THE SCBANTON TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 1. 1894. CHAPTER XV. Tuosd:vy still, and all manner of thing!) lnul huppi'iiud and wero still to huppuu iu tho hurrying hours that fol lowed Sunday night. The garrison woke at Tuesday's rovcillo iu much perturba tion of spirit, as has boon said, but by 8 o'clock and breakfast tinio ono cause of perplexity was at an end. Relief had come with Monday alteruoou and Alice Kenwick's letter saying she would not attend tho geriuan, and now still great er relief in the news that sped from mouth to mouth Lieutenant Jerrold wus iu close arrest. Armitago and Chester had teen again iu consultation Monday night, said tho gossips, and something new had been discovered no one knew just what and the toils had settled upon Jerrold's handsomo head, and now ho was to bo tried. A usual iu such cases, tho news camo iu through tho kitchen, and most oflieers beard it at the breakfast tablo from tho lips of their better halves, who could hardly find words to express their senti ments as to tho inability of their lords to explain thu new phase of the situa tion. When the first sergeant of Com pany 1J camo around to Captain Armi tago with tho sickbook soon after 0 iu tho morning the captain briefly direct ed him to transfer Lieutenant Jerrold on the morning report from present for duty to "in arrest," and no sooner was it known at the quarters of Company B than it bogau to work back to oilicers' row through tho medium of tho servants and strikers. It was tho solo topic of talk for a full hour. Many ladies who had intended going to town by tho early train almost periled their chances of catching tho samo iu their eagerness to hear further details. But tho shriek of tho whistlo far up tiio valley broke up tho group that was so busily charting and speculating over iu tho quadrangle, and with shy yet curious eyes the party of at least a doz en matrons and maids, wives or sisters of tlio officers .icnvried past tho dark ened windoTvsof Mr. Jerrold's quarters, and through tiie mysreriuus passago west of tho colonel's silent house, and down tho long stairs, just in timo to catch tlao train that whirled them away city ward almost ui soon as it had disgorged the morning's mail. Chatting and laugh ing and full of blithe anticipation of the glories oi! tho coming geriuan, in prepa ration for which most of their number had i'eund it necessary to run in for just au hour':; shopping, they went jubilant ly on their way. Shopping done, they would all meet, tako luncheon together at the Woman's Exchange, return to the po-.-t by tho afternoon train and havo plenty of time for a little nap before dressing for tho gcrmau. Perhaps tho most interesting question now tip for discussion was, Who would lead with Mr. Rollins? Tho train went pufiiiig into tho crowded depot, tho ladies has tened f'Tth and in a moment wero on the street, cubs and carriages were pass ed in disdain, a brisk walk of a block cr.rried the iu to the main thoroughfaro and into th'j heart of the shopping dis trict, a rush of hoofs and wheels and pe destrians there encountered them, and the roar assailed their sensitive and un accustomed cars, yet high above it all pierced end pealed tho shrill voices of the new; boys darting hero and thero with their eagerly bought journals. But wonieu bout on germans and shopping have timo and ears for no such news as that which demands tho publication of extras. Somo of them never hear or herd tho cry: "Indian massac.ro!" "Hero, y'are! All about tho killiu of Major Thornton an his sojers!" "Ex try! Lxtry!" , It is not until they reach the broad portals of tho great Stewart of tho west that one of their number, half incredu lously, buys a copy and reads aloud: "Major Thornton, th infantry, Cap tain Lnugham and Lieutenant Bliss, th cavalry, and 80 men aro killed. Captains Wright and Lano and Lieuten ants Willard and Brooks, th caval ry and some 40 moro men aro seriously wounded. Tho rest of tho command is corralled by an overwhelming force of Indians, and their only hope is to hold out until help can reach them. All troops along tho line of tho Union Pa cifio aro already under orders. " "Oh, isn't it dreadful?" "Yes, but aren't you glad it wasn't ours? Oh, look! There's Nina Beaubien over there in her carriage. Do lot's find out if she's going to lead with Rollins. " Vas victis ! Far out iu tho glorious park country iu tho heart of tho Cen tennial Stato a little band of blue coats sent to succor a periled agent is mak ing desperate stand against foarful odd9. Less than 200 men has the exalted wisdom of tho department sout forth through tho wilderness to find and, if need be, fight its way through five times its weight in well armed foes. Tho officers and men havo no special quarrel with those Indians, nor tho In dians with them. Only two winters bo foro, whou those samo Indians wero sick and starving, and their lying go be twecus, tho bureau employees, would give thorn neither food nor justice, a small band mado their way to the rail way and wore fod on soldier food and their wrongs righted by soldier justice. But another snarl has come now, and this time the bureau pooplo are in a pickle, and tho army ever between two fires at least, and thankful when it isn't six is ordered to send a little force and go out thero and help the agent main tain his authority. Tho very night be foro the column reaches the borders of the. reservation the leading chiefs oome in tamp to interview tho officers, shake hands, bag tobacco and try on their clothes, then go back to their braves and laugh as they toll thero are only