o'clock in the morning." which state
ment was true enough, however in
judicious it might be to bruit it.
Mild-mannered commanding officers
sometimes amaze their subordinates
by most unlocked for and unwelcome
eruptiveness of speech when they
feel that an unwarrantable liberty
has been taken. Webb did not take
fire. He turned icy.
THE Ouartcrmaster's safe can be
opened at any moment, Mr.. Field"
said he, the blue gray eyes glitter
ing, dangerously. Il presume your
funds are there"
ut was because the quartermaster
would not open it at any moment
that took them out and placed them
elsewhere" hotly answered Field, and
not until then did Webb remember
that there lad been quite a fiery talk,
followed by hyperborean estrange-
ment, between his two staff officers,
and now, as the only government safe
at the post was in the Office of the
quartermaster, and the only other
one was Bill Hays big phoenix at
the store, it dawned upon the major
that it was there Mr.. Field had
slowed his packages of currency-a
violation of orders pure and simple
and that was why he could not pro-
duce the money on the spot. Webb
reflected. If he let Ray start at dawn
and held Field back until the trader
was astir, it might be eight o'clock
/ before the youngster could set forth
BY that time Ray would be perhaps
dozen miles to the northward, and
with keen-eyed Indian scouts noting
the march of the troop and keeping
vigilant watch for possible stray
gle.'s, it might be sending the lad to
certain death, for Plodder had said in
so many words the Sioux about him
had declared for war, had butchered
three ranchmen on the Dry Fork
had fired on and driven in his herd
guards and wood choppers, and,
what started with Lame VOLTS big
band, would spread to Stabber's lit
tie one in less than no time, and
what spread to StabLer's would soon
reach a host of the Sioux. More
over, there was another reason. 1t
would give Field opportunity for fur
ther conference with-inmates of the
traders household, and the major had
his own grave reasons for seeking
to prevent that
Your written order will be suffi-
Gent, Mr.. Field said he. 'Send me
memorandum of the amounts and /
Will receipt at once, so that you can
so without further thought of them.
And now with a glance at the clock,
you have hardly half an hour in
which to get ready"

KEEP SWEET.

Don't be foolish, and get sour when things
= don't Just come your way
Don you be pampered baby and de-
clare, Now, 1 won't play!'
Just go grinning on and bear it;
Have You heartache? Millions share it,;
II you earn crown, you'll wear it
Keep sweet.
Don't go handing out your troubles to
your busy fellow men
II you whine around they'll try to keep
from meeting you again
Don't declare the worlds "agin" you,
Don't let pessimism win you,
Prove there's lots of good stuff in you
Keep sweet.
II your dearest hopes seem blighted and
despair looms into view,
Set your jaw and whisper grimly:
Though they're false. yet I'll be
true"
Never let your heart grow bitter;
With your ear to Hopes transmitter,
Hear Loves songbirds bravely twitter:
Keep sweet
Bless your heart, this worlds a good one
and will always help man.
Hate, misanthropy. and malice have no
place in Natures plan.
Help your brother there who's signing,
Keep his flag of courage flying;
Help him try-'twill keep you trying

Dean stanley ana Hi. Tea.

The late Mr.. Augustus Hare lived
and moved among distinguished peo-
pie all his life, and his voluminous
"reminiscences are full of delightful
anecdotes. Dean Stanley was one of
his cousins, and one of many stories
which Mr.. Hare told of him was as
follows:
Arthur" as the author spoke Of
him. was quite devoid of either
taste or smell. He was breakfasting
one morning with Jowett, who was
exactly the same. For. some reason
-ineNplicable under the circum-
stances-they were both inordinate-
ly fond of tea. On this particular
morning they had each drunk eight
cups when suddenly as Jowett rose
from the table, he said, "Good gra-
cious! L quite forgot to put the tea

