A SEARGENT'S SACRIFICE.
(Orlrfaall
"Sergeant," said Major Swayne of
tho th United States infantry, "a
scout has Jurt come In and reports
that the Indians havo broken loose,
murdering and pillaging; My wife Hd
children are at Stoughton's ran on. I
want you to take four men and bring
them In."
"I'll get them In, sir."
Sergeant Kimball saluted and left
the room. The major controlled him
self till the man was gone, then paced
the floor in agony,
Kimball was one of thoe men occa
sionally to be found in tho rank of
the nrmy who are understood to be
gentlemen, but about whom nothing Is
known prior 'to theJr enlistment. He
had shown himself careless of danger;
hence the major's selection of him for
the task.
That afternoon the sergeant and Ms
four men rode into Sioughton's ranch,
and Kimball told Mrs. Hwayne that
her husband desired her to return to
the fort, though his object In sending
for her was concealed. A wagon ami
horses were taken from the barn aw J
the family placed in It, and, attended
by the escort, the Journeywas begun.
One soldier rede ahead, one on each
side the wagen and one directly be
hind. A mile in the roar rode Sergeant
Kimball.
Half of tho Journey had been ic
compllshcd when the sergeant, stand
ing at tho summit of a pass between
two hills and looking backward, saw
t Indians emerging from n wood and
making for tho road. There were
more than a hundred of them, and bo
could sec by their gaudy trappings
that they were on the warpath. He
watched them till they struck the road,
and when they turned In his direction
ho know that they would soon over
take tho wagon. Tho color died out of
his face, but a dospcrato resolve sot
tied there Instead. Casting about for
loose timber, ho made a prctonse for a
barrlcado across the road. Thon, ly
ing on his stomach, with his Winches
ter pointed across a log, ho waited tho
coming of tho Indians.
This man who was nltont to dlo that
others might live was In it strange con
dition of mind. Ho romombored one
who, born of the same mother, had
fallen under temptation, one whoco
punishment ho had taken upon himself.
Ho recalled having been dropped by
his friends, the contemptuous, averted
look of the girl ho loved. These were
In his thoughts confused with sounds
of tho tramp of ponlos, tho guttural
mutterlngs of Indians coming up the
road and tho creak of the wagon turn-bcrlng-toward
the fort borne back on
the wind.
"They'll hear the firing," he said to
himself, "and tnovo on at full speed.
Hotter glvo tho signal now ana Havo
time."
Selecting ono of tho Indians, ho fired,
emptying a saddlu. Tho wivngeH halt
luL nuiiied their Jargon and looked up
May.
Oh, month of May,
Whim all tho oarth Is brlHht
And llfo a fair delight;
When tho grasses' fold
Tho dandelions seem
To dlmplo all tho green
With llowora of gold;
And tho boca thro' clover humming
Hocm to oroon,
"Summor comes, is coming,
With glad June."
In month ot May,
Tho Unit whlto buttorfly,
His aoontad wings to try,
Stoors out upon tho breeza;
Steals color from each flowV,
And wantons by the hour,
In fragrant peace;
Hears a Htnr-oyoil llow'ret murmur,
Soft luir plea,
"Forget. mo not!" and the i'nnsy,
"Think of ma."

