CHAPTER HL
An unhappy man was Major Brooks
that gloomy month of March. The news
from Washington via department head-
quarters was most discouraging to Law-
rence. He was both looking and doing
ill. It seemed to “break him all up, ”
said a letter from a friend in the adju-
tant general’s office, that so few oonld
be found to urge the secretary to do
Something for him. What could they
do? was the answer. Admitting that
Lawrence had been grievously wronged,
"whose fault was it?” said the secre-
tary; “not mine.” He had only acted
on the information and recommendation
of officers to whom this work had been
intrusted. If they had erred, he should
have been informed of it before. “How
oould you be informed, ’ ’ said the sena-
tor who had championed the poor fel-
low’s cause, “when you resorted to a
system that would have shamed a Span-
iard in the days of the inquisition or
the Bourbons with their lettres de caohet
and the Bastille?” No one dreamed that
Lawrence was in danger until he was
done to death, and so, out of money, out
of clothes, out of hopes, health and
courage, poor Ned was fretting his
heart oat, while tender women and
loyal friends were keeping guard over
his shabby army home and caring for
his two motherless lambs away out on
the far frontier, awaiting the day when
he should be restored to them.
It did not come, nor did Lawrence.
An old comrade of the Sixth corps, a
gallant volunteer brigade commander,
pardonable sin in Mrs. Pelham’s eyes,
she being “too massive to sit in any-
thing short of the side seat of an ambu-
lance,” as said a regimental wit, and
Mrs. Pelham looked with eyes of disfa-
vor on women who managed to “keep
their waists” as Mrs. Waite did.
“But let me tell you about Captain
Barclay, ” continued the letter. “Gen-
eral Corliss called to see me two even-
ings ago and said he heard that Barclay
was actually a millionaire; that he had
large interests in Nevada mines that
were proving fabulously rich. You can
understand that I wasn’t at all surprised
to hear that tho general had intimated
to Mr. Ray of his staff that it would be
much better for him to go and serve
with his regiment awhile. Ray would
not be an acceptable son-in-law. He
has no money and too many fascina-
tions, and there are both the Corliss
girls, yon know, to be provided for, and
Miranda is already passe, and Ray has
designed the place, and the place is va-
cant, for—would you believe it?—they
say the general tendered it to Barclay,
and Barclay declined. Why, when we
were all at McPherson there wasn’t
anything satirical the Corlisses didn’t
say about Barclay, and now that he has
money they bow down' to and worship
him." (“Something Mrs. Pelham
Wouldn’t do for the world,” said Mrs.
Brooks to herself, with an odd smile.)
“And when the general was asked about
it yesterday he couldn’t deny having
made the offer, bat said the reason Cap-
tain Barclay declined was that he would

broken. Legal advisers told his friends
at last that restoration was impossible.
His plaoe was filled. He had only one
course left if he would listen to nothing
but restoration to the army, and that
was to accept a second lieutenancy and
begin over again at the bottom of the
list. They broached it to him, and he
broke out into wild, derisive laughter.
“Good God, do yon mean that a man
who has served 15 years in the army/
fought all throughs the war and served
as I have served, must step down from
the squadron captaincy to ride behind
the boys just out of the Point? Be ranked
out of quarters by my own son-in-law
the next thing I know! I’ll see the army
in b—1 first, ” was his furious reply.
“No, Ned, not hell, but Texas. Take
it. Go back to the line, and once you’re
back in the army in any grade we’li
legislate you up to the majority you de-
serve. See if Sffi don ’ t. ”
But Lawrence had last all faith in
promises, or in congressional action,
He turned in contempt from the propo-
sition, and in parly April came the tid-
ings to San Antonio that he was desper-
ately ill.
Meanwhile Mr. Hodge had lost th®
profeTtgB—ofi—liiir-pypniirniinp at
Worth and fell into the customary rut
of the subaltern. People found him aa
monotonous as did the martyrs of the
upper Platte, and from having keen the
most sought after oft second lieutenants
he dropped back to the plane of semi-
obscority: This was galling. Hodge’s
stock in trade had been the facts or fa-
bles in his possession concerning the
$b£pnt Captain Barclay, whose present
whereabout# gpd plans were shrouded
in mystery. A rumor paipe that he had
decided not to join at ail; that ho WPi
in Washington striving to arrange a
transfer; that his assignment to the
rt gtinept- and to the post where be mast

for a cavalry subaltern was something
unforeseen and not to be tolerated. The
muster poll couldn’t account for him

where without a request for further par-
tkmlars as to Sir Galahad. So long as
that interesting personage Was expected
any day to appear W(J answer for him-
self it behooved Hodge to be measprably
guarded in his statements, to keep with-
in the limits of his authorities, but one
day there came a letter from a lady at
' department headquarters to Mrs.
