Thejseiitinel at the gate heard a shrill neigh, saw the smouldering brands of tho dying. camp-fires flung high in the air, and nest momjcnt the Indians were yelling and screaming- in affright.

V one i;ev- il et-ood still, cars fi.tt to his head 1 lb-ad np, ears pointed forward, and e'yos ipeued to their wide, ': extent, the wild horse stood for a long minute and looked into the soldiei't? face. Hie nostrils dila ted, hie tail moved this way and that, and tlie muscles in Ida powerful chest and legs stood out in hold relief. The tob tier's sur prise and admiration wereo great that he utood like a statue, musket on his shosil drt, bia mind almost doubting what his r.rs saw.

The veil of pi.in and alarm uttered by the sentinel had scarcely died nw-ay before the ifli f came hun-iedly out. They found him lying in a heap beside ' the stockade, unconscious raid his 'uniform in tatters. There was no enemy in sight " not even a wolf sk.dked away through the darkness. A general alarm was pounded, all tiio drums beat to arms, and for a quarter of an hour the excitement 'was intense, every one believing that a large force of Indians was on the point of making an assault. . , When tho sentinel recovered his senses and related his adventure, no'one would believe his story until a sergeant had ex amined the earth, and discovered the hoof- jirmts of the horse. It was, however, such a singular adventure that no one felt easv until morning came. Then the trail of the whito horse could be followed far out 011 the prairie; and Soon after sunrise the hrse himself was seen bearing down.on the fort from the direction of the mountain rangy three miles away.

For two or three minutes not a word was spoken by any j man, and tho horse did uof, move a foot. ! Then a scout and hunter, who had come into the fort about half an hour before, -.id to the commander: "Why, that's the horse known among '18 and tho Injuns as 'White Dovil.'

He was lifted out of bed and made a vain effort- to draw ou Li trou sers, butdio could not stand, and turn bled again upon his couch.

Two of them had to carry him out' with his arms around their necks, his head bunging on the right shoulder, and his legs trailing on the stones behind him.
