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. Hum! said Lord Conniston, with an approving nod. You have kept your Christian name, I see. It is all that remains of my old life, replied Gore, bitterly. But your title, Conniston? Has disappeared, said the lancer, good-humoredly, until I can make enough money to gild it. Do you hope to do that on a private's pay? West shrugged his shoulders. I hope to fight my way during the war to a general's rank. With that and a V.C., an old castle and an older title, I may catch a dollar heiress by the time the Boers give in.
