HIS EXPERIENCE.
Not lons' ago I seen a show
An heard a feller pop.
He talked a heap; seemed like he'd keep
Right on an' never stop.
Juki there 1 thought "That chap don't
court
The way 1 courted Belle."
Said 1 to her: "Well, what d'ye say?"
An' she made answer right away:
"I guess 1 mought as well."
That actor eliap he had on tap
The tallest kind o' talk;
Tie'd yell an' shout, an' all about
The stage he'd strut an' walk.
The way with us, we made no fuss
Our senterments to tell.
"Well, what d'ye say?" to her said I,
An' right away she made reply:
"I guess 1 mought as well."
I didn't 'low to her as how
My buzzom hotly burned;
I only sat an' watched her pat
The butter she'd just churned.
She looked so sweet an' smart an' neat
I hugged her for a apo'l.
An' then. Well, what d'ye say?" I said,
An' she said, blushln' rosy red:
"1 guess I mought as well."
It seemed to me that feller he,
Fer all his ftow'ry style,
Might have been showed some tilings I
kriowed;
His gassln' made me smile.
It don't take chin a gal to win;
I didn't stomp an' yell.
I said to Inr: "Well, what d'ye say?"
An' Belle, she spoke up right away:
"I guess I mought aa well."

CHAPTER XII.— CONTINUED.
Then followed a thrilling battle for
life- two red enemies now enrolled
against the blue. "Fight fire with
fire" is the old rule of the prairie.
Ray had promptly met the oncoming
nwccp of the torrent by starting a
smaller blaze that should at least
clear the surface close at hand, and,
l>y eating off the fuel, stop, possibly,
the progress of the greater flame.
But. the minor blaze bad also to be
stopped lest it come snapping and de
vouring within the grove. It, is no
easy matter to check a prairie fire
against a prairie gale when every
human aid is summoned. It is des

BLANKET, HE SMOTE THE FRINGE
OF FLAME.
perate work to try to check one when
to the fires of nature are added the
furious blaze of hostile arms, every
rifle sighted by savage, vengeful foe.
■"Check it, lads, ten yards out!" shout
ed Ray to his gallant fellows, now
lost in the smoke, while he again
rushed across the front jto meet the
•charging Sioux. With his brave
young face all grime, Field was al
ready at work, guiding, urging, aid
ing his little band. "Both hands!
Both hands!" he cried, as, wielding
his folded blanket, he smote the
fringe of flame. "Stamp it out! Great
God! Wing, are you hit?"
For answer, the sergeant by his
side went plunging down, face fore
most, and little Trooper Denny, rush
ing to aid his young officer in the ef
fort, to raise the stricken man, as
suddenly loosed his hold and, to
gether again, these two sworn com
rades of many a campaign lay side
by side, as they had lain in camp and
bivouac all over the wide frontier,
and poor Denny could only gasp a
loyal word of warning to his oilicer.
"Get back, sir; for God's sake, get
back!" ere the life blood came gush
ing from his mouth. Bending low,
Field grabbed the faithful fellow in
his strong arms and, calling to the
ncarmost men to look to Wing, bore
his helpless burden back through
stifling smoke clouds; laid him on the
turf at the foot of a Cottonwood, then
ran again to the perilous work of
fighting- the flame, stumbling midway
over another prostrate form. "Both
bands! Both hands!' he yelled as
again his blanket whirled air; and
so, by dint of desperate work, the in-
Jier line of flame at last was st..;-'d,
but every man <>f the gallant litti*.
squad of fire-fighters had paid the
penalty .of his devotion and felt the
sting of hissing lead—Field last of
all. Westward now, well-nigh 100
yards in width, a broad, liluck, smok
ing ji.'Kch stretched across the path
way of the swift-coining wall of
.vvf.okr. AT7.J flame, a safeguard to the
beleagured command worth all tlit*
soldier sacrifice it cost. In grand and
furious sweep, the scourge of tiie
prairie sent its destroying line across
the wide level to the sotitli of the
sheltering grove, but in the blood and
sweat of the heroic men the threaten
ing (lames of the windward side had
sputtered out. The little garrison
was safe from one, at least, of its
dread and merciless foes, though five
of its hest lay dead or dying, and
others still sore stricken, in the midst
of the smoking grove.