Brooks, pad before Brooks himself was
made aware of the ppptgnts, he being
at the clubroom playing -“pitch” and
therefore beyond the pale of feminine
consideration, the news was going the
round at the garrison.
Mra- Pelham, who fP&s spending the
winter in Washington, had written pO
»n Old and devoted friend of Major
Waite’s some very interesting news
about Captain iWeisy. The captain
was in Washington a whole wefiif, hut
had not called on Mrs. Pelham, though
she had done every thing she could think
of for him when he was wounded. The
Pelhams were then at McPherson and
near old Waite's summer camp, bat no
one ever heard of* her ladyship’s ever
taking tho faintest interest in Barclay
until after he developed into a mine
owner and had been jilted by Laarn
Waite. But let Mrs. Pelham talk for
herself, as she usually did, ns well as
for every one elsa “He spent the first
week in February here, leaving just be-

Mrs. Brooks fled-with it to
Mrs. Fnuier, who thought it ought not
to be read—it was too like Dorothy Pel-
ham for anything. But Mrs. Brooks
took and read it to neighbors who were
chatting and sewing together and had
no such scruples. And that night it was
dribbling about the post that Barclay
had decided to resign, had refused a de-
tail on the staff of General Corliss. Some-
body else would got Ned Lawrence’s
troop. Brooks heaved a sigh and said
to himself he was glad of it, and the
women heaved a sigh and wished be
might have come, if only for a little
while, just to make things interesting.
“It would be snoh a novelty to have a
millionaire mine owner in garrison and
actually doing duty as a captain of cav-
alry. ” Finally they began to wonder
what Mrs. Winn would say now, she
having had nothing at all to say.
That very evening it chanced to oc-
cur to Mr. Hedge that ho had not re-
turned Lieutenant Winn’s call (by
card, the cavalryman having dropped
in when he knew tlje new arrival to
have dropped out), and when Hodge
presented himself at the Winns’ (he
had spoken of his intention at mess in
the presence and hearing of the negro
attendant; wlUX-Hatl uiuiriioiled it with-
out delay to the Winns’ colored combi-
nation of cook and serving maid, who
had come over to borrow a cup of cook-
ing sherry, it being too far to the sut-
ler’s, and that damsel bad duly notified
her mistress of the intended honor) he
was shown into the dimly lighted army
sitting room, where, toasting her feet
before the fire, sat dreaming the young
mistress of the establishment, who start-
ed np in apparent surprise. She had
heard neither the step uor the ring.
Very possibly she was dozing, she ad-
jpjttcd, for baby was sleeping aloft and
her husband was gone, Sh® Wps attired
in a silken gown that Hodge described
somewhat later at the major’s as “puf-
flckly stunning”—a garment that re-
vealed the rich curves of her beautiful
throat and neck and arms. Women who
heard wondered why she should be
wearing that most becoming evening
robe when there was not even a hop.
She looked handsomer than the gown,
6aid Hodge, as she rose aud greeted him,
Jjer cheeks flashed, her eyes languorous
and smoldering at first, then growing
slowly brilliant. She apologized for the
absence of Mr. Winn. He was spending
mnch time at the office just now. "He
is regimental commissary, you kDow, or
at least he has been, ” she explained.
Hodge knew all about that-, and he also
knew that if what h® heard fibput the
post was true it would have hC®h better
bad Wiuu spent more time at tbie office
before. Then Mrs. Winn was moved to
be gracious. She had heard so many,
many pleasant things of Mr. Hodge
since hifi firrival. She was so honored
that be should mil whci) h® must be
having so many claims on his time, so
many diuner calls to pay. She and Mr.
Winn were so sorry they bad been un-
able to entertfilh Mr. Hodge, but until
the cook they were expeetiug froju gan
Antopio came they were positively starv-
ing and could invite no one to share
their seraps,
“That cook has been expected a whole
year,” said other women, but Mrs.
Winn paraded him as the canso of her
social shortcomings as confidently as
ever. Then Mrs. Winn went on to speak
of how much she had heard of Hodge
at Omaha—dear Omaha! “What lovely
times wo had along the Platte in the
good old days!” Hodgp (dashed with
joy aud preened and twittered and
thought how blessed a thing it was to
bo welcomed to the fireside of such a
belle aucl beauty aud to be remembered
by her as one of the gay young bachelors
at Sidney. “jiJuch wicked stories as we
heard of you »car,/’.graces from time to
time!” said sbe, whereat Hodge looked
as though he might indeed have beeu
shockingly wicked, as perhaps he had.
