And there was another still who wore
the simple dress of a private soldier,
whose eyes, black, piercing and full of
expression, were constantly following
that new recruit, and that was the Sioux
Indian Crow Knife, a youth barely nine
teen years of age. He had been a boy
scout before the days of the ghost dance
craze. A valued and trusted ally of the
white soldiers; he had borne dispatches
up to the very moment when Kill
Eagles mad-brained ultimatum drove
his band into revolt and launched them
on the warpath. With them went Crow
Knifes father and mother, and the boy
rode wildly in pursuit He was with
them, striving to induce his mother to
abandon the village, when the warriors
made their descent on the ranches of
the Dry Fork, and later, when Farrar's
fierce attack burst upon them like
thunderbOlt through the snow clouds.
Selling his mother in his arms, the boy
had shielded and saved her when Leale's
vengeful men rushed upon the nearest
Indians, when unquestionably, yet un-
ayoidably, some squaws received their
death wound in the furious fight that
followed Farrars death wound. Recog-
nized and rescued by his former friends,
Crow Knife went back to Frayne when
the brief but bloody campaign was
ended, and then was sent to the Indian
school at Carlisle. Returning in the
course of three years, he had been en-
listed in what was left of the Indian
troop of the Twelfth, and was one of
the few of his tribe who really made a
success of soldering. By the autumn of
this eventful year Crow knife'S COM
rades were rapidly being discharged and

as an exceptional case. and was made

CHAPTER V.

The winter came on early at old Fort
Frayne. Even as early as mid October
the ice was forming in the shallow pools
along the Platte, and that eccentric
stream itself had dwindled away in
volume until it seemed but the ghost OF
it's former self. Raging and unfordable
in June. swollen by the melting SHOWS
of the Colorado peaks and the torrents
from the Medicine Bow, 1T spent it's
strength in the arid heat of a long dry
summer, and when autumn came was
mild as a mill stream far as the eye
could reach and forbade in dozen
places within rife shot of the post.
Many a time did old Fenton wish it
wasn't. Fraynes reservation was big
and generous but, unluckily, it never
extended across the river. Squatters,
smugglers and sharpers could not in
trude upon its guarded limits along the
southern shore. and the nearest grog-
gery-that inevitable accompaniment of
the westward march of civilization-was
a long two miles away, down the right
bank, but only pistol shot across the
stream.
In his day Farrar had waged war
against the TuInS6itSrS on the north
shore and won. because then there were
only soldiers and settlers, and no law
yers-outside the Notwithstanding
ninety miles of the post. But with the
tide OF civilization came more settlers
and a cattle town and lawyers in
abundance, and with their coming the
question at issue became no longer those
of abstract right or wrong, but how a
jury would decide it, and frontier jury
always decides IN favor of the squatter
and against the soldier. Fenton strove
to take pattern after Farrar and very

months had died with their boots on

of the Suuatters across the stream had
no bearing in the eyes of the law. Fen
