Sometimes the guide forgets and says Fort Whipple, for such was its name a former days. Should the tourist ask What Fort Myer is used for it is barely possible that the guide may say for the Signal Service, but should the guide bappen to know what he is talk- ing about he will say that Fort Myer is now the garrison homeot a couple of cavairy troops tnat ave seen bitter flguting on the frontier, and have ‘Deen placed Im this, one of the pleasantest posts in ‘thecountry, as a sort of reward for their hard knocks in thetr country’s service.

There are two large sleeping rooms for the men, With a company office fn the center, where the first sergeant keeps the books of the troop. ‘The iron cots are LOW covered With mosquito net- ‘Ung, and present a very neat appearance with the blankets rolled snugly into a bundle and placed with the pillow at the head. Under eact cot stands a ir of spurred boots, and at tue foot is a light drab chest, containing the clothes of each man. A little sheif over the holds the helract— the dress heimet with a lo yellow plume, and the white canvas fatigue headgear. A book 1a the wall by each bed 1s for the cavairyman's saber. At the end of the room is a stand of arms, a round arrangement, holding a circle of carbines below, wad another of pistols above, This is kept locked, and the key ts tn the charge of one of the troopers. It ts not unlocked except Lo allow the guard detail to draw Lesead pepe for patrol duty. When the re- porter entered a number of the men were lounging around the room in neglige costumes, reading Books and papers, chatting, and, In some Instances, even though it was Sunday, —s a quiet game of cards. Good uature beamed forth on every side, as though the warlike instincts had been | subdued by the peaceful surrounding. It is a fact, however, that scarcely a third of the Indian fght- ers are now on duty at the post, the rest of them having deserted, or served out their terms of en- Ustment, and their places taken by raw recruits, The other barracks are arranged the same as the old ones, except that the first se “ant has a cozy room of bis own across the hall-room frow his ofice. The quarters are larger and better ventl- lated, and there is greater ease in moving around. Upstairs is a billiard table and accommodations for other games and for reading. THE MESS-HALLS of both troops are in one Dullding, separated by a partition. The food that 1s served to the men 1s plain aud homely, but 1s well prenared by the cooks, Who are men detailed from the ranks for this duty. They work on immense ranges that will cook a half-bushel oF so Of potatoes and enough imeat to last an ordinary fumily two weeks, The meals are set out on long tables in a large room t to the kitchen, and the men, divided luto | messes, help themselves. Corned and fresh beet, | pork, potatoes and other vegetabies, and bread are | the thatnstays of a soldior's stomach, By skiltul | management a cock sometimes saves enough ra- Uons from his supply during a month to cnable him to provide a variety of fare aad someumes | desserts, This 1s procured by money paid by the | quartermaster for stores thus saved. | ‘The reporter, tm taking the trip around, noticed by this ime that Sergeant Kennie was getting a | little nervous. It was growing toward 6 o'clock, the time for the dress parade, and the men had al- most all gone Lo the stabies, saddled their horses, and gone back to their quarters to dress up in their dashing uniforms, with yellow trimmings. As the sergeant Walked back toward his house ne stopped at the 6's stable and saddled bis nag, a splendid animal, with a black, shiny coat. ‘fhe ant, holding the saddle’ witu its seeming tangle of Taps, stood On Ube left side of the horse, and Wik quick movement threw tt over the back so that | At teil squarely on the blanket, with every strap in | lace. ‘The broad girth was brought around and | tackled, the bridle was slipped on, and everything | Was ready but the sergeant, who had yet to don his full-dress uniform.

THE BUGLE CALL A bugle call sounded faintly from the quarters. It was the irst call for tue troops to fail tn at the | barracks. The chief trumpeter, mounted on a| great gray horse, was waiting in front of the | A RUSTIC BRIDGE leads the visitor to the eastern Umit of the plain Where the pretty quarters of the officers stand. ‘They are shaded by handsome trees, and sur- rounded by neat lawns and flower beds.

He was at home, and more than willing to guide the reporter over the grounds. THE STABLES. ‘The stables were frst visited. There are two of ‘them, one for each troop, and stand side by side | about a quarter of a mile southwest of the en- trance.

Shasta was named by Russian travelers, the proper deri- vation of the word being Tcheste, meaning chaste, Pure, It is the culminating peak of the coast and Sierra ranges, and has an altitude of 14,444 feet. Its glaciers extend for more than two miles down {te slopes. We sat for an hour on the hotel porc! trying to familiarize ourselves with this strange mountain, but ite unearthly aspect did not change F Us, “It is terrible to be up there!” said Hal, with almost a shudder. “One is in Bo danger Of Ung the experience.

Our hearts throbbed painfully, and we drew our breath in gasps. “Before we commenced the descent a fierce blast tore the mists asunder, revealing the grandest picture we shall ever behold on earth, Prom the majestic temple we could see hundreds of miles of kaleidoscopic landscape.
