mixed escort, the general accpmpa- nied by Dade and an aide-de-camp, drove swiftly to the scene. Six miles away they found the dead pony. Seven miles away they encountered the second trooper, coming back. He had followed the trail of the four mule team as far as yonder point, he said, and there he was met by half a dozen shots from unseen foe, and so rode back out of range. But Dade threw his men forward as skrmish- CTS; found no living soul either at the point or on the banks of the rocky ford beyond; but, in the shal- lows, close to the shore, lay the body of the second outrider, shot and scalped. In clump of willows lay another body, that of pinto pony, hardly cold, while the soft, sandy shores were cut by dozens of hoof tracks-shoeless. The tracks of the mules and wagon lay straight away across the stream bed-up the oppo- site bank and out on the northward- sweeping bench beyond. Hays fa- nous four, and well-known wagon, contents and all, therefore, had been spirited away, not toward the haunts of the road agents in the mountains of the Medicine Bow, but to those of. the sovereign Sioux in the fastnesses' of the storied Big Horn.

CHAPTER XVI.

In the full of the September moon the war bands of the Sioux had de- fled agents and peace chiefs, commis- sioners and soldiers, and started their wild campaign in northern Wyoming. In the full of the October moon the Jig chief of the whites had swept the last vestige of their warriors from the plains, and followed their bloody trails into the heart of the mountains, all his cavalry and much of his foot force being needed for the work in hand. Not until November. therefore. when the ice bridge spanned the still reaches of the Platte, and the snow lay deep in the brakes of the coulees, did the fore most of the homeward-bound com mands come in view of old Fort Frayne. and meantime very remark able things had occurred, and it was to a very different, if only tempo rary, post commander that Sandy Ray reported them as sighted" :" Even brave old Dade had been sum- moned to the front, with all his men, and in their place had come from dis tant posts in Kansas other troops to occupy the vacant quarters and strive to feel at home in strange surround ings.
 A man of austere mold was the new maior-one of the old Covenanter rah tA hat a shouting hymn tunes, and to Christ mas and Thanksgiving chanting dole ful lays. He hailed, indeed, from old Puritan stock; had been a pillar in the village church in days before the great war. and emulated Stonexvall Jackson in his piety, if he did not in material prowess. Backed by To- cal, and by no means secular. infiu- ences he had risen in the course of the four years war from a junior lieutenancy to the grade of second in command of his far eastern regi- ment: had rendered faithful services in command of convalescent camps and the like. but developed none of that vain ambition which prompts the seeking of ''the bubble reputa- ton at the cannon's mouth. All he ever knew of southern men in antebeIium days was what he heard from the lips of inspired orators or read from the pens of very earnest anti-slayery editors. Through lack of opportunity he had met no south erner before the war. and carried his stanch. CaIvinistic prejudiees to such extent that he seemed to shrink from the closer contact even then. The war was holy. The hand of the Lord would surely smite the slave holding arch rebel. which was per haps why the COvenanter thought it work of supererogation to raise his own He finished as he began the war. with unalterabIe conviction that the southern president. his cabinet and all his leading officers should be hung and their lands cOnfseated to the sfate-or it's representatives He had been given a commission in the army when such things were not hard to g-t-zt the reorganization in -ss. had been stationed in a Ku KlHN district all one winter ard in a ssni- fzrium most Of the year that fol- lowed He thought the nation ou the hixhrosd sc hell when il failed to

