In the White River valley of Colorado a de-

made heroic defense against the swarming reds.
Relief came from Fort D. A. Russell, whence Col
Wesley Merritt led force to the rescue In one
of the greatest and quickest rides OF army MIS-
tory.
After Merritts legion had thrashed and scat
tered the Utes 1t was supposed that none of the
savages was left in the valley. Lieut. Weir OF the
Ordnance corps, son of the professor OF draw
ing at the Military academy, was on visit to the
west, and was in the camp of the Fifth cavalry
A tenderfoot named Paul Hume had wandered
out to the camp to look over the scene of the
great fight. He knew Weir and he suggested
deer hunt.
The ordnance officer agreed to accompany him
and off they started after having received warn
ing not to wander too far afield. The hunters.
eager for the chase. went farther than they
thought and soon they changed from hunters to
hunted.
young lieutenant OF the Fifth cavalry, Will
lam H. Hail. now stationed in Washington with
the rank of brlgadier general was ordered to take
party of three men with him and to make
reconnaissance, for 1t suddenly became the
thought of the commanding officer that there
might be savages lurking about. Hall and his

The ranking captain chose Woodal and then
picked out four men to accompany him on the
.ide across the Indian-infested wilderness. The
i've cavalrymen went northward under the star
light At the dawn of the first day they pitched
heir dog tents in a little hollow and started to
make the morning cup of coffee.
When full day was come they saw ctrc'fng on
the horizon a swarm of Cheyennes. The eye OF
the sergeant told him from the movements of the
Indians that they knew of the presence OF the
troopers and that their circle formation was for
the purpose of gradually closing in to the killing.
Sergt Woodall and his four men chose place
near their bivouac which offered some slight ad-
vantage for the purposes of defense There they
waited with carbines advanced. while the red cor.
don closed in its lines. The Cheyennes charged
and while charging sent Volley into the little
prairie stronghold Five carbines made answer,
and five Cheyenne ponies carried their dead or

As St. Louis Lawyers Talk.

Circuit Judge Reynolds had an.
nounced that he would hear jurors
who had excuses to offer for not serv-
ing, and dozen American citizens
crowded up 10 the bench to tell their
troubles Their excuses were as
varied as those who were hidden to
the feast that the Bible tells about.
One had an important engagement
and another could not hear very well,
and another had sickness in his fam
lily, and another had duties to per-
form which nobody else on earth could
perform, and another was going on
a journey And SO it went.
The last man in the line wanted to
be let off because he was German.
He might have been excused If he had
not presented his excuse wrong end

The expression filthy lucre" is OF
Biblical origin, and is to be found in
the third chapter of the first book Of
Timothy, where the qualifications nee
essary for the office of bishop
are thus set forth: This is true
saying. If a man desireth the Of
flee of bishop, he desireth good
work. A bishop must then be blame
less, the husband of one wife, vigilant,
sober, of good behavior, given to hos
pitality, apt to teach; not given to
wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy
lucre; but patient, not brawler, not
covetous."

ant thought quickly. He believed that II Weir and
Hume could reach him, that the party of six. to-
gether might make retreat back to the camp,
holding the pursuing reds in check. It was a des-
perate chance but better than staying where they
were to starve and thirst to be surprised and
killed in a night rush of the savages.
Weir and Hume heard the shots of the troopers
and knew that help, though 1t feeble, was at
hand They saw the lowering smoke of the car
bines and thus located exactly the position of the
troops. They started to do what Hall thought they
would do. They made dash for some rocks 20
yards neare- their comrades than were those be-
hind which they were hiding.
The cavalry lieutenant knew that the path OF
Weir and Hume would be bullet spattered all the
way and that If they escaped being killed 1t would
be because of a miracle. Then this STRIPPING lieu
tenant did something besides think The instant
that Weir and his comrade made their break from
cover Hall stood straight up and presented himself
a fair and shining mark for the Ute bullets.
The reds crashed volley at him. ignoring Weir
and Hume. The shots struck all around Hall, ma
king a framework of spatters on the rock at his
back but he unhurt and Weir and his comrade
were behind shelter at the end of the first stage
of their journey.
Hall dropped back to shelter and then In a mo-
ment after Weir and Hume had a chance to draw
breath for their second DASH he stood up once
MORE daring the death that seemed certain. The
hunted struck for the next spot that offered
shelter the instant that the Ute rifles spat their
volley at the man who willing to make of him
self sacrifice that others might live. Hall came
through the second ordeal of fire unhurt, and once
more he dropped back to shelter to prepare fol
the third trial with fate.
The Ute chieftan alive by this time to the
situation. He ordered his braves to fire, the one
half at Hall and the other half at the two wht
were to run deaths gauntlet.
Hall stood up. Weir and Hume dashed out Thu
reds divided their fire. Hall stood lunhurt. Wei
