The house held merry family party.
They were assembled to celebrate the
birthday Of Grandmother Birch one Of
those delightful women who, tapping

In enviable health Of mind and body,
full Of energy and interest in every
thing about her. the vivaciOus old lady
was receiving the homage of a large
circle Of children and children In law,
grand children and grandchildren-in-

In the course Of the evening, while
games engrossed the younger ones, the
heroine of the occasion sat enthrOned

sons-in-law. These gentlemen, success
full in various callings. sharers also In

the family Of j. II. Moore, who was
at that time post trader there.
At the home of Mr.. Moore Miss
Wetherbee met Sherman Coolidge, a
full-blooded Arapahoe Indian. who
was then and still is conducting n
little Episcopal mission at the Sho-
shone reservation, few miles from
the fort.
1t was Il case OF love at first sight,
Of that sort OF love that laughs at
locks and keys and defes the whole
world
Coolidge called frequently at the
modest home of the post trader to see
Miss Wetherbee and openly and bold
ly paid court to her. Nor did she
discourage his suit, as most daughters
Of wealthy New York hotel men doubt
less would have done. Cantrarlwise,
she encouraged it. and when. not long
after the couple first met. he asked
her to become his wife, she promptly
and unhesitatingly consented.
The engagement was a brief one.
Arrangements were promptly made
for the nuptias. The young Indian
missionary and the daughter OF the
wealthy New Yorker presented them
selves before Rev. Mr.. Roberts, who
was conducting a little mission at the
Shoshone reservation, and requested
him to make them husband and wife
He declined to perform the marriage
ceremony. Nothing daunted, the low
ers thereupon set out by stage for
Casper, nearly POO miles distant from
the fort, resolved to have the knot
tied there. When Mr.. Roberts saw,
however, that they were determined to
carry out their purpose to become
husband and wife he relanted. called
them back and performed the cere-
mony at his home.
Since their marriage Mr.. and Mrs
Coolidge have lived happily together
and child has been born OF their
union-the papOose which the mother
carries strapped to her back as squaws
carry their infants.
Despite the fact that she Is the
daughter of wealthy and cultivat-
ed New York man. despite the fact
that she was reared amid the refine
ments OF civilization ana the Injuries
of wealth, despite the fact that she
was given all the educational and So
cial advantages that money and the
thoughtfulness of fond parents could
supply. Mrs. Coolidge has fallen into
many of the customs ana become adj
dicted to many of the habits of the
red people among whom she has lived

Once you wanted to play the big stake on a

now when Iyouv We good one?"
I'm thinking of certain strong card in the

Slavna be doing? Still drilling his men at Voseni

stafnitz looked him full in the face No"
he said, the Prince had better not still be drilling
his men at Volseni, waiting for his guns
Il think not, too, Stenovcs agreed, twisting his
cigar round again.
General do you think the Prince will let
Baroness Dobrava to Slavna without
him?"
Il don't know He might have confidence
enough in YOU he wouldn't wish to annoy agitate
the King. He might await his summons to
audience On the whole, | think he would submit
and rely being able to induce the King to alter
his mind when they met I'm not sure he wouldn't
advise her to go with you.
Well, yes confess that struck me too as rather
likely or at least possible
1t it happened, it wouldn't be convenient,
said Stenovics with patient sigh, because he
would come after her in day or two"
But if l were detained by urgent business in
Slavna-and we've agreed that there's work to
be done tomorrow in Slavna-another officer
would go to Praslok. The order, which have here,

me personally by word of mouth.

No, it directs the Baroness to accompany the

though taking him into the joke.
Well, well, suppose another officer goes to Pras

to the of that officer readily as to you?

having to consider rather startling proposal,

three silent and almost still the fourth

the next room; the words ndistingushable.
So passed full half hour-a strange and terrible

The door opened, and Stafnitz called Natcheff.

twenty minutes went by still in silence; but once
Markart, looking for moment at his mute
panion, saw tear rolling slowly down Lepages

Markart shrugged his shoulders heplessly. ST.

Again the door opened and Stafnitz called to

clasped on it in front of him. Stafnitz took up

Natchef had disappeared. Stenovcs spoke in
calm, deliberate tones; he seemed to have assumed

no need of Stafnitzs hooking little smile to point
the meaning. Markart was to be Lepage's 1ailer,

At last the General turned his eyes back to Stat

Captain Mistitch is restored to duty. He is of
