as Perry retraced his steps and went
back to the garrison, carrying the little
packet in his hand. He went direct to
the guard house, and found Mr.. Graham
sulky over being disturbed in his snooze
by the sentry's challenge.
'tWhat the devil are You owing

not unnatural question. II thought it

that he had seen some men stealing out

to make the rounds of his sentries, while
Perry carried his packet home, locked it
in his desk, and then returned to the
veranda to await developments.

$50 sTN Stryker rode forth
~ some fifteen minutes
later. His orders from Col. Brainard
were to go to Dunraven, and, if he found
the marauders there, to arrest the entire
party and bring them back to the post.
From al that could be learned from hur-
ried questioning of the sentries and the
dazed, half drunken sergeant of the cor
raj. the troopers engaged in the raid
must have selected time when the sem
try was walking towards the south end
of his post to lift one of their number
over the wall of the Enclosure in which
We're kept the wagons and ambulances.
This man had unbarred from within the
gate leading eastward to the trail down
which the ''stock" was driven daily to
water in the Monee. Riley admitted
that 1.-THE boys" had left a bottle with
him which he and his assistant had
emptied before turning in, and so it hap
pened that, unheard and unseen, the
raiders had managed to slip out with a
dozen horses that were kept there and
had also taken six mules as mounts"
for those who could not find anything
better
Eighteen men, apparently. were in the
party, and the sentry on Number Three
heard hcof beats down towards the val
ley about half past 2 O'Clock. but thought
it was only some of the ponies belonging
to the Cheyenne scouts. There was one
comfort-the men had taken no firearms
with them; for hurried inspection of
the company quarters showed that the
carbines were all in their racks and the
revolvers in their cases. Some of the
men might have small caliber pistols of
their own, but the government arms had
not been disturbed. Half the party. at
least, must have ridden bareback and
with only watering brides for their
steeds. They We're indeed spelling for
a fight" and the result of the roll call
showed that the missing troopers were
all Irishmen and some of the best and
most popular men in the command.
Whatever their plan, thought STRIKER,
as he trotted down to the Monee, it was
probably carried out by this time: it was
now within minute of 4 o'clock
Only mile out he was overtaken by
DR.. Quin. who refined up an instant to
ask if any one had been sent ahead.

As the melancholy Dane,
Mr. Clarke assumes arolo the most diff
ticult Of portrayal in shakespearean
repertoire, and it was a revelation. He
surprised every one. In his acting
could be distinguished the blood and
fire of genius, genius that will in a
few years rival, if not overstep, the
great namo Of Edwin Booth. Those
who have feared that Booth would
leave no worthy successor, find in
Creston Clarke dissipation Of their
forebodings, for in him Booth lives
again, and lives in renewed youth and
vigor and greatness.
Mr.. Clarke is like his renowned un-
Gle the perfection Of grace upon the
stage. All his movements are natural,
he is entirely free from mannerisms
and assumption Of STACEY appearance.
He is born acter of the Shakespearean
school. His Hamlet is not unlike
Booths, differing really only in the
minor details.
The company in many Of its charac.
tiers is probably the youngest that eve
cssayed the production Of Shakers
