The Washoes were ' still in camp and the day of muster out ', not yet determined. The governor and : (ds satellites wore now less clamorous i for speedy settlement of their papers j End somev, hat given to suggestion that, ! after all. "it wouldn't pay for the regi- j mcnt to come to the capital. They I wouldn't have their arms a::l their ( equipments, c'.c. all having to be turn- ; ed in at the Presidio, so it would hard- ly be like a military parade. All t lungs ! considered, it would be just as well for the boys to scatter at Frisco and each S choose bis own homeward way." So ; the military authorities bent their en-.1 ergics toward getting rid of those regi- j incuts whose statesmen were clamor- j ous. and thus it happened that the Na- ; tbans returned while the Washoes were still in camp, and it might have been i better had that leave been extended. One glorious autumn morning the regiment formed line for final review. and in great numbers civilians, soldiers 1 and women fair were assembled to wit- ; ness the ceremony. The C'olumbias bad been paid off to the last man and given ! their discharge, but several of their of- ; ticers still lingered about the city. The j Evergreens had been welcomed home j and feted and feasted to their hearts' i content. Not a company bad gone cn ; its way without stopping for a parting ' call and cheer at I.angdon's camp. The commanding general and his stall, es corted by a troop of cavalry from the barracks and greeted by the thunder of the garrison guns, took place in front of the center of the long, statuesque ; Sine. For the l::st time lhe Washoes I came out in khaki, and very tit and ! soldierly they looked despite the relax ; ntion of the long homeward voyage and the days of waiting about the city. To right and left of the reviewing point ; were stores of carriages from town. ami an aid-de-camp had ridden to Gen- era I Melville's with the compliments of the department commander and an in ; citation to draw up close to the staff. where a far hotter view could tie bad. j and so it hapnened that Mrs. Melville ami Ethel Gra ha me sat smiling within the charmed circle, the space parceled off by sentries for the immediate party of the reviewing officials. The general left bis station and rode up beside them and doffed his plumed chapcau. "I had tioped to have you ride with us today. Melville," said he. "but 1 sup pose the doctors must have their way. Miss Grabame. I saw you in saddle in the park yesterday, ami I envied your escort." The general was nothing if not gallant. "Wonderful how some men recuperate from wounds received in battle," continued the double star red veteran and gazed impressively at Miss Grahame and glanced at I.ang dcn. sitting erect half way across the field. It seemed to the commander that he had put it very neatly, though the onicer on Put that "They've attacked me an duty escorting a governor! sentry in the guard tent!" I than hat! been placed in dost "The sentry was ouk doing his duty. ! sir." began the corporal. "Those were his ordei" ; "Orders from that safe robbing scoundrel of a militia colonel out yon der" Whack! That -was Nathan's last hit for many a day. The .young man in ly in accordance with his orders. The ; major had committed one of the grav est crimes known to military law. lirst In refusing to obey and second in dar ing to strike the sentry. Captain Mar tin and bis associates, late or' sb .' lumbias, were interrogated by tie judge advocate of the depntim-nt -:nd bidden to hold themselves in rt-rihiiv-s to testify before the court that 'a .;;!:! be convened forthwith, for Major ;;i- est. Put that wasn't all. Cresswoil was a hard hater and as hard a hitter. Na than's vile insult had been audible to a story of The Carbuncle. Within an hour he was at Langdon's tent and found the colonel supervising the pack ing of his soldier goods and chattels. Each knew what was uppermost In the mind of the other, and Langdon baiie his orderly excuse him to visitors a' few lnomtnts, sent Hurricane to the camp postoffice and let down the Haps of the tent. "That fellow is still in close arrest." said be. "and 1 cannot reach him uutil he is released." "And then?" asked Melville thought fully. "Then I shall cowlnde him." "I-angdou." said the general after a moment's reflection, "that's what brought ine out here so early. Head this first." It was a letter in Nathan's handwrit ing. Langdon took it slowly and with obvious repugnance, his eyes the while resting with inquiry and eagerness ui ou another missive, a little note that the general still retained. Opening the first, however, be read as follows: dozen bystanders, and. tlnui; I.-ing- .

"The matter shall be fully investigated. Who who struck you?" "I -did. General Langdon," spoke up ! the assailant, with blood in bis eye ; and wrath on his tongue. "Captain ; Martin, late Second Columbias, sir. and I'm ready to answer for it to him or to anybody here or anywhere, lie lashed a sentry in the discharge of his duty, and if that isn't enough, by ; heaven Well, you heard what he ' said?" And the young captain ap i pealed to the crowd. ; That evening there was a never to be forgotten scene iu front of the colonel's don had not been allowed io'-l'-.T.r of it. Cresswoil followed up the rumor and got th exact words. In formulating the charges against the o'liccr it was considered botb unnecessary and un wise to refer to them. There was quite enough to dismiss him from the service without allusion to his insane out- ' break, but Civssweil wasn't satisfied. He had never abandoned his theory that young Hetts was the culprit, and long years after the occurrence and soon after the senior's transfer to an other road there leaked a story from the yards that had been suppressed only so long as P.etts was inliueniial. and the young man fled from Mrent wood between two days, no one knew whither. The matter caused no little talk at the time, for the road mad-' no effort to run him down. It was learn ed later that a shortage cf upward of ?1.00v) was "squared" by relatives of the fugitive, ami that, it was supposed. v,-ou!d end the.matter. Perhaps it might have done so but for Nathan's reiteration of the old slander, ami there was a scene in the lobby of the Palace bt.iel one evening just within the week of the episode, when the president of the Seattle, who bad hastened from Chicago in response to "wires" from the Nathans anil who had hat! a long interview with the ac cused officer that morning and a short one a very short one with the chict of staff that afternoon, came saunter- j ing down in evening dress to dinner, a : brace of magnates with him. The trio i were suddenly accosted by Judge Cress ' well, who presented his aid and deliv j ered himself substantially as fo'lows: "Mr. Barclay, you were general man i ager of the Seattle at the time of a cer i tain safe robbery in the P.ig Horn of fice at Brentwood. You were satisfied of the innocence- cf Mr. Langdon. l o calise immediately after bis discharge by the Big Horn you tendered him as good a position on your read. Is not this true?" Barclay flushed.

And the general sauntered out into the sunshine to chat with the gathering onicers and to smile kindly and genial ly at the men, who never seemed to tire of rendering honors to their colonel's friend.

"It seems they have been enter tained over at the post, but they're coining now," he added as two car riages, escorted by three or four horse men, came sweeping over the brow of the uortbward height.
