4 LIFE GLoRIoUsLY sTAKED!
Towards the close of beautiful day in
June, 1867, man and woman, mounted
upen feet horses, came galloping over
one of the great plains of the west, and
drew rein in the shade of clump of cot
ton-woods upon the bank of beautiful
river. They had ridden far and rapidly.
Their steeds were painting, and covered
with sweat and foam.
''We must give the horses breathing

pie.
The couple were evidently father and
daughter.
The man was in the prime of life, hale
and hearty, with large frame, which
was sinewy and athletic, without ceasing
to be refined and prepossessiny. He had
the keen, shrewd look peculiar to the
adyance-guards of civilization, aud there
was an honest, frank expression on his
sun-browned face that proclaimed h;s in.
tegrity and courage.
In her way, his daughter was equally
picturesque and attractive.
In the early flush of womanhood, with
a pure, sweet, and tender face, with eyes
darkly gl, wing, with coral l-tinted lips,
rnd cheeks softly flushed with the hue of
the rose, with amber curs floating behind
her, sue was as graceful as gazelle, as
| light-hearted as bird, as lovely as a
Ao: er, and as spirited as an untamed au-
telope.
The stream by which the couple had
halted was Wood river, branch of the
Platte, in Nebraska, al point fifty miles
northwest of Fort kearny. ~

that of Ter lover. She answered the
glances Of her father, however. with a
| frankness that attested his entire sympa-
