The two men assisted him to arise, but
when he was on .e<icct his left leg seemed
to be without life so far as any control of

| to step forward but it dragged as if it
were paralyZed A Geld sweat broke out
all over him, and when one of the men

Can't you move it at all?' asked one

where they had fallen in the moonlight
and one of them, noticing it, led the way
back into the shadow

recognize it The dead man whom they
had left lying back by the campfire seem

pain he wondered if the Indians had mu

The two men laid him down, and one
taking the disabled limb in his hand,
moved it gently back and forth and in an

thigh
''Yes, it's broken there You can feel
the ends of the bones " AS he said it he
glanced from the face of the wounded man
into that of his other comrade Even in
the shaoow the wounded man caught the
expression on the faces OF the two men and
knew that they were thinking how long it
would De before the Apaches would over
