A few moments were passed in the interchange of the usual civilities, and we then went a mile farther on, to a large prairie upon which the division was drawn up. McKinstry has the flower of the army. He has in his ranks some regular infantry, cavalry, and artillery, and among his subordinate officers are Totten, Steele, Kelton, and Stanley, all distinguished in the regular service.
Totten did not care for his mid-morning refreshment, for, with the most courtly of smiles, he arose and left them to their bouillon. "Here comes Mr. Schmidt," whispered Mrs. Gaston excitedly, a few moments later, and at once made a movement indicative of hasty departure. "Sit still," said Miss Guile peremptorily. R. Schmidt again passed them by without so much as a glance in their direction.
But it was plain that Morrison had not solved anything when he turned to Mac Tavish. "Not much like honest, real business this, eh, Andy?" "Naething like, sir!" "Doesn't seem to be a polite job, either politics if you go in and fight the other fellow on his own ground." "I've e'er hated the sculch and the scalawags!" "Totten calls this a political exigency."
Totten admitted that it was he who had waited outside of the house in question, and who had knocked down the civilian. He further gave the name of that civilian, who was the son of one of the prominent officials of the state government. "Why did you strike him, Mr. Totten?" demanded the officer in charge. "Because, sir, the fellow had grossly insulted a young lady whom I felt bound to avenge."
He may come over here, or he may order us all over to headquarters." Colonel Totten elected to come over to the major's quarters. He arrived just after Lieutenant Ridder, who proved to be a rather boyish looking young man, not long out of West Point. The plans were quickly laid by which Lieutenant Ridder was to take an automobile up to Radford, going to one of the hotels and registering.
"You suspected?" he cried in amazement and chagrin. "I was morally certain that they were here. Today my suspicions were justified. I encountered Mr. Totten in the park beyond the Jungfraublick. He was very much upset, I can assure you, but he recovered with amazing swiftness. We sat on one of the benches in a nice little nook and had a long, long talk. He is a charming man.
"Colonel Totten and I will busy ourselves with the despatches that must be sent to Washington about this affair. But I trust, lads, you will not fail to realize the importance of prompt success." "It's a special duty to the Flag, sir," Captain Jack answered, simply. The automobiles were waiting outside. Lieutenant Ridder was given a three minutes' start.
"Do you hear 'em, Totten? Sounds better than howls of a crowd bored by machine-gun bullets, eh? How much chance do you think there is of starting a civil war among men who are laughing like that?" The chief of police had distributed his officers to posts of duty and was patrolling the rotunda. He saluted the mayor when Morrison came hurrying in through the main entrance. "All is fine, Chief!
Embarking on her, we got to Stevenson in a few hours, and finding at the post camp equipage that had been made ready for our use in crossing overland to Fort Totten, we set out the following forenoon, taking with us a small escort of infantry, transported in two light wagons, a couple of Mandans and the post interpreter going along as mounted guides.
But I have tried another plan with you and it did not succeed. I had hoped that I would not need these assistants whom I have just called in." "Totten, go bring the guard!" North's voice was balefully subdued. Rellihan looked straight ahead and twirled his stick. "I apologize for stretching my special exception a bit, and introducing these guests past the boys at the door," Stewart went on.
