who had done nowhere near the amount of field, service performed by Dean. He, a troop commander marches. and from perilous duty, had practically been relieved from the command of his troop, told to take ten men and run the gantlet through the swarming Sioux. The more Fol som thought the more he believed that he had grave reason for his sus- picion, and reason equally grave for calling on the quartermaster for e2- planation. He reached the corral gate. It was locked. but . little postcrn in the stockade let him through. One or two sleepy hands appeared about the stables. but the office was deserted. Straight to Bur leigh's quarters he went and banged at the door. Ii took three bangs to bring a servant.

Tell him l am here,' and as the serv- ant slowly shamblCd up the stairs, Folsom entered the sittin~-room. desk near the window was open and it's contents Uttered about. The draw CTS in heavy bookcase were open and papers were strewn upon the floor. The folding doors to the din ing-room were open. Dccanters, gob- lets, cigar stumps and heel taps were scattered over the table. Guest or host, or both. had left things in riot ous shape. Then down came the serv- ant, a scared look in his eyes.
 'Thc major isn't in, sir. His bed hasn't been occupied, an the captains gone, too. Their uniforms are there, though"
 Five minutes later, on borrowed horse, John Folsom was gailoping like mad for his home. A door in the high board fence at the rear of his house shot open just as he was dart ing through the lane that led to the stable. woman's form appeared in the gap-the last thing that he saw for dozen hours, for the horse shied violently, hurling the rider headlong to the ground.

THE ROOM AT THE TOP.

Daniel Webster said great many good and true things. in his time, but he never said anything better or t1uer than this: 'There is always room at the top" There is more room there now than ever before. The room is growing, and ii is to be oc- cupied, not by people born to it as an estate, but by those who have the courage to believe in themselves. and the ability to struggle until they reach ii.
 The great hunger of the time is for good men. There does not seem to be enough good men to go around. There is competition for those that are avail able. There is plenty of room, plenty of opportunity. no matter what busi- ness you are in. You get a training 2 in coming in contact with men. Your wits are sharpened. You meet crankS and peculiar men of all kinds, but you must learn to put up with their peculiaritics. Always look pleasant; be good-natured. If Il man is cross, don't get cross, but make him feel small by being good-natured- Success comes with good nature; remember that, and always stick to your pur- pose If things look dark and are apparently against you, do not be dis couraged. If you are. you will be- gin to feel that everything IS designed to keep you down, and all are against you. They will be, if you let that feei- ing master you. Concentration of thought and action wins. A purpose definite and fixed. rallies the whole man. and he goes for his object with his whole soul. It is the man who at tempts to do dozen things who fails. He scatters his forces to such an eX- tent that he accomplisleS nothing. He hits nothing hard; his best blows do not amount to much: they may amuse or entertain, but that is all. He needs to localize his efforts. It is the human element of power that carries great reforms. achieves mighty revolutions, and makes the world better It is the power that is now pushing the world forward in it's marvellous progress.
 One lesson I want to impart. and fix in your minds. You must not in sist too much on your defects or de- ficiencies. Find out what kind of ca pacities you have (eyerybody has some,) and work those for all they are worth. If you do this honestly, you will be successful at what you have undertaken. You may not be able to write an opera, fight q great battle. or paint q great picture. but you will succeed in that thing for which you have genuine capacity and fitness. Life has no greater prize for any man. Success. 4S
