
and possibly worse.
To begin with, every one at Sibley
now knew something of the night ad
venture at the colonel's, and as no one
could give the true statement of the
oaso the stories in circulation were
gorgeous embellishments of the actual
facts. It would be useless, even if ad
visable, to attempt to reproduce these
wild theories, but never was army gar
rison so tumultuously stirred by the
whirlwind of rumor. It was no longer
denied for an instant that tho absence of
the colonel and his household was the
direot result of that night's discoveries,
and when, to Mrs. Hoyt's inexpressible
relief, there came a prettily worded note
from Alice on Monday evening inform
ing her that neither the colonel nor her
mother felt well enough to return to
Silbey for tho german, and that she her
golf preferred not to leave her mother
at a time, when she neodod her care,
Mrs. Hoyt and her intimates, with
whom she instantly conferred, decided
that there could bn no doubt whatever
that the colonel knew of the affair, had
forbidden thoir rotnm and was only
waiting for further evidence to decido
what was to bo done with his erring step
daughter. Women talked with bated
breath of tfie latest stories in circula
tion, of Chester's moody silence and
preoccupation, of Jerrold's ostracism
and of Frank Armitage's sudden return.
1 Oil Monday morning the captain had
quietly appeared in uniform at the of
jfioo, and it was known that he had re
linquished tho remainder of his leave of
absence and resumed command of his
company. Thoro were men in the garri
son who well knew that it was because
of the mystery overhanging the colonel's
household tfiat Armitago had so sudden
ly returned. They asked no questions
and sought no explanation. All men
marked, however, that Jerrold was not
nt the office on Monday, and many curi
ously looked at tho morning report in
th adjutant's office No, he was not in
'arreifc Neither was he on sick report
iJ was marked present for duty, and
yet he was not at tho customary assem
bly of all the commissioned officers at
headquarters. More mystery, and most
exasperating, too, it was known that
Armitago and Jerrold had held a brief
talk in tho latter's quarters soon after
Sunday's evening parade and that the
iformer had been re-enforced for a timo
jby Captain Chester, with whom ho was
afterword closetod. Officers who heard
that ho had suddenly returned and was
at Chester's went speedily to tho latter's
'quarters at least two or three did and
were met by a servant at tho door, who
said that the gentlemen had just gone
but the baok way. And, sure enough,
neither Chester nor Armitago oame
homo until long after taps, and then
the colonel's cook told several poople
that the two gentlemen had spont over
en hour up stairs in the colonel's and
iMias Alice's room and "was foolin
wound tho house till near 10 o'clock."
Another thing that added to the ffitmo
of speculation and ouriosity was this.
Two of the ladies, returning from n
Jnoonlit stroll on the terrace just after
tattoo, came through tho narrow pas
sageway on the west sido of tho colonel's
Cnartora, and there, at tho foot of tho
little flight of steps loading up to tho
parade, they camo suddenly upon Cap
tain Chester, who was evidently only
tuoderatoly pleased to see them and nerv
ously anxious to expedite their onward
movement With the perversity of both
sexes, however, they stopped to chat
and inquire what ho was doing there,
and in the midst of it all a faint light
gleamed on tho opposito wall, and the
reflection of tho curtains in Alico Ren
wick's window was distinctly visible
Then a sturdy masculino shadow ap
peared, and there was a rustling above,
and then, with exasperating, mysterious
uud epigrammatic terseness, a deop voice
propounded tho utterly sensoless ques
tion: "How's that?"
To which, in great embarrassment,
Cheater ropliod:
."Hold on a minuto. I'm talking
with some interested spectators."
Whoroat the shadow of the big man
hot oat of sight, and the ladies found
that it was useless to remain thore
would be no further developments so
long . as they did and so they came
eway, with many a lingering backward
look. "But tho idea of asking such a
fool questioB as 'How's that?' Why
Couldn't the man say what he meant?"
1 It was gathered, however, that Armi
tage and Cliestor had been making some
(experiments that bore in some measure
Ion the mystery. And all this time Mr.
Jerrold was in his quarters, only a
Itono's throw away. How interested
ho must havo been 1
But while the garrison was .relieved
lARLJtS
at knowing that Alice Reuwiek would
not be on hand for tho germau, mid it
was being fondly hoped she might never
return to the post, there was still an
other grievous embarrassment How
about Mr. Jerrold?
Ho had beeu asked to lend when tho
german was first projected and had ac
cepted. That was fully two weeks bo
fore, and now no ono knew just what
ought to bo dono. It was known that
Nina Beaubieu had returned on tho pre
vious day from a brief visit to tho upper
lakes, and that sho had a costume of
ravishing beauty in which tooarry deso
lation to the hearts of tho garrison
belles in leading that german with Mr.
