cts, spreading them carefully over the
shrinking form of the fugitive. Harry
then stepped quickly to the door and
glanced out.
Not far away sounded the crash of
steps. In less than minute the men
who pursued would be in sight
Harry Burns turned back into the
shed. He glanced at the blankets COW
ering the fugitive, and felt his heart
sink The pursuers would surely throw
asideethe covering and seize their man.
What could he do?
Promise not to betray me. boy,
cried the voice from beneath the blank
cts in hoarse accents.
II promise" said Harry.
And then sudden thought entered
his brain. At one side Of the shed were
two large sacks filled with oats. With
the strength born of the occasion the
boy dragged these to the side OF the
grain-boX.
Cutting the strings, Harry soon emp
tied the contents of the sacks into the
box, covering the blankets and man be-
meath to the depth of several inches.
While he was emptying the Ilst sack
face rcered in at the door.
Hello. boyi what are We at?" called
gruff voice.
Cant you see?' returned Harry, as
he coolly shook out the empty sacks
and hung them up over a peg on the
wall
@Housin' oats, Ell? Wall, 1 don't care
fur sich now. Did ye see a man run
min like split down this way a minnit
ago?'
Yes" replied Harry, coolly, stepping
to the door, He passed on in that di-
rection," pointing down the river Who
was he anyhow? What has he done
that you fellows should chase him like
this?
The man laughed as he eyed the boy
keenlV.
Did ye ever hear of Cap'n Grad
dock?" said he.
THE rustler robber?"
'Ther same, boyee."
Certainly 1 have heard of him;
but
Hes Their very chap we're chasin',
boyee. Thar's a thousan' on his head,
and III gin half ter hev him p'inted out
to me-
Harry Burns started and trembled.
Here was a way to help his uncle
immensely and at the same time rid
the country of one of its most danger

wen make short work of old Burns
and their kid" said the leader of The
party. Burn, kill and destroy, that's
the word, pards!"
His order, uttered in loud voice,
reached the ears of Harry, who was
not far from the house. Taking the
alarm. the lad ran to the house, c!osed
and secured the doors just as the
mounted men rode up.
Whats wanted?" called Harry fro-'
an upper window.
Come down out OF that, kid"
shouted the leader of the foray.
What do you want? Graddock isn't
here"

man. with laugh I'VE want old
Zenas Burns
What do you want of my uncle?"
cried Harry, now deeply alarmed at
the warlilke demeanor of the plainsmen.
Hes sick and unable to travel"
Sick. is he! Wal, he'll be sicker
afore we're through with him. ieered

Involuntarily the boy glanced toward
the box of grain.
One word from him would seal the
doom of the Wyoming land pirate. and
enrich himself in a goodly sum besides.
The eyes Of the cattleman We're watch
ing his face keenly.
Harry Burns hesitated as to his duty.
Eff We know whar Their robber is,
speak," commanded the man. "Once 1
git my hands onter him five hundred
dollars is yourn."
The temptation was great, but the
boy had given the marauder his word
that he would not betray him, and,
swallowing a big lump that almost
choked him, Harry said:
II should like the money very much,
and I'd be glad to see the robber cap
tured and punished, but l cannot tell
you where he is.
I'm sorry, but l reckin Well catch
Their. skunk afore Ions anyhow" de-
clared the spokesman of the pursuing
party, passing out and joining his
comrades, who had halted within a
few yards of the house.
Harry knew that had the man under
the oats fallen into the hands of his
TO the limb of the nearest tree. The
lad had indeed saved the fellows life.
Harry walked back to the house and
to the presence of his wounded uncle
to whom he told all that he had done
you did very wrong in giving the
outlaw such a promise. Harry" said
old Zenas Burns. However,, after Civ
ing such a promise you did perfectly
right in refusing TO betray the fellow
After night had fallen Harry lit his
lantern and proceeded to the shed for
the purpose of informing the man
under the oats that the coast was clear
On reaching the spot what was the
lads surprise to find oats and blank
cts flung aside and the outlaw gone.
Hes gone" said Harry, drawing a
relieved breath.
He then walked to the door. At this
moment his ear caught the sound of
horse-hoofs bounding away from the
vicinity of their log stable.
Harry ran to the stable where beau
tiful Black Bess, the fieetest horse in
Wyoming, was sheltered. He flashed
his light into the stable through the
open door.
The place was empty,
Black Bess is stolen!" exclaimed the
border boy. in an excited voice, "and
the man whose life 1 saved has taken
her. This is your gratitude, Captain
Graddock,"
Harry Burns returned to the house,
scarcely able to see whittier he was
going owing TO a mist before his eyes.
He burst into his uncle's presence with
the news. The old man seemed more
deeply grieved than his nephew, for
the beautiful black mare was as the
apple of his eye.
Captain Graddock shows his vile
nature to the last" said the helpless

