(OrttfatLI I was a sergeant In the —th United States cavalry In the far w4st I was detailed one day to command t men acting as a guard to Major who had paid off the force at our and was going to pay those at the next. He waa a amail, bn hi head ed. lean man. except a round stomach. Which begin* to protrude upon some people after they pass forty, with a crafty eye and a silent tongue. The only words he *iK>ke were directions as to handling his safe, a small affair that could easily be lifted by two men and for which n place was arranged on a buckboard wagon which the major always used to transport the treasure. His clerk drove the horse, while the paymaster sat beside bim, the safe be- 1 tween his legs. The country through which we es corted the paymaster contained a wild and lawless i>eople. I thought at the ^ time that eight men, though drilled 1 aoldiers and well armed, were a small , guard for such a purpose. Whether the major thought so or not I didn’t , know at the time, for he said nothing, about it. 1 leaned afterward that the coipnel commanding wouldn’t give him ! any more, and the paymaster entered { on the trip under protest. We were crossing a part of what is i called the tlrent American desert or alkali plains, with nothing there higher than a man's' waist. I rode a couple of bund nil yards in advance, keeping a sharp lookout in every direction. For more than half a day nof a living thing except the members of our party and gophers was in-sight. But stnl-1 . . . deniy in turning to look to o„r right ern Railway announces very luw couml. tnj) and rear I saw ou a rise far in the distance a mounted figure locking at tis. I judged from the general outline of horse and man that he was an In dian. After what ap|*eartd to he a careful survey of us lie disappeared on the other side of the rise.” I* felt a hit uneasy. Turning. I dl- rected each man to see that his arms and ammunition were in order and no tified the paymaster of what 1 had seen. It didn’t seem to trouble him much. Wh jogged on for a few miles dnd when emerging from low ground suddenly heard a mingling of yellw-and saw on our right a motley crew sev eral times as large ns our own coming down on us. They were evidently a mixture of road agents and cowboys, with a sprinkling of Indians. ThVir leader rode In advance, a revolver in each hand, the only one of the lot who was not yelling. I had Just time to draw my men up in line letween the oticomers and the bucklxMird liefore they came within close range, and 1 told each man to pick one in front of him ns nearly ns be could estimate. My men were armed with rei>eatlng rifles, while the attack ing party had some guns, hut mostly revolvers. I waited till they came within 200 yards before 1 gave the order to fire. Nearly every one of my trooper* brought down his man. The gang hesitated, and I gave a second order to fire. This halted them; hut, rallied by their leader, they came ou. bringing us within range of their re volvers. and my men ItCgan to get hurt. For some minutes there was a contin ued firing on tsith sides, several of my men being put out of the fight, though but one was killed. My effective force waa reduced to four men besides my- ■elf. Major B. and his clerk. It began to look as though the roblters were go ing to get the safe. Suddenly I was astonished to see Major B.. who had sttssl In the buck board using a rltle. Jump down from the wagon, out the traces, spring on the horse’s back, and away he went like an arrow. The act demoralized my force so that they broke. I failed . to rally them, and we were all soon tumbling after the p^ymaster. Ills clerk mounted the horse of the matt who had been killed and Joined In the flight. Never have I been so Incensed In my life. T!*> paynutster^a commissioned officer, by hls cowardly ac* had oast discredit on me and my t. oii. 1 had the morti.i -n• ion to s the tramlits rule down , ,\ the sjif,. and caper Joy fully about It. All 1 could do was to help the wounded men of my com maud along, supporting them by turn in their saddles. But what surprised me was the tloet- ness of the major’s hor e. i am no Judge of horseflesh, a id I had tills taken the animal that drew the buck- board for a mere beast of burden looking ahead, I could see the pay- i master miles in advance, fleeing as fnr !, '-' ,> ' , dear life, and in time he disap|>earvd \ altogether. Tor once In my life 1 f pla oed money liefore human life and wished he were in the safe ami the funds wen- on his horse. I thought with some satisfaction how I would prefer charges of cowardice against him as aoon ns we reached the post we were making for. The bandits, having secured Ihe safe, paid no further attention to us, and we rode on to our destination. What was «ny astonishment on riding into the garrison to see Major B. sitting coolly smoking liefore an extemjioriwd desk with heaps of bills before him (laying off the enlisted men. His belly was gone. It was plain that he had taken ft off and placed it—a heap of money— on his desk. “Thanks, sergeant.” he said. I STRAWS?

Now it happened i that old Jane died, and after ' lapse of the usual time quite a crowd assembled, among them the bereaved and disconsolate widower, who took a Iront seat to hear all Brudder Sam had to say by way of comfort. Brudder Sam opened his book to find a suitable text. Having read, “The Lord loveth a cheerful giver.” No, says he> this text don’t suit. Then he read “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.” No my friends this text won’t suit Sister Jane’s case. When came, “Do unto others as you would they should do unto you.” Sam closed the book and declared he could no suit able text in the Bible to suit Sister Jane’s case, so my dear friends, I think sister Jane gone right to hell when she die.
