Won't be long, now. Shall you
be here?"

"I think not. The Indians go to Standing Rock next week. I go with
them."

"Poor Charley!" said Fraser, huskily. "He won't go, poor old chap!"

"Hardly poor, Mr. Fraser." There was a triumphant ring in David Bond's
voice. "Few men gain as much as he by death."

"I know. Even the Captain's proud of him now."

They fell silent.

Now from the tent rows that replaced the barracks, rang out the trumpet,
sounding the day's last call. The two turned their heads to listen.

The call ended. The faint, wavering notes of the echo died away upon
river and bluff.

They turned back to the shack again--and saw its light go flickering
out.

THE END
