eral tluy v. Henry, the new military
ami civil governor 'if the Islands, had
Welcomed the committee with a m!x
ture of old-time courtesy and military
i rusq?cnesa. The members of the coth
mliti e still held in 11 coll let I in the scene
In thi- gorgeous reception chamber; the
staff of American olllcers uniformed
like veterans fresh frohi the Held, the
sunlight gleai.g through the stained
glass windows, the martini trappings
of the attendant guard and that central

majedty Und might of the wonderful
republic* to the north which had freed

pressors.
That i'r.ure was a slight, spare man.
attired In a rather faded uniform; and
with a lean, brown face disfigured with
marks and Rears. The members of the
committee had i ioked with respectful

of his brawny hand, exclaim:
"I fought under thui man out in the

ollicer it private that served with Guy
V. Henry In the Italian campaigns of
th'- 'Tu's. 'i his is the story of the
crippled htind that held the Bible that
day in Pon
In the fall of 1S74. when the Chey?
enne indium: Were s?ttlng the frontier
ablaze in the northern part of Dakota.
Colonel liehr:'; then In command >>r
several tro ps of cavalry, came upon
a village Of i it-- enemy lies led nmnng
the hlllsi Tin re was u brief but deci?
sive fight, ah i ihe Indians fled toward
the Cnhadiaii boundary. Immediate
puratill wan ordered, notwithstanding
ii.'- fact that the Weather indications
ve sign qf a btlxzard, which meant
those w ilt!, texpt scci regi ins certain
peril to life.
Day and night, with scarcely a halt
for food, : le pursuit was kept up. The
Indians were mounted on licet ponies,
lind they were not only .'ic.iuaiittc.l with
the i nithtry, bill also inured to the
rln ; ? f the latitude. At first they dTrr
not anr Spate being chased; but when
they discovered that tin t'rooiis were
actually In pursuit, they set iiiit with
all p< ??'!??- speed t.iward t'.- ? bounda?
ry. alhVo3t one hundred miles distant.
P >rty-olght In lira after the start a
llerce sleet and hiill storm sprang tip,
with the fury of a hurricane. It final?
ly became so violent that the trail was
lest, and the In ??ps rode blindly
Hi rough the blizzard Presently phe
of the Bilbardlnati tifllecrs ventured to
ask If ii Would not bo well to camp
In the rh im- , ?' a ris ? .-I' ;;r..u::.l until
the Increment weather had abated.
"WH V. U.I. KKBP OX."
Colanel Henry shook his head. "No,"
he renlit d. firmly, "we will keep on
until we cant lira the Indians, or run
them to thi h itndary line." Drawing
down his rough fur cap, he lirg? 1 his
horse steadily onward at the, head of
the straggling troops. Thai day. pass?
ed and another mornlric dawned, but
.?tili the pursuit continued in the face
of :lie biting, piercing gale which
swept down from the north with un?
abated fury. Before r.c :t of tli.it day
several of the horses gave out, drop?
ping before the ley bias: ill:, stricken
deer. At dark a number of packs were
abandoned t > provide mounts for those
who had lost their animals.
Finally a brief real wan called, and
after many failures, a lire was started
nnd coffee made. When order.* were
given to resume ihe march the .-.ur
g ?:: heantupnnylng the rxpC'dJtioh
went to Colonel Henry and ;? >r:
that liv. . f the troopers were suffering
with badly frozen feet.
"Kelp "lr With this glove," re?
plied the intrepid" cavalry It ider, ex?
tending his left hand. The surgeon
wonderlngly obeyed, and, an he touch?
ed the flesh under the gauntlet, he
cried; "it is e lit. Y ur hand Is frozen,
sir."
? .. V "ARD W ITH FIU >Z I:N 11A X i >.
"Mount men," ordered Colonel Hen?
ry, calmly. And as the cnlvncp.de pre?
pared to obey the command, it was
found necessary i<> assist him }?> his
saddle. On through the snow and
.s'...t. on until the wintry sun rising
over the eastern hills, proclaimed the
coming of day, rode the little parti' of
soldiers. There v. ere many stragglers,
many who lurched In their saddles,
many who re???-' i.vn,-mb"d upd e?mo?t
Unconscious upon the necks of their
mounts, but none raited to follow thut
stern figure riding ' in advance.
When day iin:illy broke a number of
Mack specks were seen moving, over
the crest of a ridge :i mile in advance.
"They are the Chcyennes,'.' exclaim
; ed Colonel Henry. "And that ridge
marks the, boundary line between Can?
ada and the United States. We can bo
no further."
The memory ?f the retreat bach to
shelter will be as a blank page u.>st
of the party. Several days later the I
troops stumbled painfully into the wel?
come nates of the fort, bearing with
them twenty-one of their number fro?
zen almost within the grasp of death.
Colonel Henry kept command until he
???w his men in safety again, then he
i iok to 1:1.? bed. and hovered between
life and death for many weary weeks,
finally arising with his left hand crip?
pled and his constitution so broken
that he reported as unfit for further
duty. But he was in harness again,
after a brief r< st.
When th" committee of Porto Ricans
nut General Henry in th- palaeo at
San Juan, the members saw that the
fa re of their nev governor bore many
scars. There was u bullet hole through
each cheek, khp bridge >:?: the nose
was hrok a. and the left eye seemed
dull and colorless. To them It was pos?
sibly a disfigurement, but to the men
who served with Henry in each
sear spoke of a thrilling en's ode in
that famous expedition against the
Sioux in the I tier Horn nnd Yellow
tone country. w!i?n the "troopers of
