ISot n elgn of hostile Indian hnd been seen or licnril, snld the officer In command, Small bnmls of hunters were out to ward Pumpkin Ituttc two days before. Yes, Ojrnllnllns nnd n scouting par ty, working down the valley of the Powder, had met no band at nil, though trails were numerous. They were now patrolling toward the llljr Horn. Per Imps there'd bo n courier In to-morrow. Hotter get n good night's rcRt mean time, he said. Hut nil the Kami he doubled his gunrds nnd ordered extra vigilance, for nil men knew John I'ol som, and when 1'olnotn was nnxloiiH on the Indian tpicstinn it wiih time to look alive. Daybreak came without n sign, but Folsoin could not rest. The grays had no authority to g beyond Ilcno, but such wis his nnxlety (hut It wob decided to hold the trieip at the cantonment for n dny or two. Mean time, despite his years, 1'olnom decided to push on for the Gap. All efforts to dissuade him were In vain. With him rode Irapllstc, a hnlf-brced French man, whose mother was an Ogallalla squaw, and "lint" had served him mnny iv yenr. Their canteens were tilled, their saddle-pouches packed. They led olong an extra mule, with camp equip age, and shook Imuds grnvcly with the ofllccrs ere they rode nwny. "All de pends," said l-'dlsntn, "on whether lied Cloud lit hcrcnboiitK Iiv person. If he is nnll I can get his ear I can probably stave off trouble, long enough to get those people nt tho Gap back to Kear ney, or over here. They're goners if they attempt to irtny there nnd build thnt post. If you don't have word from us in two days, send for nil the troops the government cnu raise. It will take every mother's eon they've got to whip the Sioux when once they're leagued together." "Hut. our men have the new breech loaders now, Mr. Folsom," said the olllccrs. "The Indians have only old percussion-cup rlilce, ttud not too many of them." "Hut there nre 20 warriors to every aoiillrr," was the answer, "and nil nre lighting men." They ivntehed the pair until they disappeared far to the west. All dny long the lookoutHttcurchcd thchor!.ou. All thnt night tlie sentries listened for hoofbents on the liozcmnu road, but only tho weird chorus of (lie coyotes woke the echoes of the dark prnlric. Dawn of the second duy.camc, nnd, un able to benr suspeiiM', the niiijor sent a little party, mounted .on their fleet est horses, to scour the prairie nt least halfway to the foothills of the Dig Horn, nnd just nt nightfall they enme back throo at least galloping like mad, their imouuts n innss of foam. FoUom's dread vuik well founded. Red Cloud, with Jienvcn only knows how many warriors, had campod on Crazy Woman's Fori: within the past three days, nnd gone on up stream. JIc might have met nnd fought fthe troops sent out three -Jays before. He must hnve met the troops dispatched to Wnrrior (lap. And this last, ul least, he had done. For n few seconds after the full of the buffalo bull, the watchers on tbc dis tant ridge lay still, except that Dean, turning slightly, culled to the ondrrly trumpeter, who had come trotting out Btfcr tho troop commander, and svns now halted and nfoot some 20 yards down the slope. "Co bnck, llryan," lie ordered. "Halt the ambulances. Noti fy Capt. llrooks that there, arc lots of Indians ahead, and have the sergeant deploy tho men at once." Then he .turned back and with his field gloss studied the party nlong the ravine. "They can't have seen us, can they, lieutenant?" muttered the trooper nearest him. But Dean's young faco wns grave and clouded. Certainly tho Indians acted as though they were totally un aware of the presence of troops, but tho 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 wns conquered as this was from their ene mies, tho CrowB), without vigilant ,. scouts nfnr out on front and flank. The moro ho thought the more he knew thnt even as enrly ns three o'clock those kern-ryed fellows must have sighted his little column, con spicuous ns it was because of its wag ons. Hcyond question-, he told him self, the chief of the baud or village so steadily approaching from (lie northeast hnd full Information of their presence, and wns coming confidently uhcad. What had ho to fear? Kten though tho blood of settlers nnd sol diers might still bo red upon the hands of his brnves, even though fresh scalps might bo dangling nt tills moment from their shields, what mattered It? ()ld he not know that tho