'Thac means news of importance"
said Webb, at the instant. 'And
Gregg and all of his squad are COM,
ing in-not following Flake; ! That
means he and they are more needed
elsewhere. Come on, Mr.. Ross. Well
go down and meet that fellow. Or
derly, have my horse sent to the
ford" So, followed the three or four
younger officers-the married men
being restrained, as rule, by pro-
testing voices, close at, lhand-the
commanding officer went slipping and
sliding down narrow, winding path
way, a mere goat track, many of the
soldiers following at a respectful
distance, while all the rest of the
gathered throng remained at the
crest, eagerly, almost breathlessly,
awaiting the result. They saw the
trooper come speeding in across the
flats from the northeast; saw as he
reached the "bench'' that he was
spurring hard; heard, even at the
distance, the batter of hoofs upon the
resounding sod; could almost hear
the fierce painting of the racing steed;
saw horse and rider come plunging
down the bank and into the stream,
and showing breast-deep through the
foaming waters; then issue dripping,
on the hither shore, where, turning
loose his horse, the soldier leaped
from saddle and saluted his COM
mander. But only those about the
major heard the stirring message:
"Captain Gregg's compliments, sir.
It's Rudge from the Dry Fork. Ser
geant Kelly feared that Kennedy
hadn't got through, for most of Lame
VOLTS people pulled away from the
Fork yesterday morning, coming this
way, and the sergeant thought it was
to unite with Stabber to surround
any small command that might be
sent ahead from here. Rudge was or
dered to make a wide sweep to the
east, so as to get around them, and
that's what took him so long. He
left not two hours after Kennedy" +
In spite of his years of frontier
service and training in self-control,
, Webb felt, and others saw, that his
face was paling. Ray, with only so
men at his back, was now out of sight
out = Of reach-of the post and prob
ably face to face with, if not already
surrounded by, the combined forces
OF the Sioux. Not a second did he
hesitate. Among the swarm that had
followed him was a young trumpeter
of s:K'' troop, reckless of the fact that
he should be at barracks, packing his
kit. AS luck would have it, there at
bis back hung the brazen clarion,
held by it's yellow braid and cord.
Boots and saddles, Kerry, quick!"
ordered the major, and as the ringing
notes re-echoed from bluff and build
ing wall and came laughing back from
the distant crags at the south, the
little throng at the bank and the
crowd at the point of the bluff, had
scattered like startled coveys-the
men full run for the barracks and
stables, never stopping to treason
why" .. .,.,,.'... -
Warren sheaf., 1903-08-13

Nearly half an hour later, gray
haired Capt. Dade stood at the point
of bluff near the flagstaff, Esther,
pale and fearful. by his side, waving
.adfeu and Godspeed to Webb, who
had halted in saddle on reaching the
opposite bank and was watching his
little column through the ford three
stanch troops, each about 60 strong,
reinforced by about half a dozen Of
Rays men left behind in the forward
rush at dawn. but scorning disquali-
fication of any kind, now that danger
menaced their beloved captain and
their comrades of the sorrel troop.
In all the regiment no man was loved
by the rank and file as was Billy; Ray.
The veterans trusted and swore by,
the younger troopers looked up to
and well-nigh worshipped him, and
now, as the story that the Sioux had
probably surrounded the sorrel troop
went like wildfire through the garri-
son, even the sick in the hospital
begged to be allowed to go, and one
poor lad, frantic through fever and
enforced confinement, broke from the
hold Of the half-hearted attendant;
tore over to ''K'> troop barracks, de-
manding his ''kit' of Sergeant Schrei-
ber, and, finding the quarters desert
ed, the men all gone to stables, dared
to burst into that magnate's own
room in search of his arms and
clothing, and thereby reused heavi-
ly sleeping soldier, who damned him
savagely, until, through wild raving,
he gathered that some grave danger
menaced Capt. Ray. Even his befud-
died senses could fathom that! And
While the guards and nurses bore the
patient, shrieking and struggling,
back to the hospital, Kennedy soused
his hot head in the cooling waters of
their frontier lavatory, and was off
like a shot to the stables.
It was long before he found his
horse, for the guard had taken Kill
maine to '*F' troops stables, and
Kennedy had been housed by "K.''
twas longer still before he could per-
suade the guard that he "had right"
as he put it, to ride after the major.
Not until Capt. Dade had been con-
suited would they let him 60. Not,
indeed, until in person Kennedy had
pleaded his cause with that cool-head-
ed commander. Dade noted the
flushed and swollen face, but rea-
soned that nothing would more speed
lily shake the whisky from his system
that long gallop in that glorious
air and sunshine. "Maj. Webb is fol-
lowing the trail of Capt. Ray" said
he. ''You follow the majors. You

