Lieutenant Hawley, who was in COM
mand of the paymaster's escort, was a
brave and daring soldier, yet he hest
tated about leading his men into place
where they might be ambushed by a
band of the most desperate outlaws that
ever infested the southwest.
He had spent five years in military
service and had figured in many battles
along the border with the murderous
guerrillas, who were the terror of the
country they infested. That the men
who were now planning to rob the pay
master were none other than band Of
those guerrillas who had fled for safety
to the sparsely settled regions of Kansas,
he had not the slightest doubt.
He well knew how desperate and reck-
less these men were, and he realized that
an encounter with them would result in
a heavy loss of men; but he was not the
man to lead his men into an ambush
when it could be avoided SO he had
decided on adopting a plan that would
completely checkmate the would be rob-
bers and obviate any chance of a per-
sonal encounter with them.
He knew of an old and abandoned
trail which crossed the creek more than
a mile below the Military road, and hC
had decided to travel across the prairie

1t would be hard to describe the feel
ings of Dan Riggsby as he heard the out
law advancing toward the spot where he
lay concealed He realized how useless
would be his attempt to escape, since the
other two outlaws were guarding the
edges of the thicket, revolver in hand.
To resist would be worse than useless;
they were three to his one, and men of
the most desperate character.
The steps of the advancing outlaw
drew nearer and nearer. Dan felt that
something must be done, yet terrified
and bewildered he knew not what course
TO pursue. 1t seemed as if there was
nothing left for him to do now but to
submit to being recaptured.
But at that very instant there was
crash in the underbrush and deer-an
immense buck-leaped within a yard of
where Dan lay and disappeared like
flash through the brush that skirted the
stream. The loud crack of pistol broke
the stiffness as the outlaw hurried in
the direction taken by the deer.
"What is it," came from the other
men as they came running along the
edge of the thicket. what air ye
shootin att?
IAN ole buck jumped upin thar" was
the answer, Ian / jist give him crack
fer luck"

he decided to adopt some other plan OF
action.
II know what I'll TO-" he muttered at
last: I'll go directly to Fort Scott and
inform the authorities of what have
heard and see what can be done in the
matter.
Dams knowledge of the law was very
limited, but he was familiar with the
plan adopted by those with whom he
had to deal, and he felt confident of his
ability to defeat their designs, could he
only reach Fort Scott beforeit was too
late
But the worst part Of the whole
business" continued Dan, lis the fact
that they now know that their plot is
discovered and they will not fail tApush
the business through with the greatest
dispatch possible. But it may be that
they will remain here with the intention
of recapturing me-which would doubt
less be the best plan they could adopt;
for by keeping a close watch upon the
prairie along both sides of the stream
they might be successful in their under
taking"
The more Dan studied over the mat
ter the greater was his anxiety as to
what would be the outcome of it all.
Any attempt to leave his hiding place
might result in again placing him in the
power of the outlaws, and his heart al
most sank within him as he reflected
upon his trying situation
But there was nothing to be done now
but wait for night, and then trust to the
chance of escaping the enemy under
cover of darkness.
A half hour passed and then Dan heard
the sound of hurried footsteps advanc-
ing from mp the stream Clutching the
revolver in his hand, he crouched low in
the weeds, his heart beating in a wild
tumult. Some one was approaching
and that it was some one of the enemy
Dan felt convinced
Presently the steps drew nearer and
the sound of voices could be heard
Lifting his head cautiously and peering
through an opening in the thicket, Dan
saw three rough looking men approach
ing, and the first glance told him that
they were some of the same men he had
seen in the robbers cabin the night be-
fore.
Each man carried pistol in his hand
and they were glancing eagerly about
them as they stole cautiously through
the brush
They stopped as they drew near the
thicket where the youth lay concealed.
He orter be about hyar somewhat"
observed the foremost. Il can't see how
he's goin to escape us"
He can't" replied one of the others.
The men air watchin fer him on the
prairy on both sides of the crick, an if
he leaves the timber he'll be picked up
"Thar's no doubt but what We'll git
him if we hat ter search every bush on
the creek-it won't do ter let him slip
now, fer he'd Spite our whole game"
Curse that drunken woman! We
orter knowed better than ter leave her
thar alone.
That's the truth, but it can't be helped
now. jim, you go in this thicket an take
a look fer the game an me an Hal will
jist kinder surround the place an see that
he don't dodge us if he's in thar"
One of the outlaws then walked quick
ly around to the other side of the thicket,
and the next instant Dams heart almost
stood still as he heard one of the men
making his way into the bushes.

