out in shirt sleeves, many of them run
ming to the nearest officer and begging
for a gun and place in the fight, for
now the firing was loud and lively.
Down by the swift flowing stream the
tethered horses of the cavalry plunged
and neighed in excitement, and the
mules in the quartermaster's corral set
up their irrepressible bray. For five
minutes there was clamor, but no con-
fusion. Then disciplined silence reigned
again, all but the nearing volleying at
the south. Presently at rapid trot the
cavalry, some so strong, came clatter-
ing up the stony trail from the stream
and with carbines advanced disap-
peared through the main gateway in
cloud of dust. Two companies were
told off to man the loopholes of the
stockade. Two others under the COM
mand of senior captain faced by the
right flank, and in double-quick time
danced away in the wake of the cav
airy. Eagerly the watchers climbed
the wooden walls or to the tower of the
half-fnished guardhonse, and, as the

red light strengthened in the east and
the mountain sides became revealed,
studied with their glasses or with
straining eyes the southwark vista
through the hills. They saw the troop
form line to the front at the gallop as
it swept out over the open ground 400
yards away, saw its fankers scurry
to the nearest Shoulder of bluff, saw
their excited signals and gesticulations,
and presently sheaf of skirmishers
shot forward from the advancing line
and breasted the low ridge 500 yards
out from the fort, and then there came
floating back the sound of ringing,
tumultuous cheer as the slsirmishers
reached the crest and darted headlong
at some unseen object beyond, and aft
er them went the reserve, cheering too.
And now the sound of firing became
fierce and, incessant, and messengers
came galloping back to the commander
of the steadily advancing infantry. and
they, too, We're seen to throw forward
heavy skirmish lines and then resume
the march. And then, down over the
ridge came a little knot Of horsemen,
made up of three men riding close to-
gether, the outer ones supporting be-
tween them the comrade in the center.
Before they were within 400 yards the
young adjutant, gazing through his
glasses at the colonel's side, exclaimed:
Its Dean-dead or woundedl" and
one of the surgeons rushed forward to
meet the party. "He's weak, sir, al
most gone from loss of blood" ex-
claimed Trooper Conroy, himself bleed
ing from cash along the cheek. A
faint smile drifted over the young fell
lows pallid face as the adjutant, too,
galloped up. A feeble hand indicated
the bulging saddle pocket. A faint
voice faltered: There's $4,000 in that
packet. We had to fight our way
through" and then the brave blue eyes
closed and strong arms lifted the all
most lifeless form from the saddle as
Marshall swooned away.

sergeant. "They're signaling from the
knoll. They never wouldhave attacked
with SO few, unless there were dozens
more within sight. Now's our time,
lieutenant. We can mount and ride
like hell to the timber--I beg your par
don, SIR" he broke off, suddenly. 81
didn't mean TO say what the lieutenant
should do"
mo apologies laughed Dean, his
eyes swapping with the vim of the fight.
'"Glad you see the truth of what l said.
Come on. Mount quickly, men,
Two minutes more and the entire
party of bluecoats were squirting swift
ly northward up the winding gorge,
the pack horses numbering alongside.
Eagerly Dean and Bruce in the lead
looked right and left for a game trail
leading up the slope, for well they
knew that the moment their reinforce
ments came the warriors would dash
into the ravine and, finding their an
tagonists fled, would pursue along the
banks. 1t would never do to be caught
in such trap. A gallop of quarter
of mile and, off to the right, branch
ravine opened out to higher ground,
and into this the leaders dove and,
checking speed, rode at the trot until
the ascent grew steep. Five minutes
more and they were well up toward
the head of the gulch and presently
found themselves nearly on level with
the hillsides about them. Here, too,
were scattered pine trees and few
scrub oak. The timber, then. was close
at hand. Signaling halt to the climb
ing column, Dean and Bruce, spring
ing from saddle, scrambledup the bank
to their right and peered cautiously
back down over the tumbling waves of
the foothills, and what they saw was
enough to blanch the cheek of even
veteran Indian fighters.
Far over to the east, beyond an in
tervening ridge and under the dun
cloud of dust, the earth was black for
| miles with herds of running buffalo.
Far down to the southeast, here. there
and everywhere over the land, the
| slopes were dotted with little knots of
lnclan braves-they could be nothing
| else-all riding like mad, coming
| straight toward them. Machpealota
probably had launched his whole force
on the trail of the luckless troopers.

CHAPTER xyIn.

Remonstrance on part OF his men
would have been violation of their
rules of order. Obedient to the lieuten-
ants instructions. Sergt. Bruce, with
evident reluctance, lowered his hand.
Whoever these Indians were they well
understood the principles that gov
erned civilized warfare. They well
knew that the white soldiers would re-
spect flag of truce, though in their
own vernacular they referred to the
sacred emblem only as fool flag"
and sometimes used it, as did the Mo-
docs five years later, to lure officers
into ambush and deliberately murder
them. They knew the white soldiers
would take no advantage of foemen
gathered for conference or parley, and
thus far the Sioux themselves had OBJ
served the custom which the Modocs
basely violated when in cold blood they
slaughtered Gen. Candy and the peace
commissioners sent to treat with them,
Confidently, therefore, came the two
young. warriors, but as Dean raised
himself from the ground and was
about to step forward the sergeant
spoke:
BEG pardon, sir, but these fellows
know all our officers. They would rec
ognize you at once. The word would
go to Red Cloud faster than any pony
could gallop. Let me meet them, or
let one of the men"
The ponies were coming at a, lope
now, and not an instant was to be lost.

sibly depend on theirnot being recog-

CARNEGIE's PARTING WORDS.
Says 1t Is Better tn Build n Merchant
Marine Than a Navy.

NEW YORK. May ANDREW Carnegie,
who is returning to his estate in Scotland,
sailed to-day on the ST. Louis. With him
are Mrs. Carnegie and Miss Carnegie. Mr..
Carnegie, before the vessel sailed, said 81
am going abroad on my usual holiday and
to get out of the heat. There has been
great alarm in regard to the iron and steel
business, but they are in good condition,
and. though prices may rule somewhat
lower, there will be no catastrophe"
Speaking further with a reporter, Mr.. Car
negie said:
1T is better to build up merchant ma
rine service than to build up a great navy.
If we build up the one we will have the
other. Let the ships be built so that they
will be of service in the navy. We can
build them so that in time of war they
could serve as fast cruisers. dispatch boats
or for other purposes. 1t would be better
for this country If we would do without
one two battleships a year and add
twenty or thirty fine ships to the merchant
marine service"
When asked whether he was going to
visit the Paris exposition Mr. Carnegie re-
piled: mo, / am not going to the EXPOSE
tion,'' and then he added: II have passed
the exposition stage. My only engagement
far is to speak at a banquet of the Iron
and Steel Institute at the Hotel Cecil. in
London, on May 2. Then ! am going to
Scotland where amid lochs and mountains
and near the sea, am going TO take a six
months holiday"
