A TRUE HELPMATE.
She was not fair, and yet she stood
A shining mark of womanhood.
She was not talented, forsooth.
She'd been a toiler from her youth.
Upon the wondrous stage of life
-the played lie part of farmer's wife.
And. IM- It said, with loving art
She always acted Well her part.
Her education was not such
As comes from keeping close In touch
With art and music, latest books;
Ltut ah! the fond maternal looks
She lavished on her girls and boys
Than college gifts were Hwecter joys;
And. be it said of her, she e'er
IJore brave her martyrdom of care.
Her life was lowly as the sod,
And yet she hand in hand with Ood
Walked through this vale of tears and
woe.
And now that winter sleet and snow
l.les drifted o'er her ♦rrave, I'd write
This epitaph for marble white:
■"Through sun and storm adown Life'*
road
She always shouldered half the load."

CHAPTEIt VIII.—CONTINUED.
"What captain?" yelled Kennedy,
all ablaze at the instant. "Spake tip,
ye shiver in' loon!"
"Hlake! He got way ahead of us
"Then it's to him you should be
runnin*, not home, ye cur! Turn
about now! Turn about or I'll "
And in a fury Pat had seized the
•other's rein, and, spurring savagely
at Kilmainc- both horses instantly
waking, as though responsive to the
wrath and fervor of their little mas
ter—he fairly whirled the big troop
er around and, despite fearsome pro
tests, bore him onward toward the
ridge, swift questioning as they rode.
How came they to send a raw rookie
on such a quest? Why, the rookie
gasped in explanation that he was on
stable guard, and the captain took
the first, six men in sight. How hap

