::. It is a curious fact that the little
grand duchy of Finland,; through . its
own efforts, has 'become one of the
best mapped parts. of the .world. Dr.
Supan, the German geographer, speak-
4'ng 9f the atlas of. Finland recently
mblfshed' at Helsingfors, says that
scarcely another country "of Europe
has provided an equally effective help
fo,r those who-wish to get a clear idea
b'f their territories. Every map in the
iftjaVof -Finland, has accompanying ex-J)laiiatory-
text "and the volume of 479
TVttges is a graphic delineation of all the
aspects - of the' country that can be
Shown by the -cartographic art. The
leading' scientific men of 'the country
have contributed to make the atlas as
accurate .as possible, ' says the New
.j'o'rk Sun. .' - .
,,'Each "map isTdevpted to showinjf one
particular .f acf. -r Instead, ' for example.
bf one large, industrial map using a
Wrfity of symbols ' to snow the, dis

And this lasj, at least, he had done.
For u few seconds after the fall of the
buffalo bull, the watchers on the dis-..
tant' ridge lay still, except that Dean,"
turning slightly, called to th! orderly ,
trumpeter, who had come trotting out
atfer th troop commander, and was
How halted and afoot some 20 yards
down the slope. '130 back, Bryan," he
ordered; .VJJaltb,1! arabulajnpes. iJvot4
fy Capt. Brooks that there are lots of
Indians ahead, and have the sergeant
deploy the men at. once." Then he
turned back nnxl with his field glass
studied the party along the ravine.
"They can't have seen us, can they,
lieutenant?" muttered the trooper
nearest him.
Ui'.t Dean's young face was grave
and clouded. Certainly tho Indians
rcted as though they were totally un
tware of the preseuce of troops, but
the more he thought' the more he
knew that no big body of Sioux would
be traveling across country at so crit
ical a time (country, too, that was
conquered as this was from their ene
mies, the Crows), without vigilant
scouts afar out on front and Hank.
The more he thought the more he
knew that even as early as three
o'clock those keen-eyed fellows must
have. sighted .his little, column, con
spicuous as it was because of its wag
ons. , Beyond question; he told him
self, the ehief of the band or village
so steadily approaching from the
northeast had full information of their
presence, and was coming confidently
uhead. What had he to fear? Even
though the blood of settlers and sol
diers might still be red upon the hands
of his braves, even though fresh scalps
might be dangling- at this moment
from their shields, what mattered it?
Did he not know that the safeguard of
the Indian bureau spread like the wing
of a protecting angel over him and his
people, forbidding troops tb molest or
open fire unless they themselves were
attacked? Did he not laugh- in his
ragged shirt sleeve at the policy, of the
white fool who would' permit the red
enemy to ride boldly up to his soldiers,
count their numbers, inspect their ar
ray, satisfy himself as to their arma
ment and readiness, then calculate the
chances, and, if he thought the force
too strong, ride on his Way with only
a significant gesture in parting in
sult? If, on the contrary, he found it
weak, then he "could turn, loose his
braved, surround, massacre and scalp,
and swear before the commissioners
sent out to investigate next moon that
he and his people knew nothing about
the matter nothing:, at least, that
they could be induced to tell.
- One moment more Dean watched and
waited.' Two of the; Indians in- the
ravine were busily reloading their
rifles. Two others.' were aiming- over
the bank, for, with the strange stupid
ity of their kind, the- other buffalo,
even when startled by the shof, had
riever sought safety In flight, but were
now sniffing the odor of blood on the
tainted air ' and slowly, wonderingly
drawing near the stricken leader as
though to ask what ailed him. Obe
dient and docile the Indian ponies stood
with drooping ' heuds, hidden under
the shelter of the steep banks. Nearer
and nearer came the big black animals,
bulky, stupid, fatuous; the foremost
lowered a huge head to sniff at the.
blood oozing from the shoulder of the
dying bull, then two more shots puffed
out from the ravine, the huge head
tossed suddenly in air, and the un
gainly brute started and staggered,
whirled about and darted a few yards
away, then plunged on its knees, and
the next moment, startled at some
sight the soldier watchers could not
sec, the black band-was seized with
sudden panic and darted like mad into
the depths of . the watercourse, dis
appeared one moment from sight, then,
suddenly reappearing, came laboring
up the hither side, straight for the
crest on which they lay, a dozen black,
bounding, panting beasts thundering
over the gTound, fpjlowed by half a
dozen darting Indian ponies, each with,
his lithe i-ider scurrying in pursuit. .
