years of age, and was born in France 1t

The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-09


1.-THE Battle of the Ghosts"-so Big
Roads people called it, long months after
fought late at night and far up the slopes
OF the Elk Range, was reported at Fort
Frayne before the rising Of another sun.
The mysterious system Of signaling which
enabled the Indians of the reservations in
Nebraska to know the details Of the Custer
massacre before they could be wired from
Bismarck was here in use again, and stray
glers from the band as far back as Trooper
Creek, and even the cowboys and ranch
men carousing about Bunko Jim s in honor
of the triumph of their plans, knew all
about FarwelPs overtaking the village, of
Farrar's desperate stand and Wayne's long
gallop to their support before the first It'd
ings were whispered within the silent walls
across the stream, or even guessed at by
the grim old soldier, arousing from his
sleep barely ten miles from the seat of
action. The first news to reach the garri-
son came from "Jimtown," and was
laughed to scorn by members of the guard.
The next words went fearfully along

az have had no orders on no account to
attack" said he, land l haven't time to
read all the rot they've wired to Fenton.
Watch for the next shots ahead, there, he
cried to the foremost troopers, land sock
it TO them"
Then it was beautiful to see how even
the horses seemed to rouse from their
stupor and apathy and something almost
like a cheer burst from the lips of the
younger men. Old hands took ''swig"
OF water from their canteens and bite at
the comforting plug. Out from the sockets
come the brown carbines, and fresh
platoon was ordered up to relieve the ad-
vance and Lieutenant Randolph took Mar
tins place at the front. Every little while
through the darkness ahead had come
flash and report from the invisible foe.
and, as these had been suffered IN
avenged, it was soon observed that the
lurking warriors grew holder, and that
with every shot the distance seemed
to decrease. For half an hour past they

whether Colonel Fenton is still at Alll-
sons. and get any authentic news he can,
and send it here at once"
And even as Kurtz began clicking his
message there was some sudden check, an
eager light shot into his face, an express
sion of keen, intense interest. He closed
his key and sat listening to the quick beat
ing OF the tiny hammer of the instrument,
then seized a pencil and began to write
Just as faltering step was heard on the
creaking woodwork Of the piazza. The
door burst open, and in, with wild eyes
and disheveled hair, heavy cloak thrown
about her, but without overshoes, without
gloves, all Obvious to the bitter cold,
Marjorie Farrar rushed in upon them.
Tell me instantly" she began, but the
doctor, an inspiration selling him as he
read the operators face, turned with up
lifted hand, with reassuring smile, as Helen
opened her arms to receive her friend
There was a moment more of breathless,
narrowing suspense, of swift clicking at
the table, of swift skimming pencil, and
then Kurtz sprang to his feet and placed
in Mrs. Farrar's trembling hand the yellow
brown sheet. With eyes that seemed start
ing from their sockets, she read. Then,
thank Godr' threw herself on Helen's
breast. The doctor seized the futtering
paper ere it reached the floor and read
aloud:
My congratulations on Wills gallant bearing
in his maiden fight. He merits the name he
bears. Expect US home tomorrow night very
hungry. FENToN.
But that was only part of the story.
What Leale said was true enough. The
Indians would not fight in the dark except
at long range, but that did not prevent
their taking advantage of the dark for a
sudden rush that would enable them to
burst through what they well knew could
only be a thin and widely dispersed line.
1t was easier to do it in the dark, as the
warriors well knew, than in broad day
light, and so, learning from their vlgllant
scouts about where Farrar's men were
deployed, they rode forward in noiseless
array until close upon them, then at given
signal, and with full understanding that
no one was to stop for anything, they
dashed forward over the snow at head
long speed. The few shots fired whiZZed
by their ears without checking them in
the least, though two Sioux saddles.
by great good luck were emptied, and
when the pony of one bending
warrior collided with Farrar and
keeled him over, others following behind
raced through just as he was scrambling to

