SUNRISE GLORIES.
Am I stand and watch the glories of the ris
ing summer sun-
Count the changes as they hasten, each so
marvelous, one by one—
I see reflected beauties glint the shim
mering ocean wave.
Let me ask, are scenes more wondrous In
the land beyond the grave?
Prom the hour when night is darkest, from
the thickest of the gloom,
'Spears of golden light shoot upward with a
touch of heaven's illume;
Then a tiny cloud that's floating far away
in eastern sky,
"Turns a burnished golden beauty, herald of
the King on high.
Bee a bank of clouds low lying, dark and
gloomy, cheerless all.
Tilt they catch a gleam of glory from
heaven's shining ball;
Now sweet rosy lingers paint them, line
each pinnacle with red,
Decks with streams of light and welcome
the rising sun from ocean bed.
Towards the zenith, light and fleecy, float
still other vapory forms,
•Soon resplendent they are shining with
creation's grandest charms.
'Mid such wondrous matchless beauty—
glories born above the earth-
Comes the god of day to brighten the life
and hope Heaven gives to earth.
Hath our Maker given to us. at the dawn
of each new day,
Visions of celestial glory to illumine life's
dark way?
Ar. lie paints life's somber shadows with j
the hues of burnished gold.
Stinting of eternal glory in the land that
ne'er grows old!
—o*ca.r B. Smith, in N. Y. Observer.
CHAPTER XIX.
That night there was rejoicing at the
■•eve stockade. For over a week not a
courier had managed to slip through
la either direction. Alarmed for the
*a.fety of the little garrison, the com
nuinding officer of the post away up at
the gorge of the Big Horn river had
• •ent of cavalry to scout the
■topes of the mountains and look into
•the state of affairs at Warrior Gap.
They found countless fresh pony
tracks all along the foothills east of
the Greasy Grass and in the valleys of
the many forks of the Deje Agie —the
Crow name for Tongue river—but not
mtL Indian did they see. They marched
la among the welcoming officers and
1 men at the bustling post to find them
•el ves hailed as heroes. "We've been
• eufc off from the world for at least ten
days," said the commandant. "Our
•couriers have been killed, captured or
driven back. Even our half-breed
•*couts refuse to make further trial.
They say Red Cloud's people cover the
land in every direction. Our wood
choppers only work under hravy guard.
The contractors, freighters and work
men threaten to strike unless they get
■tbeir money. The sutler refuses them
further credit. The quartermaster has
■paid out every cent and says his requi
sition for SIO,OOO was ordered filled, and
the money ought to have been here a
week ago. All will have to stop if the
money doesn't come. We're safe
«nough. The Sioux don't dnre come
•within range of our breechloaders.
£tut we can't finish the barracks in time
for winter at this rate."
A stout-hearted soldier was the com
manding officer at Warrior Gap. He
had with him now four strong com
panies of infantry and a troop of horse.
He had, he said, but one anxiety, so far
«ts holding the fort was concerned—
some few of the officers and quite a
number of the soldiers, as has been
told, were burdened with their wives
*nd children. If these could only be
moved under strong guard to Frayne
on the Platte, he could snap his fingers
In. the face of Red Cloud and his whole
gang until they too got breech-load
er*. *TC's only a question of time!"
-jsaUi he. "Sooner or later the interior
department will be fool enough to arm
the redskins all over the land with
.magazine rifles, and then there will be
lively work for the war office. Any
da.y," said he, further, "we may ex
pect the coming of a whole regiment
from the Platte posts, and then Mr. Lo
■will have to light out. Meantime, if we
hadn't this trouble about the workmen
ajul could get rid of the women and
ehildren, we'd be all right."
So back to the Big Horn rode the
«quadron to report all safe at Warrior
•Gap. barring the blockade, and almost
on the same date out there started
•from Laramie, on the long march up
the Platte and over across the sage
■covered deserts, a strong force of foot
and dragoons; and up from the Sweet
water, far to the southwest, came this
venturesome little party of ten,
'bringing the much-demanded money,
and all the while, with his far-riding,
far -seeing scouts in every direction,
Machpealota, perched in the moun
tains back of the building post, warily
watched the dispositions and daily
work, and laid his plans accordingly.
Not a warrior was permitted to show
'himself near the stockade, but in a
cordon, five miles out, they
•«uri'ouiide*> the Gap. Not a messenger
bad m&anged to elude their vigilance
by day, not one had succeeded in slip
ping into the little camp by night.
Yet with every succeeding morn the
-choppers and fatigue parties pushed
■farther out from the stocKade, in grow
ing sense of security, and the Indians
iet them come.
Full a week before the Laramie col
umn could possibly reach the moun
tains, however, Red Cloud was warned
of their coining, their numbers, and
composition—so many horse soldiers,
•0 many "heap walks." Unmolested,
the. squadron from Fort C. F. Smith.
