CHAPTER xxxvII.-contlnued.

Cf1AF Eh NNNVII.-Contlnued.
The bugle rang again, and they
turned, facing back, and charged once
more, no longer in close formation, but
every trooper fighting as he could.
Complete as the surprise had been,
the men Of the Seventh realized now
the odds against them, the desperate
nature of the fight. Out from the shell
tering tepees poured flood of war.
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
fiends, 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
tho loft dank xubora bo hod 49,
borne by the impetus of the last
charge, with full knowledge of the
truth. Their attack had been CEN
tered on Black Kettles village, but be-
low, mile or two apart, were other
villages, representing all the hostile
tribes of the southern plains Already
these were hurrying up to join those
rallying warriors under the shelter of
the river bank. Even from where
Custer stood at the outskirts of the
devastated village he could distin-
guish the war bonnets of Cheyennes.
Arapahoes, Kiowas and Comanches
mingled together in display OF saw
agery.
His decision was instant, that of the
impetuous cavalry leader, knowing
well the inherent strength and weak
ness Of his branch of the service. He
could not hope to hold his position be-
fore such a mass Of the enemy, with
the little force at his disposal His
only chance Of escape, to come OF vic
tor, was to strike them SO swiftly and
with such force as to paralyze pursuit.
Already the reinforcing warriors we're
sweeping forward to attack, two thou
sand strong, led fercely by Little RAJ
and Little Rock a Cheyenne. Dis.
mounting his men he prepared for a
desperate resistance, although the
troopers ammunition was running
low. Suddenly. crashing through the

hastily wrote his report and sent for
Hamlin. The latter approached and
stood motionless in the red glare Of
the single campfire. The impetUczs
commander glanced up inQuiringly.

with Sheridan, explain to him who
you are-he may have news for you.
Good night, and good luck"
He stood up and held out his hand.
In surprise, his eyes suddenly filling
with tears, Hamlin felt the grip of
his fingers. Then he turned, unable
to articulate a sentence, and strobe
away into the night.

Swinging Jardinieres.

Our Oriental friends seem to have
solved the problem of the summer
storm and the porch plants by using
swinging jardinieres made of split
bamboo and plated grasses. We all
know the havoc wrought among our
beloved ferns by the sudden violent
bursts Of wind which come on hot
summer days and come, seemingly,
out Of clear sky, with scarcely a
moment in which to shelter the cher
ished potted plants. These jardinieres
of split bamboo hanging from the
porch roof by strands of plated grass
just sway gently back and forth and
by so doing allow the plants to accom-
modate themselves more readily to
the gusts Of wind, and so little dam
age results. Besides their usefulness,
the beauty of these swinging jardi-
nieres will appeal to any woman who
has an eye for the artistic, They are
almost the last word for prettiness
for the porch fitted up with hanging
screens and furniture of bamboo.

Bed Linen Economy

1t pays to turn sheets at the first
sign of wear in the middle. 1t also
pays to make sheets at home and to
get rather lightweight muslin,
choosing exactly the same weight, for
pillow cases. The unworn parts of
sheets may then be made into pillow
cases. The making of sheets and pill
low cases is trifling matter. and the
saving on single sheet is at least
20 cents, to say nothing of the fact
that the quality of the muslin you
buy is better than the average mate
rial used for ready-made bed linen. If
you have linen sheets and pillow cases
the saving is more marked. Aside
from the comfort of sheets three yards
long they were better as they are
not torn or strained in the constant
effort to pull them up.

.Landscape Beauty an Asset.

The courts in several states have
declared that landscape beauty is an
asset and that man has neither legal
or moral right to desecrate it by the
erection of billboards. All states
should eliminate every one of these
Objectionable blots on the landscape,
even II a constitutional amendment
be necessary in order to control the
matter. One year from date Of pas.

billboard companies to retire from the
business This is but fair. and we
should insist that the billboard must
go.-Exchange.

SPACE ALREADY SOLD

Declaring that the inaugural committee
had broken faith with the Public Build
ings and Grounds Committee of the
House in failing to make promised pro-
vision for newspaper correspondents in
the grand stand opposite the Presidents
reviewing stand, Senator Sheppard OF
Texas yesterday introduced in the SEN
ate, and had passed, a concurrent reso-
luton directing the inaugural committee
to provide so seats in the Lafayette
Park stand Immediately opposite the
Presidents stand.
Chairman William Corcoran EustIs,
chairman of the inaugural committee, de-
cIared last night that If the resolution
is passed in the House II probably will
have to go to the courts. Mr.. Eustis said
that the seats already had been disposed
of, and that there would be no practical
way of complying with Congress demand.
The passage of the resolution in the
House assured.
The resolution specifically states, at
the request OF the standing committee of
correspondents, that the seats are to be
paid Tor by the correspondents at the
same prices paid Tor similar seats by
others.

Sheppard said: When 1 was chairman of
the House Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds, the resolution author
izing the use of public grounds Tor the
erection OF these stands was before us.
For the information of the Senate l will
state that if We had not been assured
at that time ny members OF the inaugural
committee that the members OF the press
would he given sufficient accommoda-
tiun We would have inserted the necessary
provision in the resolution at that time.
Mr. Eustis said:
The seats in the Lafayette stands are
practically all gone now. don't see
how We would he able to set that num-
Der aside. As far my memory serves
me. there was no understanding that the
correspondents should be given any stip-
ulatcd number OF seats when the bill
authorizing the erection OF the stands
was passed.
II can only speak as a layman, and
not as a lawyer. but I should say offhan
that the matter would have to be taken
into the courts
George L. Hamilton. chairman OF the
Legislative committee. declined to make
any statement concerning the bill.
