THE BOURBON NEWS PARIS KY TUESDAY OCTOBER 9 1900 7 J Ji tr itr THE SONGS OF SUMMER- Oh many a song the summer sings To many a listening heart When the forest rlnss with the carolings That forth from a birdthroat start For ttta youthful ones there is aye a strain Of hope In the viorant air While their eyes are bright and thefr hearts are light And the Future seems so fair But another song for the prime of life By the breeze is borne along Like a martial strain Is its bold refrain Be valiant and brave and strong There is work to do there are heights to gain And crowns lor the herobrow There are harvests bright for the reap ers might And the golden hour is now But the summer sings for the aged ear A sontr that is sweet and low Like a distant strain as it throbs again With joys of the long ago Tis a psalm of praise and a hymn of peace With its memories fair and fond And a chord at last that binds the Past To the beautiful Beyond Lalla Mitchell In Farm Journal r1 I I i ¬ CHAPTER Xin And now indeed came for Marshall Dean a time in which he could see a divided duty A camp of woodchop pers in one of the deep sequestered valleys of the mountains had been sud- denly set upon by a host of mounted Indians that seemed like the warriors born of the dragons teeth to spring up from the earth and yelling like fiends bore down upon the little guard Happily for the woodchoppers but un luckily for Lo the commander was a coolheaded veteran of the late war who had listened time and again to yells as frantic and had withstood charge after charge ten times as de termined Most unluckily for Lo the infantry company was armed with the new Springfield breechloader and when the band cAne exultantly on having as they supposed drawn the fire when full four hundred yards away they confounded by the lively crackle and sputter of rifles along the timber in front of them top pling many a dashing warrior to earth and strewing the ground with slaugh tered ponies That charge failed but they rallied in furious force There were only 40 soldiers they had 500 braves so on they came again from three different points and again did Powells sheltered bluecoats them like autumn leaves before the storm Thrice and four times did they essay to stampede the soldiets and sweep off their own dead and wounded and each time they were soundly thrashed thanks to cool courage and the new breechloaders And Red Cloud cursing his medicine men drew off his baffled braves and the hills that night resounded to their vengeful war whoops and echoed back the wailing- of the Indian women mourning over the slain All well enough so far lads cried Folsom when he heard the news Machpealot is unmasked Its war to the knife now so for Gods sake send all the troops you can muster to the aid of those already up there in the Big Horn Next time he hits hell have all the Northern Sicuxx at his back you mark my wordai But who the devil is John Folsom said the bureau again Arrest Red Cloud Bring his band in prisoners were the orders to the agents and the agents called for troops to go and their bidding Its one thing as Ive had occasion to say before to stand off with a thousand In dians armed only with old percussion- cap muskets squirrel rifles bows clubs and lances its another thing for soldiers armed even with the best the market affords to march itttb an Indian position arid arrest an Indian chief There were not soldiers enough north of the Platte to dp it and the war department knew it ii he bureau didnt Hence the muster- ing in force along the river and the mounting in hot haste of perhaps ten more troops and companies nowhere near enough for the work in hand but all the nation had within a months march that could possibly be spared from other work and work more important And there was wrath at Emory where the colonel found himself or dered to send all his transportation to Frayrie forthwith and allliiS troops except one of foot Dam- nation Ive only got two companies- of foot he screamed in the shrill trebel of piping senility And they metn to rob me of my cavalry too C troop is ordered to be held in readiness for special service The transportation consisting of three wagons and two ambulances with the somber company of infantry started next day and Dean with eager expectancy men in camp cooked rations ready am- munition pouches filled arms and equipments overhauled and in perfect order horses examiner and reshod ready for the word that might come any winute and carry knew not whither Folsom and the girls had to drive back to dinner without him Despite the permission sent by the colonel he would not leave his troop and go in town So back they came in the soft moonlight and pent a long lovely summer evening with him while the band played meloiious ly in the fort ihclosure and the tars twinkled the peaks o the Rockies in the southern skies Fol om pent the hours wiring to and conferring vrith such pfflr s tis I i j vere I bree hloaders I himhe over

