Should there be mooulight, tue exter- | prise would be made more perilous—- | doubly more. Doubly more shuld) there be moonlight—why need ! form au hypothesis? Moonlight there would! be to a certainty. It was the midcle| term of the lavar mouth, and the mooa! would be up almost as the sun went} down—full, round, aud almost as bright) as he, with no cloud to cover her face— | to shroud the earth frem her white diaphauous light. Certainly there » ould be mooulight! on
Well thought of was that disguise! Well spant was our labor in making il so perfect! Under the moonlight, to it} only could I crust. By it only might 1) expect to preserve my incognito.
But the eye of the Indian savage }s sharp, and his perception keen—ualmost as instinct itself. I could not rely much upon my borrowed plumes, should apcech be required from me. Just on account of the cuauing imitation, the perfeciness of the pattern, some of the friends of the origival model might hare business with me—might approach aud address me. I knew not a word of Comanche—hew should I escape from the colloquy ?
Such theugits were troubling me as we rode along the trail.
Night was near—the sun's lorn rival restéd on the far horizon of the west- the hour was an anxious one to me.

The scouts had been for some time in advance, without return- ing to report; and we had _ halted)
in @ copse to wait for them. A high hiil |
ras before us, wooded only at the sum-| mit. Over this hill the war trail led. } We had observed the scouts to go into} the timber, and we kept our eyes upon the spot, waiting for their return,
Presently, one of them appeared just outside the edge of the woods. Garey we saw it was. He made sigus to us to} come on.
We rode up to the hill, and entered | among the trees. Here we diverged | from the trail. through the trunks, over the high sum-| mit. Oa the other side the wood ex | tended only a little ‘below, but we did net ride beyond it. We halted before coming to its edge, and, dismounting, tied our horses to the trees.
We crept forward-on our hands and knees, till we had reached the outmost verge of the timber. Through the leaves we peered, looking down iuto the plain beyoud. We saw smokes and fires. and a skio lodge iu their midst. We saw dark forms arcund—meu moving over the ground, and horses with their heads to the grass. We were leoking upon the Comanche camp.
CHAPTER LXXXVI.
THE COMANCHE CAMP.
We had reached our ground just at the moment I had desired. It was twi- light—dark enough te render ourselves inconspicuous under the additional sha- dow of the trees, yet sufficiently ciear to allow a. full reconnoisance of the enemy's position. Our point of view was a good one—under a siugle coup d’ vil commanding the encampment, anda vast extent of country around it. The hill we had climbed-—a sort of isolated batte-—-was the only eminence of any. considerable elevatiou for miles around, aud the site of the, camp was upon the plain that stretched away from its base, apparently beyond limit.
This plain was what is termed a pecan” prairie—that is a prairie half covered with groves, copses aud lists of woodland, in which the predominating tree is the petan, a species o: hickory, bearing ov oval edible nut of commercial valne (Carya olivifoamis). Betweea the pores and “mottes” of timber single trees stood apart, their heads fully developed by the free play given to their branches. These park-locking trees, with the coppice-like groves of the pecan, Jent au air of high civilization to the landscape, and the winding stream, whose water under the still lingering rays glistened with the sheen of silver, added to the deception. Withal, it was a wilderness—a beautiful wilderness. Human hands had never planted those | groves—human agency bad naught to! do with the formation of adorument.of| that lovely landscape.
Upon the bank of the stream, and about half a mile fromthe base of the hill, stood the Indian camp. A glance at the position showed how well it had been chosen—net so munch for defence, as to protect it against a sur- prise
Assuming the lodge —there was but oue- asthe centre of the camp, it was placed upon the edge of a small grove, od froviing the stream. From the tevt to the water’s edge, the plain sloped | geutly dowuward like the glacis of a’
