later declared that he wished to talk
with Mrs. Hay and see Nanette. Was
ii possible that he knew anything of
what she knew-that between Hays
household and Stabber's village there
had been communication of some kind
that the first thing found in the In
dian pouch brought home by Capt.
Blake was a letter addressed in Nan
cite Flowers hand, and with it three
card photographs, two of them of UNI
mistakable Indians in civilized garb,
and two letters, addressed, like hers,
to Mr.. Ralph Moreau-one care of the
Rev. Jasper Strong, Valentine, Neb.,
the other to the general delivery,
| Omaha?
Yes, that pouch brought in by Capt.
Blake had contained matter too
weighty for one woman, wise as she
was, to keep to herself. Mrs. blake,
with her husbands full consent, had
summoned Mrs. Ray, soon after his
departure on the trail of Webb, and
told her of the strange discovery
They promptly decided there was
only one thing to do with the letter
hand or send it, unopened, to Miss
Flower. Then, as Blake had no time
to examine further, they decided tc
search the pouch. There might be
more letters in the same superscrip
ton.
| But there were not. The first one
they had already decided should &c
to Miss Flower. The others, they
thought, should be handed unopened
to the commanding officer. They
might contain important information
now that the Sioux were at war, anc
that Ralph Moreau had turned out
probably to be real parsonage. But
first they would consult Mrs. Dade
They had done so the very evening OF

reaching and rescuing the Dry Fork
the courier started. They might ex.
pect the good news during the after
noon of Thursday. Scouts and flank
ers reported finding "travois" and
pony tracks leading westward from
the scene of Rays fierce battle, in
dicating that the Indians had carried
their dead and wounded into the fast
nesses of the southern slopes of the
Big Horn, and that their punishment
had been heavy. Among the chiefs
killed or seriously wounded was this
new, vehement leader whom Capts.
Blake and Ray thought might be Red
Fox, who was so truculent at the
Black Hills conference the previous
year. Certain of the men, however,
who had seen Red Fox at that time
expressed doubts. Lieut.. Field, said
Webb, had seen him, and could prob
ably say.
Over this dispatch the general pom
dered gravely. "From what I know
of Red Fox" said he, 81 should think
him leader of the Sitting Bull type
"a shrewd, intriguing, mischief-mak-
ing fellow, a sort of Sioux walking
delegate, not battle leader, but &C.
cording to Blake and Ray this new
man is fighter"
Then Mrs. Dade came out and bore
the general off to breakfast, and dur
ing breakfast the chief was much pre-
occupied. Mrs. Dade and an aide-de-
camp chatted on social matters. The
general exchanged an occasional
word with his host and his hostess,
and finally surprised neither of them,
when breakfast was over and he had
consumed the last Of his glass of hot
water, by saying to his staff officer:

minutes, if possible. Well walk

HUcKABAcK CENTER PIECE.

this work, which may be carried out
with regulation embroidery silks, using
a rather heavy grade, or in the mer-
cerized linens so widely used at pres
ent. Where designs require shading,
the silks are best, as the various con-
secutive shades are procurable in these
goods. In other cases the linens an
swer perfectly.
A centerpiece design Is shown in
nishing the motif. 1t measures 16
inches in diameter, and can be duplicat-
ed at home with a handful of leaves,
paper and pencil. The space between
the inner and outer wavy lines is
darned, leaving the leaves plain. For
this, delicate shade Of green silk is
used. Embroider the two lines of satin
stitch in a slightly darker shade of
green. Satin stitch is succession of
stitches close together across the space
to be covered, either straight or di-
agonaily.
The edge Of the centerpiece is but
tonholed with still deeper green, and
between this buttonholing and the line
of satin stitch, scatter French knots
irregularly. These are made by coil
ing the silk about the needle two or
three times and inserting it at the point
where it comes up through the linen,
thus forming knots on the right side
Of the fabric.
Embroider the leaves in "long and
short" stitch all around, using green,
brown arb red shades, with a touch
of yellow here and there Outline the
veins and midrib in the shades pre-
dominating in each leaf, and endeavor

Pathetic Little Tale of Two Fond

with the sun shining in! How does
it look, Eben?"
Eben did not answer for a moment;
when he did his voice shook a bit.
'The stores never been the same
since you left, Marthy."
A faint little flush came into Mar
tha's withered cheek. Is wife ever
too old to be moved by her husbands
fattery?
For years Eben and Martha had
kept tiny notion store; then Martha
fell sick and was taken to the hos
pital. That was months ago. She
was out now, but she would never be
strong-never be partner in their
happy little trade again.