can't miss him, and there are no In
dians now to interpose. You should
catch him by noon-then give him
this IF #. + - -5 .#@
''This'' was a copy of late dis
patch just in from Laramie, saying
that the revolt had reached the Sioux
at the agencies and reservations on
the White Earth, and would demand
the attention of every man sat the
post. No reinforcement, therefore,
could be looked for from that quarter
until the general came. 1t was no
surprise to Dade. It could be none
to Webb, for old Red Cloud had ever
been an enemy, even when bribed and
petted and fed and coddled in his viii
lage on the Wakpa Schicha. His
nephew led the bolt afeld. No won
der the old war chief backed him with
abundant food, ammunition and eager
warriors sent from home''
" But it was still after II when Ken
nedy drove his still wearied horse
through the Platte and, far to the
north, saw the dun dust cloud that
told where Webb's little column was,
trotting hard to the support of the
sorrels. His head was aching and he
missed the morning draught of sol
dier coffee. He had eaten nothing
since his cold lunch at the majors,
and would have been wise had he
gone to Mistress McGann and begged
a cup of the fragrant Java with which
she had stimulated her docile master
ere he rode forth, but the one idea
uppermost in Kennedy's muddled
brain was that the sorrels were
trapped by the Sioux and every
trooper was needed to save them.
At three in the morning he felt equal
to fighting the whole Sioux nation,
with all its dozen tribes and dialects.
At $3.50 he had been whipped to q
stand by just one Of their number,
and, Mother av Moses" one A that

Sore in soul and body was Kennedy.
and sore and stiff was his gallant
bay, Kilmaine, when these comrades
Of over three years service shook
the spray Of the Platte from their
legs and started doggedly northward
on the trail. Northward thew went
Tor full three miles, Kilmaine sulky
and protesting. The dust cloud was
only partially visible now, hidden by
the ridge a few miles ahead, when,
over that ridge, obably four miles
away to the right front, Kennedy saw
coming at speed a single rider, and

CHAPTER VIII.

But Frayne was far from done with
excitement for the day. For while
all eyes seemed centered on the chase,
now scattered miles toward the east,
and, save for two of the number left
behind, blown, spent and hopelessly
out of the race, soon lost to view
among the distant swales and ravines.
Then everyone turned to welcome the
coming harbinger, to congratulate
him on his escape, to demand the
reason for his daring essay. Gregg
and his men were first to reach him,
and while one of them was seen
through the leveled glass to dismount
and give the courier his fresh horse,
thereby showing that the gray was
well-nigh exhausted, the whole party
turned slowly toward the post. Then
one of their number suddenly darted
forth from the group and came spur

officers breathed more freely. "See
what a distance those beggars OF
Stabber's will have to ride" said the
veteran captain to the little group
about him. "They dare not cross the
ridge short of three miles out. It's
my belief they'll see Blake and never
cross at ALL" "a -s. ., ,...y ..~.
Then up rose sudden shout.
"There he isl" '"There he comes!''
"See!" "See!" and so hands pointed
eagerly northeastward where little
black dot had suddenly popped into
view out of some friendly, winding
watercourse, four miles still away, at
least count, and far to the right and
front of Blake's easternmost trooper.
Every glass was instantly brought
to bear upon the swiftly coming RI
der, Sandy's shrill young voice ring
ing out from the upper window. 'It
isn't one of papa's men. His horse is
a gray!" Who then could it be? and
what could it mean, this coming of a
strange courier from a direction so
far to the east of the Travelled road?
Another moment and up rose another
shout. ''Look!"-"There they are!''
"Sioux for certain!" And from be-
hind a little knob or knoll on the
meridian ridge three other black dots
had swept into view and were shoot
ing eastward down the gradual slope.
Another moment and they were swal-
lowed up behind still another low
divide, but in that moment they had
seen and been seen by the WESTERN
most of Blake's men, and now, one
after another, as the signals swept
from the left, the seven swerved.
Their line of direction had been west
of north. Now, riding like mad, they
veered to the northeast. and a grand
race was on between the hidden three
and the would-be rescuers-all head
ing for the low-rolling prairie where
the lone courier might next be ex-