135 Court Street, Salem, Oregon, '
the road whence tne suot uad come.
Kimball fired three more shots In rap
Id succession, dropping a man each
time. Then the Indians took to cover.
Again the wind brought back the
sound of the creaking wagon, this
time noisier aBd accompanied by the
gallop of horses. Kimball knew that
ciery moment he could delay the in
evitable advance of the Indians over
bin body would add to the chances for
the lives of the women and children.
The Indians below were quiet Tho
sergeant was familiar with their tac
tics and knew they were stealing upon
liltn and around him. I'resenUy there
was a shot from bis loft A bullet
sang by bis ears; then all was still
again. But what a stillntwflt Insects
were humming; birds were on the
wing, occasionally pouring forth har
monious notes, then a far, faint creak
ing of the wagon, now doubtless near
lug the fort As sure as the sun shone
mildly on that autumn afternoon, as
sure as the leaves rustled in the breeze,
death was creeping up on the man who
wns waiting for it
Kimball knew the Indians were puz
zled. They could not get into a position
where they could see behind his little
fortification, for he was screened by
trees on both -flanks. He saw an In
dian creeping out on the limb of a tree
close to bis right Ills rifle cracked,
ana tne man pitched headlong to the
ground.
Meanwhile there was another sound
coming from the rear, the gallop of
horses. Kimball knew lhat he had
saved his cnarge and that In time suc
cor would come, but he also knew that
wJien It arrived all would be over with
him. Since bills lay between the In
dians and tlK; coming horsemen the
former did not hear for n time, and the
soldiers were enabled to come within a
short distance before they were dis
covered. Thon tho redskins, knowing
that relief wax nt hand, injured a Are
from o hundred rifles Into Kimball's
little fortress and, mounting their
horses, galloped away.
Major Swnyne, followed by bis men,
coming like the wind, spurred his home
to the crest of the hill where the ser
geant had made his defense. There lay
Kimball, still alive, but bleeding from
many wounds. The major dismounted
and bent over Mm to thank him for
tho lives of his wife and children, but
words would not come. The sergeant
saw tears streaming from bis com
mander's eyes and knew what lie would
say
"Major," he whispered, "when you
are again transferred to the oast. Hud
Margaret Miller. Tell Iter that John
took uhii himself Frank's sin. She
will understand."
When they had lain him nway In the
burial ground near tho fort, the music,
ns In the return from all military fu
nerals, was gay, but on every heart It
fell llko a wall.

BAD WEATHER
WHAT IT DID TO A FARMER
IN OREGON
Its Effects Lasted for Several
Years-He Tells How He
Finally Got on His Feet
Again After a Series
of Reverses
"It was all due to the weather,"
said Mr. John Lee, a farmer of Green
ville, Oregon, In rolatlng a recent
experience to a reporter.
"The weather," he continued, "plays
an important part in a farmer's life,
and in this Instance Its effects upon
mine lasted several years. It was the
spring of 1305. Working In tho fields
during a long stretch of cold and rain
brought on an attack of the grip. It
took right hold of me, and 1 suffered
terribly with it When that finally
went away it left mo with the ague.
Several doctors, prescribed for mo, but
thoir medicine did mo no good. Sly
head ached, and I was dizzy; my blood
was very bad, and I was so very nerv
ous that every 'little sound annoyed
and worried mo, and my appetite was
poor. It would bo Impossible for me
to describe my misory."
"But how nld you get rollof?" asked
the reporter.
"Well, one day I got hold of a book
let telling of a euro of a case similar
to mine by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Palo People, and thought I would try
thorn. I felt hotter after taking a part
ot a box, so I kept on until cured.
About throe boxes did It, and now I am
as well as evor I was."
It is of the utmost Importance to
your health if you havo suffored from
the grip, that you should cleanse the
systom of the lingering germs, and put
It in condition to roslst,and ward off
disease. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People are an unfailing specific,
not only for the aftor-offects of the
grip, of fevers and of other acute ills
eases, hut also for such diseases as lo
comotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St.

GEORGE WASHINGTON'S QUEUE.
It Hid a Luxuriant Suit of Straight
and Very Dark Hair.
The father of his country concealed
a luxuriant suit of hair beneath his
queue wig. Many, now wish the old
fashion were in vogue, to conceal
thinned hair or baldness. Yet no one
need have thin hair nor be bald, if he
cure the dandruff that causes both.
Dandruff cannot he cured by scouring
tho scalp, because It Is a germ disease
and tho germ has to be killed. New
bro's Herplclde kills the dandruff
genu no other hair preparation will.
"Destroy the cause, you remove the
effect." There's no cure for dandruff
but to kill the germ.
