CHAPTER H.-Cosr1NuED.

That night the sentries had just
called off half past one when there
was some commotion at the guard
house. A courier had ridden in post
haste from the outlying station of
Fort Beechcr, far up under the lee
of the Big Horn range. The corporal
of the guard took charge of his reell-
ing horse, while the sergeant led the
messenger to the commanders quar-
tiers. The major awas already awake
and half dressed. Gail the adju-
dispatch, and the sergeant sped
away. In less than five minutes he
was back.
81 could get no answer to my
knock or ring, sir, SO 1 searched the
house. The adiutant isn't there."
For moment the major stood in
silence; then, briefly saying. "Call
Capt. Ray" turned again to the dim
ly-lighted hallway of his commodious
quarters, (the women thought it such
a shame there should be no lady of
the house" for the largest and finest
of the long line known as "Ofiiccrs'
Row,") while the sergeant of the
guard scurried away to the soldier
home of the senior cavalry captain
ON duty at the post. When the major
again came forth his field glasses
We're in his hand and he hurried down
the steps and out into the broad
sheen of the moonlight when he
caaght sight of the courier seated on
the horseback at the gate, YEARLY
leaning his head upon his gauntleted
hand. Webb stopped short:
Come right in here, my lad" he
cried, II want to speak with YOU"
and followed slowly by the soldier,
he catered his parlor, and whirled
an easy chair in front of the open
fireplace. "Sit right down there now,
and I'll be with you in minute"
he added; hustled into the rear room
and presently reappeared with de-
cantcr and glass; poured out stiff
tot of Monongahela; "A little water?"
he asked, us the troopers eye bright
ened gratefully. A little water was
added and off came the right hand
gauntlet. II drink the majors health
and long life to him." said the sol
der, gulping down the fluid without
SO much as a wink. Then, true to
his training, set down the glass and
stood strictly at attention.
you've had nothing TO eat since
yesterday morning, I'll be bound"
said Webb snow, I've got to see
some of my officers at once. You
make yourself at home here. You'll
find cold beef, bread, cheese, pickles,
milk, if you care for it, and pie right
there in the pantry. Take the lamp
in with you and help yourself. If you
want another nip, there's the decan-
rer. You've made splendid time. Did
you meet no Indians?"
Not one, sir, but l saw smokes at
sunset out toward Eagle Butte"
Your name-I see you belong to
Capt. Truscott's troop
"Kennedy, sir; and | thank the ma
jor."
Then viii leave you in charge
until you've had your FILL" said the
commander. 'Then go over to FL
Troops quarters and get bed Tell
anybody who comes I've gone to the
Tag staff" With that the major
stail:ed from the room, followed by
the irishiuan', adoring eyes. A
moment later he stood by the tall

what the boys term a "dog,iall.'

Ter on Tuesday. The Rich Hill team,
we understand, is the old Nevada
league team, bought up by some
Rich Hill citizens to take the conceit
out OF the Butler boys, but it seems
their plans miscarried, owing to the
Butler team playing ball.

Mrs. Black is In poor health, and it

The Rich Hill council has passed
the anti-spitting ordinance. A number
OF the best towns in Missouri have
already adopted such an ordinance
and it's workings are very satisfactory
wherever enforced. The TINES call
ed attention to this some time ago
and urged our city council to take
action, but 80 far we have nothing
from them. AS a sanitary measure
alone 1t lie worthy Of adoption, aside
from the cleanliness feature. An anti
splitting ordinance should be passed
by the Butler council and enforced
by the marshal.
The new rock crusher for Mt. Pleas.

a short time, said J. s. Pierce, mem
Der Of the board. Most Of the work
this fall on the roads will be done by
donation, said he, and we are CON-
PEELED on that account to wait on
the harvest and the convenience OF
the farmers. A threshing engine will
furnish power for the crusher, and
one or two parties have proffered to
donate their engines for four and Ave
days work. A number Of farmers
will donate their time, and as the
townships shy on cash, we expectto
put the roads in the best possible
condition We can with the means We
have.

SILK HATS SMASHED.

Amid q crowd of q hundred brokers, twelve silk hats were smashed on the stock exchange yesterday. But. only one was new. Eleven hats of last years block had been provided. and as their owners crushed them. they sang to the one who wore the hat of the latest style. Are there any more at home like you?" The rappirg of the chairman's gavel gave the drum effect to the chorus. but did not stop the fun.
 The new ten-dollar hat of the offend ing member was thrown into the air and was then trampled out of shane. Its owner. R. Clinton Miller. had Vio- lated laws of brokers dress.
 Fer many years it has been an un written law that no member shall wear q silk hat on the stock exchange trad ing floor. A week ago ago yesterday Mr. Miller offended. lie, perhaps. had an afternoon engagement on the half holiday. and thought that q high hat would look impressive. The other mem hcrs ot the board felt the afrunt, but aid nothing.
 II then was agreed quietly to punish MT Miller if the offenSe should he re- pcated, The tin went around to bring out some old high hats on Saturday. and should the oTcnse be repeated to give lesson which experience had taught so many other members on the floor
 As expected. Miller appeared again yesterday with high hat. It was of the neatest and latest style. As promptly many high hats of various shar-s and ages appeared around the trading room. And as soon as there was q inll ii. the tradins-anl there is more lull now than tfading-thr hrols CTS gathered around Mir.

it has reached q position of the first hi portance. The volume of business of this single coIpany in the first year was scarcely d million and q hal: to- day the I03 American companies have nine billions of insurance in force. and the money now in their hands from prs- miums amounts to two billions. Ten thousand policies. which used to be sought only by the very wealthy. hava become q necessity in comfortable mid dle class homes. and million dollar pol icieS are not unheard of. Two such have already been written by the Mu tual: one for George w. Vanderbilt of New York, who pays an annual premi- um of S35, 000: the other, for the late Frank H. Peavy Of Minneapolis, wei known as the Elevator King" The latter was paid about two years after it was taken out, Mir. Peavy dying ;n December, 1901; but in accordance with the conservatism which has made modern life insurance possible. as an extra precaution his policy had been re- insured by the Mutual to the extent of S1500 0G0 in twenty other companies That the Mutual was not seriously dis turbed by the payment of the $250,00O for which it stood individually respon- sible. to speak. can be understood from the fact that at the date of set tlement this company had on hand $20, GOO GOO in cash. while it's total as- sets were $35O, 0G0.
 in the exercises commemorative of it's siXtieth anniversary the proadened scope of life insurance is likely to re- ceive not less attention than it's big ness. As a science it has progressed wonderfully since IS43. When the New York Mutual started it wrote only straight" insurance for life. or for q period of years: now policies have been devised which enable man to hus- band his resources against the future in the easiest and most eflicaciouS way. and from mere form of protection II has been developed into great plan Of investment, directed by the most eX- pert financiers. while the protective ac-
 vantage has been in no way sacri-
 feed. Beginning in young manhood,
 the policy holder protects his family and makes his maximum savings at q
 time when his earnings are at thch
 highest without pledging himself io carry any heavy burden after middle age has been passed.
 And not only for families. but for es-
 tates and business interests life insur-
 ance has come to be used as d means of protection. It has become very common for two or more partners to 1 Insure their lives for the benefit of the