Jerrold. Old Mine. Beaubieu had been
reluctant, said her city friends, to re
turn at all. Sho heartily disapproved of
Mr. Jerrold and was bitterly set against
Nina's growing infatuation for him. But
Nina was headstrong and determined.
Moreover, sho was far moro than a
match for her mother's vigilance, and
it was known at Sibley that two or
three times tho girl had been out at tho
fort with the Buttons aud other friends
wheu the old lady believed her in quar
ters totally differeut.
Cub Sutton had confided to Captain
Wilton that Mme. Beaubien was in to
tal ignorance of tho fact that there was
to be a party at tho doctor's tho night he
had driven out with Nina and his sis
ter; that Nina had "pulled tho wool
over her mother's eyes" and niado her
beliovo sho was goiug to spend tho even
ing with friends in town, naming a
family with whom the Beaubiens were
intimate. A long drive always made
tho old lady sleepy, aud as she had ac
companied Nina to the fort that after
noon sho went early to bed, having so
cured her wild birdling, as she suppos
ed, from possibility of further meetings
With Jerrold For nearly a week, said
Cub, Mme. Beaubien had dogged Nina
so that she could not get a moment
with the man with whom she was evi
dently so smitten, and tho girl was al
most at her wits' end with seeing the
depth of his flirtation with Alico Ron
wick and the knowledge that on tho
morrow her mother would spirit her off
to the cool breozes and blue waves of
tho great lake. Cub said sho so worked
on Fanny's feelings that they put up
the suheino together and mado him
bring them out Gad, if old Maman
only found it out, thero'd be no moro
germana for Nina I Sho'd ship her off
to the cood Sisters ntCrovc-Ca;ur and
Slap her into a convent and leave all
her money to the church.
And yet, said city society, old Ma
man idolized her beautiful daughter
and could deny her no luxury or indul
gence. Sho dressed her superbly, though
with a somewhat barbario taste, where
Nina's own good sense and eastern
teaching did not interfere What sho
feared was that tho girl would fall in
lovo with sorao adventurer or what
was quito as bad somo army man who
would carry her darling away to Ari
zona or other inaccessible spot. Her
plan was that Nina should marry hero
at home somo ono of tho staid young
merchant princes rising into promineuco
in tho western metropolis, and from tho
very outset Nina had shown a singular
infatuation for tho buttons and straps
and music and heaven knows what all
out at tho fort. She gloried in seeing
hor daughter prominent in all scenes of
social life. Slip, rejoiced in her triumphs
and took infinite pains with nil prepa
rations. Sho would havo set her foot against
Nina's simply dancing tho german at
tho fort with Jerrold as a partner, but
sho oould not resist it that tho papers
should nnnouuee on Sunday morning
that ' tho event of the season at Fort
Sibley was tho german given last Tues
day night by tho ladies of tho garrison
aud led by tho lovely Mi:;s Beaubien"
with Lioutenaut or Captain Anybody.
Therowcro a dozen bright, graceful,
winning women nmong tho dames and
damsols at the fort, and Alice llenwick
was a famous beauty by this timo. It
was moro than Maman Beaubien could
withstand that her Nina should "lead"
all theso, aud so hor consent was won.
Back they camo from Chcquamcgon, and
tho stately homo on Summit nvenuo re
opened to rcoeivo them. It was Monday
noon when they returned, and by 3
o'clock Fanny Sutton had told Nina
Beaubien what sho knew of tho won
derful rumors tliatwcro floating In from
Sibley. She was more t han half disposed
to bo in lovo with Jerrold herself. Sho
expected a proper amount of womanly
horror, incredulity and indignation, but
she was totally unprepared for tho out
burst that followed. Nina was trans
formed into a tragedy mcen on the in
stant, and poor, simplo hearted, foolish
Fanny Sutton was almost scared out of
her small wits by tho iiro of denuncia
tion and fury with which her story was
greeted. , Sho came homo with white,
frightened face and limited up Cub and
told him that sho had been telling Nina
somo of the queer things tho ladies had
been saying about Mr. Jerrold, and
Nina almost toro her to pieces, and
could ho go right out to the fort to soo
Mr. Jerrold? Nina wanted to send a
note at once, and if ho couldn't go sho
had mado hor promise that sho would
get somebody to go instantly and to
come baok and let her know beforo 4
o'clock.
