A dull sky bung low over the pining and an o»*oaalonal gust o f wind from the southwest eauteed the sentries V> cast a ijuiek look at the heavens for signs of the threatened storm. Only those on guard details * were doing duty. It was a holiday at the jtost and the soldiers sat around the tables in their company quarters * and told stories of Thanksgiving days o f the post when the feast was cele brated under the home rooftree, thou sands of miles from the burning mesa. In the officers' quarters preparations . were going forward for the Thanksgiv ing Imp which was to take place In the i evening after tile dinner had been dis- .. cussed by the post commandant and his officers. Social events at Wingate were ns few and far between as at any * Isolated frontier |tost. and the hop had been the subject of much discussion Tor weeks. The ladies had ball gowns . (4| sent on from tile Hast to lend warmth o f eolor to tile occasion. The hand- master Imd rehearsed an orchestra cho sen from (lie I hwu I in a program of dance music. The great hail of the post had been decora ted with green boughs, Inrlllng vines and sprays of evergreen. The floor was waxed to |ierfection by the quartermaster. Nothing was lack ing to make the |M>nt Imp a lirllllai^ event. Adjutant's call for parade was sounded half an hour earlier than tts- . .m il that evening that time might he •..afforded the officers to dress for the hop. ami tlie ceremony of *amdc was out short a trifle by Cohn id limit, the gallant commander of the Seventh cav alry. An hour after tlie troops were dismissed to quarters the otticers be gan assembling near headquarter* in dress uniform, drawing on white gloves or smoothing tlie wrinkles In thope In dispensable adjuncts to an officer's at tire. They were impatient for the first strain of I lie music which should an nounce, that the grand man'll was to liegln. Those lucky enough to escort Indies to the affair strolled along offi cers’ raw to present themselves to the . Radies and the orchestra hurried to tlie iiall nm| was posted ill a balcony. Slowly tlie officers and their ladles be gun to arrive In the lull!. Colonel Hunt strolled in with the wife of one of his captains hanging iq(ou Ills arm and her husband following close behind with tlie daughter of a major. The tleld and staff officers followed with other Indies, the luckless bachelors, who came alone, trooped In. pulling their moustache*, and bowing right and left to those seated about tlie ball. Colonel limit gave a signal to tlie band master, tlie t mi ton fell ami the Thanks giving hop was on. “ Hemltids me of old West Point days," whispered Ideutenant Itmlnard to Colonel Hunt wlieu the two met af ter the first dance. “ H.v Ueorge, It makes tile feel like a yenrllng, the mu sic and the waxed floor and the pretty girls and nil that.” "Not much like arctic hunts for the north pole, eh, Bruimirtl?*' responded the colonel, aud the lieutenant who went with Greeley to the "farthest north" shivered a bit as he smiled Iwok a reply. The uext moment he claimed the hand of a promtned partner for a quadrille and walked with stately tread to hi* place In the figure. Though ihe night was cool the darners were liented, and the windows were raised that the south wind might blow across the iMillroom, The music floated out In rollicking strains to where a sentry stood In the shadow leaning upon his saber, his thoughts far away lu the town hall o f a little place In Illinois where he once capered through a quad rille with the prettiest girl in the State, where he was as welcome as was Col- onel Hunt at the Wingate hop. The step o f the corporal of the guard awoke him to duty, ami New Mexico and the present. aud he slowly sauntered along Ms post. The quadrille ended as gayly ns did every quadrille that was ever played, and the laughing women were escort ed to seats by the officers who I »egged for more dances. The cotillon was next on the program and Colonel Hunt was to lead. With the pretty w ife of Lieutenant Puller upon his arm the oMninandaat stepped out msm the floor ami the liaucei* followed. The music sounded merrily ncrosa the iNtllroom and the dance Itegnn. Hut the first fig ure was not ended when more music stole upon that same south breeae and was wafted through the open windows, the mellow notes of a trumpet and It was anumtiug the officers' call. Offi cers' call In the midst of the Thanks giving hop! Officers' call when the whole poffi was on holiday) It was like the sort»!