THE WAR-TRAIL !

CHAPTER XCIX,

THE CRISIS

Tur renegade having raised the unre- sisiiug captive in his arms, proceeded to earry her away from the spot. He scarce carried her. Her feet, naked and bound, were trailing upon the grags, both to- gether.

He passed the lodge, and was going towards the copse,iu an oblique direction. The savages who saw him only shouted and laughed.

{ waited neither to see or hear more. Still keeping within the timber, I glided along its edge. With qaick but noiseless step I went, making for the same point towards which the ruil fian ravisher was tending.

I arrived first, and stooping under the shadow of the trees, waited with kvife in hand, firm grasped and ready.

His burden had delayed him, He had stopped midway to rest, and was now standing scarce ten paces from the edge of the grove, with his victim still in his arms, and apparently leaning against him. uM

There was a momentary wavering in my mind as to whether | should not then rush forth, and strike the coup. The, chance seemed as good as | might have.

I was about deciding in the aflirm- ative, when |! saw Hissoo-rozo had again taken up his burden, and was moving towards me. He was making directly for the spot where I stood. The crisis was near !

It was even nearer than I thought. The man had scarce made three steps from the poiut of rest, wheo I saw him stumble and fall to the earth, carrying the captive along with him !

The fall appeared accidental—I might have deemed it so, but for the wild shout with which it was accompanied. Some- thing more than a mere stumble elicited that fearful cry!

There was a short struggle upon the ground—the bodies became separated— one was seen to spring suddenly back. I saw it was Isolina! There was some- thing in her hand—both moonlight and firelight gleamed upon a crimson blade ; she who grasped it bent for au instant downward — the keen edge _ severed the thongs from her limbs, and the moment after she Was running in full flight across the level sward of the camp- ground.

Without reflection I sprang out of the covert and rushed after. I passed the renegade, who had half regaiued his feet, and appeared but slightly wounded. Astonishment as much as aught else seemed to hold him to the spot. He was shouting and swearing, calling for help, and uttering threats of vengeauce.

I could have slain him, and was half inclined to the act; but there wes no time to stay. I only thought of over- taking the fugitive, and aiding her in her flight.

The alarm was given—the camp was in commotion—fifty savages were start- ing upon the chase.

As we ran, my eyes fell upon a horse —a white horse. It was the steed. A man was leading him byalazo. He was taking him from the fires towards the grounds ocenpied by the mustangs. He was going to picket him upon the grass,

Horse and man were directly in front of us, as we ran—in front of the fugitive. She was making towards them. I divined her intention,

In a few seconds she was up to the horse, and had seized the rope. The In- dian struggled and tried to take it away frem her ; the blade gleamed in his eyes, and he gave back.

He still clung to the rope, but in an in- stant it was cut from his hands, and quick as theught the heroic woman leaped upon the back of the steed, and was seen galloping away.

The Indian was one »*f the horse- guards, and was therefore armed. He carried bow and quiver. Before the horse had galloped beyond reach, he had bent his bow and sent an arrow from the string. I heard the ‘‘wheep” of the shaft, and fancied 1 heard it strike, but the steed kept on!

I had plucked up one of the long spears as ran across the camp. Hefore the Indian could adjust another arrow to the string, I had pinned him to the grass.

I drew back the spear, and keeping the white horse in view, ran on.

I was soon in the midst ot the mus- tangs. Many of them had already stam- peded, and were galloping to and fro over the ground. The guards were dis- mayed, and as yet knew not the cause of the alarm. The steed, with his rider, had passed safely through their line.

I was following on foot. Ffty savages were after me. | could hear their shouts, I could hear them ery ‘‘ Wakono,” but I was soon far in the advance of all. The

guerds as I passed them were shouting “Wakono!” As soon as I had cleared the horse-drove, I again perceived the steed; but he was now some distance off. To my joy he was going in the right direction—straight fer the yuceas upon the hill; would see and intercept him.
