ABSOLUTELY PURE
OOPVniOHT BY AMERICAN PRESS A69O0IATIOK, ISSI
Tbe red man is a wild beast or mglier
type than the tiyer, but be haa all the
InBtincta and characteristics of the
dreaded animal. The tiger sleeps by
day and roams abroad when darkness
comes. The Indian does the same when
left to his own will if circumstances do
not prevent. His vision at night is animal-like
and his scent is keener when
the sun goes down.
The captain passed around the forti
fication as soon as the firing died away
to see wnat loss bad, been sustained.
One man and two horses had been
slightly wounded. He gav orders that
one-half of them should prepare them
selves such a meal as it was possible to
get without a tire, and then go back to
the breastworks and relieve the othor
half. There was no danger of an imme
diate attack. The Indians had received
a setback which woul- dampen their
ardor for several hours to come.
Bess had retreated to the wagons, and
the men wore enthusiastic in praise of
her courage. Three or four of them had
witnessed her exhibition of nerve, aud
every one was determined to shake
hands and bestow a few words of com
mendation. While they were so en
gaged Joe slipped quietly over the
breastworks and lifted the warrior she
had shot into the inulosure. He was an
athletic young fellow, wearing the
feathers of a subchief . and the look xf
fury and hate had not yet faded from
bis face. When he brought the feathers
to Bess he said:
'There's none among us ever made a
better shot. ; He was a leader among
them."
'But I'm so sorry I had to do it, she
pleaded. "Oh, if they'd only leave us
alone or be at peacel Think of my tak
ing human life'
' And I m afraid the worst is not over,
whispered Joe. "1 know the devils.
They'll never leave us until they have
our sculps. Vou may have to shoot
others."
The girl burst into tears at the
thought, but quickly brushing them
away she said:
'Their blood be upon their own heads.
My mother used a rifle against the re
bellious Sepoys when attacked, and 1
should be ashamed if 1 did not help in
my own defense here."
When all had broken their fast the
captain whispered to Joe and two others
whom he knew to be experienced in In
dian warfare, and as they crouched
down under the shelter of the breast
works he said:
'I've got my idea about this thing,
but I want to counsel with you. first
and foremost, there's anywhere from
two hundred to two hundred and fifty
redskins around us."
"Fully three hundred," replied Joe.
"They attempted to ride over us, but
were soundly thrashed," continued the
captain. "If there were only one hundred
they d pull up stakes and tackle us far
ther on, but this big crowd won't thii(k
of such a move. We've got the whip
row on 'em in one sense, but before to
morrow night every tongue will be
parched with thirst. If they hold us
here three days we'll be drinking the
blood of the horses... In a week we'll be
madmen. Now, then, who has anything
to say'r"
.Not a voice answered tor a long
minute, and then it was Joe who re
plied:
"There's only one string to hang a
hope on. If we can get help to beat 'em
off we are saved for the time. If we
can't we must go under."
"Why not mount the horse and make a
dash for it, leaving the outlit in their
hands?" queried one of the men.
"How many would live to get twenty
miles away, do you think? Not oriel
The Indians would ride over us in no
time. I tell you, boys, we have got into
a bad row, aud I must confess that I
tau t see any way out of it. But what's
your string, Joe?"
"The day we left Brule City I saw a
man who had come down from Fort
Sully," Teplied the young man. "He
laid that troops had been ordered for
ward to protect emigrants and that a
number of gold seekers, hnnters and
trappers would start with the soldiers.
If that body of men followed the Big
Cheyenne, which of course they would
do up to the forks, and if they started
two days behind us as they were to,
where should they be now?"
"Being mounted as we are, and hav
ing three or four wagons at least, they'd
make about our distance. Tbe forks
are not over twenty miles away, and
they may be there tonight or not get up
for another day yet. But how are we
to get help from them?'
"Let them know of our peril"
"Can any of as fly?"
"No, but we can walk and run and
ride. One of us must be out of here
within an hour on the way to the forks.
He must find the men from bully and
bring 'em down on the rear of thiit tribe
of reddkins."
"A rabbit couldn't make his way
through the circle the demons have
formed about us." replied the caDtain
bwder
in tours of dejection.
"But a man of my size can and will!"
exclaimed Joe. , "1 know the risks, but
the game is worth it. If I lose my scalp
it will only be two or three days in ad
vance of the rest of you. If I get
through I shall save you all."
The right hand of every man went out
to him in the darkness, but it was two
long minutes before the captain said:
"I wouldn't ask it of you, Joe, but if
you will volunteer we'll pray to God to
spare your lite. Your success is the
only thing that will save us. What is
your plan?
"I can speak a few words of the
dialect of almost any tribe in the west,"
replied Joe, "and 1 shall strip that dead
body for a disguise. 1 can't hope to get
out unperceived, but I hope to be taken
for an Indian long enough to got through
the lines."
The knowledge of what Joe proposed
to do was !'pt from the majority of tbe
men. The body of the dead warrior
was dragged among the wagons, stripped
of its buckskin suit, and in the course of
half an hour the young huuter was
reaxly to take his leave. He had trans
formed himself into an Indian, so far as
outward appearances went, and the
men were more hopeful of his plan.
The captain and a couple of the men ac
companied him to the north side of the
inclosure, and after a cautious survey of
the grounds outside Joe whispered:
"It is as 1 hoped for; more than half
the bodies have already been removed.
The redskins must be made to think I
am one of the party engaged in the
work. I am all ready. Any special
word, captin?'
"No. If you find the party they will
help us out of our fix. If they do not
catch us napping or rush us too often
we can hold out here for a week, but
every one will have to drink blood after
tomorrow. If you do not return we'll
know that you could not find the partv.
Now, then, God speed youl"
Joe softly mounted the breastworks,
tomahawk in hand, dropped to the earth
outside and a minute later was lost
sight of in the darkness. The three men
left behind listened with bated breath.
Joe must enter the gully filled with
Indians. If his disguise was penetrated
anil he was made prisoner the fact would
be announced by whoops of rejoicing.
The silence would have been that of
the grave but for the chirp of the crick
ets. The men could hear each other's
heart beat as they leaned against each
other and listened for an alarm.
One two three four five minutes
drugged away.
It is when a man's life is at stake that
the minutes pass like lightning flashes
or drag like eternities.
Six seven eight nine ten I
Joe must have reached the gully ere
this. If not suspected at the first go off
he would not be suspected at all.
Five minutes more parsed away, and
the captain drew a long breath of relief
and whispered:
"He will get through. Let us thank
God I"
The night waB starlight, but a sort of
fog hung in the air. and if the Indians
made a night attack they could not be
seen until close up to the breastworks.
The captain no sooner felt that Joe was
well launched on his perilous errand
than ho returned to the men and issued
his orders for the night.
The Indians had suffered such a severe
loss that they might not attempt to
carry the fort by storm again, even
under shelter of the darkness, but no
precautions must be neglected. That
their loss had discouraged them and re
sulted in retreat was not to be hoped
for. It would render them more de
termined to have the scalp of every man
in the train.
An Indian who learns caution from
being repulsed becomes more dangerous
than before. Instead of the tiger's rush
it becomes the advance of the serpent.
Ferocity is temporarily replaced by
cunning and strategy, and he may be
feared at a dozen points instead of one.
"Watch! Listen! Be alertl" were the
captain's orders. "Not one Indian must
reach the breastworks if we would let to
morrow's sun find our scalps on our
heads!
And by and by tho camp grew qniet
and the night began to drug its slow
lem,thawavcHApTEB y
Let us follow Joe as he leaves the
rocky breastworks and creeps forward in
the darkness.
The Indian never leaves his dead In
the hands of an enemy if it can be
avoided. It is not chivalry which in
duces him to peril his life to remove a
dead body, bnivuperstition. As soon as
ni'ht fell preparations were made to
secure the dead scattered on' the slope.
Half of the bodies had been removed
when Joe made his start.
There was but one chance of his work
ing through the lines, and he was tak
ing it. Before he had crept twenty feet
he found himself beside the body of a
warrior, as he hoped and expected to.
He seized it by the arm and began pull
ing it toward the gully. When half the
riihtance had been accomplished he was
joined by a warrior who came up from
behind aud seized the cither arm and
raid:
"I thought it was my brother, but lie
must be further up."
Joe uttered a grunt in reply, and the
two dragged the body to the brink of
the gulf. There other hands received
it, and as it was lifted down to 1 borne
away for burial Joe parsed along with
the three or four warriors in charge.

