November 5, both inclusive:

comprehend the probable result, and
made no decided opposition. They
participated in the movement with the
result that Tom Watson of Georgia,
was selected as the vice presidential
candidate.
Chairman Jones of the Democratic
executive committee, had seen clearly
how matters were going and tele-
graphed Bryan to know whether he
would accept nomination that did
not include Sewall. Mr.. Bryan tele-
graphed back that he would not. His
answer was published in the papers
and every effort was made to secure
its reading on the floor of the conven-
ton but without success. Contrary
to the expectations of the middle-of-
the-roaders, the Bryanites failed to
stampede. In spite of taunts to the
effect that Bryan had repudiated them,
they held firm.
Saturday morning was spent in
speech making. Some of the speakers
tried to get the convention to recon-
slider the nomination of Tom Watson
and endorse both Bryan and Sewall.
There were eulogies of Bryan and
warnings that The should be nomina-
ted, the act would sound the death
knell of the Populist party. Some OF
the more rabid leaders plead for the
nomination ola Populist for president.
Finally, about noon, it was decided to
90 into nominations.
General J. B. Weaver, who was the
Populist candidate for president four
years ago, came forward and made
speech. He started out with the state.
ment that the Populist party was just

Indian as he glided back to the outlaw
camp. He also heard the clicking Of
Henry Kyle's rifle as he paced the hill
with step as noiseless as the falling OF
leaf
In this trying situation Captain Bran
don never lost his presence Of mind He
reasoned that it would be fatal to bring
on conflict there and that if he could
strike the river at point higher up he
could swim down till he reached his
own camp. He started to carry out this
plan, but in short time found his
course blocked by precipitous mass OF
rocks that was the extension Of noun
tain spur ebutting on the river. He
turned with The intention Of finding a
path to the water, when suddenly, on
rounding a bowlder, he found himself
face to face with Henry Kyle.
With the strength Of giant and the
quickness of a tiger the captain threw
himself upon this man and bore him to
the ground The rife fell from the
younger mans grasp as he was in the
act of falling, and the captain did not
attempt to use his
Henry Kyle's first impulse was to
shout to his companions for aid, but
the lion in his nature asserted itself be-
fore the cry rose to his lips He had a
young mans pride in his strength and
activity. Man to man he felt himself to
be the peer of the best Why should he
fear this white headed man single hand
ed? He did not fear him. With all effort
that amazed the captain Henry st1ug-
gled to his feet and tried to reach his
knife, but the iron grip on his arm
frightened and he could feel his muscles
crushing and his veins swelling painful
ly below where the hard hand grasped
him.
Mot a word, Surrender at once, "
hissed the captain, "or l will crush you
to death.
"You surrender" replied the young
man with a fierce oath, "for you cum
not get away from me-"
"Deluded wretchl II l could meet
ak your band one or two at q time this
way the work of destroying them would
be simple, but have pity for you, pity
for the mother that they say still loves
you, " said the captain. And as he spoke
he seized the knife in the young man g
belt and sent it rattling down the rocks
II do not want your pityl Curse you!
Release me or will go at you with my
teethl"
This was shouted in voice Of min
gled anger and pain, and the cry was
heard down the river by the Indians
Hold him, Henry! Hold himP' cried
Black Eagle
Hurry, hurry" was the response.
Captain Brandon heard the Sioux and
Shoshones advancing, and knew that
self preservation demanded prompt ac-
ton
"On your own head be the blood.
then" /" he said
The young man tried to tear himself
away, but he was as a child in this
mans hands he felt himself being Lift.

CHAPTER VII.

