A half-doZen men were starting to

trail through the tangled underbrush.

where he could see better, and watch

AN UNAUTHORIZED BATTLE.
Story of How Morgan, of Revolution
airy Fame, Whipped a Teamster.

Not all orders to fight in time of
war come from headquarters. Many
4 blow is struck for ones country of
which no record finds its way to Off
cial reports. Such an engagement was
that cited by Col Crawford in his de-
scription of the Expedition Against
Sandusky." Crawfords company had
prepared to march to join Washing.
tons force, when proceedings were
stopped from lack of transportation.
Crawford happened to spy a civilian
teamster who had stopped to rest and
water his horses. In such an emer-
gency the colonel felt no hesitancy in
pressing the team into his service.
The owner, however, was in no
humor to submit to what he consid-
cred an oppressive act. Things looked
bad for him, for he was alone and in
the midst of strong men. He remained
for time silent and sullen; then he
observed that it was hard to be forced
into service against his will. He said
that the captain had taken advantage
of circumstances, and that he would
make a proposition.
Il will fight the captain or any
other man in your company. If 1 am
whipped l will go with you. If con-
quer you must let me off"
The challenge was accepted and the
man began to prepare. The colonel
was throwing off his coat, when tall
young man stepped up. He had re-
Gently joined the company, and was a
stranger to the other men. During
the controversy with the teamster he
had been leaning against tree in ap-
parent unconcern, but now he came
forward and insisted On taking Craw-
fords place.
You must let me fight that fell
low" he said. He will whip you. 1t
will never do to allow the company to
be beaten"
The young man gained his point,
but the men of the company looked
on rather obviously. He was slender
and pale, while the teamster was big
and bluff, muscular and hardened by
exposure, cool, defiant and confident.
But when the young man threw his
coat aside, he disclosed framework
of enormous bones and muscles, and
the spirits of the company rose.
The contest was short and decisive.
The teamster was completely van
pushed. The victor, Morgan, after
ward became the famous major gen.
eral of revolutionary renown.

TOO MUCH FOR TIE CHEF.
Indian Could Not Stand the Firing of
Mules at Him.

The Indian, solid as he looks, pos
sesses a sense Of humOr which some
times displays itself at unexpected
times. Rev. Egerton R. Young gives
an example of this in Stories from
Indian Wigwams. The tale was told
to the author by Gen. Custer himself
only short time before Gen Custer
was killed.
Custer. following a band OF hostile
Indians, drove them up to region
OF mountains and ravines. At one
time he made an al-night march, and
in the morning came upon a group of
unsuspecting red men. The enemy
was taken completely off guard, and
without attempting to fight, fed dis
appearing in the valley, and leaving
Custer with little hopes Of capturing
any of them.
The general was at the top Of
steep bluff, below which the Indians
had retreated. The company had
with them a small howitzer, carried
on the back of a large mule Custer
ordered that this gun should be load
ed while still on the animal, and fred
down the side Of the bluff, where the
greatest number of the enemy had
disappeared For some reason or
other the mule was dislodged by the
conclusion, lost its footing and went
crashing down the bluff into the un-
dergrowth far below
Meanwhile, troops had descended
the other side of the blutf and were
searching the woods beneath After
a time they came back with a large
number of Indians and one chief,
known to be very warlike and cum
ming. Custer expressed his surprise
to this chief, and asked him how he
came to be captured.
General" said the red man. Il am
not afraid to fight men armed with
bows and arrows, or with spears and
tomahawks; and I love the battle
with your soldiers armed with guns.
You know ! have not often been beat
en-. | have heard the roar of big guns
and have not been afraid But, gen
eral," here came bit Of a twinkle in
his eye, when you fired a whole mule
at me, I said, 1t is time to surren-
der!'"
He and his men had been hiding in
the underbrush at just the spot where
the howitZer and the mule crashed
through.

1t was rifles next, and the ''winging"
of Big Jim, however it may have in
spired caution, also developed fresh
luminosity in the hearts of his fol-
lowers, and brought forth evidences of
discipline in their approach Peering
across the sheltering dump pile, the
besieged were able to perceive the
dark figures cautiously advancing
through the protecting brush; they
sped out widely until their two tanks
were close in against the wall of rock,
and then the deadly rifles began to
spit spitefully, the balls casting up
the soft dirt in clouds or fiattening
against the stones. The two men
crouched lower, hugging their pile Of
Stag, unable to perceive even stray
assailant within range of their ready
revolvers.
This whole blame country is full
of discharged sojers," he growled, an
they know their biz all right | reck-

cooped. Say, Bob, tibet lad crawling
yonder ought to be in reach, an it's
our bounden duty not to let the boys
sit too gay"
Hampton tried the shot suggested,
elevating considerable to overcome dis
lance There was a yell and a swift
skurrying backward which caused Ma
son to laugh, although neither knew
whether this result arose from fright
or wound.

"Why?'

bound to think of it pretty blame soon,
an then, Bob, l reckon you an | viii

Hampton's eyes hardened God,
how he desired to live just then, to
uncover that fleeing Murphy and
wiring from him the whole truth which
had been eluding him all these years!

