ever For the first six months, however,
he had things pretty much his own way,
as the troops in garrison were not strong
enough to take the field against him, and
some of the posts were even besieged now
and then. Our lines of communication
had to be kept open, and this duty de-
volved upon the scouts. Sometimes we
rode in twos and threes, but generally
it was safest to make the trip alone. In
such cases we Travelled by night, and de-
pended on lodging the Indians.
The direct route between these posts
was over an open country, broken with
dry gullies, as the plains always are,
but | never took that route. l kept to
the west to get the cover of the foot
hills, and, although this heightened the
journey by fifty miles, had show for
getting safely through. l had made it
three times, when the Indians became
so troublesome at McKavett that the
commandant at Concho was ordered to
re-enforce tho garrison from his own
weak force. 1t was decided to send ten
men, and scout named Rogers and my
self were to pilot them. The day before
we left Concho the Indians drove in our
herders and were so defiant that we
knew they must be in force. Not
withstanding this fact, when we got
ready to go the Lieutenant in charge of
the party determined to take the most
direct route, which covered distance
of about sixty-fve miles. He further
planned that we were to ride all night
and finish the rest of the distance by
daylight. The name of this officer was
Walton. If / remember right he had
been Major in colored regiment during
the war, but had seen no service. After
the war he had been transferred to the
regulars as Second Lieutnant. had
scarcely noticed him while in and out of
the post, and now when / came to size
him up 1 was greatly disappointed. He
knew nothing whatever of Indian war
fare, but was very conceited and egotis-
tical. His instructions to us were:
"We will head straight for McKavett
by the shortest route, and if we meet
any Indians we will ride them down"
When Rogers and l were alone he
said to me:
'Bid everybody a long goodbye be-
fore you start, for you are going to your
death"
"You don't like him? ?"
His ignorance and conceit will be
the destruction of tho party"
L felt so, too, but it was no use to
argue the matter. Like many other
fresh officers, Walton looked upon the
Indians as towards, who attacked only
lone or defenseless settlers, and who
would be oyerawed by the sight of

A GIRLS OWN BROTHER.
Why He Should BE Treated with Courtesy

Why He Should BE Treated with Courtesy
and Consideration.
"But, he's my own brother"
Is that any reason why you should
take his courtesies for granted, and
| never say "thank you?"
Is that any reason why you should
not try and make an evening at home
pleasant for him, instead of forcing him
| by your selfishness to seek his happi-
| ness somewhere else?
Is that any reason why you should
not think his opinion of your frocks,
your bonnets or your looks worth con-
| sideration?
Is that any reason why you should ap-
| pear before him in clumsy wrapper
and with your hair in papers?
Is that any reason why, when you
have man visitor, he should be made
to feel that you endured your brother
when there was nobody else, but that
when there was-well, then it was diff
ferent?
Is that any reason why you should not
be glad of n dance or game with him
| as your partner?
Is that any reason why you should not
listen to his word of advice about other
girls or their brothers?
Is that any reason why you should
not be interested in lis story of the
shooting or the hunting, when you are
in the same tales from other people?
Is that any reason WY you should
push him to the wall except when you
, need him, and then claim his attention
as your right?
because he is your very own brother
you ought to be ton-fold moro consid-
crate of him than of the brothers Of
other girls. Because he is your very
own brother you ought to study his
tastes and cater to them; read the books
that he likes and suggest others to him,
study the songs he fancies and be glad
to make new ones known to him. In
this way you will make your brother
your geiy 0ion, and to him sister will
be the most delightful among girls.
Are you your brothers. keeper? Yes, in
q way; but you do not keep him by
fetters formed OF ill-temper, untidiness
and lack of courtesy, but by one made
of every feminine grace and frightened
by sisterly love. That Is the keeper
that will give you your brothers love
and make you worthy the heart CT some
other girls brother, too. Ladies' Home

could say, but we meant to give them q
good fight.
1t was about 10 o'clock when they
moeod on us. AS was expected,
they first sent flag of truce, demand
ing our surrender and promising us good
treatment. When this was refused they
began circling our defense and firing
upon 1t. They had no idea OF its
strength, or they would not have wasted
their powder. The circle kept growing
narrower as they rode, and by and by
Rogers and / got in two shots apiece,
and each dropped warrior off his horse.
That broke them up and they retired for
council. While they were holding o
confab slipped over the rocks and se-
cured the rifles and ammunition of the
three dead warriors and got safely back,
and now we were ready for their next
move. They had concluded on SUR
round" and four-fifths of their number
scattered on foot and formed circle.
Then they advanced by creeping and
crawling and taking advantage of such
cover as they could find. Each Indian
fired as fast as he could. They proba-
bly, hoped that some chance bullet
might kill, and tloy reasoned that a
hullabaloo might affect our nerve. Wo
knew that IL would end in charge,
and we held our fire and made ready for
the critical moment.
We were under fire for full hour,
and the line was in some places only a
pistol-shot away, when the signal was
finally given. never could recall just
what took place. l know that some of
them gained the top of tho rocks, and [
know that Rogers got flesh wound
and his horse was killed, and all of a
sudden the redskins retreated. Two
warriors had fallen dead inside our de-
fense, and when we came to look about
we found three more outside, and were
sure the Indians had carried off num-
ber of dead and wounded. For an hour
after their defeat the redskins were in
council and out of range. Then another

