"Oh, God! My Uttlt ont."
There was silence and anxiety in th
long range of winter camps shout th
gency. The Twelfth were gone, no-,
body knew just where; but over to th
north, over toward those frowning "Bad
Lands" all the more wild and treacher
ous now that the snow had filled every
rift and crevice, for the jagged surface
was one mass of pitfalls other battal-
ions of horse were also gone, and th
vigilant watch over those Indians still
clustering about their old haunts in tlx
Talley was redoubled. The heavier gum
of the field battery commanded the
moky lodges, the lighter pieces wert
away with the cavalry. The infantry,
muffled to their eyebrows, manned the
rifle pits and guard line and threw theit '
sheltering wings over the deserted
camps. For good or for ill. the crisis
was at hand. Whatsoever doubt had
existed as to the almost universal hos
tility of the Sioux was banished by the
events of the preceding week. The at
tempted ambush of Sergeant Ellis, ol
Berrien's advance guard, the attack
upon the scouts and couriers at the Por
cupine, and, lastly, the affair at the
Wolf, in which Brewster a second time
had gained distinction, all pointed un
erringly to one conclusion: whatsoever
might be their assurances to officials
high in rank, to agents whose power
would be at end were war to ensue, to
self constituted framers of public opin
ion, every soldier on the spot knew, and
well knew, that the Indians wonld be
peaceable only in presence of a formida
ble force of bluecoata. but that nothing
but ambush and massacre awaited the
whites who ventured forth unguarded
Up to this moment, however, of all those
gathered at the scene the only troops
which had had actual collision with the
Sioux were of Berrien's battalion.
Far away south at the Pawnee old
Kenvon had been doing his utmost to
till the aniious fears among the fami-
lies of the absent soldiers. There had
been lively excitement when the papers
arrived giving sensational details of Ber
rien's wound and of the affair at the
Porcupine, bnt it was as nothing to that
which prevailed over the tidings of the
imminent peril in which Mrs. Bernen
and Winifred had been placed. That it
was just like Mrs. Berrien to insist on
joining her wounded husband at once
was conceded by all. but opinions dif
fered as to the propriety of her course in
taking Winifred with her. This the
major ueciue.1 oy prompt assertion that ! Jugt get the little ones around you to

been decidedly nnlike Miss Berrien to
have stayed at home."
And then came the dread news that

forced by a reckless gang of fanatical

Lands, bad broken away, and that all
the regiments had gone to bead them off

borhood whence were derived the items
on which correspondents based their re
ports and editors their comments, shared
the usual fate of the absentee, and hav
ing sustained the only casualties and in
flicted the only punishments yet heard
cf about the agency, was now coming in
for its share of the "toujours tort" to
which it was, of course, justly entitled.
Kenyon first glared at and then exploded
over a dispatch which read somewhat as
follows: ;
"All hope of bloodless solution of the i
difficulty is now at an end. Even the '
most peacefully disposed among the res
ervation Indians are furious over what
they do not hesitate to term the slaugh
ter of their clansmen in the three affairs
that have recently occurred, and it is an
open secret that at general headquarters
the gravest annoyance is felt over the
total overthrow of carefully laid plans,
All caused by the injudicious conduct of
certain hot headed officers of cavalry.
The friends of White Wolf, the princi
pal 'brave' shot by Major Berrien's
troopers, declare that he and those with
bim were friendly and were only striving
to reach the major with the news that
couriers were coming, hoping thereby to
earn something to eat, for they were
. cold and hungry when they were fired
.on without warning, and even while
making signals of peace and friendship

