the column, with an angry face, and
hushed the i'll sound by a sharp order.
"Another tune, you fool, or none at
all!'' he said, peremptorily. "The foul
fend himself must have assumed charge
of our march"
As the column marched away, the
groaning wagons one by one fell into line
behind it, until at last our own turn came,
and De Croix and I, each with a hand
upon the bridle-rein of Mademoiselle's
spirited horse, rode between the gate
posts out to where we had full view of
that stirring scene below.
1t was a fair, bright morning, with
hardly so much as a fleecy white cloud in
all the expanse of sky; glorious sunlight
was flashing its prismatic colors over a
lake surface barely ruffled by the faintest
breeze.

lance, vast in its wide, sweeping plains,
its boundless sea, its leagues of glistening
sand, and, bending over all, the deepest,

the circle of my view; yet scraps of border

The column had halted as our last
laggards cleared the gate; and for
moment we rested in silence upon the
side of the slope, while the long line
was being re-aranged for travel. The
Indians, in seemingly disorganized masses,
were already enveloping the head Of the
column with noisy clamor, and Wells was
having difficulty in holding his Miami
scouts to their proper position.
Wild and turbulent as was the scene,

hostility, and turned toward Made

eyes were full of suppressed merri-

in expectation of disaster.
1t could not have been far from nine O'Clock when
every preparation completed, and the echoing
buge called the aggards from their quarters into the
open parade. The officers, already mounted, rode
about quietly, assigning each driver and wagon to

about quietly, assigning each driver anC
position in the marching column, and
carefully mastering the troops The
many sick of the garrison were brought
forth from the barracks in their blankets,
and gently lifted to places beside the
women and children in the loaded
wagons; while the men fit for active duty
fell in promptly along the southern wall,
the right of their slender column resting
opposite the barred entrance l was
assigned to ride with the rear guard
beside the wagons, in company with the
few settlers and fifteen of the AIiamis
under command of Sergeant Jordan.
Captains Heald and Wells, the latter
with face blackened SO that at first glance
| scarcely recognized him, took position
at the head of the waiting column il
front of the closed gates, ald they sat
there on their horses, facing us, and
watching anXiously our rather slow for
nation.
John Kinzie Joined them, his features
grave and careworn, a long rifle in his
hands; while the ladies of the garrison,
plainly dressed for the long and hard
Journey, came forth from their several
quarters and were assisted to mount
the horses reserved for them. De
Croix accompanied Mademoselle, at
tired as for a gay pleasure ride in the
park, and gave her his gloved hand to
step from into the saddle, with all the
gallantry he might have shown queen.
l knew this was no boys play before us
now; and, crushing back my natural
difhdence, l spurred ny horse boldly
forward until we ranged up beside her,
even venturing to uncover in polite salute.
Never did | see her look fairer than
beneath the shade of the wide-brimmed
hat she had donned to keep the hot sun
from her clear cheeks; nor was there
the slightest vestige of last nights
terror lurking in the laughing eyes
that flashed me greeting.
II surely know of one sad heart amid
this gay company" she exclaimed,
"for while we rejoice at being once
more bound for civilization, Master
Wayland looks most truly mournful;

SPLENDID SERVICE.
Street Car Company Caring
For Thousands Without
Accident.

The splendid service the Louisville
Railway Company has rendered the
public this summer has occasioned
much favorable comment and praise
for the management. Every day thou
sands are carried to the parks and
nearby points penetrated by the in
terurban service and with but very
few accidents. This last has sprung
into great popularity and every Sum-
day the cars are crowded with people
who avail themselves of the opportu-
nifty of spending the day away from
the heat and dust of the city. New
cars are being constantly added to
the rolling stock and everything pos
sible done to meet the public require
ments. Thousands of dollars are be-
ing spent for extensions and improve
ments that give employment to large
forces of men, thus adding to the
material prosperity of the city. With
the best of feeling prevailing be-
tween the public. the employees and
the company, Louisville has railway
system of which her people may well
feel proud-one that is not surpassed
by any other city in the country.

KNIGHTS AND LADIES.
They Will Have Big Day
at the White City
July 81.

Tuesday evening at the rooms of
the Catholic Woman's Club on Walnut
street there was a well attended and
enthusiastic meeting of the recently
organized Advisory Board of the
Catholic Knights and Ladies of Amer
lea. The object of the meeting was
to complete the programme for the
annual celebration of the local
branches of the order, which takes
place at the White City on Wednes-
day, July 81. This Advisory Board
was formed to assist all branches in
this city and to take charge of the
entertainment of the State conven-
ton that meets here next year, and
therefore the proceeds realized from
this celebration will be set aside for
"A special expense and amusement
fund.
Though organized less than two
months the board has done much to-
ward bringing the branches closer to-
gether. Reports of the different COM
mittees were read at the meeting and
a number of short addresses relative
to the future work of the board were
made by Chairman Thomas ID. Claire,
Col. John Rudd, Thomas keenan,
and others. 1t was decided to hold
the next meeting on July 10 in Robin
sons Hall, Seventeenth and Main
streets, when definite action will be
taken on several questions now pend
ing before committees.

The regular monthly meeting of
the Federation of Catholic Societies

ENCOURAGING
Talks and Reports Enfhuse
Members OF Division
I, A. o. II.

