Tears from the depth of some divine despair Rise in the heart and gather to the eyes In looking on the happy autumn fields And thinking of the days that are no more. Fresh as the first beam glittering on a sail That brings our friends up from the under- world, Bad as the last which reddens over one That sinks with all we love below the verge - So sad, so fresh, the days that are no more. Ah, end and strange as in dark summer dawns Tho earliest pipe of half awakened birds To dying ears when unto dying eyes The casement slowly grows a glimmering square- t3o sad, so strange, the days that are no more. Dear as remembered kisses after death And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feigned On lips that are for others; deep as love, Deep as first love and wild with all regret - Oh. death in life, the days that are no morel -Alfred Tennyson. LAST OF B TROOP. Imagine a plain stretching away to tho east for 800 miles -a plain so flat and sterile that its very monotony is menac- ing; to the north foothills covered with stunted pines, to the south a tongue of sandy desert, to the west a succession of barren ridges on which neither wolf nor buzzard can find a drop of water nor a morsol of food. Right there, 100 miles from the nearest pioneer hamlet, they built Fort Brown and garrisoned it with 1090 who thought of suicide day by day as they looked upon the dreariness. There were a skeleton company of infantry and a skeleton company of oavalry-the last of B troop. There was a time in the history of these horsemen when B numbered a full hundred rnen and when its officers were the proudest men in the regiment, but there are fatalities in army life as well as elsewhere. dayover in Green as B troop valley rode gayly along 600 Indian warriors rose up in the dry gullies and emptied 40 sad- dles at the first volley. There was a court of inquiry, and the captain resigned. Again ten troopers were sent out to con- voy a wagon train, and tho Indians slaugh- tered the whole number. In the next three months five troopers deserted and three committed suicide. Ono afternoon the first lieutenant of the troop rode out for a hunt, but had not gone a mile when he was thrown from his horse and killed. Once more, two troopers were sent out to catch a horse which had broken loose and was cavorting around half a mile from the post. They were on foot, and as they ran they were bitten by rattlesnakes on which they trod, and both wero dead before sun- set. The army said that B troop was un - dor a hoodoo, and the remnant of the com- pany felt themselves almost outlawed. The day they rode into Fort Brown they num- bered 87 men, and they were under the temporary command of a second lieuten- ant. Captains and first lieutenants as- signed to B troop always -fought off the day of joining, and sonic had pull enough at Washington to have the assignment countermanded. There is superstition in the army as well as out of it. "Here is our graveyard," whispered the men of the troop as they naught sight of Fort Brown and its lonesome environ- ment after their long ride to reach it. They looked at the foothills to the north, at the plain to the east, at the desert to the south and the ridges to the west, and plan turned to man and repeated: "Hero is our graveyard, the last of the troop!" If you know an unlucky man, you pity him, but you also avoid him. The in- fantry at Fort Brown oould not avoid the unluoky troopers, but they pitied them and displayed no fraternal feeling. It was so from the colonel down to the last pri- vate. We smile in derision at the idea of a hoodoo, and yet we do not like to rub el- bows with people who are pursued with ill luck. The freshly graduated cadet knew nothing about the hoodoo when he was assigned to B troop. With a boy's ambition and impatience he had hurried from West Point and home into the wilds of the far west to take active service. There was no superstition about him. He heard of the fatalities, he saw the dispirited look of the remnant of the once gallant troop, be was made to realize that he was under a ban, an it were, but he was not disheartened, Army records will tell you what hap- pened at Fort Brown within a week after B troop rode through the gates. The in- fantry had been there for -three months, but not an Indian had been seen. A cor- poral and three men were sent to the foot- hills after fuel, when they fell into an am- buscade and were out off. The four troop- ers were mounted, and yet all were killed, while the teamster made a safe esoape on foot. This was the hoodoo again. That there might be no cavil about it a trooper hung himself in the barracks that night. Thus five more men wore wiped off the rolls within a week, and the troop reduced to 89. The colonel at Fort Brown had received the young officer half in welcome, half in pity. He know the history of B troop, and he realized that any connection with it must oast a shadow on the career of an officer. Had he been in command of the department be would hay. recommended that the troop be consolidated and its name lost on the rolls. Tho loss of the five men gave the colonel anxious thought. No ono could be held to blame. It was simply one of the fatalities whioh had so persistently pursued the troop. One day he got news whioh determined him on a pertain stop, and he sent for the young lieutenant and said: "A scout is in with the information that a band of hostiles is headed for Brown's Valley. That is where the pioneers who name along two weeks ago wore going to settle. I fear they will bo unprepared for an attack and will all be wiped out." "And you will gent B troop out to head the Indians offP" eagerly exclaimed the lieutenant. "If you could reach Panther gap, 80 miles away, before the hostiles, you might turn them back. If they get ahead of you" "I would push on after them and hope to save the settlers. I oan bo ready in 80 minutes." The oolonel was a man of 48, the lieu- tenant nob yet 23. The older officer looked out of the open window upon the sandy desert shimmering in the hot sun of July, and thought of the long ride -the fight whioh must surely take place. Then he looked at the boy and wondered how he would carry himself in hie first battle, whether hie men would stand by him, if it would be the last of B troop or the turn of its luck. He was both a soldier and a man, Ar a soldier ho desired to give a soldier a chance. As a man he feared