moved down the slope toward the
river. "You have not yet told me how
you happened TO come alone TO my
rescue"
"Yes. darling. came with his lsnowl-
edge and consent" lie then related TO
her all that had transpircd ut the fort
after the discovery that the Indians
had carried her away. The aifectionatc
girl gave him hug that almost lifted
him from the saddle and lovingly sail:
"Oh. you dear. brave, noble fellow.
Perhaps youraction in coming upon such
q pcrilors mission to rescue his daugh-
ter may have great weight In breaking
down papa's prejudice. and when he
realizes that II was you who restored
me TO his arms he may look upon you
with favor and no longer oppose our
hearts fondcst desires"
THAT has been the uppcrmost sub
Ject of my thoughts during the entire
trip, and | pray God that it may be MS
we hope"
Happening tn cast his eyes back over
his shoulder his heart ceased ir ,
moment to beat and his blood ran
cold in his veins
A band of mounted Indians came
sweeping down the bluff but half a
mile behind them.
My God. we are pursued" he cried,
striking the spurs deeply into the sides
of the horse. ''Cling closely, my loved
one. for II will now be desperate ride
for life"
MAY God In Heaven protect us" she
murmured, as the fierce yeils OF the
pursuing Indians reached their ears.
The noble horse heard the savage
cries Of the pursuers, and seemed to
realize the great danger that threat
cned his riders. Across the grassy val
ley he flew with almost incredible
speed, and n thrill of hope flashed
through the young soldiers breast rs
he noted that each bound Of the animal

getting too near the fort"
God grant that they mayl Oh,
those frightful, unearthly yellsl They
seem to chill my blood" she said,
clinging yet more closely TO her lover.
Without slackening his pace the
horse dashed into the stream, but the
water impeded his progress and the
Indians gained rapidly upon them.
Nobly the strong beast plunged against
the swift waters which rose TO his
breast In the center Of the stream, but
the current was strong and his progress
was slow. At last he reached the other
side and dashed mp the bank as the In
dams were urging their ponies into the
water on the opposite side.
Across the wooded bottom which In
tervened between the river and the
western bluff they Jew, and began tho

the crouching sentinel from the rear,
he grasped his hunting knife firmly in
his hand and stole toward the unsus'
pecting savage. In the darkness he
could sse the silent form but few
feet distant, and gliding noisclcssly as
serpent he in moment stood over
his intended victim Not sound. not n
groan escaped the red man rs he passed
from sleep into death, and raising the
flap over the entrance Brown entered
the lodge. lie could see nothing in the
inky darkness, and crouching low
upon the ground he waited for light
ming flash. When II came II revealed
to him several forms lying wrapped In
blankets about the lodge. Moving
softly toward where three forms were
lying under the same blanket, he
again cYouched down and waited for
the fitful torches of heaven to further
guide him. The rain beat with low.
sullen roar on the lodge of skins. and
the ground trembled as the thunders
beloved their way through the
heavens overhead.
II seemed an age ere the lightning
again lit up the rain-sonked earth and
created siclsly glare within the lodge,
but by the dim light he saw the pale
face Of his love. She had raised her
head from its pillow Of skins. and the
soft blue eyes were gazing directly
upon him.
In an instant he was beside her, and
rs he bent his head to assure her that
II was himself and to caution her
against making any noise. her arms
Clided about his neck and she softly
whispered
Ned. darling, | knew you would
come. While praying to Heaven that
you mirht come 70 my rescue n great
peace filled my soul. and felt that my
prayer hal been heard and would be
answered and when the lightning
came saw your dear face in the gloom
of the lodge"
lie pressed n kiss on her lips and
whispered:
I'VE must not lose moment, darl-
ing. Arise softly that You may not
wake those who sleep near you. and
let us away"
II am secured here. Ned. A rope is
passed about my body and the squaw
who lies nex; to me is lying upon it."
With his hunting knife he severed
the rope and they passed from the
lodge. Moving silent rs sp,ctcrs they
trayerscd the village and soon reached
the horse In It's place of conccalment.
AS they approached the animal gave
utterance to low whinny of rccogni-
ton, and II seemed TO come as token
of cheer to their anxious heprts.
"Wc must use all haste, darling, for
discovery of your absence will lead to
immediate pursuit. II is terrible that
Won must bear exposure to this storm
and the long fatiguing ride, but you
must be brave"
"Do not worry about my comfort,
dear" she replied. 81 am strong, and
the exposure will not harm me in the
least"
Enclosing the horse he assisted the
girl to n scat behind the saddle. and
mounting In front Of her turned the
animals head toward the fort. Throw
ing her arms about him TO secure her
self in her position, she snid:
"Now. Ned. this Is a splendid seat