dunno.
"See nothin NV the boy?"

dunno.
"See nothin NV the boyY'
mo: reckon he amt in thar err the
deer wouldn't bin round hyar."
Guess that's so, and with this the
men moved hastily away.
Dan breathed deep breath of relief
and thankfulness. He knew that the
deer, whose fortunate appearance had
saved him. had not been in the thicket
when the outlaws arrived, as they had
evidently supposed, but had simply
dashed through there, having doubtless
been frightened by some other members
of the outlaw band who'were searching
for him farther down the stream.
The men had soon passed out of. hear
ing, and Dan now felt sense of security
he bad not felt since his escape from the
outlaws cabin 1t was not probable
that the men would return and make
any further search of the thicket, and he
resolved to remain here till nightfall
The sun was already low in the west
ern horizon, and darkness would soon be
at hand. From what he had overheard
from the outlaws Dan knew that men
would be stationed on the prairie on
each side of the creek to watch for him.
and he was determined to usethe knowl-
edge to his advantage.
As soon as it was fairly dark be left
his place of concealment and stole
cautiously down the stream. 1t was his
purpose 10 travel several miles in this
direction before leaving the shadows of
the woods. By adopting this course he
hoped to evade the outlaws who, he felt
convinced. were keeping close watch
upon the prairie at all points near the
road leading to Scott.
After travelling u quarter of a mile he
reached the road, and after assuring
himself that none of the outlaws were in
the vicinity he stole across to the timber
beyond asd made. his way down the
out from their conversation. replied the
youth.
THAT is a pretty strong force. II
must be band of the Missouri guerrillas
who have escaped to the unsettled re-
gions of Kansas.
The paymaster and lieutenant then
held a consultation for several moments
Then the former turned to Dan and
said:
I'VE feel grateful to you for the i'm
portant information you have given us
and shall see that you are properly re-
warded."
"a thank You, but do not wish any
reward" answered Dan. II have only
done what was my duty to do. And now,
if you please, I'll go on, for wish to be
at the Fort early in the morning"
"Wait moment, said the paymaster,
and going to the ambulance he climbed
to the inside. Presently light CLEANED
from between the curtains. In few
moments he returned and handing Dan
two envelopes. he said:
Zone of these is for yourself, the other
is addressed to Captain Parker, who is
now quartered at Fort Scott. Deliver
this letter to him, and if you need a
friend rest assured that he will not hest
tate to render you tany service in his
power"
II thank you" said Dan. IL may find
it necessary to ask his aid in some bust
ness matters at the Fort" and then bid
ding the men good night he continued
his journey.
The column of troops moved on, and
Dan was soon alone on the dreary stretch
of prairie road
AS he quickened his pace and hurried
on in the direction of the Fort he felt a
hghtness of heart he had not experienced

Governor Brown and the ASSESS
ment Bill.

Governor Brown, 10 his wisdom
and discretion and in the light OF
all the information that could be
given him, has seen fit to withhold
his signature from the Hayes assess
ment bill, and set aside the will of
the people, as expressed through
their representatives, and defeat the
pledges Of the party in the last cam
paign. Governor Brown may be
right, but great many people DIFF
fer with him in his opinion. We
fear that the Governor has made a
grave mistake, by bearkenlng unto
the sirene voice of the moneyed
power of the State, and thereby not
only put himself, but the Demo
cratic party which honored him
with its nomination and elected him
Governor, in political hoe, which,
as we have said before, will take
more than all of Browns mules to
pull him out. Up to this time Cover
nor Brown has given to the people
Of this State, q clean, honest and
able administration of affairs, and
had made for himself a record
which any Governor might well be
proud of-he has exercised the veto
power judiciously and with great
credit to himself and to the interest
of the people of the State, and we
had hoped that he would still con-
tinne in the same good course he
had begun, and endorse this great
est of all importent measures to the
people Of this State and the party.
La his veto message of the bill,
Governor Brown, says:
II withhold my signature from
this bill with great reluctance, for
fully realize the need of new as
sessment, but upon the b,st consld-
Grafton which | am able to give to
the subject | feel that less injury
will result from continuance of
the present condition of affairs for
two or three years more than from
the enactment of a law so universally
resisted.