,. ''Out,bf the way, men! Don,'t fire 1"
shouted Dean.' And, scrambling . back
toward . thipir horses,-' the lieutenant
and his men drew away from the front
of the charging herd, invisible as.yet
to the halted troop and to the occu
pants of the ambulance, whose eager
heads could be seen poked out at the
side doors of the leading vehicle, as
though watching for the cause of the
sudden halt. - . - -
And then a thing happened that at
least one man saw and fortunately
remembered later. Bryan,"the trum
peter, with jabbing heels and flapping
arms,, was tearing back toward tho
troop at the moment at the top speed

tant ollicer and men tumbling hur
riedly to one side, out of the way pre
sumably of some swiftly-coining peril.-,
acted like magic on the line. Carbines
-were-'quickly bronghtto " ready,' the
gun locks crackling in chorus as the
horses pranced and snorted. But it
had a varying effect on the occupants
of the leading :wagon. The shout of
"Indians" from Bryan's lips, the sight
of scurry on'tke' ridge ahead brought
the engineer and aid-de-camp spring
ing out, rifle in hand, to take their
munly part in the coming fray. It
should have brought Maj. Burleigh too,
but that appropriately named non
combatant never showed outside. An
instant more and to the sound of rising
thunder, before the astonished eyes of
the cavalry line there burst into view,
full tear for safety, the uncouth, yet
raarvelously swift-running leaders of
the little herd.,,., "The whp.lodoz.en came
flying ac-ross the. sky line and down,
the gentle slope, heading well around
to the left of the line of troopers, while
sticking: to their flanks like red net
tles half a dozen warriors rode like
the wind on their nimble ponies, crack
ing away with revolver or rifle in sav
age joy in the glorious sport. Too
much for Burleigh's nerve was the
combination rf sounds, thunder of
hoofs and sputter of shots, for when a
cheer of sympathetic delight went up
from the soldier line at the sight of the
chase, and the young engineer sprang
to the door of the ambulance to help
the major out, he found him a limp and
ghastly heap, quivering with terror in
the bottom of the wagon, looking for
all the world as if he were trying to
crawl under the seat.
CHAPTER IV.
Away to the left of the little com
mand tore the quarry and the chase.
Out on the rolling prairie, barely four
hundred yards from where the ambu
lance and mules were backed into a
tangle of traces and whiffletrees and
fear-stricken reatures, another buffa
lo had dropped in a heap; a swarthy
rider had tumbled off his pony, cut a
slash or two with ever-ready knife, and
then, throwing a bead-bedizened left
leg over. his eager little mount, had
gone lashing away after his fellows,
not without a jeering slap at the halt
ed soldiery. Then, in almost less time
than it takes to tell it, the pursued and
pursuers had vanished from sight over
a low ridge a mile to the north. "Only
a hunting party!" said one of the
nervous recruits, witha gulp of re
lief. "Only a hunting party," gasped
Burleigh, as presently he heaved him
self up from the floor, "and I thought
I'd never find: that damned gun of
mine. : All this fuss for nothing!" he
continued, 'his lips .still blue and quiv
ering. "That green youngster up there
in front hasn't learned the first princi
ples of plainseraft yet. Here, Brooks,"
he added, lovfdly, "it's high time you
were looking'after this sub of yours,"
and Brooks, despite his illness, was in
deed working Out of the back door of his
yellow trundle bed at the moment, and
looking- anxiously about. But the en
gineer stood Hpale and quiet, coolly
studying- the flustered growler, and
when' Burleigh's shifting eyes sought
that young-'scientist's face, what he
read there and Burleigh was no fool
told him he would be wise to change
the tune. The aid had pushed him in
front of the troop and was signaling to
Dean, once more in saddle and scan
ning through j his glass the big band
afar down the valley.