Indeed she feared they (the young offi-
cers) werC “a sad lot, a sad lot!” and
looked up at him from under the droop-
ing lasher. In a (fay that prompted him
to an inspirafiop that was jijmost- elec-
tric in its effect pn him. Hods^ fairly
seemed to sparkle, to scintillate. “Sad!
We were in despair,” said he, “hut
that was when we heard of your en
gagement—oh, ah, tho second one, I
jpcaii l”he stumbled on, for it would
never .do, jopyght he, to mention the
first."'
But he need have had no hesitation.

not talk if they thought she wished to
hear, and fat© had provided her a better
means. She saw here and now the op-
portunity and the man. It was Hodge
who had told so much that was of vivid
Interest to her; ft was Hodge she had
been longing to meet for days, but Winn
had held him aloof, and now here she
had this ingeuuous repository of Bar-
clayisms all to herself until Winn
should retnrn. The chance was not to
be lost.
“I love to live over those dear old
days when I was a girl,” she said.
Friends seemed so real then, men so
true, life so buoyant. Sometimes I find
myself wishing there were more of the
old friends, the old set, here. We seem
—so much more to each other, don’t yon
know, Mr. Hodge?” And Hodge felt
sure “we” did and hitched his chair a
foot nearer the fire.
“Of course I was younger then, and
knew so little of the world, aud yet,
knowing it as I do now—-I can say this
to yon, you know, Mr. Hodge—I could
not to another soul here, for you were
of us, yon served with father’s column. ”
(Hodge’s service was limited to play
poker with "those wretches Gates and
Hagadorn” and others of Waite’s com-
mand on one or two memorable occa-
sions, and the resultant hole in his
purse was neither as broad as a church
nor deep as a well, but ’twould serve.)
“I’ve often felt here as though I would
give anything to see some of the dear
old crowd; not that people are not very,
very lovely here, but, you know, we
army friends cling so to the old associa-
tions.” And now the beautiful eyes
seemed almost suffused, and Hodge
waxed eloquent.
“I am thrice fortunate,” said he, re-
calling the lines of his Maltravers, “i«
th^t I am numbered among them.”
And now, like Laura, he looked upen
Worth as cold and dormant as compared
With the kindling -friendships of the
distant Platte.
“Indeed you are!” said she. “You
bring back the sweetest days of my life,
and some of the saddest. I have no one
to speak to me, you know—of course—
until you did a moment ago. Tell me,
is—is his life so changed as—they sav
it is?”
“I never saw a man so broke up, ” lr
responded. “He never smiled after you
—after—after it was broken off, you
know. ” Barclay’s smile was as rare as
a straight flush anyhow, he admitted
to himself, but the assertion sounded
well.
‘ ‘ And — of — late—what have you
heard of him?” she asked, and Hodge
poured forth his latest news and added
more. He, too, he said, had had a let-
ter from an intimate friend. Captain
Barclay had declared that the assign-
ment to the Twelfth cavalry was im
possible; Texas was impossible. Hie
business interests would necessitate hi-
declining, if indeed there were no other
reasons. General Corliss had tend err. 1
him the position pf aid-de-camp au
made Billy Ray of the —th resign h
make way for hjm^end the moment
Barclay foufiaTBatout he went to Ray
find told him the whole business wa-
without his (Barclay’s) knowledge and
sooner than displace him he would re-
fuse. “Ves,” said Hodge, “that’s the
way my friend heard it from Ray him-
self. Now, if Barclay could only get a
detail on McDowell’s staff in California
It would have suited him to a tee. Then
he oould have looked after his Nevada
Interests and his Wyoming pensioners
toa”
“Did Mr. Hodge know surely about
Mr. Barclay’s wealth? Was it all true?”
be was asked.
“Oh. yes, there wasn’t a doubt of
jt,” said Hodge, It was just another of
those cases where a man had money in
abundance and yet would have given
it all, he added sentimentally, but here
she uplifted rebukingly her white, slim
hand—or was it warningly, for there
came a quick footfall on the porch
without? The hall door opened sharply,
Jetting in a gust of cold night wind,
and, throwing off his cavalry cape, with
?ts faded yellow lining, Lieutenant
Winn strode through the hallway into
his Jittl® den at the rear.
“You will come and see me again,”
She murmured low while yet the foot-
steps resounded; “it has been so—good
to see you—so like old times. We’ll
have, to talk of other things now. Mr.
Winn doesn’t like old times too well.”
But Mr. Winn never so mnch as look-
ed jn the parlor door until she called to
him. Then, as she saw his face, the
young wife arose with anxiety in her
own.
“What is it? Where are you going—
with your revolver, too, Mr. Hodge,
dear?”
