T was when the oid Forty- of x fifth was in garrison at © x Madras — confound the rie insects and snakes, its dis- mal and overflowing wet seasons and fevers and a dozen other disagreeable things to make life miser- able. There was an uprising in a neigh- boring petty State, and a detachment of the Forty fifth..was ordered there post haste. Which does not mean much. as tq speed in a country. with roads and a temperature such as India has. . We duly arrived, and found that {here w; pretty ness of it. The petty prince of the little prove ince had been raising and keeping a standing army, consisting of thirty or forty lower caste IIindoos, whom he bad armed with as many guns of an old-fashioned design. probably worked off on him by some junk dealer on the coast. ‘ Whether the Oriental inclination for despotism had got to be a little harder than usual on the members of the standing army, or whether the ‘army had found itself getting more powerful than its sovereign—for some reason it had revolted and deserted in ‘a body, plundered - the royal. bungalow and some of the native residents of the sta- tion, and was at that time living a sort of bandit life in the neighboring jungle, swooping down on the place whenever provisions ran short, and taking what- ever they wanted, with an incidental murder here and there. Major Barker, on learning all the circumstances and the amount of the, force from the few Inglish residents, said: | “We'll put an end to this at once, sir; we'll stamp the rebellion out like that, sir” and he stamped his foot sharply on the matting, by sheer good Juck catching one of the big roaches of that clime under his sole, which lent objective force to his declaration. Well, we did stamp them out very much like that-—when we found them. But the finding of the rebels was the hardest part of the job, and, in spite of the major's contempt for the quality of the foe, it happened that he was to be the man who was to come the nearest to losing his life in a short campaign which was all but hlogdless on our side. The undercurrent of reveliion against’ our English rule in India:is well illus- trated by the conduct of some of the natives of this station, from whom we tried to find out the whereabouts of the rebellious standing army. Much as they were in fear of their fellow countrymen’s raids and barbar- ous atrocities, as between them and us, their aid was given to the rebels. In a few days Major Barker had he- come furious. “They think they can fool us, do they? By gad, sir, I'll show them! We'll hunt them out, sir, and ‘hunt them down, sir—in short order, too, by Jove!” So the major divided his detachment into several small reconnoitering par- ties to beat up the jungle very, much as he would have done on a tiger hunt, with a systematic plan of progress and a series of stated rendezvous. The major, on his part, took two men with him, and I was one of them. Our party was smaller than any of; the others, and I think the reason was that Le wanted to express to the men, in a striking way, his utter contempt country! with its heat, its howover . _ for the nature cf the enemy. The major’s zeal and bravery were beyond “question; these and his hot- apt to be sources of 2 At the time referred to he dragged us on so eagerly and impatiently into the forest that on the ver y. first:day we completely. lost ourselves, through not having. time to take proper precautions {0 mark our path. The fact worried Dick Brace and me considerabfy, and we began to discuss the matter over the fire we built at dark that’ night with a view to keeping “Off the wild: ‘denizens oF this Indian’ forest. We could not get much satisfaction from the major. ° “Lost, sir?’ said he. “Lost!

Don’t speak that way again, sir, or I'm pui you under arrest for disrespect to ‘Your commanding officer.” Then the majoi lay down and went to sleep, while Dick Brace and I talked it over. It is just such men as the major that have the luck in this world. Next merning at dawn we wero up and looking about for something to shoot for breakfast.

The major dréw his keft arm up as if in pain and uttered ‘an exclamation. The next moment he had turned and J dashed right into tLe midst of {the clump where the fire eame from. I might as well say at this point.that we all thought Major Barker more:or less of a born idiot*in action; he was! so confoundely foolhardy; but for that: very reason there was not a man in his command who did not feel himself: morally bound to take care of such ik irresponsible person, as he w gig Jave, of a child. > So Dick and 1 Volided after the major, inwardly wondering if “he was leading us into Fhe! arms of the whole for iy. 21 : But the forty. more or less, were gone when we got to the spot; we could hear the erackling of bushes as-they- scampered off and we ‘fired ‘several shots at them. 2 The reason that the major did not report yards of refreat going off in so many. direc- tions that he for a moment was puz- zled as to which one to follow. This gave Dick and me the desired opportunity, and we seized it. That is, we seized the major and compelled “him {to sit down, for ‘his left sleeve was dy ed red and his Te 1t hand was dripping. # “Confound you, what are you. Going he cried. “Eh—my wound?

