"Oh, Jess! Listen!" cried Elinor, In ecstasy and surprise, as she turned back with quickly beating heart.
 No, no, indeed!" replied her sol dier escort, with throb in his breast that echoed and overmastered that in her own. No time to listen-come. It was your first galop at the Point let it be our first in Wyoming" And in moment more the tall, 1.-the, sup pie, slender forms were gliding about the dancing floor in perfect time to the lovely music, but now her dark eyes could not meet the fire in the blue. Following their lead, Loomis and Jessie joined the dance. Other couples from along the row hastened to the scene. la five minutes a lively hop was on at Emory, and when at last, breathing little hurriedly and with heightened color, Elinor Folsom glanced up into his joyous and beam ing face-"You had forgotten that galop, MT. Dean," she archly said, but down went the dark eyes again at his fervent reply.
 'Yes, admit it; but so long as I live I'll never forget this.''
 Small wonder was it that when Bur !eigh came driving out at tattoo for brief conference with the colonel ais sallow face took on darker shade, as he suddenly caught sight of that couple standing at the moment apart from the dancers, seeing neither them nor him, hearing for the moment no music but that which tremhl- d. in the tones of his deep voice, for Elinor was strangely silent.
 Marshall Dean," whispered Jessie that night, as she huggcd him be- fore being lifted to her seat, tell me true, wasn't Pappoose's picture in your heart pocket? Didn't that bull let crease it2"

CHAPTER XIII.

And now indeed came for Marshall Dean a time in which he could see a divided duty. A camp of wood-chop- pers in one of the deep, sequestered valleys of the mountains had been sud- denly set upon by a host of mounted Indians that seemed, like the warriors born of the dragons teeth, to spring up from the earth, and yelling like iends bore down upon the little guard. Happily for the woodchoppers, but un- luckily for Lo, the commander was a cool-headed veteran of the late war who had listened time and again to yells as frantic and had withstood charge after charge ten times as de- termined. Most unluckily for Lo the infantry company was armed with the new Springfield breech-loader, and when the band came eXultantly on, having, as they supposed, drawn the fire when full. four hundred yards away, they were confounded by the lively cracllle and sputter of rifles along the timber in front of them, top bling many dashing warrior to earth and strewing the ground with slaugh- tered ponies. That charge failed, but they rallied in furious force. There were only 40 soldiers; they had 500 braves, so on they came again from three different points, and again

And so was it settled that later the colonel was to see MT. Dean and ad-- monish accordingly, but that mean time the adjutant should go and whis- per in his ear that his arrest was end- ed, and all would be explained later, thereby releasing him before the girls discovered the fact that he was con fined to his tent.
 But the adjutant came too late. The fearful eyes of one. the flushed and anxious faces of both damsels, and the set look in the eyes of both the young officers at Deans tent, as the adjutant approached, told him the cat was out of the bag. "The explanation cannot be made too promptly for me, sir," said Dean. ns he received the coloneps m:s- sage and permitted the adjutant to de- part without presenting him to the two prettiest girls he had seen in year. ''Now. Loomis, just as quick as pos sible I want you to go with me to that man Burleigh. I'll cram his words down his throat"
 Hush, Dean, of course, I'll stand by you! But both girls are looking. Wait until tomorrow"
 How many project for the morrow is dwarfed or drowned by events un- looked for-unsuspected at the time! Not ten minutes later Folsom and Burleigh came strolling together to the little tent. Ashamed of his appar- ently unj just accusation. Folsom had begged the quartermaster's pardon and insisted on his coming with him and seeing the young people before driving back to town. The horses were being groomed at the picket line. The western sun was low. Long shad- ows were thrown out over the sward and the air was full of life and eXhila- ration. The somber fears that had op- pressed the quartermaster an hour earlier were retiring before a hope that then he dare not entertain.
 "You-you stood by me like a trump, Burleigh," old Folsom was say ing, "even after I'd abused you like thief. If I can ever do you good turn don't fail to let me know.''
 And Burleigh was thinking then and there how desperately in need of a good turn he stood that minute. What if Folsom would back him? What if
 But as they came in full view of the picket line beyond the row of tents, the majors eagerly searching gaze was rewarded by a sight that gave him sudden pause. Halted and examining with almost professional interest the good points of a handsome little bay, Lieut.. Loomis and Jessie Dean were in animated chat. Halted and facing each other, he with glowing admira- tion in his frank blue eyes, she with shy, pleasure in her joyous face, Dean and Elinor Folsom stood absorbed in some reminisccnce of which he was talking eagerly. Neither saw the com ing pair. Neither heard the rapid beat of bounding hoofs near them in eager haste. Neither noted that a horseman refined in, threw himself from saddle and handed Burleigh a telegraphic message which, with trembling hands, he opened and then read with starting eyes.
 My heaven, Folsom!" he cried. "I ought to have known something was wrong when l got orders to have every mule and wheel ready. Everything's to be rushed to the Big Horn at once. Just as you predicted, Red Clouds band has broken loose. There's been q devil of fight not eighty miles from Frayne!"
