Dear Sirs:—I would like to
adc my testimony to tie almost
miracolons effect of P. P. P. in the
case of Mary Ingram, a woman
living on my place; she had a con-
stant coagh, sore throat debility,
etc., and was emaciated to a degree
that she was enable to get
oat of unaided, being given np
by physicians; she bad
taken tbe rninons so-called
blood medicines without the least
effect, until being pat under the
P. P. PM sua immediately began to
improve and is now in as good
health as ever in her life. Yon can
refer to me at any time as to the
effect* of P. P. P., in the foregoing
case. Yoorstialy,

"Go to your room now, little daugh
ter," he said huskily; "go, dear, and try
to sleep. 1 will not leave witho t com
ing to say bye-bye, just as 1 alwaysdlL*
Bhe shivered and hid her face and clung
to his neck, saying no word, shedding
no tear. Gently he unclasped her hands
"Yes, my child, do as I bid you now; i
want to speak with mother awhile.'
And then reluctantly she turned, bul
the one brief look into his eyes was sc
full of wordless sorrow that he was foi
an instant unmanned. "My little girl
my little Winnie! don't look at your old
daddy that way!" he almost sobbed, at
again he threw his arm around her, lead
ing her to the stairs. "We won't be gone
long. We're all coming hack, dear; and
we'll have a lovely Christmas, and you
shall have the jolliest kind of a party,
pet. But be a brave little woman now.
It—it'll all come right." She turned
with quick convulsive sob and threw
herself upon his breast, again twining
her soft arms about his neck, her beau-
tiful dark hair streaming in rippling,
shimmering masses down over the j
creamy white wrapper. The burst of i
tears would have been a blessed relief, |
but it never came. A quick, soldierly |
tread was heard on the plank walk with- I
out, and then springing up the steps, j
Even before the rat-tat-tat at the dooi
she had torn herself from his arms and
sped like a startled fawn up the carpeted
stair.
"It is Mr. Brewster," said Mrs. Ber-
rien, in low tone, quickly. Berrien
threw open the door. "Anything for a
pretext to come here again," he mut-
tered angrily to himself, as he confronted
the unwelcome intruder. It was Brew
ster.
"Major Berrien, the colonel's compli-
ments, and he desires you to know that
the train will be here at four instead o(
five." And Brewster's eyes glanced but
an instant into those of his superior,
and then went wandering longingly ovei
his shoulder.
"I had already heard it, sir. Yon
have everything ready?"
"I beg pardon, then, for disturbing
you, major. 1 have just left the col
onel, and he thought you might not have
heard. Yes, sir, everything will be
ready, though the rations are not yet
cooked."
"Then be ready to get your horses
aboard the moment F has finished load-
ing. Anything else, Mr. Brewster?"
Poor fellow, there was something else—
something that tilled heart and soul and
dominated every thought. Gazing
wistfxilly up the stairs, his sad eyes had
caught one glimpse of that white, fleet-
ing form, one glimpse of the lovely
pallid face all framed in dark, falling
tresses, as, clinging to the balustrade, I
Winifred turned, unable to resist the
longing to hear what he might have to
say.
"Nothing—nothing more, 1 believe,
sir." And, mechanically raising his j
hand in salute, poor Curly turned away,
the door promptly closing behind him.
Berrien came back into the parlor i
clinching his fists, speechless indigna-
tion in his face. Mrs. Berrien saw the
unmistakable signs, and, though in hei !
heart she felt full of sympathy foi !
Brewster, she knew it best to say noth-
ing now.
"If I thought it as you said," he I
hoarsely spoke at last, "if 1 thought
that fellow had been trifling with Win- i
nie while all the time carrying on this J
Faugh! it makes me feel as though j
I could throttle him!" And Berrien j
strode up and down the cozy room,
beating one brawny fist into the palm of j
the other hand.
"But, Richard dear, why do you think
there has been anything serious between
him and this—this woman? 1 think she
deliberately assumed that manner at the I
hop tonight. 1 think she called him I
'Carroll' solely for Winifred's benefit
and mine. I saw how astonished and
annoyed he was."
But Berrien held up a warning hand !
"She came down the stairs weeping and
he striving to soothe her. She was sob-
bing a*loud when he put her in the car
riage. Rolfe and I both saw and heard.
