M solve the great question Of
" " food supply? I have often
thought over this question
and have come TO the conclusion that
here one OF the laws OF nature will
come into operation.
The excess Of the European popula-
ton will flow out of the continent in
the direction OF the least resistance
This least resistance is offered by the
colored races. and these. therefore. are
OF necessity doomed, first Of all to be
dislodged by the sons OF the white race
and then to be annihilated.
The feeling OF mutual responsibility
which is gradually being embraced by
all Europeans will not extend TO the
on-Europeans That uniformity OF
civilization which makes the peoples Of
Europe like TO one another. will not
subsist between these and the inhabi-
tants Of the remaining continents. The
application of force which IN Europe
will be prosrectless viii guarantee an
easy success beyond its bounds.
The European emigrant viii not re-
move out of the temperate zone. which
is the most beneficial and agreeable
to him, farther than may be abso-
lutely necessary.

North America and Australia. and the

CHAPTER w.
On the Naked plain.

It was 21S miles, as the crow flies,
between old Fort Bethune aud the
rock ford crossing the Bear Water,
every foot of that dreary, treeless
distance Indian-haunted, the favorite
skulking place and hunting ground OF
the restless Sioux. Winter and sum-
mer this wide expanse had to be sus-
piciously patroled by numerous mill
tary scouting parties. anxious to learn
more regarding the uncertain where
abouts of wasdering bands and the
purposes of malcontents.
One such company, composed Of q
dozen mounted infantrymen, accom-
panied by three Cree trailers, rode
slowly and YEARLY across the brown
exposed uplands down into the longer,
greener grass of the wide valley bot
tom. until they emerged upon barely
perceptible trail which wound away in
snake-like twistings. toward those
high. barren hills whose blue masses
were darldy silhouetted against the
western sky The animals moved
steadily forward, reluctant and weary.

the oily perspiration streaking their
busted sides. The tired men, half
blinded by the glare, lolled heavily in
their deep cavalry saddles, with en-.
crusted eyes staring modify ahead.
Riding alone. and slightly in ad-
vance of the main body. his mount a

''IIave-have you any water left?'
she asked at last, her lips parched and
burning as If from fever.
He shook the canteen dangling for
gotten at his side. There may be
few Drops he said, handing it to her,
although scarcely removing his fixed
gaze from off that dreary plain. I'VE
shall be obliged to make those trees
yonder; there ought to be water there
In plenty, and possibly we may strike
q trail"
There was nothing more said be-
tween them. Like two automatons,
they started off across the parched
grass the heat waves rising and fall
ing as they stumbled forward. Neither
realized until then how thoroughly
that hard climb up the rocks, the
strain of continued peril, and the long
abstinence from food had Slapped their
strength, yet to remain where they
were meant certain death; all hope
found its center amid those distant
reckoning trees.
No one can explain later how such
deeds are ever accomplished; how the
tortured soul controls physical weak
ness, and compels strained sinews to
perform the miracle of action when
all ambition has died. Hampton sure
ly must have both seen and known, for
he kept his direction, yet never after
wards did he regain any clear memory
of it.

pleasant-faced, stalWart young fellow,
with the trim figure of a trained ath-
lete, possessing square chin smooth
ly shaven, his intelligent blue eyes
half concealed beneath his hat brim,
which had been drawn low to shade
them from the glare, one hand press
ing upon his saddle holster as he
leaned over to rest. No insignia of
rank served to distinguish him from
those equally dusty fellows plodding
gloomily behind, but broad stripe of
yellow running down the seams of his
trousers, together with his high boots,
bespoke the cavalry service, while the
front of his battered campaign hat
bore the decorations of two crossed
sabers, with a gilded az prominent
between. His attire was completed by
a coarse blue shirt, unbottoned at the
throat, about which had been loosely
knotted a darker colored silk handker-
chief, and across the back of the sad
die was fastened uniform jacket, the
single shoulder strap revealed pre-
senting the plain yellow of a second
lieutenant.
Attaining to the summit OF a Slight
knoll. whence a somewhat wider vista
| lay outspread, he partially turned his
face toward the men struggling along
in the rear, while his hand swept
across the dreary scene.
IF that line of trees over yonaer
indicates the course OF the Bear Wa
ter Carson" he questioned quietly,
where are we expected to hit the trail
leading down TO the ford?"
The sergeant, thus addressed, a lit
tie stocky fellow wearing a closely
clipped gray moustache, spurred his
exhausted horse into a brief trot. and
drew up short by the officers side, his
heavy eyes scanning the vague dis
lance, even while his right hand was
uplifted in perfunctory salute.
There's no trail know about along
this bank, SIR" he replied respectfully.
but the big cottonwood with the dead
/ branch forking out at the top is the
ford guide"
They rode down in moody silence
+ into the next depression, and began
YEARLY climbing the long hill opposite,
+ apparently the last before coming di-
rectly down the banks Of the stream.
AS his barely moving horse topped the
uneven summit, the lieutenant sudden
ly drew IN his rein, and uttering an
+ exclamation of surprise, bent forward,
! staring intently down in his immedi-
ate front. For a single instant he ap-
peared TO doubt the evidence Of his
own eyes; then he swung hastily from
out the saddle, all WEAKNESS forgotten.
MY Cod" he cried, sharply, his
eyes suspiciously sweeping the bare
/ slope. There are two bodies lying
here-white people,"
They lay all doubled up in the coarse
grass, exactly as they had fallen, the

slender figure Of the girl clasped vice
like in his arms, with her tightly
/ closed eyes upturned toward the glar-
ing sun. Never once questioning but
that he was confronting the closing
scene Of . grewsome tragedy, the thor
oughly aroused lieutenant dropped

rough faces surrounding her, pausing
in her first survey to rest her glance
on the sympathetic countenance of the
young lieutenant, who held her half
reclining upon his arm.

She did exactly as he babe her,

fastened upon his face.

responded at last, her voice faint and

away, and finally rested upon another
