CHAPTER x.

A proud boy was Perry Thornton the
night the details Of the robbery reached
them. Finding no paymaster at
Willow Springs on Friday noon, and
alarmed by reports of Indian outrages
down the Mini Ska, Tintop, as has been
seen, decided to push on for Painted
Lodge as soon as men and horses had
enjoyed an hour of incoming; and so by
sunset of the long June day the caval-
nv had put some forty-three miles to
their credit and gone into camp once
more, close to the stream, and not more
than ten miles from the bridge over
which was carried the broad and once
well-beaten trail from Pawnee to the
agency. Thornton, eager to win his
spurs, and being prime favorite with
HTintop, as indeed he was with every
body, had been accorded the bliss of a
sside-scOut, and was sent over to the
stage station at the bridge to gather
news. There was no difficulty in load
ing up with rumors. The air was full
of them. Perry found at the station
half dozen cowboys, ranchmen and
the like, most of whom had escaped by
the skin of their teeth and the per-
-formance of prodigies of personal valor.
The old telegraph line from
tact, but north through Wagon
gap and so on to the agency there
had been no communication for a
week, and no one was venturesome
enough to go out and discover why.
Around by way of Bismarck and
Yankton it was easy, though slow
work, to communicate with the agency
people, and the situation warranted
the belief that the Sioux had slashed
the wires running southwark from
their reservation, and therefore toward
the railway and the coming soldiers,
but had left the northwardt passage
open, under the natural impression
that no tidings could ever get to the
enemy by a road that ran the opposite
way. Perry was urged by his inform
ANTS to get back to camp and bring up
the cavalry, and hud not gone a mile
before the accident happened which
led to the shooting of the horse he was
riding. The telegraph company, think
ling to be enterprising, had sent a
young man out with an instrument only

day before. and reopened the old office
at Ska Bridge station, and when cow
boy came running in to say the lieu
tenant and his party had been jumped
on the way back to Painted Lodge, the
dispatch was sent at once, which so
alarmed the good folks at Ransom,
and which Rhett found means to mod
ify on the following day; by which
time, however, the truth was learned
at Ska Bridge, as the cavalry battal-
ion, ''going for all it was WORTH"
passed on down stream in cloud of
alkai dust. Perry was ready for an
other ride even after a long days
march, when, late Saturday night, as
they slept far down the Ska, a courier
rode in from the stage station behind,
with full particulars Of the robbery
and the news that some of the gang
were unquestionably striving to es-
cape toward the Indian agency to the
north, and had been seen squirting
through Wagon gap. The telegraph
operator at the station had told Old
Tintop all that he knew of the affair
during the brief moment that the
colonel halted, but now dispatches and
authentic news came after them.
We've got to send an officer and ten
men on the trail of those beggars,"
said Tintop, sitting up in his blankets
and, reading by the light Of Gray's Ian
tern. Whose turn is it?'
mine, colonel" sang out CHEEKY
voice from roll of bedding under an
opposite cottonwood, and in a moment
Thornton, fresh as a daisy, was pull
ing on his boots and girding himself for
the ride.
You've just got back, you young
cub, and the horse you killed was worth
the news you brought ten times over"
growled the colonel.
''Wen, that's why I want to have an
other go, SIR" was the prompt, laugh
ing answer. And Tintop would not say
him nay.
It was this way that Thornton came
to miss the stirring fight of the bat
talon on the Sunday noontide and to
stumble into siege of his own beside
which, IN point of peril and pluck and
long-continued strain, the fierce brief
hour of battle of his comrades was but
bagatelle.
At one a. m. on Sunday he and his
little squad rode away on the west
ward trail, guided by the courier who
brought the news. Two miles back
from camp they left the river and
edged away to their right over the
moonlit valley towards rift in the
boundary hills just family visible in
the dim and ghostly light. An hour
after dawn they halted in a deep
ravine to water their horses, and then
went Looping on again, Thornton eager
and exultant. proud of his trust and
determined to overhaul the robbers if
riding could do it. By noon Sunday
they had pushed northward out Of the
gap with the fresh trail leading on; by
one had halted to feed, water, and IN
saddle awhile in the midst of the wild
scenery at the head of Fossil creek,

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 16.-Three
persons were burned to death near
Drennon Springs, Henry county, by a
fire which destroyed the home of Frank
Jones, a farmer. Jones was awakened
by the screams of his children to find
the house, the bed whereon he slept,
and the clothing of the remaining mem
bers of the family ablaze. He made
strenuous efforts to save his wife and
children, but egress by either door be-
ing cut off, was compelled to abandon
the attempt, He leaped through a
window so badly burned that he may
not survive. The bodies of Mrs. Jones
and the two children were recovered

hard as they could, were Schultz and

''How do You make it out?" asked
Thornton. his bright eyes ablaze with
interest.
''We1l, everywhere through the gap,
lieutenant. these cavalry footprints
showed atop of the others. In every
case where there was soft ground you
could see that our print was the last

fed, watered, ate and smoked, and
finally went on; our fellows merely fed
and watered and fastened after them.