Cub. was always glad of an excuse to
go out to the fort, but a coldness hud
sprung up betweou him and Jerrold.
Ho had hoard tho ugly rumors in that
mysterious way in which all such things
aro hoard, and while his shallow pate
could not quite conceive of such a'mou
strous scandal, aud ho did not boliovo
half ho hoard, .ho sagely felt that iu tho
presence of so much smoke thore was
surely some fire ,and avoidod the man
from whom he had been inseparable
Of course ho bad not spoken to him on
the subjoct, and, singularly enough,
this was the case with all tho officers at
tho post except Armitage and the com
mander It was understood that the
matter was in Chester's hands, to do
with as was deemed best It was believ
ed that liia resignation had been tender
ed, and all these 48 hours sinco tho sto
ry might bo said to bo fairly beforo tho
publio Jerrold had becu left much to
himself and was presumably iu tho
depths of dismay.
Olio or two mon, urged by thoir wives,
who thought it was really time some
thing were dono to let him understand
ho ought not to lead tho gorman, had
gone to see him and been refused admis
sion. Asked from within what they
wanted, the reply was somewhat diffi
cult to frame and in both cases resolved
itself into "Oh, about tho german," to
which Jerrold's voico was heard to say:
"The germau's all right. I'll lead if
I'm well enough and am not bothered
to death meantime. But I've got somo
private matters to at tend to and am not
seeing anybody today." And with this
answer they wero fain to bo content. It
had been settled, however, that tho offi
cers wero to tell Captain Chester at 10
o'clock that in their opinion Mr. Jer
rold ought not to bo permitted to attend
so long as this mysterious chargo hung
over him, and Mr. Rollins had been no
tified that ho must be ready to lend.
Poor Rollins 1 Ho was insoro perplex
ity. Ho wanted nothing hotter than to
dance with Nina Beaubien. Ho won
dered if sho would lead with him or
would even como at nil when sho letiru
ed that Jerrold would bo nnablo to at
tend. "Sickness" was to bo tho ostensi
ble causo, and iu tho youth and inno
cence of his heart Rollins never sup
posed that Nina would hear of all tho
other assignable reasons. IIo meant to
rido in and call upon her Monday even
ing; but, as ill luck would havo it, old
Sloat, who was officer of tho day, stop
ped on a round pebblo as ho was going
down tho long flight to tho railway sta
tion aud sprained his ankle Just at 5
o'clock Rollins got orders to relievo him
and was returning from tho gnurdhouso
when who should como driving in but
Cub Sutton, and Cub reined up and
asked whero ho would be opt to find
Mr. Jerrold.
"Ho isn't well and has been denying
himself to all callers today," said Rol
lins shortly.
"Well, I'vo got to seo hiin or at least
got a noto to him, "said Cub. "It's
from Miss Beaubien and requires an an
swer. "
"You know the way to his quarters,
I presume," said Rollins coldly. "You
havo beeu thero frequently. I will havo
a man hold your horso, or you can tie
him there at the rail, just as you pleaso. "
"Thanks. .I'll go over, I believe"
And go he did, and poor Rollins was
unable- to resist the temptation of watch
ing whether the mugio name of Nina
would open tho door. It did not, but he
saw Cub hand in tho little noto through
tho shutters, and ere long thero came
another from within. This Cub stowed
iu his waistcoat pocket and drove off
with, aud Rollins walked jealously
homeward. But that evening ho went
through a worso experience, and it was
tho last blow to his budding passion for
sparkling eyed Nino.
It was nearly tattoo and a dark night
when Chester suddenly camo in.
"Rollins, you remember my telling
you I was snro some of tho men had
been getting liquor in from tho shoro
down below tho station and 'running it'
that way? I beliovo wo can nab tho
smuggler this evening. Thoro's a boat
down thero now. The corporal has just
told mo."
Smuggling liquor was ono of Ches
ter's honors. IIo surrounded the post
with a cordon of sentries who had no
higher duty apparently than that of
preventing tho entrance of alcohol in
any form. Ho had run a "red cross"
crusade against tho post trader's storo in
tho mutter of light wines nnd small
beer, claiming that only adulterated
stuff was sold to tho men and forbid
ding tho salo of anything stronger than
"pop" over tho trader's counter. Then,
when it hecamo apparent that liquor
was being brought on tho reservation,
he mado vigorous efforts to breakup
tho practice. Colonel Maynard rather
poohpoohed the wholo business. It was
his theory that a man who was deter
mined to havo a drink might better bo
allowed to tuko an honest ono, coram
publico, than a smuggled and delete
rious article, but ho succumbed to tho
rulo that only "light wines nnd boor"
should bo sold nt the storo and was lo
nieut to tho poor devils who overloaded
and deranged their stomachs in conso
quence. But Chester no sooner found
himself in command than ho launched
into tho crusndo with redoubled energy
and spent hours of tho day and night
trying to capture invaders of tho reser
vation with a bottlo in their pockets.