flag of truce was sent forward. We
were complimented on our bravery, but
told that there was no possible help for
us. If we would surrender we would be
treated like brave men, but if not they
would put us to the torture before sun
down. We sent the fellow back with a
defiance, and half an hour later every
Indian mounted his horse. The band
divided into four parties, so as to take
us on all sides, and it now seemed as if
the pinch had come. If they had the
grit to charge up they could pour a
plunging fire down on us from their
saddles. We were as ready as we could
be and expecting every moment to hear
the signal, when the party on the north
suddenly Withdrew, and in five minutes
was followed by all the others. They
gathered in mob, held council for a
few minutes, and then the entire gang
rode off to the west and were soon out
of sight We suspected a trap, but after
waiting until four o'clock and seeing
nothing more of them we turned out
and headed for the fort and reached it
without further adventure. The Indians
had withdrawn because they knew it
was losing game.-N. Y. Sun.

LOOKING BACKWARD.

Tho melancholy days have come,
The saddest of the year, #r
When 1 am forced TO face the fact
That summer time is dear.
Alnsi I've not n dollar left,
And what have to show o.
For all my six months savings
That drew month ngof
My pretty flannel trousers
Are bcsmirched with grassy green.
My blue and whito.striped blazer
Is too dirty to be seen.
My tennis cap is faded
To n color without name,
And the laundrcss has reduced my shirts
To something like the same.
Flowers and ices, drives and bon bons,
Any man is sure to find
Will make his substance vanish
Lilto the chaff before the wind.
What with dancing and with tennis
(Though improbable it sounds),
weighed myself to day, and found
I'd lost just twenty pounds.
And seated atmy desk, ask
II II Is worth 1t all;
In spriLg always answer "yes,"
I'm doubtful in the fall.
But though I've found this outing,
Like all Others short and dear,
My inner conscience tolls me
That I'll do tho same next yea:.

Daniel wobster's Habits.

There has been good deal of contro-
versy about Mr. Webster's habits.
When he went to England he acquired
what / do not think was his habit be-
fore, he became convivial; and on his res
turn he showed an evident liking for
the brandy bottle. He was never an in
ebriate, but sometimes he made his
most powerful speeches while under the
influence of strong drink, and on more
than one occasion he was sadly the
worse for It, When he made his speech
at Richmond, under the October sun, aa
it was called, no drank so heavily at
dinner that when they took him out into
the State-house grounds. where he was
to speak, the Governor of the State said
he was afraid for him. Just before his
turn to speak came the Governor leaned
over and said to him. "Mr. Webster,
we will be ready for you presently"
Webster reused himself, drew his mas
sive hand up and through his hair, and
smoothed his face, and it seemed as IL
he had wiped away all signs of intoxica-
tion; and when a few moments later he
arose to face that enormous crowd no
was himself again, and for over an hour
he held that audience entranced with
his matchless oratory. America. .A..-

NE AVOIDS THE MACHINES SOW
a Young Man who Was Cured of
Dropping Nlckels In the Slot.
From the chicago Herald.

From the chicago Hetu'd
In those old days, when the treach.
ercus current was given full swing
in these pulling machines, there was
one of them set up in well.known re-
sort, and thither the men who had
already been victimized by II were wont
10 lure their victims. One night q
party of young bloods entered the place
on their devious way home from a
banquet. One of their number was a
very proper young man, who prided
himself upon his abstemious habits and
who cultivated q priced muscle in u
small gymnasium at his home.
On this occasion he had been indulg-
ing TO an unusual extent, and he was in
that condition in which Il man cares
nothing for nobody" The banquet
wine had taken the lower flat in his
brain. He saw the pulling machine,
topped by its alluring sign: "Iou can
rot pull your own weight" and he
looked volumes as he tossed aside his
iopcoat to demonstrate that at least he
could do so. Displaying his proligious
biceps by an aitful bending of his arms
he filled his lungs with air, grabbed
the handles of the machine firmly, and
pulled steadily.
All his energy was In that pull. But
a mean man who was near the electric
button had the hardihood to push it,
The young athlete shot up into space
and curled into ball. Then the cur
rent was turned Off, and he dropped to
the hard floor with resounding bump.
Recovering himself in moment he
donned his topcoat and withdrew with
out a word. He is still in Chicago, but
he has always avoided any sort of ma
chine, and has never even dropped a
coin in the slot.
