ages fire the prairie. That, they knew. would be the last resort. The Indians wanted to preserve the grass in that vi cinity of their camping grounds, and they especially wanted to secure the powder belonging to the trains. At that time each wagon carried one or two twenty five pound kegs. There was policy, too, in deceiving the Indians in regard to the supply of ammunition. If the men were reckless in firing and wasted bullets on ponies unnecessarily, it would immediately make known the fact that they could hold out long time, and the Indians would accordingly husband their resources.
 The sun rode high in the heavens, and the blue sky of the morning turned to a white heat. The cattle in the corral bawled for water in every Hull of the firing, and raised their great horns and looked with dumb wonder out of their glassy eyes when the noise began again and the stifiing smoke puffed in their nostrils. A detail of the drivers stood guard over them to prevent them from stampeding from side to side of the cor ral. Once in awhile one of the beasts fell over with bullet hole in his hide
 The strategy of the hour was to gain time. It was folly to think of weaken ing such band of Indians so that they would abandon the siege. The raid had evidently been we'll planned, and the savages were doubtless we'll aware of the value of the booty. Constant vigilance on the part of every man in the corral was maintained for hours. For long time the two women obeyed orders and sat in barricaded wagon that had been retained within the inclosure for their use, but the excitement was too great: they could not endure the inactivity besides the wagon masters wife could load gun as we'll as any man, and she had been in more than one Indian fight They climbed down cautiously and she was assigned a position where she could load for a sharpshooter, so that he might not lose a single opportunity to hit a redskin.
 Just at that moment two of the men in the corral fell over. one mortally hurt and the other with a shattered arm Then the woman from St. Louis had something to do. Both the men were borne into the shade of the wagon, and in a very few minutes the sergeant who knelt beside the unconscious man pro- nounced him dead. A few gentle but hurried movements strengthened his warm limbs, an army blanket was spread over him and all that part of his being that could fear an Indian passed beyond the corral. The sergeant had at one time been detailed on special duty with an army surgeon and had picked up a little knowledge that now proved to be of value to the man with the wounded arm. That member was dressed and bandaged, and the quiet woman very naturally assumed the place of nurse.
 But the motionless form lying there under the blanket-that was the awful presence to this besieged company. Who would lie next beside him? the question would arise in every mans mind.
 AS the day wore on toward it's close the only hopeful sign the caravan could see was that the Indians in the camp by the river were growing restless. They sent out scouts to scan the prairies from the highlands at short intervals and

gesticulations, which were easily inter- preted to mean that the soldiers must retire or he would not advance. Captain King waved him back and motioned that his men would stand their ground.
 The maddened Indian dug his spurs into his pony's sides and galloped back to the camp After few minutes par ley he started out again with score of painted braves at his back. As they ad- vanced, Captain King stepped forward alone and signiied his willingness to
 listen to the courier who carried the
 white flag. He was told that the savages demanded complete surrender and ex- tended a promise of kind treatment. These terms they thought would be ac- cepted because of their superior num-
 bers. When the Indian had delivered
 his message the captain pointed behind
 him to the soldiers-of whose presence
 in the corral he hoped the Indians had
 not known the day before, and said:
 "You see we have the Great Fathers fighting men to protect us, and before
 noon today there will be many more at
 the Big Rock, on the way from Fort | Dodge. When they come we will fight
 you in open field. Till then we have great stores of powder and bullets. We ! will not surrender The mutterings of anger and disap- point1nent were loud, but with little hesitation the Indians withdrew and | hurried back to their waiting people in
 camp
 l The American Indian, whether he be a high chief and great brave, or a
 graduate of an agency school, respects no white man so much as well armed United States soldier. Captain King knew this fact, and counted wisely the | effect of few uniforms. He agreed l with the men in the corral, too, that the | Indians were probably about out of am munition, otherwise they would have re-
 newed the attack at daybreak. Before the sun was three hours high l on this the second morning of the siege, the Indians were growing dilnmer and ! dimmer in long line, creeping over the l plains southward, and the men under Captain Kings command thanked heaven
 and him for their deliverance
 Jose Valdez and his companion were l buried at the foot of Pawnee Rock, the 1 pile that yet stands as a monument for
 uncounted dead. Perhaps every nation
 on earth, surely the greater number out | of all, has contributed its grave to this
 spot, where the bones of men were
 plowed up for many years after the | white settler took possession.
 "Thar's no preacher by to pray over | him." said one, '.and we've often had

 ''It's comfort they can both speak l Spanish" said another; "l reckon it'll
 make the journey easier. It must be a
 lonesome road even with company"
 'Poor old Jose; if he could jest hev 1 told 'em about it back at Santa Fe he'd

 At Fort Dodge the soldiers left the
 train. No halt was made there. The captain said he thought it better to push on, as so much time had been lost at
 Pawnee Rock.
 At the fort the trail left the Arkansas and struck across the country in more southwesterly direction toward the C- marron river Day after day the heavy train toiled on. slowly and crealzingly in the hot sun.
 It was an agreeable Advertisement in those monotonous days-as it is in all phases and conditions of human life-to have pair of lovers in the company, and the movements of the captain and Janey were watched with eager but un- obtrusige scrutiny. Their little side ex- cursions on horseback, their long talks in the twilight after the corral was formed and the tender glances that often passed swiftly between them were all noted; but these things did not solve the mystery surrounding King and this
 woman, and as yet no explanation had
 been offered by the captain further than what he said on the night he came to their aid at Pawnee Rock-that she was
 his promised wife.
 The route of the trail from the point
 where it touched the Cimarron was up
 the stream for considerable distance
 and then due southwest to the Catholic
 mission of San Miguel It now lay
 through more broken country. The foothills and low lying spurs of the mountains run out into the adjacent country for many miles, and diversity the plains and the alkali fields with new and pleasing scenes. Mountain streams

 great, perpetually snow covered divide appearing in the low distance like q sil very line on blue base.
 Each days travel increased the alti-

EVERYTHING BUT DEATH

Miss A. K. Davis, a young lady living in this city, has for several years past been great sui rerer from nervous debility, at times amounting to nervous proStration. She had been treated by d great many specialists, but had obtained no relief Her mind dwelt constantly upon this af- tictfon, and she was unable to concentrate it up- on any other subject. She suffered from dilnneSs of vision, backache, pain following the course Of the spine, and such headaches (she satd) as nor tai never suffered befoTe She feared at times she would lose her mind, so much did she suffer from loss of memory and abSentmtndedness. She was troubled by constipation and dyspepsia and had sour stomach, with palpitation Of the heart, and great depression of spirits. A poor sleeper, often lying awake hours, and when She did get to sleep had frightful dreams and awoke weary and unref1eShed. Her countenance wore an eXpreS- sion Of anxiety and mental trepidation. She had given up in despair, and was often heard to wish she was dead. Her sister induced her to try once more and take magnetic treatments from DRS. SMITH & WILD. Dr. Wild gave her two mag nettc treatments week. For the first six weeks little change was noticed. About the seventh or eighth week she began to gain rapidly and at the end of the third month she declares herself to be perfectly we'll She says she never could have believed such results could have been achieved simply by the laying on or hands.
