what that could have had to do with

it would be a capital thing if you and

is always ready for anything that turns

Then Kenyou got a letter. He was
now commanding officer of the post, and
was unremitting in his thoughtf ulness
and attention to the house-holds of the
absent officers. It was Rolfe who wrote
to him, and Kenyon was well nigh at

Two days later the major bad the

whieh, however, they elid uot. It was

when thev were unloade-d from the

Rolfe, with Berrien's battalion, was
miles away.
Getting n reply to his missives and
little encouragement at the jost, the
strange civilian suddenly departed after
three days' apparently aimless stay, and
the next heard of him was in the shape
of a letter from Loul-ville. Could Major
Kenyou procure for him anyhow, any
where, a photograph of Sergeant Ellis?
No, Major Kenyon couldn't, and was
very short in saying so.
And now December was come, and
the air was crisp anel keen in the valley
of the Pawnee, the sunshine radiant and
fparkling; but far to the north the win
try winds were howling about the flimsv
cantonment ariel wldrling tfie anew
through every cranny and crack, and
the long nights on outpost and picket
were bitter cold. But through it all
the various battalions of horse were sent
scouting in turn around the reservation,
and more and more the young warnors
dribbled away from the agencies and
were next heard of welcomed with ac
clamations by the savage hosts in the
fastnesses of the Bad Lands, and every
hour increased the prospect of sharp
fighting in the near future. But all the
letters to the anxious hearts at home
were full i f hope and cheer, full of
prophecy that everything would soon be
settled. The rene-gade bands were all
"located" and being slowly heinuieid in.
The Twelfth would eat its Christmas
dinner at Pawnee after all, they hoped.
And in St. Louis Miss Guthrie was ex
erting herself to 6ee that her charming
guests were having the loveliest kind of
a time. Dinners, luncheons, cards, thea
ters and dancing parties followed in
quick succession. The new gowns wero
being made as fast as famous modistes
could evolve and constnict them, and
Winifred was rushed from one scene of
gayety to another.
Nothing could have been wore charm
ing than our welcome," wrote Mrs. Ber
rien to her be-loved Dick, "nothing me.re

