he fell on his hack and slid with terrifying
speed to the gulch below.
For a second he was under the surface,
then he arose and fought for his life.
Downward he went, like a cork in the
rapids, for his skill at swimming and bis
coolnessin danger was unsurpassed. Hurled
funously along, young Minton saw to the
left, ahead, an alder, growing near the
torrents edge. With a mighty luDge and
effort he threw himself toward the bank
So swiftly was he floating that he reached
the alder almost instantly and grippingra
branch with giant hold he stayed his
terrible course.
Tug and haul as he would. Harold was
still unable to drag himself out of the
furious, eddying current. The waters rose
about him rapidly and soon Were swirlng
and lashing a I the roots of the alder.
Down the river now there came the mon
ster stump Of tree. 1t pitched and
plunged, but it rode, nevertheless, with its
trunk side up and the gnarled and twisted
network of roots submerged. Swinging and
tumbling in the angry flood, il plunged
directly toward the boy. He saw with
horror that he struggled in its path and
that nothing could prevent IL from grind
ing and tearing him from his anchorage.
He also felt that alder giving and slipping
from its rocky hold. Then, as the stump
came tossing on, he formed sudden and
daring plan.
He would ride the stump!
He gave himself desperate, wonderful
lift ON the alder branch, as the stump was
about To crush his bones, and found him
self clingiug to the monstrous thing and
lying across part of the bush that had
broken away al the last fateful moment.
Down and out Of the gorge they raced
on the heaving river; and below the waters
spread to run in a broad and shallow cur
rent across the valley. The cain mad
ceased, although the lightning sull.nIy
flashed from time To time. and the thunder
growled and grumbled from afar
The fearful night was over at last and
morning smiled again. Little Elne, safe
and sound, lisped her tales To them all
Miner Bill had fetched her home.
Harold. my boy said the invalid father,
few days later, can you find the spot
again where your alder crew.
Yes said Harold, why"
IF you can Mr.. Mnton replied, sup
pressing a rising excitement. wen have
money enough for operations and every
thing else we can wish, for the piece Of
rock in the roots of the alder that saved
your life, was broken from ledge and is
rich / n gold"
The ALDER Mine is famous now, and
Harold smiles To see his father hopping
about the place again. and much more
lively indeed than IA cricket in a heated
skillet"

drew up alongside nf the soldier for warmth
and protection. TO his amazement and
grief he was roughly pushed away.

was dark with rage. You have come out

Answer quick! How near are tbey?"
AS he spoke the other man hitherto in

Chief recoiled as lie recognized Tex, the
man lie had met on the road.
Little Chief reused himself and looked
timorously about him. Close beside tie
men, two horses stood patiently, their halter

he recognized at once as a cavalry horse
from the post. Farrens. He looked again,
more closely and inquisitiyely, and the
fire flashed so that he recognized bag,

ground in dumb fears

Little Chief was wildly desperate. AS the
awful arms reach ed down he seized Knot
OF smouldering wood from the fire and
struck with it the mans face with all
his might. Tex raved with agony as the
sparks burst over his eyes, and jumped on
the boy. lie Grasped him with one mighty
fist and raised him high In the air. With
the other hand he drew his long hunting
knife from his belt. Little Chief SHIT
his eyes tight and screeched, but before
the blade flashed downward Farsan had
rushed upon his partner in crime and struck
his arm aside.
None OF that!' he cried, asserting his
better self firmly at last. There's not
going to be any numbering work. Thething
is bad enough now to suit me-"
For 4 second Tex stared at him, speech
less with passion, and then bowling.
abandoned Charlie and rushed at the
soldier.
In an instant the thieves clinched, and
Little Chief saw them sway and lurch
upon the edge OF the fire. The boy also
saw Farren draw his knife, and. with
sckening horror, watched the two blades
clash and cross and cut and slash in
fearful rivalry.
He picked himself up and ran to the
side or his old friend, the cavalry horse,
but as he did SO, the corner OF his eye
caught sight of the precious valise and he
snatched il up. A Jerk at the halter strap
of The already saddled stecd and the
horse was free. Already foot In the stir

and he was In place. with the bag IN front.
Little CHIEF glanced back, and saw Far

n great vomit of blood poured from his
throat, as he fell IN IA huddled heap on the
fire. Tex drew back with a denonlike
cheer. but, instantly his quick eyes fell
on the vanishing boy. and he sprang after
