General Custer'a Last I-'ight. |
June 20, Custer struck Sitting Bull's
mnlu trail and eagerly pursued It across
the divide Into the Little Big Horn Val
ley. I'xpectlng battle, be detached
Major Reuo with seven of his twelve
companies to cross the Little Big Horn,
descend it, and strike the foe from the
west; but Reno was soon attacked and
held at bay, being besieged in all more
than twenty-four hours. Meantime,
suddenly coming upon the lower end of
the Indian's immense camp, the gallant
Custer and his braves, without an In
stant's hesitation, advanced into the
jaws of death. Balaklava was pastime
to this, for here not one "rode back."
"All that was left of them," after a
few minutes, was some 200 mostly un
recognizable corpses. Finding himself
outnumbered twelve to one—tho In.
dlans mustered at least 2,500 warriors,
besides a caravan of boys and squaws
—Custer had dismounted his heroes,
who, planting themselves mainly on
two hills someway apart, the advance
one held by Custer, the others by Cap
tains ICeogh and Calhoun, prepared to
sell their lives dearly. By waving
blankets and uttering their hellish yells
they stampeded many of the cavalry
horses, which carried off precious am
munition in their saddle-bags. Lining
up just behind a ridge, they would rise
quickly, lire at the soldiers, and drop,
exposing themselves little, but draw
ing Custer's fire, so causing additional
loss of sorely needed bullets. Tho
whites' ammunition spent, the dls.
mounted savages rose, fired, and
whooped like the demons they were;
while tho mounted ones, lashing their
ponies, charged with infinite venom,
overwhelming Calhoun and Keogh,
and lastly Custer himself. Indian boys
then pranced over the field on ponies,
scalping and reshooting the dead and
dying. At the burial many a stark vis
age wore a look of horror.—Scrlbner's.
FAIR SAILING through life for the person

That is the lime to take Dr. Pierce's Gold

THOSE CHARMING FRI EN DS.
yUfffcx UT of noon fused
/// % medley of voices 1
hoard in a hnlf-sti-
J ,i lied whisper :
j&, "Mother, look
v-yi who is sitting bo
.J? hiud you ; it's Rog-
M/ gie Clive, I'm posi-
My curiosity outran my manners.] I
turned.
"Miss Eudcot!"l exclaimed. "It's
not three hours siueo I arrived iu Nice,
nnd my cirelo of acipiaiDtauces being
very small, to moot u friend is a pleas
ant surprise.
Miss Endcot blushed, prettily, if
forcedly.
"Now, Mr. Clive, your chnfiing me.
Why, mother and 1 havo not been
hero a week, yet wo have made most
charming friends upon tho strength of
your mutual acquaintance.
"Indeed 1" I replied. "Aro they
still at Nice?"
"Oh, yes, but not at this hotel."
"Their names?"
"The Comtosso d'Angiero and her
frieud—Madame Fletivre."
"The Comtesse d'Angiero!" I re
peated. "Of course 1 met her once or
twieo iu Loudon soon after her mur
lingo to tho Comte. A slim womau,
with fair hair, aqnilino nose and
laughing blue eyes. Oh, yes, I remem
ber her well."
Miss Eudeot laughed merrily.
"Fashions change, Mr. Clive," she
said, holding up one linger playfully,
"and tho color of women's hair and
even tho shape of women's uoscs aro
apt to change with thorn, aren't they,
mother? But lot me waru you, Mr.
Clive, not-to inquire after tho Comto
d'Angiero. He is dead. The Comtesse
makes a most, charming" widow, don't
she, mother?"
Something in tho Inst sentence exas
perated me. The Ilriton in mo resent
ed tho allusion to tho charms of tho
widow so direotly upon the announce
ment of tho poor Comto's doatn, and,
moreover, it contained an insinuation
thut within the meshes of those charms
I might easily become entangled.
Now, it was less than a year siueo Miss
Iris Maypel and her pseudo auntio
had so nourly ensnared mo iuto their
mnrriago trap, and womeu of uucei
tain social status no longer attracted
mo. I felt that Mrs. aud Miss End
cot, with nil the former's American
isms and all the hitter's smartness and
banter wero moro agreeable and emi
nently safer companions than Iris
Maypel & Co. So impressed was I
with-that truth that I gallantly stuck
to tho Endcbts all that evouing for
fear of meeting tho Comtesso and
being ourriod oil by her.
The next morning fonud mo in tho
came mood, though liow much tho
long tete-a-tete I had enjoyed with
Bertha Endcot overnight contributed
to it I know not. Anyway, I proposed
a ramble, and was not dissatisfied to
hear that Mis. Endcot contomplated
sitting in tho veranda with a novel.
