presence of a little party of officers the
story was told again, and told without

paymaster with his unusual amount of
treasure, and, quickly assembling, they
were heading away to meet him far to
the southeast of the big post, very pos

And 20 minutes later, answering the

CHAPTER <.

The day that broke on old Fort
Worth thus late in sunshiny May
proved one Of deep anxiety There was
no telegraph wire then to connect it
with the distant headquarters of the
department. If there had been, it would
hare been cut six times week. There
was no way of waving back the coming
convoy or Of signaling danger. Crockett
Springs lay long days ride to the
southeast, and the little troop of cav
airy there in camp was looking for the
coming of no call upon it for duty un-
til early on the morrow it should sup
ply the paymaster and his party with
breakfast, the ambulance with fresh
mules and driver, and the night riders

troopers from Crockett Springs would
take the place of those who had come
from the San Saba and trot along with
the paymaster until somewhere about
midway to Worth they should meet
the 40 sent out the previous night to
bivouao on the prairie and be ready to
take up the gait and keep it until the
man Of money and his safe were we'll
within the limits of the reservation.
But the 80 mile stage from Crockett
to the southeast was the worst on the
long line. The road wound over the di-
vide to the valley Of the San Saba and
on the way had to twist and turn
through defiles of the range of hills
where more than dozen times Indians
and outlaws had defied the little detach-
ments of cavalry scouting after them.
The worst part of the pass lay some 20
miles beyond the stage station at Crock
EFT Springs. Neither Indians nor out
laws, to be sure had been heard of in
that neighborhood for several months
but that proved nothing. 1t was easy
for the latter to sweep from their sup
