 In the White River valley of Colorado de- tachment oi troops was surrounded by utes, ana for four days the soldiers, starving and thlrstlng, 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 g1earest and quickest rides of army his tory.
 After MeYrit's legion had thrashed and scat. tered the Utcs it was supposed that none of the savages was lett in the valley. Lieut.. Weir of the Ordnance corps, a son of the professor of draw ing at the Military academy, was on visit to the west. and in the camp of the Fifth cavalry. A tendcrfoot 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 afelG. The hunters, eager fer tkc chase, went farther than they thought and soon they changed from hunters to hunted.
 A young lieutenant Of the Fifth cavalry, Will jam II Ilali. now stationed in Washington with the rank of brigador general, was ordered to take a party of three men with him and to make reconnaissance for il suddenly became the thought of the commanding officer that there might be sayagcs lurking about Hall and his men struck into the foothills and circled the try for miles In the middle of the afternoon they heard firing to the right and front. It rap i'd and sharp and Hall led his men straight whence it came
 Rounding a point of rocks the troopers saw at a little distance across open place in the hills a hand of Utes in Wal paint and feathers. There were 5 of the reds all told, and they were firing as fast as they couo .r. l and pull trigger in the direction of a small @"al fertilization ci boUl- ders q quarter way -aa face of cliff.

At the affair l wish to describe for your department readers the hostess had five tables with the fol lowing stunts to be accomplished :: First, to see who could sew on the most buttons in the time allotted; sec ond, to see who could sew on the most lace; third, the best buttonhole in five minutes; fourth, the best patch work square; fifth, the neatest hem in the square of cheese cloth. We played partners, the two best progress ing. We were all given wee baskets with silk bag tops attached and the markers were buttons, hooks and eyes, spools of thread, steel bodkins, etc. There were prizes of needle books. scissors and spool cases filled

ant thought quickly. He believed that if 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 des perate chance but better than staying where they were to sarye 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 it was feeble was at hand They the lowering smoke of the car pines 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 were 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 a miracle Then this stripling 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 a volley at him, ignoring Weir and Hume. The shots struck ali around Hall king a framework of spatters on the rock at his back, but he was unhurt and Weir and his comrade behind shelter at the end of the first stage of their journey
 Hall dropped back to shelter and then in no 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 ones struck for the next srot that offered shelter the instant that the Ute l.des spat their volley 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 to shelter to prepare for the third trial with fate.

joining of the shade is imperceptible. The tab marked A slips under the cor responding letter on the opposite side, E and F, and C under the letter C. The tabs are to be glued in this manner. Before joining. however, the background of the design is to be cut out with small pointed scissors. leGNi ing a delicate tracery of leaves and flowers The effect of the silk under the flowers is very pretty.
 The little shades may be purchased all ready to slip the painted shade over, and the design given is planned to exactly fit them. They come bead-lringed in all colors for 50 cents. the best variety with silk outside and lining of mica, thin substance that will not burn. Then the~s are dainty little separate silk Things of different colors with silk fringe to match for 15 cents
 The pink shades are, perhaps, the most effective with the wild rose de sign. but yellow is also pretty If yellow lining is used, then the flowers may be painted yellow. A light green lining is also pretty under the pink oY yellow shade.

A dainty candle shade gives pret- ty finish to table. mantel or dresser. and the new tinted flower shades mounted over colored silk are most attractive The woman who is clever with her brushes may make no end of pretty things. but these shades may be initiated even by those who know nothing about painting, providing they put the color on in neat, careful manner.
 The first step is to tracf the design on a piece of watercolof paper, then color it, either shading, if one knows how, or using flat washes with pen and ink outline. In the latter case Ise waterproof ink, going over every inc when the paint is dry.

forcements were needed and it was necessary as well, to inform the troops distance that bands oi hoStiles had broken away from the main body and must be met and checked,
 The whole country was swarming with Indians and the trip to 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 aud said that he was ready to go His example was followed ivy every man In the two troops, and that day cowardce hung it's head.
 The ranking captain chose Woodall, and then picked cut four men to accompany him on the ride tho Indianintested wilderness The i've cavalrymen went uorthward under the star light At the dawn of the first day they pitched their dog tents in a little hollow and started to maNe the morning cup of coffee.
 When full day como they circlinG on the horizon swarm of Cheyennes. The eye of khe 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 lnear their birouac which offered some slight ad- Vantage for the purposes of defense, There they waited with carhines advanced, while the red , aon closed in its lines. The Cheyenncs charged, and while charging sent yoey into the little prairie stronghold Five carbfDes 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 Woodal lay sorely wounded and dying. Let the letter Of Gen Miles tell the rest oi the story.
 From early morning to dark outnumbered 25 to 1, under almost constant fire and at such a short range that they sometimes used their pis- tols, retaining the last charge to prevent capture and torture, this little party of five defended their lives and the person of their dying comrade, with out food and their only drink the ranwater that they collected in a pool, mingled with their own

Puzzle" Announcement Party.


 Quite recently a hostess used pug ,le pictures to announce the engage ment of the guest of honor. The club to which the young couple belonged were invited and as no one suspected the news that was to be revealed the affair was entirely successful.
 Tables and puzzles were arranged so that four persons worked together, the hostess explained that when the six tables had completed their pug zles very interesting story would be woven from the pictures; that a prize would be awarded to the one who first guessed the story The first picture put together showed a boy and girl with a map upon which there were two states, Maine and Ohio; the sec ond puzzle revealed man and girl dancing with the words Yale" and 'Vassar"
 Then the third picture was a poser, for 1t was simply cut of a White Star liner, the fourth puzzle was a Pullman train marked California Limited;" The fifth was a scene in park, with a couple sitting under the trees, and the sixth was bride and groom walking up the aisle over which were the initials of the young couple.
 The prize was a large box of con fetti with which the pair were duly showered. Congratulations followed and every one was delighted. The hostess had painted some of the pie lures, pasted them on thin sheets of wood and a boy friend cut them out on his Jig saw Post cards, advertise ments and magazines furnished the others

Markino Silver for Bride.

An old custom, which is now new one. is that of marking a brides silver with the first initial of the bride groom's first or Christian name, and the brides two initials, with the initial of the bridegroom's last name, thus Supposing the man to be John Smith and the bride Anna Edgar" the fiat silver would all be engraved "J." and "A. E. &" Silver marked this way is shown by a lady who will soon cele- brate her fortieth anniver jary, and she says it was the GUS Jm of the largest eastern jewellers lo mark all wedding silver in this wGy unless spe- cially instructed otherwise. Many brides of today seem to prefer their wedding gifts to be marked with the initial which they have every right to expect will be theirs for life. But all bridal linen both personal and for household use, is marked with the brides monogram or her initials. Will all prospective brides take this as bit of personal information?

 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 up that slope, even with only two rifles covering it, meant death for several of their band.
 Hall led his men to position on the flank of the savages 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 cov- CT from both directions, but they sent a yolley in the face of the lit tie detachment that had ridden in to the rescue.
