Xo more "tepx-e counts;" on the contrary heads of families paraded their entire force, and while enumerators with look and ieucil went along the front of the line.

Xow the shrinkage came to lie privation, and, turning in appeal to the general w ho headed the great commission and won their faith, appealing to tYook for the remedies congress had utterly failed to provide, their hearts were bowed with the tidings that the Great Spirit had summoned the "Gray Fox" to happier hunting grounds. Then was there no other apieal? One one which had never failed to wring from the government the concession de sired. Old chiefs might plead in vain, but the Lloo-J of the young warriors is hot and strong, the lust for reputation as vehement as of yore. Every brave stood rii for action, and no Indian leader ever equaled iu craft, in cunning, in ailroitness the scowling old sinner Sitting Bull, and no man need doubt that it was he who gave the cue. Every medicine man in the Dakota Nation le gan to preach the coming of the Mes siah, bnt the Mcsshil fnae was t,nly the means to an end.

Br.t even to such a saviour, when urged by charlatans in every village, the su I"er!Ut'ns nature of the red man turned in eager adulation, and the gliastly, mad dening dance went on. Night after night all over the broad northwest the skies were aglow ivjta the Indian fires. The vault of the heavens tcivjed to the sound of frenzied shriek and yell end the furious beat of the Indian drum. It is bat a step from the ghost dance to the K-nip dance from Indiau worship to Indian war. A year ago iu every valley tA loauliful South Dakota cattle were browsing on the bunch grass, settler plowing on the plains.women sewing and singing under the new raised rooftreos, and gleeful children playing in the golden heap of corn.

Fit, certainly, for any amount of te-out-ing or fightjng on the sonthern plains, and yet titteily unprepared for the rigors e.f a Dakota itit- r.

Farqnhar decided it l-st not to let any of the women worry over a possibility. No r-se KoTowing trouble he said. Long years had the regiment served ia that wintry laud Fierce and ine-essant had lx-e-n its campaigns c.g.nnst the Indians. Diro had bee'u its sr.flVr lugs and looses. Only recently .'n!;. within ti year had they re.:c!:ed tliir paradise, with its hazy hindrx-ape. it? lovely, I'caceful homes, its kir.illrnes; and gre tinrr yet warm in remembrance the edge f its cheer still new and tin worn. Au.l then Kenyon came lack from leave, a burly major of foot who had Ix-en visiting at his old home iu Chicago and was reported to lx- wearing the wil low for a girl who had bnt just married a men' tumor first Iieuieuatit in the Eleventh, their predecessors along this line-. It might lx? that Kenyon was cross and crabU-d.

He and Itolfe were e'on genial rpirits. said the lxys. for "both of them got left," But lienyoa, close mouthed as he was at t ime-s. had watched things a day -r two and then had given Farqnhar a "pointer." He had beard some-thing, ie said, at division head quarters. Hence tlie order for "turn out everylxxly, field kits and fifty rounds." The madde-st man at mess at one-thirty was Mr. Carroll Brewster "Curly B" Lis comrades called him in the years gone by, when he had much kink to the blond liair of his handsome head, and not a vestige thereef to the down on his lip. Now, as first liente-nant of the "Black Tr.x-.p," with a mnstache all bristle ami curl, and with a jate where on the curls were crop;x-d to rvgr.!atin line-s, he was a very different sort of fel low. All the morning long he had sal on a garrison court, where as "swi'-i member" he had uot enough to do to keep him from brooding over his wix-s. He had counted on sending the hours from two nntil stables tasking in the light of those wonderful, ele-ep, dark eyes of Miss Winifred BeTrie'n. Some what ix-tted andspoile-d in his earlier years of servi-e, Brewster had had lutu-h of the nonsense kntx-ked nt ef him in the harsh exirionces ef seven years in the saddle with a regiment renowned for its touch-and-go sort tf werk. He hail ste-adied greatly in tbe years, part of the prK?ess being duo to bis own latent good sense, and not a little thereof to ine-essant striving on the range to win