CHAPTER XVI

June had come, a radiant June, and
all at Frayne was joyous anticipation,
despite the momentous fact that the
Platte had overleaped its bounds and
was raging like some mad mountain
torrent far as the eye could see. The
flats to the west Of the post were one
broad, muddy lake. The grassy bench
beneath the bluffs to the east was par
tally torn away. Part Of Bunko Jim s
frontier stronghold still chung to the
opposite bank, but some of it was dis
tributed in driftwood long leagues down
stream. Across the river, at a point
half mile above the ruin OF the ferry
house, troop Of cavalry, caught on re-
turn from scout had pitched its tents
and picketed its horses and was waiting
for the falling Of the waters to enable
1t to return to it's station, and with that
troop. the maddest man in all wyo-
ming, was Lieutenant Will Farrar.

the slopes of the Elk range, was report

another sun. The mysterious system of
signaling which enabled the Indians of
the reservations in Nebraska to know
the details of the Custer massacre before
they could be wired from Bismarck
was here in use again, and stragglers
from the band far back at Trooper creek,
and even the cowboys and ranchmen

of the triumph Of their plans, knew all

and was laughed to scorn by members
of the guard. The next words went fear

| knew, than in broad daylight, and so,
learning from their vigilant scouts
about where Farrar's men were deploy-
ed, they rode forward in noiseless array
until close upon them; then at given
signal and with full understanding that
no one was TO stop for anything they
dashed forward over the snow at head
long speed.
The few shots fired whizzed by their
ears without checking them in the least,
though two Sioux saddles, by great
good luck, We're emptied, and when the
pony of one low bending warrior collid-
ed with Farrar and keeled him over
others following behind raced through
just as he was scrambling TO his feet,
and one of the riders had struck wildly
with his warclub at the dark object
] and downed il again. The whole band
( was out Of sight in less time than it
takes to tell it. The crash and sputter
of hoofs could be heard as they thun-
dered away and then the loud cracking
of rife and revolver as the band reached
the descent to the canyon farther to the
west and found Farwell's led horses on
the bluff.
1t was then, as the sergeants were
raising Will, stunned and bleeding, to
his feet that they realized not an instant
must be lost i'll fastening 10 Farwell's
aid, and, while one bathed with snow
the aching, bewilderod head and an
other gave the young officer water from
his canteen, third helped place the boy
in saddle and gave the word to the men
| to follow. Another minute and Leale's
men, led by their lieutenant, grasping
at the pommel all the same to steady
| himself i'll his seat, went charging
| through the wooded highland and tum-
bled in on Farwell's assailants Just in
tie nick of time With every minute
| Will was reviving and pulling himself
together again, and by the time Wayne
and his fellows came riding in 10 their
support through the fire splitting clumps
of evergreen the boy was shouting his
orders and cheering his men as though
no blow had ever downed him. But
Wayne's coming relieved him of all re-
sponsibility on that side, secured Far
well in his grasp on the village, and
when at last Big Roads sullen, beaten
braves skunk away through the timber,
leaving the greater part of the village
women, children, old folks and few
disguised warriors-in the hands of the
troops, Wills frantically aching head
reminded him that he was in need Of
attention, and then it was discovered
that he was literally bathed in blood
and it was time for him TO faint from
the loss of it.
Heavens, what a to do there was at
Frayne when that boy was brought
home with the setting of the second sun
thereafter, his head bandaged and his
shoulder sore and his hurts severe, and
yet with the record that, despite it all,
he had fought his troop like veteran
like a Farrar." Fenton handed him
oyer TO his mother, after their long ride
in the ambulance sent out TO meet them,
and went ON by first train to comply
with his orders, and Marjorie took her
boy to her rejoicing arms, forge.ful for
the moment of Fenton, of Kitty, of all
elsa in the world.

Down went one pony, struggling and
rolling III the snow. Away sped the
other back into the blackness of the
night. Then a dark object seemed to
disengage itself from the struggling
pony and go crouching and limping
away. Two or three excited young sol
diers banged their carbines without the
faintest aim. Then it seemed as though
the hillsides woke 20 a wild revel Of
battle, for, behind them, far up the oan-
yon, there rose wall of terror from the
fleeing squaws and shouts of the few old
braves left to guard them, resounding
warwhoops Of younger Indians some
where, anywhere, everywhere, down the
slopes 10 the east. Then bright col
nmn Of flame shot high in air over
among the rocks to the north of the gate,
and afar out over the eastward prairie
Big Road and his braves came dashing,
driving, laundering TO the rescue.
They'll not try the gulch, sorr, I"
shouted Rorke in his ear. "Only a few
will push in here. Most of 'em will
come this way and get around Us TO our
right. F"
"Open out, menl Push ont southwark
there as fast as you can!" shouted Will,
as be ran bounding through the snow
toward the right Of his invisible line.
Watch for theml They'll come with
a rush when they come at allr'
And Rorke, whose business il was 10
remain with his comrades in battle"
where fIst he was POSTED, near the brow
Of the steep, went running after his
young commander as hard as he could
go, with no man to stop him.
In the excitement and darkness, in
the thrill Of the moment, some Of the
men seemed disposed to huddle together
rather than 10 increase their intervals,
for plainly row could he heard dull
thunder CT notes.-the roar of the COM
ing storm. Then, too, shadowy specters
Of horsemen could be dimly seen dart
ing into partial view and out again, like
the fash that greeted them. But far up
the gorge, behind Farrar's line, the
sound Cf battle grew fercer and louder.
Then, down from the depths of the can
yon, there came sudden clamor Of shot
and cheer and challenge and yells of
rage and defiance, and then all on a
sudden out from among the stunted
trees, with painting, struggling, bound
ing ponies, with flashing, bending, yell
ing braves, there burst upon them the
main body of the Indians, threoscore
warriors at least and despite the ring
Of shots on and through and over they
rushed the slim and extended slirmish
line, and VIII Farrar, spIinging from
the shelter of little cedar, was struck
full IN the breast by a muscular shout
der and knocked backward into the
snow. He struggled to his feet, creeping
for his revolver, just in time TO meet the
dash Of half dozen racing braves, all
yelling like fends. Something crashed
upon his skull and struck a million
sparks or stars, and everything whirled
out Of sight and sound and sense as the
young officer went down, face foremost,
into the drifts.