safeguard of he Indlnn burcnu iprend like tho wing 'of a protecting angel over him nnd lilt people, forbidding troops to molest or open fire unlets they themselves wero attacked? Did he not laugh In his rngged shirt sleeve at the policy of the whlfe fool who would permit the red enemy to rldo boldly up to his soldiers, count their numbers, inspect their ar ray, satisfy himself aa to their arma ment and readiness, then calculate the chances, and, It he thought the force too strong, ride ou 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 braves, surround, massacre and scalp, and swear before tne commissioners sent out to Investigate next moon that , nnd his people knew nothing about le mauer noining, ui icusi, mat hr could be Induced (o (ell. ne moment more Ucnn watchod and llted. Two of the Indians ln the line wero busily reloading their bs. Two others were ulmlng over bank, for, with the strange stupid of their kind, the other buffalo, when startled by the shot, had fcr sought ssiwty In flight, but were now sniffing the odor of blood on tho tainted air nnd slowly, womlcrlngly drawing near the stricken lender ns though to nsk what nlicd him. Obe dient nnd docilo tho Indlnn ponlcsstood with drooping heads, hidden under the shelter of tho steep banks. Nearer and nearer enmo tho big black animals, bulk', stupid, fatuoui.; the foremost lowered n hugo head to sniff nt the blood oozing from the shoulder of the dying bull, then two more sliots punctf out from the ravine, tho hugo head tossed suddenly In nlr, nnd tho un gainly brute stnrtcd nnd stnggcrcd, whirled nbout nnd rtnrtcil a tew ynrds nwny, then plunged on Its knees, nnd tho next moment, stnrtlcd nt some sight tho soldier watchers could not sec, tho blnck band wan seized with sudden panic nnd darted llko mad into tho depths of tho wntcrcourse, dls nppenrcd one moment from sight, then, suddenly renppcnrlng, came laboring up the hither side, straight for the crest on which they lay, n dozen black, bounding, panting beasts thundering over the ground, loiiouru uy nan n dozen darting Indlnn panics, each with ills lithe rider scurrying in pursuit "Out of the way, men! Don't flrci" shouted Denn. And, rcrnmbllng bnck townrd their horses, tho llcutcnnnt nnd his men drew nwny from the front nt tho charging herd, invisible an yet to the halted troop nnd to the occu pants of the ambulance, whose eager heads could be seen poked out nt the side doors of the lending vehicle, ns though watching for the cause of the sudden halt. And then n thing happened thnt nt least one man saw nnd fortunately remembered Inter, llryan, the trum peter, with jabbing heels nnd flapping arms, wus tearing bnck townrd the troop nt the moment nt the top speed of his grny chnrgcr, already so nenr thnt he wns shouting to the sergeant In the lend. By this time, too, thnt vet eran trooper, with the quick sense of duty thnt seemed to Insplro the war timu sergeant, hnd jumped his little column "front into line" to meet the uiisun dnngcr; so thnt now, with enr blues ndvnnecd, sonic thlrtj blue jack ets were nllgncd In the loose fighting order of the prairies in front of the foremost wngon. The sight of the dls tnnt nlllccr nnd men tumbling hur riedly to one 6ldc, out of the way pie sumably of some swiftly-coming peril, noted like mnglc on the line. Carbines wero quickly brought to ready, the gun locks crackling In chorus ns the JPSf WMmt- Dlidalntully tnnscdiUtlr backs. horses pranced nnd snorted. But It hud n vnrylug cft"eet on the occupants of tho leading wngon. The shout of "Indians" from Bryuu's lips, the sight of scurry on the ridge ulicnd brought tho engineer nnd uldde-cump spring ing out, rifle in hand, .to take their inunly pnrt in the coming frny. It should hnve brought Mnj.Burlelgh too, but that appropriately named non combatant never showed outside. An Instant more nnd to the sound of rising .thunder, before the uatonlshcd eyes of the cavalry lino there burst into view, full tear for safely, the uncouth, yet nuirvclously swift-running leaders of the little herd. The whole dozen came flying across the fcky line and down the gentle slope, heudlng well around to tbo left of the line of troopers, while sticking to their flanks like red net tles linlf a dozen warriors rode like the wind on their nimble ponies, crack ing away with revolver or rifle lu snv ago joy in the glorious sport. Too much for