pened it that the captain got so far
ahead of him? There was no keepin'
up with the captain, lie was on his
big, raw-boned race horse, cliasin'
three Indians that was flrin', and had
hit Meisner, but there was still three
of tlie troop to follow him, jind the
captain ordered "come ahead," until
all of a sudden, as they filed round
a little knoll the three Indians they'd
been chasm' turned about and let
'cm have it, mid down went another
horse, and Corporal Feency was killed
sure, and he, poor young rookie, saw
Indians in every direction, "comin'
straight at 'em," and what else could
lie do l»ul gallop for home and help?
All this, told vvilh much gasping <>n
his part, and heard with much blas
phemy by Kennedy, brought the
strangely assorted pair at a swift
gallop over the springy turf back
along the line of that panicky, yet
most natural retreat. Twice would
the big fellow have broken away and
again spurred for home, hut the lit tic
gamecoi k held him savagely to his
work, and so, together, at last they
neared the curtaining ridge. "Now,
damn you!" howled Kennedy, "Whip
out your carbine and play you're a
man till we see what's in front! an'
it ye play false, the first shot from
this barker," with a slap at the butt
of his Springfield, "goes through your
heart."
And this was what they saw as. to
gether, they rounded the hillock and
came in view oft lie low ground lie
beyond.
Half wny down the long, gradual
Hope, in a shallow little dip, possildv
an old iiull'iilo wallow, two or three
horses were sprii\vl<*d and a tiny
tongue of flume and blue smoke,
spitting over the broad, brown Imck*,
• old that siiuic one, ut lea i, wa- on
the alert and defensive. Out on the
prairie, :hmi yards beyond, a >■ potted
Indian pony. In >«t- up, wa , rolling mi
the turf, evidently sorely wounded,
Itehiml this rolling parapet crouched
a fen tin red warrior, and further still
away, sweeping and circling on their
Will' Millie steeds, three mot e savage
liiliu were darting at k|>CCl|, ,M
tlit- . miin« re
inforccmcnls, and wliilfi two seemed
frantically signalling toward t In*
northwest, the thiril whirled his
horse and sped madly away in thut
direction.
"Millions, he damned!" yelled Ken
nedy. "There's only three. Come on,
ye sent!" And dovv> they went, full
tilt, at the Sioux, yet heading to cover
and reach the beleaguered party in
the hollow. Some one of the besieged
waved a hat on high. Two more ear
bines barked their defiance at the
feathered foe, and then came a pretty
exhibit of savage daring and devotion.
Disdainful of tin* coining troopers anil
of the swift tire blazing at them from
the pit, the two mounted warriors
lashed their ponies to mad gallop and
bore down straight for their im
periled brother, crouching behind the
stricken "pinto." Never swerving,
never halting, hardly checking speed,
but bending low ovar and behind their
chargers' necks, the two young
braves swept onward, and with wild
whoop of triumph, challenge and
hatred, gathered tip and slung
behind the rider of the heavier
pony the agile and bedizened form
on the turf; then circled away, de
fiant, taunting, gleeful, yes and even
more:— With raging eyes Kennedy
sprang from saddle and, kneeling,
drove shot after shot at the scurrying
pair. Two of the troopers at tin; hol
low fullowed suit. Kven the big,
blubbering lad so lately crazed with
fear, nnslung his weapon and fired
tlirice into empty space, and a shout
of wrath and renewed challenge to
"come back and light it out" rang
out after the Sfoux, for to the amaze
of the lately besieged, to the impo
tent fury of the Irishman, in unmis
takable, yet mostly unquotable, Eng
lish, the crippled warrior was yelling
mingled threat and imprecation.
"Who was it Kennedy*.'- and where
did you ever see him before?" a mo
ment later, demanded ('apt. lllake,
almost before he could grasp the
Irishman's hands and shower his
thanks, and even while stanching the
flow of blood from a furrow along bis
sun-burnt cheek. "What's that he
said about eating your heart?"
And "Kennedy, his head cleared now
through the rapture of battle, mind
ed him of bis promise to Field, and
lied like a hern. "Sure, how should I
know, sorr? They're all of the same
spit."
"Hut be called you by name. I
heard him plainly. So did Meisner,
here," protested Hlakc. "Hello, what
have you there, corporal?" he added,
as young Feency, the "surely killed,"
came running back, bearing in his
hand a gaily ornamented pouch of
buckskin, with long fringes and heavy
crusting of brilliant beads.
"Picked it up by that pony yonder,
sir," answered the corporal, with a
salute. "Heg pardon, sir, but will the
captain take my horse? His is hit
too bad to carry him."
Two, indeed of Blake's horses
were crippled, and it was high time
to be going. Mechanically he took
the pouch and tied it to his waist
belt. "Thank God no man is hurt!"
lie said. "Hut —now back to Frayne!
Watch those ridges and be ready if
n feather shows, and spread out a lit
tle —don't ride in a bunch."
Hut there was bigger game miles to
the west, demanding all the attention
of the gathered Sioux. There were
none to spare to send so far, and
though three warriors-—one of them
raging and clamoring for further at
tempt despite his wounds—hovered
about the retiring party, Hlakc and
his fellows within another hour were
in sight of the sheltering walls of
Frayne; and, after a last, long-range
swapping of shots, with Hlakc and
Meisner footing it most of the way,
led their crippled mounts in safety
toward that Rubicon of the west—
the swift flowing Platte. They were
still three miles out when Hlake
found leisure to examine the contents
of that beaded pouch, and the first
thing drawn from its depths was
about the last a Christian would
think to find in the wallet of a Sioux—
a dainty lit lie billet,scented with wood
violet- an envelope of delicate tex
ture, containing a missive on paper
to mat-eh, and the envelope was ad
dressed in a strange, angular, char
acteristic baud that Hlake recognized
at once, to a man of whom, by that
name at least, lie had never heard
before:
"Mil. IIAI.I'II MOKEAU,
"En Ville."
('IIAI'TEU IX.
Sorely puzzled as Hlake had been
by the discovery, he had been able
on the long homeward march—
walking until in sight of Frayne
and safety, then galloping ahead on
the corporal's horse —to think it out,
as he said, in several ways. Miss
Flower had frequently ridden up the
valley and visited the Indian village
across the l'latte. Miss Flower
might easily have dropped that note,
and some squaw, picking it up, had
surrendered it to the first red man
who demanded 11, such being the do
mestic discipline of the savage. The
Indian kepi it, as lie would any other
treasure trove for which he had no
use, in hopes of reward for its re
turn, said Hlake. It was queer, of
course, that the Indian in whose
pouch it was found should have been
o fluent a speaker of English, yet
many a Sioux knew enough of our
tongue to swear volubly and talk ten
words uf vengeance to come. There
were several ways, as Hlake rea
soned, by which that letter might
have .t into the hands of tin- en
emy. Hut at any rate, with •■very
thing aid, ii wa- a woman's letter,
lie had no liiflit to read it, lie would
fir I eoiitlilc iu his wife, and, if she
saiil so, in Mr-. IJay. Then what

