YOUR MISSION,
If you cannot on the acean
Sail among the swiftes? flcet,
Rocking on the highest billows,
Laughing at the storm you meet,
You can stand among the sailors
Anchored yet within the bay,
You can lend a hand to belp them
As they launch their boat away.
If you are too weak to journey
Up the mountain steep and high,
You can stand within the valley
While the multitude go by;
You can chant a happy measure
As they slowly pass along,
Though they may forget the singer,
They may not forget the song.
If yon cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself a soldier true,
If wheresmoke and fire are thickest
There’s no work for you to do ¢
When the battle field is silent,
You can go with careful tread,
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead.
Do not, then, stand idly waiting
For some greazer work to do ;
Fortune is a fickle goddess,
She will never come to you.
Go and toil in any vineyard
i Do not fear to do and dare,
If you want a field of labor,
You can find it anywhere.
THE CRY OF THE VULTURE.
' BY M. QUAD,
i
Irom the Detroit Free Press.]
l It is noon by the sun.
Here, thirty miles north of the
E White river, and only a few miles
from where it bends about the eas
’ tern side of Harrey's Peak is a
spring and two or three small trees
The spring is the source of a tiny
creek which threads its way over
‘plain and prairic until it emptics
into the river.
- Fort Sully is an evea hundred
5 miles to the northeast, and the
“country between is given over to
‘the coyote, the rattlesnake and the
savage
~ Camp Robinson is an even huns
“dred miles to the northwest, on the
very headwaters of the White, and
the country between mizht well be
~written down as accurse 1.
~ Itis high noon by the silver
‘watch which the scout pulls from
‘his pockec as his mule comes to a
sudden halt at the spring and
plunges his nose into the clear,cold
\; water until he must shut his eyes.
From Fort Sully to Cawmp Robite
son with military orders. Just
half the ride has been completed.
Two hundred miles thr(ma)
lands accursed with venomous ser
pents, sneaking coyotes, savage
wolves, Indian devils—with mem
ories of a score of massacres—with
remembrances of tomahawk and
scalping knife, and exultant war
riors. They bade this man good
bye as he rode from the fort, and
they parted with him as if he were
going to his death. They watched
him as he rode away into the gloom
of evening, and when the shadows
had swallowed him up there rose
up in his place, seeming to be pain
ted across the somber curtain of
vight, the legand:
CHARLIE GRAY,
Government Scout and Dispatch
Rider,
Captured by Demons, Sept. 16’68,
AND
Tortured to Death Same Date.
Gentle, Brave and Fearless,
Erected to His Memory by Loving
Friends and Comrades,
Men read the legend and turned
away witha shiver. Tweo hundred
miles of snake and wolf and demon!
It was taking terrible chances.
It had been a rough ride, with,
scarcely an hour’s halt for rest,and
the mule drank as if long deprived
of water. Little by little he raised
his head trom the spring, and at
last he lifted his nose clear of the
water and with an *‘o-0-0-ff” ot sat.
istaction. The man’s tongue
burned for water, but he did not
hurry his movements. He began
at the peak on his right and care
tully looked over the ground in a
quarterscirele to the north. ‘Then
he turned in his raddle and made
the survey a half-circle, Then he
lifted himself in the stirrups and
surveyed the ground to the left
to the right—in front—and his
circle was complete.
It was plain—sterile, parched,
broken and ridged—lands which
produce only for reptiles and wild
beasts. A serpent lay basking ia
the sun a few yards distant. A
gaunt, wildseyed wolf peered out
from behind a rock scarce pistol
shof away, and gnashed his teeth
in digappointment that It was not
other game. The scout smiled
with satisfaction. He could detect
nothing of the foe he most dread
ed. He leaps to the ground, strips
off the sadle, and while the mule
picks at the sweet grass around the
spring the scont breaks hiz fast
from the bread- and meat in his
haversack.
‘Hi-ek ! Hi-ek! Hi-ek!”
It is the call of a vulture, sailing
in circles oveir the spring. Did
you ever see a vulture of the plain?
A heavy lodied bird of sombre
color, with fierce beak, and talons
like the claws of a tiger. The liva
ing are nothivg to him; death is
his feast.
“Hisek ! Hisek ! Hi-ek!”
When you hear that cry look
out. Death is close at hand,
At the second eall the mule
raised his head in a startled way
and east a swift glance on every
side. The scout was slower in his
movements, Ile loogened his re
volvers before he moved, and as he
rose up he had his rifle in his
hands.
“Hi-ek! Hi-ek! Hi-ck!”
What is it? The man turns
slowly on his heel to scan the coun
try, and brave and fearless as heis
his heart increases its beats and his
eyes betray anxiety. The vultare
is never mistaken. The death-call
is never uttrred without reason.
There are three minutes of =uch
suspense as try men’s nerve—of
such silence that the flap! flap ! ot
the vulture’s” great wings can be
heard as he sails his circle.
“Hiwk! Hi—l?
Ah! A score of savages suddens
ly appesr on the crest of the ridae
half a mile to the west, each one is
painted and bedecked—each one
mounted and thirsting for blood.
They have heen in ambush tor
hours, and now their waiting has
been rewarded. They wheel to the
right and lett until they are in
line. Nota war whoop las been
uttered—not a shout has broken
the silence, The scout faces them,
One—five—ten —fifteen— twenty
two !
An even hundred miles to Fort
Sully ! An even hundred miles to
Camp Robinson ! Oue to twenty~
two!
“Hieek! Hi~ek! Hi-ek!” screams
the buzzard in exultation,
The bronze which the summer
sun of the west has burned upon
the scout’s cheek, pales a little as
the line advances fo encircle him,
and his fingers tighten on his rifle
until the clutch woull make hu
man flesh ery out in agony, but
there is never a quiver of the lip—
never a tremble of the limh.
Now the ficht opens. There is
shout and shot and swift cireling,
The hoarse eries of the vulture
mingle with the fierce sereams of
the warriors, and echo back the des
fiant shouts of the scout.
" * *
Now the circle contracts. Two
warriors have been struck from
their ponies and two ponies have
been hard hit. They must eclose
with him or numbers will not
count against his steady eye and
iron nerve,
- % %k
“Hi-ek! Hi-ek! Hi-ek!”
The scout is down, and the mule,
wounded to the death, has broken
through the circle with a mad
rush. It were better if the bullet
which tore up the scalp and rend.
ered the hrave man uneonscious
for a period had penctrated to the
brain, When he opens his eyes
again he is disarmed and a prison—
er. Ie looks from face to face
Not one gleam of mercy—mnot one
line of pity. ;
X * *
After many days some other]
scout, riding with life in hand as
did this one, may stop at the:
spring. He will see the ashes of a
fire—a few boncs, bits of clothing
scattered about—a pile of empty
cartridge shells,
“Hisek! Hick! Fiek!”
He will turn from them to the
death vulture sailing above his
head, and as he glances back to
the tell-tale relics the bosom of the
parched earth will be a sign on
which he will read !