Bertha nnd I thereupon started for a
scramble to tho heights at tho back
of the town.
As wo loft tho hotel a telogram was
put into mv hand.
Now, telegrams at homo aro too
common oven to destroy your lethar
gy, but telegrams received iu a Conti
nental town within twenty-four hours
of your arrival, of which you linvo ap
prised nobody, aro apt to startle you.
Bertha saw my surpriso and began
to chaff mo. I opened tho tologram
and read:
"I. aud A. are at Nice. Bowaro!"
I nevor knew how long it took mo
to reoover myself and langh ut tho
warning 1 had receivod, but I know
that Bertha Endcot and I wore well
out from the town and at loust throe
hundred feet above tho sea level.
I apologized profusely for my ab
sence of mind.
"Oh, don't apologize," replied
Bertha. "If sho cannot bo with you,
she should nt least be entitled to oc
cupy your thoughts for an hour or so."
"You're wrong, Miss Bertha," I re
turned. "Aud here's the proof."
I handed her the telegram.
"You're as puzzled us I was at first,"
I added, noting the contraction ol her
eyebrows. "And as it is no secret,
but only a story against myself, I will
explain it."
I thought I hoard a sigh of roliof as
sho returned the tologram.
"This must oomefrom my old frieud
Bob l'allunt," I continued, "siueo no
body but he—at least, nobody in Lon
don—knows my probable whereabouts.
I have boon wandering now for six
months nnd all on account of tho I.
and A. he mentions."
Bertha nodded, but did not inter
rupt.
"The I. stands for Iris—Miss Iris
Maypel—and A. for Auntie. It hap
pened a year ago, Bob Pallant and I
were both in love with Iris, who was
in London ostensibly for the benefit
of the season and in charge of her
aunt. Well, she gave tho preference
to Bob, who, after actually proposing
to her applied to a private detective
agency, asking as to her character and
the social position of her people. Ho
got tho character, a 3 rosy n ono as
could bo painted, and it was settled
that ho should ask her to marry him.
It happened that I called—by iuvita
tion—at tho flat occupied by Iris aud
lier chaperone, and was shown into
tho conservatory by tho servant. Then
caino the denouement. Iris, in ignor
ance of my presence, came into the
conservatory with her chaperone and
in a loud voice let mo into their
secrets, which may bo summed up in
a few words. Iris was an adventuress
in search of a husband. Tho chaper
one was no relation, but employed—
paid—by Iris to introduce her to so
ciety and a likely husband. Tho de
tectivo to whom Bob bad applied for
tho character was Iris's cousin, Nor
ton Scrubbs; hence the rosiness of the
character."
"And theso two women aro in this
town!" exclaimed Bertha.
"Bob Pallnnt's information is usu
ally correct, and I'm not disposed to
doubt it. You ace, ho was so savage
at having been done by thoso peoplo
that ho vowed vengeauco, and as he
couldn't attack tho woman ho sworo
ho would be the undoing of that de
tective agent—Norton Scrubbs. And
Bob Pallaut is generally equal to his
word."
"Suppose you meet those people
here?"
"I shall cut them, of course."
"But, hut you admitted that—that
you loved—lris—-once !"
My henrt gave a great leap of de
light. Bertha's words, the suppressed
eagerness of her tone, tho faltering in
her sentence, all pointed to ono end.
One long teto-a tete of tho previous
evening, though it had been chiefly
concerned about bygone incidents —
tho sort which grow dearer as they
grow older—hail left its mark, I
glanced quickly in her direction, but
her face was averted, and only a very
flushed neck and a very red little eur
wero visible. They were enough.
"Miss Beithn," I replied, impres
sively, "sorno people grow both old
and wise all of a leu]). I'm ono of
them. Tho love of a foolish boy is
how fur below tho level of that of a
sensiblo man? What relation does
tho love-sickness of youth beur to tho
heart-ache of manhood? Aud even
assuming that I had never been duped
to tho extent that Iris Maypel duped
mo, even assuming—"
I don't know how long I should
have talked or Bertha would have
listened had sho not interrupted me.
"Look!" sho said. "Here come
the Comtesse d'Angiero aud Madame
Flouvre. How jolly! won't they be
surprised to see you! Ob, it is fun.
I'm so glad we came this way."
I looked in tho direction indicated
and saw—
I could scarcely believe I saw aright
theii, but now, when I recall tho soeno
—the long, wooded avenuo with its
pinky-blossomed rose hedges, the
waving palms, the bushy eucalyptus,
tho clumps of odorous orange trees
with their pretty white blooms inter
sprinkled with golden fruit— it is dif
ficult to realize now that tho prim lit
tle figure iu widowed garb of Parisian
daintiness quickly approaching us
was Iris Maypel, aud the elderly com
panion was "Auntio" of London fame.-
But they were.
