the four years war from Junior
ieutenancy to the grade Of second
in command Of his far easAern reRi-
ment; had rendered faithful services
in command Of cnnvalescent camps
and the like, but developed none Of
that vain ambition which prompts
the seeking Of the bubble reputa-
tions at the cannon's mouth. All
he ever knew Of southern men IN
antebellum days was what he heard
from the bps of inspired orators or
read from the pens Of very earnest
anti-slavery editors. Though lack
of opportunity he had met no south
erner before the war, and carried
his stanch, Calvinistic pre- ejddiees to
such extent thet he seemed to shrink
from the closer contact even then.
The war was holy. The hand of the
Lord would surely smite the slave.
holding arch rebel, which was per-
haps why the Covenanter thought it
work of supererogation to raise his
own. He finished as he began the
war, with unalterahle conviction that
the southern president, his cabinet
and all his leading officers should be
hung and their lands confscated to
the state-or its representatives.
He had been given commission in
the army when such things were not
hard to get-at the reorganization in
'66, had been stationed in Ku Klux
district all one winter and in sani-
tarium most of the year that fol-
lowed. He thought the nation on the
highroad to hell when it failed to
impeach the president of high crimes
and misdemeanors, and sent Han
cock to harmonic matters in Louis
lana. He was sure of it when the,
son of southerner who had openly
houted him, was sent to West Point,
He retained these radical views even
unto the twentieth anniversary of
the great surrender; and, while de-
voAtly praying for forgiveness of his
own sins, could never seem to for
give those whose lot had been cast
with the south. He was utterly non
plussed when told that the young Of
fcer, languishing in hospital on his
arrival, was the son of distin-
guished major general Of the CON
federate army, and he planned for
the father a most frigid greeting,
until reminded that the former ma.
jor general was now member Of
congress and Of the committee on;
military affairs. Then it became his
duty to overlook the past.
The general had to leave for the
front without seeing Mrs. Hay. More
than ever was it necessary that ho

CHAPTER XVI.

In the full of the September moon
the war bands of the Sioux had de-
fed agents and peace chiefs, commits
sioners and soldiers, and started their
wild campaign in northern Wyoming.
In the full of the October moon the
Zig chief of the whites had swept
the last vestige of their warriors
from the plains, and followed their
bloody trails into the heart of the
mountains, all his cavalry and much
of his foot force being needed for the
work in hand. Not until November.
therefore, when the ice bridge
spanned the still reaches of the
Platte, and the snow lay deep in the
brakes of the coulees, did the fore
most of the homewar1-bound COM
mands come in view of old Fort
Frayne, and meantime very remark
able things had occurred, and it was
to very different, if only tempo
rary, post commander that Sandy
Ray reported them az sighted" :"
Even brave old Dade had been sum-
moned to the front, with all his men,
and in their place had come from dis
tant posts in Kansas other troops to
occupy the vacant quarters and strivs
to feel at home in strange surrounds

A man of austere mold was the new
major-one of the old Covenanter
type, who would march to battle
shouting hymn tunes, and to Christ

Puritan stock; had been q pillar in
the village church in days before the
great war, and emulated Stonewal

Seven miles away they encountered
the second trooper, coming back. He
had followed the trail Of tie POUR

said, and there he was met by half Q
dozen shots from unseen foe, and so
rode back out of range. But Dade
threw his men forward as skrmish-
Z 4
ers; found no living soul either at
the point OF on the banks of the
rocky ford beyond; but, in the shall
lows, close to the shore, lay the body
of the second outrider, shot and
scalped. In clump of willows lay
another body, that of a pinto pony,
hardly cold, while the soft, sandy
shores were cut by dozens Of hoof
tracks-shoeless. The tracks of the
mules and wagon lay straight away
across the stream bed-up the oppo-
site bank and out on the northward-
sweeping bench beyond. Hays fa-.
nous four, and well-known wagon,
contents and all, therefore, had been
spirited away, not toward the haunts
of the road agents in the mountains
of the Medicine Bow, but to those of
the sovereign Sioux in the Businesses
of the storied Big Horn.

What the Sioux hoped he might do
was divide his force into four de-.

trail Then they could fall upon
them, one by one, and .slay them at
their leisure. Billings saw the game,
