SPOTTED EAGLE'S PLUMES IN BLOODY WAR The Valor of a Sioux & Fight With the Aricknrees—Wounded and Rescaod - Terriblo March Through = Storm In Dakota. Around a comfortable camp fire we were sitting one night. The myriads of stars in the sky above were sparkling like diamonds. Except where the yellow firelight fell upon our white wall tents, ghostlike in the distanco, we seemed wrapped in a mantle of impenctrable darkness, writes Lieutenant Charles D. Rhodes in the Inter Ocean, Our horses, tied among the cottonwoods which lined the banks of the creck, were crunching in the nose bags their supper of corn and oats. Nothing else save the crack- ling of the fire and the occasional howl of a coyote far out on the praivie was to be heard. As he stolidly gazed at the blazing logs and puffed away at his cigaretto, I tried to guess old Spotted could not reconcile the mass of wrinkles which the firelight brought to view with what [ knew him to be—a man vigorous as a youth of 20 and one of the most un- tiring hunters among the great Sioux nation. “Bordeaux, ask Spotted old he is. The interpreter did so. thought a moment, removed cigarette from his mouth, smiled, and, with a grunt by way of exclamation point, made his reply Eagle how Old Spot “He says he is pretty old, but he doesn’t know how old,” responded the in- terpreter. This was about the reply I had ex- pected, for the Sioux ravely take note ot their ». They say with commendable frankness that when they ave young they do not care to know how old they are, and when they > old they do not want to know how old they have become. “Well, ask him, Bordeaux, to tell us something about himself: something that happened years ago, when there were but v white men about heve.” The interpreter complied, and then there was silence for a fow minutes while old Spot rolled a fresh cigavette from the bag that I passed him, This done, and a few deep pufls taken for inspiratien, the old man began with deep, guttural st tones, the following tale of his early life: In the Land of the Dakotas. Many years ago, when the great Da- kota nation ruled 'this country and allowed no white men to enter it, we went to war with the Avickarees, and that of it. the year that I had a hard time It was winter, and a very bad winter, too. But in those days the buf- falo w as the pine trees upon the mountain side; and we¢ had warm robes for everybody and plenty of meat for vbody: and even the boys could kill what was needed, with their bows and arrows. For the old men had told us how, many years before, four men of my tribe had killed a buffalo. And when they had skinned him and cut him open they found inside four whetstones. And each Indian took a whetstone and kept it, and after that the buffalo were plenti- ful in the Sioux country. And when the buffalo were near at hand the four whet- stones would swell up and grow larger; and wheén the buffalo were killed or had run o the whetstones would grow small again. And the “whetstones were kept in the tribe for many years. So that when we went to war against the Arickarees, even though it was in the middle of a terrible winter, we were not afraid of starving, or that our wives and children would starve while we were away. We started out with the snow upon the ground. The air and sky seemed filled with the whisperings of a storm, and our ponies refused at first to turn their heads away from camp. But the Avickarees had stolen many of our ponies and the hearts of our young men were strong to fight. After three d journey we camped on a little v where our scouts brought word of ti camp of the Arickavees, a day’s journc to the north. Then our chief warrior, Charge-on-the-Bear, said that it would be good to remain and rest until the fol- lowing sunset, when we would travel all night and strike the camp of our en- emies at duylight. A Night Attack, So we lay down to sleep with good hearts. But just before the sun came over the hills we were ourselves at- ked by the Arickarces, who tried at irst to stampede our ponies, yelling, shooting and setting the grass on fi But they did not succeed in running off our ponies, for we reached them in time to quiet them, and stopped the charg of our enemies with the bullets from our rifles. And then jumping on the backs ponies, we circled away from the prairic fire, meeting the Arickarces on the edge behind the smoke. And the 5 & hard one. we met our enemies face to face I saw a certain man among them whom I thought I would fight. So I rode toward him; but before I had gone far one of the Arickarees shot my horse in the leg, and he became erazy with the pain. He jumped and pitched, and tried to throw me off; and while I was con- trolling him as well as [ couid he sud- denly bolted with m raight at the war party of the Avickarees. Then [ thought my time had ¢ome, but I tried my best to turn the pony's head to the right or left. And as'1 circled toward the right one of the Awrickarees shot me through the left leg,'dnd the bullet went through the pony alsg, so that we fell to the ground togethe: As soon as we struck pulled myself loose fr the ground I m the dead pony, and, rising to my t, tried to run toward a little gully., But I no sooner rested my weight ou'my wounded leg than it gave way undér me and [ fell to the ground. And the Avickarees, see- ing my fall, gave a yell of triumph, for they counted my scalp as already in their belts. And lookinig in one diree- tion I saw the Avickarees charging down on me, yelling”’and brandishing their spears and war ¢fubs. Ana in the other direction, but fi'ther away, came my friends. a hail And they gave my enemies arrows and storm of bullets, o P dget o b st oo Li L JAY, MARCH ff. 1893 apears, and the rush of the Arickarces was stopped. But thoy were fighting all around me and T thought T would never come out of it all alive, A Forlorn Hope. Then, when the Arickarces were driven back, some of my friends bronght a pony and lifted me on him and led me out of the way. Finally, the Aricka van away and the fighting stopped: but we knew that that night there would be mourning in the tepees of our enemies, And as we started on our return it began to snow again and to grow bitter cold. The snow piled up in drifts and covered the \\-h.-L- country, while the outting northwest wind and the growing darknoess made everything that could be seen dim and white. The ravines be- came choked with snow and the men in front had to make a road for the others to follow. I was always the last man to pass through and my pony was led by the man in front. [tgrew colder and colder_ and T had to change moccasins every little while to keep my foet from freezing. About 8 o'clock in the even- ing came the worst time, It was still snowing hard and the piercing wind was blowing the snow in such clouds that cach one of us could scarcely see the man in front. We were afraid of getting separated and we kept continu- ally shouting so as to be able to keep together. The others took turns - ing my pony, and it was hard for them to do itand keep from freezing. Finally, I became tived of itall. [saw what a troublo [was and how I delayed their march. The pain in my leg was_be ing worse and worse and it was ha m- 'd o keep from freezing. So I told the two men just ahead of me to leave mo be- hind and goon and save themselye wherever I went, T had to die sometime, anyhow; why not now as well as any time?

Spotted Eagle velapsed into silence. The cottonwood logs had changed to glowing embers, and the measured pufl- ing of tobacco smoke from the inter- preter's lips was all that was heard. We were again passing through the stirring scenes that the old Indian had described with sueh simplicity. And Leould not but wonder at and admive the grand sclf-denial of the young Indian brave, who, wounded and benumbed with cold, had unselfishly offered to give up his lifo rather than remain an impediment to the salvation of his companions, and of the equally noble refusal of the chief warrior to leave the young Spotted Eagle to the awful fury’of the Dakota blizzard when the instinct of self-preservation was so strongly developed by the perils of the storm. Strange was it to learn such a_lesson of heroism from the lips of an_ illiterate Indian brave.