In a former chapter it was said that
Captain Brandon placed the utmost re-
lance in all but one of his men, and to
this man he could not openly show his
suspicion. His name was Patch, and
he was employed at Omaha to drive one
of the mule teams Short, thickset and
bullet headed, Patch looked an ideal
prizefghter, an effect heightened by q
broken nose and the absence Of front
teeth Patch was very taciturn beyond
the professional swearing at his mules,
profanity being considered on the plains
as essential to the mules progress and
usefulness as harness. He rarely spoke,
end he never joined the people about
the campfire in the evenings.
His great delight was to sit on the
wagon box and chew tobacco. He actu-
ally devoured great black slabs Of it.
From this perch he would watch the
immigrants, or rather he would watch
one Of them, Clara Blanchard. He fol-
lowed her every movement with his red
trimmed eyes, and at times was SO fascl-
mated as to fall into a mesmeric state
and sleep on the box all night.
Patch submitted to Captain Brandon g
discipline. He had dread Of the tall
guide, and would have offered no re-
sistance had that person kicked him, but
behind this show Of obedience the de-
based spirit was in revolt He would
have deserted at once but for the fascina-
tion that kept him within the sight OF
Clara Blanchard Through his dim
brain the thought crept, IF was to
help bust this outfit up, them Bouton
chaps mout let me have charge OF her
like a kinder reward "
While watching his mules that day
Patch discovered something which had
escaped the notice Of Captain Brandon
and which could not have been thought
of by Bouton's party-viz, the river,
on which the semicircular corral wall
abutted, was so shallow at the upper
part of the camp and for many yards up
the river that it could be waded with
out reaching a depth above the knee,
and in this way the place could be sur
prised and taken in the rear. Patch
was on guard the first half of the
night, and it can be said that he was
too much absorbed in the contemplated
treachery to give any thought to the
duties or dangers Of his position He
listened eagerly to everything that was
said, and the instant he was relieved
he resolved to test the practicability OF
his own scheme. He succeeded in reach
ing the outlaw camp and was brought
before Bouton, who at once asked:
"Are there many more like you over
in that camp?"
"No. boss. there amt another one. I
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-07-29

spoke he wheeled and faced the gang
with his eyes flaming and his lie in
the hollow of his left arm.
"You cannot 60 there"
"Who can prevent"
"I"
prevent me, then But let me say
this: No man ever lived to fire at me
second time. Long before you came to
these mountains was here, and here !
will be long after the wolves have eaten
thy carcass and left thy white bones
glistening on the mountain side.
No words can adequately convey the
effect Of this defiance The man looked
like an inspired lion, and the despera-
does drew back like jackals The voice
rang out like huge blast, and the atti-
tude was the very ideal Of heroic con.
tempt. The Prophet waited as though to
see If q hand would be raised, and an
expression Of unutterable loatking swept
over his face as he wheeled and resumed
his onward march.
Howard Blanchard was the first to
discover the approach Of the wild figure,
and it was 30 strange and startling-so
different from anything he had ever be-
held-that, in his momentary alarm, he
would have raised his arm and fired
had not Captain Brandon seized the
weapon and called out:
"Holdl That is the Prophet and my
friendp
With the activity of youth, and all
the more surprising in one Of his size,
the Prophet laid his hand on the stone
wall that surrounded the corral and
vaulted over.
The Prophet inquired about the
strength of the force and made some
shrewd suggestions as to further action.
During the day neither Captain Bran
don nor his men showed themselves
above the wall, but the children, who
could not be restrained inside the CEN
tral stockade, moved about without be-
ing molested At times the ridemen up
On the cliffs fred down random shot,
as if to show that he was still on the
lookout.
"Let him stay there until it is dark,
and I will make it hot for him., said
the captain, when about sunset another
bullet whizzed over the camp.
True to his word, the captain crept
out with the dusk. He assured his
friends he would be back in an hour or
two and told Howard Blanchard to take
command till he returned
IF the young man makes a mistake,
I will correct him." said the Prophet
Two hours passed, but the captain
did not return. Midnight came and
morning neared, but still he was abb
sent And the Prophet raised his hands
and said: II fear me great misfor-
tune has befallen us We may never see
the brave captain again.
