TR YING
HIM OUT
By c. B. LEWIS
Copyright. 1903, By T. G. Mcclure

He had finished with West Point and
been assigned to the Twenty second
young Warner. who was only boy
yet, with face as smooth as a girls.
The captain and first lieutenant of
Company were old West Pointers
and should have given the boy warm
welcome and stuck by him until he
could stand alone but instead Of that
they looked at him askance The cap
tain himself had son who had failed
to pass at the Point. and this had
ranked and imbittered him. and his
lieutenant had taken up his cause.
In the days agone when boy from
in the west he arrived one day to find
himself face to face with hostile In
dian force the next. He was given a
show. however. His captain or lieu
tenant kept an eye on him in his first
fight and coached him through it and
helped him to keep his nerve and his
honor. Sometimes the boy needed no
encouragement; sometimes he would
have lost his head and made a spec
tacle of himself but for the moral sup
port of the veterans. 1t is always an
open question as to how soldier, be
he officer or private, will conduct him
self when he faces death for the first
time on a battlefield.
Four days after Warmers arrival the
command took the field against the
hostiles. The boy was not yet ia
miliar with the faces of his brother Off
GERS. and he knew nothing of Indian
warfare except what he had read. He
depended on his seniors to see him
through. They had doomed him, how
ever. They had not plotted and plan
ned, but they had looked into each
others eyes and nodded their heads
The boy would be tried out' within
few days. but he would have to stand
or fail alone. He was full of enthu-
siasm as the command rode forth, hav-
ing no doubt of himself and being
eager for his baptism A soldier is not

The hostiles had gathered in force on
the banks of the Kaw. and one after

the barren plains to open a fight which
lasted for three hours. TO accomplish
results aimed at. the command had to

A too ready Offering of information
has often placed the informer in an
embarrassing position, like that of the
small boy who heard that the steplad-
der was missing. "Why, mamma" he
said, tits in the jam closet" ooh, yes,
I remember said his mother, and
then, looking sternly at him, 'sBut how
did you find it out?''
A similar experience befell Silas 81.
Of a small town in Maine. A student of
history, following the route of Arnold's
Quebec expedition, was asking for sug-
gestions as to it's probable course above
the ponds of Dead river. The villagers
disag greed on the matter.

bate waxed warm, "Arnold went right

a litter went round the circle of vii
layers at the well meant question, and
Silas, much embarrassed, sided away
'sYe see, mister" volunteered one of
his neighbors, "sixty three was the
year of the draft Silas always was
touchy to drafts, and when he felt this
one comm, as ye might say, he ske-
daddled.''

their own hook.
The Cub had been under the eye of
every man in Company A since the
first shot was fired, and it was admit
ted that he had kept his nerve as well
as could be expected. The privates
spoke in praise of him to each other
The captain and lieutenant looked at
each other and waited They had not
long to wait. A company was sent far
out on the right flank to move up and
open a hot fire, and then there was a
smile on the captains face. To order
that boy to push forward with fifteen
men against the hundred warriors con-
cealed in the willows was trying him
out" but it was also murder A whole
company could not have carried the po-
sition. His face paled for an instant,
but then the color came back, and he
shut his teeth hard and led the way.
'Confound him! Does he want us
wiped out to Inan?'' growIed an old
sergeant as he looked back over his
shoulder at the captain. But the Cub
hurried the little band forward to its
work. and five minutes later it was
hotly engaged.
Little by little Company A was moved
to the right, and by and by it was no
longer in support of Its skirmish line.

had been given no orders except to
advance and attack. He found the
enemy fen to one, but he would not fall
back. He realized that his little force
must be wiped out, but he encouraged
the men to creep nearer. The time
came when he saw himself unsupport-

I am forced to sign myself N. Nye'

ulous jokes on account of my name. I
will not write out that name, 'Nebuza-

One thing l am resolved upon-I shall
marry a girl with an ordinary name,
Mary or Elizabeth or Ann
His mother laughed teasingly.
''It will be just your fate to fall in
love with girl named Clytemnestra."
Don groaned dis1nally.
81 wouldn't go within ten miles Of
her, and if I'm lonely bachelor all
my life you will know it is because no
woman will marry me on account of

Holmes told me that her daughter had
charge of all that. She is just home
from college and is a very charming
girl. I'd like you to go with me to call
on them. They are likely to prove a
very desirable acquisition to the neigh
borhood."
81 hope the girls name isn't Clytem-
nestra,' growled DON
REALLY, Don, dear, I didn't question
her as to her name, but her mother
called her Happy

is very pretty name. Happy Holmes
that is a particularly pleasing COM
bination. I have no objection to call
ing on girl with SO attra ctive a
name."
During the long, bright summer Don
and his new neighbor were together
almost constantly. Happy's name was
admirably appropriate. The sunshine
in her heart seemed to shed it's bright
ness on all around her. She had a
sweet, frank nature and made no con-
cealment of her pleasure in Don's So
ciety. The hitherto unimpressionable
Don was soon deeply in love.
SIN thankful her name isn't Ciytem-
nestra. How mother would enjoy teas
ing me! There couldn't be a nicer
name than Happy, and more lovely
girl doesn't exist
Don's detestation of his own name
was deep seated and genuine. He had
a nervous dread that almost amounted
to horror whenever he thought of the
possible dislike that Happy might have
for it,
IF it weren't for that Internal name
I'd brace up and ask her to marry me.
But what girl would care to have Mrs.
Nebuzaradon Nye on her visiting
cards? Even if used the name Don
that would be almost as absurd"
One day he cautiously sounded Hap

you no name other than Happy ~ he
asked.

piled. 81 was named by my mother s

You should be thankful your aunt
had so pretty a name" he remarked
enyiously.
Don's eyes were fixed on brown
lock that curled against Happy's white
neck, and he failed to notice the pain
full flush that crept over her round
cheek.

altogether, but he was the only one Of

Indian lines for torture. It was with
something like fright In his eyes and
his face as white as dead mans that
he rejoined his company.

The Twenty second had not rested
thirty days after it's fight on the KaW
before White Bird had gathered his
warriors and come sweeping up the
valley again. The regiment must take
the field again. One morning as the
men were rushing to and fro while
making their preparations the Cub
rode away from the fort alone, and
rode straight down the valley at mad
gallop for seven miles and then drew
rein under the trees surrounding Il
