was in the thick of it all when the rush
t;f the rearward inoanl.tl troops swept
into and through tlw.se fire Fpittinif

sqnaws and children were watterir.g,

militant, whose "soul's in arms and
agiT for the fray," for his friends of the
Twelfth are under two fires.
Gallantly and Well have they with
stood that which, with radden treachery
ut the hands of their navage foes, flashed
in their very faces. But they have no
redress as against this this civilized
lashing at their very backs. The par
ton's sermon Sunday morning in answer
to the driveling pentiineutality of cer
tain misguided ecclesiastics far from the
cene of conflict almost lifted old Keu
you and his comrades out of their seats.
The major hugged his chaplain after
fservice and Ftopped to shake hands witl
Liiu every time he uiet him duriirg the
afternoon. In many a pulpit east of the
Missouri with tearful fervor was the
jiictnre drawn of those helpless, plead
ing Indian mothers, those shrieking, ter
rified little Indian Iwbes, ruthlessly
slaughtered by a brutal and infuriated
soldiery. Jsor were the clergy without
warrant for their lottoin facts," since
in some mysterious way the representa
tives of the press, hovering about that
iiniK-rsoual section of military anatomy
known as headquarters, were flooding
the columns of their journals with para
rraphs about the wanton killing of wo-j-ien
and children in the fight iu front of
the Twelfth.
"Holy Joe," as the parson had lwcn
termed, knew well the dav when, ia the
seclusion and simplicity of his seminary
life, ho would have swallowed whoL
just such statements and turned up the
hites of hh eyes in sympathetic horror
at the recital. But the man of (J.hI on

coated comrades. He wrestled with the
brethren of his cloth and downed them.
lie even dared to establish a censorship
of the press and to keep from the hands
of his precious wounded those journals
which had assailed the Twelfth.
He had had his hands full, tHor fel
low, long before the wounded came, fT
those were dire days and nights af ler the
jk-vvs wa3 flashed to the pist and tiie
wi.h.wed and fatherless in their aftlic
lioit were thrown ujk.u his hands. I'oor
Mis. Thorjie! Ah, she was only one of
se eral. There was wailing among the
wives and little o:ics down where once
tin: soldiers families were so thickly
clustered. There were other households
i:i .lrea.1 anxiety. There were w.-u-t n
broken down with grief and thephss
watching. There was one ro ill the
co'tld not even now be told she would
wrer look upon the facecf her gallant
soldier again. But draw the veil. It
was or. such bleeding hearts and on the
men who bore the brunt of the fiercest
fighting of the campaign that . the Ludi
tif press and pulpit fell.
But old Kenyon was in his element.
To the lest and kindliest of men there is
in leing able to say "Didn't I tell you
so?" a joy that surpasses the sweets cf
religious consolation. It was something
to hear him declaiming among the art?
lery and infantry officers during the
lays that followed the announcement of
bfticial investigation at the exjK-nse of
the Pawnee battalions. "Why, gentle
men." said he, "I have never ceased to
ti.ak God I didn't take the chance for
.r .motion that came in the reorganiza
tion twenty years ago. I was cue of the
senior captains of infautry then. I could

just as well as not been a yellow major
ten years before the leaves Oroj.ped on
my shoulders in the blue; but if by any
chance I were ordered into the dragoons
today I'd swap out or quit for good.
From the time those Bloods and Piegana
got their deserved thrashing at the
hands of Tim Baker's battalion I've
known enough to steer clear of it. Yon

sir, to cavalry service f-..r lue. There's
only one thing harder thun the knocks
that they have leea getting f..r the last
twenty years on the front;, r, and that's
the knocks they've had to bearut home."
But toward the end of Januarv tholj
post was beginning to pluck r.p heart
tgain, and to the keen delight of Mrs.
Berrien and Winifred their particular
major was able to drive with them,
bundled np in Lis furs, and lolling back
in the cushions of Ben ngaria's barouche,

