This haze of memory terminated, finally, and objects appeared in a clearer atmosphere, when young Gregoriev became half-owner of a charming apartment in the irreproachable Bashkov Peréolouk, ten minutes' walk from his barracks, in partnership with a fellow-officer, one Vladimir de Windt, destined to become his friend of friends.

Ward was pleased that he had not been forced to prolong the galling masquerade of valet to his inferior officer. He was hopeful, too, that coming events would bring to the fore an opportunity to satisfy the vengeance he had inwardly sworn against the sailor who had so roughly manhandled him a few weeks past Theriere had not been in error in his estimate of his fellow-officer.

It was horribly cold when the men turned out and silently rode to the spot indicated in the orders. These were quite clear, and they meant death. De Vasselot had practically to lead a forlorn hope. A fellow-officer laughed when the instructions were read to him. "The general must be an enemy of yours," he said. And the thought had not occurred to Lory before.

Ensign Sand and a company had come apparently to pay the last rites to a fellow-officer whom they should no more meet on earth, bearing her heavenly commission. "Farewell, faithful friend, we must now bid adieu To those joys and pleasures we've tasted with you, We've laboured together, united in heart, But now we must close and soon we must part."

There he engaged a room at the Queen's Hotel for the night, and having locked up his hat-box in it he went away to order a supply of clothes and linen, as I found out afterwards. I nipped down to Moor Street and told them what I had to say. I got my authority to act, and when my gentleman got back again, I was there all ready for him with a fellow-officer and we nabbed him at his bedroom door.

As regards your quarrel, I am given to understand that the cause lies not so much with your fellow-officer as with your general. You are one of that large company who can be found in all armies, who are disappointed because, in their judgment, promotion has not corresponded with their merits. Be good enough to say if I do you an injustice? You are silent, then I am right.

"Where is Byng?" he asked his fellow-officer. "He's been up there with Tain's Brigade for a fortnight. He was in Kimberley, but got out before the investment, went to Cape Town, and came round here to be near his wife, I suppose." "He is soldiering, then?" "He was a Colonel in the Rand Rifles once. He's with the South African Horse now in command of the regiment attached to Tain.

"Did you get up so early on purpose to come over here yesterday?" said Scarlett, suddenly. "No. I was woke up by hearing Captain Miles go." "Captain Miles? Who is he?" "I don't know; an old fellow-officer of my father, I think. I say, Scarlett, I'm to be a soldier." Scarlett laughed, and his companion felt nettled. "Well," he said, "I shall grow older and stronger some day."

It was generally felt that the repose of the old man's last years ought not to be disturbed. Even such intimates as my paternal grandfather, a comrade-in-arms during Napoleon's Moscow campaign and later on a fellow-officer in the Polish Army, refrained from visiting his crony as the date of the outbreak approached.