a hand ful, and plan tho morrow's ambuscade and massacre. Vas victis I There are women and children among the garri sons along tho Union Paoiflo whose hearts havo little room for thoughts of germans in tho horror of this morning's tidings. But Sibley is miles and miles away, and, as Mrs. Wheeler says, aren't you glad it wasn't ours? Out at tho fort thero is a different scene. The morning journals and tho clicking telegraph send a thrill through out the whole command. Tho train has barely whistled out of sight when the ringing notes of officers' call resound through the quadranglo and over tho broader drill ground beyond. Wonder ing, but prompt, tho staid captains and eager subalterns como hurrying to head quarters, and tho baud, that had como forth and taken its station on tho pa rade, ull ready for guard mount, goes quickly back, whilo tho men gather in big squads along the shaded row of their quarters and watch tho rapid as sembly at tho offleo. And thero old Chester, with kindling eyes, reads to tho silent company tho brief official or der. Aye, though it be miles and miles away, fast as steam and wheel can tako it, tho good old regiment in all its sturdy strength goes forth to join tho rescue of tho imprisoned comrades far in tho Colorado Rockies. "Have your entire command in readiness for imme diate field servico in tho department of the Platte. Special train will bo thero to take you by noon at latest." And though many a man has lost friend and comrado iu tho tragedy that calls them forth, and though many a brow clouds for tho moment with tho bitter news of such useless sacrifice, every eyo bright ens, every muscle seems to brace, every uervo and pulso to throb and thrill with tho glorious excitement of quick assem bly and coming action. Aye, we aro miles and miles away. Wo leavo tho dear old post, with homes and firesides, wives, children and sweethearts, nil to tho caro of tho few whom sickness or old wounds or advancing years render unlit for hard, sharp inarching, and, thank God, we'll bo thero to tako a. hand and help those gallant fellows out of their "corral" or to have ono good blow at tho cowardly hounds who lured and lied to them ! How' tho "assembly" rings on tho morning air! How quick they spring to tho ranks, thoso eager bearded faces and trim bluoelad forms! How buoyant and brisk even the elders seem as tho cap tains speed over to their company quar ters and the quick, stirring orders aro given: "Field kits; all tho cooked ra tions you have on hand; overcoat, blanket, extra socks and underclothes; every cartridge you've got; haversack and canteen and nothing else. Now get ready lively!" How invpressiblo is tho cheer that goes up! How wo pity tho swells of tho light battery who have to stay! Howwistiul those fellows look, and how eagerly they ihruug about tho barracks, yearning to go, and, since that is denied, praying to bo of use iu some way! Small wonder is it that all tho bustlo and excitement penetrates tho portals of Mr. Jerrold's darkened quar ters, and tho shutters aro thrown open and his bandaged head comes forth. "What is it, Harris?" he demands of a light batteryman who is hurrying past. "Orders for Colorado, sir. Tho regi ment goes by special train. Major Thorn ton's command's been massacred, and there's a big light ahead." "My God! Here, stop one moment! Run over to Company B and seo if you can find my servant or Merrick cr somebody. If nut, you como back quick. I want to send a noto to Captain Armi tage." "I can tako it, sir. Wo'ro not going. Tho band and tho battery have to stay. " And Jerrold, with trembling baud and feverish haste, seats himself at tho samo deskwhenco oa that fatal morning he sent tho nolo that wrought such dis aster, and as ho rises anil hands his missivo forth, throwing wido opeu tho shutters as ho does so, his bedroom door Hies open, and a whirling gust of tho morning wind sweeps through from rear to front, and half a scoro of bills and billets, letters and scraps of paper, go ballooning out upon tho parade. "By heaven!" ho mutters, "that's how it happened, is it? Look at them go!" for going they were, in spiral ed dies or fluttering skips, up tho grassy "quad" and over among tho rose bushes of Alice Renwick's garden. Over on tho other sido of tho narrow, old fashioned frontier fort tho men wero bustling about, and their exultant, eager voices rang out on tho morning air. All was life and animation, and oven in Jerrold's selfish soul thero roso respon Bivo echo to iho soldiery spirit that seemed to pervade tho whole command. It was their first summons to activo field duty with prospective battlo since he had joinod, and with all his shortcomings as a "duty" officer in garrison and his many frailtios of oharacter, Jorrold was not tho man to lurk iu tho rear when thoro was danger ahead. It dawned on him with sudden and crushing force that now it lay in the power of his eno mies to do him vital injury; that he could be held here at tho post like a suspected felon, a mark for every fin ger, a target for ovory tongue, whilo ev ery othor offlcor of his regiment was hurrying with his mou to tako his knightly share in the coming onset. It was intolerable, shameful. Ho paced the floor of his littlo parlor iu nervous misery, ever and anon gazing from tho window for sight of his captain. It was to him he had written, urging that ho bo permitted a few moments' talk. "This is no timo for a personal misun derstanding," ho wrote. "I must see you at once. I can dear away the doubts, can explain my aotion; but, for heaven's sake, intercede for me with Captain Chester that I may go with the command." , As luck would havo it, Armitago was with Choster at tho ofilco whou tho let tor was handod in. He opened it, gave a whistlo of, surprise and simply held it forth to tho temporary commander. "Read than" he said. Chester frowned, but took the noto and looked it curiously over. "I have no patience with the man now, ' ' ho said. 