the pensions than ever paid betore
in the same time,
3. The expenses of the governs

$15.000,000.
4. Hordes of lazy, incompetent
and useless officials have been dis

5. Tt has 'roken up Indian
rings, Jand rings and tradership
rings that flourished till the
Demoeratic party came into
power,
6. Tt has established business
methods and strict ceonomy for

7. Tt has given the lie to the
charge that the Democracy if ene

10. A Demoeratic Congress

All this has heen done by Dem

we assure our correspondent that
this is only a part of the “splendid

SHEP'S FRIEND BURIED.
Funeral of the Lad Who Commit
ted Suwicide on ITis Dog's
Grave:. ~
Brys Mawr, Pa, July 25.
The funcral here to day of the lad
who killed himselt on the grave of
his pet dog on Monday evening
furnished a fresh topic for conver.
sation of unusual interest in this
beautiful suburb on the Penusyl
vania railroad, where many of Phil
adelphia’s “swell set” spend the
summer.
The lad was laid to rest in the
graveyard of the Episcopal church
near by his late home this afters
noon. His funeral was attended
by many of his schoolmates, neigh
bors, guests and others from the
hotel, Addresses were made by
both the Methodist and Episcopa
lian ministers, who spoke net only
of the lad%s great grief at the death
of his damb companion but of the
greater grief of the lad's pas
rents,
The details of the lad’s suicide
are now familiar to all the neigh- :
bors, but the stoiies fiest published
were somewhat distorted. The lad's
father, John Harp, gardener to the
Keystone hotel, desired the Herald
correspondent to get the story cors
reetly.
‘My poor boy ‘Allie’s dog, named
Shep: was so niuch affeeted by the
heat last week that he was very
ill, Heand Ailie were very much
attached to each other and were
constantly together. In faet, Shep
was Allie's only playmate, ns my
boy was of a peculiar digposition,
never associating with ehildren and,
although an affectionate child,nev
er taking any of us inte his confi
dence, He preterred rather to go
to the ‘hands’ about the grounds
and tell them his little seerets, plans
and childish troubles.
ALLIE'S LOVE FOR THE DOG,
‘Allie was very attentive to Shep
in his sickness and did all he could
to relieve his suffering. On Mon
day morning Allie went over to
the field to work. cautioning his
mother to have a care to Shep,
‘At noon Allie came home and
whistled for Shep, as he always did
if he had left him behind. Mother
beard him and went to him and
told him:
‘Allie, poor Shep is dead, and
your brother buried him 1a the
garden.’
“This was a hard blow to the lad,
and that great Tamp eame into his
throat, 'ut he said nothing, and
went to where his friend was bu
ried. :
‘Hesaw on the grave this in
sceription, which his brother had
written and placed there :

‘Allie’s grief was dumb.
‘He ate Lis dinner without relish
and returned to work. He came
home at sunset, ate his supper and
went up stairs, took off some of his
clothes, wound up his wateh and
laid out a pair of pants to be fixed.
and then, as we supposed, sat by
his bedroom window,
‘My wife, a visitor ‘and- myselt

front of the house, - Wife asked
where Allie was. As he was such
a strange_boy we did ot like to
say anything to him about Shep,as
we feared it would annoy him. lln

to let him think or know we were

ALLIE FOUND DEAD ON THE GRAVE,
‘Directly my little girl came out
te us and said, *Why, Allie is ly

to speak to him and called him.—
Mother heard my little girl, say,
‘Why, he don’t answer or move !’
‘With that mother jumped up
and cried, ‘My God, Allie has
killed himself! He's dead” Why
she thought so she does not kuow.

} Curious Legal Qucstoin. -' s
A curious legal question ¢omé?
fronted the probate court of Calel

January, 1886, Dr. Martin W‘l% 5
at Battle Creek, killed his w 3
and two children and then Mx §
his own life. The question which .
for a time greatly puzzled the. Jug,lm
as to whether the children of Murs, g
White dicd first, as if when she
died the children were living théy
would inherit her estate, and if the™’
father died last he would inherigs
the property from the childresy»
and upon his death, leaving o
children, the property would goto»
Dr. White’s brotker, as his wedrast®
living relative. But, on the other®
hand. if the children were killed
first, then, the mother leaving no™
children, her estate would descend'!
to her mother and brothers as her
nearest living relatives. s
