CHAPTER XII.
It is a Bultry day, early in July, and
tho sun is going westward through a
fleet of white, wind driven clouds that
Bend a host of deep shadows sweeping
and chasing over tho wldo prairie.
Northward tho view is limited by a
low range of bluffs, destitute of tree or
foliage, but covered thickly with tho
summer growth of bunch grass. South
ward, three miles away at least, though
it seems much lass, a similar range,
pierced here and there with deep ra
vines, frames tho picture on that side.
Midway between tho two ridges and
fringed with clumps of cottonwood and
willow, a languid stream flows silently
eastward and is lost with tho valley in
tho dim distance. Out to tho west in
long, gradual curre the southward rango
veers around and spans tho horizon.
Midway across this monotono of land
scape, cutting tho etreant at right an
gles, s hard prairie road comes twist
ing and turing out of ono of the loith
ern rsviaet, and aff er a long, gradual
dip to the ford among the cottonwoodg
emerges from their leafy shado and
goee winding away until lost among
the "breaka" te the north. It it ene of
the rotates to tho Black Hills of Dakota
the -wagon road from tho Union Pa
cific at Sidney by way of old Fort Sob
fcison, Neb., where a big garrison of
some 14 companies of cavalry and in
fantry keep watch and ward over the
Siour nation, which, one year previous,
was ki tlfo midat of tho maddest, most
successful war it ever waged against
tho wbito man. That was the centen
nial year 1873. This its another ovent
ful year for the cavalry 1877; for be
fore the close- of the summer even the
troops so far to the southeast are destined
to be summoned to the chase and capture
of wary old Chief Joseph tho greatest
Indian general ever reared upon tho
Pacific slope and even now, on this
July day, here aro cavalrymen at their
accustomed task, and though it is five
years since wo saw them under the
heat and glare of tho Arizona sun there
aro familiar faces among theso that
greet us.
All along under the cot ton woods be
low the crossing the bivouac extends.
Long before sunrise theso hardy fellows
were in saddle, and in long column
have come marching down from tho
north four strong troops a typical
battalion of regular cavalry as thej
looked and rode in thoEo stirring days
that brought about tho subjugation of
the Sioux. Out on tho prairie the four
herds of tho four different troops aro
quietly grazing, each herd watched by
its trio of alert, though often apparent
ly dozing, guards. O110 troop s niado
up entirely of black horses, another of
sorrels two aro of bays. Another
herd is grazing closo to tho stream
the mules of tho wagon train and the
white tops of theso cumbrous vehicles
aro dotting tho left bank of the, winding
water for 200 or COO yards. Cook fires
are smoldering hi lirtlo pilfe, dug in
tho yielding soil, but the cooking is
over for the present. Tho men have had
their substantial dinner and are now
smoking or sleeping or chatting m
groups in the shado all but a squad
of a dozen, commanded by a grizzled
veteran on whose Avorn blouse the chev
rons of a fust sergeant are stitched.

