'Conquest
How Love and Braver. Sa'ed
a Man From 1 Ilmscl.C
By CHRISTOriiER BARKL5Y
Copyright by American Press Asso
ciation, 1911.
Not far from Kort , In what w
then e.illed the far west, was oinv
ranch house. In those days the Am."
lean Indian was not kept In com, d
subjection, and the rancher Imllt lu
house near enough to tl.o fort to j
there with those of his household t .
protection in caBe of necessity. Th
fort, now that the Indian has been
eliminated, has sunk to nothingness in
importance, and the ranch house 1b
but a charred spot, having been burn
ed by the redskins years ago.
Not an hour before its destruction a
couplo. a young officer from the fort
nnd a girl, the rancher's daughter,
were sitting on the broad veranda in
the light of a full moon. Allen Kim
ball bad enlisted in the United Stales
army because ho could neither be con
trolled nor control himself. He had
given In to almost every kind of dis
sipation, and at the end of a spree,
not having the hardihood to meet his
father and being out of money, in a
fit of desperation ho had enrolled him
self In a cavalry regiment, choosing
that arm of the service since it would
send him farthest from his home.
Ho had not been long at his station
when trouble with tho Indians came
on, and Kimball showed himself so
brave that he was rapidly proront1
through the noncommissioned grades
and before tho fighting was over was
made a lieutenant This gave him
heart, and he determined to redeem
himself with bis family. But a pas
sion for gambling stood in bis way.
At those remote posts there was little
or nothing for tho men to do except
drink and gamble, 'nnd Lieutenant
Kimball found the temptation to gam
ble too strong for him. Once ho had
begun to play all caution deserted him,
and ho bet wildly. Tho result was
tbnt he became indebted to his broth
er officers in large amounts. One or
two of his creditors in order to get
what they considered to bo their just
dues formed a clique, against him, and
he found himself a "cut" man, which
Is the army expression for one whose
brother officers will not speak to him.
though some dissented from the rest
on the ground that Kimball did not de
serve what was inflicted upon him.
Kimball had formed the acquaint
ance of Winifred Armour, the ranch
man's daughter, at tho height of the
reputation he had made for bravery
and efficiency. He loved her, nnd his
loved was returned. He 'confessed his
previous life to her and announced his
Intention thereafter to bo n credit In
stead of a disgrace to his family. She
sympathized with him deeply and
promised him that if he adhered to
his resolution for a given time she
would marry him.
"But," she said, ''I will confess that
there is in the east a man of sterling
worth who has asked me to be his
wife. He Is much older than I. 'anil
thus far I respect him only. My love
Is yours. If you relapse into your
former condition when I return to the
east I shall accept his proposition."
Doubtless she put the matter thus to
furnish an iucentive to him to conquer
himself.
He had ridden over to the rawn
house on this moonlight night to bl.l
her goodby. He had failed to conquer
himself and had lost her. The inter
view was painful to both.
"Well," he said, "In one thing I re
joice you in time will be happy. Thank
heaven, I am not to drag you down
wifh me! You will be a member of a
family, while I I am every day ex
pecting an invitation to resign."
Winifred made no reply. What could
she say? She could not find it in her
heart to upbraid him. And there was
nothing she could say to relieve the
mental torturo both suffered. She sim
ply put out her hand in a muto fare
well. They were both recalled from the
melancholy status existing between
them by hearing distant sounds of n
galloping horse, evidently coming at
full speed. Both listened. The ani
mal was not coming from the direc
tion of the fort, but toward it. Kim
ball knew that the Indians on the
nearby reservation had been unruly,
and something told him the comer
was a messenger bringing a warn
ing, nis fear was realized. A horse
man, reaching a point In the road op
posite the ranch gate, pulled 'his horse
back on his haunches and cried out:
"Tho Indians are coming! They're
right on us!"
Without a word Kimball ran for the
stable near tho house and in a few
minutes returned, leading Winifred's
mare, saddled and bridled. Her father
was away from tho ranch, and there
was no ouo in the house but employ
ees and servants. They, too, prepared
for flight. Kimball put his companion
on her horse, mounted himself, and
they tore through the open gate and
away toward the fort They had
scarcely started when behind them
came that tevible whoop which only
an Indian can give.
The fort was six miles from the
ranch not a. long distance for an or
dinary ride, but too great to enable
the fugitives to reach safety with a
horde of yelling snvages in their rear.
The horses knew 'that yell and put
forth all their strength.
Scarop!)' a mile bad been covered
when tho gallop of a single horse was
heard that had evidently distanced the
rest Kimball knew that he was paru
lng upon them.
"I'm going to slow up and Are,'' no
said. "You go on; don't lose teas
time. I'll overtake you."
