manded a view in all directions. Up
on this point stands an Indian. His
arrow-like form silhoutted against the
horizon gave him the appearance of
an lnanimate rather than an animate
body. The afternoon sun was not far
above the distant rimrocks. 1t was a
picture for an artist to draw. The
ragged rocks along the earth's sur
face, the walls which converged from
many directions toward the pedestal

projected the fiat rimrocks, and these
crowned by the statue-like form of the
Indian, whose gaudy war bonnet indi-
Gated that he was a chief, made the
view a romantic one indeed.

the Indian in his own tongue, at will

toyed with a scalp of long hair, that
of woman, tossed by the wind at his
belt.
But his mind was soon relieved on

taking care to examine his bow and
culver, tomahawk, and scalping knife
TO see that all were intact. Seating
nlmself upon boulder that jetted
from the wall many feet above
the level plain, he waited the
approach Of his visitor. When the
latter came within hailing distance a
familiar salute from each showed the
mutual recognition.
The two men on the top of the rim
rocks. conversed familiarly. While
the reader already knows that one was
Chief Egan he has also surmised that
the other was Dan Follett, which IS
true. To look upon the countenances Of
these two men was an interesting
study. The old Indian chief, a ma
rauding bandit, bore scars showing the
terrible episodes of his life. while the
Canadian Frenchman bore marks
placed there by time which showed
the villianous character of the man.
The one, robbed of his country,
forced to the barren rocks and lava
beds for existence, had become an
outlaw from necessity. The other,
containing q mixture of blood of the
exiled criminals of a superior race
mixed with that of the most blood
thirsty and treacherous of an inferior
race. was villain from choice and by
nature.
There were bluffing looks and grim
smiles from each, but the arrival OF
the band of horses caused them to rise
to their feet, and with shout from
old Egan's lips his warriors appeared
from recess in the rocks below,
heretofore unobserved, and took
charge of the band of animals repre-
senting the prize money for the muir
der Of Bertha Lyle.
Taking the woman's scalp, Dan Fol
lett climbed down the rocks and Join
ing his men they saluted the Indians
and rode away. The Indians drove
the horses into a deep canyon pene-
trating the rimrocks, and the stiffness
of approaching night closed the scene.

ters. It was such a night as lovers
would walk in civilization. 1t was
such a night as would thrill the
hearts of all people It was such
a night as the Indian warrior
would venture upon a deed of daring.
1t was such a night as aroused the
deepest passions in the bosom of the
marauding chief.
He motioned his warriors. who were
on guard, to take their leave. and
then attempted a conversation by
signs and mods with Bertha. Hoping
that it might mean her escaDe she
tried to understand him. With this
encouragement he grew more bold
and approached her more closely. Wo-
mans intuition told her at once of
this awful meaning and she rose up
in her woman's weakness to defend
herself against this giant chief. who
had long been the terror of the desert
Fortunately for humanity 1.-the ath-
letic form had glided down the steep
walls of the rimrocks in the darkness
long before the moon rose. and had
been waiting in hiding for an oppor-
tune time. Rushing forward like a
wildcat he seized the wicked old war
rior by the throat. and there was at
once a grapple between giants.
But in spite of the silent PRAYERS of
Bertha for the success of her unknown
rescuer and his determined grip on
the old chiefs throat, the latter gave
cry that called to their feet the en-
tire detachment of warriors. and they
came like a storm to the aid of their
chief,
