As his native name is the Sfoux for "soldier," it is easily seen why he was so named; but he had stil}l another naome, which the Indians had given him before hbis entering military cirâ€" cles, and that, translated into English, was the "grasswalker," or "trailer," from his absolutely marvelous wbil‘r to find the trail of anything that left even the slightest trace on the ground as it passed over it. His servicesâ€"for be had been emâ€" ployed as a scout for some yearsâ€"had been very valuable to the government, and, in recoguition of this fact, the oflâ€" cer in command had secured authority frowm the war department to promote him to the rank of sergeaut; conseâ€" uently be went around in a neat uniâ€" form with chevrons .and stripes, very imuch impressed with bis own impor tance, which be considered second only to that of the commanding ofear; and he took care that every one else also should respect his rank and dignity. A desperate soldier named Brice broke jail one night and was pursued the following morning. The trail led to the west for a trifle over a mile; then it turned north for a quarter of x mile and we followed until weâ€" came to a tree at the edge of a slough to the northwest of the fort, called the "garâ€" den bar slough." Here Arkichits pointâ€" ed under the tree and said Brice bad lain down there to rest. The trail here led into the slough. A Dakota "slough" is a shallow lake, the water of which is from siz inches to three feet deep, with a soft, muddy bottom, but pot generally miry. The center of the slough is usually free from grasses or weeds, but along the edges, from 20 to 60 yards out, long tule grass grows. ‘This particular slough was a mile long and varied from an eighth to a quarter of a mile in width, and there was a foot of water covering as much soft mud. During the night the wind had roiled the water up considerably. It seemed hardly possible to track anyâ€" thing through it, except where the tule had been broken down. Where that was the case, even I could follow the trail; on reaching open water, bowever, the case was different. Once I thought Arkichita was baffied, after all; he had come to a dead standâ€" still near the tule. Then an insptration struck me; perbaps by a cirele 1 could find the trail. Happy thought! J put it into immediate execution and found one. Rather elated at my success, 1 called, "Come quick; henp traill‘ He came over, took one look; just the sugâ€" gestion of a smile played on bis face as he said, "Cow." The eastern end of the slough reached to a point near the fort not more than 150 yards from & brickyard, on which was a kiln that bad been built during the summer. The kiln was now ready for firing. A 1 did no more trailing, but wnderâ€" stood what was bothering bim, The post herd also had ‘waded through here since Brice‘s escape, and it took all the scout‘s endless patience and wonderful eyesight to keep the trail where the cattle had passed through it. The grass stem was of no use here. We Had passed over half the slough in this circuitous route, when suddenâ€" ly Arkichita started, straight as the erow files, for the edge of the alough near the brickkiln. Was he following the trail? scarcely discernible footprint in the mud and water right at the edge of the slough, apparently the last step the deâ€" gerter had taken before reaching hard ground. This footprint showed the toes, so the deserter was now barefooted. Aunother thing about this print was its direction; it stood at right angles to the line previously followed. Either the _ Ou he went until he came to the shore nearest the kiln; here he stopped, evidently bothered again. Tbefl was & Arkichita went down on his knees and Iinspected the grass, biade by biade. 1 kept a respectful distance at one side, astonisbed at the turn the affair had taken. Now, inch by inch, on his knees, he wrenched the secret from the apparently unwilling surface of the earth. Eighty yards from the kiln, be looked up and glanced at it. Thesane idea evidently instantly occurâ€" red to both of us. The trail was leadâ€" Ing to the kiln! Then be rose, and, bending over, slowly advanced to the edge of the brickyard. After reaching the yard, Arkichita walked slowly around the outer edge of it, examining the ground with the utmost care, untii he came to the point from which be started, when he said, "Trail come inâ€"no go out; man in there," pointing to the kiln. And circumstances proved him to be right, though it was 36 hours before the fugitive was located in the kiln and captured.â€"Lieutenant W. O. Bennett, V. 8.

A Great Many Eyes Ruined by Atâ€" tempts at Economy. Looking back now to the time when the itinerant quack doctor and the wandering dentist spread misery and destruction over the land, we wonder at the ignorance or carelessness of our fathers in trusting their teeth or even their lives to hands so untrustworthy. A very similar thing is done today by people who buy spectacles or eyeglass es from men who sell them on the streets or have their eyes fitted by opâ€" ticlans who bave no qualifications for doing the work. . A surprising number of people buy their glaases from venders on the streets. They get glasses for 50 cents which seem to them just as good as a pair they would pay $5 for having made on an oculist‘s prescription, and they think they have saved money. Glasses acquired in all sorts of ways by jnberitance or exchange from a friend or even glasses found on the streets are used to the detriment, even to the destruction, of the wearer‘s sight. "People seem to think glasses are like clothes," said an old oculist the other day, "and if they are fairly comâ€" fortable and look well they ask no further questions." One Child For Each Hour. Herry Bloch, a business man of Brooklyn, cats breakfast at balf past Rosie, goes to breakfast at 15 minutes to Gabriel and retires for the night at Achilles. Mr. Bloch has 12 children, D girls and 3 boys. He is fond of his family and in order that be might al ways have them in mind had a watch made with the miniature photograph of one of the children in the place of each of the hours on its dial. Thus where the figure 7 would be on an orâ€" dinary watch dial the pretty face of his daughter Rosie looks out. The face of the boy Gabriel represents 1 o‘clock, that of Freda 2 o‘clock and so on around the dial. At his home Mr. Bloch has a large clock, on the dial of which the figures are represented in the same way. DANGER IN CHEAP GLASSES. Another way in which people damâ€" age their eyes is through carelessness in trying to remove dust or cinders from them. They try themselves, & friend tries a rub, the nearest drug store and the nearest opticlan nre callâ€" ed on, all before an oculist is consultâ€" ed. The result is that the eycball is often badly rubbed and seraped. and in many instances permanent injury is done The Dencon and the Prayer. "I didn‘t like your prayer very much this morning," said a fauit finding deaâ€" eon to his minister. "What was wrong with It?"

"Counterfelt money ‘shovers‘ form a distinet class of criminals," said an old fedecral officer. ‘"They have nothing to do with making the ‘queer,‘ but simply put it in circulation. They go about their work very systematically and reâ€" duce the chances of detection to a miniâ€" mum. "A woman shover, for example, starts out to unload on the big retail stores. Her dress is quiet, but elegant. and she has the surface appearance of a refined lady. In her hand is a pocketâ€" book containing one bad bill and a number of good ones. She goes into a store, makes some trifling purchases, tenders the counterfeit and pockets the change. As she passes out she brushâ€" es against a boy, who slips her anothâ€" er queer bill and then drops back a few paces in the crowd. "In that way she makes the rounds, and if she understands ber business she can get rid of an astonishing numâ€" ber of counterfeits in the course of a few liours. If the bill she offers is deâ€" tected on the spot, she never attempts any argument. ‘Dear me" she exâ€" claims. ‘I wonder if I bave any more of the borrid things?" And thereupon she empties her pocketbook on the counter and asks the clerk to examine the money and see whether it is all right. ‘"In 99 cases out of 100 that disarms suspicion at once. If she bhappens to be arrested, only one bill is found in her possession, and there is nothing to disprove her assertion that she receivâ€" ed it somewhere in change. Meanwhile the boy who carries the roll quietly disappears. Often be sells newspapers as a blind. ‘Have a paper, miss? he will cry and hands the sbhover a bill mnder the folded sheet.