"As for the affair at Wolf creek after

1 If this is what the Twelfth is to get for
j -a mere affair of outputs,' what the
, devil will be said of them if they should
get into a regular pitched Kittle? Here,
j Mr. Adjutant, dump that paper in the
j tire, and dou't let a woman at the post
i know anything about it. Know it al
ready? How the mischief could they?"
"There were half a doieu of them, sir,
at Mrs. Batlett's reading another copy
of that paper as 1 came down. And poor
Mrs. Thorpe is crying her eyes out. She's
been utterly npset since the news came
that the Twelfth had been sent out.
Oood liod, sir, she's coming iu tiowf
It was indeed poor Mrs. Thorpe who
entered, pallid, her eyelids swollen with
weepiug. Old Kenvon was on his feet
in an instant and leading her to a chair.
"Me dear madam, mv dear madam
be began, "you must not give way so. 1
amnre you there is no cause for such
dread aud anxiety. Do strive to control
yourself."
-1 cannot! oh. Major Kenvon, 1 can-
not! 1 have been through so "much, such
fearful scenes!" she sobbed, wringing
her nervous hands, rocking to and fro
iu an agouy of grief. "Oh, it is easy
for those who have not lived the life we
had to live in the old days to counsel
patience, calmness. 1 was only a chijd
then, kneeling at my mother's side when
the news came in that widowed half the '
women in the post. 1 spent my girlhood
in the regiment. How many are left of

then? Mother was only one of a dozen
whose hearts were broken broken as.
oh. Uj1! 1 feel mine is to lie. They took
my father long years ago, now they de
mand my husband, my babies' father,
my all. their all! O God! O God."'
"Sobbing, rocking to and fro iu her
uncontrollable grief, the poor girl clung
to Kenvon s hand, and the old fellow's
eyes blinked and smarted with the tears
be conld uot quite force back. He laid
the other hand udou her bowed and
gwaving head.

try to deceive you. I can't think the
Twelfth is to bear the brunt of this
business. They don't belong in that de
partment at all. Tbey are only bor
rowed from here, and surely there are
troops enough there, more than enough,
to overawe that pestilent gang. All that
is necessary will be to surround the In
dians, let them see what a force we
have, and they'll knuckle down. Dou't
cry so, Mrs. Thorpe: don't cry, my
child. Let me take yon over home now.
don't believe the Twelfth will have to
pull another trigger. Think how many
other regiments and commands there are

"1 do, 1 do, and 1 pray and pray, bat
no comfort comes. Did you ever know
time when they were not in the thick
of the fight? Did you ever hear of any
time when the loss did not fall heaviest
on us?"
"Don't think of that now," he pleaded.
"Don't borrow trouble from either past
or future. Come, let me take yon home,
there's a good girl. 1 tell you if that
band hasn't surrendered they've scat
tered all over creation, and you can no
more catch them than you can than

; the sun has r.seu above the eastern hills,
and. as the light broadens even where it
' cannot warm, there floats upon the air
from faraway at the southwest, faint
! and clear, a cavalry trumpet call; soft
; at first, then crescendo, it ceases sud
denly iu shrill high note. It thrills
through and through a rare atmosphere
unruffled by the fleeting wing of har
diest bird. Like the wistful call of scat-
; tered quail it seems to say, "Where are I

: coming of faithful mate, listen again!
from the dim recesses to the north,
somewhere among these lr and des-
, olate slopes, the answer rises, quick,
ringing, even imperative, and the signal
reads, "This way."

