TI1OU should know the delightful old
colonel, Henry Pastnor.
He would tell you, in his charac-
MVN1yAJ teristic way, some of his many
- strange and thrilling experiences in
the early days on those wild and
apparently boundless prairies that were his
home for so many years. He was an old
side partner of Kit Carson, colonel in the
United States army and a member of the staff
of General Custer during the great Indian
troubles after the Rebellion.
Once the colonel was hopelessly lost on the
prairie, and | am familiar enough with the
incident to relate it to you, though 1 fear my
secondhand version of it will rob it of much
of its charms.
He was in Northern Texas and was acting
the particular event referred to he was bear
ing dispatches across the lonely country from
one fort to another, was unaccompanied, and
was riding a borrowed horse, his own we'll
trained and faithful animal being stiff and
crippled from hard ride on the day preced,
ing his start on the present mission.
When it is understood that the colonel
was at that time only eighteen years of age.
it will be, plain that he was a remarkably
oraye and trustworthy young man to hold
the government service
his first experience on this trip was exas-
perating enough, but it was only preliminary
to the trouble that followed.
ic Hau just lorueu clear, bright stream.
which lay across the prairie like silver
thread on cloth of brown, when he ran liter
ally into the arms of a band of ambuscaded
Comanches.
These "duffers," as he called them robbed
him of his gun and ammunition. and finally
after keeping him prisoner several hours
bound him to his horse in cruel sport. and
torturing the animal by means of thorn he.
meath the saddle. sent him at full speed ont
of their camp with yells of savage delight
1t was then almost midnight and dark as
Egypt, for storm was approaching and the
sky was overcast.
The boy was unable to control the animal
in the least, his hands being tied, and he was
carried miles and miles over the prairie info
region with which he was totally unfa.
miliar
The stars, his usual "night-compass, were
obscured, and he was unable to Judge of
the direction he was going; so that at last
when the horse stopped exhausted and he
succeeded in hberating himself, he had no idea
of his whereabouts.
Then the rain fell and The tracks of his
horse were, of course, oblterated SO that anv
hope of returning to the trail by the way he
had come was vain.
1t was a pretty damp bed that he occupied
that night, to be sure; but the young scout
bore the hardship brayey and considered him
self lucky in escaping the Indians with a
whole skin

PRAYER E r

In my arms 1 took the child,
While i said her little prayer;
Sleepily she heard and smiled,
And forgot her troubles there,
And the darling said to me,
When she woke at peep Of day,
"S'eepey folks tan't say their payers,
'Tause they tan't see what TO say. {"

Maudie came to me last night,
just before she went to bed,
In her little gown of white,
And the sleepy darling said:

Q4ower dropped each drowsy lid);
won't you say for Jesus sake?'"
And the sleepy eyes were hid.
