Dance with him till Burleigh sends a couple of colored waiters to take him from your embrace and carry him off to bed." She made a gesture of rage and disgust, and went straight to her room. Sibley, in the mean time, paid a lengthened visit to his brandy, and having already passed the point of discretion, drank recklessly.
A truce was entered into until nine o'clock the next morning, which was afterward extended to twenty-four hours, and under which Sibley with his demoralized forces fell back to Santa Fe, laying that town under tribute to supply his forces. The 29th was spent in burying the dead, as well as those of the Confederates which they left on the field, and caring for the wounded.
Miss Burton's cheek flushed deeply and resentfully as she heard the circumstances in which her name had been spoken, and she said with emphasis: "Mr. Van Berg impressed me as a chivalric man from the first day of our meeting. But I wish he had paid no heed to the words of such a creature as Mr. Sibley.
Does not the Harvard professor of to-day always dine in a dress coat? Is he not free from every eccentricity? Do the students ever call him "Benny" or "Tobie"? Is any "Old Soph" now ambulant on the college green? Is not the administration of the library a combination of liberality and correctness? Is such a librarian as John Langdon Sibley possible? Mr.

"You do not go to church very often at Sibley, do you?"

I have been basely accepting a gratitude that rightly belongs to him, and I assure you he is in far more danger from Sibley than I am."
He searched in his bosom, under the tattered waist, drew out the rag-wound paper and handed it to the commanding officer. Very carefully the latter read it, his interest growing with every line. Finally, giving it over to the lieutenant, he smiled at Squaw Charley. "That tells the tale," he said. "I knew the man that wrote that when I was with Sibley in Minnesota, the summer after the massacre.

Just then the Overland Telegraph Company was started in San Francisco. It and Sibley united, breaking ground July 1, 1861, and proceeding at the rate of nearly ten miles of wire per day.
Deely made a motion like a swoop of an aeroplane to earth "and here he is buckin' about like a rough-neck same as you and me; but yet a gent, a swell, a cream della cream, that's turned his back on a lady a lady not his own wife, that's my sure and sacred belief."