I had no time to plan an action. No
sooner was I assured that my eyes
wero still in normal condition than wo
mot and Bertha was saying in an
ecstatic tone—
"My dear Comtoss, see who 1 havo
brought you!"
Tho Comtesse extended her hand,
while tho most dubious smilo I ever
beheld grow on her face. I obeyed
my impulse.
"This is not an unexpected pleas
ure," I said, politely, "siuco Miss
Bertha has intimated your presenco in
Nice, Madame la Comtesse." I pur
posely emphasized the title. "Never
theless, it is a pleasure to renew an
acquaintance hero so pleasantly ma
tured in London. M. lo Comte, I
trust, is well and---"
It was said with intent. Having
started with a lie I meant to act it out.
I broke oil suddenly, for two reasons.
Bertha tugged vigorously at my coat
sleeve. and Iris alias the Comtesse,
burst into a most realistic fit of weep
ing. I expect tlie excitement of the
moment aided her.
I apologized in tonos so contrite
that I startled myself with my ap
parent sincerity, aud Iris aud her
chaperone bade us adieu.
As wo returned I listened for Ber
tha's merited rebuke for having for
gotten her warning aneut the Comte's
death, but I listened in vain. In fact,
so engrossed was sho in thought that
it was only when I had thrice asked a
question that sho replied.
"To what stago of intimacy have
you and tho Comtesse reached?" I
asked for tho third time.
"Why do you a3k?" Bertha re
plied evasively.
"Because I am more than anxious
to know."
"Mother and I mother at Monaco,"
"Yes?" I replied encouragingly.
"I ought not to tell you anything
more."
"Oh, then there is something more
to tell? Ditl you visit the Casino at
Monte Carlo?"
"Once."
"You resisted the temptation of a
second visit?"
"Wo obeyed instructions. See
here, Mr. Clive, this is in confidence.
Father, as you know, was unable to
accompauy us this trip, but ho gave
us carte blanche to go whither we
liked and to stay where we liked—
with one proviso. He declared if we
went fooling around the gaming tables
at Monte Carlo ho would never lose
sight of us again. So it was on con
dition that we paid but one visit to
the Casino that we were allowed this
European trip."
"It was a fortunate provision, per
haps, for your mother appears to
have imbibed the infatuation for
'methods' and 'systems.' "
"Yes, that is tho "Comtesso d'An
giero's doing."
"The Comtesso gambles?"
"With tho most consistent good
luck. She takes mother's money and
plays with it. Tlifcre, I oughtn't to
have lot on about that, but I know
you'll not give rao awa}*, Mr. Clivo.
You see, the Comtesse bogged mother
to trust her with a pound just to try
her luck—for the Comtesso goes to
tho tables every day—and elio won.
Then mother trusted her witli two
pounds, then five, ten aud twenty, al
ways winning. Now—"
"Please go on," I said, as Bertha
paused.
"There can bo no harm in telling
you the rest, Mr. Ciive. Mother has
raised every possible penny—pawned
her jewels even—and to-morrow the
Comtesso is going to play with tho lot.
There, don't look as if I wore to blame.
I've argued and protested, but whero's
tho use? The Comtesso wins every
time."
Sho had; but would sho win this
time? Tho stako was high. Would
she play with it? That was the ques
tion. Was tho whole thing a scheme
—a common confidence trick—to get
hold of tho American dollars aud bolt
with them?
It goes against tho grain to expose
a woman, however doserving sho may
be. I concluded to give Iris a cliauoe,
aud wrote a short letter stating that I
would keep her identity a secret if
she would return Mrs. Endcot her
money and leave Nice early the next
morning. Omitting either condition,
I declared I would hold her up to rid
icule and scorn.
I left tho note with tho porter at
tho hotel where Iris was staying, and
then walked awiiy to ponder alone
upon fate, coincidences and tho like.
I found a solitary seat upon n stone
boulder, with ouly lho*droariuoss of
some attempted excavations, which
had ended in a failure, to greet my
eyes or impinge upon my thoughts.
I sr.t there and smoked, and mental
ly surveved my entiro world, from
London to Nice, from Bob Pallant to
Norton Scrubbs, from Iris to Bortba.
Suddenly, without warning, a fignro
stood besido mo and said, inquiringly;
"Peggie Clivo!"
Tho silence of his approach and the
aggressiveness of his bearing startled
me. However, I admitted my name.
"You wrote a letter to-duy to a
friend of mine, tho Comtesso d'Au
giere," continued tho man.
"You are mistaken," I replied.
