to the wailing mistress. who, white

calling foe some one to 60 and save
her husband. Dean almost bore her to

On the floor at her feet lay the little
card photograph, and Dean. hardly
thinking what he did, stopped, picked
il up and placed it in the pocket of his
hunting shirt, just as the trumpeter
on his plunging gray reached the gate,
Deans big, handsome charger trotting
swiftly alongside. In an instant the
lieutenant was in saddle. in another
second a trooper ga!loped up with his
belt and carbine. Already the men
were leading into line across the
stream. and, bidding the trumpeter tell
Sergt. Shaughnessy 10 follow at speed,
the young officer struck spur to his
horse and, carbine in hand, a single
trooper at his heels, away he darted
down the valley. C troop, splashing
through the ford moment later, took
the direct road past the stockade of
the corral, disappeared from sight

ton and, when next ii hove in view, ii
was galloping front into line far down
the Laramie, then once more vanished
behind its curtain OF dust.

young officer had of the scene of the
fight, for fight he knew 1t must be,
and even as he went bounding down
the valley he recalled the story of the
Indian girl, the threats Of Burning
Star, the vowed vengeance OF her
brothers. Could IL be that, taking adj
vantage Of this raid OF Red Cloud, far
from all the reservations, far from
possibility OF detection by count of pry-

gang OF daring, deyil-may-care young
warriors TO slip away from the Big
Horn with them and, riding stealthily
away from the beaten trails, TO ford

And winter gales by airs of balm.
Dark night gives place 10 sun-bright day:
Let Hope still cheer thee on thy way,
Beyond the cloud still shines the sun;
Press on until thy work is done.
Perchance thou many times hast failed
Some weakness over thee prevailed.
And thou hast faltcred I'm the strife
And sadly rued thy bllghted life;
Though, great thy grief and keen thy

For thee still flows lifes golden sands:
To better things sweet voices call
But God in love rules over all.

Grattan massacre ten years before,
there had been no real truce with the
Sioux, and now was opportunity af-
forded for 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

On the near-the westward-side, moth

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
handing heights and the ridge that
connected il 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 a
start OF at least two miles.
"With or without the coveted
scalps?" he wondered. Thus far he
had been riding straight for the butte.

too few in number TO dare follow TO
the ranch, guarded as, by almost God
given luck, IL happened TO be through
the unlooked-for presence Of the
troops. No, IL was small band,

save one or two who rode the flectest
ponies and fingered probably for

chase, had scampcrcd away behind

Most interesting is Bishop Whipple's
account OF the manner in which he

An uprising was imminent, and the
Indians had already killed the govern
ment cattle. Bishop Whipple was re-
quested by the president to go TO
Leech Lake and negotiate with the In
dams. 1T was in the dead of winter,
the thermometer below zero, and the
snow deep. 1t was n journey Of rs
miles through the forest, and il took
us three days TO reach the lake. The
Indians came TO their council in paint
and feathers, angry and turbulent"
Falmouth, their chief, made violent
speech, TO which the bishop replied
briefly, as follows: 81 shall tell YOU
the truth. 1t will not be pleasant 10
my red brother. When you killed
those cattle, you struck the Great
Father in the face. When you stole
those goods. you committed n crime.

Great Father will do. lie has not told
me. If he docs what he ought to do,
he will arrest those who have com
mitted this crime, if it takes 10000

Reassuring as he meant his words
10 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 its tunnel from the cellar to a
dugout 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 yainly
loved. "All that happened so long ago"
she murmured, when at last the talo
was told But Hal should have known,
IL she did not, that even when IL

but gaining force and fury.

her hand, a smile of no little signiil-
canoe on her lips. "Now, Mr.. Dean,
will you tell me what you think of that
for a pappoose?"
And with wonderment in his eyes
the young officer stod and held ii and
gazed.
There stood Pappoose, TO be sure,
but what changed The little maiden
with the dark braids of hair hanging
far below her waist had developed into
a 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 10 speak the
soul within and the beautiful face was
lighted up with n smile that showed
just peep of faultless white teeth,
cleaning through the warm curves of
her soft, sensitive lips. The form was
exquisitcly rounded, yet supple and
erect.

Mrs. Hall with woman's quick note
OF the admiration and surprise in

yielded, her eyebrows arching, pref
