GARBY’S RIDE.
It was Garry himself told me the story ;
Garry, as I always called him, but whom the
reader will know better if I introduce him
as Lieutenant Walter Garry of the United
States cavalry. A strange character for one
so young ; and when I state that he is just
my age, the reader will I of course under.
stand all about that. He was made for n
soldier in both mind and body; he is tall,
straight, strong and active, afraid of nothing
that ever could or did go abroad on earth.
He was on old companion in arms of mine,
and I served with him in an infantry regi-
ment until his extraordinary skill and ad-
dress as n-horsemnn become known, and be
After that I did not see him often, though
the chance of serviée threw us together now
and then. I expecled to hear of his promo-
tion, but never did, and at last, when the
close of the war came and he was mustered
out of the some grade that he was mustered
into, I had the curiosity to ask General -——
(vou may fill the blank with a name well
known to fame) how it happened that Garry
got up promotion.
“There’s not a more dashing ofllcer in all
done things under my eye on the battle
field worthy of old Murat himself, and I have
been a dozen times on the point of forward-
iugvhi's name for a majority, but I reluc-
tantly saw it 'would not do. Sir, he ham"
any more discretion or judn‘ment than my
two year old boy at home. His‘ Cumtcmpl
for danger is so thorough and inborn; that if
he had independent command of a regiment
or battalion he'd shatter it all to pieces the
very first chance he got to put himself at the
head ‘of it and, burl it against a whole
division of the enemy. I've recommended
him for a subnltern's position in the regular
army. which I’liope he'll get, but bang me
if I think he’ll ever’ rise higher than that.
He’s too brave for a soldier. he’s reckless.
Not a safe mun, sir, to cntrust'with the lives
and limbs .F’f a great many men, nutwith-
standing his bravery.”
This was the man who unexpectedly
visited me the other day. He had come
East on a leave of absence, and took some
trouble'to hunt me out. I was delighted to
see him, and made him remain somedays
with me, during which we talked over our
experience in the war. After that he told;
me a great deal about hislife on the Western
outposts, where he had been almost five
years. including. many Indian fights and
other adventures, which may be well wor h
recounting at some future time.
My present intention is to relate one of
his exploits which thoroughly illustrates the
man, pad perfectly confirms the general’s
estimate of him. I will endeavor to put it.
in Garry’s own language.
When my regiment first went west it was
distributed. among four posts on :1 line of
about forty miles in length, and nearly with
solitary region, and us it ubounded in game,
it was a favorite Indian hunting-ground.
The savages did not otlen entorit in any

at least the man she considers the best.
What do you say ?”
The novelty of the thing, and the perfect
condor of the captain charmed me ; w:
shook handsover the compact, and brougha
onto. bottle of wine to clinch it. And that
being Wednesday, I began the evening by
visiting, Minnie.
Well, the rivalry was kept up brisklyfm
over rive months. during which time it was
hard to tell which was the favored suitor

ofa copper. It hurt me some, of course;
b‘uII bare it very well, and made out to
congratulate my ‘rivul on his success, as I
knew he would have done if our positions
had been reversed. -
Soon atler Captain Cross reported for duty
jandlwns'ordered hack to-Fort Bclknup,
much to my relief. .
. Just as I‘ was riding away from headquar-
ters with my escort, Captain Barker cumt
out and detained me‘a few minutes. He told
me he was to, marry Minnie there at the for: ‘
in just three months from that any, anti
wanted me to promise him sacredly'lhat I
would be there-lo staud'up with him. I.
was her wish also, he said. ,I ‘
I told him I would come.
“If you don’t,” be said, lifting his tinge;
warningly as he shook my hand again, “Ii
you don’t, nothing will induce me to believr
that you have kept no bitterness from thi:
rivalry.” . ' g '
I think if the good fellow had anticipatt d
the perils that those farewell words were to.
urge me into, he would haveput them less
strongly.
This was the first day of July. I returned
toFort Bulkuap. and the next two months
passed without anything unusual or notice- ,
able. Then there was a train of quarter-
master’s stores to. be escorted to spent a
great distance north of us, through a country
ubouuding with hostile Indians. My enm-
puny was one of the three detailed to guard
it. We had a tolerable time, with as man;
as a dozen fights with the redskins, and lost
eight men. It was bad and dangerOus duty.
and we were more than four weeks per-'
forming it. ‘
We reached Bclknap on the morning 0
the first day of October. At nine o’clocl-
that evening Captain Barker and Minnie
March were to be married at Fort Hooker.
I entered the quarters and found nuote
from the captaingdated a week back. In it
he reminded me of my promise,aud earnest-
ly enlreatcd me not to break it. "-It will
be a drawback fo the pleuSure of the wholi
affair if you are absent," he concluded.
I looklhe note in my hand and went iv-
the quarters of our major, who commanded
here, I explained the matter to him, and
considerable bodies; they came in com-
panies of six or a dozen, and sometimes
about the forts. Their professed business
was to hunt. but they were never above
stealing a horse or a beef, When they could
do so without being caught in the act,
F'i'rtbermore—although their tribe was nom-
‘iually at peace with us, and such an attack
On any of our posts was not feared or ex-
pected—we had full opportunity to find out
all about the treacherOus nature of the
scamps.
One of the men went out into the bushes
a few hundred yards from Fort Belknnp,
one day, and was found there the next day
by a party that was sent after him, with an
arrow through his body and the top of his
head gone. He was dead of course. “not

