shear perpendicular fall to 1000 feet
below. The rifle cracked. The bear tot
tered as it attempted to bring down its
ponderous fore feet. The blood spurted
from it's mouth It tried to cling from
the angular rock; but failing, it sent up
an awful roar and plunged into the
black abyss.
''Get back!" shouted Henry Kyle,
THAT danger is over"
The sisters obeyed him, and, with the
impassable chasm between them and
him, they looked at each other in silence
Alice was the first to speak.
''For myself and sister let me thank
you for this brave and most opportune
act, J." she said, with gracious bow.
,"Opportune it certainly was, but from
my position I could hardly call it brave.
I can assure you, however, that had I
been on that side I would have acted in
just the same way" replied Henry.
Alice was beginning to feel that they
could trust the man who had just secur.
ed them from an awful fate.
"Take this course" said Henry Kyle,
pointing in the direction opposite to
that from which the captain was expect
ed, "and halt when it is dark. Before
daylight you will find friend who will
take you to your father"
"But what if we take the other
course?"
81 can hardly expect you to believe
me when say that if you take the 9th
er course you will be in Bouton's power
again before the sun sets. "
Henry Kyle shouldered his rife and
moved as if anxious to continue his
march.

land think over what you have told
u.s."
Henry Kyle made no reply to this.
he hesitated for moment then raised
his cap and was soon lost to sight among
the rocks. The sisters sat down in the
shadow Of a rock and discussed the situ-
alton As usual, Alice had her way,
but, curiously enough, this way lay in
the course suggested b. Henry Kyle. At
heart she believed that the young man
wanted to befriend them.
II anything, the air seemed to grow
hotter. The were on foot and not accus-
toned to walking. They were hungry,
and their thirst became torture. Hand
in hand they struggled on, the sharp
rocks cutting through their shoes and
the SUN blistering their faces and hands.
A short time before sunset they discov-
cred some water in the hollow Of a rock,
and though it was anything but cool
they drank it and bathed their faces in
it with sense Of satisfaction and relief
such as they had never before expert
enced
They rose to their feet and were
about to resume their indefinite march
when they heard the tramping Of horses
and the unrestrained voices Of men
down the hill. Their recent familiarity
with danger had wonderfully increased
their self possession. Secreting them
selves as well as they could, they reach
ed position from which they could see
the slope Of a mountain stretching away
beneath them till lost in the shadows Of
the valley. They saw Black Eagle and
his warriors, and in their midst they
saw the prisoner, Louis Kyle.
