ON ESCORT DUTY. BY CHARLES B. ‘LEW IS.

One cay a mail rider arrived at the fron- tier fort with such news that a sergeant and six menand an ambulance were or- dered out within an hour to escort and corvey the colonel’s wife down to the ruil- road. Fora year there had been no open act of hostility on the part of the Indians, but we had known for weeks that they were making ready for an ontbreak. It was queer enough that the colonel should come down tous in person as we stood be- side our saddled horses, knowing nothing of where we were to go or the object of the trip, but stranger yet that all ‘‘military etiquette’ should go out of his voice and demeanor as ho said:

‘*Men, lam going tosend my wifedown to the railroad to go east. You are to be her escort. It is a case of life or death, or she would not go. Iam afraid of the In- dians, and yet [think you will get through all righs. You are to make the best time possible. If attacked’’—

“We shall beat them off, sir,’’ replied Sergeant Gregg after waiting half a min- ute for the colonel te finish.

“TL hbopw youcan. I can only send the seven of you and a driver. Kight men ought to beat off 100 Indians, unless taken in ambush. Be watchful and prudent Sergeant, you are an old Indian fighter. You will know best what to do. You will get away by 1 o'clock. Travel as fast as you can and as late as you can, so as to finish the journey teumorrow. If yeu are attacked’’—

The colonel did not finish, He hwoked at each man and horse, inspected the am- balance and its pair of mules, and witha half nod to us he walked away. His wife must go, and, owing to details and sick- ness, no commissioned officer could be sent along. If the Indians were cut, an escort of “0 men would not be too large. Only eightiof us were fo go. Uad he fin- ished his sentence he would have said:

“If attacked and you are about to fall inte the hands of the red devils, <lo not let my wife be captured alive.”

We understood what he meant, though wesaid nothing to each other. No mat- ter what 4 or any one else feared, the lit- tle womaa was almost merry as she took her seat in the ambulance for the start. Nothing bad happened when we reached the valley. and as we looked around us and across it nothing could be seen ta alarm. We had just taken the ropes off the blocked wheels of the ambulance when the warwhocop of the bostile Indians sound- ed behind us, and we looked back uver our trail te catch sight of 100 mounted war- riors bearing down upon us. ‘They had picked eur trail and run us down.

‘**Mount! Now, straight across the val- ley! Fall in tothe rearof the ambulance. ’’

The voice of the old sergeant was hard and firm as he spoke. The curtains of the ambulance were up, and I glanced at the colonel’s wife. She had seen and heard. Her cheeks had paled, but she was remov- ing a repeating rifle from its hooks as we fell in behind the vehicle. It was a clear five mile dash. The prairie was as level ag a floor, and the Mules needed no urging after hearing the yells of the Indians. The soldicr driver wound the lines about his hands, Srace:} his feet, and away we went We had astart of half a mile. No man looked back. The pace was.a hot one, and there was cover five miles away. ‘The In- dians gained on us, but only inch by inch The mules took up such a gait that our horses had to lie right down to it to keep up. Not » word was spoken as we rode, but every ear listened to locate those com ing up behind us. If they came foo near, we must halt and open fire while the am- bulance pushed on. We had almost reached cover before turee or four rifle bullets cams singing over our heads. Three thinutes Jater we were among the trees and rocks, and the race was ended. As the ambu- lance halted ané we flung ourselves off eu: horses 1 looked back and saw a band of at Jeasi 70 Indians almost within rifle shot of us The road struck the hills ata gulch and they dared not foliow us into that. They gave vent to their disappoint- ment by shouts and yells and a waste of stomvunition, and fur afew mimuter they had no plan in view.

“Well, we beat them in a fair race,”’ said the colonel’s wife as she_descended from the am/)ulance with the Pifle in her hands. ‘Sergeant Gregg, what are you going to do now;"’

“Take cover, ma’am,’’ he replicd as he gave her the iailitary salute.

“Yes, of course,’’ she said as she Jooked about. ‘Did sou ever see a pair of mules run faster? I might have got ashot but for you men behind. There must be near 100 Indians ont there, but I guess we are safe enough new.”

She rattled om in that fashion while we were taking the mulesfrom the ambu- lance and unsaddling our horses, and it was a great weight off our minds to real- ize that she would not be a burden on our hands. It was idle to think of pursuing our journey in the darkness which would soon close down, and before morning there would be plenty of Indians on the trail beyond. We must take cover and hope to stand them off until help arrived or they grew discouraged at the siege. As we were consulting about location and de- fense the colonel’s wife came back to us from the mouth of the gulch and said:

“That's the place, over to the left, men. There's a spring on that hill, with a good growth to shelter all, and you can s¢e plenty of bowlders lying about.”

