SO he determined to go ahead and
trust to his usual good luck either To
outrun or outwit them. Without slack
ening speed he rode on toward them.
He was armed, Of course. A repeat
Ing rife was slung across his back and
revolver and a knife were stuck in
his belt.
When they were within 200 yards OF
each other, the Indians stopped. their
guns In their hands. Sam stopped also
and unslung his rife. Perhaps at this
distance he might prove to be the bet

way, he much preferred to fight with
200 yards between them and he re-
solved to move no farther, but walt for
developments.
Meanwhile the Indians conferred
with each other for a few minutes and
one OF them signed for him to come
on. He promptly signed that he
wouldn't do It. -
At this the redskins started toward
him, holding up their hands In token
of friendship. But Sam was too shrewd
to be caught In such a trap-he knew
them too well. His reply was a shot
from his rife, and one of the Indiana
tumbled off his horse.
The other two Immediately fired at
him, their balls whistling harmlesslv
by him. but nevertheless, Sam fell
from his pony to the ground and lay
still In the long grass The pony stood
like a rock, for Sam had thrown the
reins over his head
All this time his enemies were gal

shot from them would no doubt have

desperate highwaymen

beasts and desperate highwaymen
were frequent
One OF the pluckiest riders was lit
tie Sam Dudley. He was only eighteen
years DID, and his build was almost as
slight as woman's, but the strongest
man couldn't stand fatigue any better
than Sam. He seemed to be made up
of steel and steam.
Sam had Il route that was particu.
larry dangerous, as 1t lay IN a region
where bands Of Shoshone Indians were
always prowiing about War-path or
no war-path, they robbed and butcher
cd white men whenever they found
them at a disadvantage, and when pur-
sued by parties sent out to avenge the
outrage they hid themselves among the
rocks and lay quiet until 1t was safe
to come out again.
This was down In Nevada, near the
Toduim mountains. Sam rode from
Austin to San Juan, distance OF fifty
miles, his course running most of the
way along the Reese river.
Sam was due In San Juan one after
noon about o'clock, but that hour
had passed, and then 4 o'clock, and he
had not arrived. The mail agent SEEM
ed to be trifie uneasy as be talked
about the delay.
He said Sam Dudley, the rider, was
as brave a fellow as ever straddled a
pouch, but there were bands of Indians
ali along his route and he thought 1t
only a question Of time when they
would wing him.
He had already had adventures with
them, In which his escapes had been
little less than marvellous, and 1t was
while he was telling me about one of
them that we heard shouts outside his
cabin, followed by the sound of a
horses feet st rapid gallop.
Every enc hurried out and saw a
sight that was by no means uncommon
In such country. A young fellow,
apparently a mere boy In years, was
riding toward the station on a dark
bay mustang.
His buckskln clothes were soiled
and bloody and his left arm hung limp
and useless at his side. His right
hand grasped the long black hair of an
Indians scalp, which he swung round
and round above his head. The relns
lay upon the pony's neck, but the beast
knew his stopping place and needed no
guiding. In minute more he had
halted and all anxiously approached
the rider.
1t was Sam Dudley, the young mail
carrier, pale and weak from wounds
and loss of blood. He was helped off