“Oh-h, beg pardon, Mr. Hodge! Glad
to see yon!” was Winn’s distraught ac
knowledgment of the presence of the
visitor as he extended a reluctant hand.
f’Jfy sergeant can’t he found,” he went
on hurriedly. “They say he’s gone to
Fuller’s ranch, and it may be ail right,
but the colonel has ordered out a patrol
to fetch him hack. Don’t worry, Laurie.
| may have to fide pqt with it.”
And hurriedly he kissed her and
bounded down the steps.
For a moment she stood in the door-
U'ay, th® light from the hall lamp shin-
ing on her dusky hair aud proud, beau-
tiful face, forgetful of the man who
stood gazing at her. Then, with a shiv-
er, she suddenly turned.
“It’s the second time that Sergeant
Marsden has been missed in just this
Way when he was most needed, and—
ft's so imprudent, so—and my husband
is so imprudent, so unsuspicious. Mr.
Hodge,” she cJed impulsively, “if
ypu’ve heard anything or if you do hear
anything about bim or Mr. Winn, bo a
friend to me and tell mo, won’t you?”
Aud there was nothing Hodge would
uot have promised, nothing he would
not have told, but the door of the ad-
joining quarters slammed, au officer
came striding along the porch common
to th© double set, and the clank of a sa-
Pfet was heard as ho neared them.
“Winii gofie?“ bP asked. “Don’t
worry, Mrs. Winn, We'll overhaul that
scoundrel before he can reach the set-
tlements unless"—
“But what is wrong? What has hap-
pened, Mr. Bray ton?” she asked, her
fape whlY’ with dread, her heart flut-
tering.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
Biennial Report of the Board
of Regents of the Univer-
sity of Texas.
On January 21st Governor Say-
ers received the biennial report
of the board of regents of the
University* of Texas. The report
shows our leading educational in-
stitution to be Jb prosperous
condition. The attendance for
the past year was 800 students,
representing one foreign country,
seven states, and one hundred
counties in Texas. Forty-five dif-
ferent trades, occupations, and
professions were represented by
the parents of the students, and
one-fonrth of the number were
sons and daughters of farmers.
Nearly half the students in the
University pay their own expens-
es, either by money which they
have previously earned, or by la-
bor while they are pursuing their
studies. To aid a larger number
of this class, the regents recom-
mend the enlargement of Univer-
sity Hall, a dormitory for yonng
men, so that board may be furnish-
ed there at a nominal price of $10
per month. If the legislature al-
lows this appropriation, accommo
dation will be provided for 150
young men, so that with the free
tnition offered everyone, young
men will be enabled to live at the
University for a year at a total ex-
pense rangiog from $35 to $150.
The regents also ask for an ap-
propriation for a building foT
women, to be erected on the Uni-
versity campus with construction
and equipment according to rec-
ognized sanitary principles. This
building would afford cheaper
board for the 160 young women
now students in the University at

Austin; instruction would be of-
fered them in music and art; and
due regard could be paid by a
proper management to their health
and physical development. The
law requires that the University
of Texas shall be open to both
male and female on equal terms,
bat this is not now the case. In
order to remove this reproach and
do justice to the girls of Texas,
the board earnestly recommend
the erection of a woman’s build-
ing.
The departments of law, medi-
cine, and engineering are well at-
tended, and the entire University
has received an impetus of growth
that will soon make it a peer of
any educational institution in
America.
The University regents have
asked the legislature for an ap-
propriation to equip a bacteriolog-
ical laboratory at the medical de-
partment in Galveston. This
equipment is necessary for a thor-
ough investigation of epidemics
of la grippe, dengue fever, and
yellow fever which have prevailed
in Texas during recent years, with
a view to treatment and preven-
tion. Texas Medical students
should have the best equipment
for thorough training in their pro-
fession.
The newly completed east wing
to the main University building at
Austin has been accepted by the
board of regents, and will be at
once occupied by professors and
students from the overcrowded
rooms of the old University quar-
ters. The University now offefs
accommodations for more than
1000 students. It shonld grow at
the rate of 100 per year for the
next 20 years.
Messrs. Trezevant & -Cochran
of Dallas, Texas, offer $250 in
cash prizes to the students of the
University of Texas for the two
best essays on the subject of fire
insurance.
There are now 160' Texas girls
studying in the University at
Austin. Often they outrank in
scholarship their male competi-
tors. The time for a milk and
water diet in the education of
women seems to have permanent-
ly passed.
The legislature by providing
proper dormitory facilities a*
Austin will enable the boy of lim-
ited means to obtain the advan-
tage of a complete university
training. Board will be reduced
to $10 per month. The law of
the State provides that no tuition
fees may ever be charged in the
University of Texas.
