was late In the evening and his car
on the uptown trip had reached the
vicinity OF the city hall. As IL passed
one of the taller office buildings a
stout woman clutching him by the
arm, exclaimed
"Oh, conductor, how many stories
high is that building2"
Leven," laconically replied the
conductor, without SO much as an up
ward glance. The woman sank back
with "a sigh Of satisfaction.
just then a small man with large
travelling bag rushed in almost out OF
breath.
IL say, conductor" he gaspcd, "what
time can | get TO the Grand Central
depot?"
Leven," was the quiet reply.
That's good" commented the small
man, evidently relieved.
At this juncture another man
climbed aboard that wanted to know
what time the car would reach the Gil
sey house.
'Leven," again replied the conduc-
tor, with u weary look.
When questioned as 20 the Uniform
ity of his answers, he replied:
Eyes; you see. IL you hesitate about

thought him a villain when learned
how he was trying to undermine you.
Time proved him thief and a scoun-
drel, but, peace to his ssnes, he died
like q gentleman, after all, with two
Indian bullets through him, and just
ms the rescue came. He had time to
make a full confession, and IL was all
pretty much as l suspected. The note
Dean picked up at Reno, that so STAN
peded him, told how blackmailing
scoundrel was on his way TO Emory to
expose him unless headed off by fur
Their huge payments. 1t was the fellow
who called himself Newhall."
1.-THE fellow who gave the tip to Bird
sails people ?" said old Folsom at this
juncture, raising q bandaged head from
his daughters lap. "Who was he.
really?"
"Burleigh knew all the time, and l
suspected the moment / heard Miss
Folsom's description, and was certain
the instant laid eyes on him. He was
rascally captain cashiered at Yuma
the year before, and was judge advo-
cate OF the court"
"And Mrs. Fletcher" asked Pap
poose, extending one hand TO Jess,
while the other smoothed the gray
cur.s of her fathers forehead.
Mrs. Fletcher was his deserted wife,
one OF those women who have known
better days"
The ranch is still there, or was 90
years ago, but even then the Sioux were
said TO raise more hair in the neigh
borhood than Folsom did cattle. The
fathers, and Mrs. Hal TO here, for she
broke down utterly after the events Of

to revisit the spot for some tine, yet,
oddly enough, both have done So more
than once. The first time its chrc nicler
ever saw II was in company with IA stall
wart young captain of horse and his
dark-eyed, beautiful wife nine years
after the siege. Hal met us, "a shy, 81.

your wife?"
He looked shyer still. "sLe don't
like to meet folks unless"
There's no unless about II, said sho
lady, with all her old decision, as she
sprang from the ambulance, and pres
emily reappeared, leading by the hand
reluctant, yet not all unhappy Lizette.
Some people said Hal Folsom had no
business TO marry an Indian girl be.

all who knew Lizette said he di per.

that settled il. AS for LorinS- But

THE LAST LAUGH.
Ii Was the best and Was Enjoyed by
the Man Who Owned

There's another case OF the man

joker the other day, pointing 10 tur-

dence, says the Washington Sgn'.
IL don't understand where ghe laugh

"Of course, you don't, but / do, and

could buy in n store. volunteered TO
get the seed, but conclude would
put up n job on him."
"And couldn't he tell the difference
between seed for turnips ana seed for
grass?" interrupted the heartr.
"He thought there was sUmel In ing
about the seed that was MT exactly
right, but, not being a farmsr, he was
not certain. / told him the seed had
been brought from the Philippines,
and he expected TO see SON ething in

gan TO show themselves mr. friends

inquiries about the neighborhood.
None OF his neighbors could tell what
was growing on his parking and per-
sisted in telling him what a beautiful
grass plot he would have some day.

nips could be seen, and my friend en-.
joyed the joke"

The flowers know the story
or what the moonlight sees,
AT midnight, at midnight.
Beneath the forest trees.
All day they stir and whisper
And toss their heads In gles;
or moonlight and midnight
They know the mystery.
For all too dull are mortals.
Their senses all too slow.
In moonlight, at midnight,
To catch the passing show.
But all the flowers know H.;
They wake when mortals dream.
In moonlight. at midnight.
They see the fairies CLEAN.
They see the mystic dances
or elves and spirits gay.
In moonlight. at midnight.
How merrily they playl
The beauty OF the flowers
Is won In hours like these.
In moonlight, at midnight,
Beneath the forest trees.

