CHAPTER VII.

AS Webb had predicted, even be-
fore nine O'Clock, came prompt, spir-
tied response from Laramie, where
the colonel had ordered the four
troops to prepare for instant march,
and had hidden the infantry to be
ready for any duty the general might
order. From Omaha-departmen
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. on the heels
of the Laramie wire came CHEEKY
word from their gallant chief:
Coming to join you noon train to-
day. Cheyenne 1880 tomorrow.
Your action in sending Rays troop
approved. Hold others in readiness
to move at a moments notice. Wire
further news North Platte, Sidney
or Cheyenne to meet me-"
Everybody, of course, was aware
by eight O'Clock that Field had gone
with Ray, and while no officers pre-
sumed to ask if it was because Ray,
or Field, had applied for the detail,
no woman would have been restrained
therefrom by any fear of Webb. Well
he realized this fact, and, lodging the
first that sought to waylay him on
the walk, he had later intrenched
himself, as it were, in his Office, where
Dade, Blake and the old post surgeon
bad sat with him in solemn conclave
while Bill Hay brought his clerk, bar
keeper, storekeeper, Pete, the general
utility man, and even "Crapaud," the
haIfbreed, to swear in succession they
had no idea who could have tempered
with either the safe or the stables.
Closely had they been c.oss-ex-
amined; and, going away in turn,
they told of the nature of this cross
examination; yet to no one cf their
number had been made known what
had occurred to cause sucn close
questioning. Hay had been forbidden
to speak of it, even to his household.
The otficers-of- the day were sworn to
secrecy. Neither Wilkins nor the act
ing adiutant was closcted with the
council, and neither, therefore, could
do more than guess at the facts. Yet
that somebody knew, in part at least,
the trend of suspicion, was at once
apparent to Webb and his councillors
when, about nine o'clock, he took
Blake and Dade to see those sig
nificant ''bar shoe" hoof prints.
Every one of them had disappeared.

to let no man walk o. ride about

Serene I fold my hands and wait
And hope that wind or tide or sea

For what's the use Of eager haste;
The man who labors all his days
Lets much sweet leisure go to waste.
sit and dream day after day
OF things that might be brought to me
If Fortune turned certain way
To put mo next with Destiny.
What matter If I sit alone
And hope to reap rich crops galore
From fields that have never sown?
Have such things not been done before?
I know the singing brook may not
Sit still and yet keep getting on;
But works a bore, and who knows what
May come before to-morrow's dawn?
The stars come nightly to the sky,
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Why may not something, then, If I
Keep right on waiting, come to me?

ton of Miss Flowers radiant face,
and in the effort to make his own
words eloquent, had no ears for those
of others. He never needed the
traders excited outburst. He only
saw her suddenly finch, suddenly
pale, then sway. His ready arm was
az ound her in a twinllling. In a
twinkling she twisted free from his
undesired clasp.
"Just-my foot turned-a pebble!"
she gasped.
But when, all assiduity, Tracy
would have seated her on the horse
block and examined the delicate
ankle, she refused straightway, and
with almost savage emphasis, and
with rigid lips, from which all lowell
ness had fed, babe him lead her
home, where, despite protest and APP
peal, personal and professional, she
dismissed him CURLY.

ITO Be Continued
Too Previous.

When DR.. sewell, for many years
warden of New college, Oxford, was
seriously ill, about a year ago, the
fellows of the college, and. indeed,
all his friends, despaired of his life.
The senior fellow at the time,
wishing to have all things in order,
wrote to the home secretary for
leave to bury the warden in the col
lege chapel.
Before the next college meeting
the warden had recovered. He pre-
sided at the meeting, and with no lit
tie enjoyment read out the home Of
fees letter permitting his own bu
rial.

Il H.,
young braves who had availed them
selves of purposely given chance
to escape, and then in their undis-
eliminating zeal, the Sioux had
opened fire from ambush on Plod-
der's hunting parties and the chop
pers at the wood camp, who defend
ed themselves as best they could, to
the end that more men, red and
white, We're killed. The Indians raj
lied in force and closed in about
Fort Beecher, driving the survivors
to shelter within its guarded lines,
and then, when Plodder needed every
man of his force to keep the foe at
respectful distance, so that his bull
let's could not reach the quarters
occupied by the women and children
at the post, there reached him by
night a runner from the stage sta
ton far over to the southeast, on
dry fork of the Powder, saying that
the north and southbound stages had
taken refuge there, with only ten
warriors, and therefore imploring as
sistance. Not daring to send troop,
Plodder called for volunteers to bear
dispatches to Maj. Webb, at Frayne,
and Pat Kennedy, with half dozen
brave lads, had promptly stepped
forward. Kennedy had managed to
slip through the encircling Sioux by
night, and to reach Fort Frayne
after daring and almost desperate
ride. Then Ray was ordered forth,
first to raise the siege at the stage
station, then, either to hold that i'm
portant relay ranch or go on to re-
inforce Plodder, as his judgment and
the situation might dictate.
He knew enough of the stout
adobe walls of the corral on the Dry
Fork, and of the grit of the few de-
tenders, to feel reasonably sure that,
with ammunition, provisions and wa
ter in plenty, they could easily hold
out week if need be against the
Sioux, so long as they fought on the
defensive and the Indians were not
strongly reinforced. He reasoned
that Stabber and his people were
probably gone to strengthen the at
tack, and that having an hours start
at least, and riding faster, they would
get there somewhat ahead of him.
But one of his own old sergeants, a
veteran of 20 years in the cavalry,
was now stationmaster on the Dry
Fork, and all the Sioux from the
Platte to Paradise couldn't stampede
old Jim Kelly. Many forced march
had Ray made in the past, and we'll
he knew that the surest way to bring
his horses into action, strong and
sound at the finish, was to move
''slow and steady" at the start, to
move at the walk until the horses
were calm and quiet, was his rule.
Then on this bright September day
would come the alternating trot and
lope, with brief halts to reset sad
dies; then, later still, the call upon
his willing men and mounts for sus-
tanned effort, and by sunset he and
they could count on riding in, tri-
umphant, to the rescue, even though
Stabber himself should seek to bar
the way.
And that Stabber meant to watch
the road, if not to block it, became
evident before the head of the col
umn began the gradual ascent of
Moccasin Ridge, from whose sharp
crest the little Land could take their
