1--WE have come to avenge our

warrior. I'VE must 60 on"
Then they turned their eyes up
on the great war-chief who had led
them to so many hard-earned VIC
tories. War Eagle rose to his feet
and walked slowly into the center
of the circle. Although he had seen
the SHOWS of more than sixty win
tiers, he was as straight and appar-
emily as vigorous as any man in the
war party. The Sioux found their
hearts filling with admiration as
they gazed upon him. They were
proud to be in his company.

The Cheyennes nodded approval
to the words of their chief. Their
eyes flashed the pride which his
talk had inspired. There was not
| one among them who was not pre-
pared to follow him into the Paw
nee camp. These fearless warriors
were giving splendid exhibition
Of courage and loyalty. and the
| young Sioux were much impressed.

War Eagle sent Painted Weasel
and Running Grow to locate the
Pawnee camp and learn the fight

with scouts riding far in advance
and on either flank. the war party
set out toward the north. They
continued to ride until sunset, and
then they camped in a little patch
of timber beside a stream.

nal, but after watching it some
time he became convinced that it
rose from camp. While he was
talking another horseman ap-
peared from the west
1T is Running Crow; he brings
news" said the Cheyennes.
1--WE will hear what he says; per
haps he has seen this thing" re-
piled Painted Weasel.
Running Grow had learned much
from the trail OF the Pawnees. He
said the warriors had overtaken the
women and children some distance
to the west Then they turned to-
ward the north. Soon afterward he
saw new trail from the west.
These people had turned to follow
their predecessors. Running Crow
said there were no marks of trav-
oispoles in the second trail, and he
believed that the travellers were
warriors.
A few moments later the two re-
naming scouts arrived from the
south. They had seen nothing of
their enemies.
The Cheyennes halted to hold a
council Of war. War Eagle said
! that he believed the smoke which
Painted Weasel had seen marked
a great Pawnee camp. He told his
warriors that the company Of horse
| men whose trail had been found by
Running Crow were undoubtedly q
party Of warriors who had detached
themselves from q still larger COM
pany to look for the trail Of their
tribesmen.
Then the oldest member Of the
| war party rose to speak. His dress
and his manner convinced the
Sioux that he was medicine-man.
He turned his face toward the sky,
and stood a moment or two with
closed eyes. The Cheyennes
watched him with much interest.
and 1t was evident that he was one
whose opinion carried weight.
| my heart tells me that all the
Pawnees are gathering for a big
talk. see many lodges. many
women and children. many war
riors. It is bad" he said, solemnly.
The lads wondered whether he
would persuade his people to turn
back. They studied the grim faces
of the warriors. What they saw re-
assured them. They believed that.
having made their boast. the Chey-
ennes were prepared to carry 1t
through at any cost.

will rescue him. will go with
my brothers, the Cheyennes.
have spoken it"
His words were received with ap-
prevail. Many of the warriors came
forward to shake his hand. Then
they turned to White Otter.
What Sun Bird has told you is
true. My heart is friendly to my
brothers, the Cheyennes. l will go
with you to fight our enemies, the
Pawnees," he said. .
White Otter had several reasons
for not mentioning the Red Arrow.
First. because he was unwilling to
acknowledge that the Pawnees had
gained possession of it. Besides, it
was improper to mention this sa-
cred medicine-emblem to any one
but a Sioux. He determined, there
fore to keep secret the real object
of his expedition against the Pawn
eeS.
The chief made brief reply in
which he again complimented the
lads and promised to help them
rescue Little Raven. Then the
! Cheyennes began their dismal task.
They had brought a number of ex-
ira ponies to carry the dead war
riors. When the bodies had been
securely dashed on these horses
War Eagle selected ten men to es-
cort them to the Cheyenne village.
They started away at once and Red
Dog went with them.
"You have saved my life. will
remember this thing. will tell my
children about you." he cried to
the lads as he rode away.
There goes brave man." said
White Otter.
After the little procession had
filed away into the night the Chey-
enne chief led his warriors to the
river. They had ridden far and
fast, and they threw themselves
! upon the ground to rest until day
light. The lads rolled themselves
! in their buffalo robes and tried to
sleep. but their minds were filled
with thoughts of the approaching
battle, and they remained awake
through most of the night.

Ham Footlites leaned on the rail of
his sea-going yacht soliloquizing about

heaved splendidly, each blue wave
being a super under roll of canvas.
But the waves were here and there
threadbare, and suddenly a wave
ripped and a head bobbed up in the
midst of the heaving sea and stared
around in bewildered fashion.
Ham Footlites silenced the audi

BEATS ANY TARIFF
coUNTRY'S PRESENT PROSPER.
ITY DUE TO EUROPEAN WAR.
Not Underwood Tariff, but Cessation
Of Industry of Foreign competi-
tors in American Markets Is
Responsible for Trade.

The prosperity which the United
States enjoys today is built up behind
wall of protection mGci. higher than
any tariff ever erected. 1t is sheltered
by barriers equal to three ordinary
tariffs piled one on top of the other,
In respect TO some important phases
of foreign competition.
The war has operated as a COM
plete embargo upon shipments of man
ufactured products of many kinds from
Germany. the most formidable COM
petitor this country had to face in
Europe, in time of peace. Austria
Hungary has also been practically
eliminated from American import
trade. That is true of Belgium. Also
and Belgian wares were long Il factor
of no little consequence in American
markets.
Even countries which still have ac-
cess to American ports are so occu-
pied with war needs and war condi-
tons that they have been nearly wiped
off the map. in respect to some impor-
tant Industrial fields, as far as export
trade goes. Altogether. the war has
placed barriers in the way of foreign
exports to the United States which are
lar more diihcult to pass than the high
est tariff ever heard of in this country
or any other modern nation.
So Wilson prosperity is high tariff
prosperity-In effect the highest tariff
by far that the industries of the United
States have ever known. In some
great fields it is prosperity sheltered by
virtual embargo. II should have
proved the case for the Republican
party and its candidate. for the war is
temporary and may not last long, and
its duration is wholly for foreign gov
ernments To decide. When it ends its
embargoeS and its trade barriers of
all kinds viii fail.
