and went leaping like a colt along his
by the Prescott road, and instead of
the prolonged and melodious call of the
hour, when it came his turn, it was the
sentry's challenge-sharp, clear and
imperative-thatsp split the morning air.
There was something nerve tingling,
something that smacked Of swift COM

Hold your fire, sentry. That horse

But the only answer was the loud
bang of the Springfield and the leaden
bullet went whistling away toward the
pole star. That sentry had heard
enough Of the perils of post No. for
one night, and preferred to take no
chances "Sure, didn't hear the cap

"Who's No. 5 on your relief?" asked
the sergeant, sharply.
'Ruckel, the new man." replied the
corporal, already picking up his car
bine, but listening intently.
"Ruckel's snoOzer," laughed boy
trumpeter, nervously.
"Silence, you! Quick, corporal, y said
the sergeant. 1.-THE man couldn't sleep
through that Dutchman's yell"
Promptly the corporal went bounding
across the parade, the short cut to the
north side, and Maj. Thornton, some
strange fear hammering at his heart,
fast as he could walk, had hurried
around to the back of his quarters,
where once more he could see the polar
consultations shimmering over the So
zorro and the dim, vague, shadowy low
land stretching away from the slope at
his very feet. Already big Stromberg
had begun to repeat his call in Teuton-
ic observance of the order that if the
next sentry failed to pass it it should
be repeated once. Already Number Six,
far around at the corral, had lifted up
a shout for the corporal, convinced that
something must be wrong with Five.
But the corporal was in rapid rush for
the scene. He never pulled up as he
passed the major, but FASTENED on
down the bluff. Thornton paused at
the brink.
Where are you, Five? What's the
matter?" he heard the corporal's eager
hail in the darkness. No answer.
where are you, Ruckel? VIII"
Then a stumble stifed exclamation
the sound of something like a car
bine falling on the sandy ground, and
then along the bluff trot, trot, trot, trot,
trot, double time, the rapid coming Of
the sergeant with the patrol and a
lantern.
This way, sergeant" cried the ma
jor, as he led on down the slope.
'SCome here with that light, for Gods
sake, rang the voice of the corporal.
And fifty yards further they found him
bending over an inanimate and bleed
ing form-that of Ruckel, the young
Bavarian trooper, pierced through with
Tonic arrows.

UNNECESSARY NoIsEs.-Some of the
New York papers are waging war
against the many unnecessary noises in
that city, among them screeching and
useless whistles. 1t is thought by
many that this instrument of torture
could be dispensed with and consigned
to oblivion with the old-time custom
of watchmen calling the hour of night
and keeping people awake. There are
some of the iiercest whistles in this
city of any place in the country, and
they are sounded three or four times 8
day for the purpose of letting two or
three men and some boys know that
it is six, twelve, seven and one O'Clock
and occasionally they get hung and
blow on lower key all night. They
strike terror to the ueighborhood IN
which they have been erected. and
cause people to stop their ears while
the cruel blasts are being sounded.

The superintendent reported that the

Confidently expects that the same will
be successful and great source of
profit.