The increased attendance when
President Clines opened the melting
of Division /, A. o. H., on Friday
night, togther with the encouraging
talks and reports, enthused the mem-
bers and showed interest that was
very gratifying. There were no sick
claims and Secretary Peter Cusick's
collections considerably increased
the snug sum in the division strong
box. Thomas Rodgers and Daniel l..
Cronin were elected to membership
and one application was received with
a number promised.
Charles F. Raidy, always an earnest
speaker, when introduced to deliver
an address, expressed himself always
ready to work for and serve the A..
o. H., but was at loss to tell those
present anything they did not already
know. The speaker then took up
the motto of the order, Friendship,
Unity and Christian Charity" and
made a most interesting and instruc-
tive talk that was frequently APP
plauded. He dwelt upon the prin-
served made the members better cit
NenS anu DeDlef CdUnOlCS.
State President Butler was called
upon and spoke encouragingly of the
rlogress the order was making in
Kentucky and congratulated Division
upon its good work. Speaking for
the Irish field day he said he never
before saw such interest taken and
success seems assured. The park Of
fers every advantages for large and
jolly outing and the field was being
put in splendid condition for the
athletic contests.
Tom Dolan, of the Games Commit
tee, reported that Division 4 had ac-
cepted the challenge for a tug of
war, and Tim Sullivan and Erward
Craddick, two of the heaviest men
in the order, were selected to head
the team that will represent Divis-
ion 1. 1t was also reported that en-
tries were being received for the
other events, which insures an inter
esting programme.

borrowed Irish ones. The spirit of
music was there, and the genius was
there, but today the mass of the peo-
pie have no music in their homes and
no knowledge of the science that
was once their common property. To
the thoughtful Irish striving for
national standard for their country,
it points a very great and a very
sad lesson. However there is no doubt
but that the tenacity and fidelity of
the Irish race to their own ideals
an eminently musical people-will be
asserted, and that it is only a ques-
ton of time when the harp of Ire
land will once more be the popular
musical instrument of Hibernia. The
great language and industrial move
ments of today are making rapid
strides in reviving all the praise
worthy customs of other days, and
the harp will soon replace the Eng
lish concertina and German melodeon.

changing purposes, pointing steadily
to the value of law, discipline and
order; proclaiming the beauty and
worth of self-sacrifice and service;
teaching the lessons of obedience and
humility. With it's strong arm it
gently but firmly restraints it's people
from following the dangerous paths
which lead to chaos and bids them
find their anchor for the present and
hope for the future in the quiet and
sanctity of the church's influence.
The Protestant as well as the Cath
Ole has reason to be gratified by
the evident growth and prosperity IF
the church as indicated by the cree
ton of st. Pauls noble Cathedral. As
for Archbishop John Ireland, we of
a somewhat different faith will not
consent to be non-participants in the
satisfaction which the contemplation
of such a character affords humanity.
We must insist that he belongs to
us also-is of us a part of the same
national family. He is a citizen, as
we are. In the nation, if not in the
church, we share the benefits of his
tolerant good will toward mankind,
the results of his devotion TO the
cause of humanity, the value of his
example, the bealthful influence of
his optimism and the inspiration of
his sound cousel. We who are not of
his church, yet within reach of its
benign influence, acknowledge the
power for good which he exerts and
his exalted and ennobling standard
of citizenship. We honor the great
rejoice in the success
of his efforts and join fervently in
the hope that he may long be spared
to carry forward the work of the
Master whom he yaliantly serves.

NARROW ESCAPE.

Peter j. Bowling, one of the officers
of the Kentucky Stove Company and
a gentleman prominent in local
Catholic society circles. who had a
narrow escape from serious injury
last week, is making nice progress
toward recovery. Last week at the
foundry works Mr.. Bowling was in
speeding a gasoline barrel that was
supposed to be empty, when there
was a terrific explosion. Fortunately
he was the only one near, and when
rescued 1t was found that his head
face and hands were painfully
burned. For awhile his friends were
greatly alarmed, and all will be glad
to know that he is again able to fl
the duties of his position.

RECENT DEATHS.

The funeral of Mrs. Mary Kierce,
who died of a complication of dis
eases Sunday afternoon at $3.50
O'Clock after a long illness, was held
Tuesday morning from st. Patrick's
church. Mrs. Kierce was the widow
of John Kierce. She is survived by
one son, John Kierce, Jr.

former resident of this city, but
twenty years ago went South with
the Gulf and Ship Island railroad.
The funeral took place Tuesday
morning from the church of St.
Frances of Rome, Rev. Father White
officiating at the solemn obsequies.
Miss Nellie Harlow, for years one
of the best known and most popular
school teachers-in the city, died Mon
day afternoon at her home, 1903
West Walnut street, after a long i'll
ness of nervous prostration. She was
the daughter of Stationkeeper Henry
Harlow and a sister of Miss Mary
Harlow, another we'll known teacher.
Miss Harlow was the possessor of
qualities that endeared her to friends
and pupils, who were deeply grieved
when they learned of her death. She
was Christian woman in all the
term implies, and the esteem in which
she was held was attested by the
large assemblage of mourning friends
at the requiem mass and funeral
services at st. Charles church, of
which she was a most exemplary
member.
