a hat box on her lap.

taid in timid agitated voice to the con-
ductor on the rear platform, and he
nodded silently.
She said nothing as the car Travelled
down o street aud out past the high
school and the state house, and turned
into Seventeenth.

but the conductor was as deaf as an
image.

the car made the little twist in the street
at A. The conductor nailed her with a
cold and mastery eye, and she shrank
back behind tie band box and looked
nervously out the window.
Surely this is Euclid" came from the
woman appealingly as the car stopped

were moving and with a frightened
look, she sank down again.

was a stop. Then the little bell up

in the center OF the street, uncertain
whether she should turn ID the east or

did not know this, or il he did. showed
his indiscrstion by entirely ignoring the
fact. 1t took one good. long hard ride
to convince the doctor OF this. And
here is the story OF that ride:
The doctor had come out to Fort
Robinson from the east-a young man OF
about thirty. who sang well, played a
STEADY hand at cards, and won his share
at billiards, so he soon grew into favor
OF all the officers and their families.
But the doctor above all else prided
himself in bis Craftsmanship and there
he made his big mistake. He was, 10
tell the truth, good mount and could
handle easily any horse that came into
that post. But almost every man at the
station could do that and more too. The
lieutenants listene1 civilly to the doc

themselves in knowing way. And Sd
things ran on all that spring and into
the summer.

like three hundred miles from Fort

long, hard ride, night and day, through
the hottest. dryest drearies, part of the
old Americ In desert. And by som, means

They set out at four in the afternoon,
and by midnight had made sixty miles
where they rested At four in the
morning they pushed on and all that
day.and by night we're into Wyoming and
half the dis ,ance 10 Fort Assinaboine.
The stretch was beginning to tell on the
doctor, but he bore up manfully. Then
they struck difficulty. The streams in
those parts had run dry. So all that
second night they rode on toward come
tanks that were known to have been
placed in the hills, but in the morning
these were reached and found empty.
And still hundred miles OF white. hot
sandy desert lay before them. Horses
and men we're hal, dead, but there was
little complaint from the troops. The
liquor bottles had been emptied long be-
fore and left behind. At noon that day
they came 10 little bunch OF shriveled
trees and here the doctor got off, his
ia e white and drawn, his tIngue lolling
from his half -open mouth, his eyes
blood shot and CLASSY. He rolled to the
grass and declared that he could and
would 60 no farther-he would die first

get on that horse!' he commanded
gruffly. aud the doctor crawled up and
on to the saddle. they tied his feet to-
gether under the animal, and half dead,
faint and pale, doubled up far over the
horses neck, he rode those last fifty
miles into the fort. When they took
him down he was raving and it was Sep
TENDER before he could ride abroad
again. But he never glories in his
nov, though since then
he has made many a longer and harder
ride than those three hundred miles
from Fort Robinson to Fort Assinaboine.
Early one morning, just as the streets
was beginning to awaken. man and a
child sat on tn, steps Of pawn brokers'
shop down by the depot. The mau's
faded brown trousers were frayed about
the heels with much walking He had
no coat, his dirty shirt was open at the
neck aud his hat was almost shapelsss.
On his chin was weeks stubble, and
his hands were big and brown and sun
burned. Adore bis eye brows and about
his nostrils, and on all his person was
the dust OF the railroad ties.
The man half leaned against the shop
door, his head hanging over to one side
awkwardly. like ID man whose neck is
broken by sharp blow on the back.
His m outh was open aud the morning
Ilies ran back and forth ac7oss the lips
and over his face. But he dill not stir
for such things.
At his feet slept the child, one arm
about his knee contidIngly, the mans
big hand on her little shoulder. Her
toes peepe1 from the coarse worn shoe
and her naked back stared out from
the dress she wore. And like the other
she was brown and sun. burned and
covered with the dust of the railroad
ties, and like him, she too slept the
sleep Of the dead.
A dog came by, nosed at the pair and
ran on up the bricks, swallow twit-
tered on the cornice overhead and a
straw fell upon the child's face. An ics
