But Rayner had already told his wife
Jost as Maj. Waldron was driving off
to the station that bright April after-
n oon, and hie carriage was whirling

with kindly interest, leaning out of his

"•Ay, ay, sir. flood -by."
"Good -by, Ilayne. God brew you. and

A little later that afternoon Mtn. Ray-
ner had occasion to go into her ouster's
room. It was almost suuset, and Nellie
had been 1 - . , t.e err

their packing, Mgrs. Rayner, tri became

Traver& as became the junior, doing all
the work. It wan rather trying to pack
all the trunks and receive visitors of
both sexes at odd hours. Some of her
garrison would have been
glad to come and help. but those whom
she would have welcomed were not
agreeable to the lady of the house, and
those the lady of the hone would have
chosen were not agreeable to her: The
relations between the slaters were some-
what strained and uunaturll, and had
been growing more and more so for sev-
eral days past. Mr. Rayner's desk was
already packed away. She wanted Lc

Opening it she drew. out .om.• paper
and envelopes, and with the latter came
an envelope sealed and threat.'». One
glance at its .up.'rncripuoc sent the blood
to her cheek and fire to her eye. Was it
puesible? Was it credible? Iler pet, her
baby sister, her pride and delight—until
she found her stronger in will—her proud

And when darkness settled down on
Fort Warrener that starlit April evening
and the first warm breeze from the south
came sighing about the . , and
one by one the lights appeared along of-
ficers' row. there was no light in Nellie
Traver' window. The little note lay in

was hiding her face in her pillow.
And yet it was a jolly evening after
all—that is. for some hours and for sows
people- As Mra. Rayner and her sister
were notion to go, probably by the mor-
row's train if their section could be se -
curd. the garrison had decided to have
an informal dance as a suitable farewell.

perture had come so suddenly and un -
that there was no time to

and rant of the cavalry ladies. on con-
sultation, had decided that it was the
very thing to do. and the young officers
took hold with a will: they were always
ready for a dance.

CHAPTER XV.
"TII 1d1 the first man who dares enter."
Straight as an arrow Mr. Blake had
sped across the parade. darted through
the east gate, and, turning, had arrived
breathless at the wooden porrh of
Hsynt's(!nar: r-. Two bewildered look-
ing nmrwbera of the guard were at the
door. Blake pushed his way through
the little hallway and into the dimly
lighted parlor, where a strange scene
met his eyes: Lieut. Hayne lay senseless
and white upon the lounge across the
room: a young and pretty woman. sin-
gularly like him in feature ate' in the
color of her abundant tresses, was kneel-
ing beside him. chafing his hands, un-
pioring him to speak—to look at her—
unmindful of the fact that her feet were
bare and that only a loose wrapper was
thrown over her white night dress; ('apt.
Rayner was seated in a chair. deathly
white, and striving to stanch the
blood that flowed from a deep gash
in his temple and forehead; he seemed
still stunned as by the force of the blow
that had felled him, and Buxton, speech-
less with amaze and heaven (only knows
what other emotion, was glaring at a
tall, athletic stranger who. in stocking
feet, undershirt and trousers. held by
three frightened looking soldier ani
covered by the carhiue o1 a fourth. was
hurling defiance and denuuciau,o at the
commanding officer. A revolver lay
upon the floor at the fret of a corporal of
the guard, who was grlarung in pain. A
thin veil of .. floated through
the room. As Blake leaped in—his cav-
alry wboulder knots and helmet cords
gleaming in the light—a flash of recol;-
nititwi shat into the strangers eyes, and
he curbed his fearful . and
stopped short in his wrath.

and the corporal were the sufferers.
They bad been knocked "endwise" by
Mr. Hurley's practiced fists after Ilayne
was struck down by the corporal's mus-
ket. It was the universal sentiment
among the officers of the —th as they
scattered to their homes that Buxton had
"wound himself up this time, anyhow;"
and no one had any sympathy for him—
not one. !ire very beat light in which he
could tell the story only showed the af-
fair as a flagrant and inexcusable out-
rage.
»'apt. Rayner. too, was in fearful
plight. He had simply obeyed orders:
but all the old story of his . .
of Ilayne would now be revived: all men
would see in his participation in the af-
fair only additional reawon to adjudge
him cruelly persistent in his hatred of
the young officer. and. in view of the
utter ruthlessness and wrong of tibia ao-
nault, would be more than ever confident
of the falsity of his position in the orig-
inal one. As he 'was slowly lel up
ntairn to Iia room and his tearful wife
and silent sister-in-law limited and
drawled his wound. he saw with fright-
ful clearness how the crush of circum-
