A HOT CHALLENGE.
Colonel Frank Wolford and His FIRST
Kentucky Cavalry.

kentucky Cavalry.
In the essays of Eugene Newman or
public men and events good story Is
told Of Frank Wolford, who command
ed the First Kentucky cavalry OF the
Union army and who later was rep
resentative in congress from that
state.
It was said that the colonel OF the
First Kentucky had some novel COM
mands that he fired" at the boys, such
as "Huddle up, thar" Scatter out
thar" and Form a line Of fight" 1t Is
related that when some West Point
officers were sent out to investigate
the report on the efficiency Of certain
volunteer regiments Wolford's cavalry
fell under their scrutiny, and they crit
icized 1t very severely. Wolford heard
them patiently and then said:
See them two regiments over thar!
One Is a Michigander and the other an
Ohier squad. You have just passed
them as all right. Now, know moth
ing about your drills, your evolutions
and your maneouvers. My boys know
how to ride, how to shoot, how to figh,
and how to stand fire, and you take
them two regiments over thar I show.
ed you. Station them whar you please
on any ground, in town or country
in field or forest-and I will take my
regiment, and what we don't kill oi

That one which Is now acknowledged
to be Pelorous Jack never left the To-
cality where he lost his companions,
and he Is now protected by law as he
has always been by sentiment"
The most remarkable fact Of all Is
the reason for the passage Of the law,
which is that Pelorous Jack acts as a
most effective pilot escorting all kinds
of vessels in and out Of the French
Pass. Cook Strait, always keeping to
deep water.
For years he was believed to be a
beluga, or white whale, but recent
scientific investigation has shown that
he Is really dolphin. AS he is never
absent from his duties the proclama-
ton has been received with keen sat
isfaction throughout Australasia by
sailors who have to use the French
Pass.-London Express.

the discussion of ways and means, and
the setting of political pins which fol-
lowed there was little food for senti-
ment.
1t was three weeks and more after
Gov. Marstons call summoning the
assembly for an investigative session.
Kent had fought his way triumphant
ly through the special election to a
seat in the house, aide9 and abetted
manfully by Ormsby, Hildreth and the
entire Trans-Western influence and
vote. And now men were beginning
to say that without the tireless blows
of the keen-witted, sharp-tongued
young corporation lawyer, the junto
might still have reasserted itself.
But the house committee, Of which
Kent was the youngest member and
the chairman, had proved incorrupti-
BILE, and the day Of the CASTOR wolf
pack was over. Hendricks resigned,
to escape a worse thing; Meigs came
over to the majority with show Of
heartiness that made Kent doubly
watchful of him; heads fell to the
right and left, until at the last there
was left only one member OF the orig
inal cabal to reckon with: the judi
cial tool of the capitol ring.
Kent had hesitated when MacFar-
lanes name came up; and the judge
never knew that he owed his escape
from the inQuisitorial house commit
tee, and his permission to resign on
the plea of broken health, to young
woman whom he had never seen.
1t was Elinor Brentwood who was
his intercessor: and the occasion was
the last day of the third week OF the
extra session. Saturday afternoon
and a legislative recess when Kent
had borrowed Ormsby's auto-car. and
had driven Elinor an6 Penelope out
to Pentland place to look at house
he was thinking Of buying. For with
means to indulge it, Kent's CASTOR
bred mania for plunging in real estate
had returned upon him with all the
acuteness of a half-satisfied passion.
They had gone all over the house
and grounds with the caretaker, and
when there was nothing more to see,
Penelope had prevailed on the woman
to open the venetians in the music
room. There was grand piano ID

THE DOLPHIN AS A APILoT:-"Pelorous

which is protected by special act of

and one of them escaped into the sea.
