Rhine in thar" observed the one adj
dressed as Dick, as he came forward to
where Dan was standing.
Come on, my boy" he added, as he
led the youth to door that opened in
the back side Of the house. Passing
through the door, Dan was conducted
through a dark corridor for some dis
lance, when another door was opened,
and he was ushered into large room
whose walls Of clay and stone plainly
indicated that it was situated under
ground.
The outlaw who had accompanied Dan
to the apartment now took the candle he
was carrying, and lighting a huge tin
lamp that sat upon a rude table in the
corner withdrew, shutting and locking
the door behind him.
CHANGING about the room, Dan saw
only few articles of the rudest furni-
ture, with here and there some pieces Of
worn and cast off clothing scattered
about the chamber. The robbers cabin
was situated upon the side of a high
bluff, and it was into this that lhe room
had been followed out, Dan was fully
convinced.
What the room had been used for the
youth could only surmise, bat that it
had been made for the purpose of carry
ing on some nefaious business, such as
cOunjcrfciting, he had not the slightest
doubt.

been placed in confinement. 1t was
plain that the robbers We're not entirely
satisfied with his explanation of how he
came to be there, and they We're de-
termined to keep him IL their power till
he daring robbery they had planned had
been put into execution.
What would then be done with him?
This was the question thai came to Dan,
causing him to be filled with a feeling of
vague fear and uncertainty.
Should the robbers be successful in
their attempt to rob the paylnaster, chen
it was probable that they would IL
and release him; but should they meet
with defeat and be closely pressed by
the military, they might scatter and
leave the country altogether without

glowing reflections the door was I'M

out, locking the door behind her.

CHAPTER X.
A SHOT IN TIE DARK.

Nor and then hc lrou'd pause and listen
As the day advanced il became moro
and more apparent that the cattlemrn
had commenced siege upon the little
garrison at the Travellers Rest. This
CAUSED IA feeling Of uneasiuess among
the settlers, for well they knew that the
desperate character Of the enemy would
lead them to adopt any method 10 obtain
revenge for their loss and defeat on the
night previous.
There were full sixty of tho cattle
men now in sight, and it was probable
that they would soon be re-enlorced by
others.

Would the besegers dare to stop the

opinion Of the settlers that they would

easy for one Of the men to leave the inn
in the stagecoach, and thus gain COM

enemy.

made Il rush for the door, but were
promptly repealed by the settlers, who

1t was evident that the attacking party
had greatly underestimate the strength
of the garrison, and they had paid dearly
for the mistake, for it was evident that
some of them had been killed and nearly
q dozen wounded. In falling back they
had taken their dead and wounded along.

present. at least. Two Of the settlers had
been slightly wounded. but none seri-

But another danger now presented it

reach the house, causing great alarm to
those within.
Two men were set apart to watch the
fire and give instant warning should it
be communicated to the house. The
flames lit up the surrounding prairie,
but no sign of the attacking party was
visible in the circle Of light. They had
doubtless withdrawn to a safe distance,
where they would wait till the fumes
should subslde before venturing to make
another attack.
The discovery that there was n good
number OF armed men in the inn had
evidently upset their plans, but there
WAS little hope that they would relin-
quish their evil design.