high honors as a sharjishcoter, and to day the-re was not a finer looking soldier wearing the broad yellow stripes in the Twelfth than this same ex-dandy "Cur ly Brewster." There still lingered about Liui a cer tain repute for self cemsciousness, if uot for actual conceit, but he bad grown to be theironghly respected in the re-gi-ment and was vastly popular with the wen. He was ever rauly to umpire their matches at baseball, coach tke-tr shKting, lend his own fishing tackle or shotguns to longing sportsmen in the ranks who had none of their own, and he bad won the lasting gratitude of C troop, two of whose men were being mobbed by a gang of toughs one windy night in Sheridan City, just as Curly came trotting tack en route to itie post. "He was off Lis : horse and into that crowd quicker than winking," said Murphy, "and the way be laid over that gang with them white fists of his just nade my side's crack with delight." Ho had mere sense than they gave him credit for, said the sen iors" of the regiment after a while, and, j tarring an early experience, a cadet love affair that ko was lemg ago well over, had never let himself go again never until the Twelfth came to settle in this bapry valley and Winifred Ber rien returned from her eastern school. Then he went all of a sudden. Only one man did not e it; that was Berrien. Only one woman couldn't forgive Lis ek-votion, and the had no business inter fering, Ix-ing herself otherwise dis JMJSed of. To his credit be it said, Brewster and the lady's hrsband were about the only men who aprwed unaware of this au tumnal infatuation. Nevertheless, in those numberless ways in which women can claim and secure the apiarance, at least, of atfntiero from men, the dame had managed to monopolize consider able of bis spare time tip to the week of Miss Berrien s coming, after which it was not he w ho rode to town, but she who drove out to the ist and sent for him to come and talk to her as 6he leaned back in her stylish victoria and looked up at him from under her tinted lashes. She could have found it in her heart to strangle the lovely girl so dark ly, richly beautiful, but her call npon "the ladies" had been returned when she was conspicuously absent from home, and opportunities for meeting were not afforded by the damsel's par ents. There were girls at the post who were quick to see how "Autiuons" had lost his heart; bat these, those at least who were near enough to Winifred to dare allude to the matter at all. were content to archly juote the warning Chance the iiaine and not the letter, Slurry for worse anil not for better. There was one man with whom Brew ster was at odds, a sentiment due to an old difference when lxjth were yonnger, end that was Ilolfo. There was one man the gallant piajor espechuly Jiked and swore by, ami that w-is tfolfe. These facts, added to tho coincidence that the captain ha 1 never forgotten the hot words used by bis second lieutenant long years before, made a combination most unfortunate for a fellow so much ia love as was Carroll Brewster. On tlii-j particular morning b5 had striven to h'trry matters through on tho court to try three er four cases where the accused were only VjO ready to plead guilty and "throw- themselves on the mercy," etc., and then adjourn on the scions plea ef giving the judge advo cate time to writo up the proceedings. But tiiu president of the tribunal had other views and h M him. Brewster knew that Randolph and Hunt aud Hidge'way, irhaps others, bad taken advantage of the weather and no drill to slip over to Berrien's for a blithe morning hour with the girls. He could imagine that pretty parlor, with its pic tures and piano, its atuactive curtains ami portieres, the group of bright, sweet faces, the animated chat, Winifred her self, in her dark, rich Ixauty, seated at the phiioo, with liidgeway hanging over he-r, eager to tnrn the leaves, eager to do anything that might keep him at her side. Confound the fellow! he had money and a handsome old family home stead. What business had he roughing t ju fhe cavalry, with no end ejf chances of getting hU head knocked off, when his doting mother vk so eager to have him come home, marry, settle down and take up the management of the projx-rty his father had teft him two years be iforei fVr "Curly!" he could only gaze wistfully put m.?css the dripping parade from bis seat in the dark courtroom and watch the glinting ,ef the firelight W the Berriens parlor w indow. The major lovd 5 broad fireplace and a hickory blaze, and here l;e had them to Jijs heart's content for the first time iu fuij t"enty years ef army wanderings. Uow inu.