A ee Foss IN AM13UsU ' Cc FRoM rE RANKS E OHAPTER XVL Juno had coie, a radiant Juno, and all at Frayne was joyous anticipation, despite the inomentous fact that the Platte had overleapod its bounds and w? a raging like some mad mountain torrent far as the eye could see. The flats to the west of tho post wero ono broad, muddy biko. The grassy bench beneath the blAffs to the east was par tially torn away. Part of Bunko Jim's frontier stronghold still clung to the opposite bank, but somo of it was dis tributed in driftwood long leagues down stream. Across the river, at a point half a mile abovo the ruin of the ferry house, a troop of eavalry, caught on re turn from scout, hmd pitched its tents and picketed its horses and was waiting for the falling of the waters to enablo it to return to its station, and with that troop, the maddest man in all Wyo ming, was Lieutenant Will Farrar. Six or seven weeks previously an or dor had como to Fenton to send two troops to scout the western slopes of the Big Horn and keep the peace between the settlers and the Shoshones. Time was when these latter rarely ventured across the Big Horn river, part ly through fear of the Sioux, who claimed sovereignty over all the lands east of the Shoshono preserves in the Wind river valley, partly Grough regard for tho or ders of their loyal old chief, Washakic, who for long, long years of his life had kept faith with the great white father, hold his people in check and suffered the inevitablo consequences of poverty and neglect, the policy of the Indian bureau being to load with favors only those of its wards who defy it and deal death to the whites. Settlers seldom encroach upon the Sioux, those gentry being abundantly able and moro than Willing to take care of themselves, but the Shoshones had knownt, long years of enervating peace and, being held in subjection by their chief, becamo the nntural prey of the whites, whonuistook subordination for subservience, as is natural to freeborn Americans and as easily adopted by fellow citizens of for eign birth and who soon began to en croach on their own account, stealing Shoshono crops and cattle and promptly accusing tho army officer on duly as agent of cattle stealing and all around rascality when he rpscized the captured stock. Then, whilo this badgered official was defending hims'elf in court, the Sho shones had to defend themselves in the field, and that peripatetic buffer between the oppressor an(d the oppressed, the corporations and the cranks, tho law and the lawless-tho much bedeviled army-was sent out as usual to receive the slings and arrows of outrageous for tune anIid of both parties. Finding it difficult to swindle the Shohones so long as their new ageit-tle army agent rCmamned in power, the obvious thing was to down hinm by misrepresentation at Washington and, if that didn't work, by deft manipulation of the local lav. Of course they didn't expect to prove him guilty of 4nytlhing, but there was no law against lying, and they could compel him to como into court and prove himself innocent and leave his un - armed wards at the morcy of tho settler in the meantime, and so it happened that t hero were hiigh j inks up the Wind river valley and along those wonderful raniges ini thoe wildl valleys of the Gray Bull, t he Mecyero, the .Meetectseo, north of t he Owl (Creek mount ni, s, and, the cavalry having long since been with drawn furomi that sect ion, that was how the detail fell on old Fort 1'rayne. "'You can straighatent matters out in a ment h, '' said I lhe commanding officer to Major Wayne, wh'lo had hastened backc from the east to take command, and when it came to selecting the troops to go, even though it lacked less than two months to his wvedding (lay, Will Farrar gloried i14 the fact that his was one of themi. It is hard to conceive of a ,lot in which a spirited, soldierly fellowv of 21 could possibly be happier than commanding a t roop of cavalry on an expedition t hroughm so glorious a coun try. Amiory's 1100op and Lealo's were designated, anmd, the lat ter captain being still in Berlin and the senior subaltern on staff duty in the cast, Farrar was his own captain and troop commander and(, despite the troubles of the Christmas season, long since buried so far as he was concerned, just- about t he happiest fellow that wvoro the army blue., The expedition had proved oven lon. gor than was p~lamnted, bracht last, while ___ -. ~ VhtyrfoviWhAmory and the recaptured cattle and rounded up Shoshones, wont over~ the Owl Creek mountains to render account of tihs stewardlship at Fort Washakie, Will was told to make the best of his way homeoward with his own commtand, and, marching leisurely along it the radiant spring mornings through a country unmatched for wild( beauty in all America, shooting, fish ing, plunging in mountain streams, sleeping dreamlessly in the open air by night, they reached the valley of the Platte toward mid-Juno.

Tile flag tipped bluffs of 0old Fort Fraynio would gr'eot their oycs before the (10s0 of tomorrow's march, and so they did, but with a raginug to1'rent tearing at their base, andc this was Monday and less thant 48 hom111 of Will's wettilog day.

"You'll ruo it, Kitty, that evo: insisted O 11my having Wayno foi 11111," wroto poor Will, with proi but unavailing protest. "Waynoi my Willy," was the positive rojoi; and no one but Wayno would do. right," said Will, "if you find later that there's been some fl.tal in the proceedings, don't blame mc But here, onl this glad June mon all sunshino and serenity aloft, all turlbation at the post, all raging about it, it looked as though the enediligs themselves would be del and that instead of a military wed in the post chapel at high noon, every body en grando tenue, there i be no wedding at all. even thouuh like a nodern Leander, swam this western Hellespont in search oj bride.
