He never had any more baggage than 8 private
trooper. he could ride as hard and fast and
far as the best Of US. He never seemed weary
with work, though often worn with anxiety for
his men. He had to exact many hardships of
his officers and soldiers, but never one that
he did not undergo himself. He was so ahste-
mious that our solace Of coffee or tobacco was
unknown to him. He would touch nothing that
would impair the nerves. He rode great big
mule in Arizona because the creature could out
travel any horse in the department; and he
would sometimes make his seventy miles a day
and leave his escort hopelessly behind. He was
absolutely untiring on the trail or on the chase;
but gentleness itself TO those around him He
despised shirk, and, as such char

an officer, as simple and direct in everything
he thought and said as in the habits of his
daily life; and boys, he was the soul Of truth
and honor. George Crook never knew what it

DARN tree, permitted them to pick with their
own hands some OF the small. sweet. early
oranges, of which it hung full. She is Italian,
but like nearly every attendant in the Italian
hotels, she speaks French, snd finding that the
girls could speak it a little. she talked it to
them good naturediy, and with great distinct
ness, giving them q little lesson in the language
along with the mandarins. 1t was not long
before, from the open windows above, we could
hear their eager replies, ''Oui! QUIZ le compre-
hendsl" along with their happy laughter.
Then another surprise. They had seen on the
terrace an interesting young girl of about their
own age, who cast wistful eyes at them. After
the adventure in the garden, the bousekeeper
took them into small private parlor where
this girl met them with smiling but embarrassed
pleasure. She was Russian and could not speak
English. They could not speak Russian. The
housekeeper, with word OF announcement,
had disappeared. But that word was French,
which the little Russian appeared to understand.
Then began a process of getting acquainted
which, from the account Gabrielle gave of it
afterwards must have been amusing. The
little Russian spoke French as if it had been her
native tongue, as in one sense it was. The two
American girls, although they could read it a
little, could speak 1t hardly at all. But the
quickly became friends and got on very well
with the aid of signs and dictionary. The girl S
parents extended q cordial welcome to the two
strangers who quickly became intimate in the
family and made such progress as only chill dren
can in speaking the new language with these
new friends.
Another circumstance favored their rapid
acquisition of the colloquial use OF the French.
At the table 'hote-particularly at one end of it
hardly any other language was heard. The
walters spoke it, and there were present Rus

all spoke It well or i'll, and made 1t their com

The month of December came. Snow had

OF armed horsemen was pushing forward over
prairie and stream, intent on attacking the In
dams and rescuing the captiyes. The soldiers
pressed on hastily, breaking camp early in the
morning and riding till the light faded out.
The Indians had been lulled to false Sc

herd OF mustangs with only solitary Indian