*« clangor o f a fire bell during a w elding supper. Faw of the women heard Fvery o f ficer's w ife and daughter knew that call, knew every call. Indeed, that came from the guardhouse, hut there was talking ami laughing aud music in the tMillroom. aud their ears were not keen for interruption. But Colonel Hunt heard. He knew. "W e will stop a little. If you please," sudd the colonel to Mrs. Fuller, escort ing her to a scat. " I f you will excuse me, 1 will try to finish our cotillon some other time." And I lowing low he was gone. The woman looked around the hull in surprise. Not au officer remain ed. There hud been hurried bows, murmured apologies, and a scurrying o f feet and clanking of sailer scab bards, aud they were left alone. The music stopped with u clash, the few civilians in the hall gazed about ill blank wonder, and. with half-formed inquiries on their lips, while the la dles liegnn to gather their wraps and start for their quarters. The post hop was over. I town at theguardhouseColonel Hunt was questioning a courier who leaned upon the saddle of Ills quivering horse and answered the commandant lu Jerky sentences as he gasped for breath. He had ridden with the speed of the wind for many, many miles over the rough country. Ills mind full of his story, his heart torn with agony, lest he he too late. He came from Keeiu’s canyon, he told Colonel Hunt. The Moqui In dians were on tlie purpnth. Ha-he-niali was leading 500 braves on a tour of carnage. The school at the canyon had been burned and settlers had been murdered. Ha-be-niah threatened to murder more. His braves were in flamed against the whites, and their lust for blood Increased with each mur der. Help was wanted quickly or it would he of no avail. Colonel Hunt's gray eyes were close ly knitted while the courier was talk ing. He was revolving In his mind a plan o f campaign. He thought of the great stretch of country that lay be- twe»m Wingate and the Moqui country 200 miles away, of the roads and riv ers and every feature o f the landscape. When the story of the horseman was ended the colonel made up Ills plan. Boots and saddles had long since been sounded and the post was under arms. The troop of the fighting Seventh were In the saddle ami the pack trains were ready to move when the trumpets should sound "march.” The gala attire of the Thanksgiving hop had been torn off and thrown aside In a hurry and the officers were moving around among their men in fatigue uniform with C O U N TY and left and Ha-be-mah was bolding court in the midst of the plunder his men had captured. The reds were In flamed with liquor. Major George learned, ami were likely to gc on the warpath again in another direction. Ou the tnoruiug the squadrons of the Seventh arrived and went Into camp Lieutenant liopin sent his orderly for Sergeant Lear. When the tall soldier stood before the door of the officer’s tent aud saluted Lieutenant Hopiu said: “ Sergeant Lear, you will take a pa- trol of twelve man, proceed to Oriliu, ami capture Ha-be-niah, dead or alive.” Sergeant Lear did not move a mus cle. Still standing at attention, he asked: "A ny further instructions, sir?" “ No, you know what to do,” said the lieutenant. The hand of Sergeant Lear came up stiffly to the brim of his campaign hat and dropped, he faced about and strode away to his troop. He knew what those orders meaut. He knew that death awaited some brave fellows, per haps all of the patrol, in the rambling Indian village yonder. He knew that Ha-be-mah, Intrenched with Ills 500 braves, would never be taken without u tight. But. more than all. he knew that he hail orders to take him dead or nlive. Ten minutes later he was riding toward Orlba at the head o f his patrol of twelve men. None knew in what part of the town the Imllnn chief had his tepee. None knew how the skulk, lng redskins were disused around the place, whether In a body or scattered In a circle which would draw in around the patrol and wipe it off the eurtli. But the thirteen men rode boldly Into the village to capture Ha-be-mah, dead or alive. The Indians hail no warning of the coming of the troops, but when they heard the galloping hoofs o f the horses a great shout arose aud there was a scurrying for weapons among the te pees. Had Sergeant Lear commanded a reglmmt. a squadron or even a troop of cavalry he might have swept every thing liefore him. But twelve tnen against 500— well, they did the l>e»»t they could. They drew their revol vers and rode shooting Into that hand of savage warriors. They spurred their horses right and left upon the surpris ed, half-drunken Indians, who tired volley after volley after them. They noticed the Moquls rallying around a certain lodge and, suspecting that Hn- be-mnh was there. Sergeant Lear hurl- H ATCH ET.

"That will do," said tlie lieutenant: "report to your quarters,” aud Ser geant Edwin I-ear went to look for something to eat. Thousands o f Chicagoans have s»*en him aud upp!aude»l him, though none had any idea who lie was or what stuff he would prove to t>e made of when tic* time came.

A sudden shock Is ttrst felt, us If someone hud struck you on the head with a heavy mallet. There Is no pain. The brain feels be- nuinhed. Bright lights dance and flash before your eyes. Your head feels al>- uormally large, somewhat like that of a person trouhl»*<l with vertigo. A heavy weight seems to be hearing down upon your head. The pulse Is high, and a feeling of exhilaration takes posses sion o f you. You feel as If you were treading the air, with everything around you a blank. Y’ ou are alone—the only being, tlie only obJt*ct, the only tangible thing lu the universe. You gradually sink into Insensibility. A tierce shock suddenly passes through your entire system. Y'ou are again struck on the head with the mallet, the same bright light dazzles your eyes, and then all Is a blank. This second shock is caused by the turning off of the current. The experience thus de tailed was the result o f a comparative ly weak current, which was gradually ami cautiously turne»l on.
