      "Hullo, Gore!"

      The young soldier stopped, started, colored with annoyance, and with a surprised expression turned to look on the other soldier who had addressed him. After a moment's scrutiny of the stranger's genial smile he extended his hand with pleased recognition. "Conniston," said he, "I thought you were in America."

      "So I am; so don't call me Conniston at the pitch of your voice, old boy. His lordship of that name is camping on Californian slopes for a big game shoot. The warrior who stands before you is Dick West of the —— Lancers, the old Come-to-the-Fronts. And what are you doing as an Imperial Yeoman, Gore?"

      "Not that name," said the other, with an anxious glance around. "Like yourself, I don't want to be known."

      "Oh! So you are sailing under false colors also?"

      "Against my will, Conniston—I mean West. I am Corporal Bernard."
