The school at the canyon had been burned ami settlers had been murdered. Ha-be-mah 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 be 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 of campaign. He thought of tin* great stretch of country that lay be tween Wingate and the Moqul country 200 miles away, of the roads and riv ers and every feature of the landscape.

The women of the |>ost knew now what hud broken up the dance. They heard "boots ami saddles" and they knew that meant action, some where. somehow. “Lieutenant Brainard, you will re port to Captain Sibley with your troop,” said Colonel Hunt, and the officer who ten minutes before had been Joking with his colonel about the West Point dances, raised Ills gloved hand In salute and hastened away to his troop quarters. Twenty minutes later two squadrons of cavalry under command of Major Thomas McGregor trotted ncross the parade ground and the start wns made. It was but an hour from midnight and Ortbn, the village of the Moquis. was 241 miles away. How they made that trip will never be known save to those who rode out of Wingate that night. The snow In places was up to tlie bellies of the troop horses, but they floundered bravely through It. They climbed mountains thousands of feet high and dived Into snow-tilled valleys. They eamped at night as best they eoukl ami slept upon the snow. Among the enlisted men was one who would lie recalled by anyone who ever saw him. Sergeant Edwin Lear.
