Rally! Reform! For wardr'
Above the roar of cannon and mus

bugles, and as the smoke Lifts here and
there in spots the eye can detect the gray
horsemen seeking to obey the calls.
They do rally They do reform. They
do push forward under that terrible
hre, but only to be broken up and swept
aside. The Federal artillerists get the
order TO cease firing, the crackle of mus
kerry dies away, and five minutes later
the smoke has drifted off, and the eve
can scan the plain. Beaten, broken,
slaughtered, and yet the gray horsemen
are trying to rally again!
Now is the moment, and Custer has
waited for it. Only the dead and
wounded are left behind as he moves
out, as his entire command sweeps
straight across the plain ana falls upon
the broken and disorganized enemy.
They rally here and there by the score

and by twos and threes. Men wait and
die rather than run away. Brave men.

spoken OF around our campfires for years

that they did not have a leader equal To
Custer in the murderous art of war.
Night has fallen, and the fight is over.
There are prisoners TO be guarded,
wounded to be cared for, dead to be

are lost TO sight.

wounded men blended into one great
wall for succor. 1t is freezing cold, and
they are in torture. Hark againl That
grewsome sound rising at intervals
above the wailing comes from the
wounded horses. They are also begging
and pleading. Some are limping about
among the dead and wounded men as if
seeking their masters, pausing now and
hen TO rub their cold noses against a
body, while Others are lying down and
lift their heads only to utter wbinny
which tells OF fright and pain. Thank

dashed straight out into the plain to
head the woman off. He knew her the
moment she stepped out of the woods.
Uncle Ben had told him Of the meeting
with Mrs. Baxter on the highway. He
had flung her down the bank with tre-
mendous force, and as he came back
over the road with Custer men he ex-
pected to find her lying there dead.
Nothing was to be seen of her. however,
and his mind was greatly relieved. In
her fall, as was afterward known, the
woman's head struck a stone. and the
skull was fractured. When she strug-
gled up she was no longer sane. She
had been wandering through the forest
for hours before she appeared on the
battlefield, but she encountered no one
and found no shelter.
Never was there more gallant deed
than that performed by Steve Brayton,
and never was hero more heartily ap-
plauded by friend afld foe. He galloped
his horse straight at the woman, and as
he came up TO her ne leaned over in the
saddle, caught her with both hands, and
next instant she was on the saddle be-
fore him, and the horse was nying back

Iurn quick TO the south! You will |
never see grander spectacle than this.
The Confederate command, divided in
to three divisions, with double lines
dressed as If on parade, has received the
order to advance. They had waited for
Custer to charge, but the chevalier was
also a strategist. His artillery, being
better served, was creating the most
havoc, and no could afford 10 DELAY.