uberant cordiality as tney rattle away.
The gronp of officers presently d!
perse, two tall lieutenants 6trolHag off
together and throwing themselves tinder
the spreading branches of a big cotton
wood. Ono of them, darker and some
what heavier built now, bat muscular,
active, powerful, is Drummond; tha
other, a younger man by a brace of
years, .11, blue eyed, blond boardei,
wearing on his sconting blonss the
straps of a second lieutenant, it our
old friend Wing, and "Wing doe not
hesitate in presence of hia senior officer
such is the bond of friendship between
them to draw front his breast pocket
a letter just received that day when
tho courier met them at tho crossing of
the Dry Fork, and to loso himself in
its contents.
"All well with tho niadain ant tha
kid?" queries Druramond, after tha
manner of tho frontier, wken at last
"Wing folds and replaces his letter,-
happy light in his brava blue ayes. ""'
"All well. Paqnita saya that Harvey
has captured tho entire housekold, and
that Grandpa Harvey is his abject
slave. Thero isn't anything in Chicago
too good for that 2-year-old. They've
had them photoed together the kid cn
his grandfather shoulder. ' '
"Aren't you afraid hie Arizona undo
will be jealous for his own boy's eako?'
laughs Drummond.
"I don't believe Nefl wonll begrudge
Fanny anything tho old man might fee!
for her or for here. He it generosity
itself toward his sisterB, and surely
cond never have found a warmer friend
out of the army. You know how ho
stood by me."
"I know, and it was most gratifying
not but that I feel pujn you would
have won without hia aid. The old man
simply couldn't quite bo reconciled to
her marrying in tho army and living
in Arizona."
"A strange land for a honeymoon cer
tainly yet whero and when tras thero
a happier? Do you remember how the
Apaches jumped tho Yerdo buckboard
tho very week after wo wero married ?' '
"And you spent half of the honey
moon scouting tho Tonto basin? J
should say so! What with a courtship
in a robbers' cave, n marriage in a cav
airy camp :r.d a wedding tour tn tad
die, you had a nni que experience. Wing,
but you deserved her. " And Drum
mond turns and grips his comrade's
hand.
wing is silent a moment. Hib eyes.
aro wistfnllv searching the elder's half
averted face.
"Jim, j-ou told mo awhile ago of your
sister's annroachinjr marriage. Are
you not going on?"
" Ys. It will b early in October.
She's blissfully happy, is Fnss, and
he's a very substantial, solid eort of a
fellow. I'm well content, at last, that
her future is assuicd."
"And yon aro afreo ajjent practical-
sengers wh aro to start in tho stout
built Concord drawn by four sleek,
strong looKlng mules, no v. standing m
the shade juar tho canvas homestead
of tho commanding officer.
ATesently two soluiers following a
young man in civilian dress como for
ward lugging a littlo green painted iron
safo and this, with a 6wing and a thud,
they deposit in tho wagon.
"You've seen that before, Eergeant,"
laughs tho civilian.
"I have, begad, an when it had a
heap moio green insido an less outside
than it has now. Faith. I never ex
pected to see it again, nor tho paymaster
either. Wo were both bored through
an through. 'Twas our good habits
that saved us. Sure your predecessor
was s game fighter, Mr. Barnes, if ho
was a tenderfoot."
"Yes, the major often tells mo ho
wishes ho had him back, and mo in the
place he has instead of tho ono ho had,"
answers tho clerk whimsically. "Does
he know j'ou're to command tho escort
in? You got him into such a scrape
then that he's never tired of telling of
it."
"Then ho may feel gratified at tho
honor I am doing him now. Sure it's
beneath the dignity of a first sergeant
to command a squad liko this except
on an extraordinary occasion, an it's to
take the taste of tho last timo out of his
mouth I volunteered to escort tho ma
jor dow. I was a strong tasto to last
five years, though my reminder will go
with me many a year longer. Here
they come now."
As tho eergeant Bpeaks a littlo group
of officers issues from tho battalion
commanuer s tent, a oremost among
them, in loose flapping raiment and
broad brimmed hat and green goggles,
is tho rotund and portly ehapo of .Major
Plummer, the paymaster.
"Well, old man," says the cavalry
leader, "j-ou can hardly get into a
scrapo 'twixt here and Sidney. We've
seen you through all right so far; now
we'll go 0:1 about our scouting. Your
old friend Feeny asked permission to
see you safely to tho railway."
"What, Feeny, and a first sergeant
too? I'm honored indeed! Well,
6ergeant,"he adds, catching sight of
tho grizzled red faco under tho old
scouting hat, "I'll promise to let you
run tho machine this time and not in

"All readv, sir. if tho major is."

about him.
"Yon 6eo yon wero new to the busi

"Feeny considgjaaou a war veteran

"Goodby all. Gocdby, Drummond.
Goodby, Wing. Here ! I must shake

ho doea; then is slowly "boosted" into j
his wagon, where, as the whip cracks

"Timo's gono by, I reefcon," laughs
Dmmmond, yet not merrily. "I'vo
had too much to think of too much
responsibility and probably have lost
my chance."
Wing looks as though ho wanted
mightily to eay something, but conquers
bis impulse.
"October is a long way off, " he flnal
h remarks, "and I thought you might
find earlier opportunity of going east.
Now that Ned has entiro charge of the
business in Arizona tho old gentleman
takes lifo easier. The winter in Cuba
did him a lot of good, and Fjta writes
that he seems so happy now, having hie
two girls and his littlo grandson under
tho same roof with his sister and her
children. What a reunion after all
these years!"
"Whero are they living in Chicago?"
"You would know better than L for
think of it! I havo never been east
of tho Missouri sinco my babyhood, "
answers Wing. "Fan writes that her
aunt has a lovely houso on what they
call tho North Side near tho great
waterworks at tho lake front."
"I know tho neighborhood well,"
says Drummond. "Chicago is as fa
miliar to mo as San Francisco was to
you. Only I have no roof to call my
own anywhere, and as eoon as Puss is
married shall not havo a relative or
friend on earth who is not much more
deeply interested iu somebody else."
And tho senior lieutenant is lying on
his back now, blinking up at tho rapid
ly scudding clouds. Presently ho pulls
the broad brim of his campaign hat
down over his eyes. "What do you
hear from your mother, Wing?"
"Nothing new. Bless the dear old
lady ! You should have seen her hap
piness in Harvey. Sho could hardly
bear to let the little fellow out of her
arms, and how sho cried and clung to
him when wo parted at tho Oakland
wharf! Poor littlo mother! Sho has
never given up tho hopo of seeing that
acapegraco of an undo of mine again.
"Has sho ever heard how ho tried to
murder his nephew?" queriea Drum
mond grimly.
"Never. Nor havo we tho faintest
traco of him Binco tho break up of the
old Morales gang at Fronteras. They
wont all to pieces after their encounter