sight of the store" thought Martha
one forenoon. eff I take it real care
full can get down there; 'tisn't so
far. Ebenll scold, but he'll be tic1led
most to DEATH"
1t took long time for her to drag
herself downtown, but at last she
stood at the head of the little street
where the store was. All Of 4 sudden
she stopped. Ahead, on the pave
ment, stood Eben. A tray hung from
his neck on which were arranged a
few cards of collar studs, come papers
| of pins, and shoelaces. Two or three
holders were in his shaking old hand
and as he stood he called his wares
Martha clutched at the wall of the
| building. She looked over the wa,
at the little store. Its windows were
filled with fruit, and an Italian name
futtered on the awning. Then Martha
understood. The store had gone tt

limbs would take her.
"It will hurt him SO to have me
find out!' she thought and the tear.
trickled down her face.
Hes kept a secret from me, ant
I'll keep one from him." she said tt
herself. "He shan't know that
know"
That night when Eben came in
chilled and weary, Martha asked
cheerfully, the old question:
"How's business?'
"Better'n ever, Marthy!" answered
Eben.

SMILES IN THE RAIN.

This coward may smile
WAen there's sun all the while

When there's naught to annoy
He's stronger who smiles through his
pain.
And then when there's sun, when there's
= bird song and breeze,
When gloom's put to rout and discour-
agement fees,
What need has the world
OF the mouth corners curled
In the cheeriest smiles, when the fields
and trees
Are smiling so broadly that nobody sees
The wee bit of brightness you're giving
the while?
But days when It's rainy there's need
for your smile.
The weakling may smile
When there's brightness the while
It's better to smile when there's rain.
The gloomster may joy
When there's naught to annoy
He's brave who can laugh through his
pain.
When all the world is SO full of song
That birds sing and brooklets go warb-
ling along,
With hearts light as chaff
All the earth seems to laugh
The sunny day courage says not you
are strong.
Though hearty good cheer one could
never call wrong
But oh. when the day Is all haggard and
gray
And nature weeps gloomily, sobbing
away
Then laugh in the hope Of the sweet
afterwhile;
On days when it's rainy there's need
for your smile.

Dade had agreed with them that Nan

forthwith, and that, us Capt. Blake
had brought it in, the duty of return
ing the letter devolved upon his wife

consultation, little note was writ

Note and enclosure were sent first
thing next morning by the trusty
hand of Master Sanford Ray, himself,
and by him delivered in person to
Miss Flower, who met him at the
traders gate. She took it, he said
and smiled, and thanked him charm

coming out for her customary walk
at the hour of guard mounting, but
the next thing he knew she had
"scooted" indoors again.
And from that moment Miss Flower
had not been seen.
All this was Mrs. Dade revolving in
mind as she walked pityingly by the
side of the troubled woman, only
vaguely listening to her flow Of
words. They had thought to be ad-

had graver cares of her own before
the setting sun. Avoiding the posi-

now, and finding Mrs. Dade both 81

her niece's name, the traders wife
went straight homeward from the
hospital, and did not even see the

his faithful aide were out on the We

"Mr. Turner" said he, 81 admire
your Carthage so much that 1 want
to buy it. am told you want 500
guineas for it,"
"Yes," said Turner, sit was 500 gui-
meas, but to-day it's 600."
"Well," said Sir Robert, 81 did not
come prepared to give GOO, and must
think it over. AT the same time, it
seems to Inc that the change is an ex-
traortnnary piece of business on your
part"
"Do as you please" said Turner
'Do as you please"
After few days Sir Robert called
again upon the great painter. '"Mr.
Turner" he began, although !
thought it very extraordinary thing
for you to raise your price, shall be
proud to give you the 600 guineas."
"Ah" said Turner. ct was 600 gui-
meas, but to-day it's TOO"
Sir Robert grew angry, and Turner
laughed. 81 was only in fun" he said.
II don't intend to sell the picture ut
all. 1t shall be my winding-sheet."
For years he kept it in his cellar.
Then it was brought up and hung in
his gallery. where it remained as long
as he lived. When he died he left it
