ON THE TRAIL OF GERONIMO. 11 “Do you know in what branch of the service you will serve?” “The three or four or five, as the case may be, who are lucky enough to lead the rest, go into the engineer corps; then come a few more in the artil- lery, then the cavalry, while the majority enter the infantry.” “Do you know to which branch you are as signed ?”’ ‘The cavalry—my chosen field.” “Do you have to enter upon your duties at once?” “No; we all have a three months’ furlough, at the end of which we must report to our commands. September must find me at Fort Grant, Arizona.” “Why, leutenant!” exclaimed Miss Harland, with a pretty start; ‘you will not be far from my home!” “ Are you glad?” “What a question! Papa’s ranch is within a hundred miles of Fort Grant, and I hope we shal} often see you.” He earnestly reciprocated the wish, and they parted, little dreaming of the circumstances unde? which they should meet again.
