CHAPTER VII.

Lieut.. Deans orders required that
he should march his troop without un-
necessary delay to Fort Emory, there
to take station relieving troop r, or
dered to change to Frayne, which
meant, in so many words, to take the
field. Capt. Brooks, still wrestling with
the fever, had retired to his quarters
at the old frontier fort that stood so
long on the bluffs overlooking the fords
of the Platte. The surgeon said he
must remain in bed at least a week,
so meantime the troop packed up,
sent its wagons ahead over the range,
babe God speed to F as it passed
through en- route to the front, ex-
changed volley CT chaff and chewing
tobacco over, the parting game OF
'freeze out" fought to a finish on
many an outspread saddle blanket
then logged on toward Gate City,
making wide detour at the sug-
pestion of the field officer in COM
mand at Frayne, that they might
scout the Laramie plains and see
that all was well at Folsom's ranch.
This detour was duly reported to the
peppery veteran at Fort Emory, an old
colonel whose command was by this
time reduced from headquarters, field,
staff and band" six companies of in
fantry and four troops of cavalry to
the band and two desperately over
worked companies of foot. "Two
nights in bed'' were all his men could
hope for, and sometimes no more than
one, so grievous was the guard duty.
Hence "old Pecksniff, - his adjutant and
ouartermaster and his two remaining
companies saw fit to take it as most
unkind in Lieut.. Col. Ford to authorize
that diversion of Deans, and highly i'm
proper on Deans part to attempt it.
By this time, too, there was in cir
culation at Emory a story that this
transfer of C to interior lines and
away from probable contact with the
Sioux was not so much that it had
done far more than it's share OF that
arduous work. completely using up its
captain, as that, now the captain was
used up, the authorities had their
doubts as to the nerve" of the lieu
tenant in temporary command. A fell
low who didn't care to come to Emory
and preferred rough duty up along the
Platte must be lacking in some essen

too far to be of use to them and Just
far enough to be an easy prey for
the lurking foe. Then, too, it occurred
to him that he must not leave the
ranch unprotected. Already he was
within long rife range of the height;
already probably some beady eye was
glancing through the sights, and the
deadly tube was covering him as he
came bounding on. Three hundred
yards more and his life probably
wouldn't be worth a dollar in con.
federate money, and wisely the young
leader began to draw rein, and, turR.
ing in saddle, signaled to his single
companion, laboring along one hun.
dred yards behind, to hasten to join
him. Presently the trooper came
squirting up,a swarthy young Ger
man, but though straining every
nerve, the troop was still mile away.
ride back, Wegner, and tell the
sergeant to take ten men around that
side-the south side of the bluff" and
he pointed with his hand; "the rest to
come straight to me-"
Oh, well was it for Dean that he
checked his speed, and as. the young
dragoon went suffering back, that
he himself drew rein and waited for
the coming of his men. Suddenly from
far out along the ridge in front, from
the very crest, there leaped jet or
two of fire and smoke. Two little
spurts of dust and turf flew up from
the prairie sod dozen yards in front,
a rifle bullet went singing off through
the sunny air, Rabb, his handsome
bay, paved the ground and switched
about, and up on the crest, riding
boldly in full view, two 1.-THE, naked.
painted warriors, war bonnets trailing
over their ponies groups, yelling shrill
insult and derision, went tearing away
northward, one CT them pausing long
enough to wave some ragged object
on high and give out ringing, exultant
whoop ere he disappeared from view.
cts a scalp, lieutenant" shouted
the foremost sergeant as he came up
to join his chief. They've got one,
anyhow"
"Come on, then. and we'll get It
back" was the only answer, as with
nearly thirty troopers stringing out
behind them, the two launched out in
chase.

AN ENEMY TO DRINK.
One Woman who has Done a Great Deal
to put Down this Evil.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. II, 1900
Especially. -When the Independent Or
der of Good Templars of Minnesota
wanted State Organizer, they chose
Mrs. Laura J. Smith, of 1917 West 33rd
Street, this city. The American Anti
Treat League also selected Mrs. Smith
as National Organizer. The reason is
not far to seek. This gifted woman has
devoted her life to battle against
Drink and Drinking Habits. Her influ-
ence for good in Minnesota is and has
been very far reaching.
About two years ago, however. IL
seemed as if this noble woman would
have to give up her philanthropic work
Severe pains in her back and under her
shoulder blades, made life burden
and work impossible. Physicians were
consulted. and they prescribed for
Kidney Disease. Three months treat
ment, however. failed to give Mrs.
Smith any relief. Her husband was
much exercised, and cast about him for
something that would restore his good
wife to health and strength. He heard
of the cures effected by Dodd's Kidney
Pills. and advised her to try them.
which she did. She is now a we'll wom-

