sheets of lambent flame, little cloud:
Of blush, binding smoke, and al
most in bss time than it takes to
tell it, low wall of fire, started in a
dozen places, reaching far across the
low ground, fencing the valley from
stream bed to the southwark slopes,
crowned by its swift-sailing crest of
hot, sitting fume, came tapping and
seething and sweeping across the
level, licking up the dry buffalo grass
like so much tow, mounting higher
and fiercer with every second, and
bearing down upon the little grove
and its almost helpless defenders in
fearful force, in resistless fury-a
charge no bullet could stop, an enemy
no human valor could hope to daunt
or down.
"Quick, men!" yelled Ray. "Out
with you, you on the west front!
Stay you here, you others! Watch
the Sioux! They'll be on us in an in
stant!" And away he sped from the
shelter of the bank, out from the
thick of the cottonwoods, out to the
open prairie, straight toward the
coming torrent of flame still, thank
God, full 700 yards away, but leap
ing toward them with awful strides.
Out with him rushed Field, and out
from Clayton's front sped half a
dozen old hands, every man fumbling
for his match box; out until they
reached line with their captain, al
ready sprawled upon the turf, and
there, full an hundred yards from
the grove, they spread in rude Skin
mish line and, reckless of the
mad chorus of yells that came sweep
ing down the wind, reckless of the
clamor of the coming charge, reckless
of the whistling lead that almost in
stantly began nipping and biting the
turf about them, here, there and
everywhere, they, too, had started lit
tie fires; they, too, had run their line
of flame across the windward front;
they, too, had launched wall of
fame sailing toward the grove, and
then, back, through binding smoke
they ran for their saddle blankets,
just as the sharp sputter of shots
burst forth on the northward side,
and the Sioux, with magnificent dash,
came laundering within range.

the Famous Soldter-LaWyer
to Stnndstil.

In case being tried at Salem,
Mass, Ben Butler was cross-examin-
ing woman who was an important
witness for the prosecution, and
whose evidence he was bound to
break down if possible, says the Phil
adelphia Ledger.
In reply as to how she knew this or

Guided the prisoner was guilty of the
crime"
Butler kept repeatedly nagging her
every time she answered question
by saying: ooh, yes, 1 see. You don't
know this as a fact, but only by
putting that and that together"
He finally got her worked up to a
furious rage and raising her muscular
arm she said pointing her finger at
the lawyer: "Nlr. Butler, see you
have pimple, or wart, on your under
lip, and l have another Gas you can

This effectually squelched Butler,

Then the entire grove seemed yelling
itself in drifting film of blue, the
whole charging circle to crown itself
with Il dun cloud of dust that swept
eastward over the prairie, driven by
the stiff, unhampcred breeze. The
welkin rang with savage yell, with
answering cheer, with the sputter and
crackle of rifle and revolver, the loud
below of Springfield, and then, still
yelping. the feathered riders veered
and circled, ever at magnificent speed.
each man for himself, apparently, yet
all guided and controlled by some un-
seen, yet acknowledged, power; and,
in five minutes, save where some hap
less pony lay quiyering and kicking
on the turf, the low ground close at
hand was swept clean of horse or
man. The wild attack had been made
i'll vain. The Sioux were scampering
back, convinced, but not discounted.
Some few of their number, borne
away stunned and bleeding, by COM
lade hand from underneath their
stricken chargers-some three or
four, perhaps, who had dared too
much-were closing their eyes on
the last fight of their savage lives.
To Ray and to many of his men it
was all an old story. Stabber would
never have counseled or permitted
attack on seasoned troopers, fighting
behind even improvised shelter.
Something, perhaps, had occurred to
blind his younger rival to the peril
OF such assault, and now, as three or
four little parties were seen slowly
drifting away toward the ridge, bur-
dened by some helpless form, other
couriers came laundering down at
Red Fox, and wild excitement pre-
vailed among the Elk Teeth. More
signals We're flashing. More Indians
came popping into view, their
feathered bonnets streaming in the
rising wind, and about the prairie
wave, where the savage general had
established field headquarters, fu-
lious conference was going on. Stab
Der had again interposed, and with
grim but hopeful eyes, Ray and his
fellows watched and noted. Every
lull in the fight was so much gain for
them.
Twelve fifty-two," said the dark
eyed commander, swinging his watch
into the pocket of his hunting shirt,
and sliding backward into the stream
bed. Gan serene so far. Watch things

man hurt. Two of the sorrels had
been hit by flying bullets and much
amazed and stung thereat, but neither
was crippled. Bidding their guards
to dig for water that might soon be
needed, Ray once more made his way
to the nocthward side and 1ejoined

l have read somewhere that the birds
"of fairyland are white as SNOWY. B.
Yeats.
Where all the trees bear golden flowers,
"a, And all the birds are white;
Where fairy-folk in dancing hours
Burn stars for candle-light;
Where every wind and leaf can talk.
But no man understand,
Save one whose child-feet CHANGED to
walk
Green paths Of fairyland:
u followed two swift silver wings:
I stalked a rowing song;
u startled shining, silent things;
wandered all day long.
But when it seemed the shadowy hours
Whispered of soft-foot night,
Il crept home to sweet common flowers.
Brown birds and candle-light.

CORPORATIONS and Tie Public Good

Corporations which unscrupulously manipu-

hear much these modern days from the court rec
