Anthony Wayne start- *' ed his campaign against the hostile tribes of the Old Northwest in 1793, he resolved not to be taken by surprise by the enemy as his predecessor, Gen. Arthur $t. Clair, had been two years before. Therefore, he "employed a number of the best woodsmen the frontier afforded1, to act as rangers." He gave command of this force of some 40 men to Capt. Ephraim Kibby, a native of New Jersey who had been one of the first settlers near Cincinnati after the Revolution, a hunter for the garrison at Fort Washington and a scout for St. Clair. Skilled as were Kibby and his rangers in woodcraft and valuable as they were to Wayne as scouts, the elite of the company was a "division of spies" composed of less than a dozen men. Capt. William Wells, a Kentucklan, commanded them, and the others were Robert McLelland, Henry Miller, and four others identified only by their last names--May, Hickman, Mahaffy and Thorp. "Captain Wells and his companions were confidential and privileged gentlemen in camp, who were only called upon to do duty upon very particular and interesting occasions," says one of the historians of that period. "They were permitted a carte blanche anions the horses of the dragoons, and when upon duty, went well mounted; whilst the rangers commanded by . Captain Kibby went on foot." One reason for this favoritism was that three of them, Wells, Miller and May, had been "white Indians"--returned captives who" could assume the dress and speak the tongue of the red men so well as to deceive any Indian they met, thus increasing their value as spies. Miller had a younger brother, Christopher, who was still held by the Indians and by a remarkable coincidence, one of his first spying expeditions, when he, Wells and McLelland. were sent out by Wayne to bring in a prisoner for questioning, resulted in the capture of an Indian who turned out to be his brother! Christopher later became one of Wells' spies. "After thar, "the ""Millers, Hickman, MahafF.v and Thorp drop out of history, but two of the others were marked for future fame--McLelland as a fur trader on the Missouri and an employee of the American Fur company whose deeds are immortalized in Washington Irving's "Astoria"; and Wells as Indian agent at Fort Wayne and hero of the Fort Dearborn massacre in 1812 when his devotion to his niece, Ilebekah lleald, led him to the dehth which he knew awaited him on the shores of Lake Michigan.,; V ^"Mtern N*w«fia[>*rUat«a. DISAPPOINT. p. 86 By R. H. WILKINSON tk Bell ayndlcaU.--WNU service. LYSE knew she shouldn't have come. She was at once glad arid afraid. It.seemed somehow like a dream; incredible. v Something she had longed for all her life, yet never believed would hippen. Ross Carthage sat at her elbow. His arm touched hers. Yet it was the proximity of him, the power of his personality, rather than the physical contact that electrified her. . He was a glamorous figure, glamor* ous and romantic, f-;' In this she had not beta disap-' pointed. Long, long ago--it semed like ages, though was in reality a mere ten months--she had sat In an audience in a great auditorium and heard hi a pitw. .\- j--- And today mofe tEiei'n Hon, .- He was young and handsome and tall and slim. / , ' ; ' ( ' He had" poistf and* personality and charming manners. In fact the man possessed everything that you would expect to find In a brilliant young artist--everything that t girl like Alyse, who was younger still and dedTurely beautiful, longed to And. , • • * . ..' ' : Their .meeting had been quite by lliauce. Alyse, herself a student of piano, had been Invited to attend an informal gathering at the apartment of Monty Blair. Monty knew everyone, and he ver threw a party without lnvitln, .introducing some great celebrity, which feature of his affairs was always a delight to the regular guests. And on this night the guest of honor had been Ross Carthage. Alyse had danced with the great artist, and later she had spent an hour In a secluded corner talking with lilro, or rather she had sat there witjj an enraptured look on her face while Carthage talked. And now, only a week later, she was going with him to his apartment. There would be no one else there. They would be alone; Ross had promised to play for her . . , • e • It wa# an old trick. Alyse knew it was an old trick. The famous artist inveigling the de- Mtt and pretty young girl to his apartment on the pretext of displaying his talents for her special benefit. Alyse - shuddered slightly at tbe thought. She was afraid, yet she .was glad she had agreed to come. It was a brand new experience, the sort of experience that every girl ought to have In order to get along in the world. She wasn't fool enough to let herself believe that Ross Carthage was Interested in her alone, that there hadfc't been other girls. She knew his game, understood his purpose. Whatever happened was ^he result of her own doing. 