to send out a boy like that where it needed an experienced bead. "You know the hoodoo," whispered the lieutenant. "The troop is slowly but sure T1 being wiped off the face of the earth. he men are objects of pity and sympathy and have almost become children. Let me go. I will either win a viotory or it will be the last of the troop." The spirit of the old soldier was stirred. Hehad given mange young soldieroppor- tunity to distinguish himself and but for the hoodoo he would not have hesitated in this case. Dispirited men, an officer who had never seen a hostile redskin, a hoodoo whioh had walked at company's heels like a ghost -it would simply be sending out more scalps for tho war party. He shook his head and deoided that the scout must ride hard and fast, but ride alone, and warn the pioneers of their danger. • "I beg of you -we all beg of youl" pleaded the lieutenant, with tears in his eyes. "Cavalry is needed to head those Indians off. If the settlers are wiped out, ft will be said that you thought us cow- ards and were afraid to order us out." "There will be 811 of yon and 100 of the Indians," said the colonel. "But we will turn them book, sir; we will fight them!" "And if they are too many for you?" "I know the history of the troop, sir," said the boy in trembling tones. "It has lost almost 70 men by desertion, suicide and skirmish. It has not lost a man in a real fight. They shall say of it in the next three days that it has won a fight or been wiped out. I would rather be lying dead there on the sands than to continue to serve in a troop whioh has not a single victory on its banners!" "You may go," said the colonel. "If it is a mistake, then God help mel Turn those Indians bank, and I will recommend you for promotion. If they are too many for you" - "Then you will know it by the buzzards hovering over the battlefield!" Half an hour later the 32 men of B troop rode out of Fort Brown and headed across the desert to the south. They were one of the arms of a V. The apex was Panther gap. As they moved along one arm the Indians would move along the other. The Indians had nearly a day's start, but their ace wouldels route was rougher and their p be slower. "There goes the last of B troop," whis- pered every soldier left behind as the troop- ers rode away, and as they said it they in- stinctively looked up at the flag as if ex- pecting to son it at half mast. The troopers had received that order without enthusiasm. They knew they were to make a hard ride and that a fight was probable, but they were neither ex- ultant nor despondent. Like the Arabs, they shrugged their shoulders and whis- pered "Kismet." They were in the hands of fate, and fate was likely to be against them. With scarcely a farewell and with never a look over their. shoulders they rode away, two by two, and it was not un- til long after dark that the boy officer at the head drew rein and ordered the camp for the night. Before they slept he said to them : "We shall be up and away at. the first signs of daylight. Men, listen to me. We are riding to reach Panther gap ahead of a war party of 100 {{ndiana. We shall get there first and beat•theln book or dio fight- ing. I have promised the colonel this. You have bad one disaster after another un- til your fellow soldiers sneer and pity and wonder if cowardice is not at the bottom of it. I dp not believe it is. I believe ev ery man of you to be game, and we will win a victory whioh shall place the old troop at the front!" A cheer buret from every man, the first oheering heard in Troop B for years. Each man drew himself up more proudly, each man muttered to himself that if need be he would die in his tracks. Their mind worked even as they slept, and when day- light came the officer looked from face to fano and wondered at the change. There was an eagerness to make him glad, a per- sonnel to make him proud. Breaking' camp as soon as it was light enough to see, the troop rode at a gallop until midfore- noon and reaohed the gap ahead of the hostiles. Only a short hour, though. Their horses had not yet oeased blowing when the advance of the Indians was made out. Panther gap war a narrow road through Panther mountain, and its southern end debouched into Brown's valley, five miles away. The boy officer' knew nothing of war, but common sense and his veteran sergeant suggested a breastwork across the entrance bo the gap. Ono was oonstructed of rocks and loge and stones, and it was hardly finished before the skirmishers of the war party were firing upon it. No man will ever read what is called "Cunningham's Defense" without his pulse quickening. Ono hundred and twen- ty-three Indians pressed forward against a force of 99 troopers, commanded by a boy. Three different times, once on horsebaok, the Indians charged right up to the breast- work, but each time were driven back with slaughter. The defenders did not escape death, however. When the lash charge was beaten back, eight of them were stretched out ou the rock soil, and there wero but 24 to fall back for a mile and build another breastwork. This move was necessitated by the Indians working up the sides of the mountain and securing a flank fire. The second breastwork was evacuated next morning for the same rea- son, and a mile in the roar of it another was built. When this had to be aban- doned, only ten men were left alive. When flanked out of their fourth de- fense, there were only five men. One of these was sent to the valley for help, but was headed off by the Indians. Of the other four, of whom the boy officer was one, they died at the fifth breastwork - died with carbines in their hands after firing their last cartridges, and died with obeora of defiance on their lips. Of the war party 62 were killed or wounded, and it was turned back. One day a B trooper was seen coming on foot across the sands. He lurched and staggered as he walked. Soldiers ran to meet hire and assist him into the fort. He had been without food or water for two days. Tho colonel looked at him for a long time without speaking. Then, with pale face and trembling lips, ho asked: "Lanigan, where is your officer -the troop?" And Lanigan straightened np, saluted and in a voice as hoarse as a raven's cry he replied: "I have to report, sir, that B troop has been wiped out to a man, and, God forgive me, but I'm that man 1 They are dead In the gap -all dead -all dead I" -Boston Transcript.
