Seeing that Cram was looking about in search of a paper-cutter, the boy stepped forward and bent over the table. " "De lieutenarft always usesdis! suh," said he, lifting- first one paper, then another, searching under each. "Don't seem to be yer now, suh. You've seen it, dough, captain that cross-handled dagger wid the straight blade." "Yes. I know. Where is it?" asked Cram. "That'll do." "Tain't yer, suh. now. Can't find it yer, nohow." "Well. then. Mr. Waring probably took a knife, after all." "No, suh, I don't t ink so. I never knowed him to use it befa' away from de room." "Anybody else been here?" said Cram. "Oh! dey was all in yer, suh, dis aft ernoon, but Mr. I)oyL he was sent for. suh, and 'had to go. " A step and the rattle of a sword were heard on the gallery without. The door opened, and in came Merton of the infantry, officer of the day, "Hello, Waring!" he began. "Oh, it's you, is it, 'captain? Isn't Waring back? I saw the light, and came up to chin with him a moment. Beastly night, isnit it?" "Waring isn't back yet. I look for him bv the eleven-thirty ear," answered the captain. Why. that's in. Xo Waring there, Dut a half dozen poor devils half drowned and more'n half drunk, otie of your men among 'em. We had to put him into the guard-house to keep him from murdering Dawson, the head-quarters clerk. There's been some kind of a row." i . "Sorry to hear that. Who is the man?" "Kane, fie said Dawson was lying about his officer, and he wouldn't stand it." "Kane!" exclaimed Cram, rising, "why, he's one of our best, T never heard of his being riotous before." "He's riotous enough to-nicrht. He wanted to lick all six of our fellows. and if I hadn't got there when I did they would probably have kicked him into a pulp. All were drunk: Kane, too, I should say; and as for Dawson, he was just limp." V ould you mind coinjr down and letting me talk with Kane?

' A few minutes later the serceant of the guard threw open one of the wooden compartments in the guard-house, and there sat Kane,; his face buried in his hands. I ordered him locked in here bv himself, because I feared our fellows would hammer him if he were turned in with them," explained Mr. lerton. and at sound of the voice the pris oner looked up and saw his commander, dripping with wet. Unsteadily he rose to his feet. "Captain," he . beran. thickly "TVl never have done it in the World, sir but that blackguard was drunk, sir, and slandering my officer, and I gave him fair warning to quit or I'd hit him, but he kept on." - "e-es$ And What did he say?"

Diti you lock up the others, Mr. Merton?" he asked, as they turned away. "All, but Dawson, sir. t took him over to the hospital and put a sentry over him. That fellow looks to be verging on jimjams, and I wouldn't be surprised if he'd been talking as Kane says," Merton might have added, "and it's probably true," but courtesy to his battery friend forbade. Cram did add mentally something to the same effect, but loyalty to his arm of the service kept him silent. At the flag-staff the two officers stopped. " Morton, oblige me by saying noth ing as to t no alleged language about Doyle; will you?" "Certainly, captain. Good night." Then, as the officer of the day's lan tern flickered away in one direction, ara turned in the other, and pres ently, went climbing up the stairs to die gallery leading to the quarters ot lis senior first lieutenant. A dim light was shining .through the shutters. Cram knocked at the door; no answer. Opening it. he glanced in. The room was unoccupied. A cheap marine 3lock. ticking between the north win dows and the wash-stand, indicated .midnight.-and the battery commander turned away in vexation of spirit. Lieut. Doyle had no authority to be absent from the post. It was dark and storming, furiously when the bugles of the battery sounded the reveille, and by the light of the swinging lanterns the men marched away in their canvass stable rig, look ing like a column of ghosts. Yet, despite the gale and the . torrents of rain, Pierce was in no wise surnrised to find Cram at his elbow when the horses were led out to water. " Groom indoors this morning, Mr. Pierce. Is Waring home?" " No, sir; Ananias told me when he brought me up my coffee." Uokl the morning report, then, until I come to the office. I fear we have both first lieutenants, to report absent to-day. You and I may have to go to town: so get your breakfast early. We will ride. I doubt if even an ambulance could get .through. Tell me. Pierce, , have .you spoken to Waring u-uuub iiuoui, mat, matter we discussing? Has he ever eive: any idea that he had received warning of any kind from old Lascelles or any of his friends?" " No, sir. I've had no chance to speak, to be sure, and. so far as I could observe, he and Mr. Lascelles seemed on very excellent terms only a few days ago." "Well, I wish I had spoken myself." said Cram, and turned away. That morning; with two first lieu tenants absent without loav th t-. port of Light Dattery "X" went into the adjutant's office just as its com mander and his junior subaltern went! out and silently mounted the dripping horses standing in front. The two orderlies, with their heads poked through the slit of their ponchos, briskly seated themselves in saddle and then the colonel hurried forth just in time to hail: "Oh, Cram! one minute." And Cram reined about and rode to the side of the post commander, who stood under the shelter of the broad gallery. "I wouldn't say anything about this to anyone at headquarters except Reynolds. There's no one else on th stalf to whom .Waring would apply, is there?" ... . N o one, sir. Reynolds is man I can think of." "Will yon send an orderly back with word as soon as you know?" "Yes. sir, the moment I hear. And-d shall I send you word from there" and (ram nodded northward, and then, in a lower tone, "as to Doyle?" "Oh. damn Doyle! I don't care if he never" Hut here the commander of the post regained control of himself, and with parting wave of the hand turned back to his office. Riding single file up the levee, for the city road was one long pool, with the swollen river on their left, and the slanting torrents of rain obscuring all objects on the other hand, the party made its way for several squares with out exchanging a word. Presently the leading file came opposite the high wall of the Lascelles nlace. Th latticed gate stood open an unusual thing and both officers bent low over their pommels and gazed along the dark, rain-swept alley to the pillared portico dimly seen beyond. Not a soul was in sight. The water was already on a level with the banquette, and would soon be running across and into the gate. A vagabond dog skulking about the place gave vent to a mourn ful howl. A sudden thought struck the captain. lie led the way down the slope and forded across to the north side, the others following. - "Joyce." said he to his orderly, "dis mount and go in there and ring at the door. Ask if Mr. LaseelloK i 1, - uvuiu If not, ask if madame has any message she would like to send to town, or if we can be of any service." The soldier was gone but a moment, and came hurrying back, a negro boy! holding a long fold of matting over his head to shed the rain, chasing at hit h:cs- 11 was Alphonse. . "M'sieif not yet of return," said he in labored translation of his negro French, "and madame remain chez Mme. d'Hervilly. I am alone wiz my mudder, and she has fear." "Oh, it's all right, I fancy," said Cram, reassuringly. "They were caught by the storm, and wisely stayed Uptown. I saw TOUT erat.A nnan " - o " ovr moment. A nod to Fierce hrono-ht !him too from the saddle, and the officers-handed their reins to the order lies. Then together they entered the gate and strode up the white shell walk, looking euriously about them ithrough the dripping shrubbery.