"Take my; horse, air," said the ser-g-eant,
dismounting-, and. the officer
thanked hint and rode swiftly out to
join the youh-g commander at. the
front. Together they gazed and con
sulted and still no signal came to re
sume the advance. Then the troopers
saw the staff, officer make a broad
sweep with his right arm to the south,
and in a moment Dean's hat was up
lifted and waved well out in that di
rection. "Drop carbine," growled the
sergeant. "By twos again. Incline to
the right. Damn the Sioux, I say!
Have we got to circle five miles around
their hunting ground for fear of hurt
ing their feelings? Come cn, Jimmy,"
he added to the driver of the leading
wagon. Jimmy- responded -with vig
orous, language at the expense of his
leading mules. The quartermaster and
engineer silently scrambled in; the
ambulance started with a jerk and
away went the party oil to the right
of the trail, the wagons jolting a
bit now over , the "uneven clumps of
bunch grass. .....
, . ,B.ut. ,onco .well up at .the .summit of
thejow divide the cominand reined in
for a look at the great Indian caval
cade swarming in the northeastward
valley, and covering- its grassy surface
still a good mile away. Out from
among the dingy mass came galloping
half a dozen young braves, followed
by as many squaws. The former soon
spread out over the billowy surface,
some following- the direction of the
chase, some bounding on southwest
ward as though confident of finding
what they sought the moment they
reached the nearest ridge; some rid
ing straight to the point where lay
the carcasses of the earliest . victims
of the hunt. Here in full view of. the
soldiery, but vouchsafing them , no.
glance ncr greeting whatever, . two
young warriors reined in- their lively
ponies and disdainfully turned their
backs upon the spectators on the divide-,
while the squaws.'wilh shrill
laugh and chatter, rolled' from their
saddles and began the drudgery of
their lot s-kinnmg and cutting up the
buffaloes slaughtered by their lordsV
"Don't you see," ' sheered Burleigh,?
"it's nothing but V village out for a
hunt nothing in" God's World to get
stampeded about. We've had all this
show cf warlike preparations for noth
ing." But he turned away again as
he caught the steady lock in the en
gineer's blue eyes, and shouted to his
more, appreciative, .friend,, the- aid-de
camp: "Well, pardner, ' haven't we
fooled away enough time here, or have
we got to await the pleasure cf people
that never saw -Indians before?". . :
' Dean 'flushed 'crimson at the taunt.
"ITe well knew for whom it was meant.
He was indignant 'enough by this time
a speak' for hiriiS'elf, 'but the hid-de-.
camp saved him the trouble. V -:-' ''
"I requested Mr. Dean to halt a few
moments; Burlelgli 'It is necessary

A sergeant who could speak a little
Sioux came riding back to the camp,
a grin on his sun-blistered face. "Well,
sergeant, what'd he say?" asked the
staff .officer.
"H-e said would I plaze go to hell,
sor," was the prompt response.
"Won't he tell who they are?"
"He won't, sorr. He says we know
widout askin', which is thrue, sorr.
They're Ogallallas to a man, barrin
the sqivuvs and pappooses, wid ould
Red Cloud himself."
"Ilow'd you find out if they wouldn't
talk?" asked the staff officer, impa
tiently. " Tvas the bucks wouldn't talk ex
cept in swear wurruds. I wasted no
time on them, sorr. I gave the first
squaw the last hardtack in me saddle
bags end tould her was it Machpealota,
and she said it was, and he was wid
Box Karesha that's ould FoLsom not
six hour ago, an Folsom's gone back
to the cantonment."
"Then the quicker we skip the bet
ter," were the aid-de-camp's words.
"Get Us to Eeno fast as you can, Dean.
Strike for the road again as soon as
we're well beyond their buffalo. Now
for it! There's something behind all
this bogus hunt business, and Folsom
knows what it is."
And every mile of the way, until
thick darkness settled down over the
prairie! there was something behind
the trooper cavalcade several some
things wary red men, ycung and
wiry, who never let themselves be
seen, yet followed on over wave after
wave of prairie to look to it that no
, man went back from that column to
carry the news of their presence to the
little battalion left in charge of the
new post at Warrior Gai.
