Prom ''aooa - ds~y eve" she carried

Do stopped her as the Indian camp

Quiet. old iassi quiet" he said,
cautiously, dismounting and pattinS
her with q look on his face that few but
Dolly or Red Mustang had ever seen
there.
The gallant beast seemed % under
stand, and, suppressing a whinny,
rubbed her nose wistfully against the
caressing hand.
Half gliding. half creeping forward,
Jim took in the situation at . glance.
The Indians had evidently only just
/ stopped. and were hastily improvising
sort Of camp. But unsnspicious as
they were of being followed 80 soon,
| Jim knew that this first careless hustle
| OF arrival would not last long. but that
sentries would be set 10 guard against
any approach. Suddenly his blood
thrilled: for there before him. not
dozen yards away, lay Dolly reposing
on an old blanket in the healthy sleep
| of childhood.
IT was foolish thing 10 do. perhaps,
considering the state Red Mustang was
in: but then Jim was desperate. How

in fash the three were off.
Dim" said Dolly, clinging In bliss
full content to the rough red-shirted
arms.
"Ay," Jim answered, giancing down
| at her as he frightened Red Mustangs
/ girth: you go 10 sleep, Dolly"
So Dolly's little brown head nestled
down, and Jim and Red Mustang made
what speed they could. which was not a
very great speed. although there came
sounds from behind which made the
mare tear forward and turned jim
white. The Indians were in pursuit!
Mile by mile. hour after hour that
fearful race went on. The rugged line
of hills which marked the camp were
in sight now. But could Red Mustang
hold out? She was already trembling
ominously, and Jim knew that the time
was come. If she were to reach the
camp at all. il must be without his
weight on her back.
"Dolly!' he said, with shake which
made Dolly open her sleepy eyes. II
want you to do somethin' for me-" he
went on persuasively; II want to get
down here. I've-l'vc-a partic'ler rea-
son for wanting to get down here"-and
the arm holding Dolly as gently as a
woman's kept her head turned well for
ward: "Red Mustang'll take you TO the
camp all right. if you'll be brave little
gell and GO alone"
''Oh." and Dolly's frightened clutch
was very firm.
"Will you, Dolly?" said Jim fever
ishly. "Dollyl Dolly! Little lass! Will
you? For me-"
"Iss, Dim," said Dolly, with CULVER
ing lips.
Dismounting, Jim fastened her swift
II and firmly to the saddle. and gave
Red Mustang the word Goodbye,
Dolly" and Jim's mustache brushed the
rosy lips.
"Dood-bye, Dim," said Dolly.
Red Mustang whinnied uneaeily. But
her master had told her to go, and she
went.
She'll do it." said Jim, with great
sigh of relief.
The Indians were very close now.
In q curious. concentrated kind Of
way, Jim gazed at the plain. which the
moonlight was kindling into peaceful
beauty. Then. with an ugly light in his
eye, ne drew out his bowie-knife and
turned to face what was before him.
"Whoso giveth cup Of cold water to
one of these little ones. he giveth it
unto me-" And Jim had given more
than that--hc had given his life, for the
next day Big Ben and the rest found
him on the Observation-Disclosures
Journal.
