Pair of Eyes That Were Unenrina Arklchlta a typical Indian was chief Scout at ort Sisseton Dakota in 1882 Although he knew English well he held the old Indian hatred of its use and would never speak it except under extraordinary circumstances He stood about five feet nine Inches in height was slender but wiry and was about 34 years of age Ordinarily he was slow and sedate in his actions very dignified but when the necessity arose he could be as quick as a flash and had like every Indian on the north western plains a pair of eyes that could equal any fieldglass His for he had been em ployed as a scout for some years had been very valuable to the government and in recognjtlon of this fact the offi cer in command had secured authority from the war department to promote him to the rank of sergeant conse quently he went around in a neat uni form with chevrons and stripes very much Impressed with his own impor tance which he considered second only to that of the commanding officer and he took care that every one else also should respect his rank and dignity As his native name is the Sioux for It is easily seen why he was so named but he had still another name which the Indians had given him before his entering military cir cles and that translated into English was the or from his absolutely marvelous ability to find the trail of anything that left even the slightest trace on the ground as it passed over it A desperate soldier named Brice broke jail one night and was pursued the following morning The trail led to the west for a trifle over a mile then it turned north for a quarter of a mile and we fallowed until we came to a tree at the edge of a slough to the northwest of the fort called the "gar den bar Here Arkichita point ed under the tree and said Brice had lain down there to rest The trail here led into the slough A Dakota is a shallow lake the water of which is from six inches to three feet deep with a soft muddy bottom but not generally miry The center of the slough is usually free from grasses or weeds but along the edges from 20 to 60 yards out long tule grass grows This particular slough was a mile long and varied from an eighth to a quarter of a mile in width and there was a foot of water covering as much soft mud During the night the wind had roiled the water up considerably It seemed hardly possible to track any thing through it except where the tule had been broken down Where that was the case even 1 could follow the trail on reaching open water however the case was different The eastern end of the slough reached to a point near the fort not more than 150 yards from a brickyard on which was a kiln that had been built during ithe summer The kiln was now ready for firing Once I thought Arkichita was baffled after all he had come to a dead stand still near the tule Then an inspiration struck me perhaps by a circle I coukl find the trail Happy thought! I put it into immediate execution and found one Rather elated at my success 1 called quick heap He came over took one look just the sug gestion of a smile played on his face as he said I did no more trailing but under stood what was bothering him The post herd also bad waded through here since escape and it took all the endless patience and wonderful eyesight to keep the trail where the cUttiTiad through it The grass stem was of no use here We had passed over half the slough in this circuitous route when sudden ly Arkichita started straight as the crow flies for the edge of the slough near the brickkiln Was he following the trail? On he went until he came to the shore nearest the kiln here he stopped evidently bothered again There was a scarcely discernible footprint in the mud and water right at the edge of the slough apparently the last step the de serter had taken before reaching hard ground This footprint showed the toes so the deserter was now barefooted Another thing about this print was its direction it stood at right angles to the line previously followed Eithertlie man had taken a sideward spring for the land from his right foot or he had turned around and started back over his own trail Arkichita went down on his knees and' inspected the grass blade by blade I kept a respectful distance at one side astonished at the turn the affair had taken Now inch by inch on his knees he wrenched the secret from the apparently unwilling surface of the earth Eighty yards from the kiln he looked up and glanced at It The same idea evidently instantly occur red to both of us Tho trail was lead ing to the kiln! Then he rose and bending over slowly advanced to the edge of the brickyard After reaching the yard' ArkichitaTalked slowly around the outer edge of it examining the ground with the utmost care until be came to the point from which be started when he said come in no go out man in pointing to the kiln And circumstances proved him to be right though it was 36 hours before the fugitive was located in the kiln and Lieutenant Bennett A in St Nicholas The Yankee Joker Abroad A story on the fraudulent conferring of degrees is told in the London Post which while it may not be strictly ac curate is not without Interest It seems that a chimney sweep took proceedings against an Edinburgh man for debt and in the course of his evidence the sweep mentioned that his name was Gregory LL The following colloquy ensued between the witness and the sheriff: doctor of laws or letters?
