H a 1 d w I u learned that the Indiana had with them t w o white girl captives and hlfli desire to rescue them reinforced his desire for n fight on general principles. The lieutenant looked his men over and saw that they had a stomach for the com ing Bcrlmmage. With the command of four Blx-mule tcama, Bald win feared that a de tachment of the rods might flank him when ho was making his chargo and kill his mules and destroy his field necessities. Ho Frank D. Haldwln hna been In ao many lights for his country that the counting of them as sumes the proportion of a mathematical problem. For yeara upon yenrs after the civil war In which he distinguished himself time and again, he fought nearly every form of Indian that he plains of the United States has pioduccd. Thoio was one light In which Haldwln was engaged which de serves a place In song and story, If some song or story writer could lie found ennui to tho oc casion. In the days of the campnlgu of which this light was a feature there was only one bar on Baldwin's shoulder, for ho was a junior first lieutenant of Infantry. The campaign wna a long one and the llghtB followed faat and followed faster. While on detached service In Newport, Ky., In June, 1874, Haldwln heard thnt his regiment was to be ordeied, under Col. Nelaon A. Miles, to make an expedition Into tlm. Indian territory. Tho lieu tenant went to the front as fast aa a train and ft horse could carry him. When ho reported for duty Mites, who knew Baldwin's record In tho civil war, put him In command of tho scouts of tho expedition," n command thnt was composed partly of whites and pnrtly or Indiana. With his scout h back of him Lieut. Baldwin had a dozen engagements, ono after another, with the confederated bands of Cheyennes, Klo was, ArapahoeB and tho southern Comnnches. The one light, however, which for picturesque ness standa out most piomlnently In the bnttlo list, did not take pluco until after Baldwin had been In the Held for many months. U wns tho light of his life, not In tho engngement'a alzo nor yet,' perhaps, In Hb Importance, but In what an olllcer who saw It declares to have been "Us howllngly funny fea tures." It was picturesque and It wns funny all right, but it was dangerous as well, and Haldwln loat Homo of his men, and took his own life in hla hands 20 times before ho won his splendid victory ugalnst tremendous odds. Tho daring of tho thing was iccognlzed by Col. Miles, by the gen eral commanding the department, nnd by tho congress of tho United Statos, which gave Bald win IiIb second medal of honor Tor his work on 'that day. liy ono of the military freaks of for tune Haldwln, aliough only a lieutenant, found himself In November, 1874, In com mand of D company of the Fifth infantry, D troop of tho Sixth cavalry, and of 12 of tho scouts of the organization with which ho had originally taken tho field. Ho had about 100 men all told when ho 'reached tho banks of MeCIella-i's Creek, Tex There he found In front of him fully COO Indian warriors splendidly armod and apparently lusting for a light. Kvery urmy ofllcer who afterwards learned tho e'reum- know ho could not leave a detachment to guard tho wagons because It would wouV.cn his forco to a point which would make victory over tho reds practically Impossible. Haldwln went to tho tcamaters and said: "I can't leave a forco with you ns a guard, and you've got to charge with us. I want you to put your teams In tho center or tho charging line and make thoso mules lly straight into the mid dle or things." It, probably was the first time In history that mule drivers, mules and wngons hnd been ordered to participate as an offensive part of n cavalry chargo. The Infantry on this occasion was mount ed. The mule drivers lost all sense of the danger In tho fun of tho thing. They told the lleutennnt thnt with "good ciiBslng," and with good lashing, they could lead tho cavalry a mile. Tho BOOlndlniiB woro on n plateau with sides shelving gradually down to tho plalna. Baldwin's plan was nothing less thnn tho seemingly reckleaa ono of crossing the open with IiIb men und wagons, sweeping up the incline nnd driving tho enemy, If ho could, or lighting him hand to hand, If ho must. The horsemen rodo up In line with the four mulo tennis abreast at tho lino's center. There wns a word of command, n trumpet note or two, nnd tho lino swept across tho plain with tho mules on a keen Jump, with black snake whips cracking and tho dilvera saying things which a mulo understands. Tho reds turned looso at tho advancing hun dred. Men and horses on tho right and loft wont down hero and there, but .ho mules in tho center with their huge wagons rucking nnd clntterlng behind them swopt on with never a acrntch. Tho reds on tho phitoau kept up tholr fusillade. Up up, up tho incllno, tho mules lending by yards all tho wny, swopt tho blue detachment. Tho rogulnrs were daring and fighting as America regulars nlways daro and fight. One of the teamsters afterwards swore that he could aeo Chief Gray Board's oyoa popping with fear at""tho sight of tho charging mulos. The luvol of tho plateau wns reached and horses, men, mules nnd wngonB went hurtling forwnrd. Tho teamsters woro standing, cracking their whips nnd howling. Infantrymen and cavalrymon caught tho spirit of tho thing nnd howled in uni son. Thoso four mulo tenniB went Btrnlght through tho heart of tho big baud of Gray Beard's Klo was and Araphaoca.- Moanttmo overy carbine and ovory Long Tom was cracking, nnd with ono last volloy tho warriors of tho aillod tribes fled, leav ing their dead nnd wounded and their whlto cap tives on the field. Lieut. Baldwin found that the two white girl prisoners woro uninjured, nnd not long after tho fight they woro restored to their parents. For this chargo and for this victory Lieut. Baldwin was breveted n captain and was given a medal of honor, but b" al ways hasmnlntalned thnt the medal should have gone to the mules. On the retired Hat of tho nrmy with Gen. B a 1 d w 1 n Is Hrig.