IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE !

puffed hard, as he begged for news. There was still another dispatch, however, which was evidently adding to the majors perturbation, for it concerned him personally and for the moment Wilkins went unheard.
 The general desires that you send the couriers back within A hours of their ar- rival. after you have had time to scout the line of the Platte say 20 miles each way, giving full report of every Indian seen or heard of He enjoins vigilance and hopes to keep the Sioux so busy that they can send no more in your di- rection. Should they do so. however. he will pursue at once. He trusts that you are doing everything possible to com- fort and reassure Mrs. Hay, and that you can send good news of Lieut.. Field.
 He is simply fretting his heart out here," were the doctors words to him but short time before, land, while unable to mount . horse, he is quite strong enough now to take the trip by ambulance, slowly, that is, to Rock Springs. I fear his father is failing. I fear Field will fail if not allowed to go. I recommend seven days leave, with permission to apply to Omaha for 30-he1l probably need it."
 T can't permit government teams and ambulances to be used for any such purpose" said the major, stout. ly. "It is distinctly against orders"
 "Then, sir, he can 90 in my spring wagon and we'll hire mules from Mrs. Hay" was the doctors prompt reply. He can do no good here, major. He may do much good there."
 But Flint was full of information
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-03-16

and official zeal. The matter of Fields going had been preached be- fore, and, when told of it, the Wilkins pair had been prompt with their pro- tests. "Of course he'd be wantin' to get away" said Wilkins, "wid all that money to account for, let alone these other things" The Irishman was hot against the young West Pointer, who had derided him. He doubtless be- lieved his own words. He never dreamed how sorely the lad now longed to see his father-how deep was his anxiety on his fathers ac- count-how filled with apprehension on his own, for that rifed desk had brought him reason for the most painful thought. Wilkins and Field had been antagonistic from the start, Neither could see good in the other. and, egged on by his worthy spouse's exhortations, the quartermaster had siezed the opportunity to fill the post commanders too receptive mind with all his own suspicions-and this at crucial time.
 T can't listen to it, Dr. Waller" said the major, sternly. Here's a matter of near s1,ooo that young man has got to answer for the moment he is well enough to stir. And if he can't account for it--you we'll know what my duty will demand"

"A MAN SPRANG PAST HER LIKE A
 PANTHER, DARTED DOWN THE " STEPS, FOLLOWED BY TWO SHOTS FROM HER SMITH & wESSON."
 Number 8, Flint's latest addition, de- clared that from his post at Hays corral he had distinctly heard the swift hoofbeats of brace of ponies darting up the level bench to the westward. Number had turned up safely, and declared that at the mo- ment the scream was heard he was round by the flagstaff, listening to the night chorus of pack of yelping coyotes, afar out to the northwest, and then he thought he heard scram- bling and running down at the foot of the bluff just as tffe shots were fired. Investigation on his part was what took him out of sight for the moment, and later investigation showed that one marauder. at least. had gone that way, for capeless greatcoat was found close down by the shore, where some fugitive had tossed it in his flight. This overcoat bore, half-erased from the soiled Inning. the name of Culligan. troop K" but Culligan had served out his time and taken the discharge year before. The other overcoat was even elder, an infantry coat, with shorter cape, bearing a company number A." but no name. Both garments savored strongly of the stable.
 Then, before quiet was restored. certain search was made about the quarters. It was found the intruders had obtained admission through the basement door at the back.
 But what had they taken? The sil- yer was upstairs, intact. under Mrs. Blake's bed; so was the little safe In which was kept her jewelry and their valuable papers. Books, bric-a- brac-eyerything downstairs seemed unmolested. No item was missing from its accustomed place. Mrs. Blake thought perhaps the intruders had not entered her room at all In GeraId's den were 'stacks," as he said, of relies, souvenirs, trophies of chase and war. but no one thing of the intrinsic value of $50. What could have been the object of their mid night sesrch7 was the question all Fort Frayne was asking as people dispersed and went home-the doctor intimating it was high time that Mrs. Blake was permitted to seek repose. Not until he had practically cleared the house of all but her most inti- mate friends. Mrs. Dzde and Mrs Ray. would Waller permit himself 10 ask a question that had been upper most in his mind ever since he heard her story.

Another soldiers overcoat was later found at the rear fence, but no boots. shoes or tracks thereof, yet both of these men, judging from the sound, had been in stocking feet, or possibly rubbers, or perhaps-but that last suspicion she kept to herself, for Mrs. Hay, too, was now among the arrivals in the house-full of sympa- thy and genuine distress.
