of health flushing her cheeks, the Hps
parted in surprise, the sleeve fallen
back from one white, rounded arm,
the' eyes honest, sincere, mysterious.
She recognized him with a glance, and
her lips closed as she remembered
. how and when they had met before.
Bat there was no answering recollec-
. Hon within his eyes, only, admiration
nothing clung about this Naida to
remind him of a neglected waif of
the garrison. She read all this In his
lace, and the lines about her mouth
changed quickly Into a slightly qulz-
' steal smile, her eyes brightening.
"You should at least hare knocked,
sir," she ventured, sitting up on the
zrassv bank, the better to confront
. elm, "before Intruding thus unin
vited." He lifted his somewhat dingy scout
ing hat and bowed humbly.
"I perceived no door giving warning
that I approached such presence, and
the first shock of surprise was per
haps as great to me as to you. Yet,
now that I have blundered thus far, I
beseech that I be permitted to venture
upon yet another step."
She sa t looking at him, a trim, sol
dierly figure, his face young and pleas
ant to gaze upon, and her dark eyes
sensibly softened.
"What step?"
"To tarry for a moment beside the
divinity of this wilderness."
. She laughed with open frankness,
her white teeth sparkling behind the
red. parted Hps.
"Perhaps you may, if you will first
consent to be sensible,' she said, with
returning gravity; "and I reserve the
right to turn you away; whenever you
begin to talk or act foolish. If you
accept these conditions, you may sit
down."
He seated himself upon the soft
grass ledge, retaining the hat in his
hands. "You must be an odd sort of a
girl," he commented, soberly, "not to
welcome an honest expression of ad
miration." "Oh, was that it? Then I duly bow
my acknowledgment. I took your
words for one of those silly compli
ments by which men believe they
honor women. I am not a baby, nor
am I seeking amusement."
He glanced curiously at her book.
"And yet you condescend to read love
stories," he said, smiling. "I expected
to discover a treatise on philosophy."
"I read whatever I chance to get my
hands on, here in Glencald," she re
torted, "just as I converse with who
ever comes along. I am hopeful of
some day discovering a rare gem hid--den
in the midst of the trash. I am
yet young."
"You are indeed young." he said,
quietly, "and with some of life's les
sons still to learn. One is that frank
ness is not necessarily flippancy, nor
honesty harshness. However, if you
will offer me a topic worthy the occa
sion. In either philosophy, science, or
literature, I will endeavor to feed your
mind."
She uplifted her innocent eyes de
murely to his face. "You are so kind.
I am deeply interested just now in the
Japanese conception of the transmi
gration of souls."
"How extremely fortunate! It
chances to be my favorite theme, but
my mental processes are peculiar, and
you must permit me to work up to
ward it somewhat gradually. For In
stance, as a question leading that way,
how, in the incarnation of this world,
do you manage to exist in such a
bole of a place? that Is, provided you
really reside here."
"Why, I consider this a most de
lightful nook."
"My reference was to Glencald."
"Oh! Why, I live from within, not
without. Mind and heart, not environ
ment, make life, and my time Is occu
pied most congenially. I am being
faithfully nutured on the Presbyterian
catechism, and also trained in the
graces of earthly society. These alter
nate, thus preparing me for whatever
may happen in this world or the next."
His face pictured bewilderment, but
also a determination to persevere. "An
Interesting combination, I admit. But
from your appearance this cannot al
ways have been your home?"
"Oh, thank you. I believe not al
ways; but I wonder at your being able
to discern my superiority to these sur
roundings. And do you know your
questioning is becoming quite per
sonal? Does that yield me an equal
privilege?"
He bowed, perhaps relieved at thus
permitting her to assume the initia
tive, and rested lazily back upon the
grass, his eyes intently studying her
face.
"I suppose from your clothes you
must be a soldier. What is that figure
7 on your hat for?"
"The number of my regiment, the
Seventh cavalry."
Her glance was a bit disdainful as
she coolly surveyed him from head to
foot. "I should imagine that a strong.'
capable appearing fellow like you
night do much better than that. There
Is so much work in the world worth
doing, and so much better pay."
"What do you mean? . Isn't a sol
dier's life a worthy one?" " ! -
"Oh, yes, of course. In a way. We
M f 1 K 1 I
have to" have soldiers, I suppose; hut
if I were a man I'd bate to waste all
my life tramping around at 16 a
month."
