Chieago Herald. The recent reported burning of Fort McKianey, in Wyoming, reminds many an army man of the destruction of old Fort Discovery, in New Mexico, some twelve years ago. And it reminds at least one good woman, who is today tho wife of a wenlthy merchant, of the one trouble that life has seen fit to visit upon her I Discovery was manned by two com- panies of infantey, two cavalry troops and a battery. Among the cavalrymen was Mark Whipple, as handsome an en- listed man ns ever went into the army, and a soldier as full of the mental ma- terial for good deeds as any company commander would desire to find, But he was, up to the time Fort Discovery burned, considered one of the most un- fortunate fellows that ever stepped into a uniform. Soldiers who could not com- pare with him in appearance or soldierly bearing, and who by no means were as well informed on matters generally both in and out of the army, passed him con- stantly in the matter of promotion. Time and agunin, when there was a va- cancy in the corporals’ line, all the troop would agree this was the time for Whipple, and time and again, right at the moment when nothing should. have happened,this man Whipple found him- self confronted with his pestiferous ill- fortune, and all his hopes were dashed in the selection of some other soidier. In the first place, Higgins, the rank- ing duty sergeant, was dischurged and o general promotion of every non com- missioned officer in the troop was de- cided upon, Liecutenant Adams, the adjutant, remarked to the compuany com- mander that Whipple would make a good man for corporal, and his promo- tion was decided on. But the very even- ing when his nnme was to have been read he failed to answer at rolleall, and, of course, & man ‘*not present or ac- counted for” could not be selectea for military honor of even so modest a sort. It is true, when he did turn up at bar- racks, some three hours later, he ex- plained his absence so well that the captain told him to go back to his quar- ters and “be careful next time;” but meanwhile another soldier had put on cheyrons, and Whipple continued to walk'post and carry a carbine. Next time Gil Elliot, a corporal, came and was s0_hopelessly intoxic: while on guard that he couldn't tell the officer of the day from an Apache upris- ing, and he was ‘“‘broke to the ranks,” with a suggestlon of official displensure in a five duys’ imprisonment. That lelt the way open again, and Whipple seemed to know intuitively that vhe au- thovities intended promoting him, but at the Sunday inspection, when his name should have been read out as a =ovporal, his cartridge box was found so full of cuctus leaves that the major, who in- spected him, wounded his fingers shame- fuily, and, pulling off his thin, white gloves, that had proved no sort of pro- tection against the sharp needles of the plant, slapped the careless soldier in the fuce with them, and sent him to the guardhouse, Some of the men thought that an ex- cellent joke, and wondered for days af- terwards if the major would bo so willing to thrust his fingors into haversacks and similar places. The officers them- selves found some sort of pleasure in guying the unfortunate brother on his swollen and inflamed digits, but they did not for n moment permit their badinage to be heard in the quarters. To be sure, Whipple asked permis- sion to see the commanding officer, and, with ready tears, convinced him some enemy had concealed the cactus in the harness, foreseeing just what would happen. And, to be sure, the command- ing officer accepted the statement, being loth to believe anything bad of 50 uniformly excellenta soldier. But the most he could do was remit the guard- house sentence and return the man for duty. The day of this promotion had gone by. Then when Sergeant Buain and Cor- porals Cooper and Smith ran away to- gether, deserting the secvice of their common country for the poor repose of an Albuquerque gambling room, and when they had, bzen captured mainly vhrough the courage and fidelity and en- durance of Private Whipple—then was the day of his prospering. No one doubted he would be selected at least for corporal, and the less informed ex- pressed a belief that he mighteven hope for the stripes dishonored and discarded by Sergeant Bain. The ofticers them- solves thought the matter over, and while a little skittish of the man whose ill luck always atiacked him on the eve of promotion, yetconcluded good service and soldierly appearance must outweigh the unexplainable, and they directed the adjutant to mike Whipple a cor- poral, At the retreat that evening every man in the fort not on duty gathered on the parade ground to hear young Whipple read out a corporal. But at the very instant when the buglers were blowing “fall in,” a loud voice sounded from the cavalry squad room, cursing the com- munding officer from the sole of his feet —from the sole of a foot that had marched one day at Gettysburg over a sod more red than green up to