'Of course, after what I saw last night, I begin to understand the nature of his defense, but we don't want any such man in tho regiment after this. What's tho uso of taking him with us?" "That isn't the point, " said Armi tago, "Now or never, possibly, is the time to clear up this mystery. Of ooui-se Maynard will bo up to join us by tho first train, and what won't it be worth to him to havo positive proof that all his fears were unfounded?" "Even if it wasn't Jerrold, there is still the fact that I saw a man clamber ing out of her window. How is that to bo cleared up?" said Chester gloomily. "That may como later and won't bo such a bugbear as yoit think. If yon are not worried into a morbid condition over nil this trouble, yon would not look so seriously upon a thing which I regard as a piece of mere night prowl ing, with a possiblo spieo of romance." "What romance, I'd like to know?" "Never mind that now. I'm playing detective for tho timo being. Let mo seo Jerrold for you and find out what ho has to offer. Then you can decide Aro you willing? All right! But ro member this while I think of it. You admit that tho light you saw on tho wall Sunday night was exactly liko that which you saw tho night of your adven turo, and that tho shadows wero thrown in tho same way. You thought that night that tho light was turned up and afterward turned out in her room, and that it was her figuro you saw at the window. Didn't you?" "Yes. What then?" "Well, I believo her statement that she saw and heard nothing until reveille. I believo it was Mrs. Maynard who did tho whole thing without Miss Ren wick's knowing anything about it." "Why?" "Becauso I accomplished tho feat with the aid of tho littlo night lamp that I found besido tho colonel's bedside. It is my theory that Mrs. Maynard was rostless after tho colonel finally fell asleep; that she heard your tumblo mid took hor littlo lamp, crossed over into Miss Renwick's room, opened tho door without creaking, as I can do to your satisfaction, found her sleeping quietly, but tho room a trifle close and warm, set her night lamp down on tho table, as I did, throw her shadow on tho wall, as I did, and opened tho shade, as you thought her daughter did. Then she withdrew and left thc! doors open both hers and her daughter's and tho light, instead of being turned down, as you thought, was simply carried back into her own room." "That is all possible But how about tho man in her room? Nothing was stolen, though money and jewelry wero lying around loose. If theft was not the object, what was?" "Theft certainly was not, and I'm not prepared to say what was, but I havo reason to believo it wasn't Miss Reuwick." "Anything to provo it?" "Yes, and, though timo is precious and I cannot show you, you may tako my word for it. Wo must bo off at noon, and both of us havo much to do, but thero may bo no other chance to talk, and beforo you leave this post I want yon to realize her utter innocence. " "I want to, Armitago." "I know you do, so look here. Wo assumo that the samo man paid tho night visit both here and at Sablon, and that ho wanted to see tho same person if ho did not como to steal; do wo not?" "Yes." "Wo know that at Sablon it was Airs. Maynard ho sought and called. Tho colonel says so. " "Yes." "Presumably, then, it was she not her danghter ho had some reasons for wanting to seo hero at Sibley. What is more, if ho wanted to see Miss Ren wick, thero was nothing to prevent his going right into her window?" "Nothing. " "Well, I believe I can provo he didn't. On tho contrary, that he went around by tho roof of tho porch to the colonel's room and tried there, but found it risky on account of tho blinds, and that finally ho entered the hall win dow what miu'ht be called neutral ground. The painters had been at work there, as you said, two days before, and tho paint on tho slats was not quite dry. Tho blinds and sills wero tho only things they had touched up on that front, it seems, and nothing on tho sides. Now, on the fresh paint of the colonel's slats aro tho new imprints of maseulino thumb and fingers, and on tho sill of tho hall window is a foot print that I know to be other than Jer rold's." "Why?" "Becauso ho doesn't own snob a thing as this track was mado with, and I don't know a man in this command who does. It was tho handiwork of tho Tonto Apaches and camo from tho other Sido of tho continent. " "You mean it was" "Exactly. Au Indian moccasin." Meautimo Mr. Jerrold had boon mak ing hurried preparations, as ho had fully determined that at any cost ho would go with tho regiment. Ho had been burning a uunibor of letters when Captain, Armitago knockod and hurried ly entered. Jerrold pushed forward a ch-"'r and plunged at once into the mat te u isiuo: .ioro is no timo to waste, captaiu. I i...vo sent to you to ask what I can do to bo released from nrrost and permitted to go with tho command. " "Answer tho questions I put toyon tho other uis-lit and certify to your an swers, and of course you'll havo toopol ogizo to Captain Chester for your last night's language." "That, of coarse, though you will ad mit it look 'd liko ripying. Now lot mo DIFFERENT TIMES bring different methods. The big, bulky pills such as our grandfathers hod to put up with won't do to-dny.
