suspiciously across the prairie The
two parties met suddenly upon the
summit of a sharp ridge and Brant
drew in his horse with an exclamation
of establishment. 1t was pathetic
spectacle he stared at-a horse scarce
ly able to stagger forward; on his back,
with feet strapped securely beneath
and hands bound to the high pommel,
the lips grinning ferociously, perched
a misshapen creature clothed as a
man. Beside these, hatless, his shoes
barely holding together, man of
slender figure and sunburnt face held
the bridle-rein. An instant they gazed
at each other, the young officers eyes
filled with sympathetic horror, the
other staring alphabetically at his res
cuer.

you here?"

Hampton lifted the tin to the figure in
the saddle.

For an instant the maniac glared
back at him sullenly; then he appear.
ed to shrink in terror, and drank
swiftly.
I'VE can make the rest of the way
now" Hampton announced, quietly.
Lord, but this has been a trip!"
Lane dismounted at Brant's order
and assisted Hampton to climb into
the vacated saddle. Then the trooper
grasped the rein of Murphy's horse,
and the little party started toward
where the pack-train was hidden in
the valley.
'Is Custer here?" said Hampton.
No; that is, not with my party. We
are guarding the pack-train. The 9TH
ers are ahead, and Custer, with FIVE
troops, has moved to the right. He
is somewhere among those ridges

The man turned and looked where
the officer pointed, shading his eyes
with his hand.
Can you give me a fresh horse, a
bite to eat, and cup of coffee, down
there?" he asked, anxiously 'You

The history of Armenia is not cheer
ful reading. With the exception of &C.
casional brief periods, the Armenians
have been almost continually under
some foreign rule. Assyrians, Baby
lonians, Modes, Persians, Macedoni-
ans, Romans, Parthians, Saracens,
Mongols and Turks have each in turn
dominated the country, and of all
these successive foreign yokes, the
present one, that Of the Turks, has
been the longest and the heaviest.
The highest activities of the Armenian
people to-day are not to be found in
Armenia proper, but rather in the
marts of prominent cities the world
over. This is especially noticeable in
Constantinople, Smyrna and other
cities Of the Levant, where the
marked aptitude Of the Armenian in
business enables him practically to
dominate the commercial situation.
One example is the Oriental rug trade,
which is practically controlled by Ar
menians, not only in the east itself,
Out also in many western countries.

CHAPTER Xxx.-continued.

At dawn they were in a narrow
gorge among the hills, a dark and
gloomy hole, yet peculiarly safe spot
In which to hide, having steep, rocky
lodges on either side, with sufficient
grass for the horses. Leaving Murphy
bound, Hampton clambered up the
front of the rock to where he was
able to look out. All was silent and
his heart sank as he surveyed the
brown sterile hills stretching to the
horizon, having merely narrow gulches
of rock and sand between, the sheer
nakedness of the picture unrelieved
by green shrub or any living thing.
linen, almost despairing, he slid back,
stretched himself out amid the soft
grass, and sank into the slumber of ex-
haust1on, his conscious memory the
incoherent babbling of his insane
companion.
He awoke shortly after noon, feeling
refreshed and renewed in both body
and mind. Murphy was sleeping when
he first turned to look at him, but he
awoke in season to be fed, and ac-
cepted the proffered food with all the
apparent delight of child. While he
rested, their remaining pacR-animal
had strayed, and Hampton was COM
PEELED to go on with only the two
horses, strapping the depleted store
of provisions behind his own saddle.
Then he carefully hoisted Murphy into
place and bound his feet beneath the
animals belly.
1t was already becoming dusk when
they swept down into a little nest of
green trees and grass. 1t appeared so
suddenly and was such an unexpected
oasis amid that surrounding wilder
ness, that Hampton gave vent to a
sudden exclamation of delight. But
that was all. Instantly he perceived
numerous dark forms leaping from
out the Shrubbery, and he wheeled his
horses to the left, flashing them into a
rapid run. 1t was all over in a mo-
ment-a suffering of rifles, wild
medley of cries, glimpse of savage
figures, and the two were tearing
down the rocks, the din of pursuit
away behind them. The band were
evidently all on foot, yet Hampton con-
tinued to press his mount at a swift
pace, taking turn after turn about the
sharp hills, confident that the hard
earth would leave no trace of their
passage.
Then suddenly the horse he rode
sank like log, but his tight grip upon
the rein of the other landed him on
his feet. A stray Sioux bullet had
found its mark, but the gallant animal
had struggled on until it dropped life

Buying Medicine When Right Food
Was Needed.

Money spent for 'tonics" and "brac-
ers" to relieve indigestion, while the
poor old stomach is loaded with pas
try and pork, is worse than losing a

If the money only is lost it's bad

money back.
