wagon. The quartermaster was on
the box, driving recklessly. Only
Hamlln and dozen other men were
still in saddle. Without orders they
dashed forward, squirting maddened
horses into the ranks of the Indians,
hurting them left and right, firing into
Infatuated red faces, and slashing
about with dripping sabres. Into the
lane thus formed sprang the tortured
mules, sweeping on with their precious
load of ammunition. Behind closed In
the squad of rescuers, struggling for
their lives amid a horde of savages.
Then, with one wild shout, the dis
mounted troopers leaped to the res
cue, hurting back the 1isorganized In
dian mass, and dragging their COM

the ammunition cases; cartridges
were damned into empty guns, and a
second line of fighting men leaped for

Dragged from his horse at the first
fierce shock, his revolver empty, his
broken saber a jagged piece of steel,
Hamlin hacked his way through the
first line of warriors, and found ref

two others, he made stand, gripping
carbine. 1t was all the work of a
moment. About him were skurrying
figures Infatuated faces, threatening
weapons, yells of agony, cries of rage.
The three fought like fiends, standing
back to back, and striking blindly at
leaping bodies and clutching hands.

riors; rifles in hand they fought saw
agely. The screams of women and
children. the bowling and baying of
Indian dogs, the crack of rifles, the
wild war cries, all mingled into an in
describable din. Black Kettle was al
most the first to fall, but other chiefs
rallied their warriors, and fought like
fends, yielding ground only by inches,
until they found shelter amid the trees
and under the river bank.
In the cessation of hand to hand
fighting the detachments came to-
gether, reforming their ranks, and re-
loading their arms. Squads Of troop
ers fired the tepees, and gathering
their prisoners under guard, fastened
back to the ranks again at the call of
the bugle. By now Custer compre-
hended his desperate position and the
full strength of his Indian foes. Fresh
hordes were before him, already
threatening attack. Hamlin, bleeding
from two flesh wounds, rode in from
the left flank. where he had been

Oil From Trees.

The Chinese wood-oil tree is the
subject of a circular by David Fair
child, recently published by the U. s.
bureau of plant industry, the purpose
of the publication being to advocate
an extensive cultivation of the tree
in this country, where it has been
grown in small way since 1906.
The Importance Of this recommend
alton is shown by the fact that five
million gallons Of wood oil (als0
known as tung OLD, made from the
seeds of this plant, was imported from
China last year, and the product is
said to have had revolutionary ef-
feet on the varnish industry OF the
United States.

The combination Of lace and black

of green and brown with cream or but

to older women and quite as effective

with the fabric is used for embellish-

hanging and not the fitting which is
of paramount Importance, such cords,

making up the clinging and light

placed, one at each side. They are
