ing in from the warpath. The Sioux
surrendered to Gen. Miles in Janu-
airy, 1891, but they came very near,
a few days after the surrender, to
the point of breaking away once
more. The story of it is this:
Gray dawn was breaking at the
Pine Ridge agency when an Indian
runner broke headlong into the vii
lage of the surrendered Sioux. He
stopped at the tepees of the prin-
'cipal warriors long enough to shout
q message, and then leaving the
camp where its end rested against
an abrupt hill, he made his way with
a plainsman's stealth to the group of
agency buildings, circling which and
extending beyond. GROWING ridge

tents of the soldiers.
Breakfast was forgotten in the
troubled camp OIL the sioux. The
chiefs and the greater braves rushed
to quick council and the lesser war
riors, the squaws and the children
stood waiting with logged patience
in the village streets.
The council was over. An old chief
shouted a word of command that was
caught up and passed quickly to the
farthest outlying tepee. An army
might have learned q lesson from
that which followed the short, sharp
order. Mounted men shot out from
h village and as fast as fleet-footed
ponies, pressed to their utmost, could
accomplish the distances every out