Ho pulled his horse back on his
haunches and turned him ns qulcsiy
as possible, but not too quick, for an
Indian was right on him. Seizin? a
repeating rlflo that lie carried hooked
to his saddle, he llred when tho man
was not a hundred yards from nlm
nnd dropped him. Then, turning, he
followed Winifred. She had prcfenod
to reduce her pace, and he consequent
ly soon caught up with her.
"Why d:d joit not go on when 1
drew rplnY" he nsked. "Isnm doing
this for you. not for myself. You
know that death Is my only refijge."
"I shall draw rein every tlmo you
do," was the reply.
"You are demented. Those men who
are following us are savages. When J
I nait again go on. li you ran into
their hnnds you will add a thousand
fold to my anguish."
"Do you suppose I can ride to safety
leaving you behind to be tortured and
then murdered?"
'.'You are a woman. I think of the
ngony you will occasion me, the sad
ness for your loss that will be for
others."
There was no reply to this.
On tho two galloped, maintaining
the distance between themselves nnd
those behind, who were delayed on
coming to tho body of the buck who
had been shot. Hero they divided, a
part remaining with the dying Indian,
the others continuing the pursuit
Half the distance between the ranch
house and the fort bad been passed
when suddenly a red glnro was added
to the pale light of the moon. Kim
ball said nothing. He knew that the
glare came from the burning of the
ranch house. On, on they sped, the
glare adding to their terror of the
whooping savages behind them.
Again the footfalls of the pursuing
horses, by their varying distinctness,
Indicated that the Indians were sepa
rating in accordance with the speed of
their ponies. Then Kimball saw that
he might save the girl by sacrificing
himself.
"There's a rise in tho ground ahead,"
he said. "I'm going to stop there nnd
take them as they come on. Hurry to
the fort. With what delay to the sav
ages I cause you can certainly reach
it."
"Not No!" cried Winifred, who
knew very well wh.t this meant
"Keep on. We shall soon meet a force
from tho garrison."
"Either we or that red light will be
the first news they will get that the
Indians are on tho warpath."
"I will remain with you."
"Go!" he cried. They had reached
tho crest, and, reining in his horse, he
dismounted. Seeing that she, too, hadl
stopped, ho said, "My only chancers to
hold them at bay till you can send as
sistance." She hesitated a moment; then, think
ing that he might be right, sho gave
her horse a cut and dashed onward.
Kimbnll, who had trained his horse
for Indian fighting, forced him to lie
down on tho crest, and, placing himself
on his stomach behind him, waited
for the first Indian to come within
range. But a few moments passed be
fore, on n rise In tho ground, a hun
dred yards away against the glare of
the burning ranch hduse, appeared the
silhouette of an Indian. Tho man wns
coming swiftly, advancing straight
toward Kimball. For the few seconds
the savage was on the crest ho seemed
to be standing still. The officer used
these few seconds to' draw a bead on
tho man's breast and fired. Tho In
dian rode down on to the lower ground,
his arms thrown up nboyo his head,
then fell backward, not fifty feet from
his enemy,
Kimbnll saw that in tho burning
building he had a great advantage.
But there was no time to consider.
Before tho Indian be had shot had
fallen another appeared on tho crcsC
At the moment one of those bursts of
flame that shoot up now nnd 'again
from burning buildings added intensity
to tho light, and the body of the savage
was pictured with inky blackness.
Kimball took a suro aim at bis head
and pierced his brain.
At that moment many silhouettes of
Indians appeared on the crest. Kim
bnll felt that his time had come, but
he welcomed it. Life to him had lost
all charm; indeed, it was his wish to
leave a world for which ho had proved
himself unfitted. Nor did ho wish to
remain to know that the girl ho wor
shiped was in possession of another.
He began a rapid fire at the advancing
Indians.
This is all that is known of that re
markable battle in which a single man
klllcft five redskins and wounded four
more. His own account and the In
dians he put out of tho fight nro nil
there was to tell the story, and bo re
members nothing more than has been
given here. A troop of cavalry from
the fort met a party of Indians and
put them to flight. In tho road where
tho meeting took place, unconscious
and badly wounded, tho soldiers found
Lieutenant Kimball. When he cams to
himself he was being carried on a
stretcher in the moonlight, and beside
him walked Winifred Armour, Bend
ing down, she whispered to him: ,
"My life is yours, to help you."
A wild joy triumphed over all else,
but he could reply only by a pressure
of the hand.
In 'the army bravery overtops almost
any offense. Kimball remained In It,
respected and admired. His wife's
love was all that was needed to en
able htm to keep himself in Bubjectlon,
and, supplying, as she dld.support for
his weaknesses, he conquered.
FOR THE CHILDREN
The Sleepy Donkey.
