I was all the time anxious to look up| said, appearing to

The sward that covered it was smooth as a mown meadow, and the edge line ef the tarf even and unbroken. Had I shown but my hand above it, it might have been seen in the clear white light. I dared not show either the hand or head.

I had advanced I kuow not how far, but I fancied I must be near the lixes. All the wey I had kept close under the left bank, which, as Rube had predicted, now rose a tull half yard above the water's line. This was a favorable cir- cumstance, and avother equally so was the fact that the moon on that—the eastern side—was yet low in the sky, and consequently the bank flung a broad black shadow that extended nearly half way cross the stream, In this shadow | walked ; and its friendly darkness ehel- tered both myself and my horse.

I fancied | must be near the lines, aud longed to reconnoitre them, but for the reason already given, dare not.

| was equally afraid to make any further advance; for that would be still more perilous. I had already noted the direction of the wind. It blew from the river. aud towards the camp; and should ] bring my horse opposite the line of the mustangs, | would then be directly to wiudward of them, and in danger from their keen nostrils. They would be almost certain to take up the scent of my steed, and utter their warning snorts. The breeze was light, but so much the worse. ‘There was sufficient te convey the smell, and not enough to drown the piuvging noise necessarily made by my horse moving through the water, with the hollow pounding of his hoofs upon the rocks at the bottom.

If I raised my head above the bavk, there was the danger of being observed ; if | advanced, the prospect was one of still greater peril.

For some moments I stood hesitating —uncertain as to whether I should leave my horse, or lead him a little further. I heard noises trom the camp, but they were wot distinct enough to guide.

{ looked back down the river with the hope of beiug able to calculate the dis- tance I had come, and by that means decide where I was. But my obser- vations furnished no data by which I could determine my position. With my eyes almost ou a level with the surface of the water, I ceuld not judge satisfac- torily of distance.

I turned my face up-stream, aud agaiu scrutinized the parapet line of the bank. Just then I saw an object over the edge, that answered well to guide me. It was the coup and hip bones of a horse—one of the mustangs staked near the bank. I saw neither the head nor shoulders of the animal. Its hiod quarters were towards the stream. Ita head was to the grass—it was browsing.

The sight gratified me: the mustang was full two hundred yards above the point [I had reached. I knew that its position marked the outer line ef the

encampment. [ was just in the place where I wanted to be—about two hund- red yards from their lines—just at the distance I desired to leave my horse.

Thad taken the precaution to briog with me my picket pin—one of the esaentials of the prairie traveller. It was the work of a moment to delve it into the bauk. I needed not to drive it with violence: my well-trained steed never broke fasteuing, however slight. With him the stake was only a sign that he was not free to wander,

In a moment he wasstaked: and with a “‘ whisper’ I parted from bim; and kept ou up-stream

{ had not gone a dozen yards further, when I perceived a break in the line of the bank. Itwas a little * gulley,” that led slanting from the level of prairie down to the bed of the stream. Its coua‘erpart | perceived cn the op- posite side. The two indicated a ford er crossing, used by buffaloes, wild horses aud other den'zens of the prairie.

At first [ viewed it with appre-

® m « heasien. I feared” it might uucover my body to — the eyes of the enemy, but oa coming opposite my fears were allayed. The slope was abrupt, and the high ground screened me as qe There would be uo dauger in
