And presently the two bonny heads
were bent over the big sheets Of a
dingy,> grimy copy of a Philadelphia
daily, and there, on an inner page,
heavily marked, appeared strange
item, and This Quaker City journal
had been picked up in an Ogallala
camp. The item read as follows:
AN UNTAMED SIOUX.
The authorities OF the Carlisle School
and the police Of Harrisburgh~ are hunt
Ing high and low for a young Indian
known to the records of the Academy
as Ralph Moreau, but borne on the pay
rolls of Buffalo Bills Wild West aggre-
CATION as Eagle Wing-a youth who is
credited with having given the renowned
scout-showlnan more trouble than all his
braves, bronchos and ''busters'' thereof
combined. Being of superb physique and.
a daring <horseman,> Moreau had been for
given many a peccadillo, and had fol-
lowed the fortunes of the show two con-
secutive summers until Cody finally had
to get rid of him as an intolerable nui-
sance.
1t seems that when a lad Of Is, Eagle
Wing had been: sent to Carlisle, where
he ran the gamut of scrapes Of every
conceivable kind. He spoke English
picked up about the agencies; had influ-
entail friends and, in some c,andestine
way, received occasional supplies Of
money that enabled him to take French
leave when he felt like 1t. He was sent
back from Carlisle to Dakota as ire

his native heath, reappeared among the
haunts of civilization as one of Buffalo
Bills warriors. Bill discharged him at
Cincinnati. and, at the instance of the
Indian bureau, he was again placed at
Carlisle, only to repeat on a larger scale
MS earlier exploits and secure second
transfer to the plains where his OppOr-
tunities for devilment were limited. Then
Cody was induced to take him on again
by profuse promises of good behavior,
which were kept until Pennsylvania soil
was reached two weeks ago, when he
broke loose again; was seen in store
clothes around West Philadelphia for a
few days, plentifully supplied with
money, and next he turned up in the
streets of Carlisle, where he assaulted
an attache of the school, whose life was
barely saved by the prompt efforts Of
other Indian students. Moreau escaped
to Harrisburgh which he proceeded to
night, and wound up the entertainment
by galloping away on the horse of a
prominent official, who had essayed to
escort him back to Carlisle. 1t is be-
lieVed that he is now in hiding some
where about the suburbs of West Phila-
delphia, and that an innate propensity
for devilment will speedily betray him
to the clutches of the law.
"A few moments after reading this
oddly interesting story the two
friends were in consultation with
Mrs. Dade, who, in turn, called in
DR.. Waller, just returning from the
hospital and not too satisfactory
visit to Mr.. Field. There had been a
slight change for the better in the
condition of Gen. Field that had en-
abled DR.. Lorain, of Fort Russell,
and local physician to arrange for
his speedy transfer to Cheyenne.

never yet had the veteran practition-
er permitted him to know that he
was practically prisoner as we'll as
a patient. Waller feared the result
on so high-strung a temperament,
and had made young Field believe
that, when strong and we'll enough
to attempt the journey, he should be
sent to Rock Springs. Indeed, DIR.
Waller had no intention of submit
ting to Maj. Flint's decision as final.
He had written personally to the
medical director of the department,
acquainting him with the facts, and,
meanwhile, had withdrawn himself
as far as possible, officially and So
cially, from the limited circle in
which moved his perturbed command
ing officer.
He was at distant point of the
garrison, therefore, and listening to
the excited and vehement comments
of the younger of the three women
upon this strange newspaper story,
and its possible connection with
matters at Frayne, at the moment
when a dramatic scene was being en-
acted over beyond the guard-house.
Kennedy was still the center of a
little group of eager listeners when
Pink Marble, factotum of the traders
store, came hurrying forth from the

Hay that while I cannot permit her
to visit the prisoner" he called aft
er the clerk, II will send the girl
over-under suitable guard"
To this Mr.. Marble merely
shrugged his shoulders and went on.
He fancied Flint no more than did
the relics of the original garrison.
A little later Flint personally gave
an order to the sergeant of the guard
and then came commotion.
First there were stifled sounds of
scufae from the interior of the
guard-house; then shrill, wrathful
screams; then woman's voice up
lifted in wild upbraidings in an un-
known tongue, at sound of which
Trooper Kennedy dropped his rein
and his jaw, stood staring one min
ute; then, with the exclamation:
Mother of God, but I know that
woman!" burst his way through the