The sergeant had selected the same spot, and in the course of a quarter of an hour we were occupying it. We got the horses and mules up there, but the vehicle was left behind. It was a cone shaped bill amid balf a dozer such, but it commanded the others. It was covered with pines and cedars of srz2ll wrawth. and there was 4

epiendid spring right on the crest. If the Indians hal been fierce in their pursuit or crafty in their plans, we could not have reached it, again with them, and they were overcau- tious. They drew back into the valley to consult, thu; giving us a fair show, and we were snug enough when night fell and they made a dash for us, which we easily repulsed. Darkness found us occupying a circle about +0 feet across, with stones aud bowlders anc. trees fer shelter, and, though the situation was an anxious one and full af danger, a1 were in good spirits. We made a fire bsatween two rocks and cooked

sur Rtpper, and by the use of blankets we put wpa tent for the colonel’s wife, though against her protests. After the one single effort of the Indians, which was doubtless more of a reconnoissance than an attack, we were left in peace, though all through the night we heard sounds to prove they were taking up positions on all sides of us and making ready for the morrow.

None of us except the woman slept an bour all night long. We used levers to loosen bowlders and roll them into the circle, and with our Knives we cut off limbs and cut down small trees to further strengthen our fort. We got the horses into a sort of gully below us and made the position as safe as possible, and when day- light came there was nothing more to be done. We had above 600 rounds of am- munition, food for three days and water was at hand.

Daybreak found us ready for an attack. The colonel’s wife took her place, rifle in hand, between two men, and for half an hour we expected a sudden rush. At the end of that time a single warrior appeared to view at the baseof the hill and in bro- ken English demanded oursurrender. The sergeant answered him that we were ready for them, and at the same time fired a shot which rolled the redskin’s pony over. Three minutes later there was a ciycle of fire about us, Indians had mounted into trees to the right and leftof us to geta plunging fire, and from the tops of two lower hills they poured in their bullets at random. We simply crouched down be- hind the rocks and smoked our pipes, pleased that they were throwing away their cartridges. At the end of an hout they ceased firing. Nota man of us had been touched, but stray bullets had killed one of the mules and wounded two horses. There would be a rush now, and as we nade ready for it the colonel’s wife sank down beside me and quietly said:

‘I’ve tumbled over sage hens and jack rabbits, and I ought to be able t hit an Indian. Do I look frightened?"

““You are as white as a ghost, ma’am,”’ I answered as I turned to her.

‘*But I’m alt right,’’ she smilingly said, ‘‘and here they come.”’

So they did. With every painted war- rior yelling at the top of his veice the en- tire band charged us at once; taking in the whole circle. It was not until they got close up that we could see anything to shoot at, and every few secands the ser- geant cried out to us to hold our fire. It was over in aminute. They did not ex- pect to find ms intrenched, awd we knocked them over tike ninepins.

I believe we killed or wounded a full score, and it took the fightout of them se thoroughiry that not a rifle was fired at ug ayvain until afternoon. Then, soon after 2 o'clock and without the slightest warning, we were charged again, and for three minutes &% was a wild melee. We fired into their very faces as they sprang upon the defenses, and two warriors were shot down inside our fort, and both ‘by the colonel’s wife. It was their final and supreme ef- fort, and well it was for us that it was thus. When we had beaten thew off, Ser- geant Gregg and another man lay dead, four wen were badly wounded, and they had cut eur animals out of the gulch and run them off. Had the attack lasted a minute tonger or been, renewed two nen and a woman would alone have opposed it. And among the queer things of that last dash was the behavior of the colonel’'s wife. With my own eyes 1 sary her shoot down the two warriors who Jeaped the breast- work, and | believe she killed two or three more outside of it, and yet whea the attack had been repulsed the little woman fell over in a dead faint, and for ten min- utes we believed her dead from a ballet. When she came back ta life, she had a fit of weeping, and when that was over she turned to and att ready for another brush.

We put ip another night right there, not knowing that the Indians had drawn off, but soon after sunrise next morning were relieved of all anxicty by the appearanée of a scout, who passed om and sent us aid from the fort. ‘The colonel’s wife did not get down to the railroad, for that was the opening of a war which lasted for months, but there was no blame attached to any of the living who returned with her. On the contrary, the old wartinet of a colonel took each one of us by the hand, breaking over ‘‘military etiquette’’ ence more in bis life, and said:

‘*You dia well, my mam, and here’s my hand on it, and I won’t forget you!”

In connection with my visit to Canada as Pianist te Madame Albani, I bave had occasion to observe varioug in-kes of pianos, and have been much imprested with the advances whict are being made in the art of piano constrne~ tion in this young and fl.nrishing country, One of the most recent instruments to arrest my attention—and I might say ene of the best—is the well known “Bell” Piano. Its tone is admirable throughout, and the touch firm and 1esponsive— just what we musicians like—in fect, an excellent piano in every respect. The new Orchastral Attachment (which I understand can be obt:ined on “Bell” pianos only) is also an excellent feature, and one which will doubtless excite inter est with all classes. I do not hesitate to say that I consider ihe “Beli” p'anoa good, honest instrument, and so recom- mend it to any intending purchaser.