those he loved9 What was to prevent?
Well they knew the exact location of
his ranch. They had fshed and sport
ed all about it in boy days-days when
the soldiers and the Sioux were all
good friends, days before the mistaken
policy of post commander had led
to an attack upon peaceful band, and
that to the humiliation of the attack
ing party. From that fatal day of the
Grattan massacre ten years before,
there had been no real truce with the
Sioux, and now was opportunity af-
forded for a long-plotted revenge.
Dean wondered Folsom had not looked
for it instead of sleeping in fancied
security.
A mile nearer the butte and, glanc-
ing back, he could see his faithful
men come bounding in his tracks. A
mile ahead, rising abruptly from the
general level. little knoll or butte
jutted out beyond the shoulders Of
the foothills and stood sentinel with.
in three hundred yards of the stream.
On the near-the westward-side, moth.
ing could be seen of horse or man.
Something told him he would find the
combatants beyond-that dead or
alive, Hal Folsom would be there
awaiting him. A glance at the COM
manding heights and the ridge that
connected it with the tumbling, wood
ed hills to the north, convinced him
that at that moment some of the foe
were lurking there, watching the
westward valley, and by this time
they knew full well of the coming OF
the cavalry to- the rescue. BY this
time, more than likely, they were
scurrying off to the mountains again
returning the way they came, with q
start of at least two miles.
"With or without the coveted
scalps?" he wondered. Thus far he
had been riding straight for the butte
The road wound around and disap'
Feared behind him, but there was nc
sense in following the road. "Pursue
and punish" was the thing to be
done. Surely not more than q dozen
were in the band, else that courier
could never have hoped to get in
wounded as he was. The Indians were
too few in number to dare follow to
the ranch, guarded as by almost God
given luck, it happened to be through
the unlooked-ior presence of the
troops. No, it was a small band
though daring one. Its lookout hsd
surely warned it by this time of his
coming, and by this time, too, all
save one or two who rode the fleetest
ponies and fingered probably for q
parting shot at the foremost of the
chase, had scampered away behind
the curtain of that ridge. Therefore
in long curve, never checking his
magnificent stride, Dean guided his
bounding bay to the left-the north
east-and headed for the lowest point
of the divide.
And then it all occurred to him toe
that he was far in front of his men

CHAPTER vI.-CoNr1NuEp.

Measuring as he meant his words
to be, Marshall Dean himself looked
anxiously about at the unprotected
walls. Not even the customary 'dug
out" or underground refuge seemed to
have been prepared. Almost every
homestead, big or little, of those days,
had it's tunnel from the cellar to a
drgout near at hand, stocked with
provisions and water and provided
with loopholes commanding the neigh
borhood, and herein the besieged
could take refuge and stand off the
Indians until help should come from
the nearest fort. "The name Of Fol-
som is our safeguard" said Mrs. Hal,
in her happy honeymoon days, but
that was before the mother told her
of the threats of Burning Star or the
story of the Ogallalla girl he vainly
loved. "All that happened so long ago.
she murmured, when at last the tale
was told. But Hal should have known,
if she did not, that even when it
seems to sleep Indian vengeance is
but gaining force and fury.
Presently Mrs. Hal came tripping
forth again, little carte de visite in
her hand, smile of no little signiti-
canoe on her lips. "Now, Mr.. Dean,
will you tell me what you think of that
for pappoose?"
And with wonderment in his eyes
the young officer stod and held it and
gazed.
There stood Pappoose, to be sure,
but what change! The little maiden
with the dark braids of hair hanging
far below her waist had developed into
. tall slender girl, with clear-cut oval
face, crowned by . mass of dark tress-
es. Her heavy, low-arching brows
spanned the thoughtful deep, dark
brown eyes that seemed to speak the
soul within and the beautiful face was
lighted up with smile that showed
just peep of faultless white teeth,
cleaning through the warm curves OF
her soft, sensitive lips. The form was
exquisitely rounded, yet supple and
erect.
Hasn't Jessie written you of how
Nell has grown and improved? said
Mrs. Hall with woman's quick note
of the admiration and surprise in
Deans regard.
'She must have" was the answer,
I'm sure she has, but perhaps l
thought it schoolgirl rhapsody-per-
haps had too many other things to
think Of"
perhaps you'll find it superseding
these too many other things, Mr.. Sol
der Boy" was Mrs. Halls mental com
ment. ''Now, sir, if you've gazed
enough perhaps you'll tell me your
plans" and she stretched forth re-
claiming hand.
But he hung on to the prize. LET me
keep it minute" he pleaded. Its
theloveliest thing I've seen in months
And, studying his absorbed face, She
yielded, her eyebrows arching, pref

lips, and neither noticed the non-com'
missioned officer hurrying within the
gate, nor that half the men in "C'
