•tli en Rome documents, olosly written in German, filed, docketed "and trimly wrr, .pod. and these, on© after another, the sheriff was searching through and swearing over because he couldn't understand tjiem, when again Morgan Interposed. "There's no more money there, Mr, Sheriff. Surely there's no reason for prying into the man's family affairs. When the arrest is made that will be time enough. You've got what money there is. Kindly give me a memorandum receipt for that and then seal the case up again. I say again, I'm ready to bet anything both Schultas and Schramm will be able to account for every moment and every dollar. All you have to do now is to get them, which your deputies can effect as soon as they reach the regiment."

And, seeing bow much Morgan seemed to take the matter to heart and that the officers, evidently agreed with him, the sheriff finally consented. "All right only we've got to take with us. We ought to hear through Pawnee from the parties sent to make the arrest by to-morrow night."

And hear they did, late the next evening. The party sen* out from Pawnee, rode north to the Mini Ska until they struck the cavalry trail near Painted Lodge, then followed the battalion on to camp. Schultz aud Schramm had neither been seen nor heard of by the battalion since they were sent bock from Bear Fork.

CHAPTER VIII

It was on Wednesday morning that Old Tintop marched away from Ransom. It was on Friday morning a dawn that the robbery occurred at Minden, Friday at guard-mounting that Schultz and Schramm reached the post, Friday noon that the new of the robbery came to Major Rhett, by which time the two couriers were again up and away, going, as we have seen, to have a quiet dinner by themselves in the town before starting to return to their detachment. Fanning, proprietor of the Empire stables, said they had unsaddled in his corral about half-past twelve, had told him to feed at four, as they purposed starting in the cool of the evening but they came back hurriedly just before three, saddled up, paid their reckoning and left. He knew Schultz well the other was a stranger, twenty years younger. Conway, keeper of the thriving restaurant, said the sergeant»and his friend came in about one. He knew Schultz well also, and Schultz ordered a good dinner to be served, with a bottle of Rhine wine, as soon as convenient. They were shown to the curtained alcove at the rear end of the house, farthest from the bur, and were waited upon by the Mongolian combination cook and waiter. Meantime, everybody coming into the bar was talking of the robbery, and finally about half-past two Conway went himself to the box occupied by the Germans, and told them the news. They got up at once, left their wine and coffee unfinished, and hastened out to get further particulars.

A few minutes after three they were seen riding briskly away on the Minden road, north of the river. It was Saturday morning when the sheriff's officers were sent in pursuit, one party going by rail to Pawnee, as has been said, then taking horses and riding over to the lower valley of the Ska the other followed the traiL On Sunday evening members of both parties met near Painted Lodge one coming back from the command to report that Schultz and Schramm were not there anil hadn't been there, the other riding eastward hard as they could to catch the malefactors whom they believed still ahead off them. Between the two the Germans had slipped out somewhere and gone none could say whither.

When Monday evening came there was news indeed. Tintop, by a forced march, Tiad jumped between the Sioux raiding parties and the agency,whither the renegades were now returning, and there had been a battle to the death. The fight had come off somewhere among the breaks on the north side of the Ska Sunday afternoon, ninety miles from the agency and a hundred from the nearest railway station. The news came from Indian sources entirely, but neither agent, interpreter, mission priests nor soldier guards could tell by what means they got the tidings,and no Indian or half-breed would tell. That, they believed it authentic was evident from the walls and lamentations of certain bereaved squaws. All the agent eon Id telegraph was that a collision had occurred and the losses were heavy on both sides. Tuesday morning dawned with no further particulars worthy of credence. But when No. 3 came in for breakfast at Butte, Col. Rand, inspector general of the department, stepped briskly off and Inquired for dispatches at the office of the hptel. Receiving several he waa shown at once to Maj. Graves' room.

With the paymaster at the moment were the sheriff and a braoe of reporters. Mr. Lacy waa away on some mysterious errand whioh was to result,

ortion of the stolen funds. He been gone since Sunday night. Rand thoughtfully read his telegrams bs he mounted the stairs. The bell^ boy's rap was answered by the sheriff, who was seated nearest the door, a prooeeding at whioh Graves reddened} it smacked of proprietorship, an indefinable air of authority and possession on the part of the sheriff having become more and more noticeable to the paymaster ever since their visit to Ransom. It galled him, yet was manifested In so intangible a way he knew cot how to recent it. The fact of the matter was. Graves didn't know how to do anything when Lacy wfea away. He had been in service only a year, despite his gray beard, and as the nominee of a man to whom neither executive nor senate could afford to say nay. Be simply leaned upon Lacy, who fosr his part was unquestionably one of the ablestand most scoqmplSshed assist-

