Man after man in the ranks of the
three cavalry companies at Fort Con-
chu used the words as he glanced to-
ward a trooper sitting alone on the
sunny side of the mcss-house, gazing
away over the undulating country 70
ward the Pecos Hills. Private James
Bligh-always called Jim except on
the muster-roi1s-had served Uncle
Sam for forty long years. No other
man could show such a record He
had enlisted at the age of %, and
his service had continued without
break.
Forty years, most of that time spent
in the frontier forts, had brought
stirring adventures and honorable
scars to the cavalryman- He had little
to say of himself, but the written rec
ords of his reg. ment had done him full
justice.
But the day had come at last when
it was Poor old JimI" Private
Bligh had become an old man. He
had not noticed this comrades had
not seen the signs-his officers had
not whispered it to each other. 1t
was only when a new colonel came to
the post and set about sprucing up the
regiment that the word went round
Jim was to be retired as too old for
active service. In such cases the
government provides a monthly
stipend-about enough to pay for ones
bread and butter-but it was felt by
all the men that it was like turning
a faithful old horse out to become the
victim of wolves. There was an ex-
amining board, with a report from the
regimental surgeon, and it was settled
that Jim should be mustered out of
service.

the hardships with the best of them?'
AYE, comrade, you did. If you
didn't know your age to day I'd deny
that you was over 4u.'
It's no use, sergeant. I'm So right
enough, and it's time l was turned
adrift- l did think to die in the service,
but they won't let me-"
The papers had gone to Washington
for final action, and while Private
Bligh waited for his discharge he was
excused from duty. 1t thus came
about that he rode over toward the
Pecos Hills one day by himself in

Private Jim reeled in the saddle and

was done in the little Mennonite

Representatives from the Mennon-

was aroused from his reverie by the

him to stand and listen. The shots
and yells came from the Utes, and
they would not be shooting and yelling

ant and the colonel's daughter had
ridden to the north, and perhaps into
an ambush. Fifteen seconds after the

There was a hot gallop for a mile,

wounded in the first volley, and the
trooper had only come up when the

Religious Rites Within the Jaw of a

With singularity due to their racial
habits and religious customs, the
Buddhists of India display many odd
fancies and queer conceits in their
style of architecture; and nowhere is
this more pronounced than in their
places of worship Among the many
strange forms of devotional structures
which are the result of their peculiar
taste, the rock-cut caves of these re-
1igieus enthusiasts are prominent for
uniQueness of design.
One of the most important of these
caves is that at Cuttack, which is CALI
ed the Tiger cave. One end of large,
mass of rock has been so carved as to-
represent the head of this fierce ami.

Pa, Worth Preserving.
There is continued protest over the
neglect of the little Mennonite church
on Main street, above Herman, Ger
mantown, one of the most interesting
of historic churches in the United
States.
Many interesting historic facts are
well known concerning the history of
the early Mennonites who came to
Germantown with Penn, but it does
not seem to be generally understood
what an important part the little band
of Mennonites in this church played in
establishing the religious liberty clause
not only in this state, but in every
state in the Union.
1t was after the struggle for inde-
pendence had ended that the Mennon-
