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

CHAPTER XinAnd now indeed came for Marshall
Dean a time in which he could see adivided duty A camp of woodchoppers in one of the deep sequesteredvalleys of the mountains had been sud-denly set upon by a host of mountedIndians that seemed like the warriorsborn of the dragons teeth to springup from the earth and yelling likefiends bore down upon the little guardHappily for the woodchoppers but unluckily for Lo the commander was acoolheaded veteran of the late warwho had listened time and again toyells as frantic and had withstoodcharge after charge ten times as determined Most unluckily for Lo theinfantry company was armed withthe new Springfield breechloaderand when the band cAne exultantlyon having as they supposed drawnthe fire when full four hundred yardsaway they confounded by thelively crackle and sputter of riflesalong the timber in front of them toppling many a dashing warrior to earthand strewing the ground with slaughtered ponies That charge failed butthey rallied in furious force Therewere only 40 soldiers they had500 braves so on they came againfrom three different points and againdid Powells sheltered bluecoats
them like autumn leaves before thestorm Thrice and four times did theyessay to stampede the soldiets andsweep off their own dead and woundedand each time they were soundlythrashed thanks to cool courage andthe new breechloaders And RedCloud cursing his medicine men drewoff his baffled braves and the hills thatnight resounded to their vengeful warwhoops and echoed back the wailing-of the Indian women mourning overthe slain All well enough so farlads cried Folsom when he heard thenews Machpealot is unmasked Itswar to the knife now so for Gods sakesend all the troops you can muster tothe aid of those already up there in theBig Horn Next time he hits hell haveall the Northern Sicuxx at his backyou mark my wordai
But who the devil is John Folsomsaid the bureau again Arrest RedCloud Bring his band in prisonerswere the orders to the agents and theagents called for troops to go andtheir bidding Its one thing as Ivehad occasion to say before to standoff with a thousand Indians armed only with old percussion-cap muskets squirrel rifles bowsclubs and lances its another thingfor soldiers armed even with the bestthe market affords to march itttb anIndian position arid arrest an Indianchief There were not soldiersenough north of the Platte to dp itand the war department knew it iihe bureau didnt Hence the muster-
ing in force along the river and themounting in hot haste of perhaps tenmore troops and companies nowherenear enough for the work in handbut all the nation had within amonths march that could possibly bespared from other work and workmore important
And there was wrath at Emorywhere the colonel found himself ordered to send all his transportation toFrayrie forthwith and allliiS
troops except one of foot Dam-nation Ive only got two companies-of foot he screamed in the shrilltrebel of piping senility And theymetn to rob me of my cavalry tooC troop is ordered to be held in
readiness for special serviceThe transportation consisting of
three wagons and two ambulanceswith the somber company of infantrystarted next day and Deanwith eager expectancy menin camp cooked rations ready am-munition pouches filled arms andequipments overhauled and in perfectorder horses examiner and reshodready for the word that might comeany winute and carry knewnot whither Folsom and the girlshad to drive back to dinner withouthim Despite the permission sent bythe colonel he would not leave histroop and go in town So back theycame in the soft moonlight and penta long lovely summer evening withhim while the band played meloiiously in the fort ihclosure and the tarstwinkled the peaks o theRockies in the southern skies Folom pent the hours wiring to

hazard He quoted Folsom as-saying that before we could send 100men to Warrior Gap Red Cloud couldcall 5000 and the chief quartermas-ter being a man of method and astranger to the frontier said as saidthe bureau Who the devil is JohnFolsom Do as you are told Butthat answer only came the followingday Meantime there was respite andhope
Long lived that beautiful evening inthe memory of four young hearts Asweet south wind had been gentlyplaying all day and left the nightwarm and fragrant of the pines andcedars in the mountain parks AllFort Emory seemed made up of wom-en and children now for such few soldiers as were left barring the bands-men were packing or helping packand store about the barracks Fromsoon ten the musicians occupied their sheltered wooden kiosk on the parade and filled theair with sweet strains of waltz or

For an hour with Elinor onhis arm young Dean was strolling upand down the moonlit walk marvel-ing over the beauty of her dark yetwinsome face and Loomis and Jessiestanch friends already saunteredafter them For a time the merrychat went on unbroken They weretalking of that nevertobeforgotten-visit to the firstand of the hop to which the tall cadet captain took the timid schoolgirl and of her hop card and thedistinguished names it bore as namesran in the old days of the battalion
Roy who danced so beautifully androde so was with the thcavalry now somewhere along theU P said of Billings thecadet adjutant he was with a lightbattery in Louisiana Where thisCapt Newhall is stationed interrupted Pappoose with quick upwardlook I wonder if he knows him Mr

Oh Jess Listen cried Elinor inecstasy and surprise as she turnedback with quickly beating heart
No no indeed replied her soldier escort with a throb in his breastthat echoed and overmastered that inher own No time to

Mr Dean she archly said butdown went the dark eyes again at hisfervent reply
Yes I admit it but so long as Ilive Ill never forget this

Marshall Dean whispered Jessiethat night as she hugged him before being lifted ta her seat tellme true wasnt Pappooses picture inyour h6atit pocket Didnt that bul-let crease at

She nodded delightedlyand whats more its there

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
to everything Indeed thoughtthedaughter she wished she had it allto do
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