riage, with that rejoicing matron by L19

nn.l Winifred lioniiy Winifred beam
ing upon her father from the front feat.
Very, very sweet Miss Berrien was look
ing just now, said all who faw her; yet
there was a shade of wistfulness in her
face, a constant expression about those
deep, dark eyes that seemed to tell they
were ever on watch for one who never
came. Shattered as was his saber arm.
Curly Brewster had scoffed at the idea
of leing sent back to Pawnee.
"What's the user he said. "I would
be utterly alone there, while here I have
all the fellows about me. What better
care do I need?"
Ia the inidst of all their trials and an
noyances, in the thick of the whirl of
events that followed their sharp and
sudden fight, the officers anil men of the
Twelfth found themselves more closely
drawn together even than before. Very
little was said when outsiders were by
as to the depth of feeling aroused in
their ranks by the unaccountable crit
icism of the press. Very little had to bo
said in the official investigation of the
affair to clear them, one and all, of the
array of allegations lodged at their
d.iors. But that every man, from the
colonel down, lxre away from the field
of their winter's travail a sense of in
jury beyond the 6car of savage missile,
who could doubt, who could blame? It
did not prevent their having some quiet
fun of their own, however. Gray haired
Farquhar was whimsical in his sym
pathy with Rolfe, whose scalp had been
saved by the man of all others he Ii3d
most reviled Sergeant Ellis. Randolph
from the recesses of the hospital tent
poked no eud of gibes at Kidgeway, who
had lost Lis eyeglasses in the morning
fight and Lad been nearly run off with
by the Sioux. As for lljlfe's plight, "he
lost all the skin from the side instead of
the top of his head," l.-rughed Gorham.
It was pitiable enough to make the
Ix.ys forget the austerity of his past, for
to his dying day Rolfe would carry the
marks of his involuntary "scrap with a
squaw," as Randolph termed it. "Rolfe's
scars have come to the surface," chimed
in Warren, who never could get alon
with him. They all ho;ed that he would
go lack to Pawnee with the wonnded
train, and he did. So, too, did Ellis,
wearing on the arm in a sling the new
chevrons of a first sergeant, won, as said
his colonel in presenting them, "together
with the heartiest recommendation for
a medal of honor I could write, for
bravery ou the field of battle." Rolfe
turned his lwndaged head away wheu
Ilold.-n gave him all the story. He knew
not what to think, much less what to
sav. Ellis had leated through the swarm
of fighting braves and with the butt f
Lis carbine dashed aside the unsexed
fiend whose clutching claws were in the
captains hair, and tfien had fought like
a tiger over the prostrate Ixxiy and saved
the life of the tiaa who had maligned
Lim.
"One half second more and you were
gone, Rolfe," said Uohkn gravely.
"I never said he wasn't a tine soldier,"
answered Rolfe faintly. "Perhaps 1
didn't know him aright."
"That isn't all there is to it. Rolfe."
was the doctor's reply. "He is more
than a soldier. He is a gentleman, and
I know it."
Yet when Rolfe expressed a desire to
see and speak with Ellis later he calnily
begged the doctor to excuse Lim.
But just why Brewster would not go
home with the wounded the boys could
not quite understand He would be off
duty for months. He might not swing
saber again for a year. Miss Berrieu
was there, all readiness, no doubt, to
thank him warmly for all he had done
to save her and her mother from the
blizzard, from the Indians, and heaven
knows what all to bless Lim for his
rescue of papa to beam nKn Liiu wit h
those wondrous dark eyes, thought poor
Ridgeway, who felt somehow that, after
all, his cake was all dough. And yet
Curly wouldn't go. What was more, he
had never so much as exchanged one
word with Winifred Berrien from the
moment of the discovery of the imba
lance. It was "B thruop," as Murphy
said, that had the honor of conveying
the ladies on to camp and the be. hide of
the astonished major. It was a blow to
Winifred to learn that within twelve
hours after their arrival the old battalion
had ridden away, Brewster with it.
"I know why Curly dotsn't dare go
back," said one of the sages of the bach
elor mess. 'He's afraid Knowles will
come out and iasist on lugging Lim off
to town to be nursed under his roof or
else of her going out to nurse him.
Begad! it may be tough, but it's a heap
safer here." And so "Antiuotis" re
mained with Lis fellows in the wintry
field, and old Berrien, who never could
be got to write a letter to anybody,
found he could stand it no longer. He
bade C-rengaria write and siy well,
something; something really must be
said alout how they appreciated his
conduct; "bygones lie bygones;" some
thing, anything; he didn't know; she
did; she always knew just what to say.
"So write, Bess."
"But I have, Dick."
'li rengaria! And without my consent.-
"Richard Plantagcnet, C.enr de Lion.
Tcte de Veau, of course tea days ago."
"What did you say?-
"Everything that was projier, I trust."
"What did ho say?"
Nothing."
"Didn't he answer?"
"How could he, Dick? Yon cp.n't with
two Lauds; he has but one, the left nt
that."
"He night have got somebody to write
for him. I did."
"So did he."
"Thought you said he didn't say any
thing." Well, he didn't. He said everything
that was gentlemanly courteous, appre
ciative, r.ud yet nothing. A modtl let
ter, Dick."
"What diK-a Winnie say;"
Nothing."
Didn't she fee i;?"
"Why should she, Dick? Two months
ago you practically forbade their meet
ing." "Oh, I know; but I didn't know him
then "