saying that he must give personal attention to the selec tion of the teams and wagons the early evening in his corral but sent word to Folsom that he hoped to see him in the on business of great importance He had other hopes too one of them being that now the order to send that big sum in currency to the new stockade would be revoked He had lost no time in to the chief quar termaster of the department the hazard He quoted Folsom as- saying that before we could send 100 men to Warrior Gap Red Cloud could call 5000 and the chief quartermas- ter being a man of method and a stranger to the frontier said as said the bureau Who the devil is John Folsom Do as you are told But that answer only came the following day Meantime there was respite and hope Long lived that beautiful evening in the memory of four young hearts A sweet south wind had been gently playing all day and left the night warm and fragrant of the pines and cedars in the mountain parks All Fort Emory seemed made up of wom- en and children now for such few sol diers as were left barring the bands- men were packing or helping pack and store about the barracks From soon ten the mu sicians occupied their sheltered wood en kiosk on the parade and filled the air with sweet strains of waltz or or stirring martial melody spent ex- treme after eight until nearly song ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ For an hour with Elinor on his arm young Dean was strolling up and down the moonlit walk marvel- ing over the beauty of her dark yet winsome face and Loomis and Jessie stanch friends already sauntered after them For a time the merry chat went on unbroken They were talking of that nevertobeforgotten- visit to the first and of the hop to which the tall ca det captain took the timid school girl and of her hop card and the distinguished names it bore as names ran in the old days of the battalion Roy who danced so beautifully and rode so was with the th cavalry now somewhere along the U P said of Billings the cadet adjutant he was with a light battery in Louisiana Where this Capt Newhall is stationed inter rupted Pappoose with quick upward look I wonder if he knows him Mr DeanHe doesnt like him Ill venture to say said Dean if Newhall doesnt suit you and Jessie and Im sure I shant And then they went on to talk of the lovely dance music they had at the Point that summer and how bewitchingly Elsen used to play that pretty very thing for a moonlit night One could almost see the Indian fairies dancing about their tiny firesIt was that first at West I danced with Ca Folsom PointPappooses f wellhe Deanand galopPuckwudjies- the galopmy Pointthat ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ det Capt Dean said Pappoose look- ing blithely up into his steadfast eyes Youve no idea what a proud girl I was They were at the upper end of the parade at the moment The kiosk Was 50 away its band ligHts sparkling under the can- opy the moonlight glinting on the smooth surface of the dancing floor that an indulgent post T commander had had placed there Half a dozen young garrison girls arm in arm and by twos were strolling about its waxen face awaiting the next piece and some of them had been importun ing the leader for at the moment soft and rippling sweet and thrilling quick and bewitching the exquisite opening strains of Puckwudji floated out the night Oh Jess Listen cried Elinor in ecstasy and surprise as she turned back with quickly beating heart No no indeed replied her sol dier escort with a throb in his breast that echoed and overmastered that in her own No time to was your first galop at the Point let it be our first in Wyoming And in moment more the tall lithe sup- ple slender forms were gliding about the dancing floor in perfect time to the lovely music but now her dark eyes could not meet the fire in the blue Following their lead Loomis and Jessie joined the dance Other couples from along the row hastened- to the scene In five minutes a lively hop was on at Emory and when at last breathing a little hurriedly and with heightened color Elinor Folsom glanced up into his joyous and beam ing had forgotten that Mr Dean she archly said but down went the dark eyes again at his fervent reply Yes I admit it but so long as I live Ill never forget this Small wonder was it that when Bur leigh came driving out at tattoo for a brief conference with the colonel his sallow face ook on a darker shade as he suddenly caught sight of that couple standing at the moment apart from the dancers peeing neither them o upon listencome- It faceYou g lop i t5 w hori ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ nor him hearing for the moment no music but that which trembled in the tones of his deep voice for Elinor was strangely silent Marshall Dean whispered Jessie that night as she hugged him be fore being lifted ta her seat tell me true wasnt Pappooses picture in your h6atit pocket Didnt that bul- let crease at Promise on your honor not to tell Jess he whispered She nodded delightedly and whats more its there now Early on the morrow came further news Troops from Steele and Bridger were on the move but no word for the cavalry at Emory and far shall Dean hitherto most for field service learned with joy ha felt ashamed to own that lie had still an other day to spend in the society of Jessie and her friend But how much of that elation Jessie could have claimed as due to her every sister whose brother is in love can better tell than L At eight they came driv- ing out to hear the band at guard mounting though to old Pecksniffs pathetic sorrow he could mount only twelve men all told That ceremony over they watched with kindling eyes the sharp drill of Marshalls troop that soldierly young commander one may feel well assured showing his men his horses and himself off to the best of his ability as who would not have done under such scrutiny as that Loomis was with them but Eli nor drove for her father had urgent business he said and must remain at his office Maj Burleigh he added was to meet him whereat the girls were silent eager I Yes eme ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ If you could have heard the major pleading with that cantankerous old fool at the fort in Marshalls behalf you would get over your wrath at Burleigh just as I did said Folsom to both apparently and still neither answered Burleigk was evidently persona non grata in the eyes of both He tells me Capt is still here waiting for a train to be made up to run back to Cheyenne Im afraid Ill to ask him to bring the captain to dinner today Do you think Mr Dean will care to come he asked- I think he would rather not leave camp said Jessie slowly Orders may come any minute he says Yes I suppose so answered vaguely relieved Something told him that there was antagonism be tween the young fellow and Burleigh that would be apt to involve Newhall too Ill ask them both if you dont very much mind he went on whis- pering to Elinor And will you tell Mrs Fletcher How is she this morn- ing Just as usual papa She says she has rather violent headaches once in awhile and she thinks it prudent to keep her room today But I can to everything Indeed thought thedaughter she wished she had it all to do And so Folsom had gone to meet Burleigh and the girls had planned at least Jessie had that Marshall aft er drill should ride beside them into town and have a chat in the parlor while she wrote to the li- brary But a thing happened that no one could have foreseen Just before drill was over and while they were still watching it from their seats in the covered wagon a buggy drove up alongside and Maj Burleigh jumped out gave the reins to his companion and bade him come to him as soon as he had finished what he wished to do at the sutlers The majors face was perturbed that of his companion looked black and ugly It was Capt Newhall and something was amiss The latter barely tipped his hat in driving away the former heaved a sigh of relief then turned to greet the girls Fol- som at- tend motherin ewha1l have ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ Ten minutes passed in constraint and awkwardness Burleigh felt that lie was unwelcome but his eyes were fixed in fascination on Elinor Fol- som and he could not go Presently drill was dismissed and Dean all aglow came galloping up his orderly trumpeter following Not until joyously greeted both the girls did he see who was standing by the forward wheel on the opposite side Good morning Mr Dean said Burleigh affably I never saw that troop look so well Good morning sir said Dean cold- ly Then turned to speak again io Miss Folsom when the buggy came whirring back He isnt here Burleigh said the occupant petulantly Hes in town and youve got to find him right off Come on Burleigh turned livid Capt New hall he said you fail to notice I am with friends They are friends who will be glad to get rid of you then replied the stranger thickly and it was easy to see that he had been drinking All the same Burleigh went CHAPTER XIV Another day Dean and Troop Cwere held in camp awaiting orders for spe cial service and no orders came Old Pecksniff had an eye girls a trait by no means in sol- diers old or young and prettier girls than Pappoose or Jessie he had never met Mrs Stevens was accordingly bidden to invite them to luncheon that very day and Dean and Loomis were of the party as were other young people of the post arid despite the rising war clouds in the north and the recent un- pleasantness at Emory and an odd manner indicative of suppressed ex- citement on part of both Dean and Loomis a very joyous time they had until the damsels had to drive home to dress for dinner Folsom had named six as the hour Burleigh Newhall and the two boys were mentioned as his guests accepted for pelf and partner Loomis for himself with mental reservation Dean at once had begged to be excused After the morn- ings disappearance of BurleJgh and he- ad for pretty rar Burl igh ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ Surljv as Miss Folsom promptly named the pair Marshal had ridden into Gate City at the side of the Fol- som carriage and wa welcomed by thq old trader himself who looked pained when told he could not attend the dinner Surely Col Stevens will let you off said Folsom but that ob- viously was not the reason Im the only officer with my troop sajd Dean and cannot ask But when Folsom took his daughter- in his arms a little later and inquired whether there was not some graver cause behind the one assigned Elinor calmly answered that she thought there was and that the cause was Maj Burleigh But daughter dear said he thats just one reason I wish to bring them together Then Dean could see how pleasantly disposed the major is and he was amazed when she replied Maj Burleigh may be pleasantly dis posed but Mr Dean is not by any means nor would I be were I in his place papa My child said he what do you know about it Everything that Jessie knows be sides what we heard on the train Maj Mr Dean told her of several things Maj Burleigh had said and done to his discredit and no wonder he declines to dine with a man who has deliberately maligned him I wish I had thought of that said Folsom his knotty hands deep in the pockets of his loosefitting trousers- I saw Burleigh this morning on some business and he seemed to want to help Dean along What took him out to the fort do 3ou suppose I dont know she answered grave- ly He had Capt Newhall with him in quest of somebody who wasnt thereAh yes Griggs the sutler I heard of it interposed Folsom fingering his watch chain Very possibly The captain was ugly and rude in manner arid Maj B rleigh very much embarrassed In deed daddy dear I should riot be great- ly surprised if others of your party failed to come Burleigh do you mean or his queer guest But Pappoose did not reply She seemed listening intently and then with swift sudden movement darted across to the heavy Navajo blanket portiere that hung at the doorway of a little room back of the library Her voice was far from cordial as she asked o ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ To Be Continued DOGS DISTURB SERVICES Storfes with