Don't tell me there wasn't anything be-
tween them. Very possibly he does
want to make up to Winifred now. but
damn him! he shan't. I won't have her
degraded by any such offer, if 1 have tc
send her and you to Europe to get hei
away from him. It is no imagination.
Bess; I tell you 1 know. Why, only this
morning she sent him a new picture of
herself; and as for calling him Carroll
for our benefit, that's what she calls
him in her letters, and 1 can prove it."
"How, Dick?"
"Rolfe saw it—saw it this very tnorn-
ing."
"Captain Rolfe! Why, how came he
to see her letter to him?"
"Well, it was lying open on his desk,
he could not help seeing."
"Why, Dick, I cannot understand
Captain Rolfe's looking at or reading
other people's letters, and"
"It was an accident, I tell you."
"Ah, but it was no accident his tell-
ing of it, Dick. Nothing on earth should
have induced him to refer to it, if, as he
claims, he saw it by accident. I did not
suppose Rolfe would do such a thing."
"Well, he couldn't help himself I
dragged it out of him, I suppose."
Another step, another rap at the dooT
and, casting one glauce aloft, Berrien,
to his dismay, again caught sight of
Winifred's pale face peering over the
balustrade. The child could not, would
not rest.
"What's wanted?" he curtly asked as
he threw open the door.
"It is Sergeant Ellis, sir." said a deep
voice. "I have come to beg the major
to intercede for me. My troop goes
with the major's battalion and 1 begged
to be relieved and allowed to go, but the
quartermaster says 1 must stay nntil
some sergeant can tie found who is com
petent to take charge—some one in the
infantry battalion. That may require
two or three days, sir, and 1 am fearful
that once the command gets away there
will be no obtaining orders to follow it.
Besides, sir, there is my horse."
'' Yon belong to the Black troop?"
"Yes, sir, and 1 think that if the ma-
jor would but speak to Major Kenyon
at once he could name a sergeant who
would take my place here at the fire-
house. Almost any man can do it, sir
only there is no time to be lost Major
Kenyon is at the doctor's now."
"Dr. Holden's?"
"Yes, sir, and Captain Rolfe has just
joined him there."
"Have you spoken to Lieutenant
Brewster? He commands your troop
aa yon know, now that the captain's
away."
"I have, sir, but it was at tbe office
and the quartermaster spoke up at once,
so that Lieutenant Brewster could do
nothing."
Berrien turned back into the parlor
"Bess, dear, 1 must run over to Holden's
a moment. Will you not go up to Wini
fred? She is not lying down at all."
Followed by the sergeant, Berrien
entered Holden's gate and gave a whack
at the open hall door as he passed in
Rolfe's voice was the first thing he
heard. It was tremulous with excite-
ment.
"If Colonel Farquhar will but give
me authority to search one room in this
post 1 will guarantee that 1 can find
that picture and name the thief"— He
broke off short at sight of Berrien
Holden rose, hospitably urging the major
to join them in a cup of coffee, but Ber-
rien proceeded at once to business.
"Major Kenyon, a sergeant of my bat-
talion is in charge of the fire apparatus
here, but is most anxious to go with us
He says it will be allowed if yon can
name one of your men—a noncommis-
sioned officer—to take his place at once
You will do me a very great favor if you
will."
"Certainly I can," answered Kenyon
stoutly. "Is your man there? Call him
in. Sergeant Griggs, of B company
will be just the man, and 1 know his
company commander will make no ob-
jection."
"Come in here, sergeant," called Ber-
rien, and cap in hand the dark eyed
dark haired trooper, on whose lip the
mustache was again beginning to bris
tie, stood silently before them.
"Are you well enough to go, my
man?" spoke up Holden on the instant.
"You look very pale, if not ill."
"I am perfectly well, doctor, and I
am eager to go. I suppose I'm a little
cold and excited."
"Then give my compliments to the
quartermaster at once and say Sergeant
Griggs, of the infantry, will take your
duty," said Kenyon quietly.
Ellis muttered, "Thank you, sir,"
faced about and hurried from the room.
"Was that man in the hall when I
was talking and you came in?" asked
Rolfe, in his quick, decided way.