-t that firelight enhance the coziness and comfeirt of fhe scene with in! Hour must it Ixj flickering alxjnt the dark masses of her lustrous hair at this very moment! How "How tlo you vote, Brewster? Are your wits wool gathering?" He pulled himself together as best he conld, but that was a morning of tor- And jiow It) flunk that, after all, he could Lave no uu-iut-i-t at her side this day! To thitk that Fanpjhar should have ordered them out for hours of pot tering around at saddlebags, nosebags, side lines, lariats, picket pins and ail that sort of truck! It was simply bar barous. He curbed his tongue as well as b kne-w how, for plainly be saw that his chums jvere mise-hievemsly exulting over him, but any one who knew Brew ster could 6c Lis wrath aud dLscenn fiture. The Hnnoutu'dinent was made just lx fore luncheon was over. The ad jutant came bolting in with the order, and shutting his e-ars to the chorus of expletives. "What time lid yon say lxxits and saddles would sonnd'r" fiercely demanded &audolph. "In a quarter ef an hour; so you've no time to waste saying swear words er asking damn fix.l questions. And as fi r yeu, Curly, you're for guard tntiuirrow.7 Brewste-r finishenl his cup ejf tea iu aa undignified gulp, quitting the table and ;bjerixim in thre-e trids. There was jusi time t scurry over to Berrien's nd se-o her for five minutes lx fore he had to jump back to his quarters and into riding lxxts, etc. Any pretext, would nnswer th dance tonight, for instance. "Get my field rig ready t raw find bring my horse tip here in ten minutes." he called to his servant, t dashed at his natty uniform with a whik broom nnd Ixmnded out e.f the eloor, only to en counter the laati e.f all others Le hast cared to see coining in. 'Were you just going, Bicwster? Then is a matte r I want very much to ask ye.u nlxmt, and I thought this the time to catch you without fail." The voice was that of Captain Rolfe. "I am just going out. captain, and Fin hurried, but if you will ste-p ia I'll be back jn ten minutes." 'WelLJ, ordinarily, I would not de tain you, atid-d, jiardon pie, if you verg going to Major Berrien's, they are all at luncheon. I bare jn.st left there." Brewster finh-d in spite of his effort at control. His first impulse was to say he was going over anyhow, if only to leave weird, but, sine-e he could not hpe to see her, what was the use-? It chafed him, however, to note that Kolfe, ia that calmly superior way of Lis, was pressing on into the hall, as much as to say, "It is my will that you give np what you have in view and attend at eme'e to my behest," just as thong!i Brewste-r were still his second lieutenant, inste'ad of First Lieutenant Brewster, commanding the "Black Horse" troop. It must be confes.-4'd that there was about Rolfe an intangible something that ever seeme4 t give that itnptvssion to the juniors. It was one of the things that set their teeth on edge, as they expressed it, ani Kt them against him. Feeling as he dil toward the c:-p'ain and exasperated at the way in which events seemed coalpit's ing against him, Brewster threw open his dixir. "Walk in, as I said, captain. Make remrself at home. I wish to go into Haddock's a moment, and will be right back." It wasn't that be had anything to say to Haeldoek, but Haddock had succeeded him as se-ceiud lieutenant of Ri dfe's trexp. and was uo fouder of bis 1 tern, bt-lf willed commander th:i Cur ly himself had bee-n. It was simply that he would not yield a nnral victory to Kolfe, and that in naming Haddock be knew he gave at least a slight re-turn for the annoyance afforded him by the captain's untimely calL Giving no sign whatever as Brewster sjpmgaway down the stops the captain parsed on into the plainly furnishe-d sitr ting room. Already McCann was busy hauling out the lieutenant's field hoots, breeches and overcoat, whisking