Tbwrt waa'a muTrirutt of thing arvuud blui to arvuaa Interest, wbkb to tbo plalnsmao meant fty or danger, Ufa or death, but wbkb would moan to aucb a man. Indeed, no mora than ao many blade of graaa.

And When euui ttrmely dnngeroua mis sion bad to u undertaken lb Kout often pussled the commander by re futing aid In tb abap of aquad or any chueen number of ldlr to ac company him. Hut actually It wa the part of discretion to do eo, aa going tloo or with on or two cboeeo com rade whom you knew to be true blue waa a precaution that favored your ewo safety, aa every acoat naturally picked tb very beat mount and rod one aud bad what I called a "lead hurnp," weH trained, to follow and taud by blii lu every emergency, tie bad only blimwlf to look out for, and with a gnod lead bore la a race fur ttf bad a frettb remount Therefor I alwaya kepi myself well provided with well trnlnrd etoeda, who became " wonderfully proficient In acentlng dan ger and even gam. Tb fact that your borae were unshod wa another potl to a trailing Indian, aa a ahod ban print gar him a clew to a white nan'a presence or lb proslrolty of tb military. On of my rue wa to tak with tu a bugler of tb Fifth cavalry named Kerabaw, who devel oped a rapacity for comradeship In aucb adventure. Kerabaw, after re tiring from the army, became chief of police at Cheater, Pa, near Philadel phia, and died there aeveral year ago. Generally I preferred, Ilk other, go ing alone, aa then I had only tnyeelf to look out for. . I took Kwrahaw wltb me often, aa I knew tbe country wa Infested with TM imfjl call Hire w Uiem into confusion. large bands of Indian, when It was too dnngcrou to travel In daytime and your object could be beat accomplished In tbo ulht. His value as "a striker" can be best explained by the following Incident: On one ocensjon wo slept dur big the day In a well wooded box can yon, nenr n little stream of water, with plenty of graaa for tbo horses to browse on, aud at the same time we were bid 3en from vlow, Toward ovonlug, whon We thought It convenient to coutlnue our scout. Just as we were about to emorge from our biding place a large band of Indians assembled down the canyon to ennip for the nlbt Mount ed aa they were, It was useless for us to attempt flight, so. moving farther backward In the woods, we remained concealed until thoy had settled down. There was no way to got out except a danh through the Indian village. W dared not stay till daylight, as they if MA - f f An A . isrps PLAINS ooov might find our trail, and they would bav u corriillmi.ao w quietly walli d until they bad Buttled down, when w mounted aud auenked toward tb edge of tbe village, where there was an ave nu of escapo. Tbelr fultbful dogs, of course, alarmed tbt camp, so tb beat We could do was to make a ditab out wheel and Are a quick aa w could, and Kershaw with hi faithful bugle blew the " charge, Hiding quickly around th village, w mad another little firing at them and sounded tb buglo charge again. A repetition of this at another point and a bugle ebarg threw tbn into confuxlun, ttampedttd their ponies, prevented tbelr quick mounting, and while they went lu one direction bold Kershaw and myaelf were riding in another. Natu rally, of enure, tb! gay tb Indian something to think of In tb night while we gut to tb post and Informed Colonel Uoyal of tb location and, wltb Major Brown, Captain Bueb, Lieuten ant Jack Ilaye and a detachment of cavalry, went on the trail, whh h was followed for two days, and tbe Indians wert severely poulsbed, with but few caeualUe on our aide. , Getting fresh meat for Fort Sheridan, we were greatly annoyed at times on our buffalo bunt by being Jumped by tb Indians, wbo In too day were generally out wltb tbe same object Many a hot aktroiisb or many a run for It waa necessary. Buffalo natural ly war torn distaoc from tb fort and I thought of a trick by which I could glv my red brother a aurprls. In a run for It a few mile from tb fort wa a hogback that furnished a good defensive position, and I bad often noticed that It bad a long, deep, busby ravine. It waa In th nature a!tit of natural fortldcatlon. 8o I thought bow I could get them to re peat tbelr many attack on me when I ran to tbt particular point from which 1 could algual for help to tb fort with hasty grass Ore and "muke that talked." Uuffaloe were at the time plentiful. o I secured Kerthsw and about fifteen good marksmen, with provUluns for tbe trip, and start ed out before daylight for tb bunt Hiding th soldiers in tbt ravtue, w proceeded on our Journey and bad not the wagons half filled before my striker. Bill While, announced Indians In the, distance, "and a big band, too," aid lilll. Awsy we went for the hog back, and It wa Uckety split wltb tb Indian gaining on na every min ute. W reached It threw" our wseoee Into position, packed our buffois hams, out for breastworks, throw some straw tbout and gathered up some dead graaa to make signal The In diana, seeing It knw that relief would com and tbey hadn't a mo ment to los If tbey wanted ourcalps. On tbey came, daahlng around. My aelf and teamster and flv or all of us banging away at them, tbey cir cled -arouud and drew off, a tbey commonly did, 'and at' a distance of about aeventy-Ove jarda from the am bush. Aa usunl, they bunched togeth er. Ilatonlng- to tbe wrangle of the chief, llnngt Dang! Bang! And the old Winchester began to taltt from the ravine, while Kershaw with bis bnglo Wow the charge, the Indiana tumbling here, there and everywhere out of their saddle, the rest scattering wltb the apeed of Jack rabbits In all dlroctlona. Assembling oo the distant hills, they realised that the Jig waa op, particularly when tbey saw he cavalry coming In the distance. Some how or other during the remainder of the season tbey