hoarse shout of Dispatches" he was
beyond them. bending low over his
saddle pommel. his eyes on the dust

extended line OF horsemen, riding in
columns of four, came to a sudden
halt, and he raced on. A little squad
of officers, several of their number
dismounted, were out in front, stand
ing grouped just beyond the summit
OF slight elevation, apparently look

cleft in the BLUM beyond. Standing
among these, Hampton perceived the

proud, dashing leader OF light cav
the one he dreaded most, the one he
loved best-Custer. The commander

conversation.

Imagine a conscience that would

weeks ago of two cakes of soap by a
storekeeper in little town in Mime

Edward Hamilton, had a small store
in St Paul. In front of his establish
ment he had a showcase in which he
displayed several large cakes of soap
of special make One morning he
found the glass broken open and one
of the cakes of soap missing. The
theft was SO small that the matter was
never reported. and Hamilton had for
gotten it, till he received a letter from
the thief, which read:

CHAPTER xxxlll.
The Old Reulment.

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
a soldiers proud confidence in his reg
lment-the superstition 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 a low-ceilinged room,
having a table extending down the
center, with grave.faced men, dressed
In the full uniform OF the service,
looking at him amid a silence like
unto death; and at the head sat a
man with long fair hair and mus
tache, his proud eyes never to be for
gotten. Now, after silent years, he
was going to look into those accus-
ing eyes again. He pressed his
hand against his forehead, his body
trembled; then he braced himself for
the interview, and the shuddering cow
ard in him shrank back.
Away to the left something was
moving, a dim, shapeless dash of
color. II might be Benteen, but of
Reno's columns he could perceive
nothing. nor anything of Clusters ex-
cepung that broad track across the
prairies marked by his horses hoofs.
This track Hampton followed. press
ing his fresh mount to increased
speed, confident that no Indian spies
would be lettering so closely in the
rear Of that body of cavalry. and be-
coming fearful lest the attack should
occur before he could arrive.
He dipped over a sharp ridge and
came suddenly upon the rear guard.
They were a little squad of dusty.

AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
Any Child Can Do 1.-THE Result Is
Almost Like Magic-Useful, Too.


Anything in the nature of a chem.
zeal experiment is always interesting
and usually educative. Here is SIM
pie experiment which any child can
perform and which is instructive in
very practical way: Get bit OF White
Lead about the size of pea, a piece
OF charcoal, common candle In
candlestick, and a blow-pipe. Scoop
out a little hollow in the charcoal To
hold the White Lead, then light the
candle, take the charcoal and lead in
one hand and the blow-pipe in the
other, with the large end of the blow
pipe between the lips; blow the fame
OF the candle steadily against the bit
of White Lead on the charcoal and IL
the White Lead is pure il will pres
emily resolve itself into little shining
globules of metallic lead, under the
intense heat OF the blow-pipe, leaving
no residue.
II, however, the White Lead is adul-
terated in the slightest degree, 1t will
not wholly change into lead. So, it
will be seen, that this experiment is
not only an entertaining chemical
demonstration, but also OF practical
use in the home. White Lead Is the
most important ingredient of paint.
II should be bought pure and unadul-
terated and mixed with pure linseed
oil. That is the best paint. The
above easy experiment enables any
one to know whether the paint Is the
kind which will wear or not
The National Lead Company guar
antee that white lead taken from a
package bearing their Dutch Boy

lutely pure under the blow-pipe test;

fore using it, they will send free a