Pierce would have' gone still farther in the investigation, but his senior held up a warning hand "Two men have been here," he mut tered. ."They have tried the door and tried the blinds. Where did you sleep last night, boy?" and with the words he turned suddenly on the negro " Did you hear no sound?" "No, sare. I sleep in my bed, 'way back. No, I hear noting, noting " And now the negro's face was twitch ing, his eyes staring: Something in the soldier's stern voice told him that there was tragedy in the air.

It is hardly worth while to waste time on the various theories advanced in the garrison as to the cause and means of the dreadful climax. That Doyle should be away from .the post provoked neither comment nor specu lation; he was not connected in any way with the tragedy. But the fact that Mr. Waring was absent all night, coupled with the stories of his devo tions .to madame, was to several minds prima facie evidence that his was the bloody hand that wrought the deed that he was now a fugitive from jus tice, and Mme.

An instant later Pierce heard him call Hastening in his wake, the youngster came upon his .-captain standing under a window, one of whose blinds was hanging partly open, water standing in pools all around him, : "Look here," was all he said, and ;pointea upward. The sill was above the level of their :heads, but both could see that the sash :was raised. All was darkness within. "Come with me," was Cram's next order, and the lieutenant followed. Alphonse was unlocking the front doori and now threw it open. Cram strode into the wide hall-way straight to a door of the east side. It was locked. "Open this, Alphonse," he said. "I have not the kev. It is ever with M sieu Lascelles. It is his library.? Cram stepped back, gave one vigor ous kick with a heavy riding-boot, and the frail door flew open with a crash. r or a moment the darkness was such tnat no oDject could be distinguished within. The negro servant hung back, trembling from some indefinable dread. The captain, his hand on the door-knob, stepped quickly into the gloomy apartment. Pierce close at his heels. A broad, flat-topped desk stood in. the center of the room. Some shelves and books were dimly visible against the walk SSviine oi uie uruw ers of the desk were open, and there was a litter of papers on the desk, and others were strewn in the big rattan chair, some on the floor. Two student lamps could be dimly distinguished, one on the big desk, another on a lit: tie reading-table placed not far from the south window, whose blinds, half open, admitted almost the only light that entered the room. With its head near inis reading-table and faintly visible, a bamboo lounge stretched its length towards the southward win dows, where all was darkness, and something vague and indistinguisha ble lay extended upon the lounge. Cram marched half-way across the floor, then stopped short, glanced down, stepped quickly to one side, shifting his heavily-booted foot as though to avoid some such muddy pool as those encountered without. i "Take care," he whispered, and mo tioned warningly to Pierce. "Come here and open these shutters, Al phonse," were the next words. But once again that prolonged, dismal, mournful howl was heard under the south window, and the negro, seizei with uncontrollable panic, turned back and clung trembling to the opposite walL . being together much of the morn It. o- , how could people help knowing, when Dryden had seen them?

Jeff ers aouotiess would have been besieged with questions but for Cram's fore- signt: his master had ordered, him to accompany him to town. in siience a second time the little party rode away, passing the flooded homestead where lay the murdered man, then, farther on. gazing in mute uunosity at tne closed shutters of the premises some infantry satirists had already christened "the dove-cot."

And here the party dismounted. Cram entered the gate and pulled cianging bell. The door was almost instantly opened by a colored girl whose side, with eager joyousiace, was the pretty child he had seen so often playing about the Lascelles homestead, and the eager joyous look faded in stantly away. "She fink it M'si?ur Varecng who comes to arrive." explained the smiling colored girl. "Ah! It is Mme. d'Hervilly I wish to see," answered Cram, briefly. "Please take her my card."
