lectures. Only moment did the commander
listen. Then, quick and startling, came the
order, Sound to arms!' and within the min
ute the stirring peal of the cavalry trumpet
was answered by the hoarse thunder of the
snare-drum, beating the long roll. Out from
their dog tents and half-fin:shed log huts
came the bewildered men. Often as the alarm
had sounded on the frontier there was thrill
and ring about ittthis time that told of action
close at hand.
Out from their little huts, hurrying into
their frock coatsyands betting on their swords
as they glared about them for the cause Oh
the uproar, came the officers, old ana young

youngsters fresh from the Point. At many
a doorway and unglazed window appeared
the pallid faces Of women and children, some
tress. In front of the log guardhouse the
sergeant quickly formed the two reliefs not

companies rapidly fell in, while stern-voiced

was loud and lively. Down by the swift
flowing stream the tethered horses of the
cavalry plunged and neighed in excitement,
and the mules in the quartermaster's corral
set up their irreDressible bray. For five
minutes there was clamor, but no confusion.
Then disciplined silence reigned again. all

Presently at a rapid trot the cavalry, some
fifty strong came Gathering up the stony

rolling over and over. They saw-plainly

women at the sight-half a dozen painted
savages spring out from behind the ledge,
some pony back, afoot, and bear
down on the stricken form of the slender
young rider now feebly striving to rise from
the turf; saw the empty hand outstretched,
imploring mercy; saw iabbing lances and
brandished war clubs pinning the helpless
boy to earth and beating in the barred, de-
fenseless head; saw the orderly dragged
from under his struggling horse and butch
knives at work tearing away the hot red
scalps, then ripping off the blood-soaked
clothing, and to the music of savage shouts
of glee and triumph, hacking, hewing, mutt
lating the poor remains, reckless of the
bullets that came buZzing along the turf from

Great drops of sweat were pouring down