"I don't know," answered Berrien sur-
prised. "J think he followed me up the
steps and was standing at the door.'
"Why do you ask, Rolfe?" queried
Holden, closely studying his face.
"Because, if he was, the search I
spoke of would now be useless."
CHAPTER VII.
Daylight at last, but the sun is hidden
iu banks of dripping mist. Daylight,
wan and chill and comfortless, and the
bleary lamps still smoke and flicker
about tbe parade. Daylight, yet with-
out one spark of gladness. Even the
birds hu.ldle in the shelter of the autumn
foliage, now so cri*p and brown, and not
so much as a chirp is heard. All around
the big quadrangle night lamps are still
aglow within the shaded windows, tell-
ing of sleepless vigil, of pallid cheeks
and tear dimmed eyes. Only in the bar-
racks of the men or the lively dens of
the bachelor subalterns do the windows
blaze, uncurtained, undismayed. There |
no silently weeping wives, no clinging,
sobbing little ones, crying "because i
mamma cries," yet little dreaming foi !
what cause, no thought of "What will
come to these should I never re turn?"
daunt the spirit of the soldier. There
all voices are ringing with eagerness,'
even exultation, as the men brace on
their woven cartridge l>elts and toss ovei
their brawny shoulders carbine slitiKf
and the straps of canteen and haversack,
and then come streaming forth upon the
galleries muffled to the chin in the blue
cavalry overcoats.
Out on the jiarado the trumpeters are
gathered under the moist folds of the
flag, awaiting the signal to sound "as-
sembly," and now the band comet
marching in through the morning mist,
and tho adjttant strides forth from the
office door. Merrily, briskly the stirring
peal bursts from the bells of the brazer.
trumpets. Promptly the blue overcoats
leap into ranks. Sharply they face t.
the left, and the stern voices of the ser
geants can be heard calling the rolls—
the "here," "here," of the men respond
ing in animation and hilarity sometimes
so marked as to call forth a frown of re
buke. The troop commanders and theii
subalterns have hastened to their coin
pany grounds. The major has just
come forth from his dimly lighted hall
and is joined by the colonel at the gate,
and now, slowly, these two are pacing
out to the parade. On many of the ver-
andas dim feminine forms, mantled in
heavy shawl or cloak, have gathered in
the gloom. Some can be seen flitting
ghostlike through the mist, seeking
comfort and sympathy in the society ol
a near neighbor equally bereaved.
Brewster turns one longing glance at
the porch of the major's quarters, but
no one is there.
Again,quick and spirited, as though de
fying the elements, the trumpets peal the
adjutant's call; the band bursts into the
martial rhythm of lively quickstep, and
then the dripping, moisture laden morn-
ing air rings with the words of command,
as, in full ranks, the four troops comt
swinging out upon the turf and all the
roadway around the parade fills up with
other light blue overcoats, those of troop
Listen! listen!
era and footmen, who wish with all their
hearts it was their turn to go—that
they, too, belonged to the First battalion.
In a moment the line is formed; the car-
bines snap into the bared left hands af
arms are presented; Berrien leaves the
colonel's side and takes ooat in front
of the center, touches his cap in ac-
knowledgment of the salnte and whipe
out his own battle worn blade. No
speech making here. "Right forward,
fours right!'' rings the order, and then,
arms at right shoulder, band and trum-
peters leading, Berrien's men, with
quick, elastic step, with swing and life
and jauntlness in every stride, march
square away across the parade, heading
for the road in front of Farquhar's quar-
ters. The trumpets strike up their mer-
ry, lively peal. With one simultaneous
crash the carbines are brought to the
carry, and Berrien lowers his saber in
salute to the gray haired colonel, whose
eyes fill and who bares for the momen*
his handsome head as he notes the spir-
ited bearing of the men.
And now the head of column has
reached the road and turns to the left,
and now the trumpets cease and the full
band bursts into martial song and all
along the row women are waving hand-
kerchiefs wet with tears, even though
many are sobbing as though their hearts
would break, and little children are
perched on the gallery railings, shouting
in shrill treble their goodby to papa,
who turns one brief glance, perhaps the
very last on earth, and a big lump rises
in many a husky throat and stern eyes
are dimmed with unwonted tears, and
God alone knows the secret thoughts
that go surging through the soldier
brain, the never ceasing whisper of that
still, small voice, "What—what will be
their fate if I am taken?" God alonf-1
can hear, God alone can know the
humility, the piteous pleading in the
muttered prayer that floats to him on
high, "Oh, guard anil protect them, and
if it be thy will in thy good time restore
the father to his helpless little ones."
