Ponies they could not see, for they were herded farther up the cove beyond the fire, but every indication pointed to there being well nigh 100 well armed warriors right there within revolver shot, while others doubtless hovered like watchful spies about the unsuspecting camp beyond the range. ‘*We could never get past them with- ** muttered the captain finally. ‘‘We’re far too few to drive them.

Somewhere ahead of the watchers in the black depths of the westward end of the icep ravine an old game trail wound 1ud twisted up the mountain side over into the beautiful park beyond. Hunter vell remembered and had traced it in is notes. Over this trail Lord Lune- uouth's joyous party had evidently goue. Over this the Indian scouts had sracked him.

And the first man to speak out when in few words Ray explained the situa- | tion to the troop was that incorrigible rascal, the Kid. ‘‘I’m game to go, sir.”’ . ‘*Good for one,’’ said Ray. ‘‘Here’s another, sir.’’ ‘‘And here,’’ ‘‘And here,’’ came in low tone from galf a dozen in the wearied troop, but Ray waited for still another voice, un- | til, balf turning, he looked as though | saddlebags. inguiringly at Hunter, who had already kicked off his boots and was pulling on a pair of moccasins, drawn from his Then Huuter looked up | and spoke. ‘*I, of course, sir.

But bow were they to reach it unob- served, for here and everywhere the Kid could point out fresh pony tracks, and even at they paused at the belt of pines away out on the slopes beyond, hidden from camp by intervening riset in the ground, dark forms of horsemen, three or four, were plainly visible, and the Kid coutd tell from old experience that nothimg living would escape those watchers’ eyes. But up the slope the trees were thick- er, and again, thengb wearily, they sought their shelter and slowly crawlec from clamp ts clump until toward ¢ o’clock they were nearly opposite the sleeping camp, lying out there in a lovely glade, Barely long rifle shot away. Twice, thrice they had seen an Indian on nimble pony, moving cautiously about, well out of sight of camp.

Down went the twe flat upon their stomachs, and the slow, tortuous process began. Before they hac made 100 yards Celtic patience gave ont. ‘“‘D——d if I can stand this!’’ said the Irishman. ‘‘There’s not an Indian in sight now. Comeon. Let’s run for it. ”? Suiting action to the word, the little sinner was on his feet and in another minute skimming gway like a racer to the goal. And then as Hunter started to follow he saw a sight that made bim thrill with dread. As though they sprang from the bowels of the earth, twe In- dians on ewift ponies darted into view, and, bending low over their chargers necka, lashing them to mad gallop, they fairly shot across the resounding, turf clad prairie, swift and atraight toward ding form. ee rok ont, Kid!

An Indian pony plunged and tossed his rider sprawling within a doz- en yards of where the Kid bad turned at bay, and Hunter, rushing to tho res- cue, had just time to kneel when two or three revolvers seemed to crack at once, aud the air was rent with fire flashes. But the soldier's aim was true, and one tall warrior toppled heavily forward and bit the dust as Hunter sped on to his | comrade’s aid. He found him clasping | bis hands about bis knee and rolling in agony On the turf, “or the love of God, don’t stop!’ cried he. ‘‘They’ve smashed my leg, There’s a dozen to Hunter knelt, and, though his heart beat bard. sent shot after sbot | amazed at the vigorous defense, the In- dians seemed to haul away.