th«» liig Horn River post, was permit
ted to retrace its steps. In fancied
•safe,ty, born of confidence in that woo-
derful now breechloader, the little
command at the (Jap was lulled to in
difference to their surroundings. Then
sending large numbers of his young
men to round up buffalo toward the
l'latte, but keeping still his stern and
vengeful eye upon the prey almost at
his feet, the red chief made liis final
and fatal plans.
There came a cloudless morning
when the cavalry troop escorted a
young officer up the rocky heights to
the west, tinding everywhere indica
tions of recent Indian occupancy, but
not a redskin barred their way. With
out opposition of any kind, without so
much as a glimpse of the foe, were they
permitted to climb to Signal Rock, and
from that point, with powerful glasses,
the officers swept the glorious range of
foothills, the deep valley of the Tongue,
the banks of the Piney and the Crazy
Woman, the far-spreading - upland
prairie rolling away like some heav
ing ocean suddenly turned to earth,
east and southeast to the dim horizon,
and there they saw, or thought they
saw, full explanation of their recent
freedom from alarm of any kind.
There to the south, full thirty miles
away., the land was overlaid by a dull,
heavy, dun-colored cloud, and trav
ersed by black streaks or blotches that
were recognized at once as running
buffalo. Red Cloud aiid his braves
then were drawn away in search of
other game, and, light of heart and
foot, the troopers trotted back to the
waiting stockade, to meet there late
that evening, as the weird tattoo of the
drums and fifes was echoing back from
the rocky heights, the first messenger
through in nearly fifteen days—a half
breed Sioux from a distant post along
the Platte, bearing a written message
from thecommanding officer at Frayne,
which the veteran commandant read
with infinite comfort:
"Seven companies of infantry and
three more troops of cavalry are on
the way and should reach you by Sat
urday week. The general seems thor
oughly alive to the situation, and we,
too, are hoping for orders to move out
and help you give that infernal old
scoundrel the thrashing he deserves.
All has been quiet hereabouts since
that one party made its dash on Hal
Folsom's ranch. Of course you know
the story of Lizette, and of course Red
Cloud must have known that Burning
Star was head devil in that enterprise,
though Chaska was the victim. I
take much comfort in the fact that it
was I who sent young Dean and his
troop round by way of the Laramie.
Folsom and his people would have
been murdered to a man if 1 hadn't,
and yet I hear that absurd old ass at
Emory put Dean in arrest for not
coming directly home. Pecksniff
should have been retired ten years
ago—for imbecility.
'"We had a tremendous storm in
the mountains to the south two days
ago and a courier has just galloped
out from Emory, inquiring for news
of Dean. It seems he was sent with a
big sum of currency for your quarter
master, and ordered to slip through
by way of Sweetwater, as Red Cloud
was known to be covering the direct
road. Somehow it leaked out before
he started, and a gang of desperadoes
gathered to jump him at Canyon
Springs. The storm jumped them, for
t<vo of their dead and a dozen horses
were rolled out on the flats. Dean
must have got through all right, for
The outer onea supported their comrade ia the
center.
Pat saw their trail fifteen miles above
us. Of course, he'll have to make
night marches; but, unless Red Cloud
gets wind of his coming and corrals
him, he should reach you almost as
soon as this. Michel, the bearer, has
your dispatches and orders. Retained
copies are here. Good luck, old man,
and nay we meet within the fort
night ar.d wind up Red Cloud once and
for all time."
This w as all, but more than enough.
Riding night and day in wide detour,
Michel had made his way to the late
ly beleaguered spot, and what he
brought was joyous news, indeed.
Within the coming week the post
would have no more to fear. Within a
day or two the contractors, then,
would have their money, and that
would tap the sutler's stores and joy
would reign supreme. Enviously the
soldiers eyed the artisans. Not for
weeks could their paymaster be looked
for, -while the funds for the civilians
might reach them on the morrow,
provided Red Cloud did not interfere,
lie couldn't and wouldn't, said the
commander, because he and his braves
were all off to the southeast, hunting
buffalo. He could and might, said
Michel that night at ten o'clock, aft
er taps had sent the garrison to bed,
for by the time he left Frayne there
were other riders up from Gate City,
and all the garrison had learned that
Lieut. Dean was taking something like
fifty thousand dollars in greenbacks
up to the Gap. with only ten men to
guard it, and Maj. Burleigh was wild
with anxiety lest he shouldn't get
through, and had been nearly crazy
since he heard of Dean's narrow es
cape at Canyon Springs. The officer
of the day who heard this story told
it, with the teller, to the post coit>
niander, and that veteran sat up
late and cross-questioned long. Mi
chel's English might be broken, but
not his statement. The last arrival