ants a government offlaial oould expspt to have. "What do you want?" said the sheriff, gruffly, "Nobody rang." "Don't want nawthiuY' was the an* swer, as the boy's eyes wandered past the bulky form which was too familiar to be of Interest, and sought out the party who had been "held up.* "There's a feller here askln' tor Graves," W proceeded—the use of a handle to a man's name being regarded in many far western communities at that day as a virtual admission of personal inferiority. The paymaster heard his name and hastened to the door. Hand, swinging coolly along the corridor, reading his dispatches, glanced up, gave no sign of recognition of the sheriff, but held out his hand to Graves, whose face lighted with relief and hope at the sight of the staff officer. "Come right in, colonel," he exclaimed. "I'm mighty glad to see you. I've been hoping you'd come. My Godt did you ever hear of a more perfeot plant? Come in I want to talk with you-" "Had your breakfast?" asked Rand, briefly, and barely glancing at the other occupants. "Not yet. I—haven't much appetite to speak of, and these gentlemen came up to .see me the first thing. Let me present—"

"Well, come and take breakfast with me, then. I'm hungry as a wolf, and I can't talk until later," internosed Rand. "AH right, colonel I'll go with you In a minute. As I was saying, the sheriff and these gentlemen—" again indicating his friends. "Don't let me intrude now, Graves. I'll, order for two. Finish your business with your friends, and than join me as soon as you can." And, before the paymaster oould present the sheriff or introduce anybody else, Rand whirled about and went striding slowly down the corridor, engrossed apparently in another dispatch. "Give me the old room, If you can," said he at the office, "and order breakfast for two at once. Give us a little table by ourselves I'll be back here in ten minutes,"

The colonel was not in sight when Graves, still accompanied by the sheriff and correspondents, came down to the office. Nor did he reappear in the hall. Graves, nervous, anxious, and fretful, kept glancing at the main entrance, and finally led his faithful attendant? to the porch without. Here they oould command a view of the

street both ways. In fifteen minutes a waiter came out to say that Maj. Graves' breakfast was gettingcold, and the other gentleman was half through his'n wanted to know If the major's friends wouldn't excuse him long enough to let him come in and get a bite. The correspondents saw through the scheme and took it all laughingly. The sheriff said he'd go with him. Rand looked neither surprised nor annoyed when the big fellow came bulging in. He bowed civilly, but continued his engrossing work of tearing a territorial chicken to shreds, simply saying they must excuse his apparent haste, he had had no supper the night before and a long day's work was ahead and he waa ravenous. The sheriff grimly watched the well-known officer (every town and settlement in the department knew the general's righthand adviser, Rand), and twice essayed to open talk on the subject of the robbery. Rand listened with every man! testation of polite interest, but vouchsafed not a word of his own. Suddenly pushing back his chair and tossing his napkin thereon as he rose, he said: "Now excuse me, major finish your breakfast, and I'll write a letter or two. Join me in the office aa soon as you're ready."

Of course graves was ready in three minutes, and the sheriff also. Rand looked up, nodded cheerily, and went on with his letters. These he presently read over, folded, addressed, and stamped, with easy deliberation, and by this time the correspondents rejoined the major. Rand glanoed at his watch, picked up his letters and took them to the desk. Graves and party followed. Then out came Rand's big cigar case. "Smoke?" he said, tendering the bunch to the sheriff, who pulled ana forth in his pudgy fingers while Grave# was presenting Messrs. So-and-So, of such and such papers, to both of whom Band extended oordial greeting and his cigar case, then took Graves by the arm, nodded cheerily a good-day to tha party, and popped the paymaster through aside door. For an instant* only, they were "too surprised to ad. Then, with a "well, I'll be the sheriff jumped to the door. There at the side entrance stood Fanning's beat bay team and open buggy.

orderly, and the two staff officers were welcomed by Morgan and regaled with lunch. Rand swore the canned lobster and oommiBsary crackers and chocs®, washed down with Budweiscr, the most delicious things ha ever tasted, and was full of sympathy with Morgan in his anxiety about Connie, "Herd's what you've got to do, old fellow," said he. "You must, let that brave little woman come and pay us a visit, Send Lot and Willy, too, I've got a great big bouse, and my wife will be only too glad to hear ohU« voices in It again. I like Connie She's a brick, I'll send passes for tha whole party, and the change will do her good. Now, speaking about Schramm had he ever told «er about his antecedents?"

