CHAPTER liz.
G.

The course of Angus was uaexpect-
ed and significant, his signals revealing
TO the British officer that others were
near. Don't fire." he exclaimed to
the soldier near him. ''Disarm the
boy, bayonet him if he r~esists. then
mount and follow"
The infantryman as we learned in a
previous chapter had advanced the
point of his weapon to the throat of
Angus, who had thrown himself off his
horse to give the four whistles which
would bring George back and put him
on his guard. Before the boy could
gather himself up from his fall the sol
der was again almost upon him with
his cleaning bayonet, intending first
to kin and then disarm him. Spurred
by the powerful instinct to shun death,
Angus darted under the horses body,
Selling in his half-conscious, desperate
effort for self-preservation the legs of
the officer. who was preparing to
mount. and jerking with such violence
as to throw their owner upon his back.
Bouncing upon him like a young pan
Their the boy drew the officers pistol
from his belt, then turned and fred al
most in the face of the pursuing sol
dier. The man dropped dead across
the body of the struggling officer and
bore him to the earth again. Painting
and actually crying from excitement
and horror at the tragedy, Angus new
erthcless through all the terrible ordeal
held fast to the principle of duty.
Snatching up the soldiers musket he
shouted TO the officer, ''Lie still, or I'll
pin you TO the ground" then sent out
an agonizing cry, George! B~urton!'
All had taken place in far briefer
time than has been required in relating
the events. The shot had brought
Burton galloping back. He had been
on the right of the scouting line and
not very far off. In obedience to the
signal he had retreated slowly and re-
luctanily, but after the report of the
pistol fired by Angus, he had no other
though than that of reaching his lead
cr and the boy he loved. George had
been startled and perplexed at the four
whistles given by other lips than his
own. Believing that there must be
good reasons for them, he began TO re-
trace his steps cautiously, for he had
crept very near to the enemy. The
shot, however, which came an instant
later gave wings to his fect,a and be and
Burton met at almost the same mo-
ment.
They were too much astonished for
a moment to speak as they witnessed
the scene before them-the horses gone,
n British officer on his back with a
dead soldier lying cross him. and An
gus %sobbing, yet ready to use the bayo-
net should there be need.
"What on earth does all this mean,
GuSr" cried George.
Take the musket-luick, I'm SICK
was the boys reply.
Burton caught him a he almost

Don't YOU fret about being a man.
Your gristle will harden mighty fast
the next few weeks
"Ah. Burton, | don't feel sure of
seeing the next few hours. See, there s
a troop of cavalry following us
"Come, brother Gus, you're tired TO
death, and, therefore, blue. All the
rest of us know that any one SO plucky
and lucky is bound to live through
everything, and make a name. The
Ensign You captured said that Major
Hanger, who commanded the cavalry,
vas wounded, and ] believe it was
your shot that knocked him over;" and
SO he strove to cheer and rally the boy
into his usual courage and h%opefulness.
The n%ursrin~ force of the encmy's
cavalry being small, Graham was in
duced by his officers to form his men
in line on the brow Of the hill. and
await an attack. The action was rather
contrary TO lGs Judgment, for he be
licved that other and larger bodies of
troops must be in the vicinity. The
foe, precciving his defensive attitude.
approached SO slowly and warily. and
began firing at such long range that he
was soon led 10 suspect that their at
tack was only q fcint to detain him,
and he expressed his fears to his Off
GERS, but they. for a time, overruled
his desire to continue the retreat.
At last, but I'll too late, he resumed
his march. As his little force APP
preached a cro9s-road they say Il large
body of English troops riding rapidly
forward to intercept them. Sharp and
shrill the bugle sounded. Forward,
gallop! and away they went, receiving
shots in the flank and real as they
passed the fatal point.

said to the officer, Rise, if YOU can.

Victims of a Death Trap.