acannon's mouth and captured the mighty gun— from the sole of that honored foot to the crown of o “good gray head that all men knew.” The voice was loud and ungry with the aithering incoherence of a drunken mun. ‘Whipple was not on the parade ground at the time, having been excused from rolleall for two days in compliment to hie courage in overhauling the desert- ers. The whole command forgot disc rllno. Every man craned his neck to ook for the biaze of wrath they knew must come. An ordurl{y ran from the group of officers at the flag poles, sprang up the steps to the cavalry quarters, holding his saber from clanking, and bounded into thesquad room. Noone was here. The four walls were guiltless of 4 voice, and the silent camp boxes dis- claimed any knowledge. The open win- dows permitted a view of sandy plain and Jagged rockway, with scattered sage und cedar shrubs across a mile of level; but there wus no Whipple in sight. So the little group of officers, somewhat crestfallon at a punishment postponed and a good deal bound up in the resolve to sift this mystery, erased the name of Whipple from the roll, and promoted another mun. And as the orderly sergeant turned to snlute the officer of the day, after hav- fug called the roll and announced to- morrow’s detail, he saw the maseive frame and handsome face of Whipple standing on the rocks beyond the officers’ quartors, and watching just be- yond the range of speech that scene which he must know meant the coveted honor for him. Clearly he could not have been in the barrucks when that mysterious voice did high dishonor to his colonel’s name. But, as usual, it was too late. The officers wanted to know who had offended, and, wnnllng that, they lis- tened only coldly to Private Whrpplo. He hud come with excuses so often. And then he fell in love. That is rralty nearly the unpardonable sin in he army. A man has vo right o the tender passion during his five years en- gogement to Uncle Sam, The women he might love in fyegr climes are seldom of the kind he can wod without trouble for himself or comptpmise for them. And Whipple’s div nh_v was, of course, the very one of al}!iborn women whom he should havé 16 jalone. She was the sister of Major! Conrad, a handsome slip of & girl, “just out of schooi, and knowing 100 lifte of army life to set the mark of difference between rank and file. She found this man Whipple the beau ideal of excellence, Ho was so tall and well favoréd.” He turned with such an ease and precision as she watched him walk his bet from her hammock over there o officers’ row. All the lieutenants woro 8o trivial beside him, and all the silty” twaddle they indulged in was so small in comparison to the noble things she could imagine of him. Aad 80 she came tolove him. And that woman is very dull indeed who can love a man and fail to find some messengers. Whipple found out in an unaccount- ably short time that there was a heart which beat for him: here were eyes which opened for him only of all the world, and here were hands that wove of all the hopes and fears of sober life a garmentof the possible which he might wear. Her brother heard about it and laughed at her. But when he found ler buttressed in hor resolves he frowned upon her. Observing how stronger still this made the maiden, he issued com- mands, and there it ended. But one night in May, now fifteen yeurs ago, the climax came. There was u store of ammunition in the arsenal for three forts here in the territories, and a year’s supply for Fort Discovery. At the sundown vrolleall Whipple was present, at the left of the line, us usual, upright, attentive, military. ~All the evening he wus in common sight, pas: ing from one squad roum to another, or dropping for a mement into the club house, where books and_papors could be read. At tattoo he was in his customar place in the rauks and answered his nume as promptly as any wman, And after that he undressed andJay down upon his bunk much in the Gsual fash- fon, suying little to his comrades, but waiting with them for the trumpeter to blow “‘taps,’”’ and so close another day. But just as the three last notes on the bugle sounded across the parade ground, hushing the quarters and _doubling vigilance at the posts, some distant lips put up the ery *‘firel” Every man in the fort heard that Every man and woman heard it again— ard again, and saw it, too, a moment later. The bugle changed from sleepy “taps” to wild “‘assembly,” and the hur- rying feet of soldiers told no furth commands were necessary. Two hun- dred men rushed across the parade ground to the store houses, snatched the few buckets p-epared for them and plunged down the hill for water. They ormed a line in a moment under the quiet orders of officers, and they passed a swift stream up to the bluzing tim- bers. The men who -had been promoted in place of Private Whipple were close to the fire and busy with the work of ex- tinguishing. When the cry of warning came they of all men looked neithee to the right nor Jeft, but labored on. They had been placed there by order. and here they worked with the same heroism which cdnquers citics. But heré was the magazine and all the water in the world could not cut off those flames. 