at Frayne before he left was one of
Maj. Burleigh's own men from Gate
City. He said the general and liis
staff were expected at Emory the
next day. investigating matters, for
old Stevens had got stampeded be
cause his sergeant major was assault
ed and old Folsom knocked out and a
drunken captain by the name of New
hall had been making trouble and it
had all told on Maj. Burleigh, who had
taken to his bed with nervous prostra
tion.
So, while the garrison went to rest
happy, the commanding oflicer waked
long," and finally slept soundly and
might have slept late, but that just at
dawn, full half an hour before the time
for reveille, there came a sharp knock
ing at the door of his log lint, and the
imperative voice of the officer of the
day:
"Colonel, colonel, I say! There's
sharp firing out here in the hills to
the south!"
The peaks to the west were just ting
ing with purple and red, reflected from
the eastward sky, and a faint light was
beginning to steal down into the deep
valley in which the cantonment lay
sleeping, when the veteran commander
came hurrying out, half dressed, and
hied him. with his attendant officer, to
the southern angle of the stockade.
There on the narrow ledge or platform
built under the sharp tops of the up
right logs, were grouped the silent,
grave-faoed guard, a dozen men, intent
ly listening. Thither presently came
running others of the officers or men,
suddenly awakened by sense of some
thing unusual going on. Far away
among the wooded heights to the
south, echoing from the rocky pali
sades to the west, could be heard the
pop, pop of distant musketry, punc
tuated sometimes with louder bang as
of large caliber rifles closer at hand.
Little time was there in which to
hazard opinion as to the cause. One or
two men, faint-hearted at the thought
of the peril of Indian battle and hope
ful of influencing the judgment of their
superiors, began the murmur of "big
hunt," "buffalo drive," etc., glancing
furtively at the colonel the while as
though to observe the effect. But an
imperative "Silence, you idiots!" from
the officer of the day put sudden end
to their conjectures. Only a moment
did the commander listen. Then, quick
and startling, came the order: "Sound
to arms!" and within the minute the
stirring peal of the cavalry trumpet
was answered by the hoarse thunder
of the snare drum, beating the long
roll. Out from their "dog tents" and
half-finished log huts came the be
wildered men. Often as the alarm had
sounded on the frontier there was a
thrill and ring about it this time that
told of action close at hand. Out from
the little huts, hurrying into their
frock coats and belting on their swords
as they glared about them for the cause
of the uproar, came the officers, old
and young, most of them veterans of
many hard-fought lields of the war
days—one or two, only, youngsters
fresh from the Point. At many a door
way and unglazed window appeared
the pallid faces of women and children,
some of them weeping in mingled
fright and distress, in front of the
log guardhouse the sergeant quickly
formed the two reliefs not on post.
On their designated parades the com
panies rapidly fell in, while stern
voiced non-commissioned officers re
buked the laggards and aided them
into their belts, and each first sergeant
took rapid note of his men. No need
to call the roll, a skulker would have
been detected and kicked into the ranks
at the instant. Over under the rough
board shelter of the quartermaster's
employes the workmen came tumbling
out in shirt sleeves, many of them run
ning to the nearest officer and begging
for a gun and a place in the fight, for
now the firing was loud and lively.
Down by the swift flowing stream the
tethered horses of the cavalry plunged
and neighed in excitement, and the
mules in the quartermaster's corral set
up their irrepressible bray. For five
minutes there was clamor, but no con
fusion. Then disciplined silence reigned
again, all but the nearing volleying at
the south. Presently, at rapid trot the
cavalry, some 50 strong, came clatter
ing up the stony trail from the stream
and with carbines advanced disap
peared through the main gateway in
a cloud of dust. Two companies were
told off toman the loopholes of the
stockade. Two others under the com
mand of a senior captain faced by the
right flank, and in double-quick time
dtinced a\ray in the wake of the cav
alry. Eagerly the watchers climbed
the wooden walls or to the tower of the
half-finished guardhouse, and, as the
red light strengthened in the east and
the mountain sides became revealed,
studied with their glasses or with
straining eyes the southward vista
througli the hills. They saw the troop
form line to the front at the gallop as
it swept out over the open ground 400
yards away, saw its flankers scurry
to the nearest shoulder of bluff, saw
theirexcited signals and gesticulations,
and presently a sheaf of skirmishers
shot forward from the advancing line
and breasted the low ridge 800 yards
out from the fort, and then there came
floating back the sound of ringing,
tumultuous cheer as the skirmishers
reached the crest and darted headlong
at some unseen object beyond, and aft
er them went the reserve, cheering too.
And now the sound of firing became
fierce and incessant, and messengerts
came galloping back to the commander
of the steadily advancing infantry, and
they, too, were seen to throw forward
heavy skirmish lines and then resume
the march. And then, down over the
ridge came a little knot of horsemen,
| made up of three men riding close to
? gether, the outer ones supporting be
| tween them the comrade in the center.
! Before they were within 400 yards the
young adjfftnnt, gazing through his
glasses at the colony's side, exclaimed:
"It's Dean—dead or wounded!" and
one of the surgeons rushed forward to
nie*t the party, "He's weak, sir, al
most gone from loss of blowd," ex
claimed Trooper Conroy, himself bleed-
ing from a gash along the cheek. A
faint smile drifted over the young fel
low's pallid face as the adjutant, too,
galloped up. A feeble hand indicated
the bulging saddle pocket. A faint
voice faltered: "There's SIO,OOO in that
packet. We had to fight our way
through," and then the brave blue eyes
closed and strong arms lifted the al
most lifeless form from the saddle as
Marshall swooned away.

