st: adding variables within time range

Hi Stata users - so new at Stata I am not sure how to word this. I have data with the time variable in military format. There is also another variable in the row which is an integer just representing length of time, in minutes. A small snip is as follows:
Time Length
236 24
145 300
218 10
2334 31
What I want to do is add length, for all times occurring between 1 and 3am, 3-5am, and so on.
In this example 1-3am would be = 24+300+10.
Do I have to create a new variable for each time slice I choose? If so, how would I do the addition?
Thank you!
Greg