usual for Highland shepherds to take their dogs to church and leave them outside the pews Two shepherds at enmity sat on opposite sides of the aisle one Sunday Soon after the ser mon began the dogs one a collie and the other to enter into their masters quarrel One tender of the flock and then the other egged on his animal and each faithful dog obeyed his master The people at last craned their necks over the pews and when the dogs actually fought not a few of the congregation were upstand ing The ministers patience was ulti matey exhausted and so he called to his hearers and said Ah weel my

THE SONGS OF SUMMER-

Oh many a song the summer singsTo many a listening heart

When the forest rlnss with the carolingsThat forth from a birdthroat start

For ttta youthful ones there is aye astrain

Of hope In the viorant airWhile their eyes are bright and thefr

hearts are lightAnd the Future seems so fair

But another song for the prime of lifeBy the breeze is borne along

Like a martial strain Is its bold refrainBe valiant and brave and strong

There is work to do there are heights togain

And crowns lor the herobrowThere are harvests bright for the reap

ers mightAnd the golden hour is now

But the summer sings for the aged earA sontr that is sweet and low

Like a distant strain as it throbs againWith joys of the long ago

Tis a psalm of praise and a hymn ofpeaceWith its memories fair and fond

And a chord at last that binds the PastTo the beautiful BeyondLalla Mitchell In Farm Journal

If you could have heard the majorpleading with that cantankerous oldfool at the fort in Marshalls behalfyou would get over your wrath atBurleigh just as I did said Folsomto both apparently and still neitheranswered Burleigk was evidentlypersona non grata in the eyes ofboth He tells me Capt isstill here waiting for a train to bemade up to run back to Cheyenne Imafraid Ill to ask him to bringthe captain to dinner today Doyou think Mr Dean will care tocome he asked-

I think he would rather not leavecamp said Jessie slowly Ordersmay come any minute he says

Yes I suppose so answeredvaguely relieved Something told

him that there was antagonism between the young fellow and Burleighthat would be apt to involve Newhalltoo Ill ask them both if you dontvery much mind he went on whis-pering to Elinor And will you tellMrs Fletcher How is she this morn-ing

Just as usual papa She says shehas rather violent headaches once inawhile and she thinks it prudent tokeep her room today But I can