and calls from the besieged. who
sought TO save them to the last, but not
once as yet had the ranch replied with
q shot. Down In the cellar women
chung together or slasped their wall
ing children and listened fearfully to
the clamor. In Halls room the fevered
sufferer awoke from his stupor, and,
demanding his rifle, struggled to rise
from the bed, and there John Folsom
found Pappoose, pale and determined,
bending over her weakened brother
and holding him down almost as she
could have overpowered a child. Lift
ing his son in his strong arms, he bore
him TO the cellar and laid him upon a
couch of buffalo robes. watch him
here, my child" he said, as he clasped
her in his arms one moment. "But on
no account let anyone show above
ground now. There are more OF them
than i thought, yet there is hope for
us. Somebody is vexing them down the
Laramie"
Bounding up the steps, the veteran
was almost back at his post upon the
porch when there came a sound that
seemed TO give the lie TO his last
words and that froze the hope that
had risen in his breast-the sudden
rumble and thunder of at least 200
hoofs, the charging yell of an Indian
band, the sputter and bang of rifles
close at hand, and then a rush Of feet,
as, with faces agonized with fear,
three OF the men came darting within.
ITS all upl There's million In
dians!" they cried. Two OF the de-
moralized fellows plunged into the
burst into childish wailing and chung
to Folsom's knees.
Let go, you coward" yelled the
old man in fury, as he kicked himself
loose, and then went bounding out
upon the porch. God, what n sight!
Sweeping up the gentle slope, bran
dishing rifles and lances and war
clubs, racing for their hapless prey,
came so ogallallas, Burning Star
among the leaders. Bullets could not
stop them now The two men who
had stood to their posts knelt grim
and desperate, and Lannon's last
shot took effect. Within so yards of
the walls Burning Stars rushing pony
went down on his nose, and in the
fury of his pace, turned sudden and
complete somersault, crushing his red
rider under him, and stretching him
senseless on the turf. An inspiration,
almost God given, seemed 90 fash upon
the old trader at the instant. Bare
headed, in his shirt sleeves, throwing
upward and forward his empty hands,
he sprang out as though TO meet and
rebuke his assailants. "Holdl" he
cried, in the tongue he knew so well.
Are my brothers crazed? Look!

OF their charge, many Indians at
sight of him yeered to right and left;

"Upl Up, everybody! Thank God,
it's Dean and the boys!"

Long years after, in the camps and
stockades and the growing towns of
the far west that almost marvellous
vescue was the theme of many an
lour's talk. The number of men who
took part in il, the number of hardy
fellows who personally guided the
troops or else stood shoulder to shout
der with Ned Lannion ut the last tri-
umphant moment, increased so rapid
~ with the growing moons that in
time the only wonder was that any
thing was left of the Sioux. Official
records, however, limited the number
of officers and men engaged to a Sc
lect few, consisting entirely of Lieut..
Loring, United States engineers;
Lieut.. Loomis, -th infantry; a few
men from scattered troops, "pickups"
at Frayne and Emory, with Lieut..
of company &C."
Loring, il will be remembered, had
taken a small detachment from En-
DRY and gone into the hills in search Of
Burleigh. LOOMS, fretting at the fort,
was later electrified by most grudg-
ingly given order 10 march to the Lar
annie and render such aid as might be
required by the engineer officer of the
department. Dean, with only Is men
all told, had dashed from Frayne
straight for the ranch, and, marching
all night, had come in sight OF the
valley just as il was lighted afar TO
the westward by the glare Of the burn
ing buildings. ave thought IL was all
over" said he, as he lay there weak
and languid, few days later, for the
wound reopened in the rush OF the
fight. "but we rode on TO the Laramie
and there, God be thanked! fell in with
LOOMS here and c. troop, heading for
the fire. No words can tell you our Joy
when we found the ranch still stand
ing and some 40 Sioux getting ready
for the final dash. That running fight,
past the old home and down the valley