added Mr.. Hare, the only things Stan

would welcome chance to go again
with Capt. Ray, and now the chance
had come, SO had the spoken order,
and. so far from receiving it with re-
joicing, it was more than apparent
that he heard it with something like
dismay.
But Webb was not the man to
either explain or defend an order,
even to junior for whom he cher
ished such regard. Field felt in
stinctively that it was not because
of wish expressed in the past he
was so suddenly hidden to take the
field. Rays senior subaltern, as he
has been said, was absent, being on
duty at West Point, but his junior
was on hand, and Ray really did not
need, and probably had not applied
for, the services of Mr.. Field. 1t was
all the majors doing, and all, rea-
soned he, because the major deemed
it best that for the time being his
young adjutant should be sent away
from the post. Impulse prompted
Field to ask wherein he had offended
or failed. Reflection taught him,
however, that he would be wise to
ask no questions. 1t might well be
that Webb knew more of what had
happened during the night than he.
Beverly Field, would care to have
mentioned.
'You can be ready, can you not?"
asked the major.
Il am ready now, SIR" was the
brief, firm reply, but the tone told
unerringly that the lad resented and
in heart rebelled at the detail. "To
fund, sir?"
81 do not care to have you trans
fer funds or-anything, Field. This
is but a temporary affair, one that
will take you away perhaps a fort
night"
Il prefer that it should be perma-
nent, sir,'' was the young officers
sudden interruption, and, though his
eyes were blazing, he spoke with eff
fort his face still white with mingled
sense of indignity and indignation.
Gently, Mr.. Field" said Webb, with
unruftied calm, even while uplifting
a hand in quiet warning. "We will
consider that, if need be, on your re-
turn. Meantime, if you desire, will

DR.. Talmage used to tell story
about an old presiding elder who had
a great fondness for tabasco sauce.
Not always able to get this on his
travels through his district, he car.
ried bottle of it with him. This he
always had placed on the table of
the hotel where he stayed.
One day an old rustic sat opposite
the venerable elder at dinner and
helped himself freely to the com
pound. He got big dose of tin
fact, it took some time for him to re-
cover from the effects. When he did
finally stop coughing long enough to
talk, he glared AT the elder and said:

CHAPTER ~.

Many time has it happened in
the old days of the old army that
the post adjutant has begged to be
allowed to go with some detachment
sent after Indians. Rarely has it
happened, however, that, without
any request from the detachment
commander or of his own, has the
post adjutant been ordered to 60
No one could say of Beverly Field
that he had not abundantly availed
himself of every opportunity for ac-
tive service in the past. During his
first two years with the regiment he
had spent more than half the time
in saddle and afield, scouting the
trails of war parties or marauding
bands, or watching over a peaceful
tribe when on the annual hunt
Twice he had been out with Ray,
which meant liberal education in
plainscraft and frontier duty. Twice

TOO WARM AT GREAT BEND
Harvest Hands Cannot Stand the
Work-Wages SIS Day.

Great Bend, Kas., July 9.-The farm
ers here are still experiencing consid-
cradle difficulty in obtaining their har-
vest hands. For the last few days
they have been offering from $3.50 to
$500 per day and have been unable tc
obtain men. About thirty, men arrived
here from points in the east last night
and were met at the depot by delega-
tions of farmers after men. ManS
men are playing out and returning to
town daily. They cannot stand the hot
sun.
The wheat was never in better shape
and the farmers would rather pay
more for the cutting than to have it
go to waste. The first barley to be
harvested in this county was last week
at Claflin. Mr.. Ingersoll had a patch
of -four and one-half acres which har-
vested better than seventy-five bushels
per acre. Wheat will be that much
better this year than heretofore in pro-
portion. Some wheat fields will give
over forty bushels to the acre. The
average yield here probably will be
twenty-five bushels. This will be much
better than last year.

OPPOSE MEAT LAW.
German Merchants Are Losing a Lot
of Trade.

Berlin, July 9-The German meat
law. which went into effect in april.
is having more serious consequence
commercially than anticipated. AS the
regulations require the inspection of
meats and lard to take place in bonded
warehouses before export and the in
spection fees are heavy the German
merchants complain that they are
placed at a great disadvantage. They
had hitherto supplied Austria and
Switzerland with American meats and
lard, sending directly from the bonded
meat law has been applied however
the Belgium and Dutch shippers are
getting all the Austrian and Swiss
trade and Germany rs losing the trans
it profits. The German shippers there
fore are calling loudly for the abolition
of the inspection requirements in the
case of export goods.

of farmers near Arlington are harvest
ing their wheat by moonlight. The
moon is full these nights and the nights
are as light as day. The scarcity of
harvest hands in this part of the coun-
try requires the work to be done in the
quickest possible time, as the wheat is
dead ripe Twenty binders and headers
within five miles of Arlington ran all
last night and will work every night
this week If there is no rain. The far
mers have banded together to help each
other and more work is done at night
than the day time. as the weather is
cool then.