REVELING IN COIN.
The I'lenmnt Pnatline of n Wealth?
Mewehnnt Who Went
I njin ne.
A Boston merchant of great wealth,
believing that certain symptoms indi
cated that he would become insane,
consulted a specialist, and under his
advice became an inmate of a private
asylum. For 12 years his recreation
was the piling up of gold coins and then
knocking them over, says Youth's Com
panion. At times he washed his handi
in gold eagles and half eagles. At the
end of the long seclusion he returned
to his counting-room and in 12 months
confirmed the thoroughness of his re
covery by making $500,000. He died of
yellow fever in Cuba, where he had
gone to look after his sugar planta
tion.
A similar passion for handling gold
coin is now and then exhibited by men
who suddenly become rich. George Au
gustus Sala, in his "Life and Adven
tures," tells of a London journalist who
speculated in railroad stocks. His first
venture netted him $5,000. Drawing it
in gold, he repaired to a hotel, emptied
the bags of gold in the bed and went
to sleep literally in the sands of Pac
to'.us. The man was so crazed by his
good fortune that he felt pleasure in
reveling in a golden bath.
Paganini, the wonderful violinist*
when he received the proceeds of hit
concerts —he insisted on being paid ip
gold—used to wash his hands in sov
ereigns.
A French novelist, Soulie, wrote a
book entitled "The Memoirs of the
Devil." It took; the publisher paid
him for the first volume SIO,OOO in
gold. The author carried the coin to
his bedroom, poured it into a foot-bath,
and enjoyed for half an hour the excite
ment of moving his feet to and fro in
a bath of gold coins, smoking, mean
while, the biggest of Havanas.
The love of money is one of the dan
gerous passions.
One Good Tarn.
Sir Henry Hawkins, who was raised
to the peerage as Baron Brampton
after a long term on.the criminal
bench, was a notable terror to evil
doers. Toward the close of his career
he happened to arrive at a railway
station, and was at once accosted by
a rough fellow who seemed very anx
ious to assist him in handling hi*
baggage.
Struck with his friendliness, Sir
Henry said: "You seem very desirous
of helping me, my friend."
"That's what I am, sir," replied the
man. "You see, sir, once you did me
a good turn."
"Yes?" asked the judge. "When
and where, pray?"
"Well," said the fellow, "it was
when ye 'ung Crooked Billy. Me an'
Billy onct was pals, but we fell out,
and Billy says as 'ow next time 'e
dropped eyes on me 'e'd do for mo
with a knife. I knowed Billy, and
knowed 'e do as 'e said; and so 'e
would, sir, if you 'adn't 'ung 'im in