never seemed to mo lest tbe butcher wagon with the am appetite. Aud th fort alway had fresh meat " 1 ' A country of ucb vast expanse, on ottled save for a few forts as placet of refngo and succor ao comparatively few In number as to be, aa It were, Ilk pebble on. the" seashore, rendered the campaign In whiter, with tbe blltzard conditions, not only baaardou and dangerous,- but even If successfully combated attended by excruciating suf fering. This tbe old army officer and soldiers of the early campaign will never forget, tbe physical discomfort and mental worrying with climatic conditions far excelling those that de feated Napoleon In hit winter cam paign In the region about Moscow. I rclnto two or three examples. On one occasion I was out with som of tbe Fifth cavalry under the command of Lioutenant Uaeho, a descendant of Denjamln Franklin and a member of a well known Philadelphia family and. by the way, a inngniacent young offi cer, who In various campaigns showed a bravery and dnsb that one would not associate with his aristocratic bear ing and extreme gentility. A blhward arose. Fortunately we were nonr shel ter lu, the shape of some bluffs an4 scattered wood,: When the bllxisard was over It waa tiecesaary for us to strike out on the path of duty. Tha thermometer was away below sero and the wind cutting and sharp. On comlm? buck from the lend to con sult with Lieutenant Cnolio I passed by him to cuutlon the sergeant to look out for tbolr men fiom the cold and see that they did not become drowsy, and on my return I found Indication of numbness and drowsiness even In the case of the lieutenant. I aroused him and appealed to falra to pull him self together, but b was Just In tb humor to rukoni It. lu consequetic 1 bad to dike the law Into my own bands and (link him up In lively styl. first taking the precaution of dipping his revolver and pluclng It out of bl reach. At be did not respond to my effort on tbe borne, I simply dismount ed, pulled him from th bort and used him lu what one would think t rather rud and rough manner. In fact I bad to make a punch bag and foot ball out of him, much to th astonish ment of tome of th young troopers, who came op and were going to avenge my apparent discourtesy to tbelr offi cer, though some of tbe older men ex plained It necessity. Eventually 1 got the lieutenant on bl feet, nd while our horses were being taken csr of an old sergeant nd myself bustled blra along on a little foot race until we got bl blood In circulation, and so, over coming tb danger, w eventually ar rived safely at the fort On another occasion wben out with General Eugene A. Carr, wltb whom I consulted pnd who, by the way, was on of the bust posted snd equipped Indian f!ghtre and frontiersmen oo tb roster of tbe army, w both coo eluded that on account of th peculiar balmy condition of tbe weather a bits sard would be tb next thing In order. Bo w resolved to strlk camp early, a we were then in a bleak country v ...-"yfM..!- 1 In ox blinding bltotnl. and over fifty mile from wood and water. Tbla wood and water wer lu a lower country, where there wa only on gap wbkb would furnish descent Into tb valley, and that bad to be reached by careful attention to direc tion. Starting early aud getting tbe point of tbe wlud, w bad not gone far be fore old Boreas began bla revels. Gen eral Carr, of course, gav order to th commanding officer of companies Id regard to preventing drowsiness of tb men and to quirt them In case of any of tbeia succumbing to tb cold. I a hall long remember that trip, for It waa necessary for me to go by tb wind and not flinch from It for In th blinding bllxzard w would all soon b lost Tbe direction brought the wind against my left ear. aud, aa tbe atorm soon became so blinding that even a black borne could not b seen ten feet from tb picket ropes, lariat lines wer scattered along to guide tbe men, who kept so cloet almost as to touch each horse' tnIL But I dared not change my position for fear of losing th di rection, so for eight hours I held my left cheek and ear against the storm and, of course, suffered greatly 'from frostbite. ( dared not dismount as did many of tbe others, General Carr hlmaelf welklng nearly all tbe dis tance, lendlhg bla horse. I bad stuffed my ear wltb a piece of saddle blanket but notwithstanding that the eardrum was frown, and for a time It gave me Intense pahs and Buffering, and np to the present day it ha quite affected my hearing en that aide. But by this pertinacity we reached the gap, and when I had made the point success fully and the descent down Into the canyon beonme assured there were never men who let out such yells and paeans of Joy. On another occasion I had a very try ing experience when General Penrose'a command bad been sent to reconnottsr the surrounding country by General Sheridan and were known to have been somewhere in a blizzard. Not bearing from them for several dnya. we knew thoy were up against It, but aa alt trails were covered and obliterated by the drlftlur snow it was a minis problem to llnd them. General C.:rr, of course, con'iulted with me In th.- mat ter, and be relates the Incident In de tail In "Cai r's Onmpnlgns" of my auc ccss In tlndlng the men. in this In stance, knowing In what direction they had gone. I had to travel fifteen miles to find n rhle that they would cross and that fie storm would blow the snow away from and leave bare. Fol lowing thin rldo for five miles or more, I found the trail of their horses and wagon where they had crossed and by the hoof tracks located the d! rectloti In which they had gone. 1 suc ceeded In reaching them, snowed In and in n terrible condition, for every thing had (icon enton np to such pn extent thai the horses and mule had eaten the manes 'and tails off each other.
