KEEP COOL, GOVERNOR
ITO BE CONTINUED

In addressing the Southern Society
of New York President-elect Wilson is
reported to have discoursed some
what vehementlH' on politics. He
said, among other things, that he had
recently found IAN increased tempta-
ton to profanity" and that he thought
the recording angel in such cases is
indulgent, for there is such a thing
Is righteous anger" No doubt of the
righteousness of earnest disapproval
at times, but the way to make II
count is not by an agitated manner
and explosive words. AS Mr.. Wilson
has mentioned the matter it Is well
to remind him that it was not by ex-
pletives that Washington, Lincoln and
Grant carried great responsibilities
have been profane but once, and that
was when Gen. Charles Lee, command
ing the advance of the patriot army at
Monmouth, deliberately disobeyed or
ders and enabled the r~etreating Brit
ish forces to escape a crushing blow.
To come to the latter example, Will
liam McKinley's name occurs pleas
ingiy to his fellow countrymen. He
never lost his temper MOI used heated
language. Yet throughout his long
public life he dealt with all sorts of
complicated situations and difficult af-
fairs. No man ever worked harder in
studying tariffs and making them.
He was, much as he loved peace, a
war president, and an exceptionally
successful one. In an extraordinary
assault on real values he q an effec-
tive leader. He quieted sectionalism
and treated political parties other
than his own with considerate good
temper. 1t was said after ne had
fallen at the post of duty, an innocent
victim of insane human malignity,
that his uniformly good statesman
ship was marked by gentle infiexibil-
ity." 1t va kindly as we'll as sound.
The world knows of nothing he said
that would have offended the record
ing angel. Mr.. Wilson should keep
cool. Calmness will tighten the load
he has courted with little experience.

only remaining commissioned officer
at the post vas the partially disabled
cavalry captain, acting temporarily as
adjutant, because incapacitated for
taking the field. He had waited until
the last possible moment, trusting
that a shift In conditions might bring
back some available officer. Now he
had to choose between his duty as
commander and as father. Further
delay was impossible.
Devere was a fort merely by cour-
tesy. In reality it consisted only Of
q small stockade hastily built Of cot
tonwood timber, surrounding in partial
protection a half dozen shacks, and
one fairly decent log house. The
situation was upon a slight elevation
overlooking the ford. some low bluffs.

grass to the northward, while in ev-
cry other direction extended an in
terminable s~and-desert, ever shifting
beneath wind blasts. presenting a
desolate a scene as eye could witness.
The yellow food Of the river. still
swollen by melting mountain snow,
was a hundred feet from the stockade
gate, and on its bank stood the log
cavalry stables. Below, a scant half
mile away, were the only trees visible,
q ~scraggly grove Of cottonwoods.
while down the face Of the bluff and
acros the fiat ran the slender rib
bon of trail. Monotonous, unchang-
ing, 1t was q desolate picture to watch
day after day in the hot summer.
In the gloom following an early
supper the two officers sat together
in the single room OF the cabin, a
candle sputtering on the table behind
them, smoking silently or modify dis
cussing the situation. Mcdonald was
ford and heavily built, his gray mus
tache hanging heavily over a firm
mouth, while the Captain was of a n
other type, tall. with dark eyes and
hair. The latter by chance opened
the important topic.

lessly, Il guess it is just as well you
stopped your daughter from coming
out to this hole. Lord, but 1t would
be an awful place for a woman"
But l didn't" returned the other
moodily. Il put it off too long"
Put it off! Good heavens, man,
didn't you write when you spoke about
doing SO? Do you actually lee the
girl is coming-here?"
Mcdonald groaned.
That is exactly what I mean,
T~ravers. Damme, 1 haven't thought
of anything else for a week. Oh, 1

That's easy enough to say, Travers,
but tell me who is there to send? Do
you chance to know an enlisted man
out yonder who would do-whom you
would trust to take care Of q young

The captain bent his head on one
hand, silent for some minutes.
They are q tough lot, major; that's
a fact. when you stop to call the roll.

There was q long thoughtful silence,
both med modify staring out
through the door. Away in the dark
ness nseen sentinels called the hour.
Then Travers dropped n hand on
the others knee.
"Dan." he said swiftly, how about
that fellow who came in with dispatch

looked like q real man."
II didn't see him. I was down river

Travers got up and paced the floor.
II remember now. What do you

never would have trusted him for that
ride II he hadn't been the right sort"
He strobe ove to the door, without
waiting an answer. Here, Carter"
he called, do you know where that
cavalryman Is who rode in from Fort
Union this afternoon?"
A face appeared in the glow Of
light, and q gloved hand rose to ga
lutte.

the orderly replied. said he'd been
on the trail two nights and a day."
Reckon he had, and some riding at

The man wheeled as If on q pivot,
and disappeared.

Mcdonald, but Travers interrupted
impatiently.
IF! But we all know he can't.

his pipe. Now, see here, Dan, it's

tend to know anything about him, only
he looks like a soldier, and they must
think well Of him at Union"
Mcdonald nodded, but without en-
thusiasm; then dropped his head into
his hands. In the silence a coyote
howled %mournfully not far away; then
a shadow appeared On the log step,
the light Of the candle flashing on a
row of buttons.

West Pointer. Why, he is the same
lad who brought in Dugan-you heard
about that!"
The major shook his head.
mo! Oh, Of course not. Nothing
that goes on out here ever drifts east
of the Missouri. Lord! We might as
well be serving a foreign country.
Well, listen: l was at Washita then,
and had the story first hand. Dugan
was a lieutenant in ID Troop. out
with his first Independent command
scouting along the Canadian. He
knew as much about Indians as a COW
does Of music. One morning the
young idiot left camp with only n
trooper along-Hamlin here-and he
vas a rookie to follow up what look
ed like a fresh trail. Two hours later
they rode slap into a war party, and
the fracas was On. Dugan got a ball
through the body at the first fire that
paralyzed him. He was conscious, but
couldn't move The rest was up to
Hamlin. You ought to have heard
Dugan tell 1t when he got so he could
speak. Hamlin dragged the boy down
into a buffalo wallow, shot both
horses, and got behind them. 1t was
all done in the jerk of a lambs tail.
They had two Henry rifles. and the
rookie kept them both hot. He got
some of the bucks, too, but Of course.
we never knew how many. There
we're twenty in the party. and they
charged twice, riding their ponies al
most to the edge of the wallow, but
Hamlin had fourteen shots without re-
loading, and they couldn't quite make
it. Dugan said there were nine dead
ponies within a radium Of thirty feet.
Anyhow 1t was five hours before 'D
troop came up, and that's what they
found when they got there-Dugan
laid out, as good as dead, and Hamlin
shot twice, and only ten cartridges
left. He'll" he added di~sgustedly,