in the gully, the main force having with

How You Can Oct On of The Columbian
Half Dollars.
The World's Fair souvenir ooins are
'going like hot cokes," end those who
want to get one or more of them will
I ave to bestir themselves or they will be
oo lute. Tbe desire for one of these me
mentoes of the exposition seems to be
almost as universal as is tbe interest in
the exposition itself, and orders for them
have been sent in from all parts of tbe
United Stat s and also from foreign o un
rries. This souvenir half dollar, it is reported
from Washington, will be the most uili
io coio ever issued from the mint. On
the obverse siJe mil appear tbe head ol
Columbus, designed from the Lotto por
trait, and surrounding it tbe words.
Wor'.!' Columbian Exposition, Chica
go, 1892." Ou the reverse side will ap
pear a caravel, rcpreBtnting Columbus'
flag-ship, aud beneath it two hemi
spheres. Above tbe caravel will be
"United States of America," and beneath
the hemispheres, "Columbian Hail Dol
Ur." There is no doubt that this coin
will be regarded as the most distinctive
.tnd highest prized cheap souvenir of the
World's Fair.
All of these souvenir coins, exoept five,
are being sold at a uniform price of one
dollar each. For the first ooin struck iff

rious prices have been bid for the 400th,

that these Bouvenirs bo distributed as
widely as possible among the people, and
that all, irrespective of locality, have an
equal ohanae to obtain them, the Expo
sition authorities have sought to prevent
yodicates and others from purohusiug
large quantities aud thus "oornering" the
lale. On the oontrary, they have ar-
ranged to supply banks, business houses
aud individuals in all parts ot the cotin
try with as many na they may desire to
distribute among their patrons, custom
ers or friends. They require only thai
the orders must be for fifty coins, or
dome multiple of fifty, and that tbe order
be accompanied by the oush, at the late
of one dollar for eueb coin. A great
many banks and business firms have glad
ly complied with these conditions aud
irdered each from 50 to 20,000 of the
,joins.
Notwithstanding these conditions have
been widely published, still a vast num
ber ot iuqniries by letter have been re
ceived at Exposition headquarters asking
how tbe coins may be obtained. The
oest way is to get them through local
bunks, all of which are no doubt willing
to accommodate in that way their patrons
ind the residents of the oity or town in
wbiah they are doing business. If, bow
ever, for any reason it is desired to ob
tain them otherwise, the proper methods
is to form a olnb of subsariliers for fifty
coins, or some multiple of fifty, aud se
lect some ono member of tbe olub to send
on the order aud money aud todistribute
the coins when received. Orders should
be addressed to A. F. Seeberger, Treas
urer World's Columbian Exposition,
Ubii-ago.
It is probable that the ooins will not
be ready for distribution until boiiib time
iu Daoember. But the orders are being
seut iu rapidly, and will be filled in the
order of being received. Therefore it is
important that all who desire coins should
put iu their orders as soon as possible.
