CHAPTER n.
Old ellis, Girl.

Guided by the unerring instinct Of
an old Indian fighter, ellis, during
that first mad retreat, had discovered
temporary shelter behind one OF the
largest powders. II was a trife In
advance Of those later rolled into posi-
ton by the soldiers, but was of size
and shape which should have afforded
ample protection for two, and doubt
less would have done so had 1t not
been for the firing from the cliff op-
posite. Even then 1t was a detected
bullet, glancing from of the polished
surface of the rock, which found lodg-
ment in the sturdy old fighters brain.
The girl had caught him as he fell, had
wasted all her treasured store of wa
ter in vain effort to cleanse the blood
from his features, and now sat there,
pillowing his head upon her knee. al
though the old m2l was stone dead
with the first touch of the ball. That
had occurred fully an hour before, but
she continued in the same posture, a
grave, pathetic figure, her face sobered
and careworn beyond her years, her
eyes dry and staring, one brown hand
grasping unconsciously the old mans
useless rife. She would scarcely have
been esteemed attractive even under
much happier circumstances and as.
sisted by dress, yet there was some
thing in the independent poise of her
head, the steady fixedness of her pos
ture, which served to interest Hamp-
ton as he now watched her curiously.
Fighting blood he muttered ad-
miringly to himself. Might fail to
develop into very much of a society
bell, but likely to prove valuable out
here"
She was rather a slender slip OF a
thing, a trifle too tall for her years,
perhaps, yet with no lack Of develop
ment apparent in the slim, rounded
figure. Her coarse homemade dress
of dark calico fitted her sadly, while
her rumpled hair, from which the
broad-brimmed hat had fallen, pos
sessed a reddish copper tinge where
it was touched by the sun. Mr. Hamp-
tons survey did not increase his de-
sire for more intimate acquaintance.

fragments Of rock dislodged falling In
q shower upon his upturned face: but
the fearless rascal sang serenely on
to the end. without q quaver.
Mistake It for a death song likely"
he remarked dryly, while the last
clear, lingering note. reechoed BY the
cliff. died reluctantly away in softened
cadence. Beautiful old song. SER
geant, and | trust hearing 1t again has
done you good. Sang 1t once in a
church way back in New England.
But what Is the trouble! Did you call
me for some special reason!"
YES" came the almost gruf re-
Spouse; for Wyman, the fever steal
ing back upon him. felt half ashamed
of his unshed tears. That Is, pro-
vided you retain sufficient sense to
listen. Old ellis was shot over an
hour ago, yonder behind that big
bowlder, and his girl sits there still
holding his head in her lap. She'll get
hit also unless somebody pulls her out
Of there, and she's doing no good to
Gillis-he's dead"
Hampton's clearcut, expressive face
became graver, all trace Of reckless.
ness gone from it. He lifted his head
cautiously, peering over his rock cover
toward where he remembered earlier
in the fight ellis had sought refuge.

For what may have been the Hrst
ana only occasion In Mr.. Hampton's
audacious career. he realized his utter
nelplessness. This mere slip Of a
red-headed girl. this little nameless
Waif OF the frontier, condemned him
30 completely. and without waste OF
words, as to leave him weaponless.
Mr.. Hampton was a thorough.going
sport. and no quality was quite so act
TO appeal to him as dead gameness.
He glanced sureptitiously aside at
her once more. but there was no sign
OF relenting in the averted face. He
rested lower against the rock, his face
upturned toward the sky, and thought.
II was no spirit Of bravado that gave
rise to his reckless speech Of an hour
previous. 1t was simply a spontaneous
outpouring Of his real nature, an I'm.
premeditated expression Of that su.

preme carelessness with which he re.
garded the future, the small value he
set on life. He truly felt as utterly in.
different toward fate as his words
signined. Deeply conscious of a life
long ago irretrievab!y wrecked. every.
thing behind a chaos, everything be.

actually seeking death; a hundred
times he had gladly marked its ap.
parent approach, smile of welcome
upon his lips. Yet it had never quite
succeeded in reaching him, and moth.

he did not in the least covet. But
now, miracle of all miracles, just as
the end seemed actually attained,
seemed beyond any possibility of be.

