torcements were needed and it was necessary as well, to inform the troops distance that bands of hostiles had broken away from the main body and must be met and checked.
 The whole country swarming with Indians and the trip 10 Camp Supply was one that was deemed almost certain death for the couriers who would attempt to make the ride. The command ing officer of the forces in the field asked for volunteers and Sergt. Zacharias T. Woodal Of Troop stepped forward and said that he was ready to go. His example was followed by every man in the two troops, and that day cowardice hung its head
 The ranking captain chose Woodall, and then picked out four men to accompany him the ride across the Indian-infested wilderness. The i've cavalrymen went northward under the star light. At the dawn of the first day they pitched their dog tents in little hollow and started to make the morning cup of coffee.
 When full day was come they circling on khe horizon 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. woodal 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 it's lines The Cheyennes charged and while charging sent a volley into the little prairie stronghold Five carbines made answer, and five Cheyenne ponies carried their dead or wounded riders out of range, for in that day mounted Indians went into battle tied to their horses.
 Behind the little rampant Sergt. Woodall lay sorely wounded and one man dying Let the letter of Gen Miles tell the rest of the story

It des- perate chance but better than staying where they were to starve and thirst or 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 it was 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 nearer their comrades than those be- hind which they 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 it would be because of miracle. Then this stripng lieu tenant did something besides think. The instant that Weir and his comrade made their break iron cover, Hall stood straight up and presented himseE fair and shining mark for the Ute bullets.
 The reds crashed volley at him. ignoring Weir and Hume. The shots struck ali around Hall ma king 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 stagt of their journey
 Hall dropped back to shelter and then in ny ment. after Weir and Hume had chance to draw breath for their second dash he stood up once more, daring the death that seemed certain The hunted ones struck for the next srct that offered shelter the instant that the Ute l.des spat their yolley at the man who was 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 shelter to prepare for the third trial with fate

 Hall led his men back the track that they had come, holding the Utes at bay. Aid came near the end of the perious trail. Lieut.

soldiers. Heroism was the order in the old plains days.
 In the White River valley of Colorado de- tachment of troops wes surrounded by Utes, and for four days the soldiers starving and thirsting, 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 gIeacest and quickest rides of army his tory.
 After Merritt's legion had thrashed and scat tered the Utcs it was supposed that none of the savages was left in the valley. Lieut. Weir of the Ordnance corps, sen of the professor of draw ing at the Military academy on a visit to the west, and in the camp of the Fifth cavalry. tenderfoot named Paul Hume had wandered out to the camp to look the of the great fight. He knew Weir and he suggested a deer hunt.

 young lieutenant of the Fifth cavalry Will jam H. Half, now stationed in Washington with the rank of brigadier general was ordered to take a party of three men with him and to make reconnaissance, for it suddenly became the thought of yhe commanding officer that there might be sayages lurking about. Hall and his men struck into the foothills and circled the coun- try for miles, In the middle of the afternoon they heard firing to the right and front It was rap i'd and sharp, and Hall led his men straight whence it came.

THE DOCTORS WIFE Agrees with Him About Food,

A trained nurse says: "In the practice of my profession I have found so many points in favor of Grape-Nuts food that I unhesitatingiy recommend it to all my patients.
 It is delicate and pleasing to the palate tan essential in food for the sick), and can be adapted to all ages, being softened with milk or cream for babies or the aged when deficiency of teeth renders mastication impos- sible. For fever patients or those on liquid diet find 'Grape-Nuts and albu- men water very nourishing and re- freshing.'
 This recipe is my own idea and is made as follows: Soak teaspoonful of Grape-Nuts in glass of water for ad hour, strain and serve with the beaten white Of an egg and spoonful Of fruit juice for fiavouring. This af- lords great deal of nourishment that even the weakest stomach can assim- Hate without any distress.
 My husband is a physician and he uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it many times for his patients.
 Personally 1 regard a dish of Grape Nuts with fresh or, stewed fruit as the ideal breakfast for anyone-well or sick"
 In any case of stomach trouble, nerv- ous prostration or brain flag, 10 day trial of Grape-Nuts will work wonders toward nourishing and rebuilding and in this way ending the trouble

 Suddenly the Utes took to shel- ter behind the rocks which were scattered in the open. They had lost one man from the fire of the besieged. They were afraid to charge, knowing that to sweep dp that slope, even with only two rifles covering it, meant death for several of their band.
 Hall led his men to a position on the flank of the sayages and sent in four shots. The bullets were the first notice that the reds had that they had two parties to deal with. They changed their position again in a twinkling, and located them selves so that they were under GOV CT from both directions, but they sent a volley in the face of the lit tie detachment that had ridden in to the rescue.
 To charge the enemy with his three men meant certain death to Hall and his troopers. The lieuten-

 tic history can there be found an ac- count of a battle won by force of men when the odds against them were 9 to 1. In no story which can be told concerning the people of the plains is there to be found tale of greater heroism than that shown by a little contingent of enlisted men of the Sixth United States cavalry down near the Red river in Texas, in the summer of the year 1874. The Sixth cavalry has had fighting history, but this particular story shines bright in it's pages.
 The Comanches, the Cheyennes and the Kiowas were on the warpath and were leaving a red trail all along the borders of western Kansas. General, then colonel, Nelson A. Miles, was or dered to take the field against the saw ages. His expedition fitted out at Fort Dodge and then struck for the far frontier. The combined bands of Indians learned that the troops were on their trail and they fled south to the Red river. of Texas, hotly pursued by two troops of the Sixth cavalry, commanded by Captains Riddle and Compton
