The Wishing Bone*

In her dainty finger tips ;

It snapped apart; It was I who won;
“Pray what is your wish T” said she;
But I kept in my heart the wish—:o

Whether she cared for me.
I placed my trophy above the door,
While she laughed with a girlish
scorn:

CHAPTER VTL
OR a moment there was
silence in the brightly illu
minated room. With flush
ed face and swollen veins
and twitching, clutching
hands, old Maitland stood there glaring
at the young officer. Pafore Perry could
speak' again, however, and more fully
explain the untoward circumstance,
there came a rush of'hurrying footsteps
without, and the sound of excited voices.
The next minute they heard an eager,
angry challenge, and Perry recognized
the voice of the overseer or manager
whom be .had met in the morning.
“What do you fellows want heje?"
was his brusque and loud inquiry he
sprang from the piazza and stood con
fronting the sergeant, who was quietly
seated in the saddle, and the question
-was promptly echoed by three or four
burly men who, in shirt sleeves and
various styles of undress, came tumbling
in the wake of their leader and stood
now a menacing group looking up at the
silent troopers.
If them be one thing on earth that
will stir an Irishman’s soul to its inmost
depths and kindle to instant flame the
latent heat of his pugnacity, it is just
such an inquiry in the readily recog
nized accent of the hated “Sassenach."
Perry recognized the danger in a flash,
and, springing through the open case
ment, interposed between the hostile
parties.
“Not a word, Sergt Leary. Here, Mr.
Manager, these men simply obeyed or
ders, and I am responsible for any mis
take. No harm was intended"
"Harm!” broke in one of the ranch
men, with a demonstratively loud laugh.
“Harm be bio wed! What harm could
you do, I’d like to know? If the mas
ter’ll only say the word, we’d break your
heads in a minute.'' ^, ■
“Quiet, now, Dick!" interposed the
overseer; but the other hands growled
approval, and Perry’s eyes flashed with
anger at the insult. What reply he
might have made was checked by the
sight of Sergt. Leary throwing himself
from the saddle and tossing his reins to
one of the men. He knew well enough
what that meant, and sprang instantly
in front of him.
“Back to your horse, sir! Back, in
stantly!" for the sergeant’s face was fierce
-with rageu “Mount, I say!” added the
lieutenant, as the sergeant still hesitated,
and even the sense of discipline could not
keep the mounted troopers from a mut
tered word ef encouragement Slowly,
-wrathfully, reluctantly, the soldier
-Obeyed, once turning furiously back as
jeering taunts were hurled at him from
among the ranchers, unrebuked by their
manager. “Now move off with your
men to the gate. Leave my hone, and
wait for me there. Go!” added the young
officer, sternly; and, with bitter mortifi
cation at heart and a cone stifled on his
quivering lips, the Irishman turned his
horse’s head away and slowly walked him
in the indicated direction.
“Now, Mr. Manager," said Perry,
turning fiercely upon the younger Eng-
. Hihman, “I have done my best to re
strain my men; do you look out for
. yours. You have allowed them to insult
me and mine, and you may thank your
-stare that discipline prevailed with my
|>eo]>le, though you have nothing of the

ager, coolly, “and it’s lucky for them

"I camj here to mquire for a missing
’man—a right even an Englishman can
not deny us on three prairies. We had

and thought, not knowing you for the

ask you, Do you know or have you heard
of a cavalry soldier being seen around

Perry was standing holding his hone

“Ob, papel deer father! I was afraid
of this! Let me take his head on my
arm, so," she hurriedly murmured; “and
would you step in the other room and
fetch me a little brandy? Tis there on
the sideboard."
Perry sprang to do her bidding, found
a heavy decanter on the great oaken
| buffet, half filled a glass, and brought it
nearly a dozen men. Some with some water back to the lounge,
wero gathering about Perry as She stretched forth her hand, and,