"Mere cavilling!" ho said, with a
sneer. "You wrote, then, to Miss Iris
Maypel."
"If that is more truly her name,
yes."
"You threatened her."
I stood up. Tho man's bluntncss of
speech and scowling brow looked
ominous.
"Call it that, if you will," I replied.
"I tried to do her a good turn, aud to
save her from herself."
"Bah! Merc quibbling! You!
threatened to expose her if she failed
to return certain monoy to that
bumptious old Amerieau woman or to
leave Nico in tho morning. Isn't that
a threat?"
"Call it so if you like," I returned.
"Coward!" bo yelled.
"Thank-you," 1 said. "If you will
givo mo your card I shall kuow better
to whom I am indebted to that pseu
donym."
"flouud !" ho said. "If you want
to know, my name's Norton Scrubbs,
which, until your villainous friend,
Pallant—whom I'll be on level terms
with yet—ruined it, was a flourishing
name in Loudon. All! you shrink, do
you? Hero's something that'll make
you shrink into a still narrower com
pass."
Ho pulled a revolver from his poc
ket, and cocked it. I showed as bold
a face as I could muster.
"Don't forget that you'll havo to
answer for this," I said.
His hoarse laugh echoed all around,
aud intensified the utter dcsolntiou of
tho place.
"Aiiswor!" ho sail. "To whom
shall I answer?" To thoso stones? To
tho night? To whom, I repeat? There's
not a soul within ear shot, and not
likely to bo this sido of morning."
I realized the truth of his bluster.
Tho day had died suddenly, aud tho
mists wero growing uncomfortably
dense.
"Cornel" continued Scrubbs, "wo'll
strike a bargaiu, you and I. Swear—
aud mind you stick to it—that you
will leavo Nico to-night and not return
or communicate with any ono in this
town for threo months from this
moment! The alternative is—"
Ho explained tho unfinished sen
tence with an emphasized movement
of tho pistol.
I am not a bravo man, yet I am not
an abject coward. I had a decided
objection at that moment to be hurled
into eternity and leave Bertha behind.
In tho few available seconds allowed
me for consideration twenty methods
of attack and defense presented them
selves aud wero rejected. Theu, all at
once, my muscles acted involuntarily.
I sprang at my opponent and gripped
liini somewhere iu tho region of the
throat. Tho attack was sheer folly.
Ho was twico my weight, possessed
twice my strength, and learned iu
every art and trick connected with the
free-fight and the knock-down blow.
I thought on my foolishness as I lay
prone upon tho dirt and blinked up
timorously at Scrubbs's revolver,
which looked right dowu iny throat as
I gasped for breath.
"Now, you houud I" he said, "will
you come to terms now or will you
take a dose of lead?"
Tho reply startled me quite as much
as did Scrubbs.
It was the pop of a pistol, the whirr
of a shot and the cry of a wounded
man as Scrubbs fell forward right
across my lege.
I disengaged myself and sprang to
my feot just as Bertha Endcot sprang
from behind a pile of loose 6toucs and
stood before me.
"I winged him, didn't I ?" she asked,
breathlessly. "The coward ! Perhaps
the next tiino ho dubs my mother a
bumptious old woman ho'il remember
that an American girl can shoot."
Bertha had puta bullet into his leg,
and the shot cost her mother a few
thousand pounds, for Iris aud her
chaperono had left Nice—with Mrs.
Endcot's money—before wo managed
to get tho wounded man back to his
hotel.
Soon after Bertha consented to bo
mine.—lllustrated Bits.

The Highest Typo of Hunting.
ID uiy estimation, the pursuit of the
mountain sheep is the highest typo of
hunting our continent affords. To "col
lect" an old rani requires good lungs,
good legs, good Judgment, and good
shooting. In tlio doing of It you uro
bouud to rise in the world, to expand
mentally, morally, and physically, and
to como under the pell that nature al
ways lays upon the hunter who once
sets foot upon her crags and peaks.
I regret the disappearance of the moun
tain sheep even more than the passing
of the buffalo and elk, for it Is an ani
mal of finer mold and stronger and
more Interesting character every way
It Is much more alert than the moun
tain goat, and therefore more difficult
to shoot—so say the men who have
hunted both.—St. Nicholas.

Photographed Out of Focus.
Under the pretext of a conscientious
realism it has become the common
practice of latter-day writers to devote
their exclusive attentions to the drains
und dustbins of humanity, and then,

cipating character of their labors.

graphic, but the result Is comparable
to a photograph in which one feature
or limb is preposterously out of focus.
And, as a matter of fact, It often hap
pens that this vaunted accuracy entire
ly falls to satisfy the touchstone of
science.—London World.