ence a desire to live-he wanted to
save this girl.
His keenly observant eyes, trained
by the exigencies of his trade to take
note of small things, and rendered
eager by this newly awakened ambi.
ton, scanned the cliff towering above
them. He perceived the extreme ir.
regularity of its front, and numerous
peculiarities Of formation which had
escaped him hitherto. Suddenly his
puzzled face frightened to the birth OF
an idea. By heavens! It might be
done! Surely 1t might be done Inch

the stone, those sturdy cedars GROWING
straight out over the chasm like the
oowsprits of ships, while all along the
way, irregular and ragged, varied riffs
not entirely unlike the steps of a crazy

The very conception Of such an ex.
plot caused his flesh TO creep. But he
was not of that class Of men who fall

Again and again. led by an impulse

deed might be accomplished, although
1t would test the foot and nerve of a
Swiss mountaineer. He glanced again
uneasily toward his companion and
saw the same motionless figure. the
same somber face turned deliberately
away. Hampton did not smile, but his
square jaw set, and he cllnched his
hands. He had no fear that she might
fail him, but for the first time in all
his life he questioned his own courage

Lying fat upon his stomach, both

Of rock, or a mop of coarse, black
hair appear above the edge of a gully,
either incident resulting in a quick
interchange of fire. That was all; yet
the experienced frontiersmen knew
that eyes as keen as those of any wild
animal Of the jungle were watching
murderously their slightest movement.
Wyman, now reclining in agony
against the base of the overhanging
cliff, directed the movements of his
little command calmly and with sober
military judgment. Little by little, un-
der protection Of the rifles of the three
civilians, the uninjured infantrymen
crept cautiously about, rolling loosened
powders forward into position, until
they finally succeeded in thus erecting
a rude barricade between them and the
enemy. The wounded who could be
reached were laboriously drawn back
within this improvised shelter, and

teers sought vainly to pierce those

lines Of savage watchers. A long.
wailing cry of agony from out the
thick darkness told the fate of their
first messenger, while Casey, of the
"XL," crept slowly, painfully back,
with an Indian bullet embedded deep
in his shoulder. Just before the COM
ing of dawn, Hampton, without utter
ing a word, calmly turned up the collar
OF his tightly buttoned coat. so as
better to conceal the white collar he
wore, gripped his revolver between his
teeth, and crept like some wriggling
snake among the black rocks and
through the dense underbrush in
search after water By some miracle
Of divine mercy he was permitted to
pass unscathed, and came crawling
back, dozen hastily filled canteens
dangling across his shoulders. 1t was
like nectar to those parched. feverish
threats; but Of food barely a mouth
full piece remained in the haver-
sacks.
The second day dragged onward, its
hours bringing no change for the bet
ter, no relief, no slightest ray of hope.
The hot sun scorched them pitilessly.
and two of the wounded died delirious.
From dawn TO dark there came no
slackening of the savage watchfulness
which held the survivors helpless be-
hind their coverts. The merest I'D
lifting Of head, the slightest move
ment of hand, was sufficient to DEM
onstrate how sharp were those savage
eyes.
Another long, black night followed,
during which, for an hour or so in
turn, the weary defenders slept, toss
ing uneasily. and disturbed by fearful
dreams. Then gray and solemn. amid
the lingering shadows of darkness.
dawned the third dread day of IN
equal conflict. All understood that II
was destined to be their last on this
earth unless help came.
For two days Wyman had scarcely
stirred from where he lay bolstered
against the rock. Sometimes he be-
came delirious from fever, uttering in
coherent phrases, or swearing in pitt
full weakness. Again he would par

command. Now he twisted painfully
about upon his side, and, with clouded
eyes. sought to discern what man was

was the fact that this man was not

is that you.' Hampton" he ques-
toned, his voice barely audible.
The person thus addressed, who was
lying fiat upon his back, gazing ST.
lently upward at the rocky front of
the cliff, turned cautiously over upon
his elbow before venturing reply.
Yes; what is 1t. sergeant? 1t looks

! There was a hearty. CHEEKY ring to
his clear voice which left the pain
