With a swlns? of th? hand and a hoarse shout of ' niajuttches!"' he was boyond them, bonding low over his saddle pomnifi. his eyes on the dist cloud of the inorins column. The extended line of horsemen, riding in columns of four, came to a sudden halt, and he raced on. A little squad of officers, several of their number dismounted, were out in front, stnad ins grouped Just beyond the summit of a slight elevation, apparently looktag off into the valley through soma rieft in the bluff beyond. Standiug among these, Hampton jierceive! the long fair hair, and the erect llsuro clad in the well-known frontier costume, of the man ho sought th prtmd, dashing leader of lisht carairy, that beau ideal of the sabreur.

That looks Mke a big village down yonder, but I have led the dandy Seventh into others just as large." He stopped speaking, and glanced up inquiringly into tho faco of the silent messenger, apparently mlstak. lag him for one of his own mon. "Where did you get this?" "Cheyenne, sir." "What! Do you moan to say you brought It through from thore?" "Silent Murphy carried It as far as the Powder river. He wont crazy there, and I was compolled to strap him. I brought It the rest of the way."

"although I cnn hardly offer you a fitting roward." uiero is little l desire, ne re plied, slowly, "and that is to ho per mltted to ride once more Into notion in the ranks of tho Sovonth." The truo-heartod. Impulsive manly soldier fronting him reddened to the roots of his fair hair, his prom eyes softening. "Spoken like a true soldior," ho ex claimed, a new warmth In his voice "You shall have your wish. Take po sition in Calhoun's troop yonder." Hampton turned quietly away, lend las his horse, yet had scarcely ad vanced three yards before Custer halted hint. "I shall be pleased to talk with you again after the fight." he said, briefly as though half doubting the propriety of such words. The other bowed, his faco Instantly brightening. "1 thank you sincerely The perplexed commander stood motionless, gating after the receding figure, his face grown grave and thoughtful. Then he turned to the wondering adjutant btside him. oi never knew him, did you. Cook?" "I think not. sir; who Is he?" "Capt Nolan you have heard the story." "Is that so?" he exclaimed. In ovi dent surprise. "He has a manly fare.' "Ay. and he wns as lino a sdldler as ever fought under a Hag." declared Custer, frankly. "Poor devil.

"They may have gone up tho river to Inter cept Reno's advance, and If so. this to your commands, gontlomen, and with tho order of march seo personally that your mon move quietly. We must strike quick and hard, driving the wedge homo with a single blow. That will bo all at present, gentlemen; you will require no further Instructions until wo doploy. Capt. Calhoun, Just a word." Tho captain thus directly addressed, a handsome, stalwart man of middle age, reined in his homo and waited. "Captain, tho mossengor who has Just btought us dispatches from Cheyenne Is a civilian, but has requested permission to have a sharo in this coming fight. I have nsslgnod him to your troop." Calhoun bowed. "I thought to spare you. any possible embarrassment by saying thnt tho man Is not entirely unknown to you." "May I ask his name?" "Robert Nolan." The strong, llon-llko face flushed under Its tan. thon quickly i;t up with a imlle. "I thank you. Ciut. Nolan will not suffer at my hands.'' Ho rode strnight toward his troop, his cyos searching tho ranks until they rested upon tho nvortod fnoo of Hampton. Ho pressed forward, nnd leaned from the saddle, extondlng a Ktuiniibiou Hand.

Thon tho volco of command sounded out In front; Calhoun gontly withdrew his hand from tho othor's grasp, und with bowed head rodo slowly to tho front of his troops. In columns of four, Klient, with not a cantoon rattling, with scabbards thrust under their stirrup leathers, oaoh man sitting In his saddlo like a statue, ready carbine Hung forward ucrosn tho pommel, those sunburnt troopers moved steadily down tho broad couleu. Tho troopers riding at ithor sldo of Hampton wondering still at their captain's peculiar words and actions, glanced curiously at tho new comrade, marveling at his tightly pressed lips, his inolstoned oyes. Yet In all tho glorious column, no heart Hghtor than his, or happier, pressed forward to moot a warrior's death. CHAPTER XXXIV. The Last Stand. It was shortly after two o'clock In tho afternoon when that compnet column of cavalrymen moved sllontly forward down tho concoaling couleo luwaru ino moro open ground bevond. Custor's plan was surprise, the sudden from "thoearbv'lhnn.oV rrom tho rear by tho quick charge of his horsemen. From man to man tho whlsporcd purposo travolled down tho ranks, the ensor troopers greeting the welcome mossage with kindling eyes. It was tho old way of tho Seventh. and they knew It well. With na i.ii. . tt i j t ith Custer riding at tho head of i , ... . .. ttiv wiuiiiu, uuu tuny n nine io tne rear of tho advance scouts, his adjut ant Cook, together with a volunteer aide, beside him. the five dopleted troops filed resolutely forward, dream ing not of possible dofoat. Suddenly distant shots wero heard far off to their left and rear, nnd deepening into a rumble, evidencing a warm engagement. Tho interested troonors lifted their hoads. listening intently, while eager whispers ran from man to mao along the closed files. "Mono Is going In, boya; It will bi our turn next." "Close up! Quiet there. lads. quiet," officer after ofiicor passed the word of command. Yet thera wero those among them who felt a strange droad that firing sounded so far up tho stream from whore Reno should have boon by that time. Still It might be that those overhanging bluffs would muffle and dollect the reports. All about them hovered death In dreadful gulso. None among them saw those cruel, spying eyes watching from distnnt ridges. peering at thorn from concealed ra vines; nono marked the rapidly massing hordes, hideous In war-nalnt. crowdod Into near-by coulees anil beilnd protecting hills It burst upon them with wild yells. Tho gloomy ridgos blazed into their startled faces, the dark ravinos hurled at them skurrylng horsemen, while-. wherever their oyes turned, they be hold savage forms leaping forth from hill and coulee, gulch and rock shad ow. Horses loll, or ran about neichng; mon flung up their hands and died In that first awful minute of consternation, and tho little column Boemcd to shrivel away as If consumed by tho flame which struck It, front and Hank and rear. It was as if those men had ridden Into the mouth of hell. Yet it was scarcoly for moro thnn a minute. Mon trained, stronc. clear of brain, were in those stricken linosmen who had seen Indian battle be fore. The recoil came, swift as had boon tho surprise. Voice after voice rang out old familiar orders, steady ing instantly the startled nerves; dlaclpllno conquered disorder, and the shattered colu:nn rolled out. as If by magic, Into the somblnnco of a battle line. It was magnificently done. Custer nnd hlB troop commanders brought thuir sorely smitten men Into a position of defense, oven hurled them cheering forward in short, swirt charges, so ns to clear tho front and gain room In which to doploy. Out of confusion emerged discipline, confidence, esprit do corps. Safe beyond tho range of the troopers' light carbines, the Indians, with their heavier rifles, kopt hurling a constant storm of load, hugging tho gulllos. and spreading out until thore was no :)ar toward which tho harassed cavalrymen could turn for safety. Ono by ono, continually under a heavy fire, tho scattered troops wore formed Into something moro nearly resembling n battlo lino -Calhoun on tho left, then Keogh, Smith nnd Yntes, with Tom Custor holding tho oxtromo right Thus thoy waited grimiy for tho noxt assault.