.The colonel’s blood was up the minute he
heard it. He happened to be at Bell; nap at
the time; although that was not headquar-
ters; and he immediately dispatched one of
the compauus some sixty miles south, to
the principal village of this lribe,’with in-
structions to burn it und~kill every male In-
dian in it, if the murderers of poor Joslyn
Were not delivered up to us at once. .
After a good deal of parley with the chief.
the captain in command of the expedition
got hold of the fiends, two of them who had
done the deed, and brought them to Bel-
kunp, where the colonel had them both
hung. It. was the best and only thing to do
with them, of course ; but it was easy
enough for any one who knew anything of
Indian character to see that there was to be
trouble ahead with them. ‘
Fort Belknup was the most westerly 'Of
these posts. A line drawn due east from it
would puss through Fort Bissel, bearing
about a Inile north, and strike Fort Hooker.
Headquarters were at the latter place, where
four of the companies and most-of the regi-
mental staff were stationed.
My company was at the other end of the
line, at Fort Bellinap ; but as the captain of
.one of the headquarter companies was ab-
sent on a sick leave, and one lieutenant was
sick in quarters, and the other who under
arrest, I was detached to command the
company. For about six months. until the
return of Captain Cross relieved me,1 w s
. on duty at Fort Hooker.
This would have made ' no particular dif-
ference with me, and could hardly have led
to any unusual adventure, but for Minnie
March. And Miss Minnie did Play the very
dickens with me as you shall see.
She was the daughter of our colonel, and
with th rec or four officers' wives and daugh-
ters, she had been at ,this wild spot for'n
year. She wasnsplendid girl,und it was
pretty certain that some one would capture
her if she stayed long enough.
'First, llowcvel',sbe captured the whole
garrison ; every unmarried officer was after
her; she might have had her choice of the
lot. Captain Btlrker, howuvcr, 11nd dis-
tanced all of- them at the timeIcnrue to
Fort Hooker. '
What did I do but instantly full in love
with her, and pnv such devoted attention to"
her that Barker very‘ naturally became
jealous. But he was a noble fellow, Barker,
and behaved splendidly about this; better,
I believe, than I could have done in his
place. He walked into my. quarters one
morning—the morning uftbr I had out-
,»‘tnyed him at the colonel’s. where ,we met
killing on the daughter—and looking very
serious, but not at all angry, he said : .
“Garry, my boy, I wont to have a little
explanation about that young lady, you
see—"
“I deny your right to call me to account,"
I interrupted, rather warmly.
“Psllaw—don’t misunderstand me. Thelt‘

“I’ll take the risk, sir.” .
“W but; would you venture alone ‘2”
“I say I am ready to risk ll.”
“Well. I’m not then," returned the major.
“You’d never get there alive.”
“You don’t: forbid me trying it, sir, I
hope.”
‘f'l‘hat’s just what I do. Try it, and I'll.

