Maj. Davis had the I'epulatlon or

vate soldier found himself before a
court martial he would malte up his
mind that if the major had n volco
In the matter he was as good as con-
victed.
There were these who etcused the
officer's harshness on the ground that
he belonged to the old scllOol-tho
school that loolod upon the ranl { and
file as dogs-but the filct romalncd
that ho was not poplllal' with either
his officers or his mell ,
Affairs in the Indian country were
at peace when the post commander nt
Fort Brown applied for and socUl'ed u.
long leave of absence , and Major Davis -
vis was ordered to tal.o charge in Ills
Illace.
It was a frontier 110st with a Rmall
arrlson of old veterans , and there
was no call for red tape or rigid dls-
elpllne. The best drill master In the
army could not have taught those men
anything now , and the officers felt
that they had ri. right to loaf a lIttle
when warm weather set In ,
The United States was In no danger -
ger of Invasion from 0. foreign foe ,
and the red man had had enough of
. war to last him for two or three years ,
.
when Major Davis arrived and as-
slImell command. An hour later ho
hegan to Issue general orders , and 0.
groan of discontent wns heard through.
out the garl'ison.
'I'hen began what was characterized
aa "a , llm-a-dlddle time. " The llnes
of dlsclpllno were rigidly drawn and I
the drlIIs wore frequent and exacting. I
'fho finger of the martlnot pointed in
many directions , and the men who
growled went to the guard hOllse on a
trot.
trot.At
At all mllltary posts there are a few
favored men-men who sufter now
1f and then from old wounds or have
} Jerformed their brave deeds , and are
tacitly allowed to talte things easy.
Such a mnn was prlvato 'I'om Gor.
man at l ort Brown , Two 11\111et8 had
11een fired Into' him as he rOGO with
dispatches across the plains one night ,
and though not Incapacitated as a sol-
cller he was given light duty and cod-
tiled up a bit.
The coddling ceased soon arter the
major's arrival. He was on the lool : '
, out for such mon , They were returned
: to duty , and even gh"en xtra duty ,
and the mild protests of captains and
\
lieutenants were met with the formal
reply :
"This Is 0. military post , not a hos. I
paal ; and no man , unless excused by I
the doctor at slclt caB , wlII be exempt -
empt from duty. "
In a month the major was a woll-
lmted man. He realized the fact and
gloried 1n it.
Private Gorman returned to duty
with a complaint , al ! . . subsequent
) events proved that the mllrtinot had
a special eye on him , He was twlco
reprimanded during company drlII ono
day , and following that he wns placed
on sentry duty and tool { his post at
midnight In a rain storm.
It was an insldo post , and or no
consequence. The wounded man took
the chance of getting under shelter
for a short time. The major went the
I'ounds that night , caught him derelict -
lict and saw him hustled off to the
uard lJouse ;
,
'fho affair was 10ol\Od upon as seriously -
ously as if the Sioux warriors were
at the gates of the fort In war paint ,
instead of bolng in their led es fifty

rode down to the bolIIng spring , three

ufter his escape.

As the soldier made read ) ' with his
carbine the major let fall his reins
and drew a leller from his pocket. As
he did so 11 photograllh fell from the
letter to the stony highway unnoticed
by him. Queol' as It llIar seem , curiosity -
osity about the photograph overbalanced -
anced 'I'om Gorman's thirst for revenge -
venge for the moment , and ho let the
omcer puss.
A minute later he had the card in
hls'hand , It was the plclure or a lIttle

faccd , lIttle thing-and underneath
was written "l.'rom Elsie to Papa. "

over and ever again. "Damn me , but
It must bo his I < ld ! He got the leller
last night. She's got the face or nn

Private Gorman found his heart in
his throat. Ho was not a father , but
he wns n lever of children. He'd lJavo
