All day long wagon after wagon had been rumbling up from elf parte of Comanche county in Oklahoma to a aoauel rendeivou on Cache creek The camp was teemlag with modern Indian lire. The smoic waa rising from fifty lull campflres: the Innu merable dogs - were fighting; the squaw were chattering aa they pro pared the evening meai; tne men were attending to the horsea; the children war - racing and laughing. An old Texan waa talktng to the mla- slonary. who"was intif naely Interest ed In the storv. 'I've seen the time when we gave the Comanche , bullets Inrtead of Bible," he said. "It was In thd War of the early '70s.' f ras one of tha Texas rangers, and we fought the Co manche to th finish. W fought them out of Texas, and then th troop did them up at McClellan'a Creek, In the Territory. Comanche could fight In those days. 1 aaw some brave Indian die, one old chief In particular. I alwaya feel aorry when think of It. "We Texan were fighting our own war with the Comanehea. The troop wer in th Territory, chaaing th Htaked Plain band of Comanehea; but w atayed in Texaa and fought Comanche and Klowss whenever we found them. Veil, onwday wo found hem too thick. About twenty or us got rut off and had to take to the buttea to aav our horasa. We kept he redaklna offl until we reached the buttea. and leaving our horses there we rushed . back a long gun range from them, and then lay down In the tall grass and kept the Indiana oft with our riflea until neip came. This saved our horses, and fortunately we lost only two men. The Comanchva would ride within range and lira upon ua, but- we could hoot from . a perfect rest, ana we emptied many aaddiea. "One Comanche had white hair, and when he would whirl hla horse around and com riding low, Iwth his gun ready to ahoot, the rangrra would all to each other, "Look out for old grumladdy. He Shoota cloae.' There waa aomotliing unnatural about the old Indian's riding, and aJelc Jeffer son, who waa shooting next to me, said, with a laugh. The old buck Is so stlrf that he cant rlu slick.'. "One time the old man came oft a llttlo too far. Jack pulled up hla gun. We aaw the Indian a horae rlm and plunge, and know htat Jack hadn't missed. "'He'a coming on, cried" Jack. And aure enough he waa running straight for ua, low and swift, over tha long grasa, the old man tugging rn vain at the rein and trying to turn bis maddened pony. "A doscn rltli'S were raised to atop him, but Jack, all wild with fight and fun, yelled, 'Don't ahoot. He'a com ing in. He's my meat "The old Comanche cam on, whll th other Indiana lit a uUmnce were ahooflng and yelling like demon But ho mad no attempt to fire. He sat straight up on his horse, and aa ha camo close w heard him sing Ing. "One, ' hand was clutching hi empty rifle. Ill eye were fixed straight ahead.' It waa riding to hla finish, singing tho death chant of th Cometch warrior It waa a akaery alght. Jack raised hi gun, but Just couinn t snoot, ana poootiy aiao want ed to. Th caty; Jony passed ghnoKt over our head. Thun all of a aud den he atralghtened up In tha air and came; down head first on' the ground Indian under, a the hora' feet rose up In the somersault, "Why -didn't th old fool Hda-oirr" yelled aJrk, aa We both crouched, with out rliles ready In case the In dian should rise again. .Hut no In dian showed up, and th roa lay pr fectiy still. - v i . "Aflfr a bit the Comanche drew off out of range, and Jack and 1 walk ed over to where th dead horse lay.

'Partner, he's brok hi neck, and he WS tied onto his horse.'