"Not even after seven years' service
with him, Dick?"'
"Oh. well, that that party in petti
coats there in town, I didn't know her
as well as well, as after I heard all
alxmt her from those fellows in the
Eleventh."
"But I knew Ler, Dick, from the
start."
"I know yon did, Bess. You said so;
and I supjiore I've been au ass," said
Berrien ruefully.
"You sometimes do cross the danger
line, Dick, dear. That is, when I let
yon."
The major had nothing to ray in re
spouse to this accusation. He pondered
iu silence a moment. "Weil, a fellow
cm change his mind, can't he, as will
as a woman?"
"Not as well as a woman, Dick. Sr ill
Le can change. And suppose a certain
fellow were to change his mind now and
take six months' leave and go away to
be cured?"
"What! Brewrter change his uiind?
cbout Winnie, do you uu-aii? Why. con
found hiui! I'd roi.nd hint up so quick .
The idea of his going back on Winnie!
Why if I thought such a thing possible
I'd Lave him here on his knees at her
feet inside of a week."
Oh. no, you wouldn't, Dick," said
she. laughing softly. i
"Wouldn't? Whvr.r-"" i
"Just because two women wouldn't
let you I for one, Ywctiie f-.ir two."
"You still think she c;r for Lim?"
"I won't answer that. Dick. But this"
with sudden change from her laughing
manner, "I will say, no matter what
she cared or Low she suffered, neither
jou nor l, uick, nor any one ol us on
this wide earth, would ever wring one
word from her lips."
And over at Holden's things were
going on in an odd groove. It was Ken
yon who was a frequent visitor there
now, not Rolfe. Mrs. Hidden was still
in St. Louis with her olive brancLes,
for the doctor Lad frankly told Ler that
just so long as he had all these wounded
oa Lis hands the children would be in
"He means me." said Jennie to Miss
Guthrie, with prompt resentment, "But
Le says next month he'll couie on here
business will require it as well as pleas
urepay us a ten days' visit and take ns
home. TLen you'll come, too, won't
you, Nita?" But Miss GutLrie shook
her head.
"You promised us," said Mrs. Holden
reproachfully; "and Rolfe won't lie there
to worry you this time," she faltered.
"He's going to take a long leave and go
abroad."
"But even that," wrote Jennie to her
liege, "diil not seem to comfort her. She
6a ys she will never, probably, visit Paw
nee again; and I know well as can be it
is all on account of that terrible fright
What ca there have been behind it all?
Now that the Twelfth is coming homo
and you have everything running
smoothly, don't you think it possible to
find out something about that strange
affair? You have never written a word,
and I can see Nita's eyes questioning
me every time she knows I have a let
ter. The other ilay I was in her room,
and looking over some old albums that
I drew from the bottom of a desk I came
across a picture of hers just like the one
that is in the little silver frame on the
toilet table in her room at Tawnee, ex
cept that this was blurred and worn.
Why, Nita!" I cried unthinkingly, as
she entered, I thought you told me mine
was the only one left of this kind; and
here's one that looks as if it might have
been worn next some fellow's heart and
been kissed a million' and then 1
stopped short and dropped it, for she had
turned white as death and was stretching
out her hands. 'Where did you fitid that?"
she whispered at last. 'Between the
leaves of this old album,' I said. 'It was
lying there loosely.' 'I had not seen it
for six years. I thonght I liad burned it
with' '
'And then she broke off suddenly and
shuddered, but seized it and took it
8 war. If she would onlvtalk to me of
Jack; bat she will not, even though 1
know that ever since the suicide of Mr.
Percival last August Mr. Guthrie has
been working day and night reopening
the old matter. All the friends of the
Outlines are now more than ever confi
dent that Jack was absolutely innocent
that Mr. Percival as president of the
bank had mado away with those missing
funds and securities and charged it to
Jack and to his friend Harold Worden.
An effort has been made to get at Mr.
Percival's papers, all of them, but Lis
widow is still so broken that sue cannot
be 6oen by any one, say her physicians.
It is believed she knows something of
the inner history of the whole case, and
that she is striving to hide what 6he
knows for her children's sake. Of
course people say she Las behaved very
ill that she ought to sell and restore to
the bank real estate and proierty that
from time to time Mr. Percival had set
tled upon her. But she only goes into
hysterics when lawyers are mentioned.
"Mr. Guthrie is now in a highly nerv
ous and excitable state, which natural
ly reacts upon Nita. I wish we could
get her away from here. He went west,
yon remember, wheu he left her with
oa st Pawnee. He went in the hopes of
finding some trace of Mr. ordeu, so I
learn now, and to urge the immediate
return to St. Louis of Jack's old and in
timate friend to demand justice at the
Lands of the Percivals, for he was
ruined irretrievably by Percival's accu
sation when dismissed from the lank.
But he has vanished utterly, and I know
that they have aUut given him up for
dead. A detective agency hia been at
work for months, and twice of late men
have come to the house asking if it were
not possible to find somewhere a picture
of Mr. Worden; but Nita says none ex
ist that she knows of. I believe that
6he burned all that she had.
"Why will 6he uot trust me and tell
me abort it she who used to have no
secret from me? We kuow that ho was
deeply ia love with her and that she was
believed to care for Lim, but there was
