A veteran recollects Lieutenant Dick Xanthus of the Fifth Infantry who loved Maple Venable. After leaving camp to pursue the lass, Xanthus clashes with her brothers in a moonlit chase. He is wounded but survives and marries her. The tale ends with a note that a saber would have felt truer than a knife wound.
