f scrapes of every conceivable
kind. He spoke English picked up about the agencies; had
influential friends and, in some clandestine way, received
occasional supplies of money that enabled him to take French leave
when he felt like it. He was sent back from Carlisle to Dakota as
irreclaimable, and after a year or two on his native heath,
reappeared among the haunts of civilization as one of Buffalo
Bill's warriors. Bill discharged him at Cincinnati and, at the
instance of the Indian Bureau, he was again placed at Carlisle,
only to repeat on a larger scale his earlier exploits and secure a
second transfer to the Plains, where his opportunities for
devilment were limited. Then Cody was induced to take him on again
by profuse promises of good behavior, which were kept until
Pennsylvania soil was reached two weeks ago, when he broke loose
again; was seen in store clothes around West Philadelphia for a few
days, plentifully supplied with money, and next he turned up in the
streets of Carlisle, where he assaulted an attache of the school,
whose life was barely saved by the prompt efforts of other Indian
students. Moreau escaped to Harrisburg, which he proceeded to paint
his favorite color that very night, and wound up the entertainment
by galloping away on the horse of a prominent official, who had
essayed to escort him back to Carlisle. It is believed that he is
now in hiding somewhere about the suburbs, and that an innate
propensity for devilment will speedily betray him to the clutches
of the law.

A few moments after reading this oddly interesting story the two friends
were in consultation with Mrs. Dade, who, in turn, called in Dr. Waller,
just returning from the hospital and a not too satisfactory visit to Mr.
Field. There had been a slight change for the better in the condition of
General Field that had enabled Dr. Lorain of Fort Russell and a local
physician to arrange for his speedy transfer to Cheyenne. This had in a
measure relieved the anxiety of Waller's patient, but never yet had the
veteran practitioner permitted him to know that he was practically a
prisoner as well as a patient. Waller feared the result on so
high-strung a temperament, and had made young Field believe that, when
strong and well enough to attempt the journey, he should be sent to Rock
Springs. Indeed, Dr. Waller had no intent
