to me and let this man wait outside till am ready to see him.
 And so it happened that dozen members of the garrison gathered, from the lips of a participant, stir ring particulars of spirited chase and fight that set soldiers to cheer ing and women and children to ex- travagant scenes of rejoicing before the official head of the garrison gave out the news. Kennedy had taken satisfaction for the commanders sights by telling the tidings broad cast to the crowd that quickly gath cred, and, in three minutes, the word was flying from lip to lip that the troops had run down Lame Wolf's main village after an all-day, all-night rush to head them off, and that with very small loss they had been able to capture many of the families and to scatter the warriors among the hills. In brief, while Henry, with the main body, had followed the trail of the fighting band, Webb had been de- tached, and, with two squadrons, had ridden hard after Shoshone guide, who led them by short cut through the range and enabled them to bounce on the village where were most of Lame Wolf's non-combatants, guard ed only by a small party of warriors, and, while Capts. Billings and Ray, with their troops, remained in charge of these captives, Webb, with Blake and the others, had pushed on in pursuit of certain braves who had scampered into the thick of the hills, carrying a few of the wounded and prisoners with them. Among those captured, were MT. Hay and Crapaud. Among those who had been spirited away was Nanette Flower. This seemed strange and unaccountabie.
 And yet Blake had found time to write to his winsome wife-to send her an important missive and most important bit of news. It was with these she came running in to Mrs. Ray before the latter had time to half read the long letter received from her soldier husband, and we take the facts in the order of their revelation.
 Think of it, Madie," she cried, Think of it! Gerald's first words, almost, are, Take good care of that pouch and contents and now pouch and contents are gone! Whoever dreamed that they would be of such consequence? He says the newspaper will explain"
 And presently the two bonny heads were bent over the big sheets of a dingy, grimy copy of Philadelphia daily, and there, on an inner page, heavily marked, appeared a strange item, and this Quaker City journal had been picked up in an ogallala camp. The item read as follows:
 AN UNNAMED SIOUX.
 The authorities of the Carlisle School and the police of Harrisburgh are hunt ing high and low for a young Indian known to the records of the Academy as Ralph Moreau. but borne on the pay rolls Of Buffalo Blll's Wild West aggre- gation as Eagle wing-a youth who Is credited with having given the renowned scout-shownan more trouble than all his braves. bronchos and busters thereof combined Beirg of superb physique and a daring h0rseman. Moreau had been for given many a peccadillO. and had fol- lowed the fortunes of the show two con- secutiye summers until Cody finally had to get rid Of him as an intolerable nui- sance.
 It seems that when a lad of IS. Eagle Wing had been sent to Carlisle. where he ran the Eamut of scrapes of every conceivable kind. He spoke English picked up about the agencies: had infiu- entlsl friends and. Ia some eiandestine way. received occssiOnal supplies If money that enabled him to take French leave when he felt like it. He was sent back from Carlisle to Dakota as ire claimsble. and after a year or two on his native heath. reappeared among the haunts of civilization as one Of Buffalo Bilrs warriors. BiIi discharged him at Cincinnati and. at the instance of the Indian bureau. he was again placed at Carlisle. only to repeat on a larger scale his earlier exploits and secure a second transfer to the plains where his oppor- tgnitles for devilrnent were limited. Then Cody was induced to tske him on again by profuse promises of good behavior. which were kept until Pennsylvania soil vas reached two weeks ago. when he broke loose again: zas seen in store clothes around w-ss Philadelphia for a fsu days. plentifuIiy supplied with money. and next he turned up fin the sfreets Of Carlisle. where he assaulted an attsche Of the school. whose life vss hereiv saved by the prompt efforts of other Indian students.