There was a minute of hesitancy
while the men below conferred. the
marshal looking contemptuously down
upon them. his revolver cleaning ON
inously in the light.
"Oh, come on, Buck, show a little
boss sense" the leader sang out.
We've got every Teller ID camp along

the two O. ye to hold out against that
sort Of an outfit"
Mason smiled and patted the barrel
Of his Colt
"Oh, go to blazes! When | want
any advice, Jimmie, I'll send fer ye."
Some one fired, the ball digging up
the soft earth at the marshaTs feet,
and flinging it in binding cloud into
Hampton's eyes. Mason's answer
was sudden fusilade, which sent the
crowd flying helter-skelter into the I'M
derbrush. One among them stagger-
ed and half fell, yet succeeded in
dragging himself out of sight.

Then YOU do not love me?"

She paused, afraid Of the impulse
that swept her on. Perhaps" the
low voice scarcely audible, Il may
love you too well"
You mean there is something
some person, perhaps standing be-
tween?"
She looked frankly at him. Il do
mean just that l am not heartless,
and sincerely wish we had never
met; but this must be the end
The end? And with no explana-
tion?"
There is no other way" He could
perceive tears in her eyes, although
she spoke bravely. Nor can 1 ex-
plain, for all is not clear to me. But
this l know, there is barrier between
us insurmountable; not even the pow
er of love can overcome it; and l
appeal to you to ask me no more"
1t was impossible for him to doubt
her sober earnestness, or the depth
of her feelings; the full truth in her
words was pictured upon her face,
and in the pathetic appeal of her eye
She extended both hands.
You will forgive me? Truly, this
barrier has not been raised by me-"
He bowed low, until his lips pressed
the white fingers, but before he could
master himself to utter a word in re-
ply, a distant voice called his name.
and both glanced hastily around.
That cry came from the valley"
he said Il left my horse tied there.
| will go and learn what it means"
She followed him part Of the way
through the labyrinth OF underbrush,
hardly knowing why she did SO. He
stood alone upon the summit OF the
nigh bluff whence he could look
across the stream. Miss Spencer stood
below waving her parasol frantically
and even as he gazed at her. his ears
caught the sound Of heavy firing down
the valley.

hardly know how 1 stand in your
sight?"
Il do not at all understand" she
faltered. Truly, Lieut.. Brant, l do
not. l feel that Mr. Hampton would
not say that without a good and suf-
ficient reason. He is not a man to
be swayed by prejudice; yet, what
ever the reason may be, l know moth
ing about it,
But you do not answer my last
query"
Perhaps l did not hear it."
1T was: How do I stand in your
sight? That is of far more impor-
lance to me now than any unauthor-
lied command from Mr.. Hampton"
She glanced up into his serious face
shyly, with little dimple Of returning
laughter. Indeed but perhaps he
might not care to have me say. How
ever, as | once informed you that you
were very far from being my ideal,
possibly it may be my duty to qualify
that harsh statement somewhat"
by confessing that l am your
ideal?"
oh, indeed, no. We never realize
our ideals, you know, or else they
would entirely cease to be ideals My
confession is limited to a mere admis-
sion that l now consider you a very
pleasant young gentleman"
You offer me a stone when l cry

CHAPTER XXI.

"She Loves Me; She Loves Me Not"
1t was no claim of military duty
which compelled Brant to relinquish
Miss Spencer so promptly at the no.
tel door, but rather a desire to escape
her ceaseless chatter and gain retire
ment where he could reflect in quiet
over the revelations Of Hampton In
this quest he rode slowly up the val
ley of the Bear Water, through the
bright sunshine, the rare beauty OF
the scene scarcely leaving the slight
est impress on his mind, SO busy was
it, and so preoccupied. He no longer
had any doubt that Hampton had util-
lied his advantageous position, as we'll
as his remarkable powers of pleasing.
to enSnare the susceptible heart of
this young, contiding girl While the
man had advanced no direct claim, he
had said enough to make perfectly
clear the close intimacy OF their re-
lation and the existence of a definite
understanding between them. With
this recognized as fact, was he JUS
tilted in endeavoring to win Nadia Gill
lis for himself? That the girl would
find continued happiness with such
man as Hampton he did not for mo-
ment believe possible; that she had
been deliberately deceived regarding
his true character he felt no doubt.
That the girl was morally so far
above him as to make his very touch
a PROCLAMATION, and at the unbidden
thought of it, the soldier vowed to op-
pose such an unholy contamination.
Nor did he, even then, utterly despair
of winning, for he recalled afrcsh the
intimacy Of their few past meetings,
his face frightened in memory OF this
and that brief word or shy glance.

With the noiseless step of plains

rinths of bush, only to halt petrified
upon the very edge of that inner bar
rier. No Pigment of Imagination, but
the glowing reality of flesh and blood,
awaited him. She had neither seen
nor heard his approach, and he stop
ped in perplexity. He had framed a
dozen speeches for her ears, yet now
he could do no more than staAd and
gaze, his heart in his eyes. And it
was a vision to enchain, to hold lips
speechless. She was seated with un-
studied grace on the edge of the bank,
