He had l-oiiiouui to iimih a second lieu
tenant A young ami heardlcvi mail ante
from West Point mid t lit ragged old
trooper who had boon lighting Indian for
three years smiled In contempt. I'll y wit
mingled with contempt, lion over It was
unjusUothe boy to put lilm up nualmt I
the ravage Apachts for IiIh llr.t trial.
Even honiu of the veteran ofticers of the
war hlul made a bad failure of It when
they camo out to the plains.
"The joungstt-r," an tho men called him,
bad been with uh a fortnight when the
colonel oidered him out on a scout. We
were to go down thu valley four miles,
turn to the went and ride down the bank
of Walnut creek three miles and then
come back over the hills. Ouu sergeant,
one corporal 25 hooper In all, At that
time the. chances uero ngulnst sighting nn
Indian, but the movement would tell their
pies that wo ueiu alert and watchful.
In duo time we leached the creek and
turned In. It was lined with trees and
bushes and offend covir to an enemy.
"The youngster" gave no outer.-', how over.
and appeared greatly surprised when hi
looked back and obscrx ed the attitude ol
tho men. They laid their cat bluea ready
for what iiiIkIiI route and olilhtti'd oil
against the hillside. 1 think; the officer
wiu about to hurl some Indignant protect
at us when we got a volley from the
bushes. Every man in that troop realized
on the instant that wo had only ten or a
dozen redskins to deal with every mttii
uu buu IU31I1 iv liiiv nu mm viiu in ' .
but the officer. Had we wheeltd Into line,
umiavoiieyam.ci.nrBl-u,vveM,0 ,, ,vC
driven them from cover and had a good
ftlmw tri i. ti.rtittnnt.i tli, lltlllll. 'Tlin
youngster" wan rattled by the suddenness
of the attack, and la-cuuso two or tnree
horses wont down he lost his head and
ordered ua to push forward at a gallop,
leuvlmr two men who had been dismounted,
but were unhurt, to be deliberately shot
down as they sought for cover. We had i
dashed forward about liair a mile wuen
every trooper suddenly pulled up and
wheeled about. No one gave the order,
but all acted In concert. We wcru too late
to save our comrades, but thu sight of
their mutilated bodies brought Hhoutafor
revenge as wo charged tho thicket. We
got a feeble volley, and another home went
down, but In 10 minutes we had wiped out
tho last skulking warrior. Nine of them
hud put the 25 of us to flight.
"The youngster" was brought back to us
by the sound of the firing. His face wore
look of astonishment and dismay as he
saw the dead. When he was informed that
wo had made a cowurdly retreat beforesuch
a small force, and when a trooper held up
the scalp lockn of our dead comrades and
growled out that they had been abandoned
to their fate when a cool head would have
saved them, the face of thu young man was
wblto as death and he made uo reply. A
trooper was sent to thu fort for an ambu
lance to carry in the dead, and after beat
ing up tho hushes ugaln we sat down to
wait his return. The lieutenant demount
ed and sat by himself. For a long time he
sat with his face In his hands galng at the
earth, and there wasn't one of us who
didn't feel sorry for lilm. By and by he
called tho sergeant over to him and asked:
"Sergeant, did you realize that we were
being tired on by so smull a force?"
"1 judged them to number from 0 to 12,
sir," was tlio tepiy.
"And had you been In command what ac
tion would you have takenr"
"Fours right, wheel and give 'em a vol
ley and then charge. That would have
been my way if they had numbered 100,
for a dash would have driven them from
cover a nd let us In."
"And the order I gave was to push for
ward, which was the same as retreat V
"So we understood, sir."
"And you returned and attacked without
orders?"
"Without orders, sir."
"That will do, sergeant. The ambulance
should be here soon, and you will see about
the bodies. Try and tell a plain, straight
story about the tight when you report to
the captain."
With that ho got up and moved up the
hill aa if surveying the country, and uo one
happened to bu InoUlugat him when he put
hU revolver to his head and sent a bullet
into his brains. Ilowa dead before we
reached him. I'oor "youngster!" A court
martial would have dismissed him from
the service. Kven hiul no charges been pre
ferred, he could not have held his head up
among men lighting nieu.
"Say," exclaimed tho sergeant as we
stood looking at thu body, "he made a mis
take, but paid for it with Ills life, and uo
man shall speak III of him. lie was a
youngster and had newr seen an Injun,
and that's all that ailed him."

"There seems to be," said a man of family,
"a certain class of domestic accidents that
cannot be definitely accounted for. Among
these I should put the upsetting of tho ink
bottle Who ever knew how tho ink bottle
got upset? Hero comes Mr. Seven-year-old,
who says to his mother, '.Mamma, the iuk's
upset.' His mother jumps up, t'lug,
'Why, how did that happuuf
"Some people think that ink bottles, end
more particularly children's ink bottles,
have a tendency to sort of jump up and
prance around and upset themselves; but
this is mere theory. Nobody ever saw an
ink bottle do that, and it is probable that
the question Is ouu of those that must re
main without a dt Unite and satisfactory
answer." New Yoik Sun.

Though we have no royal families in
America, or more particularly in New
York, where the crown and coronet are
aa often seen us in England, it bcciuh to
mo that witli the frequency of deatlm in
families that are rated iih "leadeia,"
pociety will have to make a new law
prescribing the limits of a term of
mourning. I think, in every case, thu
younger members of thu family Hhould
bu permitted to appear at social gather
ings without comment. And after all,
it ia nothing but fear of criticism that
makes the term of mourning so fasliiun
able and long. If half tho people were
really sincere in following such a fashion
it would be different, but they aro con
tinually doing things which tho strict
lawa of mourning do not permit, simply
because they consider themselves not
seen. I noticed at Jhe horse show a
daughter-in-law of a famous statesman,
recently deceased, who paid duo respect
to tho memory of the departed by her
choice of garments; but if she can ap
pear at the horse show, certainly there
can bu no line drawn at the opera or
dinners. Other members of her family
have permitted their mimes to appear
on thu lists of all the fashionable sub
scription dances. That I commend, for
if tliey cannot partake of pleasure them
selves, tlieio Ih no earthly reason why
they should not contribute to the happi
ness of friends.- Town Topics..