He smothered what sounded like a
rough ejaculation, gazing into her de
mure eyes as if he strongly suspected
a joke hid In their depths. "Do do
you mistake me for an enlisted man?".
"Oh, I didn't know; you said you
were a soldier, and that's what I al
ways heard they got. I am so glad If
they give you more. I was only going
to say that I believed I could get you
a good place In McCarthy's store If
you wanted it. He pays 65 and his
clerk has just left."
Brant stared at her with open
mouth, totally unable for the moment
to decide whether,, or not-that inno
cent, sympathetic face masked mis
chief. Before he succeeded in regain
ing confidence and speech, she had
risen to her feet, holding back her
skirt with one hand.
"Really, I must go," she announced
calmly, drawing back toward the slight
opening between the bushes. "No
doubt you have done fully as well as
you could, considering your position
In life; but this has proved another
disappointment. You have fallen, far,
very far, below my ideal. Good-by."
He sprang Instantly erect, his cheeks
flushed. "Please don't go without a
further word. We seem predestined
to misunderstand. I am even willing
to confess myself a fool in the hope
of some time being able to convince
you otherwise. You have not even
told me that you live here; nor do I
know your name."
She shook her head positively, re
pressed merriment darkening her eyes
and- wrinkling the corners of her
mouth. "It would be highly improper
to introduce myself to a stranger
we Presbyterians never do that."
"But do you feel no curiosity as to
who I may be?"
"Why, not in the least; the thought
is ridiculous. How very conceited you
must be to imagine such a thing!"
He was not a man easily daunted,
nor did he recall any previous em
barrassment in the presence of a
young woman. But now he confronted
sotsething utterly unique; those quiet
eyes seemea 10 iook siraigm inrougu t
him. His voice faltered sadly, yet I
succeeded in asking: "Are we, then,
never to meet again? Am I to under
stand this to be your wish?"
She laughed. "Really, sir, I am not
aware that I have the slightest desire
in the matter. I. have given it no
thought, but I presume the possibility
of our meeting again depends largely
upon yourself, and the sort of society
you keep. Surely you cannot expect
that I would seek such an opportu
nity?" He bowed humbly. "You mistake
my purpose. I merely meant to ask
If there was not some possibility of
our again coming together socially in
the presence of mutual friends."
"Oh, I scarcely think so; I do not re
member ever having met any soldiers
at the social functions here except
ing officers. We are extremely ex
clusive in Glencald," she dropped him
a mocking courtesy, "and I have al
ways moved in the most exclusive
set."
Piqued by her tantalizing manner,
he asked, "What particular social
functions are about to occur that may
possibly open a passage into your
guarded presence?"
She seemed Immersed in thought,
her face turned partially aside. "Un
fortunately, I have not my list of en
gagements here," and she glanced
about at him shyly. "I can recall only
one at present, and I am not even cer
tain that is, I do not promise to at
tend that. However, I may do so.
The Miners' Bachelor club gives a re
ception and ball to-morrow evening in
honor of the new schoolmistress."
"What is her name?" with respon
sive eagerness.
She hesitated, as if doubtful of the
strict propriety of mentioning it to a
stranger.
"Miss Phoebe Spencer," she said,
her eyes cast demurely down.
"Ah!" he exclaimed, in open tri
umph; "and have I, then, at last made
fair capture of 'your secret? You are
Miss Phoebe Spencer."
She drew back still farther within
the recesses of the bushes, at his sin
gle victorious step forward.
"I? Why certainly not. I am mere
ly Miss Spencer's 'star' pupil, so you
may easily judge something of what
her superior attainments must neces
sarily be. But I am really going now,
and I sincerely trust you will be able
to secure a ticket for to-morrow night;
for if you once meet this Miss Spencer
you will never yield another single
thought to me, Mr. Mr. " her eyes

CHAPTER XIII.
Silent Murphy.'
Brant sprang forward, all doubt re
garding . this, young woman instantly
dissipated by those final -words of mis
chlevous mockery.' She had been play
ingr' with 'him as unconcernedly as if
he were a mere toy sent for her
amusement and his pride was stung.