Burleigh's none wus the combination of sounds, thunder of hoofs nnd sputter of sliots, for when a cheer of sympathetic delight went up from the soldier line at the sight of the chase, nnd tho young engineer sprang to the door of the nmbulnncu to help the major out, he found hlin a limp nnd ghastly heap, quivering with terror In tho bottom or tne wagon, iookwk " all the world as If ho wero trying to crawl under tho scat. CHAPTER IV. Away to tho left of the little com mand tore tho quarry and the chase. Out on tho rolling prairie, barely four hundred yards from where the ambu lance and mules were backed Into u tunglo of trnccs nnd whlflletrecs nnd fenrstrleken crentures, another buffa lo hud dropped in n heapj n swarthy rider had tumbled off his pony, cut n slush or two with ever-ready knife, nnd then, throwing a bend-bedlzencd left leg over his engcr little mount, hnd gono Inshlng nwuy after his fellows, not without a Jeering slap ut the halt ed soldiery. Then, In nlmost less time than It tnkes to tell It, tho pursued nnd pursuers hnd vanished from sight over a low rldgo a mile to the north. "Only a hunting partyl" suld ono of tho nervous recruits, with n gulp of re lief. "Only a hunting party," gnsped Burleigh, as prciscntly he henved him self up from tho floor, "and I thought I'd never find that damned gun of mine. All this fuss for nothlngl" ho continued, his lips still blue and quiv ering. "That green youngster up there in front hasn't learned the first princi ples of plalnscrnf t yet. Here, Brooks," he added, loudly, "It's high time you were looking after this sub of yours," and Brooks, despite His Illness, was in deed worklngoutof tho back door of his yellow trundle bed at the moment, ami looking anxiously about. But the en gineer stood pale and quiet, coolly studying the flustered growler, and when Burleigh's shifting eyes sought that young scientist's faco, what he read there and Burleigh was no fool tola; him he would be wise, to cbango the tune. The aid had pushed him iii front of the troop and wai signaling to Dean, obos more In saddle and scan ning through his gists the big band afar down the vail. "Tnko my horse, sir," snld the aer gennt, dismounting, nnd'tho officer thankcd'hlm and rodo swiftly out to join the young commander at tho front. Together they gnzed and con sulted nnd still no signal cntno to re sumo the advance. Then the troopers saw tho staff officer mnko ft broad sweep with his right arm to tho south, nnd in n moment Dcnh's lint wns up lifted nnd tvnvcd well out In thnt di rection. "Drop cnrblnc," growled thu sergeant. "By twos ngnln. Incline to tho right. Damn tho Bloux, I snyt Hnvo we got to circle ilvo miles around thcl'r hunting ground for fenr of hurt ing their feelings? Come on, Jlmmy,' he added to the driver of tho tending' wngon. Jimmy responded with vig orous lnngungc nt tho expense of his lending mules. The quartermaster and engineer silently scrnmblcd In; tho ambulance stnrtcd with a jerk nnd nwny went the pnrt.y off to tho right of the troll, tho wncons Jolting n bit now over tho uneven clumps of bunch grnss. But onco well up at the summit of the low divide the command reined In for n look nt the grent Indian cnvnl cade swarming In the northenstwnrd valley, nnd covering Its grassy surface still n good mile away. Out from nmoug the dingy mass came galloping halt n dozen young brnves, followed by ns man j squaws. The former soon spread out over tho billowy surface, soma following tho direction of the chase, some bounding ou southwest ward as though confident of finding what, they sought the moment they reached the nearest ridge; homo rid ing straight to tho point where lay the carcasses of the onrll;st victims of the hunt. Here lu full view of the soldiery, but vouchsafing them no glance nor greeting whatever, two young warriors reined In their lively ponies nnd dlsdnliifully turned their backs upon tho spcetntorH on the dl !dc, while the squaws, with shrill laugh nnd chatter, rolled from their saddles nnd began the drudgery of their lot skinning nnd cutting up the buffaloes slaughtered by their lords. "Don't you see," sneered Burleigh, "It's nothing but a villngu out for a hunt nothing In Rod's world to get stampeded about. We've hud all this show of warlike preparations fur noth ing." But he turned away again ns he caught the sternly look in the en gineer's blue eyes, nnd shouted to his