Ah, it is one thing to go forth to fight
for an imperiled country, for an in-
sulted flfcg, to stake life and fortune
and hope to guard the beloved ones at
the fireside, and to feel that one i9 bat-
tling for them, for their honor, peace
and future prosperity.
But it is a thing far different to be
torn from loving arms and the smiles
and sunshine in the little faces, the prat-
tling and kisses of baby lips, to face
y*ar after year a savage f oe, knowing
full well that, defeated, only death can
be the soldier's fortune; that, victorious,
the only reward will be permission to
slink back to the station whence one
came. It is the conquered Indian who
rides in triumph to the nation's capital
and learns how great and good a thing
it is to take the warpath every other
year, lt is aril well enough for the young
officers, the young troopers, to laugh and
cheer. It is the husband and father
among the seniors, the old campaigner
In the rank and file—men who have been
through many ami many a bloody tight
within some twenty years of national
peace and prosperity—men who have
seen dozens, hundreds of their cherished
comrades slaughtered in battle with the
Sioux—it is they who see the other side
of the picture, and ask: "To what pur
pose? To what end?"
Outbreak has followed outbreak, cam-
paign has followed campaign, each
marked by bitter losses in many a regi-
ment, each swelling the list of the
widowed and the fatherless, each ter
miuated by the final surrender of hostile
bands satiated with the summer's slaugh-
ter and shrewd enough to know that
they have only to wave the white rag of
submission to l>e restore*d to public con
fidence and double rations. Step aside
now, gentlemen of the army, bury youi
dead, patch up your wounds, go back tc
your stations and get ready for anothei
shindy in the spring. You have had
your annual outing, the Indian only hit
first innings. Now comes his second.
Now the bureau takes hold, and away
go tho prominent leaders of the red re-
volt in the annual pilgrimage, the an-
nual starring tour through the east, and
the sentimentalists swarm to meet them,
and wheresoever they stop hosts of out
fellow citizens throng to smile upon
them, eager to clasp and shake the hands
that less than a month ago were reeking
with the blood of mutilated soldiery for
whom desolate women and bereaved lit-
tle ones are wailing hopelessly today.
V® victis!
Go on in your triumphal circuit, red
brothers Rain-in-tlie-Face, Thunder
Bear, Blizzard Hawk. Rejoice in the
sunshine of your prosperity; go back tc
! your new lodges and unload your chests
, of plunder, the free will offerings of
your palefaced kindred. The war lias
made you rich. Your squaws and chil
! dren revel in fowl and finery galore, and
' should supplies begin to slacken up a lit
tie with the coming of another spring
shoot your agent, carry off his wife and
daughters, and start in for another sum-
mer of fun. As for yon, weeping widow

j by the Sioux last fall, get l>ack to tlit
j east as best you can, dry your tears, and
! be happy on twenty dollars a month,
j It's what one must expect in marrying
into the army.
And now the last of the blue column
has passed through the western gate,
! and a throng of comrades surges after,
['every man in the garrison, not other-
wise on duty, trudging down through
the mist and mud to see Berrien's- bat-
talion to the waiting train. The guard
springs to arms and falls in line—the
guard whom Brewster was to have re-
lieved at eight a. m.—and again the
major lowers his saber in acknowledg-
ment of their salute, and so, down the
winding road, tramp, tramp, steadily,
cheerily, even joyously, they go, and
the broad parade above is silent and de-
serted. Women are sobbing in one an-
other's arms, and Mrs. Berrien, seated
at an upper window looking out to the
west, is stroking Winifred's glossy, rip-
pling tresses—Winifred, who, kneeling
has buried her tear stained face in hei
mother's lap. Fainter and fainter the
martial strains come floating up from
the wooded valley. The band is play-
ing another quickstep now, its prelude
full of vim and life and spirit, and
then— What strange inspiration has
possessed the leader? Listen! listen!
