CHAPTER XVII.

It was high noon when Brown
reached the scene of the capture, and,
taking the plain trail left by the In
dians, he followed it to the river bank
Pushing forward, he forded the stream,
regained the trail on the opposite side
and dashed away into the sandhills in
eager pursuit of the captors of her
whom he so dearly loved.
He formed no definite plan of action.
His every effort was bent in the direc-
ton of locating the Indians where they
would camp for the night before dark
ness should blind the trail. He was
thoroughly familiar with the country,
having often secuted it with his troop,
and knew that at the Dripping Springs,
about forty miles from the river, a fa-
vorite camping ground of the tribe was
located. There he hoped to find the
camp of the band, of which the captors
of Alice were but fragment. - !.
On and on he sped through the hills
which border the river, and out into
the great tornado del Muerto, or "Jour-
ney to DEATH" that great desert once
Q terror to those who were obliged to
traverse it's dreary, waterless wastes
beneath the burning suns of summer
Far ahead in the distance the San
Andreas range loomed up before him
the eastern side of the great frame o1
mountains which inclosed the desert
The shades of evening were rapidly
eclipsing the light of day as he en-
tered the first range of foothills and
sped along the trail into the bosom o.
the mountains. Dark, threatening
clouds began to gather over the tower
ing peaks as he .neared the Dripping

feet distant, and gliding noiselessly @
q serpent he in moment stood over
his intended victim. Not . sound, not q
groan escaped the red man as he passed
from sleep into death, and raising the
flap over the entrance Brown entered
the lodge. He could see nothing In the
inky darkness, and crouching low
upon the ground he waited for q light
ming flash. When it came it revealed
to him several forms lying wrapped In
blankets about the lodge. Moving
softly toward where three forms were
living under the same blanket, he
again crouched down and waited for,
the fltful torches of heaven to further
guide him. The rain beat with q low,
sullen roar on the lodge of skins, and
the ground trembled as the thunders
beloved their way through tho
heavens overhead. -.
It seemed an age ere the lightning
again lit up the rain-soaked earth and
created sickly glare within the lodge,
but by the dim light he saw the pale
face of his love. She had raised her
head from it's pillow of skins, and the
soft blue eyes were gazing directly
upon him.
In an instant he was beside her, and
as he bent his head to assure her that
it was himself and to caution her
against making any noise, her arms
ellded about his neck and she softly
whispered:
'Ned, darling, knew you would
come. While praying to Heaven that
| YOU might come to my rescue great
peace filled my soul, and felt that my
prayer had been heard and would be
answe, ed, and when the lightning
came saw your dear face in the gloom
of the lodge"
He pressed a kiss on her lips and
whispered:
''We must not lose a 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 next to me is lying upon It,"
With his hunting knife he severed
the rope and they passed from the
lodge. Moving silent as specters they
traversed the village and soon reached
the horse in it's place OF concealment
! AS they approached the animal gave
utterance to low whinny Of recogni
ton, and it seemed to come as toker
of cheer to their anxious hearts.
1--WE must use all haste, darling, fol
discovery of your absence will lead t<
immediate pursuit. 1t is terrible tina
YOU must bear exposure to this storm
and the long fatiguing ride, but yo'
must be brave"
''Do not worry about my comfort
dear" she replied. II am strong, ant
the exposure will not harm me in tn
least.
Unloosing the horse he assisted tn
girl to a seat behind the saddle, an
mounting in front of her turned tn
animals head toward the fort. Throw
ing her arms about him to secure hel
self in her position, she said:
"Now, Ned, this is a splendid sea
and you know am an expert rider, q
push ahead as fast as the noble hors
can travel with it's double burden"
, ''Then away to home and liberty,