speedily reached the ears OF the anxious
wives and children of the soldiers in the
held, and still the surgeon left In charge at
Frayne refused to believe the rumors and
FASTENED to forbid that any one should
speak of them where they could reach the
ears of the household of Farrar, for the
croakers told of fell disaster and of the
death of the last soldier of that honored
name.
But bad news travels fast, and the dire
tul tldings reached Lucretia Fenton's ears
while Kitty slept the sleep of the young,
the innocent and unsuspicious, and what
Lucretia knew she could never conceal.
The morning gun had failed to wake
Wills dainty ladyiove; the trumpets rung
no reveille, for there was no garrison to
rouse and only one trumpeter remained to
sound the calls, but people were up and
astir and hurrying from house to house
long before the usual hour, and Marjorie
Farrar, watching at the bedside of her
stricken daughter, heard with straining
ears the excited tones of the servants at
the back doors, and but for Helen Daun-
tons vigilance would herself have gone to
ascertain the cause. STIMULATING that her
friend should not go downstairs Helen
mad fastened forth, finding their own
Kitchen deserted, and as the colonel
house was but few rods away and Lu-
eASeta was tuere at uHe gaze III vehement
recltatlve with Mrs. Amory, and certain of
the younger bellies of the garrison as
listeners, Helen fastened thither, only to
see the party scatter at her approach
This in itself was ominous, but it was no
time for hesitation. Some of the party
were evidently in tears. The old chaplain
was rapidly approaching from his quarters
on the westward side. The doctor, field
glass in hand, was studying the snowy ex-
panse to the north from the edge of the
buff. With him stood the sergeant of the
guard, and another non-commissioned
officer was fastening toward him up the
sentry post of No. 5. It was to them she
appealed, and in their faces she read the
first intimation of i'll news.
The doctor turned, as though he had been
expecting her, and held forth his hand
II am glad you are here" he said, ''for
l have reason to disbelieve the news that
has been frittering in ever since dawn, but
I wish it kept from Mrs. Farrar as long as
possible"
Helen's face had turned white as the
snow. He saw it, and drew her arm with
in his own. ''Stragglers from Big Road s
band say-those that were left at Trooper
Greek, at least-that there was fight last
night. Part of the village was captured,

beloved son now riding, for the first time in
his brave young life, to prove his WORTH
ness to bear the fathers name, in head
long fight with savage and skillful foe.
And if ever young fellow, wearer of the
army blue, realized to the full extent the
hopes and faith and fondness conferred in
him this night Of nights, it was Will Far

yet year out of the cadet coatee, with his
mother, his sister, his sweetheart, all there

and not only that, but with Malcolm Leale's
old troop as one man looking up to him as
their leader, yet competent, down to the
very last man, to note the faintest flaw
should he fail them the junior subaltern of
the Twelfth, the "plebe" lieutenant, as his
elders laughingly spoke of him, found him
self, as though some special providence had
swept from his path every possible barrier
to danger and distinction, lifted suddenly
to a command that seldom fails to army
subalterns to-day even within q score
of years, and hidden here and now to win
spurs for the honor of the old troop, the
honor OF the Twelfth, the honor OF the name
his father made famous, and that he must
maintain-or die in doing it. All this,

sides. went thrilling through his very soul,
as, on Farwelrs left and in utter silence,
he rode swiftly onward at the head of the
column. Leaving to his own first lieu
tenant the command of the grays, Captain
Farwell had told him to follow close in the
tracks of Farrar's men, and, with only one
of the Indian company to aid and no other
guide of any kind but his senses and the
stars, had placed himself in the lead and
pushed forth into the night.

how. Head for the hills as soon as you're

least back of the mouth of the canyon. You

A CLOWNS LUCK.
Stranded in Africa He Becomes a Multi
millionaire.

a
Millionaire.
Paris has a king within it's walls to-day,
one whose subjects do him homage
throughout the world of business, for the
monarch is none other than Barnato, the
king of the mines, who at the lowest COM
putation is worth 600, 000, 900 of francs, $780,
100000.
Twenty years ago a circus, which had
travelled, goodness knows how, from Eng
land to South Africa, arrived at Kimberly.
1t was not big circus, in fact it was only
composed of the manager, the managers
wife, clown and two trained mules.
At that epoch, says the Boston GLOBE,
Kimberly was not the diamond town that
it has become since. The circus did poor
business and one morning the director and
the directress fed, leaving the clown with
the two mules and thirty shillings in his
pocket, which is not much in Europe.
but which is still less at the Cape of Good
Hope.
During ride in the outskirts of KIM
berly he found in the fields traces of dia-
monds; he took some stones, showed them
to miner and entering into partnership
with him went to sell them in the town.
Then, without divulging his discovery, he
bought the field where he had made his
find, took out only very few stones, for
fear of arousing suspicion, bought other
fields, and found himself at last large
landholder.
1t was with these fields that the famous
society of Beers was created, of which Mr.
Barnato is now Governor, with Sir Cecil
Rhodes and another; each of these three
gentlemen now receives an annual salary
of SIPS, 900 from the company.
When the first gold mines were discov
cred at johannesburg, Mr.. Barnato rushed
there, bought as much land as he could
find, organized societies on the Londor
market and became king of the mines. h
also went in for politics, and, although
not q follower of Sir Cecil Rhodes policy
he caused himself to be elected to the
British Parliament from the Cape of Coco
Hope.
Now Mr.. Barnato lives in London anG
only goes to the Cape for Parliamentary
sessions.
He is little man, about As years old
wearing a slight mustache. In his dres:
he is very simple, and behind pincenes
mounted in gold tit is the only trace on hi
person of the metal king) he has two eve,
of an incredible vivacity.
