The Man Who Went Out

Capt. Edwin Graham, a genial, likable man, but a heavy drinker, awaits the arrival of his son, James, at the fort, where his uncle, the Colonel, has obtained him an appointment. Meanwhile, the Captain disobeys orders to the effect that no one shall leave the fort because of a threatened Indian attack. Out of whiskey, he sneaks away to the settlement saloon. There, next morning, his brother, the Colonel, finds him, and gives him his choice between being tried before a Court Martial or leaving the region forever. Captain Edwin disappears. His son, when he arrives, is told that his father died in a battle with the Indians. Two years later, the Captain, hungry for a glimpse of his son, returns. It is the night of Lieutenant James' wedding. The Colonel hides his brother in a closet, from which he can watch the ceremony. The Indians attack the fort and besiege it for days. They promise to depart if the white men will surrender to them one of their officers. Lots are drawn, and young James gets the fatal card. His father begs to be allowed to go in his place. At last, the Colonel consents. He slips his brother out to the Indians, who leave at dawn. At the fort it is supposed, simply, that the enemy has given up the siege.
