AMERICAN SOLDIERS BRAVE DEED

souri, mule chosen for the Job of cart
ridge carrier because of his prodigious
proportions and his unfiagging energy.
The mule was with the pack train
to the right and rear of the squadron,
winch was lying along the edge of a
wood with its face toward the enemy.
a Sioux warrior who was no sharp
shooter sent a bullet which might
have been aimed at the MONDAY sun.
Probably before 1t came to earth 1t
tore a fragment out of cloud,
but on its way to the ground 1t
creased" the mountaineering
mule, which instantly broke loose
and. maddened by pain and fright,
went tearing through the wood, knock
ing down a trooper who attempted to
stay its course, and then made
straight for the outlying masses Of
the enemy.
When the flying mule had reached
point about hundred yards dis
tant from where the feathered heads Of
the reds were showing, it stopped
short and forgetting it's pain began
On the back of that mule was the
ammunition upon which depended the
troopers salvation. In order to
reach the animal, any man brave
enough to make the attempt must
needs cross an open plain swept by
a thousand rifles.
Ran GantIet Of Death.
The officers consulted and a des-
perate plan for the recapture of the
mule was under discussion. Sudden
ly one of the enlisted men called at
tention to movement in the grass
far. over to the right. In a moment
the head of white man was seen.
1t was a trooper who was crawling
slowly toward the stampeded animal.
Word was passed swiftly down the
line and volley after volley was di.
rected at the Sioux to keep their at
tention away from the mule and from
the soldier who was making his way
toward ii. The trooper crawled on
and on. He was close to the saw
age line and discovery meant death.
He reached point within twenty-five
yards of the grazing animal, then
suddenly he stood up; bolted forward
and vaulted on to the mules back.
Digging his spurs deep into the ami
mails side, Sergeant Hanley, for he
was the trooper who dared the death
to save the ammunition, started the
animal back on run toward the
squadron. There was wild yelling
from a thousand red threats. Hun
dreds of rifles were emptied at the
mule and its dauntless rider.
Straight into the lines Hanley rode
unhurt. He had taken one chance
in thousand and had won out.
The army mule lived, but 1t did
not escape unscathed as did Hanley.
AS a man in the fight said afterwards:
"That mule came back with as much
lead in its hide as it had In its pack"
