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

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

Washakie, Will was told to make the

commtand, and, marching leisurely
along it the radiant spring mornings
through a country unmatched for wild(
beauty in all America, shooting, fish

sleeping dreamlessly in the open air by
night, they reached the valley of the
Platte toward mid-Juno. The blessed

of tomorrow's march, and so they did,
but with a raginug to1'rent tearing at
