On Wildcat Creek.

Toinette was dead. The news came
to David and left him without hope
or aim or wish for life. One OF the
Indian prisoners told the horrible
story of her death to his captors, with
a CLEAN of hendish malevolence In his
eyes.
David %shuddered as he had not
among all the carnage of battle, and
his limbs tottered beneath him. Some
n of the soldiers raised up his rifle
and struck down the boaster as If he
were crushing a snake. No one held
back his hand.
One, with awkward sympathy, put
his hand on the shoulder of the
shaken David and led him back to the
American camp. Behind them the
ruined village lay smoldering in the
November sun but David himself
walked as in u dream. Men who met
him stepped aside in silence, to let
him pass, daring to ask no question.

Of red men. And then a grim smile
crossed his face, as he reflected that
he and his little army, uncouth, pro-
fame, greedy for material things, sor-
did as all humanity, was the flaming
sword Of the progress of humanity
driving u the old order, substituting
the new.
The song of Elkskatawa, the Proph-
ct, the Loud Voice, went on. The
white men heard it and were troubled.
The red men heard it and grew drunk
with audacity. 1.-The bullets of the
white man shall fall at your feet, my
children, and their powder shall be
sandl" How could they be harmed?
Again their wild attack commenced ;
they left the shelter of trees and
fallen log and charged the slender line
that held the right flank. Harrison
shouted orders to his aids:
"Send Robb's company here for re-
enforcement Tell Major Floyd to
place Prescott's company in Robb's
position. Send Smelling to the north
Wtbl dlRlc. Sooh III AoNh AANANs ANAA
Colonel Decker to send Wilson's COM
pany to the northwest angle, Colonel
Bartholomew to send SCOTS company
with Wilson's!"
The night was slowly giving place
to the gray dawn. A faint light stole
gradually through the dripping
branches. David could see how yell
low the faces of the wounded looked
in the pale break of day. Baen, he
knew, was wounded MORALLY, Barthol-
omew hurt.
As he neared the center of the
camp, Robb's Mounted Rifles, 10 men,
went by him with a rush, the gallop-
ing hoofs ~thudding on he wet turf.
Here and there the smoldering embers
of the eampfires blazed up again. Da-
yid went on with the sickening work
of the hospital corps.
He was carrying a wounded man to
the shelter of the wagons when little
Jimmy Spencer, Captain Spencer's
fourteen-year-old son, ran from the
tents and clutched him by h sleeve,
begging to be told If his father was
unhurt. David answered the boy re-
assuringly he had just seen the cap
tain cheering on his men, a bloody
handkerchief tied about his head.
When they went back to the right,
Jimmy ran at David's side, refusing to
stay behind.
"Fatherr" he cried, and the soldier
turned at the hail. He was about 70

their burdens and went back for a sec-

found some new victim.
And then David was in the tbick
or the painting struggle which Spier
Spencer's men were enduring. The
horses lay on the ground, and from
over their backs the riflemen fired into
the darkness peopled with the vague
shapes of the bowling avages: but
the horses, terrorized by the uproar
and mysterious singing things that
tore them, tried again and again to
rise; their masters kept them down
only by superhuman exertiOns.
There was u momentary luIl: from
across the little valley where the rush

there came n strange and wild chant

And so the men of Geiger's Ken
lucky Rifles and those of Captain
Barton's regular troops, forming the
northwest angle, awoke to find a hun
dred shadowy forms rushing on them
with the cries of wild beasts. Their
answering fire burnt the very breasts
of the Indians and lighted up the
painted, hideous faces. There was no
time to reload; the rifles became clubs
that swung and crashed against rib
and skull, or red warrior and white
went down locked in the terrible EN-
brace which the bloody knife alone,
rising and falling, might end.
But the angle held firm. When Har-
rlson and his staff refined in their
horses at the spot, the hand-to-hand
conflict was over, and the savages had
retreated to the shelter of trees,
where they might have time to reload
their guns. Behind them they left a
score of dead and dying of their own
number; but some bore at their belts
The dripping scalps of the newly slain.
1t was then hat the trumpeter, at
Major Wells command, had placed
Inc trumpet to his lips and blown the
charge. With a cheer, the men of
barton's company heard the order re-
peated by their own captain and went
ahead at a run. Only a dozen or so
or Geiger's men had been able to Sc
'ure their frightened horses at the
trumpet call, but these, riding from
Tree to tree. drove the bafied Indians
before them into the willows by the
creek, where the horses could go no
Iarther. From the angle came an aide
with Harrlson's order to sound the re-
call.
They came back. 1t wal wisdom
mat saved them from being cut of
from the main body of the troops. For
uie hight had just begun. Only a little
breathing space they had; and in 1t
they looked upon the faces of their
dead.
h commander and his staff In
spected the lines, letting their horses
PICK their way through the trees,
through the darkness, loose-reined;
each company, as they passed Ii,
pleading to be allowed to go into the
ulck of the fight, and the commander
counseling each to hold its ground,
until at last they came to Norris and
Marrick's companies at the corner of
the right flank and here found Spier
opehcer's rifiemen from Corydon In
the midst of a red baptism of carnage

