Consequently one-half of her face

His name 1t were Bill Withers. and we
got away from q wreck In the Indian

water and food gave out, and l says to
Bill, says I:
"'Bill, we can go about three days

there was nothing more to be said

I says to Bill:

their trail from out the dark ray!nes
on either side. The Indians and their
captive fastened onward. but che
cries of the wolves came nearer ard
nearer, while each moment added to
the volume of the cry. They must
seek place Of safety soon or the
bloodthirsty brutes would be upon
them. The savages were aware Of
this. and also that place Of refuge
was close at hand.
The rock of which we have spoken
lowered before them. Reuben knew
1t at a glance. for he had seen 1t sey-
eral times when on his hunting trips
IN the forest. Once upon 1t he knew
that they would be out Of the way OF
the wolves. But how were they 70
get there! This question was soon
solved. With the aid Of their toma-
hawks notched stick was hastily pre-
pared, and. leaning this against the
rock. one Of the savages hastily clam
bered thereon. Then Reuben was told
to do the same. He made the attempt.
but 1t was soon evident that he could
not get up without the aid Of his
hands. Convinced of this, the saw
ages hastily unbound them. and he
scrambled up. The other savage fol-
lowed close behind him, and not =
moment too soon. The foremost wolf
sprang at his legs as he drew them up.
Casting the stick down among them,
they felt themselves safe.
The wolves snarled about the rock.
sprtnging up against Its sides. only to
fall back again In impotent rage.
Reuben threw himself down upon the
summit. apparently without hope or
thought Of escape. OF course there
was no chance then, and the savages
seemed to know 1t. At least they did
not again bind his hands. as he had
feared they would do. The minutes
went on, and below them the wolves
snarled and CRASHED their teeth in inn
potent rage.
Suddenly an idea presented itself to
Reuben-a thought that seemed to
give him a promise Of escape. It
might not succeed. but II 1t failed
his situation could hardly be worse.
He watched his opportunity. and
summoned all the strength he had for
the attempt he was to make. 1t was
his only chance. and a desperate one
ut that.
Selecting the moment when the gaze
of both the savages was turned FROM
him, he suddenly sprang upon the
nearest, and gave him a blow and .
push. Taken by surprise, 1t was i'm
possible for the savage to resist the
impetus given him. and, with wild
cry, he went down over the rock into
the midst of the bloodthirsty creatures
below. Quick as thought, Reuben
turned upon the remaining savage,
who stood as though COMPOUNDED by
the fate of his comrade, and gave him
| q vigorous blow. With q c-y that Al
most drowned the snarling OF the