off the dust and indulging in Milesian comment as be did so. At sight of Rolfe be abrupt- ceased, bustled forward and fferetl tae captain a chair, and a mo ment later bolted across tho hall to per form similar services iu overhauling and dusting Mr. Randolph's possessions. Left to himself, Rolfe wearily turned to tho mantel, and without show of in terest glanced over the various photo graphs there displayed. They were I mainly of army friends, young leilows iu whom he felt slight interest at any time and none at all now. So were thosO in the basket on the round tablo. Brew ster was popular, if one were to jndge by tho array of pictures that had been sent to bim by thtir prototypes. Then there was a large, handsome album lying open on the de-sk near the window. Turning listlessly thither Rolfe gave a fchrug -f the shoulders, something al most like a shudder, at sight of the pho- j tograph which lay npix rmost, a cabinet portrait, highly burnished and finisheil, of an exuberant woman in evening dress. In that neighborhood everybody knew her by sight. He himself bad received invitations in her hand to lunch or to dinner. He knew the writing of the note that lay beside the album, first page uppermost. He would have had no eyes at all had he not seen tho "Carroll, uon ami," with which it began. With a shiver of disgust he whirled over a page of the album, as though to cover and hide the beguiling fae-e, the betraying words, and then Brewster came bound ing back and in. Rolfe's baud was still on the album as he turned to face bim. The eves of the two uicn met. and again Brewster flushed hotly. He re laeinbered that only in the morning's mail had the large packet arrived con taining this nnasked for and ntiexix-cte'd addition to bis portrait gallery. He had not ojx-ned it until after court had not more than glanced at the photograph even then, beautiful as it was from an artistic point of view. Then that note, and that idiotic, semiseutimental begin ning! She bad never called him Car roll, but in certain evasive, insinuating, jn well, we have no word for it iu all thw vocabulary of the United States in a way he could pot but see and could not find a way to object to, she had been lately verging in that direction. It w as, fow, Mr, Carroll Brewster," or "my gr4 friend Carroll," pr ''Sir Carroll," or in some way Carroll; but h-.-re was an out and out Carroll, tho first of tho kind, A month before he might not have flinched; now be shrank from the pie-re idea of familiarity of the faintest kind. He had been striving to cut loose from her in every possible way, but hers was a friendship that "clung closer than a brother," and just as sure as shooting Rolfe must have seen that infernal pic ture, those misleading words. Brewste-r re-ad it iu Rolfe's calm brown eyes, but be would r.et divuss matters with bim, much less stoop to explain. "You wish to see ma, captain. Will yon take a seat':" ' "No.' What I have to ask need occ r;.y but little tim, and the call will sound in a moment or two. I am efnir.g to ask you a question, and as man to mn:i 1 want you to answer it." He pansed, as thongh awaiting submissive re ply. i.'And the question'" asked Brewster, finally and unyielding. was in hopes yon would cTpBm1 if a re-adiness to answer. Wh jcver have beini the differences between us i;i the !aaf, you can never accuso mo of having pried into your nfTairs, and the question 1 wish to ask is one of dee-p im portance to myself, and its answer can not, I believe, unpleasantly involve yon." And still Brewster stoexl silent, tho blue eyes looking straight into the brown. "I will not prolong matters unm-cessa-fii'. What I de-sire to know, Mr. Brew ster, is this: Have you or have yon not some knowledge of tho past history t.f Sergeant Ellis;" "Pardon me, Captain Rolfe, but I do not see how that can concern you in the least." "I have stated FaVistantially that it did," was the qniet reply, after n mo ment's thought, fit concerns me very deeply. I need to know something it bis antecedents. have reason to ask, and I repeat my question." There was a painful iause. Tbci Prr-vvste r spoke firmly: 'Captain Rolfe, jt js a question I re fuse to answer." (-jittlticd yrtrt UW.-.) Spiders in History.