 The promenade or travelling gown sf- lected by bride-to- be should be of the best material that she can afford. Rough materials should not receive a moments consideration. Some plain. substantial goods is the thing to get, I'rap d'ete or lady's cloth is the first selection. If they are too expensive get a good cheyiot or fine serge. Bril- IIantine makes up prettily, too, and is sefVleeable. Don't be tempted to buy etamine or any other sheer material which must be silk-lined unless you are sure that your gown will not need to do good service. because they are likely to lose caste very quickly and are not materials that make over we'll.
 The day when the bride must pro clam herself by wearing gray is past. She now wears any color that suits her except black. That's supposed to bring sorrow, and ill-becomes the "haDpiest person on earth.''
 A weIl-chosen gown is in dull purple cloth, of a shade which will not quickly tire the eye. The skirt is very full and very long, and has a narrow band of en- broidery done in iridescent metallic cord about the bottom.

A couNTERFElTgR CAUGHT.
The Police of Syracuse Make an Im-
 porsnnt Capture.

On Monday the 18th Harold Marquisee, of Utica, N. I. was arrested in Syracuse, N. T., on warrant sworn out by the Dr. Will liams' Medicine Co.,, charging him with forg- cry. On the 18th of December Marquisee visited a photo-engraver in Syracuse, say ing be was the representative of the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, and arranged for the making of full set of plates for the direc- tion sheets labels etc, of the famous Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. News of this reached the home office, and no time was lost in arranging for his arrest when he should return for the plates. He returned On the 18th, and was accordingly arrested and is now in jail in Syracuse awaiting ex- animation, which occurs on March 2d.
 This arr"st proves to be an important one. In addition to various plunder, such as medical books, typewritefs, rugs, etc, found in Marquisee s trunk when arrested, the police also found counterfeit coin both Tn the trunk and on his person; and in a search of his apartments in Utica found a complete outfit for eounterfeiting consist ing of crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead, bismuth, antimony, a small blacksmith forge, a charcoal furnace, and several plas- ter-of=paris melds.

His scheme was to work the country druggists and sell his imita- tions at discount of from 2 per cent to per cent, explaining the reduced price by the fact that he had picked them up in small lots and at a discount from dealers who were overstoel1ed. By working fast and making long jumps, he would have secured many hundreds of dollars in a short time.

Spring gowning engrosses all Those with but little wealth make careful se- leetions of the most serviceable, yet withal, the most useful gown. She who has plenty buys with lavish hand that which strikes her fancy. With either. the gown once bought and worn quickly loses interest.
 Not so with the maids who will change their names at the Eastertide. Each article in their wardrobes must be well selected, not for use this season alone. but for the durability of it's style and material. For the average girl who mar ries the average man finds much need to economize, and the girl who brings with her a sensible selected wardrobe is jewel beyond compare.

dressy jacket, and the all-important wedding gown. Of course the latter is really not necessity, but every girl loves to don it, and it seems a pity to deprive the poorest of us of this pleas ure on the happiest day of our lives. It is. therefore, best to include it.
 The wedding gown up-to-date is of plain white satin, rather than brocade. In Paris brides are beginning to wear pale colors. but this mode seems more suitable for the elderly bride, and is rot likely to become popular. It has, however, a note of economy, as white satin is not practical for ordinary wear.
 The skirt of the bridal gown may be untrimmed or adorned with founces of lace. Lace, chiffon and seed-pearl trimming are used on the bodices. A very girlish gown to be worn by an April bride is of white satin with flounce of duchess lace about the foot. The bodice is of plain satin. tight-fitting. The front is covered with lace, which starts at the arm seams and is caught in a bunch at the center of the bust Our bride intends to fasten it there with a tiny spray of orange blossoms, if she can secure them. But they are so scarce that she will probably use lilies of the valley.
 The yoke is hand embroidered, by the bride herself, with seed pearls in de-
