for unknown leagues in every direc-
ton. yet Hampton scarcely noted this.
10 watchful was he lest he miss the
trail. To his judgment, Murphy would
not be likely to ride during the night
until after he had crossed the Fourche.
There was no reason to suspect that
there were any hostile Indians south
of that stream. and probably therefore
the old scout would endeavor t con
serve his W strength and that of his
horses. for the more perilous travel
beyond.
About midnight, the trail becoming
obscure. the rider made camp, conf
lent he must have already gained
heavily on the man he pursued. He
lariated his horses and finging him
self down on some soft turf, almost
Immediately dropped asleep. He was
up again before daylight. and, after
q hasty meal. pressed on. The nature
of the country had changed consider
ably. becoming moro broken. the view
circumscribed by towering cliffs and
deep ravines.
Late in the afternoon he refined up
his horse and gazed forward into a
broad valley, bounded with precipi-
tous BLUFFS. Tho trail led directly
down toward where considerable
stream Of water shons silvery in the
sun. half concealed behind a fringe Of
willows. And yonder. close in against
those distant willows, some black dots
wsre moving. Hampton glued his
anxious eyes to the glass. The leveled
tubes clearly revealed a man on horse
back, leading another horse. The ami
mails were walking. There could be
little doubt that this was Silent Muir
ply.
Hampton lariated his tired horses
behind the blur and returned to the
summit. lying hat upon the ground,
with the neld-glass at his eyes. The
distant figures passed slowly forward
into the midst Of the willows, n for
half an hour the patient watcher
scanned the surface of the stream be-
yond. but there was no sign Of at
tempted passage. The sun sank lower
and finally disappeared behind those
lssolate ridges to the westward.
Hampton's knowledge of plainscraft
rendered Murphy's actions sufficiently
sisar. This was the Fourche; beyond
those waters lay the terrible peril Of
Indian raiders. Further advance must
be made by swift, secret night riding,
and never-ceasing vigilance. This was
what Murphy had been saving himself
and his horses for. Beyond c~onjec-
ture. he was resting now within the
shadows of those willows, studying
the opposite shore and making ready
for the dash northward. Hampton be-
lieved he would linger thu for some
time after dark, to see II Indian fires
would arord any guidance. Confident
Of this, he passed back to his horses.
rubbed them down with grass. and
then ate his lonely supper, not entur
ing to light a fire, certain that Muir
phys eyes were scanning every inch
Of skyline.
Darkness came rapidly, while Hamp-
ton sat planning again the details Of
his nights work. Then, with the two
animals trailing cautiously behind. he
felt his slow way on foot down the
steep blum, into the denser blackness
the valley.
