their Maker at such times, even in SOL
der oath. 1t is awe, not blasphemy.
"By God, lieutenant, that's what we'd
a-been doing but for your order" 1t
was the sergeant who spoke.
And at that very hour there was ex-
citement at Fort Emory. At eight
o'clock the colonel was on his piazza
looking with gloomy eyes over the dis
tant rows of empty barracks. The
drum-major with the band at his heels
came stalking out over the grassy pa
rade, and the post adjutant, girt with
sash and sword belt stood in front of
his office awaiting the sergeant-major,
who was unaccountably delayed. Re-
duced to a shadow the garrison at Fort
Emory might reasonably have been ex-
cused, by this time, from the ceremony
of mounting a guard, consisting prac-
$ically of ten privates, three of whom
wore the cavalry jacket; but old "Peck-
sniff" was determined to keep up some
ahow of state. He could have no pa
rade or review, but at least he could re-
quire his guard to be mounted with all
She pomp and ceremony possible. He
would have ordered his officers out in
epaulets and the full dress "Kossuth"
hat of the period, but epaulets had
been discarded during the war and not
yet resumed on the far frontier. So
the rank and file alone were called
upon to appear in the black-feathered
oddity a misguided staff had designed
"a the headgear of the army. peek

braves, then indeed would there be no
hope of getting back without a battle
royal. There was only one chance of
safety-that the Indians should not
discover their presence. If they did and
realized who the intruders were, Jessie
Dean might look in vain for her broth
er's return. Pappoose would never hear
the love words that, trembling on his
lips the night he left her, had been
poured out only to that unresponsive
picture. Two ways there were in which
the Indians could know of his presence.
One by being informed through some
half-breed spy, lurking about Frayne;
but then who would be bastard enough
to send such word? The other by being
seen and recognized by some of the
Ogallalla band, and thus far he be-
lieved they had come undetected, and it
was now after five o'clock-after five
O'Clock and all was well. In few hours
they could again be on their starlit
way. With the morrow they should be
safely within the gates of the new
stockade at Warrior Gap.
Turning with hope and relief in his
face to speak to Sergt. Bruce, who
lay there at his elbow, he saw the
blue-sleeved arm stretching forth in
warning to lie low, and with grave
eyes the veteran was gazing straight
at little butte that rose from the
rolling surface not more than half a
mile away to the southeast.
"Lieutenant," he whispered, "there
are Indians back of that hill at this
minute, and it isn't buffalo they're
laying for"
Dean was brave. He had been tried
and his mettle was assured, and vet
he felt the sudden chill that coursed
his veins. 'How can they have seen
us?" he murmured.
MAY have struck our trail out to
the southwest" said Bruce, slowly,
"or they may have been told of our
coming and are stalking us. They've
got a heavy score to settle with this
troop, you know"
For a moment only the breathing
of the little party could be heard. All
eyes were fixed upon the distant
mound. At last Dean spoke again.
"When did you see them first and
how many are thereT
Near ten minutes ago. saw
something luttering swift along the
sky line just beyond that divide to the
south 1t skinned like a bird, all
but the quick bobbing up and down
that made me sure there was a gall
Looping pony under it. Then another
skinned along. 1t was the bunch of
feathers and red flannel on their
lances, and my belief is that they
struck our trail back here somewhere,
and that there's only a small party,
and they don't know just who we are
and they want to find out"

shifts" half dozen doughboys, therefore,
with their attendant sergeants and
corporals in the old fashioned frock
and felt, and a still smaller squad of
troopers in yellow-trimmed jackets
and brass mounted forage caps, were
drawn up at the edge of the parade
awaiting the further signal of adju-
tant's call, while the adjutant himself
swore savagely and sent the orderly
on the run for the sergeant-major.
When the clock-governed functionary
was missing something indeed must be
going wrong.
Presently the orderly came running
back.
"Sergt. Dineen isn't home, sir, and
his wife says he hasn't been back since
the lieutenant sent him to town with
the last dispatch"
Tell the first sergeant of B COM
pany, then, to act as sergeant-major at
once" said the adjutant, and hurried
over to his colonel. "Dineen's not back,
sir" he reported at the gate. Can
anything be wrong?"
Il ordered him to bring with him the
answer to my dispatch to the general,
who wired to me from the railway de-
pot at Cheyenne. Probably he's been
waiting for that, and the generals
away somewhere. We ought to have
an operator here day and night" said
Pecksniif, petulantly. But the irrita-
ton in his eyes gave way to anxiety
when at that moment the suffers
buggy was seen dashing into the gar
rison at headlong speed, his smart
trotter urged almost to run. Griggs
refined up with no little hard pulling
at the colonel's gate, and they could
see dozen yards off that his face was
pale.
''Have you any idea, colonel" he
began the moment the officers reached
him, "where Maj. Burleigh can be?
He left the depot somewhere about
three o'clock this morning with that
Capt. Newhall. He hasn't returned
and can't be found. Your sergeant
major was waylaid and robbed some
time after midnight, and John Fol-
som was picked up senseless in the
alley back of his house two hours
ago. What does it all mean?"