of disasters! Lost their leaders and
three of their best men, lost their ren

mules for what our men didn't get

nothing except the 24 hour possession
of a safe they hadn't time to open.
Whereas I got my commission and my

"Didn't I get a letter of thanks from
the department commander?'
Drummond. "What else could
pect?"
"What else?" is Wing's impul
rejoinder. Then, as though mindful
of some admonition, quietinfir at once
and speaking in tono less suggestive,
"Well, in your case I suppose you can
be content with nothing, but blees me
if I could." Then, suddenly rising and
respectfully touching his weather beat

mvs the commander in his offhand

voice Drummond, too, is on hi3 feet in
a twinkling.
"Seen tho papers that camo in to

from his sentences all rer hai cuperflui
ties.
"Not yet, sir; any news?"
"H 1 to pay in Chicago, eo far as

taken firm hold there. Police and mi

aeainst the mob, and the authorities
are stampeded. Ybnr home, isn't it?
"It was once, sir, but that was many
a long year ago."
"W-e-ell," saya tho eolonel reflect
ively, stroking hia grizzled beard, "it'a

isn't the strikina? railway barada that
will do the mischief, but every time
there's a strike all the thieves and

in Pittsbnrg that's what's tho matter
in Chicaw. It looks lo mo as thouj
tho plea for regular troops would have

"Think we can get there, sir?" asks
Wine eagerly.
"Can'tsay. We'o supposed to have
our hands full covering this section of
Nebraska, thoaeh I haven't heard of a
hostile Sioux this summer. Besides,
they havo full regiments of infantry at
Omaha and along tho lakes. Doesn t
Mrs. Wing say anything about the
trouble?"
"Her letter is four days old, sir, and
only g ays her father looks upon tho sit
nation as ono of much gravity, but
women rarely see troubles of this kind
until they come te their doors."
" Well, this is The Times of two days
ago. It reached Sidney at breakfast
timo this morning, and Hatton brought
two or three copies out when ho came
with tho mail. I thought you two might
be interested." And with that the
eolonel goee strolling along down tho
bnk of the stream, pausing here and
there to chat with some officers or give
some or jer relativo to tho grazing of
tho horses ono of his especial "fads."
And this evening, just as the sun dis
appears over the li iv bluff lying to the
west and tho hoio s are being picketed
for tho night, while from a ecore of cook
fires tho appetizing savor of antelope
steak and tho aroma of "soldier coffee"
rise upon tho air, a littlo dust cloud
sweeps out from tho ravine into which
disappears tho Sidney road and comes
loating out across tho prairie. Keen
eyed troopers quickly note tho speed
with which it travels toward them.
Officer and men, who havo just been
looking to tho security of their steeds,
pause now on their way to euppcr and
stand gazing through tho gloaming at
tho coming cloud. In fivo minutes the
cause is apparent two swift riders,
nrging their horses to full speed, racing
for the fori. Five minutes more and
the foremost throws himself from tho
saddle in tho midst of the group at tho
colonel's tent an hand? that officer a
telegraphiclispjstch, which is received,

chagrin of tho courier and disappoint

says:

all'd better havo yours too."
"Why, blame his (Id hide!" jants
tho courier later, "tho quartermaster
told mo never to loso a second, but trit

And eo, finding tho secret out. the
colonel presently puts aside professional
sang froid and condescends to bo hu
man again. ;
"Get a hearty supper all round, gen
tlemen, then 'boots and saddles' and
away for Sidney!"
Two daj'e later. A fierco July sun is

gathered, holding aloof from tho reck

sight of riot and devastation resulting