"Field, old boy," said Hay. with
brimming eyes, as he knelt and
clasped the hand of the bleeding lud,
while the Sioux fell back in wrath
r.nd dismay from the low-aimed,
vengeful fire of the lighting line,
"this means the Medal of Honor for
you, if word of mine can fetch it!"
CHAPTER XIII.
To say the Sioux were furious at
the failure of their second attempt
would be putting it far too mildly.
The fierce charge from the northward
side, made under cover of the blind
ing smoke sent drifting by the gale
across the level fiats, had been pushed
so close that two red braves and
half a dozen ponies bad met their
death within Co paces of the rific pits.
There lay the bodies now, and the
Indians dare not attempt to reach
them. The dread, wind-driven flame
of the prairie lire, planned by the
Sioux to burn out the defense, to
serve, as their ally, had been turned
to their grave detriment. Kay and
his devoted men had stopped the
sweep of so much of the conflagration
as threatened their little stronghold,
but, ranging unhampered elsewhere,
the seething wall rolled on toward the
east, spreading gradually toward its
flanks, and so, not only consuming
vast acres of bunch grass, but check
ing the attack that should have been
made from the entire southern half
of the Indian circle. Later, leaping
the sandy stream bed a little to the
west of the cottonwoods, it spread in
wild career over a huge tract along
the lefl bank, and now, reuniting with
the southern wing some distance
down the valley, was roaring away
to the bluffs of the Mini Pusa, leaving
death and desolation in its track.
Miles to the east the war parties from
the reservation, riding to join Lame
Wolf, sighted the black curtain of
smoke, swift sailing over the prairie,
and changed their course accordingly.
Not so many miles away to the south
Webb's skirmishers, driving before
them three or four Sioux scouts
from the northward slope of the
Moccasin Ridge, set spurs to their
horfces and took the gallop, the main
body following on.
Witli then eyelids blistered b'<
heat and smoke, Ray's siJcilt, deter
mined little band eodid see noth
ing of this coming force, yet knew
relief was nigh; for, close at hand,
both east and west, large bodies of
tiie enemy could be seen swift riding
away to the north.
Tlicy had hoped, as Fox had planned
and promised, to burn out and over
whelm the little troop at the grove
before the column from Frayne
could possibly reach the spot. They
had even anticipated the probable
effort of the command to check the
flames, and had told off some 50
braves to open concentric fire on any
party that should rush into the open
with that object in view. They had
thought to send in such a storm of
lead, even from long range, that it
should daunt and drive back those
who had dared the attempt. They
had stormed indeed, but could
neither daunt nor drive back. Ray's
men had braved death itself in the
desperate essay, and, even in dying,
had won the day.
But their losses had been cruel.
Three killed outright; three dying
and eight more or less severely
wounded had reduced their fighting
strength to nearly .'lO. The guards
of the sorrels, herded in the stream
bed, had all they could do to con
trol the poor, frightened creatures,
many of them hit, several of them
felled, by the plunging fire from the
far hillsides. Even though driven
back, the Sioux never meant to give
up the battle. On every side, leav
ing their ponies at safe distance, by
dozens the warriors crawled forward,
snakelike to the edge of the burned
and blackened surface, and from
there poured in a rapid and most
harassing lire, compelling the de
fense to lie flat oT burrow further,
and wounding many horses. The half
hour that followed the repulse of
their grand assault had been sorely
trying to the troop, for the wounded
needed aid, more men were hit, and
there was no chance whatever to hit
back. Moving from point to point,
Ray carried cheer and courage on
every side, yet was so constantly ex
posed as to cause his men fresh anx
iety. Even as he was bending over
Field a bullet had nipped the right
shoulder-strap, and later another had
torn through the crown of his cam
paign hat. In all the years of their
frontier fighting they had never
known a hotter fire; but Ray's voice
rang out through the drifting vapor
with the same old cheer and confi
dence. '"They can't charge again till
the ground cools off," he cried.
"Ily that time they'll have their
hands full. See how they're scudding
away at the southward even now.
.Tust keep covered and you're all
right." And, barring a growl or two
from favored old hands who sought
to make the captain take his own
medicine and himself keep covered,
the answer was full of cheer.