CHAPTER XVI.-CoNTINUED.

Instinctively Dean put forth his
hand under the dripping poncho and
tugged at the straps of his off saddle
bag. No need for dread on that score.
The bulky package, wrapped, sealed
and corded, was bulging out of the
side of his field pouch till it looked as
though he had crammed a cavalry
boot into it's NAV.
"Thirty men-mounted? ?--no wag-
ons or - anything?" he anxiously
asked
Full thirty, sir, and every man
armed with a rifle as far as l could
see," said Carey, land if it was us
they was after, they'd have had us at

A shout from one of the men at
tracted the attention of the lead
ers. The storm had spent it's
force and gone rolling away eastward.
The thunder was rumbling far over
toward the now invisible crest of the
Black Hills of Wyoming. The rain
sheets had given place to trickling
downpour. A dim light was stealing
into the blackness of the gorge.
Louder and fiercer roared the Box
Elder, lashing its banks with foam.
And then came the cry again.
''I tell you it is, by God! for there
goes another!"
All eyes followed the direction of the
pointing finger. All eyes saw, even
though dimly, the saddled form of a
horse plunging and struggling in the
food, making vain effort to Chamber

Cuban Englis n.

A male Cuban teacher who prides
himself on having acquired English,
had changed his clothes one day and
in doing so had forgotten to transfer
from one garment to the other the
key to his desk. This is how he told
his friend of it: 81 have forget the
key to my other trousers" Another
when told that a friend had just been
in town, inquired: did you walk at
the foot or at the carp" The Cam
bridge jokes are not all on the Gu
bans. Recently "a boy was engaged to
distribute tickets to the teachers for
an approaching concert. President
Eliot, standing by, thought he might
possibly attend, and extended his
hand for ticket. The boy gave a
glance at him and remarked, scorn-
fully: you amt no Cuban!"-Troy

AN IRISH JUDGE.
Spe ecimens of the wit for which Lord
Morris Became Fa-
nous.

Lord Morris, always a wit and now
Galway, and has never lost the mel
lifuous brogue of west of Ireland
folk. This characteristic makes the
groundwork of story which the Lon
don Telegraph tells of him.
One day Lord Morris was sitting at
the Four Courts as lord chief JUS
tice of Ireland, when a young bar
rister from the north rose nervous
ly to make his first motion. The
Judge had declared that no one listen
ing to himself would ever take him
for anything but an Irishman, which
was perfectly correct. But Galway
could not understand Antrim. The
lord chief justice leaned over to ask
the associate where the barrister
hailed from.
County Antrim" was the response.
Then asked his lordship of the Of
fetal: Did ye iver come across sich
frightful accint in the course of yer
loife?"
At another time it fell to his lot
to hear case at Coleraine, in which
damages were claimed from a veter-
mary surgeon for having poisoned a
valuable horse. The issue depended
! upon whether a certain number of
grains of particular drug could be
safely administered to the animal.
The dispensary doctor proved that
he had often given eight grains to
man, from which it was to be in
ferred that 12 for horse was not
excessive.
'Never mind yer eight grains,
docther," said the judge. eve all
know that some poisons are cumula-
tive in effect, and ye may go to the
edge of ruin with impunity. But tell
me this: The IL grains-wouldn't
they kill the divil himself if he swal-
lowed them?"
The doctor was annoyed and POM
pously replied: 81 don't know, my
lord; l never had him for patient"
From the bench came the answer:
"Ah, no, docther, ye niver had, more's
the pity! The old bhoy's still aloive."

sTRANGLEp BY BEEFsTEAK.
Davenport Man Chokes to Death at

Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, May 21.-James Duffy, Of
Davenport, was choked to death yesler-
day by a piece of beefsteak that lodged
in the esophagus. Duffy was seated at
dinner with his family when he sudden
~ rose, struggled with the air for a mos
inent and fell to the floor in an uncon-
3sc;eus condition. A physician was Sc
cured at once, but when he arrived the
man was dead. 1t was thought at first
that the man had died of paralysis. but
a post mortem examination made later
by DIR. Lambach proved beyond doubt
that death was due to strangulation.
The doctor removed a piece, of beefsteak
from the esophagus of the man, lodged
at the top of the windppe. The meat
weighed almost three ounces. 1t is pos
sible, the doctor said. that the man lived
for five minutes after the meat had
lodsed--five minutes is the limit-but it
IS very probable that he lived but lit