1mpeach the president of high crimes and misdemeanors, and sent Han- cock to harmonize matters in Louis- jana. He was sure of it when the son of a southerner who had openly f1outed him, was sent to West Point. He retained these radical views even unto the twentieth anniversary of the great surrender; and. while de- voutly praying for forgiveness of his own sins, could never seem to for give those whose lot had been cast with the south. He was utterly non- plussed when told that the young off, ficer, languishing in hospital on his arrival, was the son of a distin- guished major general of the con federate army. and he planned for the father a most frigid greeting, until reminded that the former, ma jor general was now member of congress and of the committee on military affairs. Then it became his duty to overlook the past.
 The general had to leave for the front without seeing Mrs. Hay. More than ever was it necessary that he should. be afield, for this exploit showed that some of the Sioux, at least, had cut loose from the main body and had circled back toward the Platte--Stabber's people in all probability. So, sending Crabb and his little squad across the river to follow few miles, at least, the trail of the wagon and it's captors, and as- certain, if possible whither it had gone, he hurried back to Frayne; sent messengers by the Laramie road to speed the cavalry, and orders to the colonel to send two troops at once to rescue Hay and his niece; sent wires calling for Q few rein forcements, and was off on the way to Beecher, guarded by handful :. of sturdy 'doughboysp, in ,aamhn9- 1ances, before ever the body of the second victim was found.
 And then, little by little, it trans pired that this mysterious war party, venturing to the south bank of the Platte, did not exceed half a dozen braves. Crabb got back in 36 hours, with five exhausted men. They had followed the wheel tracks over the open prairie and into the foothills far to the northwest, em- boldened r. the evidence of there being but " ponies in the original bandit escort. But, by four in the afternoon, they got among the breaks and ravines and, first thing they knew, among the Indians, for zip came the bullets and down went two horses, and they had to dis mount and fight to stand off possi- ble swarms, and, though owning they had seen no Indians, they had proof of having felt them, and were war ranted in pushing no further. After dark they began their slow retreat and here they were.
 And for seven days that was the last heard, by the garrison, at least, of these most recent captives of the Sioux. Gentle and sympathetic wo- men, however. who called on Mrs. Hay, were prompt to note that though .unnerved, unstrung, dis tressed, she declared again and again her faith that the Indians would never really harm her hus-

CHAPTER XVII.

Events moved swiftly in the week that followed. Particulars of the ac- cident to Gen. Field, however, were slow in reaching Fort Frayne; and. to the feverish unrest and mental trouble of the son, was now added feverish anxiety on the fathers ac- count that so complicated the situa- ton as to give Dr. Waller grave cause for alarm. Then it was that, ignoring every thought of behavior on the part of the young officer toward the gem tie girl SO dear to them. not only Mrs. Blake and Mrs. Ray. but Mrs Dade herself insisted on being made use cf-insisted on being permitted to 20 to his bedside and there to minister as only women can, to the suffering and distressed. Waller thought it over and suecumbed- The lad was no longer deIirious. at least, and if he revealed anything of what was uppermost in his mind it would be a conscious and voluntary revels- ton There were some things he had said and that Waller alone had heard. the good old doctor wished were known to certain others of the garri- son. ard to no one more than Mrs Dzde: and so the prohibition against their visiting the wounded lsd vas withdrawn. and not only these. but other women. sympzthetiesily at trscted. were given the necessary su- thority.
 There was ether reason for this. From the commanding ozcsr of the supply camp st Rock Springs had come finally . letter that us< fall of

foreboding. Gen. Field, it said, was sorely injured and might not survive. If the department commander had only been at Omaha or Cheyenne, as the anxious father hastened to reach his son, the mishap would never have occurred. The general would gladly have seen to it that suitable transpor- tation from the railway to Frayne was afforded his old-time comrade. But, in his absence, Field shrank from appealing to anyone else. and, through the train conductor, wired ahead to Rock Creek for stout, four

