Maidering the record of one of the finest cavalry regiments in her Ma- jesty's service it seems curious that it should be absolutely unknown be- yond the limits of Canada. To join the "riders of the plains" you must be of a girth and stature which Provide-nee has withheld from most of the applicants; you must be able to speak French or English. read and write passably, and above all things show testimonials of good moral char- acter. You may be a retired horse- thlet. a starving tramp, a fugitive Iran the United States Marshals, a broken-down gentleman, or ahueallhy young farm lad from Eastern Canada; the letters testimonial may have been given by your friends and the clergy to get rid of you; but “a good moral character" is indispensable. In my time a third of the crowd were bro- ken-down gentlemen. many with titles or a. purser's name; a. third were Can- adian bucolics; the rest promiscuous desperadoes, old soldiers,(onboys.sailâ€" ore and hellrake adventurers from ALL ENDS OF THE EARTH.

I doubt if we ever worked hard enough.

The horse was a half-broken broncho rais- ed under the shadow of the Rocking, a humorous breast standing say fif- teen hands, with all the vices and an artistic thoroughness in bucking. The saddle weighed 40 pounds. and was of the Mexican type, high in horn and cantle, with broad-webbed cinchas in- stead of the English girth. I h "vvw.. *___v‘ _ Apart from headquarters. at Regine which was only meant for the chasten- ing of recruits, we numbered four troups, each with a tract like France to keep in order. If there were barracks we built them and walled them round with a stockade commanded by two bastions on the alternate corners.

