If Tom had some difficulty in reconciling
his companions social position, general APP
pearance and evident culture with the terri
BILE actions of which she was guilty, Pene-
lope experienced no shock of incongruity in
comparing his supposed occupation with his
mental powers. With feminine rapidity,
Penelope decided that Mr. Brown wrote
short articles on society, for certain Journals
more remarkable for fiippancy of tone than
elevation of sentiment or depth of erudltlon.
She was soon confirmed in this belief, for the
next time that she met him was when she
was copying one of Moroni's portraits in the
National Gallery. He appeared to have no
particular business there, anil stood chatting
to her for half an hour, whilst she painted,
paying little attention to the pictures, but
discussing the people around with good hui
mored interest. She supposed he was col
lecting materials for a series of articles on
London picture galleries. Cn one point she
was conVinced-he was not looking at pic
lures from an artists point of view, and
therefore, she took some trouble to give him
a little superficial information on the sub
iect, with a hope of thus bringing his read
ers to IL knowledge of higher things. She
even told her sister that she was educating
the British public by means of stray jour-
nalist.
"Where on earth do you see him." asked
Marian, looking up from the papers she was
correcting.

STORY OF THE CUSTER MASsACRE.-Since
General Custer and his command of three
hundred were massacred by the braves of
Sitting Bull, two or three accounts have
been given which purported to be correct
history of the fight. But of the particulars
of the scene there have been only meagre
accounts The Pioneer Press now publishes
an interview between correspondent at
Standing Rock Agency and the wife of
Tatatukahegleska, or Spotted Horn Bull.
This woman is first cousin to Sitting Bull,
and the story is vOuched for as being true
account of the battle. After describing the
advance and retreat Of Major Reno-Whom
she declared to be either drunk or crazy,
and his men thoroughly panic-stricken-
the woman stated that the retreat and its
consequent slaughter was scarcely ended
when the blare of Custer's trumpets told
the Sioux of his approach; but they were
prepared for him. The men quietly crossed
the river, and hundreds gallOped to his
rear, out of range at first, but, soon hem
ming him in constantly narrowing circles.
The woman mounted her pony and rode
behind her camp, where she could Seta good
view of the hills beyond. She saw the
troops come up and dismount. Each fourth
man seized the brides of three horses besides
his own. The rest deployed and advanced
on the run toward the river. She saw the
terrible effect of the whitening fire which
greeted the approach from the willows on
the Indians side of the stream, and laughed
as she said: "Our people, boys and all
had plenty of guns and ammunition to
kill the new soldiers. Those who had run
away left them behind" Slowly trotting
north along the outskirts Of the encamp-
ment, she noted the Indians who had cross
ed getting closer to the troops. She watched
the latter-those who were left OF them
retreat to their horses and mount. She
heard the yells Of her kindred and the
shouts of the whites but soon, as the former
grew plentier and the latter fewer, she could
distinguish little save here and there an
animated cluster of men and horses.
Slowly the pony logged down the stream.
When she reached the MinneconjO camp, on
the extreme left, not an hours ride, she said
not one white soldier was visible on the
field. OF horses there were plenty; these
the Indians spared. The Custer men were
soon stripped, and the Indians knew they
had killed the long-haired chief; by his
buckskin coat trimmed with beaver which
they found upon him. The Sioux lostthirty
killed and more than twice as many wound
ed, the Indians numbering five thousand

Away back in the forties-we believe