No official word of the settle

announced that the Seattle strik-
ers would also vote on the settle

Fair Arrangement.
Although the settlement calls
for an open shop" policy in the
operation of street cars in both
cities, street car men say that. the
idea Is a fair one. as they had no
intention of asking a closed shop.
The open shop system will be
handled similarly to that of other
employers who have several
classes of labor in their employ.
The terms of the agreement
reached by the conferees, with
still a few minor matters to be
settled, were:

all other stores in the city asking
them to fall in line with the pro-
gram, and have arranged for a
meeting Of the heads OF the stores
for Friday at s D. m. in the Com
mercial club rooms.
Edwin Gregory, president of the
Standard House Furnishing Co.,
today announced that the entire
working force of the Broadway
furniture store will be put on the
eight-hour dav working basis.
THE new a 'angement," Greg
DRY said, will a. ly not only to
the sales force and the office
force, but to the working force
of the whole institution as we'll.
Believe In It.
I'VE are heartily in sympathy
with this movement, and believe
that our employees are entitled to
the same working hours as many
other classes of workers are now
enjoying. The change to the eight
hour basis was a voluntary one
on the part of the firm, and will
take effect Immediately"
The Pacific Car Co. announced
that the eight-hour day with 10
hours pay had been given tho en-
ployes voluntarily, because "they
had 1t coming to Them" and be-
cause the company fully endorsed
the eight-hour principle which is
gaining everywhere in the coun-

Go i'm Three Miles.
Already Field Marshal Haig's
men, assisted by indomitable
| French troops, have penetrated at
some points three miles thru the
German lines.
A deIuge of rain that turned the
historic mud of Flanders into a
stick ooze hampered the British
drive today.
More than five tons of gas were
loosed by the British against the
inventors of this ewapon in last
nights fighting in the great
drive.
1t was probably the greatest
quantity of gas ever used in
single battle.
A west wind made its use par
ticularly favorable for the British.
Field Marshal Haig and the
French leaders both reported all
gains had been consolidated dur
ing the night and all German
counter attacks repulsed.
The count of prisoners has not
yet been reported. but 1t will
reach at least 5000. German losses
in killed and wounded will be
staggering.
''BlOody Yser."
Every front dispatch today
dwelt on the terrible effect of the
deadly British artillery fire. Line
after line of German trenches we're
literally leveled into crumbling
earth, the concrete emplacements
reduced to dusty fragments.
On the line where the French
were driving ahead, the "bloody
User" again lived up to its name.
Time after time French engi-
neers bridged the stream, only to
see their pontoon structures
wrecked by the enemy's desperate
defensive fire.
But They Do Cross.
But they got the troops across
and beyond. In the mud and
muck of the lowlands, the poilus
struck hard and furiously.
England and France are driving
at what military experts have
judged to be the most vulnerable
spot in the German line.
Any great penetration here will
menace the enemy grip on the
North sea base where it's subma-
|rine warfare centers no less than
the German hold on the great in
dustrial centers of Belgium
around Lille, Journal, Roulers and
Courtrai.
Long Planned.
The offensive is no overnight
plan of strategy.
Preparations have been going
forward for the stroke for more
than a month.
Germany had warning of some
thing that was impending in an
artillery preparation that began
20 days ago and reached a contin-
uous crescendo of fury a week
back.
