PAINT™ PIKATES OF PLAINS. | SPECIALLY SET FOR J"e EVENING EXPRESS. Renegade Indians had nnvjeso mjj<jMtrouble at V hite Horse Station that \Vliipsaw, the rtaticm-keeper, and Little Kyuse, the Pawnee boy whom he had adopted, determined to make it hot for the next gang that culled. White Horse xv.-k,; the wildest, most dangerous, and desolate station on the pony express line between St. Joe and Sacramento. The plafe had been cleaned out «n an average of once a month since its establishment, and the express company that owned the business was growing wenry of finding horses and feed for all the lawless bands in Wyoming and surrounding territories. They had asked Whipsaw what he retiuired for the better protection of the station, and I the ponies galloped back to SacAmento with bis answer:— "A jus of'squirrel whiskv, six sixXliootets, a whole lot of firecrackers, and a manV The man with the supplies t-ame up from California a few days later, and Whipsaw began to build his traps.

When the hoy 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 revolves and the noise of the crackers. Almost 100 yards from the cabin 8door. and some 40 or 50 yards apart, they dug three pits, long enough for a nan 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, Abe 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 -non. 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. I Presently au Indian came crouching under tho eave 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 33 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 cabin. I 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 liiue the fire. When these began to explode amid the savages, the boy began his work of emptying the revolvers that were fixed I fast in the vail. I 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 smoke the drunken savages began firing their rifles wildly or hacked .)ne another'to death in the dark- ness of the place. Having rc-loatled 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 pit- 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 make 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 "0," no matter how it was spelt, "Oh" or "0," 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 r.ip unexpectedly on a far more generous scale, a pinch that was almost cruel in its intensity. Ant; then the astonished tind agonised lexico- grapher yelled "Oh!" in a manner that i^eet his theory for ever and aye.