nearer the window than he had left him,
was the bent form ot the owner of Dun-

frankly that if any of

til released from the brawny hand, then
back it came as he settled again in the
saddle, his powerful thighs gripping like
a vise; at the same instant, and before
his assailant could duck to earth and slip
out of the way, he had wldpped out the
heavy Coifs revolver and brought its
butt with stunning crash down on the
ranchman's defenseless head.
There was instant rush and commotion.
In vain old Maitland feebly piped his
protests from the veranda; in vain the
overseer seized and lield back one or two
of the men and furiously called, off the
rest. Aided by the darkness which
veiled them, the others made a simulta
neous rush upon the young officer and
sdhght to drag him from his plunging
horse. Perry held his pistol high in air, !
threatened with the butt the nearest as- :
eailant, yet loath to use further force.
He was still in the broad glare of the
parlor lights—a conspicuous mark; eager
hands had grasped his bridle rein at the
▼ety bit, and he could not break away;
and then missiles began to fly about his
devoted head, and unless he opened fire
he was helpless. While two men firmly
held Nolan by the curb, half a dozen
others were hurling from the ambush of
darkness a scattering volley of wooden
billets and chunks of coal. He could
easily have shot down the men who held
him.
It was sore temptation, for already ho
had been struck and stung by unseen
projectiles; but just as the manager
sprang forward and with vigorous cuffs
induced the men to loose their hold on
Ids rein, there came three horsemen
charging full tilt back into the crowd,
scattering the assailants right and left;
and. this time unrebuked, Sergt. Leary
leaped from the saddle and, with a rage
of fierce delight, pitched headlong Into
battle with the biggest ranchman in his
way. And this was not all; for behind
them at a rapid trot came other troopers,
and in a moment the open space was
thronged with eager, wondering com
rades—full haff of Stryker’s company—
in whose overwhelming presence all
thought of promiscuous combat seemed
to leave the ranchmen. They slipped
away in the darkness, leaving to their
employers the embarrassment of ac
counting for their attack.
Leary was still'fumifig with wrath and
raging for further battle and shouting
into the darkness fierce invective at the
vanished head of his opponent. He
turned on the overseer himself, and but
for Perry’s stem and sadden prohibition
would have had a round with him, but
was forced to content himself with the
information conveyed to all within hear
ing that he’d “fight anrtin min” the
ranch contained if they'd only come out
where the lieutenant couldn’t stop him.
The troopers were making eager Inquiry
re to the cause of all the trouble, and,
fearing further difficulty, Perry prompt-
l l thoegtfrerttrtyto In.”
Bilenoe and discipline were restored in a
moment, and ae the platoon formed rank
he inquired of a sergeant how they came
to be there. The reply was that it had
grown so dark on the prairie that further
search seemed useless, Capt. Stryker and
most of the men had been drawn off by
signals from the Cheyennes up the val
ley towards the post, and these men who
had been beyond Dunraven on the north
ern prairie were coming back along the
Monee trail when they saw the lights
and heard voices over at the lower shore.
There they found Leary, who was excit
ed about something, and before they hao
time to ask he suddenly shouted, ‘ ‘They’re
killin' the lieutenant. Como on, boys!”
and galloped off with his own party; so
they followed. Perry quietly ordered
them to leave a corporal and four men
with him, and. told the senior sergeant
to march the others back to the post; he
would follow in five minutes. Then he
turned to the manager.
“You will have to put up with my
keeping some of my men with me, in
view of all the circumstances,” he said,
coldly. “But after this exhibition of
lawlessness on the part of your people I
do not propose to take any chances. I
want to eay to you that it is my belief
that some of those ruffians you employ
can tell what has become of our missing
man, and that you will do well to inves
tigate to-night As to you, Mr. Mait
land,” he said, turning to the old gentle
man, who had sunk into a low easy
chair, “much as I regret having dis
turbed your privacy and—that of the—
ladies of your household, you will ad
mit now that justice to my men and to
the service demands that I should report
my suspicions and my reception here to
the commanding officer at Fort Rossi-
ter."
There was no reply.
“I wish you good night, sir,” said
Perry; but his eyes wandered in to the
lighted parlor in search of a very differ-
.ent face and form—and still there was
no answer.
The manager came back upon the pi
azza and stopped rapidly towards them.
Perry quickly dismounted and bent
down over the crouching figure.
“Why, here!” he suddenly exclaimed,
“your employer is faint, or—something's
gone wrong.”
“Hush!” was the low spoken, hurried
answer of the Englishman. “Just bear
a hand, will you, and help me to lift
him to yonder sofa?”
Easily, between them, they bore the
slight, attenuated form of the old man
into tha lighted parlor. A deathly pallor
on his face. His eyea were