No, Morgan knew he hadn't. So later Rand went down to see Mrs. Hinkel, and thus it happened that he was still at the fort when along about three p. m. the wires began to warm up with other and graver matter. Rand was wanted at the instrument if by chance he was still at the fort, for it waa necessary that he should be plaoed in immediate communication with the general, who was at department headquarters, and presently tho soldier operator's cheek began to pale, as he ohecked off and jotted down, name after name, the list of tho killed and wounded in Tintop's daring fight against the combined war parties of the reservations. The erallant old dra" goon himself was safe, but Morgans captaincy had come. The flag went down to half-staff unrebuked by the lonely offloer in command, for brave Manning, his long-time troop-leader and friend, had fallen fighting hard. The list of the dead, though large, was exoeeded by that of the wounded, and supplemented by that of a party of whose fate no man oould hazard more than mere conjecture. In addition to the uames of Schultz and Schramm were those of ten other troopers reported among the missing. It was tha roster of a little detachment ssnt out on the trail of alleged road agents or robbers. They had started only a few hours beforq the fight, and were under the leadership of Lieut. Thornton, [TO BE CONTINUED.]

TABMS AND CHAIRS,

DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING THESE AT HOME.

A Style That Alttordl Unlimited PoMlblU(lei to Anmtuur Furniture Walter#—Retail* Oainel With Good Ta*te and Kimble Finger*.

Tho style in furniture known as Henri II presents unlimited possibilities to the home furniture fabricator. The frame or foundation is usually made of soma inferior and inexpensive wood and is then entirely clothed with a suitable textile fabrio. JPluah and velour are the materials most in favor for such a purpose, and these again may be beautified by the addition of fancy needlework, painting or other methods of ornamentation.

For bedrooms and bondoirs cretonne is to be oommended, giving a wealth of color for the smallest monetary expenditnra One who has never soon a room "done in cretonne" can have but a faint conception of its artistio possibilities. The price of cretonne ranges from 15 cents to $3 a yard, the best being of a rep and sateen texture. There are other materials in addition to thosetiesignated that may be utilized with success, not-

A HOMEMADE TABLE.

ably china silk, silk tapestry, felt and serge, but the plush and cretonne will be found the most satisfactory.

A tablo should be from 24 to 29 inches high and not over 80 inches in length, 18 by 24 inches being a very convenient size. Let the top projeot two or three inches all around and be seven-eighths of an inoh in thiokness. Have the material drawn tightly around the legs, the seams being tacked neatly on the insida The shelf and top should be slightly padded with a thickness or two of canton flannel before putting on the cloth. Finish off the edge with brass headed nails, adding the fringe as shown. The legs may be studded with fancy shaped brass nails placed at intervals. The legs may be square, round or octagonal, as one may elect.

There are many old tables that may be given anew lease of usefulness by fixing up in the manner here described or by painting or bronzing the legs and covering the top and frame with some pretty, bright looking textile. Small tables particularly present excellent opportunities for experiments in this direction. It matters but little what the shape may be or how discouraging the condition, wonders can be worked with paint, bronze and upholstery stuffs in the nimble fingers of one possessing a fair degree of good taste and discrimination in the choice of color

Very pretty odd chairs can be fashioned in like manner, silk plush being the best material with which to cover them. This may be plain or embroidered. One of the most effective methods is to upholster in one color, using another color in "applique" work to form the design, then outlining with gold bullion and silver thread.

A dainty reception chair has a oover of old rose silk plush. The ornamentation being formed of plush of pale green shades, further accentuated by outlining with small silver cord, silver nails were used and green and silver fringe. Decorator and Furnisher, authority for this helpful information, suggests, however, that, as a rule, it is not advisable to seleot such delioate coloring for ordinary

use, but any of the darker shades will bo found to look equally aa well, omitting, if one desires, the silver trimmingB and substituting gold and silk.

THE NEW "CONSUMPTION CURE."

jSomedftha Huli!* of the Rlaclt ForrntTreatuient Which Altraetiinr Attention. At a new 'consumption core" in the Black Forest the principle of the treatment, says a Berlin correspondent, is to build up a system stff trong that it will refuse lodgment to the insistent tubercle bacilli. To eat plentifully, to liveday aud night in fresh air and to rest properly are the chief tenets of tho method, Tho food is prepared by weight, and, nolens volens, it must be eaten. Damp, rainy days keep no patient indoors, find rainy, damp nights see uc veutiiatiug windows shut. Evidently the herr doctor believes damp air is better thau poisoned air, and it is poisoned air that the weakened lungs cannot stand,

Ono feature of the treatment is to rest by lying down one hour before meals. This is insisted upon. This accords with at least onejeminent practitioner in this country, who in his dietary for use in oases of incipient consumption insists upon 20 minutes' rest upon the bed before all meals except breakfast

In the German cure the greatest attention is paid to the care of the sputum. Paper handkerchiefs aro used, and the patients are taught that it is not alone infection to others that is guarded against in their absolute cleanliness, but reinfection to themselves—an obviously potent ally in securing the proper .care,
