He hop- ed not to for several days, and a very uncomfortable man he was. Forrest, however, seemed making no effort to find him, as the millionaire rather ex- pected him to do. Forrest’s duties were somewhat confining, and Allison even kept away from his pet club for awhile, dreading to meet with officers who were being entertained there at all . hours. The Lambert was another place that for awhile he religiously avoided. ' He was becoming afraid of Wells. It ' gave him a queer feeling, however, when driving home to luncheon one ,’ day, to see an orderly- holding two officers’ horses opposite the privateen- ! trance, and Cranston and Forrest in; conversation with Mr. Wells. They; were absorbed and did not look up, but something told Allison there was I {trouble for' him. Even his friend' Waldo had been embarrassed andcon- ! strained in his presence. He made up, his mind to stop and see Wells that:, very afternoon, and did so, bursting in : in his fine old English manner.

Martin, I regret exceedingly to hear you asaultod Mr. Elmo and didnt.~ kill him.” . g Mauifestly Mr. Wells was not a. proper person for the position he held, being far too impulsive in speech for a bookish man; but. then Wells had been sorely tried. He told Cramton something of it as they walked away together after loading Mart with pro- visions and fruit at the corner grocery. Together they stopped to see Dr. Francis and have a. brief chat with him about his patient, and then Cranston mounted and rode thoughtfully back to camp at the lake front. Captain Divine, with his troop, had just re- turned from a long day’s dusty, dirty, exasperating duty at the stock-yards, and no sooner had he made his brief! ‘lm report than the major queried, rest you happen to know whether For is back with his regiment?” ' “He was commanding his company at. the yards to-day, sir. I heard he reâ€" turned four days ago." . “’H’m!” said the major, reflectively: “I think I'll stroll over toâ€"night and find Kenyon.” They were both sons of Chicago, these two field officers, and had always been f close friends. Forrest, however, was a. 3 New Yorker, many years their junior. in the service. Cranston had liked him , well, yet now he felt that he should be ; glad to consult Kenyon, who had known him still longer, for that which he had heard from .Wells as they walk- ’ ed to the doctor’s filled him with vague , anxiety.

Plainly the librarian: told Cranston of the stormy interview between Allison and himself, in which, in presence of Mr. Waldo and “that man’ Elmendorf," Allison had demanded her discharge. Plainly he told his own views of Miss Wallen’s character and conduct, and what his wife thought of henâ€"that shewas a girl to be honored and admir- ed above her kind; “but," said be, Mr. Forrest always treated her as though he thought so too, and it may I» thlt she loaned to care for Jun before she heard about his being a suitor for the hand of Miss Allison.

Forrest, however, seemed making no effort to find him, as the millionaire rather ex- pected him to do. Forrest’s duties were somewhat confining, and Allison even kept away from his pet club for awhile, dreading to meet with officers who were being entertained there at all . hours. The Lambert was another place that for awhile he religiously avoided. ' He was becoming afraid of Wells. It gave him a queer feeling, however, when driving ! fo l coming to see us?" she finished, look- . ing appealingly at her father. “Yes, Forrest.” said Allison. “I wish ' you would.

You promised facts, and, as the time is short. owing to your own delay, we desire facts alone." “The facts," said Elmendorf, settled, “are that the gentleman in question. while posing as a man of honor andn welcome guest in a most estimable family circle, has long been secretly laying siege to the affections of a young and comparatively friendless girl, with such success that their re- lations became the talk of the neigh- borhood. I found that she had bo‘. seen at his lodgings after dark. that they were frequently seen alone to- gether as late as mid-night. and that they were often alone in the private rooms at the Lambert. These facts I were so well known that when he was] . suddenly ordered to leave Chicago last ’6 winter the explanation arrived at by common cement was that tho general sent him off to his regiment to avert further scandal, and that his second orders were for practically the same mason.
