PAINTED PIRAT^r OF THfe PLAINS. SR^CtALLf^ET FOR tVBfllNQ e^PRkSS. :'t'. BeneCa<Je indians had made so much trouble at WbiteUorse Station that Whipsaw, the Btation-keeber, and Little Kyuse. the Pawnee hoy whom he had adopted, determined to make it hot for the next gany that called. White Horse' was ,the wildest, most dangerous. and desolate station on the pony express line between St. Joe and Sacramento. The place had been cleaned out on an average of once a moath since its establishment, and the express company that owned the business was growing weary of finding horses and feed for all the IAwles8 bands in Wyoming and surrounding jerritcrieft. They hAd aaked Whipsaw what he required k 'or the better protection of the station, and j the pchies galloVd back to Sacramento with his answer;— "A jug of squirrA whisky, six six-shooters, a whole lot of firecracBprs. and a man." The man with the\supphes came up from Califcrnia a lew days later, and Whipsaw began to build his traps. He gave two of the SiÄ-shooters to the new man, lifted a log with tint help of his com- panicns, and fixed the other four firmly in a crack, all pointing into the cabin and toward the door. These instruments of death were so grcuped that Little Kyuse, lying on the dirt roof of the lean-to, could work them. A chink waa knocked out, and through this opening the boy. was expected to feed the fireworks.when the house was full of Indians. They made the "cat hole" large enough for Little Kyuse, and in that way he could slip from the cabin to the stable, and so to the root of the shed. When the boy had played with his battery and had mastered the mystery of the fire- crackers, Whipsaw expressed the belief that the thing would be a success. Little Kyuse grinned with savage delight as he listened to the din of the revolvers and the noise of the crackers. Almost 100 yards from the cabin door, and some 40 or 50 yards apart, they dug three pits, long enough for a man to lie down in. These pits were covered over with stout willows and earth, save a space at the end next to the house, which was covered with a trap door, hung to one of the windows by strong leather straps. It was summer time, and Whipsaw, the extra man and the rider, who was lying over there, now took their blankets and slept in the pits. Little Kyuse. the seven-year-old Pawnee, slept in the cabin, for no Indian could come near him without his knowledge of the presence of the stranger. They had been sleeping out for more than a month, and the pony express rider had begun to complain, when the west-bound rider, due at White Horse at midnight, failed to arrive. At one o'clock Little Kyuse crept out to where Whipsaw slept and whispered, Heap long time—me no see 'em Kyuse." What you see?" Me see 'em heap gun—far away, boom, boom, boom," said the boy. Whipsaw ordered the boy to creep to the other pits, warn the men, and get back to his place. The jug of bug juice," as he called it. Whip- saw had kept constantly just inside the open door of the cabin. Presently an Indian came crouching under ths eaxe of the shed. In a little while the Indian worked his way to the cabin door, found the jug, smelled it. took a drink, and then darted away as noiselessly as a cat. It was some time before a sound was heard, for the band of renegades would not stir until they had drained the two-gallon jug. Usually these bands were small—from six to a dozen men—but this gang had 50 or 40 desperate Indians in it. The first intimation Little Kyuse had of the return of the band was the patter of feet. like the noise of a band of boys running barefoot down a dusty lane, and then he saw the dark forms of the Indians ccming for the cabin like a swarm of grass- hoppers. They believed that all the people of the station were in the house asleep, and would be caught like rats in a trap. Outside the door they paused for an instant, drew their hatchets, and then rushed into the cahin. As soon as he heard their shuffling feet upon the floor, Little Kyuse working his battery. The Indians without rushed to the rescue of their comrades within, who, being unable to find the door, endeavoured to fly from a house whose very walls breathed thunder and light- ning. The moment he had emptied one chamber of each of the pistols the Indian boy lighted a few hundred firecrackers and shoved them through the crack, rolled loosely in a newspaper, so as to hide the fire. When these began to explode amid the savages, the boy began his work of emptying the revolvers that were fixed fast in the wall. To add to the confusion the men in the pits now put up their heads and each emptied a pair of revolvers into the struggling, seething band of savages. Those rushing in collided with those coming out. In the blinding smpke the drunken savages began firing their rifles wildly or hacked one another to death in the dark- less of the place. Having re-loaded their six-shooters, to have handy fcr close fighting, the men in the pits now began to use their rifles on the wild rabbit of redskins, who were struggling at the door of the cabin. The Indians, with a wild yell of despair, turned to fly. Catching glimpses of the glare of the guns that were aimed at them from the pits, the savages now rushed toward those yellow flames. Instantly the men dropped back, like so many prairie dogs, pulled the doors 'down, and were gone. Being unable to compete with an enemy that could luake itself visible or invisible at will- that could come and go like the spirits of the dead-the Indians, with another wild, despairing cry, fled from the field, leaving the dead to the mercies of the mysterious foe.

A certain eminent lexicographer had a strong prejudice against the interjection "O," no matter how it was spelt, "Oh" or O," and he tried in vain to banish it from the language. "It was absurd," said the learned doctor, "to imagine that this was a natural exclamation signifying pain. People might just as well cry 'P' or 'Q.' To prove his theory the doctor had accustomed himself to cry "Q" at any un- pleasant shock. Seeking to demonstrate this to a friend, he pinched himself in a miserly way, accompanying each pinch with the ejacu- lation, "Q! Q'" But the friend gave him a nip unexpectedly on a far more generous scale, a pinch that was almost cruel in its intensity. An(t then the astonished and agoniscd lexico- grapher yelled "Oh!" in a manner that upset his theory for ever and aye.