Tho bridge was guarded, so was tho
crossing of tho Clondwater to tho south,
and so wero tho two roads entering
' from tho north and west, and yet thero
was liquor coming m, nnd as though
"to give Chester a benefit" sonic of tho
men in barracks had a royal old spree
on Saturday night, and t!iu captain
sorer headed than any of tho partici
pants in consequence. In somo way lit

glers. IIo felt in Eomo vague nnd unsat

fraught with ill omen.

steps mado no noise in the yielding sand,
and all was Eileno savo for tho clash of
tho waters along tho shores. Far down
tho river wero tho reflections of one or
two twinkling lights, and closo uudor
tho bank in tho slack water a few stars
were peeping at their own images, but
no boat was thero, and tho captain led
still farther to a little copse of willow,
and thero in tho shadows, suro enough,
was a rowboat, with a littlo lantern
dimly burning, half hidden in tho stern.
Not only that, but as they halted fit
tho edgo of tho willows the captain put
forth a warning hand and cautioned Bi
lence. No neod. Rollins' straining eyes
wero already fixed on two figures that
were standing in tho shadows not 10 feet
away ono that of a tall, slender man,
the other a young girl. It was a mo
ment before Rollins could recognize
either, but in that momont the girl had
turned suddenly, had thrown her arms
about tho neck of tho tall young man,
Thcrjlrl had thrown hcrurms about Vie
neck of the tall young nuti.
and with her head pillowed on his
breast was gazing up ill his face.
"Kiss me once moro, Howard. Then
I must go," they heard her whisper.
Rollins seized tho captain's sleeve and
strove, sick at heart, to pull him back,
but Chester stoutly stood his ground.
In tho few seconds more that they re
mained they saw his arms more closely
iufold her. They saw her turn at tho
brink, aud in an utter abandonment of
rapturous, passionate lovo throw her
arms again about his Meek and stand on
tiptoe to reach his faco with her warm
lips. They could not fail to hear tho
caressing touo of her every word or to
mark his receptivo but gloomy sileuco.
They could not mistake tho voice, the
form, shadowy though it was. Tho girl
was Nina Beaubien and tho man beyond
question Howard Jerrold.
They saw him hand her into tho light
skiff and hurriedly kiss her good night
Once again, as though she could not
leave him, her arms were thrown about
his nock, aud she clung to him with all
her strength. Then the littlo boat swung
slowly out into tho stream, tho sculls
wero shipped, nnd with practiced hand
Nina Beaubien pulled forth into tho
swirling waters of tho river, and the
faint light, lileo slowly setting star,
floated downward with the sweeping
tido and finally disappeared beyond tho
point
Then Jerrold turned to leave, and
Chester stepped forth and confronted
him:
"Mr. JeMold, did I not instruct you
to confine yourself to your quarters un
til satisfactory explanation was mado of
tho abseucos with which you are charg
ed?" Jerrold started at tho abrupt and un
looked for greeting, but his answer was
prompt:
"Not at all, sir. You gave me to un
derstand that I was to remain hore
not to leave tho post--uutil you had do
cided on certain pdluts, and though I
do not admit the justice of your conrso,
nnd though you havo put mo to grave
Inconvenience, I obeyed tho order. I
needed to go to towu today on urgent
business, but between you and Captain
Armitago am iu no condition to go. For
nil this, sir, thero will como proper ret
ribution when my colonel returns. And
now, sir, you aro spying upon me spy
ing, I say and it only confirms what I
said of you before,"
"Silence, Mr. Jerrold! This is insub
ordination." "I don't care a d n what it is, sir!
Thero is nothing contemptuous enough
for mo to say of you or your conduct to
mo"
"Not anothor word, Mr. Jerorldl Go
to your quarters in arrest Mr. Rollins,
you aro witness to this language. "
But Rollins was not. Turning from
tho spot in blankncss of heart beforo a
word was uttered between thorn, ho fol
lowed tho waning light with eyes full
of yearning and trouble. Ho trudged
his way down along tho sandy shoro
until ho camo to tho silent waters of the
Blough and could go no farther, and then
ho sat him down and covered his faco
with his hands. It was pretty hard to
bear.
