her wondrously daring to venture such
a trip, the apprehensive advice of her
teachers, and much reading, not very

life on the plains. The possible hard.

was never difficult. or course, the
stage ride would be an entirely fresh
and precarious experience, but then
her father would doubtless meet her
before that, or send some officer to act
as escort. Altogether the prospect
appeared most delightful and alluring.
The illness Of the principal Of Sun.

the school some few days earlier than
had been anticipated, and 1t was SO
lonely there after the others had de.

packing and promptly Joined the ex.

proper date at Kansas City or Fort
Ripley just as well, enjoying herself
meanwhile amid q new environment,
and no doubt she would encounter
some of her fathers army friends who
would help entertain her pleasantly.
Miss Mcdonald was somewhat i'm
pulsiye, and, her interest once arous.
ed, impatient of restraint.
As a result of this earlier departure
she reached Ripley some two days in
advance of the prearranged schedule,
and in spite of her young strength and
enthusiasm, most thoroughly tired

body bruised and aching. One horse
lay motionless, head under, apparently
instantly killed; his mate struggled to
his feet, tore frantically loose from
the traces, and went flying madly
down the slope, the broken harness
dangling at his heels. The Sergeant
sat up and stared about, sweeping the
blood from a slight cash out of his
eyes. Then he camo to himself with a

that a shift in conditions might bring