"rorwardP rings the signal from the
southwest. Forward with them, then,
around that point at the low bind to our
front, and iu the ghostly, gathering
light the scene is before us, the tale u
almost told.
There, thickly dotting the prairie and
covering the low ground, its wigwams
smoke begrimed and dingy, lies an In
dian encampment: but even iu such
shelter as this the hostile horde has
fared far ln-tter than they who through
the loug, frevxiug uight have kept watch
aud ward lest again the warr chief
should slip through the meshes.
It has
come at lat. The big warrior's fanat
ical braves have made their rush, Ber
rien's men the tackle, llack flew the
signal with the setting huu. I'p through
tue night came Fariiuhar with "(he
guards."
Here iu front the four old troo'is we
know so well have shivered for hours
almut the village. Here, alert and de
termined. Kolfeand Uatlett. Thorpe and
Uortium, have clung to front, flank and
rear, well knowing that mi soon as the
colonel got the tie ws die would not only
IetHt the second battalion on Its way, i
but. gathering any other forces he could
find, would ride the long uight through, ;
if need were, to join his men.
Stern and silent Rolfu is standing at
the bank of the stream, wearied enough,
yet certain that there is no rest before
them. On hi m us senior the command
has devolved iu the absence of the be
loved major now being tenderly nursed
and comfortably trundled homeward in
the warm interior of a Pullman. No
excitement, uo cheer attends the coming
of the column now at steady, soldierly
gait winding into the shallow depression.
Kolfe knows that without Farquhar aud
his re-enforcements attack npotior inter
ference with so formidable a band would
be worse than dcsjicraUon. He knows
that with Farqnhar his own position will
be only that of subordinate, and that he
must oliey. He knows how. were he su-'
preme, a thousand trooper at his back, '
he would conduct matters now. But !
Farquhar is a soldier long accustomed I
both toobedience and tocouimand; Rolfe
is one to whom obedience comes with i
laggard grace, to whom command is op-1
portunity for lavish vent of his imperious i
will. j
Orders or no orders, if he had the ;
power he wonld deal death to the rabid j
renegades before him. Orders to "bring
on the Indians, but not bring on a fight,"
to his thinking are orders like those
which should forbid a man's going to
water until he had learned to swim. 1
Orders to disarm bnt uot molest are '
simply something to be laughed to scorn.

"Who doesn't? but" A suggestive
shrug of tho shoulders indicates tho
brother captain's opinion. "You know

"Well I, I can't understand what you
have against them tmth or either," is
Haslett'a reply. j
"And I can't explain here or now, but '
wait till we're home again, llaxlett, it
we ever get there." j
Farther down to the left two othef'
troop commanders have been watching
the symptoms among the swarming
lodgiW. I
"There'll la) the devil's work this day, j
Tliori'," says Gorham at last with;
gloomy brow. i
And Thorpe only Ihiws his head.
Three hours later hiok upon the scene, j
The open prairie on the hither side of
the village is no longer tenautless, as it j
was at dawn. Two parallel lines con- j
front each other there.
In dogged submislou to the orders of
their captors and the mandate of the
big while chief which lias lieen laid be
fore them, silent, sullen, mumVd to the
eyes in dingy robe or blanket, thebrnvee

line, scores of their liercest and bravest.
Others still lurk among the sipiaws and
lodges. Others peer with glittering.
malignant eyes from under heaps of
foul smelling robes or partieehe. Those
in the outing glance but furtively at the
blue line Ix'fore theiit. They are silent
as the dead, yet the war cry trembles on
their lips. They wait, but wait expectant.
They crouch, but it is the tiger's
crouch, ready for a spring. The word

Back among those brown, dingy to

arescurrving to and fro; children are
being huddled aw.iv to the farther side. 1
"Look at that. Curly," mutters Warren
nnder his frozen mustache, as he passes
rapidly along in rear. "Im't that enough
to show they mean mischief?" Some of
the Indian police and Interpreters are
still searching for warriors in hiding.
Yet has not the old chief bowed his as
sent to the orders and given his direc
tions that his people should comply?
Nothing must be. can be done so long as
the Indian makes no overt move. The
dismounted men of two tnois are in
loug single rank. Some of the men
shiver a little, for cold and excitement
are telling now, as in many cases over
coats hare lieen thrown aside, but brave
men tremble of ft tines until the first shot
comes, and then the nervous strain is
gone, fo'' the hot blissl leaps and tingles

In simultaneous crash the flame and I

Down goes many a sturdy soldier, vet
eran sergeant, brave faced boy. The
line reels with the sudden shock, bnt In
an instant men like Thorpe and Brews
ter and Randolph leap forward among
tho men aud their voices ring with the
clamor of battle. Back up the slope,
scurrying, stisiping low, firing, dropping
iu their tracks, the Indians are making

to anything, stopping at nothing, are too
I much for men trained to fight only as

just as her clutch is on his hair, her