turn, too, Sir 'Enry."—Youth's Com
panion.
Stupidity of Sheep.
The stupidest animal in the world
is a plain, everyday sheep. Farmers
are never done telling about their
stupid doings, productive both of an
noyance and financial loss. Here is a
specimen case. A valuable sheep was
missing, and after a long search the
owner concluded that it had been
killed by dogs. Some days later,
while looking under the barn floor,
he saw the missing animal in a salt
barrel. The barrel was lying on its
sick and the sheep had gone into
lick up the salt which adhered to the
sides of the barrel. Finding that it
could not goon through, it stopped,
and had been there seven days when
discovered, without food or drink.
And it would have stayed there until
it perished. All it had to do was to
back out of the barrel, but it hadn't
sense enough to do it.—Golden Days.
Only One Told the Truth
A countryman on a visit to Glas

street, reading the sign-boards and
the tickets in the shop windows, said
to his companion: "Hoo can a' thae

They continued along the street until,
coming opposite a plumber's shop
with a big bill in the window with
the words "Castirfwi Sinks" printed
in large letters on it, he exclaimed:

BEST SPRING MEDICINE.
The Palm Given to Dr. Greene's
Nervura.
That Crawl Jury, (lie People, Have So
Decided.
Used by Hundreds of Thousands in Spring
as a Blood Medicine.
Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy is indeed "the World's
Treat Spring Medicine." It has come
to be recognized by almost everybody
as the best possible spring medicine
to take, and hundreds of thousands
of our people use it during the dry
ing spring months, to tone up anew
the relaxed nerves, and re-invigorate
and enrich the blood.
A spring medicine is a necessity if
one wishes to keep in perfect health
and vigor during the changes from
winter to summer. This grand spring
tonic, this perfect spring medicine,
Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, is exactly what the system
needs at this season. It not only
purifies, but makes rich, red blood; it
not only strengthens and invigorates
the nervous system, but re-energizes
and revitalizes the nerves by feeding
them with renewed nerve force and
power. It is not only an aid to diges
tion, but it creates a regular, natural
and healthy action of the bowels, liv
er, kidneys, which in the spring are
always sluggish and inactive.
In fact, it is just what people need
to make them well and keep them well
during these months, so threatening
tothaliealth of all,and when it is con
sidered that Dr. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy is made en
tirely from pure, health-giving vege
table remedies, and that people give
it more testimonials of cure than any
other remedy on earth, no one can
doubt that it is the very best spring
remedy for everybody to use.
Mr. Gustave Lelbach, of 337 First
St., Jersey City, N. J., says:
"I'was troubled with sick headaches,
and could not sleep on account of the
pains in my head. I was suffering
night and day with dyspepsia, could
not eat anything, my stomach would
sour so. I had to starve myself to have
any ease. I had to give up work at
last, I was so nervous and miserable,
and I was falling away in flesh so that
my friends hardly knew me. I tried
several remedies, but without avail.
At last someone recommended Dr.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy. I tried one bottle and began to
improve. I started into eat all right;
then I picked up my health; my head
aches disappeared, and my weakness
and sour stomach went away. I used
three bottles, andcould sleep all night
with ease; I used six bottles, and felt
like a new man. I can now do a hard
day's work without any trouble, and I
am as happy as a bird in spring. I was
30 miserable, always suffering, always
in pain, but nowfl am like a new man."
Use Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedj' this spring, for it is the
discovery and prescription of a well
known physician, Dr. Greene, of 35
W. 14th St., New York City, who is
responsible for its beneficial action,
and who can be consulted free of
charge, personally or by letter.

The first strike of any importance
ever made on Pike's peak is the one

surface work has never disclosed any

the Oil Creek company has opened a
