"Quite," was the decisive reply. "How do you reconcile that with what has passed today between Lady Ogram and me?" "It was between Lady Ogram and you," said Constance, subduing her voice. "I see.
The report of the Secretary of War shows that the Army has been actively employed during the year in subduing, at the request of the Indian Bureau, certain wild bands of the Sioux Indian Nation and in preserving the peace at the South during the election.
The turban is little used by these people, skull-caps being preferred, while their red cloth gun-cases are commonly twisted turban-wise as head-gear, though often a camel's-hair cord is deemed sufficient protection for the head.