"Send six of your men over to the
south front, sergeant," were Ray's or
ders to Winsor, as he Hurried over to
join Clayton again. "They maj try
one final charge from that side, and
give us a chance to empty a few
more saddles." Creeping and crouch
ing through the timber, the chosen

station* under Clayton's p\e. The
precaution was wise, indeed, for, just
us ilic captain foresaw, a rally in
force began far out over the south
ward slopes, the Indians gathering' iti
great numbers about gome chieftain
midway between t liv coming force
and the still beleagured defenders of
the grove. Then, brandishing lance
and shield and rifle, as before, they
began spreading out across the prai
rie, heading now for the eottonwoods,
while others still faced and tired on
the far blue skirmish line. The fierce
wind, sweeping across the direction
of the attack, deadened all sound of
hoof or war chant, but there was no
mistaking the signs, no doubt of the
intent, when, in a little moment more,
the earth began to tremble beneath
the dancing pony feet, telling, almost
with the swiftness of sight, that the
grand advance had begun. But other
eyes were watching, too. Other sol
diers, keen campaigners as these at
the Elk, were there afield, and almost
at the moment the wild barbaric
hoard burst yelling into their eager
gallop, and before the dust cloud hid
the ilistant. slopes beyond, the exult
ant shout went up from the captain's
lips, as he threw down his glass and
grabbed his carbine, "It's all right,
men! The major's at their heels.
New let 'em have it!"
Now, with heavier losses than had
befallen Wayne in '7O, Kay's command
beheld with almost tranquil hearts
the coming of the fierce array in tinal
charge, liehind them, not two miles,
to be sure, rode in swift, well-ordered
pursuit, the long line of comrade
troopers. But there had been inter
vening' years of campaign experiences
that dulled to a degree the earlier
enthusiasms of the soldier, and
taught at least the assumption of pro
fessional composure that was'the se
cret wonder of the suckling trooper,
and that became his chief ambition
to acquire. It is one thing to charge
home at hard-fighting command when
friends and comrades back the effort
and cheer the charging line. It is an
other to charge home conscious that
other chargers are coming at one's
heels. Magnificent as a spectacle,
therefore, this closing dash of Lame
Wolf's warriors was but a meek re
minder of their earlier attack. Long
before they came within 400 yards of
the leafy stronghold—the moment, in
deed, the brown Springfields began
their spiteful bark—to right and left
the warriors veered, far out 011 either
flank. Screeching and yelling as was
their savage way, they tore madly by,
flattened out I against their ponies'
necks, and, those who could use their
arms at all, pumping wild shots that
whistled harmless over the heads of
the UelVnders and bit the blackened
prairie many a rod beyond. Only jeers
rewarded the stirring spectacle—jeers
and a few low-aimed, sputtering vol
leys that brought other luckless
ponies to their knees and sprawled a
few red riders. But in less than five
minutes from the warning cry that
hailed their coming, Lame Wolf and
his hosts were lining Elk Tooth ridge
and watching with burning hate and
vengeful eyes the swift-steady advance
of Webb's long blue fighting line, and
the utter unconcern of the defense.
Even before the relieving squadron
was within carbine range certain of
Kay's men had scrambled out upon
the northward bank and, pushing for
ward upon the prairie, were possess
ing themselves of the arms and orna
ments of the two dead warriors whom
the Sioux had striven ill vain to reach
and bear within their lines. Kay and
Clayton at the moment were strolling
placidly forth upon the southward
"fencli" to receive and welcome the
little knot of comrades sent galloping
in advance to greet them. There was
perhaps just a suspicion of exaggerat
ed nonchalance about their g'ait and
bearing-—a regimental weakness, pos
sibly—and no other officer save Lieut.
Field happened to be within earshot
when Winsor's voice 011 the other
front w*.s heard in hoarse command:
"Come back there, you fellows!
Back, or you're goners!"
The sight had proved too much for
some of the Sioux. Down again at
furious speed came a scattered cloud
of young' braves, following the lead
of the tall, magnificent chief who had
been the hero of the earlier attack—
down into the low ground, never
swerving or checking pace, straight
for the grove, the three or four in
quisitive bluecoats in the meantime
scurrying for shelter; and the yell
that went up at the sight of the In
dian dash and the quick reopening
of the sputtering lire brought Kay,
running once again to the northward
edge of tin; timber, wondering what
could be amiss. Field was lying on
his blanket, just under the bank, as
the captain darted by, and grinned
his gratification as he heard the brief,
assuring words: "Webb's here—all
hands with him." An instant later a
bullet whizzed through the roots of
the old cottonwood above his head,
and from far out atield, deadened by
the rush of the wind, a dull crackle
of shots told that something had re
called the Sioux to the attack, and
for three minutes there was a lively
fusillade all along the northward side.