prompt, stern measures might re. deem and restore, one who should be taught the error of his ways forthwith; only, the coming of the member of the military committee of the house of representatives might make the process embarrassing. There were other ways, therefore and however, in which this valuable information in the majors posses sion might be put to use, and of these was the major thinking, moro than of the condition of the wounded lad, physical or spiritual, as home ward through the gloaming he wend- ed his way.
 That night the major, calling at Capt. Dade's, was concerned to hear that Mrs. Dade was not at home. "Gone over to the hospital with Mrs. Blake and the doctor," was the ex- planation, and these gentle-hearted women, it seems, were striving to do something to rouse. the lad from tho slough of despond which had en- gulfed him. That night "Pink" Mar ble, Hays faithful bookkeeper and clerk for many year, a one-armed veteran of the civil war, c; ing, as was his invariable custom when the trader was absent, to leave the keys of the safe and desks with Mrs. Hay, was surprised to find her in a flood of tears, for which she declined all explanation; yet the sight of Pete, the half-breed, slouching away to- ward the stables as Marble closed the gate, more than suggested cause, for "Pink" had long disapproved of that young man. That night Cra- paud, the other stableman, had scan- dalized Jerry Sullivan, the barkeeper, and old McGann, Webb's Hibernian major domo, by interrupting their game of Old Sledge with demand for quart of whisky on top of all thats he ihad obviously and surrePN- tiously been drinking, and by further indulging in furious threats, in a sputtering mixture of Dakota French and French Dakota, when summarily kicl out. That night, late as 12 o'clo, X. Mrs. Ray, aroused by the in- fantile demands of the fourth of the olive branches, and further disturbed by the suspicious growlings and chal- lenge of old Tonto, Blake's veteran mastiff, peeped from the second story window and plainly saw two forms s- nf ho plr fence, and wondered what the sen- tries found about Blake's quarters to require so much attention. Then she became aware of a third form, rifle- bearing, and slowly pacing the curv- ing line of the bluff-the sentry, be- yond doubt. Who, then, were these others who had now totally disap- peared? She thought to speak of 1t to Mamie in the morning, and then thought not. There were reasons why nervous alarm of any kind were best averted then from Mrs. Blake. But there came reason speedily why Mrs. Ray could not forget 1t.
 And that night, later still, along toward four o'clock, the persistent clicking of the telegraph instrument at the adjutant's office caught the ear of the sentry, who in time stirred up the operator. and rush" mes sage was later thrust into the hand of Maj. Flint, demolishing a day-old castle in the air.

 mule team and wagon, with capable driver. The conductor assured him that such things were to be in readi- ness on his arrival. Team, wagon and driver certainly were on hand, but the team, looked rickety, so did the wagon, so did the driver, who had obviously been priming for the occa- sion. It was this rig or nothing, how ever, and in spite of a courteous re- monstrance from the two officers at the supply camp, who saw and con demned the "outfit," Gen. Field start ed on time and returned on an impro- vised trestle three hours later. The "outfit" had been tumbled over a ledge into a rocky bottom and with disastrous results to all concerned except the one who deserved it most the driver. The ways of Providence are indeed inscrutable.
 A surgeon had been sent from Fort Russell and his report was such that Waller would not let it go in full to his patient. They had carried the old soldier back to camp and such aid as could be given by the rude hands of untaught men was all he had for nearly 24 hours and his suffering had been great. Internal injuries, it was feared, had been sustained, and at his advanced age that was something almost fatal. No wonder Waller was worried. Then Flint took alarm at other troubles closer at hand. Up to this year he had been mercifully spared all personal conduct with our Indian wards, and when he was told by his sentries that twice in success sion night riders had been heard on the westward "bench," and pony tracks in abundance had been found at the upper ford-the site of Stab ber's village-and that others still were to be seen in the soft ground not far from Hays corral, the major was more than startled. At this stage of the proceedings, Sergt. Crabb, of the cavalry, was the most experienced Indian fighter left at the post. Crabb was sent for, and un- iinchingly gave his views. The Sioux had probably scattered before the sauadrons sent aftev them from the north; had fed into the hills. and. in small bands. probably. were now raid ing down toward the Platte, well knowing there were few soldiers left to defend Fort Frayne. and no cavalry were there to chase them
 -what brings them heree What do they hope to get or gain7' asked Flint.
 T do not know, sir answered Crabb. But this I do know, they are after something and expect to get It. If I might make SO bold. sir, I think the major ought to keep an eye on them blasted hslfbreeds at Hays" It set Flint to serious thinking
