needed here, and then, when, as II nap pens, my officer and his men get into . fight and drive the Indians, to whom does he report, sir? Not to me, sir not to his legitimate commander, but he sends couriers to Laramie and to Frayne, and ignores me entirely"
 A light dawned on Burleigh in an instant. Well he knew that Deans req sons for sending couriers to those guard posts of the Platte were to warn them that a war party had crossed into their territory, and was now in flight. There was nothing to be gained by sending Q man galloping back to the line of the railway 75 miles to the rear-no earthly reason for his doing so. But the fact that he had sent run ners to officers junior in rank to Stevens, and had not sent one to him, fairly ''stuck in the crop" of the cap tious old commander, and he had de termined to give the youngster les son. But now the mail was in, and dispatches from various quarters, and telegram from Omaha directing him to convey to Lieut.. Dean the thanks and congratulations of the general | commanding the department, who had just received full particulars by wire from Cheyenne, aud Stevens was glad enough to drop the game, and Burleigh equally glad of this chance to impress Folsom with tIs. sense of his influence, as well as of his justice.
 ''I admit all you say, colonel. I have ong-ah-considered you most unfair ly treated, but really-ah-in this case of Lieut.. Deans, it is, as I said before, inexperience and-ah-the result of ah-er-not unnatural loss of-er- balance at a most exciting time. A word of-ah-admonition, if you will pardon my suggestion, is all he prob ably needs, for he has really behaved very well-ah-surprisin well in l conduc ting this--ah-pursuit.'

 Stevens, what in the devil has that young fellow done to deserve ar rest?"
 'Oh, ab, shut the door, MT. Adiu- tant," said the commanding officer, apprehensively, to his staff officer, "and-d desire to confer with Mir. Folsom moment" whereat the ad- jutant took the hint and then hied himself out of the room.
 tNow, eh, in the first place, Mir. Folsom, this is rather long and-d painful story. I'm-m-ah, ah-in a peculiar position .--...

They will know he's in arrest What can l tell thcm?1

 "Well, what fault is that of his f See here, man, you don't mean to say it is because he didn't get here three days ago? That's no crime, and haven't knocked around with the army the last 40 years not to know the regulations in such matters.

Passengers bound west of that sinfully thriving town were luckier, as a rule, if they went by stage. Those were days, too, in which q depot quartermaster with a drove of government mules and corral full of public vehicles at his command was a monarch in the eyes of the early set tier; and when, added to these high priced luxuries, he had on deposit in various banks from Chicago to Chey- enne, and even here at Gate City. thousands of dollars of government greenbacks eXpendible on his check for all manner of purposes, from off, cers' mileage accounts to the day la borer's wages, from bills for the roof ing of barracks and quarters to the set ting of single horseshoe, from the purchase of forage and fuel for the dozen military posts within range of his supply trains down to can of axle grease. Everyone knew Bur- leigh's horses and ha bits were far more costly than his pay would admit. Ev- erybody supposed he had big returns from mines and stocks and invest ments.
