its soft, silvery light so that close
at hand, within the limits Of the gar
nson, every object could be almost
as distinctly seen as in broad day
light, but, farther away, over the low
lands and the river bottom and the
rolling prairie stretching to thenorth-
ern horizon, the cottonwoods along
: the stream or in the distant swales
made only black blotches against the
vague, colorless surface, and the bold
bluffs beyond the reservation limits
south Of the flashing waters, the
sharp, sawlil<e edge of the distant
mountain range that barred the way
to the west, even the cleancut out
lines of Eagle Butte, the landmark of
the northward prairie, visible for so
miles by day, were now all yelled in
some intangible filament that screen
ed them from the soldiers searching
gaze. Later in the season, on such
. night, their crests would CLEAN
with radiance almost intolera BILE, the
glistening sheen of their spotless
crown of snow. All over this broad
expanse of upland prairie and wood
ed river bed and boldly undulating
bluff line not so much as a spark of
fire peeped through the wing of night
to tell the presence of human way

even where the Sioux. had swarmed,
perhaps 200 strong, at sunset of the
day gone by.
1t was to Ray he promptly opened
his heart, as that veteran of a dozen
Indian campaigns, then drawing his
fourth "fogy," came fastening out to
join the commander.

"Missing!" cried Ray, in consterna-

''The arrest of those two young

tion-the Indian was struggling slow
~ to his feet, and then, for a few
seconds Kennedy scared away into
cloudland, knowing naught of what
was going on about him. When he
came to again, he heard a confused
murmur Of talk about him and grew
dimly aware that his late antagonist
was standing over him, painting still
and slightly swaying, and that an.
officer, young athlete, was saying
rebukeful words. Well he knew him,
as what trooper of the -th did not?
Lieut.. Beverly Field; but, seeing
the reopened eyes it was the Indian

uplifted hand he turned from the
rescuer to the rescued. ~

he was puzzled, for the mans face

he asked, at length, "and what on

Even in the moonlight the Irish
man saw the color fade from the
young officers face. The hand that
stayed him dropped nerveless. With.
utter CONSERVATION in his big blue
eyes, Field stood for a moment,
stunned and silent. Then the need of

dancing, card playing and social