But pursuit proved useless. Like
a phantom she had slipped away amid
the underbrush, leaving him to floun
der blindly in the labyrinth. His in
cautious foot slipped along the steep
edge of the shelving bank, and he
went down, half stumbling, half slid
ing, until he came to a sudden pause
on the brink of the little stream. The
chase was ended, and he sat up, con
fused for the moment, and half ques
tioning the evidence of his own eyes.
A small tent, dirty and patched,
stood with its back against the slope

of Your Damn Bull
'm Not Under Your Or-
of earth down which he had plunged.
Its flap flung aside revealed within a
pile of disarranged blankets, together
with some scattered articles of wear
ing apparel, while just before the
opening, his back pressed against the
supporting pole, an Inverted pipe be
tween his yellow, irregular teeth, sat
a hideous looking man. He was a
withered, dried-up fellow, whose age
was not to be guessed, having a skin
as yellow as parchment, drawn in
tight to the bones like that of a
mummy, his eyes deep sunken like
wells, and his head totally devoid of
hair, although about his lean throat
there was a copious fringe of iron-gray
beard, untrimmed and scraggy. Down
the entire side of one cheek ran a
livid scar, while his nose was turned
awry.
He sat staring at the newcomer,
unwinking, his facial expression de
void of interest, but his fingers open
ing and closing in apparent nervous
ness. Twice his lips opened, but noth
ing except a peculiar gurgle sound is
sued from the throat, and Brant, who
by this time had attained his feet and
his self-possession, ventured to ad
dress him.
"Nice quiet spot for a camp," he re
marked, pleasantly, "but a bad place
for n tumble."
The sunken eyes expressed nothing,
but the throat gurgled again painfully
and finally the parted lips dropped a
detached word or
two. "Blame
pretty girl that.
The lieutenant wondered how much
of their conversation this old mummy
had overheard, but he hesitated to
question him. One inquiry, however,
sprang to his'surprised lips. "Do you
know her?"
"Damn sight better than any one
around here know her real name."
Brant stared incredulously. "Do you
mean to insinuate that that young
woman is living in this community un
der an assumed one? Why, she is
scarcely more than a child! What do
you mean, man?"
The soldier's hat still rested on the
grass where it had fallen, its military
insignia hidden.
"I guess I know what I know,"
the fellow muttered. "What's your
regiment?"
"Seventh cavalry."
The man stiffened up as if an elec
tric shock had swept through his limp
frame. "The hell! and did she
call you Brant?"
The young officer's face exhibited
his disgust. Beyond doubt that se
questered nook was a favorite loung
ing spot for the girl, and this disrepu
table creature had been watching her
for some sinister purpose.
"So you have been eavesdropping,
have you?" said Brant, gravely. "And
now you want to try a turn at defam-'
ing a woman? Well, you have come
to a poor market for the sale of such
goods. I am half Inclined to throw
you bodily Into the creek. I believe
you are nothing but a common liar,
but I'll give you one chance you say.
you know her real name. What is it?"'
The eyes of the mummy had become
spiteful. "It's none of your damn
business. I'm not under your or
ders." "Under my orders! Of course not;
but what do you mean by that? Who
and what are you?"
The fellow stood up, slightly hump
backed but broad of shoulder, his
arms long, his legs short and some
what bowed, his chin protruding im
pudently, and Brant noticed an oddly
shaped black scar, as if burned there
by powder, on the back of his right
hand.
"Who am I?" he said, angrily. "I'm
Silent Murphy."
An expression of bewilderment
swept across the lieutenant's face.
"Silent Murphy! Do you claim to be
Custer's scout?"
The fellow nodded. "Heard of me
maybe?"
Brant stood staring at him, his mind
occupied with vague garrison rumors
connected with this odd personality.
The name had long been a familiar
one, and he had often had the man
pictured out before him. There could
remain no reasonable doubt of his
identity, but what was he doing there?
"Yes, I've heard of you," and his
crisp tone instinctively became ' that
of terse military command. "although'
we have never met, for I have been
upon detached service ever since my
assignment to the regiment. I have a
troop in camp below," he pointed
down the stream, "and am in com
mand here."
The scout nodded carelessly.
"Why ('.Id you net ccnie down there
and re pert your presence in this nclgh
borheod to me?"
Murrhy grinned unpleasantly. "Rath
er be dlcne r.o report been over
Black Rar.e telegraphed wait or
ders." "Do you mean you are in direct com
munication v.ith headquarters, with
Custer?"
