he lifted his eyes and saw that the widow

he had scent away from civilization had
not robbed Marsh Kendall of his innate
reverence for woman. He removed his
hat with courteous if somewhat uugrace-

" am the druggist what can do for
you?" asked the young woman. a little
smile playing round the sad curves of her
mouth and chasing the shadows from the
depths of the gray eyes.

In these same States there are thousands

Blade. This gentleman was boasting of
never having been Obliged to fight duel.
Another officer expressed his surprise
with some indirect illusions to the
Coloners lack of courage, observing:
How do you avoid fighting when in

The Colonel answered that he had never
given offense. and no one had ever pre-

Speak ng of queer dogs" said Mr..
Lawrence, manager of the post traders
store ut Smelling, to q Pioneer Press man,
there was one at Fort Sully that aroused
the interest and wonder of everybody in
the post.
He belonged to no one. He was not
bad-looking water spaniel, but appeared
to know thing or two. Every member
of our company treated him royalty, and
he was continually around them.
The minute any of his friends ap-
peared in citizens dress the dog refused
to recognize him, and no amount Of per-
suasion could induce him to make up. It
was often tried by the men for tun, but in
every single instance the dog showed his
teeth and trotted away.
He seemed to have particular affinity
for the boys of Company A. and many q
one has he saved from trouble.
There was certain guard post in
the fort that was not looked upon as be-
ing particularly important but you know
) bow strict regular army officers are.
and should a guard be caught mapping it
would 60 hard with hun. At this post
the dog would be found every night az
regular as clockwork. He stayed right
with the sentinel. aud his presence often
gave the soldiers an opportunity to catch
little rest.
They could go to sleep during the
late hours of the night, but the minute
the old dog heard the least sound of foot
steps he would scratch the guard roughly
on the shoulder and wake him up in time
TO meet the intruder, be he officer or
otherwise.
~ do not know of single instance
where n sentinel on this post was caught
mapping, though the officers tried it time
and time again. The sentinsls on other
posts did not fare half so we'll Company
A could net do too much for that animal
and is caring for him yet. though l
believe it is required that he be locked up
at night. This was a sad blow to the
men, for they were seldom yerv much
fatigued from guard duty when the dog
was with them"