push ahead as fast rs the noble horse
can travel with It's double burden"

GORDON AT PITTsBURa.
He Attends the Encampment of the
Union Veteran Legion.

Union veteran Legion.
Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. ll.-Well on to-
ward midnight last night that which to
the members of the Union Veteran Legion
attending the encampment and the Pitts
burg members Of the organization was
perhaps the most remarkable scene since
the close OF the war took place, when
Gen. John b. Gordon, one of the leading
commanders of the confederate army ap-
peared before vast number of federal
soldiers and raised his voice for the OBJ
liberation of sectionalism and a united
America. 70 say that the old union sol
ulers were responsive to Gen. Gordon S
plea gives no adequate idea of the feeling
manifested by the thunderous cheers and
hearty hand grasps with which the ex-
confederate general was received 1t was
the regular meeting night of the Union
Veteran Legion, and the hall was
thronged. Gen. Gordon was the first
member of the confederate army to ever
enter the hall. The great crowd gave
three hearty cheers. Gen. A l.. Pearson
in happy remarks introduced the confed-
crate general, whom many present had
met at the surrender of Appomatox
Gen. Gordon said: a. and all right
thinking men of any section, would al
ways admire men who fought" Turning
to the union flags, which profusely COW
cred the speakers stand, he delivered an
eloquent apostrophe, pledgng his devo-
ton and that of the ex-confederates of the
south to that banner and all that it sym
bolizes. He addressed the soldiers as
comrades and countrymen, and every
time the general, in his calm, deliberate
tones, used these endearing terms, the au
dience was visibly affected.
AT the end of his eloquent address
three tremendous cheers were given.
Corporal Tanner responded in an ad-
dress of no less fervid eloquence, pledg-
ing the respect and admiration of all real
union soldiers who fought and suffered
for such loyal patriotic men and soldiers
represented by Gen Gordon. Corporal
Tanners remarks were delivered most
earnestly and eloquently seated in q
chair, the recent amputation of his legs
preventing him from standing on his feet

KING AND POPE.
Crispi Said to Be on the Point of Re
Cancellation.

London, Sept. 11.-Under the caption
"Pons Pontifcls," the Pail Mall Gazette
prints an article with the object of show
ing that Premier Crispi is rapidly ap-
preaching a reconciliation between king
and pope Last Thursday. the article
says, Signor CrisDi's private secretary
had long interview with Cardinal RAM
pola, the former being the first Italian
official who has visited the vatican since
1870. This visit, the Gazette asserts,
began series of negotiations, the result
of which are shown in the pope's prompt
establishment of an apostolic prefecture
in Massowah, Immediately following
which King Humbert gave his
assent to the appointment of Cardinal
Sarto, the pope's nominee, to the Office of
patriarch of Venice, concerning which
appointment there has been prolonged
disagreement between the vatican and
the quirinal The most significant Incl
dent of all, however, is the act of Siguor
Crispi going out OF his way in his speech
at Naples yesterday to compliment Cardi-
nal San Felix, archbishop of Naples, and
TO summon church and state to Join forces
against the common enemy. The presence
of Cardinal San Felix on the platform
SAYS the Gazette, betokens the willing
ness of the pope TO come to terms.