a fearful scene between him and Mr.
Gnthrie over poor Jack's body. The
old gentleman was wild with grief, and
in bis misery lie upbraided Worden as
the cause of it all accused him of be
ing tho thief and cursed him for con
cealing the crime at the expense of
Jack's life and honor. Possibly he did
believe it then, but 6iuce Percival's
death everything is changeiL I believe
he would give all ho owns to make
amends to Worden now, and sometimes
1 think that that is what is killing Nita.
" 'That that is what is killing Nita,'"
read Holdcu again, this time half aloud,
as he pondered over the word. Then a
sound at the door attracted him. He
glanced np quickly.
"Oh, come iu, sergeant. I did not
hear you knock."
"1 beg your pardon, sir." was the an
swer, in Ellis' deep voice, a faint flush
rising to his pale, black liearded face.
"1 knocked twice at the outer door, and
then, knowing the doctor to 1 here,
ventured into the hall. Am I too early,
sir?"
"You are just in time. Come ia. Shut
that door and sit down. How's the arm
to day, Ellis?"
Obediently the tall trooper had stepped
within and closed the door, but he still
remained erect, a shade of hesitation in
his manner. "The arm seems doing
well, sir."
"And yet you yourself do not pick up
as I could wish. Take tliat chair, Lllis;
we shall not be interrupted, and 1 want
to talk with you about your case. You
have won honor und troops of frienls in
this campaign, and wheu the regiment
gets back and they find yon pale and
languid, so utterly unlike yourself and
unfit to take your duties as first sergeant,
they will say I was at fault Can't stand
that, you know, so 1 have spoken to
Major Kenyon about the matter, and he
has directed that you move out of the
hospital forthwith aud under my roof.
Xo. keep your seat You are to rejiort
to me for special duty in making up the
field papers and rejk.t ts. and I shall need
you right h.r where I can supervise it
all aud look alter you."
For a moment the two men sat jgaziug
straight into each other's eyes. Then
again, trembling slightly. Ellis strove to
rise.
"Dr. Holden, 1 I ought not to take
advantage of this. Indeed I cannot."
"That will do, sir," was the quietly
smiling reply. "Orders are orders, ser
geant, and being a patient yon are
doubly under mine. What's more, you
caa ask no question until that chevron
is replaced by the shoulder strap. Ellis,
nnderwhat name sliall thcofucersof the
Twelfth ask that you be made oue of
their number?"
Making no reply, the sergeant bowed
his head and covered his face with his
hands.
Late that evening old Kenyon, drop
ping ia to see the doctor, fonnd the tall
cavalryman seated at a desk in Holden's
library, and. as ho promptly arose and
stood erect ia acknowledgment of tho
presence of the jxist commander, the
major strode straight up to him and
held out his band:
"Sergeant, I am as proud and pleased
as your own father could be. When a
whole regiment recommends a man for
B commission, as this day's mail tells us.
it's worth more than all the senatorial
backing in Columbia, It may not fetch
it. but I'd rather have it Now, have
yon any friends to aid you?"
"None ia the world, sir."
"No relatives? No kin? Not even a
congressman.
Not even a congressman. A sister.
perhaps; but that Is. -JL"
"Well, well, well! Never mind,
though, my lad; we'll see yo-j tlirough.
What you must do is get strong and
well. You're but the ghost of yourself,
and the doctor and I liave moved you
over here as a matter we owe the regi
ment 1 thought you were told to go to
bed an hour ago. WLich is your room?"
"Tho doctor has given me the ma of
the top floor, sir, but mine is the front
rcora oa this side," answered Ellis
gruvely. .
, "Well, it's tima for yon to turn in, so
1 order it Let me see. This is the
twenty-fifth of January. A month front
now, or two at most, I Lope to soo yoa
viih a s'rup on your shoulder, an.) long
K-foro that with the flush of hcalUt in
your cheek. Now good night to you and
pleasant dreams." And the major strode
away.
Only an hour after sunset the silver
disk of the moon had risen cloudless and
cnveiled, and now, as the bugle was
calling the belated ones back to the pobt
for night inspection of quarters, the bur
nished shield was high aloft, flooding
the broad valley with its radiant sheen,
throwing black shadows upon the broad
roadway, the white picket fence, the
glistening verandas at the post Hol
den, returning from a late visit to some
of his patients at the hospital, stopped
and looked quickly and intently np at
the little gallery overhanging the east
ward walL
In the front room, that which he had
assigned to Ellis, a light burued dimly.
The Venetfcin window of the rear room
leading to the gallery was dark, yet
open, and on the little ledge, leaning
against the casement, the mooulight
gleaming on his face aud form, a tall
soldier was gazing intently eastward.
Quietly Holden strode along, entered
the gate, went noiselessly into the hall
and up the stairs. The door from Nita's
room to the landing stood wide open.
At this juncture a person standing out
side would have seen the silent occujiant
of "Robbers' Roost" turn with sudden
start and peer into the room, for Holden,
his eyes fixed upon the gleaming, glis
tening space between the two rear win
dows and just over the toilet table, had
purposely dropped his heavy stick with
resounding clatter upon the landing
floor. "I thought so," he muttered iu
serene satisfaction. Then picking up
his stick he calmly strolled across the
threshold and into the dark room.
"Beautiful view of a mooulight uight,
Ellis. That was 5Iiss Guthrie's favorite
perch when she was here."

Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, III.,
writes that he Lad a Severe Kidney
trouble for many years, wjlj severe
pains in Lis back and also that li is
bladder was affected. He tried many
so called Kidney cures but without any
good result. About a year ago Le
began to use Electric Bitters and found
relief at once. Electric Bitters is es
pecially adapted to the cure of all Kid
ney and Liver trouble? and often gives
almost instant relief. One trial will

The Eetort Courteous.
A couple of youiii women were
making their way along Market-st
yesterday through the rain and mud,
when swell dressed man going in the
same direction looked back rather
sharply as Le passed them.
"Well, what's that fool staring at?"
snnpixMl out one of them, loud enough
for the stranger to Itcar them.
"Pardon me," be pleaded, as be tip
ped his hat; "I had no intention of lac
ing rude but I was just wondering
what kind of a girl it was that came
down town on a rainy d:y- with a hole
in her stocking. I know now. Thanks.
Good morning." Fnui'Swo J'o.-t.
The market is full of cough mixture,
but one trouble with most of thciu is
that when they do a little good the
patient lias to take so much that lie
gets to loathe the taste. The Pincolu
Balsam is superior to other rough n ine-
dies it is agreeable to the palate and its
good effects are immediate. In a few
days an ordinary rough is gone alto
gether. Bronchitis and asthma are
more stubltorn, but they too are cured
by Ely's Pineola Balsam. A remedy
worth try ing. Twenty-five cents is all
it costs.
The body must be well nourished
now, to prevent sickness. If your
apiotite is poor take Hood's Harsa
pari'Ia. His Cyclone Fence.
A fanner in the Kansas cyclone
district was building a stone wall. He
was putting it there to stiy, building it
five fctt across the lase and four feet
high.
A stranger came riding by and see
ing the care the farmer was taking
said to him: "You seem to be mighty
careful aliout that wull."
"Yep," replied the farmer, "I'cm er
building her to stay."
'"Tain't no use," replied the stranger,
"It'll blow over just the same."
"Wail, let lu r bl w over; she'll In; a
foot higher if she does," replied the
fanner continuing his work. I'hicato