'The timbers ul the powder room were blazing. The boards on which the great cans set were on fire. The roof above was crumbling into couls that fell in fearful showers upon the even ranks of pent-up horror. And in a momept . the order came to full back. Bus it was too..sadly late. The strong brick walls, the thick adobe and the mussive stone were hurled in a hundred directions by an_explosion that shook the very earth, and sent a linger- ing volcano of fire and fragments up into the siient sky. In all this time no one had seen Whipple. He was on the -bunk when that trumpet changed from ‘‘taps’” to wakeful order. Since then his massive figure, his cool head and strong hand had not been noticed. No one counted the absence then, for there was incident enough. There was terrifying struggle in the hour that followed the explosion. There was tax enough tor men and wo- men in caring for the hardy soldiers who had fallen when the walls went down. And thore was & night of busy cursing, struggling. failing, triumphant effort that drove any iudividual from the general thought. Mujor Conrad was the first to recover. He could not find his sister. Without for an instant connecting her with any man. he wondered where she was, A tour of the officers’ quarters failed to iscover her. A hurried search was dly rewarded. Then came the news that the stables had been opened from the farther side and that the best two horses had been taken out, one of them with a side sad- dle. At midnight, the worst being over, the compuny commanders ordered a rolleall, and the adjutants read the numes by the light of burning bar- racks. Private Whipple was neither sipresent nor accountad for.” Ordinarily he would have been granted this night of grace, But Major Conrad asked for a mounted detail and galloped down the road with a'dozen men. mile from the fort they came to fresh heofprints. Two miles und they could hear tho reg- ular beat of iron shoes on the shingly rocks by Navajoe. An hour, and the great white moon showed thewn a sil- houett againste thestars just rising the pass ten miles from the fort. Daybreak showed them a fleeing pair down there in the valley, settled to a dogged running with the fastest horses in tho department, and the grim major ground his teeth with the hopelessness of overtaking them. They should not have been captured. There was nothing but resolution, ten- acity behind them; there was liberty before. But at the very time when the chase seemod m? t hopeless and eacape assured, the tafl man in that flyin, couple turned Bisbridle rein, deserte E‘f slender companion and made for the ills. i The girl gave a little ecream of af- fright and swerved a moment in the saddle. Then slile reined up, looked with staring eyes at the splendid sol- dierly tigure riding so easily away from her, and, turning, fronted Major Conrad and his men. g The officer gh\'p no greeting to his sis- ter. He scartply looked at her. He only detailed @ man to take her in charge, then 1 his pursuit across the level and into the hills where Whipple had sought a hiding. They plungdd’ down a canyon, they pushed up a slope, they followed the eayy trail of the fugitive, never once slucking rein, never for a moment paus- ing on the way. And st noon they found an empty sad- dle and a panting horse on the very highest top of the very highest hill in the territory, Where the recreant Whipple had gone they did not know. There was nota footprint in the sand, there was not a twig disturbed to tell where Le had yanished. They hunted for hours with carbines in their hands, | and with a hard resolve to kill or cap- ture this miscreant who had in one night added arson and kidnaping and basest desertion to his record. But they’did not fln1l him. Under a sinking sun they returned to the valley rond and came upon the poor girl wait- ing for them in charge of a 8tolc soldier. “Who was with you?” demanded Ma jor Conrad of his nistor\ “Didn’t you find him?” asked the girl and following the query came n slow dis- covery and a swift resolve. She would not say a word. Thoy took her back to camp. Atsundown they rode alono into the dismantled, blackened, smoking ruin —and tho first man thoy saw o the g’rmlpa discussing the fire was Private Whipple. He seomed to have been in the fort all :11\?'. An inquiry failed to fasten any- thing upon him. The girl closed her lips and would not speak. Snhe was packed off to the stutes, for they could neither compel nor punish her. ~ Whip- ple pointed to his presence at the regular rotlcalls and defied discipline, They could not convict him. The ruined fort was abandonea. Its tumbled walls still tell the tale of that fire which came in the nightsostrangely, but they tell no more. And to this day no man knows how the blaze began.
