"Out of the way, men! Don't fret"
shouted Dean. And, scrambling back
toward their horses, the lieutenant
and his men drew away from the front
OF the charging herd, invisible as yet
to the halted troop and to the occu-
pants of the ambulance, whose eager
heads could be seen poked out at the
side doors of the leading vehicle, as
though watching for the cause of the.
sudden halt.
And then thing happened that at
least one man saw and fortunately
remembered later. Bryan, the trum-
peter, with jabbing heels and tapping
arms, was tearing back toward the
troop at the moment at the top speed
of his gray charger, already so near
that he was shouting to the sergeant
in the lead. BY this time, too, that vet
eran trooper, with the quick sense of
duty that seemed to inspire the war;
time sergeant, had jumped his little
column "front into line" to meet the
unseen danger; so that now, with car
bines advanced, some thirty blue jack
cts were aligned in the loose fighting
order of the prairies in front of the
foremost wagon. The sight of the dis
tant officer and men tumbling hur-
riedly to one side, out of the way pre-
sumably Of some swiftly-coming peril,
acted like magic on the line. Carbines
were quickly brought to ready, the
gun locks cracking in chorus as the

been. He hated any species of back
biting, and he had heard of Burleigh
as an adept in the art, and man to be
feared. Signaling to his sergeant to
keep the column opened out, as the
prairie was almost level now on every
side, he rode swiftly on, revolving in
his mind how to meet and checkmate
Burleigl's insidious moves, for in
stinctively he felt he was already at
work. The general in command in
those days was not field soldier by
any means. His Office was far away
at the banks Of the Missouri, and all
he Knew of what was actually going
on in Ills, department he derived from
official written reports;' much that
was neither official nor reliable he
learned from officers of Burleigh's
stamp, and Dean had never yet set eyes
on him. In the engineer he felt he had
friend on whom he could rely, and he
determined to seek his counsel at the
campfire that very night, meantime to
hold his peace.
They were trotting through shall

two spring wagons guarded and cs-

riding with two troopers midway be-

said nothing that was wrong, he felt
no disquiet.
And now. homeward bound, he was
jogging contentedly along at the
head of the troop. Scouts and flank

ly the lively mule teams would come
along the winding trail at u spanking
trot. Then the troop would open out
to right and left and let them take the
lead, giving the dust in exchange, and
once more the rapid march would be-

ows of the mules ears and heads came
jerking into view beside them, and,
guiding his horse to the right, Dean
loosed rein and prepared to trot by the
open doorway of the stout, bluck-cov-
cred wagon. The young engineer Of
ficer, sitting on the front seat, nodded
cordially to the cavalryman. He had
known and liked linn at the Point. He
had sympathized with him in the
vague difference with the quartermas-
ter. He had to listen to sneering
things Burleigh was telling the aid
de-camp about young linesmen in gen
eral and Dean in particular, stocking
the staff officer with opinions which he
hoped and intended should reach the
department commanders ears. The
sition to disprove. His station was at
Omaha, far from the scene of cavalry
exploits in fort or field. Burleigh's Of
fee and depot were in this new,
crowded, bustling frontier town, filled
with temptation to men so far re-
moved from the influences of home and
civilization, and Burleigh doubtless
saw and knew much to warrant his
gencralities. But he knew no wrong Of

eye for human nature could see at
glance, as Dean saw, that both the aid
and his big friend the quartermaster,
had been exchanging comments at the
boys expense. He had shouted a
CHEEKY salutation to the engineer in
answer to his friendly nod, then turned
in saddle and looked squarely at the
two on the back seat, and the con-
straint in their manner, the almost suf-
len look in their faces, told the story
without words.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 19-Buslness on the
Stock Exchange to-day lapsed into a con-
dition of dullness and abandonment to
the operations of small professional trad
ers. Much angry recrimination continues
to be heard on all sides concerning the
bear raid on the iron and steel stocks Not
only in the stock market, but in the iron
trade as well accusations of bad faith and
double dealing are banded about.
All other authorities in the trade dis
agree with the views of Chairman Gates,
of the American Steel and Wire Com
pany, but the Iron Age says in its review
of the subject, mo sharp tumble In values
is expected unless this development in the
wire trade should produce such an effect"
1t is the reservation thus expressed that
so effectually upset the speculative
world. Dealers In securities kept one eye
on the iron and Steel stocks all day and
the erratic and irregular movements in
that group kept the whole market In
faverish and uncertain state. When
pressure there was relaxed there was a
disposition manifest to mark up prices
elsewhere, but the burden of selling met
on the advance gave an appearance of a
desire to realize on an extensive scale
and took the snap out of the market

stocks offered decreased materially on

The week has been of alternating charao-
ter, but with preponderating days of ac-
tivity, distinct gains are to be noted In
both volume and values.
Advices from the South are somewhat
contrary; the general situation is I'M
changed; firmness at recent advance, the
rule, but In every quarter the more eau
tious are evincing a disposition to market
with rational haste. This does not imply
weakness, for concessions, II any, are
trifling and usually made where outside
figures are demanded. The reason for ac-
ton is that cleaned rice, which will carry
safely in Northern ATTITUDES, is apt to go
to pieces at the South with the first APP

the case right on the coast under the COM