5 v ' • e •. The limousine drew to a stop before an apartment house. A footman opened the door. Ross Carthage, smiling that whimsical smile of his that had been the means of bringing hundreds of women to his .feet, helped her to the street They entered the elevator and were whisked to an upper floor. Ross led the way to a door In the main corridor, unlocked it, stepped aside and allowed her to enter. Alyse's little gasp of delight was genuine. She hadn't believed that apartments like this existed outside of books. If, in a moment of day dreaming, she had ever allowed her Imagination tft conjure up a picture of an idealisfic abode, the result would not hayeequaled this reality. Nothing was overdone; nowhere was there an addition of gaudiness or incongruity. The appointments and arrangements of rooms were, in the finest sense of the word, the work of an artist. • e • Alyse turned at last and saw Ross standing there at her elbow, looking down at her, smiling. She remembered then where she was and what was before her. For one fleeting Instant she fought a desire to turn and leave the placed ashamed of her own audacity. Itut the impulse.passed. She surrendered her wrap and, striving mightily to present a casual attitude, made herself comfortable on the long divan before the open grate. Carthage went to a cabinet and produced bottles and glasses. • ' He mixed drinks and talked to her of commonplace things. • ~ And then at last they had drunk their toast and looked Into each other's eyes, and the evening had begun. . • "Shall 1 play row V Alyse nodded, feeling the warm glow of the liquor in her veins. He strode over to the piano, ran his fingers over the keys, swung Into a dreamy lullaby. Alyse closed her eyes, lay back her bead.

Involuntarily she started. It wag over. The dream had ended. - This was reality. She steeled herself for what was'tft come, regretftil now that the beauty of„the moment had passed that sh% like dozens of others, had succumbed, to this man's charms. Looking at him it was not difficult to understand the reason. He was truly a romantic figuref handsome, glamorous, possessed of tti«ap.; artistic qtutiujtaji. *g. seek in their men. It was a pity, ttiought Alyse, that h# lacked in those fundamentals which are, after all, the requisites of thingji thftt arp worth striving for--love art* happiness and a home. He lived only for the hour, only "fot the thrili and sweet bliss of tlie mg» mentary worship *nd Surrender beautiful women. • * • "Did you enjoy my playing!* "Yes, it was gorgeous." "I'm glad. You have a real elation of beauty." Preliminaries! Flattery 1 Trickery;! Alyse's heart began to poling. She was afraid and regretful: ; She prayed for the strength to resist him. "It is a pity," Carthage was say(n§7 his deep rich voice, "that the houi- Is late. That I can't play for yot| longer. I'd like nothing better. "It is a long time since 1 have foun4[ a person with so deep a sense of , u# derstanding." He stood up, glancing tit bis wfctct|j "Come. Shall we go?" ' - Alyse stared. She wondered if it were not still ft dfeam, if the thing could possibly bft true. Yes, there he was, standing at the foot of the divan, her wrap draped over his arm. She stood up, allowed him to placft the wrap about her shoulders, daze<V incredulous, conscious of a Strang# new emotion. An emotion that defied explanation^ • * * He led her to the door.- They descended to tbe Street and stepped into the car ttuit waited there. They drove back through the city tft Alyse's home. Sitting there, Alysft was still unbelieving. -- Beside her Ross Carthage chattel amiably and wondered at her muta» ness. Presently he suspected she had beeftr disappointed in his playing, sensep that he had not pleased her. ^ The thought sobered him and hi too fell silent. " - There was a brief moment beforf Alyse's door.' ' She tried to tbank him, struggled for words to express her gratitude knowing only that she was making ft mess of the thing, realising that hftdidn't understand. And when at last he had gone, shft turned away, entered the dim hallway of her own apartment and sat dowft on a settee there for a moment or tyft to think. She was striving to analyze tbft strange emotion that had gripped her the moment Ross Carthage had led heg from his apartment. And at length the answer came. The emotion was that of disappoints ment.
