 "Hullo, Gore1!"
 
The young soldier stopped, started, colored with annoyance2, and with a surprised expression turned to look on the other soldier who had addressed him. After a moment's scrutiny3 of the stranger's genial4 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 warrior5 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 Christian6 name, I see."
 
"It is all that remains7 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 gild8 it."
 
"Do you hope to do that on a private's pay?"
 
West shrugged9 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."