She dipped her slender white fingers
in the water and sprinkled the forehead
and eyelids of the prostrate man, A
feeble moan, followed by a deep drawn
sigh, was the only response. More brandy
poured into the gaping month seemed
only to strangle and distress him. No
sign of returning consciousness rewarded
her effort.
“If Mrs. Cowan would only comet
She has never failed us before; and we
so lean upon her at such a time.”
“Pray tell me which way to go. Sure
ly I can find her," urged Perry.
“Mr. Ewen must be searching for her
now, or he would have returned by this
time; and I dread being alone. I have
never been alone with my father when
ho has had-such a seizure."
Perry threw himself on his knees be
side her; marveling at the odd fate that
had so suddenly altered all the condi
tions of his unlooked for visit. He seized
one of the long, tremulous hands that
lay so nerveless on the couch, and began
rapid and vigorous chafing and slapping

she went into the robe making busi

to have to keep her girls up till 14

Monday morning here would come
the dross back again to be altered, and
a sassy message along with it about its

to cut it open and extract a handful and
set it ablaze under those broad and emi

was spared excuse for further experi
ment. He felt that life was returning
to the hand he was so energetically
grooming, and that feeble but emphatic
protest against such heroic treatment
was manifest.
“I think he’s coming to,” he said.
“He’s trying to pull away. Shall 1
keep on?”
“Yes, do! Anything lather than have
him lie in this death like swoon.”
Obediently he clung to his prize, rub
bing and chafing hard, despite increasing
tug and effort. Then came another fee
ble, petulant moan, and the hollow eyes
opened just as rapid foo-.falls were heard
on the veranda without and Mr. Ewen
rushed breathless and ruddy faced into
the room.
“Whereon earth can that woman have
gone?” he panted. “I cannot find her
anywhere. Is he better, Miss Gladys?”
“Reviving, I think, thanks to Mr.—
thanks to you," she said, turning her
eyes full upon the kneeling figure at her
side and sending Perry’s heart up into
his throat with delight at the gratitude
and kindness in her glance. She was
striving with one hand to unfasten the
scarf and collar at the old man’s neck,
but making little progress.
“Let mo help you,” eagerly said Perry.
“That, at least, is more In my line."
And somehow their fingers touched as
he twisted at the stubborn knot She
drew her hand away then, but it was
gently, not abruptly done, and he found
time to note that, too, and bless her for it
“I hate to seem ungracious, you know,
after all that’s happened," said Mr.
Ewen, “but I fear ’twill vex him awful
ly if he should find you in hero when he
comes to. He has had these attacks for
some time past, and I think he’s coming
through all right See!”
Old Maitland was certainly beginning
to open his eyes again and look vacantly
around him.
“Better leave him to Miss Gladys,"
said the overseer, touching the young
fellow on the shoulder. Perry looked
into her face to read her wishes before
he would obey. A flush was rising to
her cheek, a cloud settling about her
young eyes, but she turned, after a
quick glance at her father.
“I cannot thank you enough—now,"
she said, hesitatingly. “Perhaps Mr.
Ewen is right You—you deserve to be
told the story of his trouble, you have
been so kind. Some day you shall un
derstand—soon—and not tlunk unkindly
of us."
“Indeed I do not now,” he protested.
“And—whom are we to thank?—your
name, I mean?” she timidly asked.
“I am Mr. Perry, of the —th cavalry.
We have only come to Fort Rossiter this
month.”
“And I*am Miss Maitland. Some day
I can thank you." And she held forth
her long, slim hand. He took it very
reverently and bowed over it, courtier
like, longing to say something that might
fit the occasion; but before his scattered
senses could come to him there was
another quick step at the veranda, and a
voice that sounded strangely familiar
startled hio ears:
“Gladys! What has happened?” And
there, striding to the sofa with the steps
of one assured of welcome and thorough
ly at home in those strange precincts,
came Dr. Quin.

Say* He Choked a Bear to Death.
A man named Robert Brown, who
resides near Fox Hollow, is credited
with having killed a bear about five
miles from Edgeville, a Catskill
mountain hamlet The animal was
no larger than a Newfoundland dog,
but it was fat and plump. Brown
killed the bear, but he says he used
neither firearm nor missile of any
kind. He choked it to death with his
brawny right fist
The animal was feeding on some
berries when Brown first espied it

He squeezed mightily, and the bear
slowly but surely succumbed to the

hunter’s feet The carcass weighed
110 pounds Bear steaks were dis

and a score or more of early Catskill
mountain guests ate bear meat for the

Brown says he choked a wildcat to

who doubt this Samsonian story, but,

More than 2,000 years ago the Gaul*

tree with goat’s fat and making soap.
When Marius Claudius Marcell us was

Tha awful rain of burning ashes which
fell upon Pompeii in 79 buried (with