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6. 1903
I saddle; liis troop was afield; the foe
was in force on the road to the
north; tin- battle, may ha p, was on at
the very moment, and Frnyne and
home was no plaee for him when
duty called at the distant front.
Only, tlu-re was Nan, silent, trem
ulous, to he sure, and with such a
w arid of piteous dread and pleading
in her beautiful eyes. It was hard
to have to tell her he must go again
and at once, hard to have to bid her
itelp him in his hurried preparations,
when slie longed to throw herself in
his arms and be comforted, lie tried
to smile as lie entered the gate, and
thereby cracked the brittle, sun
dried court plaster with which a ser
geant had patched his cheek at the
stables. The would-be gladsome
grin started the blood again, and it
trickled down and splashed on his
breast where poor Kan longed to
pillow her bonny head, and the sight
of it, despite her years of frontier
training, made her sick and faint,
lie caught her in his left arm,
laughing gayly, and drew her to the
other side. "Got the mate to that
scoop of Itilly's," he cried, holding
forth his other hand to Mrs. Kay.
" 'Tisn't so deep, perhaps, but 'twill
serve, 'twill do, and I'll crow over
hint to-night. Come in with us, Mrs.
Hay. 1- I've something to show
you."
"One minute," said that wise young
matron. "Let me tell the children
where to find me. Sandy and Hilly
are on post at the telescope. They
wouldn't leave it even for luncheon."
With that she vanished, and husband
and wife were alone.
"You must go, Gerald," she sobbed
—"I know it, but —isn't there some
way?— Won't ('apt. Dade send more
men with you?"
"If he did, Nan, they'd only ham
per me with horses that drag behind,
lie brave, little woman. Webb has
swept the way clear by this time.
Come, I need your help."
And the door closed on the soldier
and his young wife. They never saw
that Nanette Flower, in saddle, was
riding swiftly tip the row, and, for
the first time since her coming to
Frnyne, without an escort. Dade re
appeared upon his front gallery in
time to greet her, but Esther, after
one quick glance, had darted again
within. Dade saw unerringly that
Miss Flower was in 110 placid frame
of mind. Her cheeks were pale; her
mouth had that livid look that robbed
her face of all beauty; but her eyes
were full and flashing with excite
ment.
"What news, captain?" she hailed,
and the joyous, silvery ring had gone
from her voice. "They tell me ( apt.
I'lako is back—two horses crippled,
two men hit, including himself."
"His own share is a scratch he
wouldn't think of mentioning outside
the family, Miss Flower," answered
Dade, with grim civility. lie had his
reasons for disapproving of the
young woman; yet they were not
such as warranted him in showing
her the least discourtesy, lie walked
to his gate and met her at the curb
beyond and stood stroking the arch
ing neck of her spirited horse—
"Harney" again.
"Did they—were there any Indians
—killed?" she asked, with anxiety
scarcely veiled.
"Oil, they downed one of tliem,"
answered the captain, eyeing her
closely the while and speaking with
much precision, "a fellow who cursed
them freely in fluent English." Yes,
she was surely turning paler. "A
hold, bad customer, from all ac
counts. Blake thought he must be
of Lame Wolf's fellows, because he—
seemed to know Kennedy so well and
to hate him. Kennedy has only just
come down from Fort lieecher,
where Wolf's people have been at
mischief."
"Hut what became of him? What
did they do with him?" interrupted
the girl, her lips quivering in spite
of herself.
"Oh—left him, I suppose," an
swered the veteran, with deliberate
design. "What else eould they do?
There was 110 time for ceremony.
His fellow savages, you know, can
attend to that."
For a moment she sat there rigid,
her black eyes staring straight into
the imperturbable face of the old
soldier. No one had ever accused
Dade of cruelty or unkindness to
man or woman, especially to woman;
yet here he stood before this suffer
ing girl and, with obvious intent, pic
lured to her mind's eye a warrior
stricken and left tinhuried or iiucared
for on the field. Whatever his rea
sons, he stabbed and meant to stab,
and for just one moment, she seemed
almost to droop and reel in saddle;
then, with splendid rally, straight
ened up again, her eyes Hashing, her
lip curling in scorn, and with one
brief, emphatic phrase ended the in
terview and, whirling Harney about,
smote him sharply with her whip,
and darted away:
"True!" she said. "Ci\ilized war
fare;"
"If that girl isn't more than half
savage," said Dade, to himself, as
llarney tore away out of the gar
rison on the road to the ford, "I
am more than half Sioux. Oh, for
jicws of Hay!"
Hay indeed! It was now nearly
four o'clock. Telegrams had been
coming niul going over the Laramie
wire. "The Chief," as they culled
their general, with onl.V one of bis
stall' in attendance, had reached
< lieyemie on time, anil, quitting 'be
train, declining dinner at the hotel
and having but a word or two with
the "I'latrorui ( iub" the little bevy