-Gen. John B. Habcoek, . a close friend of the man who led tho mule team chargo and a frequent visi tor to Washington. It Is doubtful If Gen. BabcocUs nearest neighbors In his lit tle country home In Sarato ga county, N. Y., suspect anything of the fire eating possi bilities that He hidden In tho per boii of this gray-haired peaceful looking and rotlcent man. Gen. Habcoek left the service not long ngo and at once depnrted for the little place In the foothills or the Adirondack mountntns where ho might gratify his love of coun try life. If the general rofuses to talk of his army achievements to hla neighbors and If they nro curi ously Inclined they might send for a government record, which, though only live lines long, con tains in It the nub of the story of one of tho most gallant feats ever performed by an officer of the United StateB army. " The glory reaped from the achievement consists of a little bronze mednl voted to the soldier by congress, tho consciousness or duty well done and five lines In the wnr department record which few people ever sec. John B. Habcoek went Into the nrmy at the outbreak of tho civil war as an en listed inuii. Ho attracted attention by his gallant ry as a volunteoT, and the year 18C8 found him a first lieutenant of the Fifth Itegulnr cavalry. In tho spring of the fourth year of peace after the civil war that Is to Bay peace between white men tho Klowns, the Arapahoes and tho Cheyennes mado western Nebraska, western Kansas and eastern Colorndo a section of whnt John Hay might havo called "Kilt-edged hell." Lieut. Hnbcock, In the absence of his captain, was ordered to the command of n troop of cavalry and to take tho field. With his trooper followers Habcoek was far In udvunco of tho main command on the frontier or Nebraska. Thoy reached the bank of Spring creek on the morning of May 1G, 1869. While there a band or 250 or the best warriors or tho plalna ap peared In front or tho cavalry troops as though tho savages had como from the ground. Lieut. Babcock caught sight of the reds In time to give him a mo ment or two for preparation. Ho would not run nnd ho could not attack, for ho was completely sur rounded and the savages outnumbered his force mofo thnn six to one. Babcock gave a quick order and with IiIb men dashed for a bit or high ground, a plateau-like formation with Its flat surface occupying a llttlo more than nn acre. The instant ho reached the place selected ho ordered his troopers to dismount and to Intrench themselves as well bb they could. Tho men lost no time In throwing up earth enough to glvo them some slight protection from tho bul lets which wore pouring In. Babcock would not get off his horsp, nlthough his men begged him to do bot nnd they were kept from dragging their commanding officer to the ground and to placo of partial safety only by. In stilled discipline nnd by Babcock's peremptory com mnnda to leave him nlono. The Indians advanced within range and protect ed themselves In the hollows of tho pralrlo. They st.it volley after volley up the Incllno to tho hilltop and man after man behind the poor earthwork protection wns stricken. Babcock continued his ride up and down the lino. His blouse wns cut twice by bullets but his men did not know It. "Boys, they can't hit a, thing," said Babcock. "They've been shooting nt me and no bullot has como nearer than tho north pole. Glvo It to 'em. Hold 'cm off nnd relict will bo hero In no time." Tho shots from tho Spencers and Ilonrys of tho savages, or from most of them, ceased hitting tne extemporized earthworks. Tho men lying prono knew that nearly all the projectiles were passing over their heads and they know also that ovory paintod warrior antagonist was turning loose at tho figure of the commanding officer riding back nnd forth on his horso us indlfferontly as if thero were not an Indlnn on tho frontier. No one In that troop ovor know why Babcock was not killed. The Indians Bald afterwnrds that ho had somo "big medlclno" with him that turned away tho bullots. Finally a shot cut Babcock's boot ami wounded his horse, he turned tho animal about quickly so that Its other Hank was toward the men, to whom ho serenely Bald: "Thoso fellows can't hit a barn door." Tho commanding officer continued to ride up and down tho lino and tho bullots continued to cut the air all about him. Suddenly overy savage head showed at once. Tho troopers Blniiimed in n volloy that claimed Bonie,victlms. Tho showing heads woro followed by showing bodies and in another Instant the warriors wcro erect and running to tho far rear for their ponies. Thoy mndo off, leaving their dead nnd wounded bohlnd them. Fur ovor tho plains, Llout. Babcock, from his horso, biiw the main column ad vancing. Belief was In sight. Tho enlisted mon told tho story or Bnbcock's bravery, and congress gave him u medul or honor. Later tho olllcer, who Is now living In retirement, distinguished himself twlco In action ngnlnst the Apaches at Tonto Creek and nt the Four Peaks In Arizona. Thero ho won tho brovet rauk of lieutenant-colonel to add to tho honor couierred by his congressional medal sf bronze. Of Bad Scaling and Itching. "I havo been successfully cured of dry eczoina. I was Inspecting tho re moval of noxious weeds from the edge of a river and was constantly In tho dust from tho weeds. At night I cleansed my limbs but felt a prickly sensation. I paid no attention to It for two years but I noticed a scum on my logs like fish scales. I did not attend to It until It came to be too Itchy and sore and began getting two running sores, My ankles wero all soro and scabby and I could not wtyir shoes. I had to uso carpet and felt slippers for weeks. I got a cake of tho Cutlcura Soap and somo Ciitlcura Ointment. In less than ten days I could put on my bootB and in less than thrco weeks 1 was free from tho con founded itching. Cnpt. George P.