The ast Words were delivered ‘as he ran. Sh We sprang after him. LucKily we were in single file, for two tongues of fire shot out from an ambush just ahead, and we heard two balls cut the | leaves on either side of our line of progress. The major's action was so quick that he took the enemy by surprise. and dashed among them in their covert be- fore they could make off. There were four of them. The ma- jor’'s revolver spoke once—then Hore: were three of thein. We found ‘the major as he was closed in upon by the three. One of them struck his right hand with a gun stock, i a ‘moment we. heard just after he had fired his shot. The revolver fell to the ground, and the ina jor was all but helpless. Dick and I could not shoot now, for the major was too ‘much mixed up with the black Fellows: we each dropped our un and tackled our man. using good old English rough and tumble tactics with them. Dick had his man -on his back in an instant. Mine was more difficult. He had me by the throat—a very fair grip it was, too—and he kept his feet, in spite of ny efforts. But in the struggle I cast my eye over his shoulder and I saw, close be- hind my man, the major thrown to the “There, sir,” said the major, when we [ there |: Later | , and, quicker than I can tell it, a knife flashed in the hand of the turbaned foe. I saw it was raised high over the major as he struggled to rise. The sight gave me superhuman strength. I literally wrenched my en- emy’s grasp free and hurled him back- wards, down on the major's prostrate form—just as the knife descended. ‘Then I launched one blind blow at the head of the assasin. The tremendous and successive ac- tions weakened me to the point-of tak- reeled and fell. But when, a few seconds Yer, my strength came back and I regained my feet, I saw Dick rolling the body of a Hindoo off the major’s prostrate form, and that Hindoo had a knife" sticking in his side.

A. retired, originated the story of eatehing a trout in one of the pools of the Yellowstone Park and boiling it for his dinner by dropping it, while:still on his line, -into one of the hot springs., “It's. .a true. story,” gaid Captain Marcotte to : reporter of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, “and it originated in this way. We crossed the Yellowstone River on our way to Bozeman, and founded the Yellowstone army post. Our party was the first that had scen the river since Lewis and Clarke discovered it in 1804. caught the original fish and boiled him in a hot spring not ten feet away. and then wrote the Chicago Tribune: ‘I ean stand in these mountains with my fishing line, catch a fish in a pool of water on ore side, and toss it into =a pool on the other side, where it will | pe boi! for dinner.’ The Tribune printed , unsuccessful what I wrote, but its staff set me down for a first-class liar, and every one who read the tale believed the same thing. “Times have changed, and the rail- road has been built, and the children of the people who called me the orig- inal Yellowstone liar are now standing by that river, catching fish and boil- ing them every summer. Then they write home about it and keep the story alive. The party of surveyors sent out by the promoters of the new rail- way were accompanied by six com- panies of regulars, as the country was then full of hostile Indians, who were ready to massacre any lone white man. We set out in the early summer of 1871 from IFort Rice, on the Missouri, some miles from the present city of Bismarck, S. D., and. plodded west- ward all summer until we came to the Bad Lands. The country was new and strange to us, and we lost our way and would never have come out had it pot been for our Indian guides, who pi- loted us through the fantastic region. Late in the fall we finally reached Bozeman. Mont, which was the end of our journey. It took many weeks to cover a distance that is now covered by. Northern Pacific trains in about eighteen hours. From Bozeman other parties were sent. out, and they final- ly found the way through the moun- tains over which the railway was built later.. It has been an exceeding- ly interesting experience to travel over the same ground oh camfertable trains and te think about the hardships. of our 650- mile, tramp in the early days.
