And a saddle horse It had to be, any
way. because the only Hardness team
not UP at the McInness camp for the
winter was in Bracken, waiting to
bring Mr.. Hardness home when he re-
turned from Toronto, and all the
neighbors were in similar case-both
for horses and men. SO the young
minister saddled the "%coltie" while
Nell made him a cup of strong cof-
fee; he swallowed it, cheered her and
was Off-just as the clock struck four.
Four and a half hours later the camp

dition, the men at the McInness camp
heard a sound Of wild shouting. They
turned out of their hunks, out into the
night and the frozen darkness, to find
the young minister dropping over his
horse outside.

Then he tainted, and the broken leg

camp talker, was performing a sort Of
ecstatic war dance in the corner.

PRlNoELY CADETS.

Young Indian Chiefs and MOBILES who
Have Joined the New Corps.
Thus far seventeen young chiefs and
mobiles have Joined the imperial cadet
corps, which was established in India
a short while ago. OF these, thirteen
come from Rajputana and the central
states, two from the Bombay presi-
dency, n from the ,Punjab, and n
from Hyderabad. -Four are ruling
chiefs. The Others, are scions Of
princely or a~ristocratc families, most
Of whom have been educated at the
various chiefs colleges. It is the pur-
pose of the viceroy To modify, in some
degree, the curriculuh at these insti-
tuions, In order that the pupils may be
better qualified for the duties which
they willthaYa. ta m hereafter

camp for the corps has been arranged
at Meerut, and the hrst course of in
%struction will be given there. The
government will provide each cadet

each cadet has been narrowly limited.
Living in camp will be simple and the
discipline strict. The closest attention
will be paid to caste rules. The en-
tire course of instruction, which will
combine drill, riding and military TX
e%rcises, with suitable indoor instruc-
ton, will he so designed as to enable
the pick Of the cadets in time to take
their places as British officers. while
never losing the character and bearing
Of Indian gentlemen. When on duty
and during instruction the cadets will
wear a simple uniform. On ceremonial
or state occasions they will wear a
state uniform, for which special de-
signs are to be made. Probably the
cadets will soon be Inspected by the
viceroy, and they viii form a conspic-

to take the trail for the hunting
grounds, to face the savage beasts and

In 1878, and for nearly 200 years It was
believed to be destined to be the
great metropolis Of the southwest. In
1926 Gen. Lafayette visited Kaskas-
kia, and was so impressed with the
hustle and activity witnessed that he
predicted a great future for the French
settlement.
These hopes were blasted by the
great food Of 1874, followed forty
years later by the Mississippi getting
on a rampage and cutting a channel
through the sandy soil above the town,
uniting its waters with those Of the
Okaw, thus leaving the town on an
island and destroying its last hope for
sminence.

to the church Of Illinois. The old Kas-
kaskia bell, the liberty bell Of the west,
is ten years older than the old liberty
bell, with which it shared honors at
the worlds fair. This bell weighs
about $50 pounds and is ornamented
on one side with groups Of feur-de-lis
in relief, and on the other with a
cross and pedestal. The following in
scription is cast in the bell: Pour
reglise des Illinois par les SONS du
Sr, Dulieleau L. B. NJ. Normand a la
Rochelle, 1741." The old church con-
tains other things Of interest besides
the bell. Among them are the chalice
and paten presented to the church by
the king Of France, the table on which
was written the first constitution Of
the state of Illinois and the signature
Of Col George Rogers Clark, IT'S. The
old parish records are kept here.
Some superstitious people associate
the fate Of Kaskaskia with a tragedy
OF early days. It was over 100 years
ago that the young chief Of the Kas-
kaskia Indians fell in love with the
daughter Of one of the early settlers
named Bernard. The young people, de-
spairing Of the consent Of the father
Of the girl to their marriage, eloped.
They were pursued and captured, the
father Of the girl being the leader Of
the party.

sistance and the posse started on the
