The chiefs and the greater braves rushed fb Quick council and the lesser warriors. the squaws and the children stood Waiting with dogged patience in the village streets. Tin council was over. An old chief shouted a word of command that was caught up and passed quickly to the farthest outlying tepee. An Briny might have learned a lesson from that which followed the short, sharp older. Mounted men shot out from the village and as fast as ponies, pressed to their utmost, could accomplish the distances every outlying ridge was topped with the c of rider und horse, silhouetted against the morning sky. Every rentlnel warrior had his eyes on the camps or the whltn soldiery from the east of t lie agency, ,ay the Sixth cavalry, there came a trumpetwll(.n cull that welled and swelled and ended In one note that sang in and nut of the valleys andringing then subdued to softness, floated on to be lost in the prairie wilderness beyond. The mot ion less ligure of one of the sentinels was moved to Instant life. A hilltop signal ran from ridge to ridge.

The pony herds of the Sioux were grazing on the hills to the west, unrestrained or their freedom by lariat or herdsman. In uiiiuher they nearly equaled the people of the village, a few ponies for emergency use only having been kept within the camp. I'pon the ponies Ip the village Jumped waiting warriors, who broke out of the shelter of the tepees for the hills where the herds were foraging on the bunch grass. It seemed lint a passing memeut before cvei.v pony In that great glazing herd was for the village. The animals were as obedient to the word of command ns Is a brave to the word of his chief. During the gathering of the muies the wicueii of the enmp had slung their papooses to their backs, had collected the camp utensils and were standing ready to strike the tepees, while the braves, blanketed nud with rifles in their hands, bad thrown themselves between the village and the camps of (he soldiers of (leu.

The Seventh cavalry was there, two of its troops, H und K, having barely enough uieu lft In the ranks to form a platoon. Those two troops had borne the brunt of the lighting at Wounded Knee a month before when )0 men of the Seventh fell killed or wounded before the bullets of the SIo ix.

The column tiled past, broke into regiments, then lino troops and companies, und the word or dismissal wa given. The Indian sentinels on the ridges, signaled the camp in the valley. In another minute then was a s' a mpede, hut It was only that of the thousand 4 of Sioux ponies turned loose ami eager to get back to thrir breakfast of bunch grim on the prairie. Two Strike, the Sioux, watched th rvhw that day. Old Two Strike was one or the warriors who went out with a following of braves on the warpath the month previous. Two Strike wore no ghost shirt, lie was above such superstition, even though he took no pains to urge his comrades to fellow his shirtless example. Two Strike was glad of the craze that had brought war, for he hated the white harder than he hated anything on earth except the Pawnees, the hereditary enemy of his people. Two Strike knew in his soul that the liulTulo were not coming bark as the medicine men had declared, and that no Messiah was to be raised to lead his people against the pale face to wipe them from oft the face of the continent. Wlrnt he did know waa that he was to have one more chance to strike at the eneruachcrs on the Innda of his people be . sus--plclu- snow-covere- d fore the enfeeblements of old age took the strength from his arm. Two Strike was a great warrior. He had fought on many a field and lie had won his name from the overcoming of two warrior foes who had attacked him when he' was alone on the prairie. Single handed he hai fought and killed them and "Two Strike" he had been from that day. He was the leader in the last battle which took place between hostile bands of aavagea on the plalna of America. For years without number the two nations. the Sioux and the Puwnees, had hated each other. In one of Cooper'a novels Hard Ilenrt, a Pawnee, taunts s Sioux thus: Sinre waters ran and trees grew, the Sioux has found the Pawnee on his The light In which Two Strike was warpath." the leader of the Sioux was fought against Hie Pawnees on the banks of a little stream known as The Frenchman," in Nebraska I11 the year 1ST4. In the valley of the Platte river the buffalo wpre plenty, blit the Pawnees had snld that the Sioux should rot hunt there they defied them to come. ."The Pawnee dogs ealled the Sioux womand old Two Strike en," said the story-telle- r sneered. It was when the grass was at Hr best, that the Sioux started for the country of (he Pawnee. The teller of the tale made no secret of the intention of the Sioux to exterminate the Pawnees, sparing neither women nor children if the chance for (heir killing presented ItseU. Two Strike and his Sioux reached the edge of the buffalo country and there they waited opportunity. They (lid not have to wait long. Runner told them that the Pawnees in full strength had started on n great hunting expedition led by Sky (hltf. a noted warrior. When the mime of Sky t'hief fell from the lips of the Interpreter old Twc Strike stnlled and closed his fist. The Sioux left their encampment and struck into the heart of the hunting country. There a scout told their, that the enemy was encamped in a prairie gulch and that their women mid children were with them to care for the hides and for the drying of the meat of the buffalo. Two Strike led his men by a wav around." as the interpreter put it, coming Anally to a point less ilian half a sun's distance front the camp in small herd of bufthe valley. The Sioux struck falo nnd they goaded the auimala before them right up to the mouth of the gulch. When .he buffalo were bended straight b.to the valley the Sioux pricked the hindmost with arrows and the herd went headlong toward ti e enrnmpment of the Pawnees, who "were foolish men" nnd did not watch for an enemy. When the Pawnees saw the buffalo they mounted their poults und followed them out through the far end of the valley to the level plain, leaving the women and children behind. Then the Sioux went In to the slaughter, sparing neither infancy nor age. mid they hud almost ended the killing when the Pawnee braves returned. Then followed the last great battle which has been fought on the plains between tribes of red lr. the tepee at Pine Ridge men. The story-telle- r did not say so, but it Is known from the account of a white man, Adahel Kills, who knew the circumstances, that the Puwnees fought that day as they had always fought, bravely and to the death. Sky Chief, the rawnee. rode out in front of his men, shook his hand and railed out that Two Strike, the Dakota, was a coward. Then Two Strike called bark that the Pnv.nre was a (log's whelp and he rode out, armed with his knife, which waa the only weapon Sky Chief held. The two leaders met and fought. They dismounted. turned their ponies loose and grappled. The story-telle- r lingered not on the details of the light. He said simply, tho Pawnees neard Sky Chief's death cry. The tale ended. Two Strike rose, wared his right arm, drove hla baud downward and then upwnrd, and smiled. They Were Good Mothers. Klizabeth Cady Stauton is quoted as saying that a woman's first duty is to develop all her powers and possiblli-tfea- , that she may better guide and serve the next generation. Mrs. Stanton raised seven uncommonly healthy and handsome children, says an admirer of hers, and the children of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe testify to the virtues of the noted woman as a mother.