And so Folsom had gone to meetBurleigh and the girls had plannedat least Jessie had that Marshall after drill should ride beside them intotown and have a chat in the parlorwhile she wrote to the li-

brary But a thing happened that noone could have foreseen Just beforedrill was over and while they werestill watching it from their seats inthe covered wagon a buggy drove upalongside and Maj Burleigh jumpedout gave the reins to his companionand bade him come to him as soon ashe had finished what he wished to doat the sutlers The majors face wasperturbed that of his companionlooked black and ugly It was CaptNewhall and something was amissThe latter barely tipped his hat indriving away the former heaved asigh of relief then turned to greetthe girls

Ten minutes passed in constraintand awkwardness Burleigh felt thatlie was unwelcome but his eyes werefixed in fascination on Elinor Fol-som and he could not go Presentlydrill was dismissed and Dean allaglow came galloping up his orderlytrumpeter following Not until

joyously greeted both the girlsdid he see who was standing by theforward wheel on the opposite side

Good morning Mr Dean saidBurleigh affably I never saw thattroop look so well

Good morning sir said Dean cold-ly Then turned to speak again ioMiss Folsom when the buggy camewhirring back

He isnt here Burleigh said theoccupant petulantly Hes in townand youve got to find him right offCome on

Burleigh turned livid Capt Newhall he said you fail to notice I amwith friends

They are friends who will be glad toget rid of you then replied thestranger thickly and it was easy tosee that he had been drinking All thesame Burleigh went

CHAPTER XIVAnother day Dean and Troop Cwere

held in camp awaiting orders for special service and no orders came

Old Pecksniff had an eyegirls a trait by no means in sol-diers old or young and prettier girlsthan Pappoose or Jessie he had nevermet Mrs Stevens was accordinglybidden to invite them to luncheon thatvery day and Dean and Loomis were ofthe party as were other young peopleof the post arid despite the rising warclouds in the north and the recent un-pleasantness at Emory and an oddmanner indicative of suppressed ex-citement on part of both Dean andLoomis a very joyous time they haduntil the damsels had to drive home todress for dinner Folsom had namedsix as the hour Burleigh Newhalland the two boys were mentioned ashis guests accepted for pelfand partner Loomis for himself withmental reservation Dean at once hadbegged to be excused After the morn-ings disappearance of BurleJgh and

Surljv as Miss Folsom promptlynamed the pair Marshal had riddeninto Gate City at the side of the Fol-som carriage and wa welcomed bythq old trader himself who lookedpained when told he could not attendthe dinner Surely Col Stevens willlet you off said Folsom but that ob-viously was not the reason

Im the only officer with my troopsajd Dean and cannot ask

But when Folsom took his daughter-in his arms a little later and inquiredwhether there was not some gravercause behind the one assigned Elinorcalmly answered that she thoughtthere was and that the cause was MajBurleigh

But daughter dear said he thatsjust one reason I wish to bring themtogether Then Dean could see howpleasantly disposed the major is andhe was amazed when she replied

Maj Burleigh may be pleasantly disposed but Mr Dean is not by anymeans nor would I be were I in hisplace papa

My child said he what do youknow about it

Everything that Jessie knows besides what we heard on the train Maj

Mr Dean told her of several thingsMaj Burleigh had said and done to hisdiscredit and no wonder he declines todine with a man who has deliberatelymaligned him

I wish I had thought of that saidFolsom his knotty hands deep in thepockets of his loosefitting trousers-I saw Burleigh this morning on some

business and he seemed to want tohelp Dean along What took him out tothe fort do 3ou suppose

I dont know she answered grave-ly He had Capt Newhall with himin quest of somebody who wasntthereAh

yes Griggs the sutler I heardof it interposed Folsom fingering hiswatch chain

Very possibly The captain wasugly and rude in manner arid MajB rleigh very much embarrassed Indeed daddy dear I should riot be great-ly surprised if others of your partyfailed to come

Burleigh do you mean or his queerguest

But Pappoose did not reply Sheseemed listening intently and thenwith swift sudden movement dartedacross to the heavy Navajo blanketportiere that hung at the doorway ofa little room back of the library Hervoice was far from cordial as sheasked