PtPiLLIoN, Aug. l7.-At 6 o'clock lasl
evening three men were killed and several
badly manned by the caviag In of a bank in
the big cut on the Missouri Pacific grade,
north Of town. The accident occurred on the
work Of contractors Jensen and Knight. of
Omaha. The particulars are substantially as
follows: The cut where the accident hap
pcned is the deepest on the new line Of the
Missouri Pacific. Dirt was being moved by
small dump cars, and a channel eighty feet
wide was being dug through the hill to allow
the cars to run through. The banks on each
side were forty feet high and very steep. A
gang OF fourteen men were IN the cut at the
time Of the accident, which came without
warning. Nearly all were buried. but five
crawled out unaided. A large force Of men
soon began the work of digging out
one OF the first brought to
the surface. DR.. Bond, of Papil.

broken. Antonio Rasmussen wos taken out
with both arms broken. Chris Olesen was
brought alive, but his spine is crushed. He
will die. Henry Walter, John Rierdon and
Con Shenan were deed when found. The
bodies were put on a dump car and taken to
the camp near by.
BY this time the men were greatly excited.
One man stood ON top Of the car containing
the corpses OF his comrades and violently de-
nounced the contractors for sending the Ia

into their flank. That brought them to
a halt instantly. I've no doubt they
thought the woods were full Of us. and

The command had now followed up
the ravine so far rs to approach the
forest. George said the major,
''pick out IA dozen active fellows, scout
thead of us and locate the enemy's
position. Meanwhile, III move to the
left along the edge of the woods toward
the road
George delighted in such dangerous
and exciting service, and Burton and
Angus were among the first That he Sc
lected to accompany him. fastening
forward with his little band he directed
that two should keep together, and
that they should then spread out so as
to V a wide erea and yet keep with
in hailing distance of each other. Thus,
in their advance, they were like %feelers
for the main body protecting it against
surprise. The eyes of every scout was
another pair of eyes to the major, for
all that vas seen would be reported to
him. Since Angus was now mounted
on a fresh horse, George kept the boy
near him to be employed as IA trusty
messenger to his brother. He had
given to his men a few signals: One
whistle signitied TO continue advancing;
two whistles to halt; three for man to
dismount and advance stealthily on foot
while his comrade held his horse; four
ordered a retreat, and one long whistle
meant fire.
Away they went through the woods,
covering the van and right flank of
Major Graham's advance. They had
not gone very far before two whistles
brought every horse and rider to a
halt.
''Hold my horse, Gus" said George,
leaping down. "I've caught a glimpse
of a red coat" and he darted forward
from tree to tree with the swift vet
cautious movement Of an Indian. He
Dol perceived that numbers of the
enemy were apparently returning from
an unsuccessful beating of the woods
and, believing that with the clew he
had obtained, his eyes would be worth
more than Il dozen, he left his men
standing where his last order
detained them and continued
to creep toward his foes, who were re-
joining the main body IN the road.
and so he disappeared from the vision
of Angus who. nevertheless, was strain
ing his eyes on the spot where his
young leader was last seen, and con-
centrating al his faculties to catch
some indication of his return. Before
many moments passed, the boy was
taught the lesson that, in such warfare,
a soldiers watchfulness can be too con-
centrated. A voice said, almost in his
ear, Surrender. and keep silent"
Turning with a violent start, he saw a
young British ensign leveling Il pistol
at him, while n burly, relocated in
f|antryman threatened him with his
bayonet.
In the confused, awful moment that
followed, but one thing was clear-he
must warn George and the others at
every cost to himself. He gasped the
word mother" tumbled off his horse.

four shrill whistles, which meant ere

The Knights Of Labor.

New York Special: The Herald this morn
inr prints a two-column interview with Mr..
Powderly upon the coming convention Of the
Knights Of Labor, TO be held at Richmond.

Knights Of Labor the field Of their operations.

determined that no member Of any other or

Mr.. Powderly then said that he thought 1t
would be necessary for the convention TO take
definite action In regard to strikes.
Whatever legislation Is enacted will relate
to the strike Or the boycott. Mr.. Powderly
was asked II his organization placed more re-
lance In boycotts and strikes than it did ia

No. 1t does not. IT believes In the judicious