The major and the Lioness.
An English major has just been
killed iu a dcsrate fight with a
lioness in Sunnliland. The animal
was driven out of a thicket by Ix-atcrs,
and the major wounded her severely;
the attendant w ho carried the second
rille fired both barrels into her, but she
killed him with one blow of her paw
on the head. The major then tired
another shot at her, and she turned
upon hi nr. Not having another cart
ridge lie rammed the barrel of the
rille down her throat, her jaws closed
on one arm, and iu trying to force
them oen his other hand and arm
were bitten. The lioness was finally
speared to death by the native servants.
It took todays to take the wounded
major to Aden, but gangrene set in,
and he died two days after arriving
there.
In The Beginning
Of a new year, when the winter season
of close confinement is only half gone,
many find that their health begins to
break dwn, that the least exposure
threatens sickness. It is then as well
as at all other times, and with people
even in good health, that the following
facts should be reiiicmU-rcd, namely:
that Hood's Sarsaparilla leads every
thing in the way of medicines; that it
accomplishes the greatest cures iu the
world; has the largest sale in tho
world, and requires the largest building
in the world devoted exclusively to the
preparation of the proprietary medi
cine. iJoes not this conclusively prove,
if you are sick, that Hood's Sarsa
parilla is the medicine for you to take?

The combined forces of the weather
during the winter season are exerted to
destroy health. Coughs and Colds

with groat success in Orr's Island, Mr.,
a few days ago. A milkman of that
place found his kitchen ablaze on re

the well to draw water to throw on the
flames, but in his excitement lost the
bucket in the well. Then In; ran into
the dairy and got a big can of milk,
and threw the contents ou the flumes,
which ha 1 by this time gained good
headway. He emptied ran after ran

z THE KIHCi CURE
An OU Lady's Advice.
From Household.
The following advice, given a young
married woman who was visited by
another older and more experienced
one, may be helpful to some of our
readers :
When the visitor arose to go the
host.-ss came with her to the door, and
out tiNn the pleasant piazza, which,
however, hxiked a little duty in the
corners.
"Oh, dear!" said the young wife,
"how provoking the servants are! I
told Mary to sweep the piaz.i thor
oughly, and now look how dusty ii is."
"Oratv," said the older woman look
ing into the disturbed young face with
kindly humorous ryes, "I am an old
housekeeper. Let me give you a bit of
advice: Never direct jteople's atten
tion to defects. Unless you do so they
will rarely see them.
"Now, if I had lieen in your place
and noticed the dirt, I should have
said, 'How blue the sky is !' or," 'How
beautiful the clouds are' or, 'How
bracing the air is V Then I should
have I' Hike. 1 up at that as I sMke, and
should have gotten you safely down
the stejs, and out of sight without
your seeing the dust."
Many merchants are well aware that
their customers see thir best friends and
take pleasure in supplying them with
the lst good obtainable. Asm instance
wo mention Perry t Cameron, prominent
druggists of Flushing, Michigan. They
say: "We have no hesitation in reeom

medicine we Lave ever sold, and always
give siitisfa.-tioit." For sale at i and ')
