Cowboy sat up.
You're all right. old man. Come
with me; I'll put you through.
Jack followed him, very grateful at
not being laughed at, and was led
down the camp TO larger tent at the
dividing of the ways.
You wait here, and I'll find Nate

Jack thrilled with delight, and gasp

The TWO Indians appeared, one
mass of feathers from which his mild
heavy featured face, covered with red
and yellow paint peeped quantity
forth the other was closely wrapped
in mis- blanket, and only pair Of pierre
ing black eyes under q low green fore
head with red stripes were visible.
They received their instructions with
a cultural gurgle, and gazed down on
the trim lilJle white cUhed, Jail-hatted
figure before them much as Goliath
looked on David.
Jack promised Salisbury TO return
them safely TO the camp before the
evening show He left his card and adj
dress, and the procession of three
started through the camp for the sta
ton. creating no small amusement.
The Indians walked one on each side
of the diminutive Jack. "StrCng-Aan-
With-the- Broken-NCse bristled with
feathers like q mighty pCrcupiGe, and
carried his Winchester in his hand. and
his tomahawk and scalping knIe IN his
girdle, and BLACK Wolf was big and
hurley man, and looked the bigger for
the way he carried himself mufiied up
in his blanket.
They passed the wicket and Jack
booked them firsj-class 10 Richmond.
The train rolled up. Jack twisted open
a door and bowed politely 10 the noble
red men 10 enter.
A tired city man was stretched across
the open door fast asleep with his feet
on the opposite seat. He was asleep,
with his feet on the opposite seat.
He was sleepily withdrawing his long
limbs when Broken Nose swept mag
nihcantly into the carriage, regardless
of the recumbeut one, dragged him
half OH the seat and half way IN 10
the other door. The city man. thor
oughly aroused, sprang I'M to oiler some
remarks. when the entrance of Black
Wolf anu Jack, VINO both tumbled up
against him completed his discomfort
ure. He sat down and rubbed his eyes
and looked from one to the other like
a nightmare. till the train reached
Hammersmith. when he picked up his
belongings and betOok himself 10 an
other carriage Neither Indian had
vouchsafed a glance at him. They s3z-

that seemed hopefully searching for
prairies and buffalOes among the Ham
mersmfJh chimney pots.
At length they reached Richmond
Jack opened the door, the Indians fol-
lowed him. scattering sensation in their
path.
Jack left orders with old Buchanan
10 bring down the Brougham to meet
him and a friend at the o'clock train.

"Con-found it," said Jack, for this
time only. when he saw the turnout.
I'VE shall be taken for cOnfOunded

However. there was no help for it.
Old Buchanan. spruce. clean-shaven,
starched and sti6, touched his hat me-
chanically and waited for Master Jacl,
and his friends TO mount. Jack waved
the way towards the dog cart, and
Broken Nose swung himself lightly up
10 the seat beside the driver. The lat
ter turned his head quarter of an inch
and his Jaw fell as the astounding fig

"Guid sakes,' he murmured. Lord
save us"
"All right Buchanan-driye on
Jack and 'Black Wolf managed TO
hang on to the back seats as the lively
colts bounded forward. and the crowd