it'o yellow stripes" taught the hostlles
a lasting lesson.
HOW HE LOST MIS BYE.
In that expedition Colonel Guy V.
: Henry was in charge >>f the Second
I Battalion of the Third Cavalry, which
formed pari <>f General crook's com-'
iii.iikI. One June morning, while the
troops were camping for br akfast In
I a Pttle ravine, the out-pickets rushed
tin '?? with the startling announcement
that the Sioux were coining in force.
There 'whs barely time to sound
"Boots and Saddles" when the heights
about the valley swarmed with the
savages, Within twenty minutes a
regular pitched battle was In progress,
the Indians, of whom there were sev?
eral thousands! coming down from the
ridge In h series of desperate charges.
During the height of the combat one
|or;i..ii or the American line under
Captain Vroont was pushed out beyond
Its support and ?:is being punished
severely, the hostlles getting between
it : lid the main body. Colonel Henry,
seeing the peril threatening his brother
officer, sent his command pell-Vnell to
the rescUe, JuSt as they swept upon
the Indians with uplifted sabres a dy?
ing bullet struck Colonel Henry in the
face, tearing through both cheeks,
-breaking the brWge ??r his rose and
completely severing the left optic
nerve.
The force "f the wild rush carried
him on. but he tv?s seen t.i sway in
the saddle, A trooper near him culled
out hoarsely: "Arc yon struck, sir'.'"
Gripping th.- pomniel tightly with one
hand Colonel Henry tried t.> iVay'c his
sword. "On, on!" ho gasped. "Charge
-" Down under the galloping hoofs
of the combatants he lurched, and in
an InKl nil he was lost to sight in the
swirling dus:.
The loss of their leader caused a tem?
porary panic among the soldiers, but
the; soon rallied, and. after driving tff
the Indians, they searched for th.- col?
onel. IV was found at last, covered
with blood, bill art they tenderly picked
him up they saw thai life still remain?
ed in til bruls ?! body, He was placed
upon a blanket In the shade and every
thing possible done to aid him. It was
then that one of the other officers con?
doled him with saying: "Colonel, this
Is too bad. It is too bad!" And it was
then that the gallant Henry, suffering
untold agony, and barely able lo ar?
ticulate, whispered simply:
"IT'S NOTHING, JACK."
"It's nothing. Juck. It's What we are
here for."
it was long before he recovered, but
when he finally returned to active Ser?
vice he carried with hltn the Indelible
proofs of gallantly and daring In ac?
tual battle. The same quiet heroism
carried him through work:; of weary
battling with the torturing pangs of a
Porto it lean fever, a struggle which
sapped pis strength and wrung his soul
?after W'hloh lie calmly and quietly re
plied to bis physician's orders to leave
at once: "No. Hero I stay, where 1
have been sent"
It seems particularly Utting that the
future Indian fighter should have as I
Iiis birthplace an army post in the very ,
heart of the Western frontier, Fort
Smith. Indian Territory, mid thai h|s
father, Major William Scaton Henry,
of the Third United States infantry,
should be engaged in a war with the
savages at that tlmo, March o. 1S!W;
and it la als 1 appropriate that u man
who was destined to become the mili?
tary and civil governor of n foreign
territory won by the sword should be
the grandson of one Wh > was Vice
Prcsldcnt of -.ho United States and
twice GoveVnbr of Now- York State.
Daniel D. Tompklns, and also grand?
son of a former Secretary of the Navy,
and jtuljte of the Sui rcmc Court, Smith.
Thompson.
It is witlt the !? lb .1 Blorier of these
famous ancestors that young tiny V.
Henry started on his career in the
American army. Thai he lias main?
tained the family honor cannot be dis?
puted.
IN tiik CIVII; WAlt.
lie was fortunate < nough to graduate
from West Point at the very outbreak
of the Clcll War. lie was assigned to
a second lieutenancy to the first
United States Artillery, and served
with distinction in that regiment until
lie was made colonel of the Fortieth
Massachusetts Infantry in the fall of
1S02. He continued throughout tie- war
with thai command, being present at
many of ihr- most Important battles.
His bravery and daring III lie- battle
of Pocotaligo. S. C, October 2?. IS*!!!,
earned for him the commendation of
bis superior olllcers, and the attention
of the commanding general was called
"to the gnllnnl and distinguished ser?
vices of First Lieutenant Guy V. Hen?
ry."
For his work in the daring advance
in Florida lib was complimented by
General Seymour In the following
words: "i cannot commi nd too highly
the brilliant success of tins advance
for which great credit is due Col. Guy
V. Henry and bis command, and T ear?
nestly recommend him as a most de?
serving and energetic ofllcer,"
There were many characteristic deeds
of bravery performed by the quiet,
kindly man with the "eye like a Mau?
ser bulltet" dm in -, the civil War, and
he cam" out one of the few men to
wear a medal of honor: bill it was left
to the Indian troubles of 1874-'77, to
bring out his wonderful nerve and dar?
ing and his skill as a. commander.
His new career a- the military and
civil governor of one of Uncle Sam's
first for? Urn possessions will In- watch?
ed with exceeding interest, but those
who know and who have served v.ith
"Fighting Guy V,' 'are conlldont that
he will carry out the traditions of his
life and of ids faintly as a bravo and
honorable officer ami gentleman.

Why so much knowledge should have