more appreciative friend, the ntd-dc- enmp: "Well, pnrdncr, haven't we fooled nwny enough time here, or hnve wo got to nwnlt the pleasure of people thnt never saw Indians before?" Denn flushed crimson nt tho taunt. He well knew for whom It wns meant. He wns Indignant cuotigh by this time to spetik for himself, but the nld-de-camp sated him the trouble. "I requested Mr. Denn to hnlt n few moments. Burleigh, it Is necessary I should know whnt baud this is, and how mnny ure.out." "Well, be quick about It," snapped the qunrtcrmnGtcr. "I want to get to Reno before midnight, and nt this rntc wc won't make it In n week." A sergennt Who could spotlit a little Sioux came riding bnck to the camp, n grin ou his sun-blistered face. "Well, sergeant, what'd he sny?" usked the staff olllcer. "Be snld would I plne go to hell, sor," wns the prompt response. "Won't he tell who they arc?" "Ho won't, sorr. He wiys wo know widout. nskln', Which Is thrue, sorr. They're Ogullnllus -to a man, barrln' the squaws nnd pnpiiooses, wid ould Red Cloud himself." "llow'd you find out If they wouldn't tnlk?" nsked the btnff officer, Impa tiently. " Tito the bucks wouldn't talk ex cept In swear wurruili. 1 wasted no time on them, irr. I gave the first squaw the last hardtack In me saddle bags and tould her was it Machpeulotii, nnd she wild It was, und he wns wid Box Knrcsha that's ould Folsom not lx hour ago, an' Folsoiri's gone bank to the enntonment. "Then tho quicker wc skip tho bet ter," wero the nld-de-cump'H words. "Get in to Reno fast as you -enn, Denn. Strike for thu rond again as soon ns we're well beyond their buffalo. Now for itl There's something behind nil this bogus hunt buslncKS, nnd FoKom knows whnt it is." And ewry mile of tho wny, until thick dnrkness settled down ortr tho prnlric, there wns something behind the trooper cavalcade several some things wnry red men, young nnd wiry, who never let themselves be seen, yet followed on over wnve after wave of prnlrlo to look to It thnt no man went back from thnt column to carry the news of their presence to the little battalion left In charge of the new post nt Wnrrior Onp. It was the dark of the moon, or, ns tho Indians say, "the nights the moon Is sleeping lu his lodge," nnd by ten p. in. the skies were overcast. Only hero and there n twinkling star wan visible, und only where some trooper struck n light for his pipe could n hand be seen In front of the fare. The ambulance mules thnt hnd kept their steady jog during the late afternoon nnd the long gloaming that followed still Hceuied ublu to maintain the gait, and even the big, lumbering wagon ut the renr came briskly ou under the tug of Its triple span, hut lu the Inteuso darkness tho guides nt the hend of the column kept losing the road, und tho bumping of tho wagons would revenl tho fact, nnd n hnlt would be ordered, men would dismount nnd go bending nnd crouching nnd feeling their wny over tho nlmost barren surface, hunt ing among the snge brush for the dou ble furrow of tho trail. Matches in numerable were consumed, nnd min utes of valuable lime, and tho qunrter master waxed fretful and Impatient, and swore that his mules could find their way whero tho troopers couldn't, and finally, after tho (rail had been lost nnd found hnlf a dozen times, old Brooks wns badgered Into telling Dean to lit (ho nmhulnnce tnko the lead. Tho driver shirked nt once. "Thero'a no tcllln' whero we'll fetch up," snld he. "Those mules can't see the trail If a man can't. Take (heir harness off nnd turn 'cm lonse, an' I supposo they can find (heir way (o (lie post, but sure un you turn them loose when they've got somethln' on 'em, or behind 'em, nnd (he dogguno cussedncsa of (he creatures will prompt them to smash things."

Piles Cured While You Sleep You are costive, and nature is under a constant strain to relieve the condition. This causes a rush of blood to the rectum, and before long congested lumps appear, Itching, painful, bleeding. Then you have piles. There are many kinds nnd many cures, but piles aro not cura ble unless you assist nature In removing the cause. CASCARETS make effort easy, regulate and soften the stools, relieving the tension, and giving naturo a chance to uso her healing power. Piles, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other rectal trouble, yield to the treatment, and Cascarets quickly and surely remove them forever.
