A MARCH THROUGH COLD WATER.

A MARCH THROUGH COLD WATER. N the 9th day of February,
 1779, Colonel George Rogers
 W Clark led an army across the
 Kaskaskia river and camped. Whis was the first step in his march toward the Wabash An armyl Do not smile. Fewer than 200 men, it is true answered the roll call when Father Gibauit lifted the cross and blessed khem-

The Enterprise was one that called for all That manhood, could endure, but not more With the genius of born lead kf he measured bis task by bis means. He knew his own courage and ford- Eude and understood the best capacity hf his men He had genius that is he possessed the secret of extracting from IR1imself and from his followers the last lrefnement of devotion to purpose. Ehere was a certainty, from first to Mast, that effort would not flag at any Inoint short of the topmost possible Sstrain.
 The march before them lay over a Insignificant plain, mostly prairie, rich hs the delta of the Nile, but extremely la1ificult to traverse. The distance, as Hhe route led, was about ITO miles. On ihccount of an open and rainy winter all the basins and flat lands were in- mndated, often presenting leagues of TWater ranging fin depth from a few 2nches to three or four feet. Colonel Clark understood perfectly the stra- Eegic importance of Vincennes as post commanding the Wabash and as base of communication with the many. Indian tribes north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi Francis Vigo llnay his name never fadeD had brought him a comprehensive and ac- gurate report of Hamilton's strength and the condition of the fort and gar rison.

came in. He nugged the gaunt lieu tenant with genuine fervor of joy, while Oncle Jazon ran around them making series of grotesque capers. The whole command, hearing Oncle JaSon's patriotic words, set up wild shouting on the spur of a general inn pression that Beverley came as mes- senger bearing glorious news from Washington's army in the east.
 It was great reliaf to Clark when he found out that his favorite neuten- ant had not broken his parole, but had instead boldly resurrendered himself, declaring the obligation no longer bind ing and notifying Hamilton of his in. tention to go away with the purpose of returning and destroying him and his command. Clark laughed heartily when this explanation brought out Beverley's tender interest in Alice, but he sympathized cordially, for he him. self knew what love is.
 Although Beverley was half starved and still suffering from the kicks and blows given him by Long Hair and his warriors, his exhausting run on the trail of Clark and his band had not worked him serious harm All of the officers and men did their utmost to serve him. He was feasted without stint and furnished with everything that the scant supply of clothing on the pack horses could afford for his com fort. He promptly asked for an as- signment to duty in his company and took his place with such high enthusi- asm that his companions regarded him with admiring wonder. None of them save Clark and Oncle Jazon suspected that love for fair haired girl wonder in Vincennes was the secret of his amazing zeal and intrepidity.
 Tn one respect Clark's expedition was sadly lacking in it's equipment for the march. It had absolutely no means of transporting adequate supplies. The pack horses were not able to carry more than little extra ammunition, few articles of clothing, some sim pie cooking utensils and such tools as were needed in improvising rafts and canoes. Consequently, although buf- falo and deer were sometimes plentiful, they furnished no lasting supply of meat, because it could not be trans ported, and as the army neared Vim cennes wild animals became scarce, 50 that the men began to suffer from hun ger when within but a few days of their journey.s end.
 Clark made almost superhuman eff forts in urging forward his chilled, wa ter cooked, footsore command.

The wind shifted northwestern y, taking on a searching chill. Each gust, indeed. seemed to .shoot wintry splinters into the very. marrow of the mems bones. The weaker ones began to show the approach of utter exhaus- ton just at the time when final squirt of unfinching power was needed True, they struggled heroically, but na- ture was nearing the inexora ble limit of endurance. Without food, which there was no prospect of getting, col lapse was sure to come.
 Standing nearly waist deep in freez- ing water and looking out upon the muddy, sealike flood that stretched far away to the channel of the Wabash and beyond, Clark turned to Beverley and said. spea akine low SD as not to

 "Ya-a-s, bout as sharp as yer wit Colonel Clark, an sharper n yer eyes, a long shot Ye don't know. me, do ye? Take ernother squint at me, an see f ye kin member a good lookin' manv'
 "You have somewhat the appearance of an old scamp of the name of Jazon that formerly loafed around with a worthless gun on his shoulder, and used to run from every Indian he saw down wonder in Kentucky" Clark held out his hand and added cordially:
 "How are you, Jazon, my old friend, and where upon earth have you come fromT' eta
 Oncle Jazon bounced upon the hand and gripped it in his own knotted fln- gers, gazing delightedly up into Clark's bronzed and laughing face.
 "Whered I come frum2 I come frum er'wheres. Fust time ever got lost in all my born days. I've been a trompin' round in the water seems like a week, crazy as pfzened rat, not a-knowfn' north fom south ner my big toe fom turnipl Who's got some tobackerT'
 Oncle Jazon's story, when presently he told it, interested Clark deeply He and Kenton had, with wise judg- Indian camp. Kenton striking out for Kentucky, while Oncle Jazon went to- ward Kaskaskfa.
 The informa ton that Beverley would be shot as soon as he was returned to Hamilton caused Colonel Clark serious worry of mind. Not only the fact that Beverley, who had been a charming friend and a most gallant officer, was now in such imminent danger, but the impression (given by Oncle Jazon's ac- count that he had broken his parole was deeply painful to the brave and scrupuIously honorable commander. Still friendship rose above regret, and Clark resolved to push his little col umn forward all the more rapidly, hoping to arrive in time to prevent the impending execution.
 Next morning the march was resum- ed at the break of dawn, but swollen stream caused some hours of delay, during which Beverley himself arrived from the rear, a haggard and weirdly unkempt apparition. He had been for three days following hard on the ar my's track, which he came to far west ward. Oncle Jazon saw him first in the distance, and his old but educated eyes made no mistake.
 "Yander's that youngster Beverley!" he exclaimed stEf if SiD't I'm 0 squaw''
 Nor did he barley further on the sub- ject, but set off at rickety trot to meet and assist the Jagged and excited young man.
 Clark had given Oncle Jazon his flask, which contained few gills of whisky. This was the first thing of fered to Beverley, who wisely took but 8 swallow. Oncle 1Jazon was SO elated he waved his cap on high and, unconsciously falling into French, yell ed in a piercing voice:
 'tVive Zhorzh Vasinton! Vive la banniere d'Alice Roussilbonr
 Seeing Beverley reminded him of Alice and the flag. As for Beverley, the sentiment braced him and the be- loved name brimmed his heart with sweetness.
 Clark went to meet them as they

 'sWel1, here amE' he cried, ap- preaching the fire by which Colonel Clark and some of his officers were cooking supper. "But ye can't guess in a mile O who am to save yer Hvers am lights"
 He danced a few stiff steps, which made the water gush out of his tat tered moecasins, then doffed his monde script cap and nodded his scalpless head in salutation to the commander.
 Clark looked inquiringly at him, while the old fellow grfmaced and rubbed his shrupken chin
