II was the Saturday of the month on
which Col. Crane inspected Camp
Cheyenne, and several officers and la
dies had made up party to ride out
with him. Winifred and Edna had
been looking forward to the trip for
several weeks.
Capt. Gray inquired for Edna as the
gay little cavalcade rode out of Fort
Strong, and Winifred replied indiffer-
emily that she believed that some
school work was keeping her at home.
1t was perfect day, with a cloudless
sky. The prairie turf was still soft
and elastic from recent rains. The
birds were calling here and there
among the sage brush; the wild flow
ers were beautiful, but somehow in
spite of I'll the loneliness about her,
Winifred was not enjoying herself as
much as she had expected.
Camp Cheyenne was in stockade
like enclosure, where, In small log
houses set in rows, the Indian soldiers
lived with their families. Women and
children made bright groups about
the doors as Col. Cranes party rode
into the post.
An Indian trumpeter, with his hair
in two long braids, sounded call on
his bugle, and the inspection began at
once.
Winifred hooked up her habit, and
accompanied Col. Crane and her father
as they went from house to house, OBJ

WAS GRIST FOR DICKENS

Of the making of new books during
our walks there was no end. Every
thing suggested copy" to Dickens.
either as author or editor He was a
persistent pedestrian, having acquired
the habit of proving around London
at night when he was suffering from
insomnia.
One afternoon we inspected the pic
ture gallery of Lord Darnleys residence
near "Gad's Hill" A long line of family
portraits extended back to the Cru
saders. Among the court ladies, the
grim warriors and stern judges, a gol-
den-haired boy stood out as if painted
with sunshine. A noise attracted our
attention to the other end of the room,
and there was a boy the exact duplicate
OF the picture, the likeness having been
reproduced after many generations
THAT will make a good story" said
Dickens, as we strolled through the
park. Take the boy Of the picture and
put him through his adventures in the
olden times. First volume. Then take
the modern boy, identical with his an
cestor in appearance, mind, tastes and
morals. and describe his adventures in
our times, and show how environment
affects the same type of man. I must
talk this over with Charles Reade; he
would do it gloriously. stephen Fiske

The Mayor Vindicates His Dignity

sitting in his office in the city hall
last Tuesday afternoon when a cowboy
named jim Wheeler attempted to ride
his cayuse up the main stairway he
would ride in on us, and jump his crit
ter over our desk; but he lost his wager
Hearing the racket on the stairs we
sailed out, and two minutes later Mr.
Wheeler and his CAyuse were tangled
in heap in the middle Of the street
lie shot at us three times during the
ErcfCrman"9, but no one was hit by the
bullets. The horse was able to limp
away, but the man from Big Ranch

WATERLOO.
Why the Early Reports Seemed In
credible to The Argus.

The circumstantial information CT
Captain Drummond, in regard to Bona
parties abdicatiOn and Imprisonment,
when taken in cOnnexion with the ac-
knowledged unsettled state of the
French interior, we confess has claims
to our belief; yet there are many cir
cumstances which tend to impair our
confidence in it's truth-such as the
improbability Of the transactions re-
Orted; the short time which had elapsed
from the period at which Bonaparte was
known to be on the frontiers; and the
contradiction in the reports themselves.
But there is another fact which, if the
dates are accurately given, renders the
Boston News still less probable, and
that is that the British slOop-Of-war
Bramble, which, according to Captain
OXnard, left Portsmouth on the Sd day
of July, six days after the news OF
Bonaparte's abdication is stated to have
been published in London, knew not a
syllable Of the matter, though she was
the bearer of governmental dispatches
to Halifax, and communications to Cap
tain Halifax, and commf1ttvbgk bgkg
tain 0, the particulars of the battles in

as round about" coming below the
waist line to the hip. 1t was open
fronted, with large square collar that
formed an artistic tab reaching to the
sleeve, and giving a broad effect to the
figure. 1t was trimmed with black
braid. The sleeves also we're trimmed
at the wrist with the braid. 1t fitted
the figure closely; and the toilette was
elegant both in design and coIoring.
She wore a smart velvet toque with
mignonette and violets, and a paradise

ciety went to the dogs" this year as

annual dog show captured society.
Beaux and bellies, as well as sportsmen
and spOrtswomen, turned out in
large numbers to pay homage to the
most faithful of brutes. True. there
was a squabble as to the respective
merits of French terriers with ears
like a Jack rabbits, and English ter
riers with practically no ears at all.
But the ladies whispered as lovingly
as ever, Whose doggy is oo?" and

MALAPROPISMS.

Two Of the best malapropisns I ever

and they pleaded for a longer sojourn.
