but regular discharge Of what he knew
to be repeating rifle White puffs OF
smoke marked the location Of arif1eman
in the cliffs that lowered above the II
regular depression in which the outlaws
had halted There was great commo-
ton among the Indians and white men
who remained back with Bouton, and
every time puff Of silvery smoke rose
from the cliffs a man fell, or wound
ed man ran out Of range Bouton knew
in his heart who the dreaded rifeman
was, and he took good care TO keep out
Of sight. A few minutes and two rifles
began to fash from the cliffs, and Black
Eagle hastened to Bouton's side and
said with an expression Of mingled an
ger and alarm:
"Kushat is UP therewith Henry Kyle.
You told me that itwas the other broth

rock to keep out Of range
Nora Kyle overheard instrumentation
between Bouton and Black Eagle, and
watching the cliffs, from which the
puffs Of white smoke curled up, she saw
q bit Of vermilion coloring moving
along the giddy crest Of the rocks, and
she said to Alice:
~'That is ,Kushat-
"eTes, ",said the captain, land the
rtfeman who is sending death into the
ranks Of the outlaws is your brother
Henry. Ah, If he had only Joined as in
timep"
"Then he would have been true to
himself" sighed Nora
;Atilength the firing died out, and the
vermilion speck disappeared from fan
rup:the mountain side. When Bouton
saw:this and believed ihe'could move
about in safety, he left the protection OF
;the,rocks and mounted his horse. He
felt in his wicked heart that Henry
Kyle watched for him, and death would
|'be,certain if he once ventured within
range of the dreaded rifle Not only
hate,for but dread Of Henry Kyle made
him, doubly anxious to get him out OF
the way, and, as has been shown, he
used every means in his power to &C
complish his purpose. As Bouton rode
in!the direction which Font Robb had
taken he reviewed the incidents already
recorded, and he felt elated and depressed
by turns He had ridden about mile
when he heard firing to the front, and
he hastened to a place where Font Robt
had been brought to halt With ar
oath he demanded 'to;now what was

all my life. Jest as soon as we gets one,

And Robb, whose brain was none o1
the.brightest, rubbed his head and look

Flank them. drive them back and keep
them, on the run. "
.Robb declared that he had men out
fanking at that moment and that he
expected to get the little party out o1
his way before an hour was over. Then
he asked:
"What are you goin'to do with the
|tboss?''
'tYou mean BrandoH?"
"That's the rooster I'm alludin to. ."
Font, what would you do with
!him?" asked Bouton, sinking his voice,
though. there was no one but Robb with
in hearing.
Course me if I'd give him chance
to get; away" replied Robb.
s..And. do you think will?"
Al hope not. "
mo, sir. I've been acting white man
so far. When I come to Brandon, I'll
show the Indian side Of my character.
Now. push, on, and I'll go back and fol-

Boutonturned to ride back, and Robb
shouted after him:
"For heavens sake send that Sim

good to see that mildewed coyote knock

Bouton nodded to show that he un
derstood him and went back to the
spring, where the captain and girls were
still talking.