starlit nijflit. he should reach the old
frontier fort by ilawn at the latest,
and what news Mould Dade have to
send hint there? Not n word had he
uttered to either the officers who re
spectfully greeted, or reporters who
eagerly importuned, hint as to the
situation at l-'rayne; but men who
had served with him in Arizona and
on the Yellowstone many a year be
fore, knew well that grave tidings
had reached him. Dade had in fact,
supplemented Webb's parting dis
patch with another, saying that
Itlake's little party, returning, had
just been sighted through the tele
scope nine miles out, with two men
afoot. Hut not until the general
reached Lodge Pole creek did the
message meet him, saying that
Webb's advance guard could hear the
distant attack on Hay. Not until he
reached the Clingwater in the early
night could he hope to hear the re
sult.
It was nightfall when the awful
suspense of the garrison at Frayne
was even measurably lifted. Blake,
with three troopers at his back, had
then been gone an hour, and was lost
in the gloaming before Dr. Tracy's
orderly, with a face that plainly told
the nervous tension of his two hours'
ride, left his reeking, heaving horse
at the stables and climbed the steep
path to the flag-staff, the shortest
way to the quarters of the command
ing otlicer. Despite the gathering
darkness, lie hail been seen by a
dozen eager watchers and was del
uged with questions by trembling,
tearful women and by grave, anxious
men.
"There's been a fight; that's all I
know," lie said. "I was with the
pack mules and the ambulances and
didn t get to see it. .All I saw was
dead ponies way out beyond Ten
Mile ridge. Where's the major?—l
mean the captain?" No! the orderly
didn't know who was killed or
wounded, or that anybody was killed
and wounded. All he knew was that
Dr. Tracy came galloping back and
ordered the ambulances to scoot for
the front and him to spur every bit
of the way back to Frayne with the
note for (apt. Dade.
All this was told as he eagerly
pushed his way along the board
walk; soldiers' wives hanging 011 his
words and almost on him; officers'
wives and daughters calling from the
galleries or running to the gates,
and Dnde heard the hubbub almost
as quickly as did Esther, who hurried
to the door. By the light of the hall
lamp lite commander read the pen
ciled superscription of the gummed
envelope and the word "Immediate"
at the corner. The same light fell
011 a dozen anxious, pleading faces
beyond the steps. His hand shook
ill spite of himself, and he knew he
could not open and read it in their
presence. "One moment," he said, his
heart going out to them in syni
pathy as well as dread. "You shall
hear in one moment," and turned
aside into the little army parlor.
But he could not turn from his wife
and child. They followed and stood
studying bis pale face as be read the
fateful words that told so little, yet
so much:
"Reached Ray just In time. Sharp af

Giles, the shepherd of Folly farm,
was brushing the white ruff of his
SI,OOO collie. "The collie," he told the
Philadelphia iieeord, "is the most in
teresting of dogs. Permit me to tell
you ;t true collie story. There was a
Scottish shepherd, whose dog gave
birth to a litter of pups. All but one
of them died and the mother devoted
herself so thoroughly to tins sole re
maining child that her master's work
was ijiiite ucglected the sheep were
not looked after at all. The man, en
raged at this state of affairs, took
the pup and drowned it in a bucket
before its mother's eyes. Then he
went off to the town for the day. In
the evening, on his return, the
drowned pup was missing. The shep
herd said to his collie, pointing to
the bucket: "What did you do with
your pup, Bess?" The collie gave a
low, mournful howl and set oil', look
ing backward often to signify to her
master that he should follow. She led
him to a knoll and paused, moaning,
beside a spot where the earth had a
fresh look. The shepherd turned tip
the soil, und there beneath it the
drowned puppy lay. Its mother had
taken it out of the bucket and given
it a decent burial."

"11l these days," lie sighed, "it is

"How so?'' she asked.
"Why, if you tell her she is pretty,

is stupid; if you tell her she is clever
she its'iiiui's that you mean she is
