It was a ilreary. desolate plnos tho ouly sijni of ejetstion Ih-Idk tho np'tirOHh, tho great) wetnl and taucbea of cactus everywhere.

So dimually calm was the laudcapo that even the tuzuird liesiutml In his stately flight, aud tho little gray hawk sailed on aud on, doubtless with bis eyes cloned to tho earth. As a general thing there was amuw meut enough at the fort. Men ajwigned to the xwt made op their minds that tbey depended upon ea'h other for amuiteuieuts, aud their wives shared tho sumo btdief, aud then were they not sol diers, and were not the women soldiers' wives? Put of course the little petty jlousit and little petty quarrel crept luto that particular post juxt tbo same as they bad crept Into every other ptt and would coutinuo to creep in as long as the goverumeut supported forts and as long as mm and women lived and breathed, for that matter. It was ry lonely around the pft now, for the men bad gone to tho f rout. The war hud been declared. That awful specter, dreaded by every wife of a soldier and longed for by the men, bad come. There was considerable speculation as to its probable length and much fear that they would not be calif d out, they were so fur removed from tbe railroad.' Perhaps tbe war department would not even re member tbe fort was lu exintence. Tbe women were not anxious for tbe war. Tbey knew what it meant Their laces were Tery sad when tbe order came calling out tbo four troops of cav alry that made up the post.

"1 am a soldier's w ife, sho replied proudly. lho ruh was soon over, and tlio men wore now mounted and rvudV to nil Tbe ofllwr I ado their wives go.xlliy, and tbey, ti, sprang into tho addl. Tho bugle sounded, and tlm troops took op tho murch over to the rallnmd. The women tO"d and looked acMa tho suu cursed plain until every particle of diml rnlo.1 I v the liorm-s bad s ttK-l. until all the world api-ared Juwt as before. aud then each went into her own liouoa. Tliot iiIl-Ii! thev leathered at the malor's house aud sat gaing out over the dark ened plslu and spoke of the ati-nt oue. The long weary waiting had begun. Tb louelinef was more luuusu tnsn ever at the fort. Five troopers and a lieutenant bad teen left to guard the property and the women, and they wre tho mil alana of life down around the quartors and tho stables. The lieutenant was morose and gloomy that be should have been selected as tne one to remain behind and was not aooounted much company to tbe women tue Drst low days, but gradually bo become recon rlli.l to his fate and sat with them ev ery evening aud talked of tbe probable length of abm-nce or tne men ana uis- CONsed the improbability of action. ii Tbey scut once m wee lor toe mail. Tbe flriit letter and papers brought word that the four troop bad Joined their reuiment. and the letter were filled with gooalp about the officers and their families, for a regiment I nangnt l.nt (,n lnruo. fiiinilv. Then came davs cf watching and waiting, and the next was tho movement of troop tot-antiaga Then tho womeu knew thnt tho war bod begun in earnest. Tho full realiwi- tbm df it cumo home to them. Tho older u-nmen reineliiLered When it Was UOth ing for their husband to bo ordered out to sunureHS tho Indians, whllo ono oi two remembered thu civil war, but theru wu nothing of that kind for tbo wife of the second lieut 'imnt to reuiein lirr. Slio carried herself bravely, how ever, and proudly snld thnt sho was tho wlfo of a soldier and nil soldier wive should bo bravo, a remiirk that greatly Til.. nunc! thn other. . . . . . , Tho women learned moro nnoui ncr now that her husband was not present to nmnopolizn all her time. Thry learned that sho was quito nlono in tho world, except for him; that sho was nn orphun and that tho aunt who bad reornd her bad died. This iiirreused their sympathy for her, if thut wcro possible?, for she had thoir sympathy already. Tin y could soo that her tliotights wi ro all of her hus band, but if they endeavored to spenk word of comfort to her sho rrpliud, "I am n soldier's wifo." Tho n!ws traveled slowly to thorn. That perhaps was tho hardest. Their huHbands might, Ikivo been in battlo uud liava been wounded or killed ; tho four troops might bo wiped out und it would bo fully n week before they would know it. When tho pnpers did nrrlvo, thero wn.H a hurried glimon ut tho bendliues and then for tho regiineutal head. Tho buttlo of Hantlago had been fought and won. Tho now bud been telegraphed undersoil and overland aud tho papers hud como out with tho particulars under displuy headlines. It wus just a week uftcr thut tho pupers reuohed tho fort. Tho trooper brought them in the evening und delivered them to tho womou, sitting nndir tho Cotton wood trees thut skirted tho purado ground. Tho wifo of tho second linnten uut hud gone for a walk and wus not with them. A cry buret from tho whito lips of the womou. Tho houdliues told them thut thoir men hud been in tho thick of tho fight. Thoy glanced down the columns, rcud tbe account and of tho deeds of bravery of thoir men. They road the list of tho dead and wounded. The wife of tho second lieutenant cumo up to them. Sho saw tho papers lying iu tbo laps of the women; sho gluncod at thoir fuoos. She road the truth. "There has Leon a battlo?" she said intorrogatively. "Yes," said ono of the women, "Aud Bobort?" she ankod.