On Monday one would drive a wagon; on Tuesday, wash dishes for the cook; on \Vedne's'd-ay clean stables; on Thursday, drill; on Friday, mount regimental guard, 03- cort prisoners and spend most of the night par‘ifying horse fights, making a round of the harrack stoves, and taking temperature readings on fly- ing sentry. That was a sample of winter duty in 'barrazrks when the midnight ther- mometer stood at 50 to 65 degrees lee- low zero, or refusedâ€"duty altogether on account of the cold. Even in the depth of the wonderful. DELIGJI '1‘]? U L WINTER when the air made one drunk. and run- ning a couple of miles meant scarcely an effort, there was an occasional trip on duty. The uniform then was a black fur cap, a short buffalo coatâ€" now changed to bearskin because the bison is gone the way of , all flesh â€"long stockings, deerskin shoes, call- ed. moccasins, and mittens or finger- less gloves. A light hardwood sledge was used for traveling the jumper; but woe to the idiot lazy enough to spend the day in it! One must trot along- side until every finger tingled with warmth before it was safe to rest. There was more than frost-bite to fearâ€"the chilling of the brain and of vital organs, delirium, ooma, death. Even recovery from the braiwchillwas a sorrowful tragedy enoughâ€"the in- tellect unbalanced. the head drooped, the langour lasting through monthsor even a year or two, which took away all ambition. virility. and active man- hood. But death? Well. we were very hard to kill. and I only know 0‘7; one case when the searchers came too late. The winter is terribly beautiful when the immeasurable spaces of the plains lie glistening under the moonlight; when the red sun rolls up over the edge of the world. and the steel-blue mists flush. like the petals of a wild rose; in the infernal, Lewildering horror of the blizzard; in the deathâ€"hush of the eeening, or when the northern lights march blazing up the heavens like le- gions‘upon legions of armed angels. Spring was displeasing because the sun sends up a damp heat from the snow which causes blindness, with a great deal of pain worse than tooth- ache. Also, there were the setting- up drills when we had to wear uniform and play at soldiers for a whole month probably because the officer commandâ€" ing wanted to make himself detestable. We always put down the drill: to his personal spite. But them came the summer which was too good to talk about. We were scattered out on to the plains visit- ing the Indian reserves, chasing horse- thieves, patrolling the 900 miles of the United States boundaryâ€"a life of hard work, hot. dusty trails, lonely out- posts, of bathing. hunting. growling viciously; of tents and bivouec. riotous rows in the villages, and all the fun in the world. There was no soldier- ing save for the clipped tails of the horses, the police outfit made us look like a. party of wandering COWBOYS OR DESPERADOES. We were brown as Indians, dusty, hungry ,thirsty. dressed anyhow in the frontier clothes which put. civilized gear to shame. because they are beau- Liful. To keep the country in order? Why we caused more trouble than the 23,000 Indians and the twenty odd thousand settlers put together! But getting in- to trouble was our privilege. our mon- opoly; notody else was allowed to mis- behaveâ€"we saw to it. The Great Plains, 900 miles by 500. a country as big as Western Europe, was kept as peaceable as an English country par- ish. No civilian carried arms for self- defense, because if the law was broken the fugitive was hunted down, if it took months. He might fly to the northern forest; but he would be track- ed and delivered in serviceable condi- tion for the common use as a jail-bird. Once, when some criminals took refuge in the United States, they were follow- ed in defiance of law and treaty. for 160 miles into Montana, to be turned into jail~birds without the great Am- erican nation being any the wiser. There is but one thing on this planet longer than the equator. and that is the arm of British justice. Once only we failed to keep the mas- tery of the plains. Under one Louis Riel, a religious monomaniao who claimed divine attributes, the French Canadian half-breeds. the old voyag- eurs of the fur trade. led half the Red Indian trites to war against us. The rampa‘gn was long and bloody. indeed all the power of Canada had to be brought to our aid; but in face of ov- erwhelming numbers the insurrection wee stumped pedwut the leader judicious- ly hanged dand the peace restored. on that lane from virtue the force is with’qut a history; only die- I have never need any body of man no thorouhlv alive 0.: the mountod oo- lice. Big Bear. last of the rebel chiefs had just been taken single-handed by Constable “Sligo” Kerr. and his 180 pureuers were coming down out of the Northern forest. There for weeks they had kept themselves alive by hunting rabbits, many at the horses had starved to death, and the whole crowd seemed worn out, hopelessly dis- couraged. Suddenly it occurred to somebody in the ranks that this was the 24th of May. “Queen’s birthday!" he yelled flinging his slouch hat in the air. A man behind him drew his revolver and tired. so down came the hat with a bullet hole in the crown. Every hat went up, all came down rid- dled. Then the fusillade was drowned in a volley of cheering, and that in turn by ‘ Many a. time have I known the add vanoe guard to stint a_song, file wagf one to take up the chorus. the rear guard to join in behind, until the plains rang with‘ music. In :camp and barracks it was the sameâ€"the song, the chorus, the riotous fight with belts. There was a. total prohibition of li- quor throughout the territories, by which it became incumbent upon the force to drink or destroy all liquor population should be demoralized. But our ambitions were not confined to noise or liquor. One man would farm pigs. another trade in cigars, a third edit the loal paper. and a. fourth add to his pay by making water-color to his pay by mam: skebches for the nest. Arrests of criminals are often com- plicated and exciting. Some years ago, Deerfoot, a well-known Indian athlete was wanted for killing peogile but resisted arrest, defying three Con- stables with an ax. A Con-stable is not allowed to bring in prisoners dead, that being contrary to a regimental order on the subject and punishable with three ,months in the guard room. Deerfoot was allowed to escape, and that also is punishable with three months' imprisonment. Some time after an interpreter atâ€" tached to the force camping over night at a trader's cabin was told that [Teerfoot had set Up his lodge in a mea- dow close by. The Indians had. in- deed, shown a poster to the trader ad- vertising him, Deerfoot, alias Dried Meat, to run in the skating rink at Calgary. Next morning the interpre- ter walked over to the lodge watched the young Indian running to drive in the ponies for travel, compared him with a photograph of the man wanted, called him up, and arrested him. The Indian dodged out of his blanket, broke away. yelled to his squaw, who fetched out his rifle from the tepee, tent. and gained the abrupt bank of a rivulet close by. Meanwhile the interpreter had fired once, seeming] y without “reaching his meat." 0n the top of the hank the Indian danced his little war dance, prayed to his gods, took cover and leveled his rifle. When the white man charged up the bank the Indian ran. He ran two miles, going to cover at last in a farm house. where. he sat down by the stove. Until he actually entered the interpreter nev- er guessed that this Indian who had heate'n him in a two-mile race was desperately wounded in the thigh. Cur- iously enough, this was not the man who was wanted for murder. It trans-:- pired that there were two Indian run- ners named Weerfoot, of the same age and stature, the one called “Dried Meet." the other called “Putrid Dried Meat." The prisoner was PENSIONED FOR LIFE. On May 31. 1897, a report came from Duck Lake. in Saskatchewan, that an I‘ndian, whose name was “Almighty Voime." had shot a nonâ€"commissioned officer named Bowringe, from ambush and also a settler named Venne, who was brought to the Duck Lake detach- ment station. wounded in the shoulder. Next morning the detachment located “Almighty Voice." in a bunch of tim- ber, where he was aided and abetted by other Indians. In the dispute which followed Con-stable Kerr and a volunteer named Gaudry were killed. Corp. Hocking mortally wounded. In- spector Allen and Surgeon Raven wounded. and one Indian killed. A afield cu‘n being sent for, the occupants of the timber were severely inoommoâ€" ded. “Almighty Voice," and another Indian being killed. ‘_ - --"'Ivv From Manitoba to the Rocky Mounâ€" tain-3. from the Montana border to the Arctic. the British peace is in the hands of that grand cavalry.

The town of Batoum, with its fourâ€" teen thousand to fifteen thousand in- habitants, is built on a projecting tongue of land, some few miles north of the mouth of the River Tchnruk. Almost immediately Lehind the town lies a large dreary-looking swamp, stretching back ta the hills that run almost parallel with the seashore. This swamp is a veritable hotbed of mal- aria, and it is said that few Buroyeans visit Batoum for the first time with- out being attacked by the intermit- tent fevers or agues that infest the district. Under Russian rule Batoum has rapidly developed, and were it not for the groups of Turks, Armenians, Ta- jiks, Ciscassians, Georgians, Mongols, and Tartans that throng the streets one could easily imagine one’s self in a Euroyean town. A broad chaussee, that has only recently l‘een construct- ed, runs along the sea front. The old wooden Turkish houses have nearly all been supplanted by substantial stone buildings, while commodious quays and warehouses have sprung up on r~ “ . side.