A man near Meadvllle, Pa., has an
Innocent looking, sleepy Uttlo donkey,
which he keeps in a yard back of his
house. For some time every dog that
passed made it n point to stop and
burk at the long eured animal. Final
ly the man became provoked, and ouo
day when two big dogs growled nnd
tried their best to Jump the fence tho
man quietly opened the gate and let
them In. If they had been Siberian
bloodhounds the barking brutes could
not have rushed with more ferocity
upon the seemingly stupid little ani
mal with long, shuggy Ifair und ears.
Prancing around him on both sides
and watching their chance to grab
him by the throat both together, tho
dogs, like brace of ravenous wolves,
encircled the donkey. Squinting lazily
out of his off eye, the donkey appear
ed most oblivious to his danger. The
dogs grew fiercer. As both were
about to cutch his throat in their
teeth the donkey with the speed of n
lightning flash lowered his head' and
dashed toward tho nearest dog as if to
butt him. Round and round tho don
key 'whirled as if on a pivot Then
his heels flow out, and the next in
stant fifty pounds of dog went spin
ning through tho air. The fato of dog
No. 1 was only an aggravation to No.
2. Ho snapped and growled moro fu
rfously at the donkey than before. In
two minutes more.' however, tho sec
ond savage assailant was cavorting
over the turf in somersaults, and the
donkey had closed his eyes again and
retired on his laurels.
Seal's Marvelous Instinct.
The instinct of the seal is marvel
ous, writes Sir Edward Morris In the
Wide World Magazine. It will leave
Its young on the ice in the morning
and, going down through a hole, re
main away, all day swimming in search
of food. Returning in the evening, it
will locate Its offspring in the snmo
"patch" among hundreds of thousands
of other baby seals, notwithstanding'
that tho ice may have wheeled or
drifted fifty or slity miles during the
day from wind and tide and not with
standing that the patch may extend
thirty or forty miles from one end to
the other. Whether this instinct Is of
the class that enables the bird, without
any mark or chart. In n forest with
millions of trees alike to find its way
back with case and precision to Its
nest I do not know, but it Is one of
those wonders in nature before which
human knowledge is brought to a full
stop.
Conundrums.
What Is tho difference between a
atylish young lady nnd a burglar? One
wears false locks and the other false
keys.
Why Is a watch like a river? Be
cause it won't run long without wind
ing. ;
Who was tho fastest runner in the
world? Adam, because he was first in
tho human race.
Why should one wear n watch when
ho travels through sandy, dry country?
Because every watch has a spring
in it.
What Is the difference between a
baby nnd a nightcap? One Is born to
wed. the other worn to bed.
What is that which Adam never saw
'nor possessed, yet left two to each of
his children? Parents.
Posting A Hoop Game.
'In this game a large circular track
should be marked out, with stations nt
equal distances, one for each player.
The player at the-first station trun
dles his hoop to the second station,
the player at that station takes his to
the third, and so on, the player at the
last station taking tho hoop on the
first Again. Any one steadying the
hoop with his hand is out, and his sta
tion must be abolished. The player
keeping in and trundling tho hoop
round to all the stations wins, the
same. If the number of players is
large two or three hoops may bo kept
going at one time.
Gold Miners.
It is chickens that usually pick up
gold nuggets. In Nebraska the ducks
have gone into the business and are
likely to put the chickens to shame.
You see, gold is often found .In the
sand of water courses, where it has
been washed down from the hills, and
the ducks that go swimming in the wa
ter have chances for mining that dry
land fowls can never have. They pick
up tiny nuggets and swallow them, and
then the gold is found In their crops
when they are killed for the table.
The Bell Buzzard.
The bell buzzard has come back to
Ohio, according to the newspapers.
He was seen two weeks ago in Ross
county, which is in the southern part
of the state, and bis little bell was
tinkling as merrily as ever. He has
worn the bell aronnd his neck- since
tho days of his youth, when some one
caught' him and gave him the musical
necklace. Every year since then he
has come back to the same part ot
Ohio.
The First One Up.
The first one up In our house is the smatl-

Before the sunlight wakes Us up he comee

And rently opens mother's door to make

Strand Magazine,
Pretty Fins Scratches.
Most people consider a polished sur
face as something absolutely smooth
that is, something 'with no scratches
on it whatever. To polish a thiug,
however, tho very reverse is done to Jt.
It is filled with very fine scratches.
All eyeglass lenses, g)ass for mirrors,
furniture, etc., are rubbed with fino
emery paper and later with an ex
tremely fine powder which gives the
finishing touches in the shape of very
fino scratchos. Now the question arises
as to just how fine the scratches must
be that is, how far apart they must
bo, for' big scratches a good distance
apart give anything but a polished sur
face. Tho answer is that the scratches
or htlges between must be less thffu
ono,-quarter the wave length of the
light that falls on the surface for the
light to be reflected nnd thus give the
effect of a polished surface. This is
less than one two-hundrcd-thousandtb
of an inch for light waves. No break
ing np of the wuvos is caused, and
tbey consequently are reflected in their
original form. New York Tribune.