HIDING AN ENEMY.
A STORY OF NOTED OUTLAWS IN
WYOMING.
Harry Burns Kept Faith Under a
Terrible Temptation and Was
Greatly Surprised at the Result.
BY ]. NJ. MERRILL.

Slowly and thoughtfully Harry Burns
walked along the narrow path leading
from his uncle'S house to the river.
There was much on the boys mind 10
render him thoughtful. A week before
his uncle had been brought in from a
skirmish with rustlers- badly wounded.
Danger lurked behind every bush in
the vicinity of the Burns cabin
Captain Graddock, the noted rustler,
had raided the vicinity only a few
days since. killing several cattlemen,
and running off several hundred head
of valuable stock.
A reward had been placed upon the
outlaws head, and the whole western
country was aroused, determined upon
the capture or humiliation of Grad
dock and his band.
THAT reward of $1,000 would help
Uncle Zenas and me tremendously just

door, boy!"
At this moment a bright flame 1eaped
up near at hand 1t came from the
stable, which the marauders had set
on fire.
Harry saw plainly that the men We're

dashed al the house.
Harry rushed below, determined to
sell his life dearly before a hair of !:is
beloved uncle should be harmed.
Crash came the forms Of several men
against the door.
The board structure trembled, and at
the second rush gave away, Drecipi-
tating several men into the room
where Harry Burns stood at bay, with
his Winchester cooked, ready for use.
There's the kid down with him
and Their old man.
AT this critical moment a cry of
alarm was heard outside Then there

Harry sprang to the open door.
The sight that met his gaze was re-
assuring. A score of bright uniforms
moved here and there-a squad of
United States cavalry-and they were
doing good service as several riderless
horses testified.
With the bluejackets rode a bearded
man on a black steed.
Black Bess!" exclaimed Harry, "and
the thief is riding her.
What did it mean? The lad was not
long in ignorance.

now unused the lad, as he walked
thoughtfully forward.
Scarcely had the boy uttered the
words when the sharp crack of a fire
arm fell on his ear, the sound coming
from the right, and, apparently not
more than a quarter of a mile distant.
Harry sprang quickly forward, alert
for danger. and was soon ascending a
steep mound, the summit of which tow
cred considerably above the surround
ing country. Once the summit was
gained Harry had an unobstructed
view of the country Tor a long dis
tance.
What he saw caused the lad to COM
press his lips and clinch his rifle.
A man was running like a deer to-
ward the river, pursued by a dozen
mounted plainsmen, who were sending
in shot after shot, aiming, evidently,
to kill or cripple the fleeing man.
The fugitive seemed aiming for the
RIVER at a spot near where Harry Burns
was standing. Along the stream the
land was uneven, making difficult rapid
progress on horseback. This fact would
give the pursued man an advantage
when he neared the river.
Harry watched the race with bated
breath. His sympathies were, natu-
rally enough, with the fugitive who was
contending against fearful odds.
The lad drought of Graddock and his
rustlers. and easily imagined that this
man was a poor settler who had in
CURED the displeasure of the rustler
captain, and who was in consequence,
being bounded to death by that motor
ious outlaw and his minions.
With Harry Burns TO think was to
act.
He raised his rifle and fired, more for
the purpose of hating the rough riders
than intention to injure one of them.
What then was his surprise to see one
of the pursuers roll from the saddle
Harry Burns was startled at the
effect of his shot.
In a moment, however. the man who
had fallen from his saddle sprang up,
and was running toward his horse. evil
IDENTITY none the worse for his tumble.
And now the pursued man dashed in

Harry sprang forward to meet the
fugitive. a white-faced, painting man.
with streaming hair and wind-blown
beard.

you hide me somewhere"
This way" called Harry, darting to-
ward his uncle's house.
The boy did not pause until he had
gained the rear of the house and stood
in the open door of a back shed For
one instant he hesitated. then darted
to the side of large grain box over

blankets.