what I call a genuine woman, and I liko

something I learned through her. The
day after our arrival we were iu tho

by a large portrait, apparently a crayon
copy of a photograph, that Lung over

handsome young man, and I knew at
once he must be a Guthrie. It is my
brother," said Nita, in such a f jl, con
strained tone, 'taken just a f.-w weeks
before his death six years ago. Of
course I could ask no more, but Wini
fred and I both neted how utte-rly he-r
face changed, how unspeakably dis
tressed a look came into her eyes. We
could see then why Mrs. Holden should
have said she was haggard and Ul, and
yesterday Mrs. Holde-n told me some
thing of his story. He was barely twenty-two,
the idol of the family and im
mensely popular iu society. He was as
sistant cashier in one of the big banks
here, and one day tho sudden disctvery
was made that in some mysterious way
quite a large sum was missing, money
for which he was responsible, but he
could net accor.ut for it; neither could
ouyboely else. The matter was investi
gated thoroughly.
"They had detectives everywhere, and
absolutely nothing could be brought up
against young Guthrie. He never gam
bleel, never elissijiated in any way, was
a model son and brother. Nita waa wild
with indignation at his having lieen
even suspected. Mr. Guthrie offered to
make good the sum twie-e ove-r if need
be, and to bind himse-lf for all his
wealth to establish his boy's honor, and
for three or four days all was excite
ment, and then, ia tho midst of it, Kor
Jack waa found dead in his room, a
half empty bottle of chloral by las bed
side. The world said suicide, guilty eon
science, etcetera, but Nita, and others
knew that he had not slept a wink since
the eliscovery of the loss ami was crazed
with misery. They have always main
tained it was an accidental overdose.
But it nearly broke Mr. Gnthrie-'s heart,
and it was three years lx-fore Nita would
go into society in St. Louis again. They
went to Eurepe and staid there ever so
long.
."What makes it seem probable that
he was pn justly susjiected was that tht
bank dismissed its cashier. Jack's mo?.t
intimate friend, a man two or thrt-e
years older than himself, aud a de-voted
admirer of Nita's. It was even sn;v
posed that sho was engaged to him.
lie had no wealthy friends to staud up
for him, and Jack's death made it ap
pear as theingh there had been gnilt;
and yet such a sum could not well have
been made away with except by the
knowledge or collusie.n of the cashier
himself, and though proofs we-re lack
ing, he was discharged the very day
poor Jack was buried. No one knows
whatever became of him afterward, ami
people setthnl down into the lie-lie f that
this Mr. Worden was tho real thief. But
now comes the Ftrangest part of it all.
The president of the bank was a widow
er who, for two years, had bee-n a suite.r
of Nita's, a persistent suitor, despite her
marke-d coldness and aversion. Femr
months ago rumors liegan to float as to
the stability of the bank; then came a
run, a panic; the bank had to close its
doors; immediate investigation into its
affairs was matle, and then e-ame the
discovery that the president had been a
heavy speculator and had unquestion
ably used the funds of the Kink to cover
Iris losses. They found his body in
the river four days afterward, floating
down by the old barracks, where j on
and I had such a happy winter twenty
years ago. Peeiple say now that it was
President Perciva! himself all the time.
Ituel that he threw suspicion on young
Guthrie because he knew the father
would eagerly pay any sum to cover tin
loss and hide the shame; but Jack's
death balked the scheme.
"Do you wonder now that Nita is
sometimes overwreinght and nervous?
Peior girl! who knows what she has suf
fered? Who, to see her in society. Would
dream that she had ever suffered at all?
Do yon suppose Captain Rolfe did not
hear all about this when ho was here en
recruiting service?
"Now you ask me to tell you every
thing about Winifred. Is she happy? Ls
she getting over her disappointment? I
do neit know just what to say. She is
always bright and apparently joyona ia
society; always grateful for every kind
ness and attention shown her; but she is
rarely alone one minute from morning
until late at night, and I cannot be .-are.
She never speaks of him; and in all the.
whirl of social gayety here, and tho at
tention she receives on every side, I
think, I hope, she may forget her girl
ish sentiment. Time will show."
Time might have shown, but time was
not accordenL Coming home late one
night from a delightful dance their car
riage stopped outside the massive porte
cochere of the Guthrie home-stead in
stead of driving right in.
"What is it, James?" asked Miss Guth
rie. Another carriage here, miss. I think
it's Mrs. Holden just getting oat."
"Jennie here! Why, how odd! She
we-nt hme half an hour beforo we
started."
It was Je-unie,with a grave, anxious
face, at sight of which Mrs. Berrien
f jiriy sprang from the carriage.
"You have ill news, Mrs. Hollen.
What is it? Te ll me at once."
"This h;is just ceime from my hus
band," was the trembling answer as sha
held forth a tele-gram: "Major Berrien's
wound serious, but not fatal. Mrs. Ber

My gram! daughter Kthel Moore

there is w ith tho ohl rider a cautious

same language: "I think a bicycle is

Lincoln and the Peach.
A yeiung lady sends to the Chicago
Tribune vl little anecdote of Abraham
Liue-eiln. She says that a good many
years ago, when her father was a small
lioy, her grandfather brought Abraham
Lincoln home eme night to supper. He
was then a poor young man practicing
law in Wood foul County, Illinois.
''It was a cohl, Mormy night, and
grandma hurrii-d around getting sup
per. To have something nice she
opened a jar ef preserved is-ae-he's.
Lincoln spe-iit a long time over his
peach, and finally left it em the plate.
' Iranilma noticed this, and as semii
as he and grandpa had gone into an
other room she went to ksik at the
dish. Then she saw that iuste-adeifa
peach she had given the visitor the
little muslin sack which contained the
pei.ch kernels and the spie-e. She
lit-teiiil into the other room anel U
gau an apology, but Mr. Lini-oln said ;
"That was all right, Mrs. Perry. My
moiher use-el the same thing, and it
was so gooel that I wanted to ge-t all
thejuieeout of it."

"Saved My Life"

"Several years ago, while in Fort
Snelling, Minn., I caught a severe

tint allowed me no rest day or