I bowed and returned to my quarters, say-
ing nothing more, but thinkingeu great deal.
1 had determined to go before I asked leave;
:lud’the nlnjor’s refusal only stimulated my
determination. I-mlght get into lroubledisl
obeying orders ;- but I thought that, ends:
the circum~tunces, I could only rely on the
colonel to help me out. .
I sat “ down to think the matter over.
What the major had told me about the In-
dians made me, after all, somewhat dubiuu.
about undertaking this risky ride. I had
not a. horse of my own in condition to war
rant ; the best ones thutl mighlborrnw had
been quite used up by lhe late hard service;
and to attempt the journey without a flee:
animal was folly that I was not capable of
I thought the matter over till late in the
afternoon. and then at the last moment an
idea struck me. In one instant I resolved
how I would go. 'I put on Iuy belt with (Wt.
large revolvers in it, and walked out ion
the stable. The Officers’ horses were kept
by themselves in one row of stalls ; uni
pointing to one of them, I said to the man
who was just then in charge of them :
“Lend that animal outby the halter. Take
him out through the large gate, us if you
Were going to water him.’.' '
"Why, sir—," the mun exclaimed, almost
beyond speech by what beheard.
“Obey' me," I sternly interrupted. ~
I walked briskly toward the gate, and
looking over my shoulder I saw that he was
following me, leadinjfthe horse. We might"
meet the major ; there were two or throt-
phances out of a hundred in favor of it ; if
we had, my bold undertaking would haw
fullcn summarily to the ground, and I should
have found myself in close arrest. No such
mishap occurred. I passed out of. the giltt'
and returned the sent-inel’s salute ; I won.
three rods behind him and halted. Tilt

could have seen the animal you would llth
called him a hunfisomc creature as your
eyes ever rested on. He was perfect! y white,

full of fire, with a proud, wicked eye. and a.

“Slip off the halter when I say now," 1
said to the man, laying my hands lightly on
the long silver mane.
"Now I"
The halter came off ; with a quick bound,

llght of arrows sung around my ears, and :1
alvuge whoop from a chorus of throats-
:ouuded close to the road. I had carried a
pistol in my right hand since riding down
the first Indian; 0 self-cocking revolver.
mrrying a heavy ball; and as the horse
sprung away with new speed hour the fright-
t‘ul outburst, I fired it. six times into the”
woods. One redskin, at least, I bit,if I may
lodge from the painful howl that followed
the second shot, but you may be sure that!
I stopped to make no inquiries. I was
carried along at a mud, a furious pace, such
-lS I don’t think I should care totusb again.
One such ride ought to content any luau.
and I shall not be so unreasonable as to tie
sire another. .
1 met no more Indians, nor obstacles of
my kind ; I clung to my seat and spur.
ilong. The horse never once relaxed hi:
pnce‘in the whole distance. but he often in-
creased it by a sudden dosh. And if you‘ll
believe me, I was not frightened a bit from
the first, and I thoroughly enjoyed tin
novelty of the adventure; still, as I havc
said, one such ride is quite enough.
As I rode into the gate at the fort. I shoot;
rd my name, as I feared the sentry might
zire on me if his challenge was not obeyed.
l‘he horse came too hall on the parade
=ground, lrcnlbling and panting, slreakec
with sweat and fiecked with foam. Th:
hikers and men gathered round me as 1
.lismountcd, with exclumutions of astonish-
ment-at what they saw. Foremost among
:hem was captain Barker, who seized on
oy both band‘s with a hearty welcome.
“I am in time, I hope,"~I said.
"Plenty of it." he replied. “The clock
just struCk eight.” '
“ What‘s that sticking in your coat I” asked
Captain Cross.
It was only an Indian arrow. I believe I
did shudder a little then.
,Zl‘he marriage was celebrated at the hour
named, in proper style. I stood with “It
groom and kissed the bride, thinking that l
and earned this latter favor. , ‘
The horse was tractable and obedient other
that, and took the bit kindly. The colonel
rides him at present, and though he has lost
something of [is fire, he is still a proud,
handsome, and. fleet animal.
The major did prefer charges against me
knowledgmcnt oi the breach of discipline.
and on the Colonel’s request, lie-withdrew
them. ~ ' '
As for the Indians about there, we had
the satisfaction of destroying their-village
.sopu after, and a good man y of their braves
with it. I don’t think they will trouble us
any more.