Winifred raises her head and looks one
instant with dilated ej-es into her moth-
er's pallid, cjuivering face; then, cover-
ing her ears with her slender hands,
burrowing again into her mother's lap,
she bursts into a passion of tears. Listen I
Sweet, soft, sad, the beautiful notes of
the thrice beautiful old song are wafted
up on the gentle beeeze. God! to how
many a breaking heart, how many a
world worn, weary, yearning soul has it
not spoken!
Love not, love not, ye hapless sons of clay.
It is too much for Mrs. Berrien. Brave,
self controlled, uncomplaining as she
has been through it all, this is test be-
yond her strength. Down comes the
window with sudden clash, and then,
drawing her daughter to her breast,
clasping her in her loving, sheltering
arms, the mother heart sives wav the

Cheer upon cheer comes swelling on
the morning air. Cheer follows cheer
as Berrien's men return the soul stirring,
soldierly goodby. Guidons wave from
the thronging platforms. Bronzed faces
peer from every window. Hats and
forage caps are tossing 011 high. Men
rush alongside the slowly starting train
for one last handclasp of the departing
comrades. The echoes ring to the rol-
licking notes of their old charging,
fighting tune. The trumpets answer
from the crowded cars. The sun bursts
through the eddying mist and streams
in glorious radiance upon the scene. All
here at the station throbs with soldier
song and spirit and enthusiasm, but
above—above, where in mournful pre-
monition one poor army wife is weeping
over three little curly heads pillowed in
her straining arms, there comes no sound
of soldier triumph, no echo of soldier
song. Sunshine and stirring music fol-
low the swiftly speeding train, but all is
dark and desolate now where gladness
reigned but a day gone by.
CHAPTER VIII.
Letters from the front! What joy
and comfort they bring!—for even-
writer seeins bent on convincing the
anxious enes at home that there is no
danger and little discomfort, after all.
Telegrams and brief notes have been
raining in ever since the departure of
the regiment, tint now the two bat-
talions are reunited under Farquhar's
command; they have got shaken down
into a spo :ies of winter cantonmenl
with a goodly number of comrade troopf
and troopers from the threatened de-
partment. The weather has not been
unusually severe thus far. Men and
horses stood the trip admirably, and no-
body growled at stiffened fingers and
red noses an 1 benumbed feet as they rodt
in long column from the railway to th(
agency, and, now that fuel has beer
lugged up in abundance and fur caps
and "blizzard coats" are coming and the
Indians hovering al>out the camps seen
deeply impressed with the numbers anc
readiness of the white soldiers and al!
promises well, the letters grow longei
and more frequent.

"It ix m;/ brother."
"We are doing first rate, Bess dear,'
wrote Berrien, "and all are hopeful thai
with the surrounding of the big band of
hostiles in the Bad River valley tlit
most uncertain feature of the businesi
is at an end. If they can l>e quietlj
herded in to the reservation and induced
to give up all their arms and ponies
there will be no further trouble. Tht
health and spirit of th'e regiment are ex
cellent, and, while I hojie 110 emergencj
will arise, I can l>et that if there shouli
be a shindy the Twelfth will give goo<
account of itself. Farquhar keeps us or
the alert an<Ttliere is no rusting. Gor

Brewster, to his infinite disgust I doubt
not, has had to fall back to second place.
He and Rolfe are about the only gloom}
spirits in the command, and of Brewstei
I see very little. Ever since the episode
of which I told you and her most signifi
cant appearance at the depot in towi
while we were being switched to tht
northbound track I have not felt likt
having anything to do with him. How
do you suppose she heard of our move
since she left the hop before any ont
knew of it? There were a few othei
ladies there, I admit, for they were still
with us when the orders came, and it had
cleared by the time we reached the depot
She, however, seemed to hang on tc
him and nobody else to the very last. 1
am distressed at what you tell me about
Winifred, and the more I think of it tht
more I am disposed to urge your in-
stant acceptance of Miss Guthrie's in
vitation. It will be the very best anti-
dote I know of—a few weeks in St.
Louis society—if she has indeed, as you
tear, become interested in him. Go bj
all means; it will do you good—do Win-
ifred a world of good (get her some new
gowns, and take in all the parties and
aD the gayety you possibly can), and it
will be a good thing for Miss Guthrie
too,
