Medicine creek the white soldiers were
building a fort. 1t was within the
Cheyenne territory and was another
insult to them. Black Wolf had seen
the men at work the previous fall.
During the winter work would have
been suspended, but now that spring
had come the white men would be busy
again, and again the white topped wag-
ons would roll across the plains.
Those wagons, as he knew, contain
ed -four, meat firearms, powder and
bullets, blankets. cooking utensils.
clothing and many other things needed
by his tribe. II he could run Off FIVE or
six of them, with perhaps half hun
dred mules and horses. the wealth Of
the tribe would be restored twice over.
The feat would be daring one, and
one to challenge admiration and bring
about alliances. Walk by-N Night would
no, longer cover his face and talk of
peace. but his voice would be for wsr
and his face painted to strike terror to
the hearts Of his enemies.
IL was golden opportunity for Black
Won. He had less than fifty warriors
In his band. but all were enthusiastic
and sure of success. 1t was ride OK
seventy-five miles from the camp to
the bluffs where the fort was building
but this was less than two DAYS ride
even on the half starved ponies. The
medicine man made his medicine and
pronounced It good, and away rode the
yoang men. The soldiers were busy
and a wagon train was crawling over
the plains. The Indians could not hive
asked for the situation to be bettered
They lost little time in pushing In. The
last six wagons were cut off by a bril-
liant dash, seven OF the escort killed
and the six drivers saved to be for
tured at the stake later on. The SOL
oilers turned out from the new fort and
gave chase, but were beaten back. Six
double mule teams and twelve led
horses were among the fruits of the
capture. and under the covers of the
wagons was wealth beyond compare

Black VOLTS Bad Heart

copyright. 1906. by c. II. Sutcliffe.l
The Cheyennes had fought the white
soldiers for fifteen years. Chief Walk,

that there were only about 5000 white
men in all America, and as soon as he
could get them together he would fin
lsh them off. but after many years he

When the first blades of green grass
were seen on the southern hillsfdes
word was sent out to the subchiefs to
gather in council. All responded but
Black Welt. He was a fiery tempered
young man of twenty-five. 1t had so
happened that he and his band had
taken all the scalps gathered in during
the year past, and he was ambitious,
fearless and great hater. He wanted
war all the time. He had plans to
round up all the white soldiers and
make grand finish of them. Let the
Cheyennes perform some daring deed
and they might count ON an alliance
with at least three other tribes. Black
Wolf claimed to be III and asked for a
few days delay.

escape hunger and cold. In the wagons
here are enough food and blankets to
last lis for years. If forty-two of us
have done this, what cannot 1000 of
us do? There are 500 white men at the
new fort. Are we to lea~a them III
peace, or are their scalps to hang on
our lodges?"
All this and heap more was said
by Black Wolf before he was through
with his speech, and he carried the
crowd with him. Walk-by-Night con-
cIuded that he had made a big mis-
take and straightway repented of II,
while the squaws chanted and the war
riors Dragged and staggered. The VII
lsge now numbered 800 people. Some
or the bands had not yet come In. Five
or the wagons were unloaded, and the
hopes Of the redskins were more than
realized. Thsre were pork, beef, sugar,
coffee and 4oIr by the barrel. There
we're lme0n, hard tack. beans, peas, rice
and tobacco. The six wagons were In
the center of the village. The stun
taken from tie FIVE made great heap.
The coHtentg OF the sixth were left for
Inspection on the morrow.
BY and by, when all speeches had
beep concluded, hunger satisfied and
the crowd had got hold of enough whis-
ky TO give everybody a whooping old
time. some Of the younger bucks began
firing their guns. One of the teamsters
called out to them and tried to ex'
plain something. He was given slap
on the face, and the revel went on.
Ten minutes later one of the bullets
nred by a mad dancer penetrated the
box OF the wagon, and there instantly
followed an explosion that shook the
earth for thirty miles around. 1t had
been the last wagon in the train. II
was loaded with dynamite for blasting
down portion of the bluffs. Inc
blast struck the hills to the west and
came back to strike those on the east.

Building or Buying House.

It is frequently cheaper to buy than
to build house if one keeps on the
lookout for real estate bargains. 1t is
hardly ever well. however, to purchase
one Of the so called cheap houses erect
ed by real estate agents and contract
ors and advertised. They are built to
sell, with all that that implies. In the
outskirts of a city a two family house
is an excellent investment.
The arrangements for the two fami-
lies are quite separate, so that the
house owner can live in one part and
let the other part. Often the rent re-
ceived pays off the mortgage. or at
least the interest on money borrowed
to secure the home. When you build,
have bathroom. furnace and hot and
cold water facilities provided. Elec-
trio lights are even put into farm
houses nowadays

STEAM SHOVEL AT WORK IN CULEBRA CUT.
ed In his special message to congress
on the Panama canal President Roose-
welt, speaking of what he witnessed in
the Culebra cut, said:
sIt was striking and impressive to
see the huge steam shovels in full play,
the dumping trains carrying away the
rock and earth they dislodged. The
implements of French exeavating ma
chinery, which often stand little way
from the line of work. though of ex-
cellent construction, look like the veri-
est toys when compared with these
new steam shovels, just as the French
dumping cars seem like toy cars when
compared with the long trains of huge
cars, dumped by steam plows, which
are now in use. This represents the
enormous advance that has been made
in machinery during the past quarter
of century,
An idea of the size of the steam
shovel shown in the picture may be
obtained by comparing it with the
man in the left hand corner.

mended and did her own homework.
They saved little money, enough to
pay for plot Of rough ground, and on
that they proceeded to build house,
borrowing the money to pay for it.
The house had a cellar and seven
rooms and an attic.
The heroic woman soon found, how
ever. that, skimp as she would, they
could not pay for their home on the
husbands salary She resolved to earn
some money herself Most women
would have thought they had enough
to do already but this one had strong
purpose in view. That lifted her above
the level of common souls. She bought
COW and learned to milk and take
care of the animal herself. The COW
paid the building and loan association
dues. Next the heroic woman added
the chicken and egg industry to her
money getting ventures. A small poul-
try house was built. which soon was
added to, and that brought in money.
The ground was full of roots and stones
about their house. These the home
maker dug up with her own hands and
made a vegetable garden, selling vege-
tables too. For years in summer she
worked from a. m till 9 and 10 at
night. but the home was paid for.
