CHAPTER xxxIII.
The Old Regiment.

BY the time Hampton swung up the
coulee, he had dismissed from his at
tention everything but the business
that had brought him there. He ex-
perienced no fear, no premonition Of
coming disaster, yet the reawakened
plainsman in him kept him sufficient
ly wary and cautious. He possessed
soldiers proud confidence in his reg
iment-the supposition that the old
fighting Seventh could be defeated was
impossible; the Indian did not ride
those uplands who could do the deed!
Then there came to him a nameless
dread, that instructive shrinking
which a proud, sensitive man must
ever feel at having to face his old
companions with the shadow of a
crime between. In his memory he
saw once more low-ceilinged room,
having table extending down the

Stamford, Co1r.-Shut up alone in
the big cylindrical lighthouse that
rises 20 feet from ledge of rock at
the mouth of Stamford harbor. to
warn mariners OF the treacherous
shoals and rocks all around, Mrs.
Lopisa Weickman kept the light for
:wo days, prey to fear for the safety

keeper. They disappeared one Thurs

them battling vainly.

parting words of her son-in-law. And
watch the light she did. Not until a
reporter managed to reach the light
house in a skiff the following SatuT
day, and assured Mrs. Weickman
that her daughter was alive and safe
and her son-in-law too, did she give
way to her feelings.
"Ach. Colt. that IS good she ex-
claimed. My prayers are answered 3"

You know my daughter Martha has
been i'll, and I sent her away to visit
with friends. On Thursday my son-in-
law received word that she was home
sick and would come back that day.
He took the little launch to Stamford.
1t was in the forenoon when he left
and an hour later gale was blowing
from the northwest. 1t must have
been $3.50 p. m. when I saw them com
ing out in the little boat They tried
to land here, but the launch got on a
rock.
Then John jumped out in water up
to his knees and showed the boat off
