SYNOPSIS
"Get Tour GirL" the musical
comedy starring I lxie I ugan and

flop at Atlauttc City, largely be
cause KibbiUer and Fpptis, the pro

and he prevailed upon Cora Brew

her father. John Brewster, news-
Saner publisher. Jimmy, however,
id not tell Dixie the iiHme of the
person from whom the hacking was
obtained. That means Kihbftzpr and
Kppus, the producers, ar out and
bo is Jack Milton, the Wall Street
Droiter wno was tne nrst Angei or

he was not In the mood to join in
the attempt to dismember the Union.
Loyalty waa one of his strongest

Kit entirely mistook the nature of

however, for ho had only to obey
orders. During most of the time he
was held in reserve. Kit was men
tioned in dispatches. Ills regiment
lost one killed, eleven missing, one
wounded.
Hin part In the battle may be
gathered from his own brief official
report: . . . in the afternoon I re
ceived . the order to cross the
river, which I immediately did, after
which I waa ordered to form my
command on the right of our line
and to advance na skirmishers to
wards the hills. Aftec advancing
some 400 yards we .discovered a
Inrge body of the enemy charging
diagonally across our -front, evi
dently with the intention of cap
turing the 24-pounder gun, whii-n,
stationed on our right, was advanc
ing and doing much harm to the
enemy. As the head of the enemy's
column came within some eighty
vard of my righl a volley from the
whole column was poured into tliPin,
slid the flr'ng being Lept up caused
them to break in every direction.
. . . They did not attempt to reform,
and the column, wi pportcd by the
gun on the right, was moving for
ward to sweep the wood near the
hills, when I received the order to
retreat and rerrosa the river. . . .
The column, after crossing the river,
returned to its station near Fort
Crnig. , . .'
The losses on both sides wpm. m.
ligilde, considering the numbers tn-
vnlven. As usual in those enrlv hnt
ties of the Civil War, the recruits
.iiffered more from exctement and
nervous exhstistion than from any-,
thing else. Napoleon somewhere de
fined a bottle as 'two bodies of men
trying to frighten each ojher.' Where
surh bodies of men are made up of
rookies, both sides are eminently
successful in the attempt.

and he had little concern with the
white enemies of the Republic.
His first campaign was against the
Apaches For of course the Apaches
took advantage of the distraction
caused by the Confederates. They
began to murder and rob and torture
as usual. Carleton called upon Kit
to teach them a lesson. Troops un
der his direction, though not directly
under his command, soon caught the
Apaches, and the chiefs came In and
surrendered to Kit, whom they
trusted.
Immediately Kit put tn for leave
to see Jose fa.
By all accounts Ma requests for
leave were more frequent thon any
other letters vent by him through
military channels.
Probably there never was a less
soldierly officer In the armies of the
United States than Kit Carson. He
had been so long accu stomed to
leading men who could take care
of themselves that it was extremely
difficult for hlra to mother the reg
ulars; to look out for men who had
to be told when to wear their over
coats, when to clean their guns,
when to bathe, share, and perform
the other functions of a human ani
mal. Kit's superiors well-trained
but nnindulgent grandmothers had
to be continually reminding him , of
the Importance of latrines, kitchens,
forage, rations: Kit could never
bring himself to count socks or
shoe-strings, never got used to men
who would throw their equipment
awav to avoid enrrvin a heavy nack.
men who If not prevented would
eat tip all their week's rations at one
sitting. Hla reaction to the army
wos that of the Indian In the late
war, who complained, 'No good: too
much salute; not. much shoot.'
Unnk and authority meant little
to Colonel or General Carson. He
always Insisted that the boys call
him Kit. And as for the traditions
of the Service!!! Ho had no dignity
to maintain, and used to lie on a
blanket in front of h'a quarters,
romplr.g with his children by the
hour. And he never expected any
better treatment than his men re
ceived. They admired him. loved h;m,
and took advantage of him In the
matter of written passes, offering
him papers to sign which gave them
Srivileges of which he never
reamed. For by this time Kit
had lenrned to scratch his name,
though he had no idea of the letters
which composed It. It was a Chinese
pictoiraph to Kit.

armies of the United States, and
all three were faikirei. This was
not merely due to the courage and '
address of the Indiana and the in-:
experience of the commanding of
ficers, but to the almost impassable
nature of die Navajo country,
which even to this day has not
been traveled mnch by white men.
Desert, and mountain, and gorge,
the Navajo had an admirable re
gion for defense. Apache land was
bad enough. But the canyon land
of the Navajo was worse. And of
all the canyens, the famous Canyon
do Chelly was worst and most in
accessible. ' Thither the tribesmen
always retreated when hard pressed,
safe among their caves ana stone
fort, their peach orchards and
their flocks of sheep, their corn
fields and their melon patches.
Treaties were made sd broken
the same day, and until Kit Carson
took charge, nothing was accom
plished. Some of the credit must
be given Major Carleton, whose
subordinate Carson was, though the
Major himself did not take the
field.

up all the outlying country and
driven the Navajo to take refuge
in their canyon. Kit set out with
enough men to Invade even this.
He himself, being in charge, took
