But railways and telcgraidis have
brought all this, or much of it, within
range, to to tpcak. Things kavo
changed, ex-ept iierliai htunan nature,

heads of families paraded their entire
force, and while enumerators with
look and ieucil went along the front
of the line. Uncle Sam's blueeoats on the
border keenly watched the rear and put
sudden stop to all sham and swapping.
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

white man at odds w ith his own kind,
and progressive Indians knew it. 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

the regiment ready for unyt and it
did seem as thongh with all the sum

maneuvering iu the lield they were, a
fliB Englishmen would say, "pretty tit."
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. Any colonel
who, se-rving in Arizona or in tlu; Indian
Territory, was to apply f.T vaiir'as

and gre tinrr yet warm in remembrance

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. The youngsters
called him "gmmbly" at first acqnaint
aiice. ,It might lx that he was so bipp--d
anl unhappy himsi-lf Le could cot lval
lit see liit' bliss and content en every lace
aU-r.t bi::i. 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

the dark masses of her lustrous hair at
this very moment! How

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

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.

he called to his servant, t dashed at his

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

not find a way to object to, she had been

Spiders in History.
Spiders have played a greate-r part in

eording to Jewish tradition t. spider
saved I hivid's life'. Saul was hunting
for hint, and his soldiers approached a
cave where David was bidden. Short
ly lx-fore, however, a spider had spun
hT web at the ineiuth of the cave, and

a spider fell into the t up, and for this
reason the monarch gave the chocolate
to a dog, w ho immediately died. In
