A deeperata aoldier named Brice
broke Jail ooa night aad waa puraoed
the following morning. Tba trail led to
the neat for a trifle over a mile; tbea It
turned north for a quarter of a mile
and we followed until we came to a
tree at tbe edge of a alongb to the
northwest of the fort, called tba "gar
don bar slough.". Here Arklchlta point
ed under the tree and said Brtce bad
lain down there ta reel. .
, The trail here led Into the slough.
A Dakota "slough" la a shallow lake
the water of which la from atx Inches
to three feet dop, with a aoft, muddy
nf th ,h , .,,,
Collo.-Uroui grasaMi or weed, but along the
edges, from 20 la 00 yarda out, long
tub? grass grows. , -
Tbla particular alough waa a mile
long and varied from an eighth to a
quarter of a mile In width, and there
waa a foot of water covering aa much
aoft 'mud. During tbe night the wind
had rolled the water up considerably.
It seemed hardly possible to track any
thing through It, except where the tule
had been broken down. Where that
waa tbe case, even I could follow the
trail; on reaching open water, however,
the caae was different
Tbe eastern end of the alough reached
to a point near tbe fort not more than
ISO yards from a brickyard, on which
was a kiln that bad been built during
the surumor. The kiln waa now ready
for firing. . -. . .
V Once I thought Arklchlta waa baffled,
after nil; he bad come to a dead stand
still near the tule. Then an Inspiration
struck me; perhaps by a circle I could
And the trail. Happy thought! I put It
into Immediate execution and found
one. Rather elated at my success, I
called. "Come quick; heap trail!" He
came over, took one look; Just the sug
gestion of a smile played on bia face
as he said, "Cow." .
" I did no more trailing, but under
stood what waa tiothering him. - The
post herd also had waded through here
since Brlce'a escape, and It took all th
scout's endless patience and wonderful
eyesight to keep the trail where th
cattle had passed through it. The grass
stem was of no use here.
- Wa had passed over half the alough
In this circuitous route, when sudden
ly Arklchlta started, straight aa the
crow flics. Tor the edge-of too slough
near the brickkiln. Waa he following
tbe trail T . - -
On he went until he came to the
shore nearest tbe kiln; here be atopped,
evidently bothered again.' There was a
scarcely discernible footprint In the
mud and water right at tbe edge of the
slough, apparently tbe last step the de
serter bad taken before reaching bard
ground. This footprint showed the toes,
so tbe deserter was now barefooted.
Another thing about this print was its
direction; it stood at light angles to the
line previously followed. Either the
man had taken a sideward spring for
the land from bia right foot, or be bad
turned around and started back over
his own trail. '
' Arklchlta went down ou bis knee
and - Inspected the grass, blade ' by
blade. I kept a respectful distance at
one side, astonished at the turn the
affair bad taken. Now.' Inch by Inch,
on his knees, be wrenched the secret
from the apparently unwtlllug surface
of -tbe earth. Eighty yards from the
kiln, be looked up and glanced at It
-The same Idea evidently Instantly occur
red to both of us. Tbo trail waa lead
lug to tbo kiln! Then tae rose, and,
bending over, slowly advanced to the
edge of the brickyard. -
After reaching the yard, Arklchlta
walked slowly around the outer edg3
of It examining the ground with tbe
utmost care, Ontll he came to tbe point
from which he smiled, when he isnld,
"Trail come In no go out; man In
there." pointing to the kiln. ' --And
circumstances proved him to be
right, though It was 30 hours before
the fugitive was located In the kllu and
captured. Lieutenant W. O. Beunett,