The man answered, with a wide
sweep of his long arm toward the
northwest. "Goin' to be hell out
there damn soon."
"How? Are things developing into
a truly scriou3 affair a real cam
paign?"
"Every buck in the Sioux nation
is makin' fer the bad lands," and
he laughed noiselessly, his nervous
finger? gesticulating. " guess that
means business."
Brant hesitated. Should he attempt
to learn more about the young girl
Instinctively he appreciated the futil
Ity of endeavoring to extract informa-
tlon from Murphy, and he experienced
a degree of shame at thus seeking to
penetrate her secret. He glanced
about, seeking some way of recross-
ing the stream.
"If you require any new equipment,'
he said tersely, "we can probably sup
ply you at the camp. How do you
manage to get across here?"
Murphy, -walking stHBy, led the-way
down the steep slope, and silently
pointed out a log bridging tie narrow
stream. He stood watching while the
officer picked his steps across, but
made no responsive motion when the
other waved his band from the oppo
site shore, his sallow face looking
grim and unpleasant.
The young officer marched down
the road, his mind busied with the
peculiar happenings of the morning,
and that prospect for early active
service hinted at In the brief utter
ances of the old scout. Brant was
thorough soldier, born into the service
and deeply enamored of Its dangers
yet beyond this he remained a man, a
young man, swayed by those emotions
which when at full tide sweep aside
all else appertaining to life.
His had been a lonely life since
leaving West Point and joining his
regiment a life passed largely among
rough men and upon the desolate
plains. For months at a time he had
known nothing of refinement, nor en
joyed social intercourse with the op
posite sex. Yet, beneath his mask ol
impassibility, the heart continued tc
beat with fierce desire, biding the time
when it should enjoy its own sweef
way. Perhaps that hour had already
dawned; certainly something new
something inspiring, had now come tc
awaken an interest unfelt before, and
leave him idly dreaming of shadowed
eyes and flushed, rounded cheeks.
He was in this mood when he over
took the Rev. Howard Wynkoop anc
marked the thoughtful look upon hi
pale face.
"i called at your camp," explained
Wynkoop, after the first words ol
ereeting had been exchanged, "as soon
as I learned you were here in com
mand. but only to discover your ab
sence. The sergeant, however, wa
very courteous, and assured me there
would be no difficulty in arranging a
religious service for the men, unless
sudden orders should arrive. Xc
doubt I may rely on your coopera
tion."
"Most certainly," was the cordia!
response, "and I shall also permit
those desiring to attend 'your regulai
Sunday services so long as we are sta
tioned here. How is your work pros
pering?"
"There is much to encourage me
but spiritual progress is slow, anc
there are times when my faith falters
and I feel unworthy of the service ir.
which I am engaged."
"A mining camp is so intensely ma
terial seven days of the week that 11
must present a difficult field for the
awakening of any religious sent!
ment," confessed Brant sympathetica!
ly. "I have often wondered how yoi
consented to bury your talents in suet
a place."
The other smiled, but with a trace
of sadness in his eyes. "I firmly be
lleve that every minister should de
vote a portion of his life to the doing
of such a work as this. It is both s
religious and a patriotic duty, and
there is a rare joy connected with it."
"Yet it was surely not Joy I saw pic
tured within your face when we met;
you were certainly troubled over some
problem."
Wynkoop glanced up quickly, c
slight flush rising in his pale cheeks
"Perplexing questions which must be
decided off-hand are constantly aris
ing. And just now I scarcely know
what action to take regarding certain
applications for church membership."
Brant laughed. "I hardly consider
myself a competent adviser in matters
of church policy," he admitted, "yet 1
have always been informed that all sc
desiring are to be made welcome in
religious fellowship."
"Theoretically, yes." And the min
ister stopped still in the road, facing
his companion. "But this special case
presents certain peculiarities. The
applicants, as I learn from others, are
not leading lives above reproach. So
far as I know, they have never even
attended church service until last Sun
day, and I have some reason to sus
pect an ulterior motive. I am anxious
to put nothing in the way of any hon
estly seeking soul, yet I confess that
in these cases I hesitate."
' "But your elders? Do not they share
the responsibility of passing upon
such applications?" . .
' -Th flush on Mr. Wynkoop's cheeks
deepened,, and his eyes fell. "Ordl-
narily, yes; but in this case I fear