Then it slowly died away, and other
voices, close at hand—someone speak
ing bis name—called the lad's atten
tion. lie was weak from loss of blood,
and just a little dazed and flighty.
He had meant three hours agone that
when lie next encountered his post
commander his manner should plainly
show that senior that even a second
lieutenant had rights a major was
bound to respect. But, only mistily
now he saw bending over him the
keen, soldierly features—the kind,
winsome gray eyes, filled with such
a world of concern and sympathy—
and beard the deep, earnest tones of
the voice he knew so well, calling
again his name and mingling cordial
praise and anxious inquiry, and all
I lie rancor seemed to float away with
tin' smoke of the last carbine shots,
iir: could only faintly return the pres
fcUie of that firm, muscular hand,
only feebly smile his thanks and re
assurance, and then, he, too, seemed
floating away somewhere into space,
and he could not manage to connect
what Webb had been saying with tha
next words that fastened on his tru
ant senses. It must have been hours
later, too. for darkness had settled |
1 u the valley. A little lire was burn- j
ing under the shelter of* the liank, A
little group of soldiers were »hatting
in low tone, close at hand. Among j
them, his arm in a sling, stood a j
stocky little chap whose face, seen 1
in the flickering light, was familiar 1
to him. So was the eager Drogue in <
which that little chap was spt&king. I
A steward was remonstrating, and
only vaguely at first, Field grasped
tin- meaning of his words:
"The captain said you were not to
try to follow, Kennedy, at least not
until Dr. Waller saw you. Wait till '
he gets here. He can't be three miles
back now."
"To hell wid ye!" was the vehement
answer. "D'ye think I'd be maund
lierin' here wid the whole command
gone on afther thim bloody Sioux?
I've made my mark on wan o' thiro.
an' he's the buck I'm afther."
"He's made a mark on you. Ken- '
nedy," broke in a soldier voice. I
"Vou mad fool, trying to tackle a
chief like that—even if he was hit, ,
for he had his whole gang behind j
him."
"Sure he dared me out, an' what's
this he called me? —a d d thafe!— !
rne that niver "
"Oh, shut up, Kennedy," laughed a
brother Irishman. "You were full a*
a goat at 'K* troop's stables—
Whcre'd ye get the whisky if "
"I'll lay you, Lanigan, when I get
t\\o hands agin, though I misdoubt
wan would do it. It's me horse I
want now and lave togo on wid the
capt'n. Keady now, sir," he added,
with sudden change of tone and man
ner, for a till, slender form came
striding into the fire light, and Field
knew Blake at the instant, nnd would ;
have called but for the first word
from the captain's lips.
"Your heart's safe, Kennedy. 1
wish your head was. Your past mas- !
ter in blasphemy out there won't eat
it, at all events."
"Did ye get him, sorr—afther all?"
"I didn't. His English spoiled my J
aim. 'Tvvas Winsor shot him. Now, |
j ou're to stay here, you and Kil
maine. The doctor may bring dis- j
patches, and you follow us with the I
first to come." An orderly had led 1
forth a saddled horse, and Blake'a
foot was already in the stirrup.
"They say it was Ked Fox himself,
Kennedy," he added. "Where on
earth did you meet him before?"
"Sliure, I niver knew him, sorr," 1
was the quick reply, as Blake's long, |
lean leg swung over the big charger's
back and the rider settled in saddle.
"But he knew you perfectly well. ;
He dared you by name when we closed
on them—you and Mr. Field."
And when an hour later the veteran 1
surgeon came and knelt by the side ;
of the young officer reported seri
ously wounded, and took his hand and ,
felt his pulse, there was something in !
the situation that seemed to call for
immediate action. "We'll get you
back to Frayne to-morrow, Field,"
said Waller, with kind intent. "Don't
—worry now."
"Don't do that, doctor," feebly, sur
prisingly moaned the fevered lad.
"Don't take me back to Frayne!"

Perhaps it only "happened so," but
anyway these friends were always
well to do, and Mr. Lufkin never un
hitched the old horse to drive home
without finding, tucked away in the j
wagon, something in return fully as
valuable as his tribute of vegetables,
if not more so.
The neighbors noticed that he al
ways left his little remembrances
with people who were "well fixed." So !
one day, when eggs were away up
in price, and he was starting to town ;
with a lot of fresh ones for a certain
friend, some one said to him curious
ly:
"Why don't you give those eggs to
some poor family?"
