Leaf carry water back to camp. We stay and
play on ice,' she added, motioning toward the
buckets.
They were full and too heavy for the little
Rosebud's arms, and she was about to refuse
to do the bidding of the Brule girl, when a
thought suddenly caused her to make an
effort to carry them.
With a faint hope that she might yet es-
cape, Red Leaf took hold of the water buckets
Brules stayed behind to slide ON the ice.
Soon the trees hid her from their sight, and
setting down the buckets, she looked about
her, like timid, hunted rabbit, not knowing
what course to take.
The wild dance was still going on at the
camp, and the flash of the fires could be
seen clearly. The sentinel might be near by,
while the little girls were likely to come run
ming after her at any moment. Ii she mace
an effort to escape she realized that it must
be made quickly.
Putting the buckets in the deep shadow of
large tree, where the girls would NOT. see
them readily and so might think she had re-
turned to the camp, Red Leaf, her small form
Qulver1ng with excitement, sped SWHliy away
through the woods.
She lodged along from the shadow of one
tree to another. until the camp-fres were lost
to view. Every moment she feared that she
would be stopped by some hostile guarding
the outskirts.
But her yellow moccasins prevented her
making any noise as she fled along through
the dark wood. She knew they would search
for her as soon as her flight was discovered,
and, if captured, she did not doubt but the
fiendish Brues would kill her.
She had no definite plan Of escape in mind,
except to reach the agency. She knew the
government must have scouts and soldiers
somewhere. between, her and the agency. and
to some of them she hoped to give warning
in time to save her white friends.
Red Leaf had gone almost a mile from
where she had started, when she heard pony
tearing madly along, some distance behind
her.
Surely it was some one following her trail
and, in wild apprehension of being captured,
she darted forward with increased speed.
Nearer and nearer came the pony, in full
gallop.
1t was useless to try to keep ahead of Der
pursuer, and, with the hope of finding hid
ing-place, Red Leaf ran, with light feet. to-

almost as terrifying to her as they would
have been to a little white girl.
The greatest excitement reigned in the
camps. Two Brules had just returned from
scouting. They had discovered that it would
be possible for large party to steal stealtl1ly
off through the woods, enter deep rayine,
and, escaping the observance of the govern
ment scouts, make an attack on Pine Ridge
Agency, which they considered poorly garri-
soned and ready to fall into their hands with
out much of struggle.
The other Indians entered into confer
ence, and advised against such a movement;
but the hot-headed young Brules turned away
in contempt and began dancing.
Little Red Leaf had overheard enough to
understand the situation. and she knew it
was. the design of a large force of young
Brules. contrary to the advice Of Red Cloud
and other old chiefs, to ride away about mid
night, and attempt to capture the agency by
surprise.
Red Leaf loved the whites, and her heart
was sad with the thought of the planned
raid and its result. More earnestly than ever
agency and give warning of the hostiles'
daring plot
But she was given no opportunity to carry
her wishes into execution. for scouts were
exerting greater vigilance than ever to make
sure no one left the camps.
1t was long past sunset, and the woods
would have been wrapped in intense dark
ness but for the bright fires kept burning
here and there
"Red Leaf go and help carry water from
creek" said voice behind her.
Three little girls about her own age, but
whose countenances betrayed the savage Brule
blood in their veins, had come up behind
her with buckets for holding water in their
hands
Red Leaf, 60" repeated the eldest, tug
gng at the little Rosebud's sleeve.
Tired of watching the uncouth dancing,
and glad OF pretext to get away from the
scene, Red Leaf went with the girls, who
had been sent to fetch water from the stream,
short distance below the camps.
They met brave doing sentinel duty. but,
learning their. errand. he permitted them to
pass without hindrance
The water in the creek had been frozen
over, but in two or three places the Indians
had made holes with heavy poles, so the chill
dren had no difficulty in filling their buckets
"Red Leaf want to go to agency heap bad"
remarked the eldest girl.
II want to be with my father" answered
Red Leaf, her eyes turned wistfully south
ward.
'Swift Horse pale face now-no brave!"
was the contemputous reply.
"My father is kind and good" defended
the little Rosebud.

FTER the action at Wounded Knee,
"A the hostile Sioux retreated in the
greatest confusion; but when sufh-
cient order had been restored among
them, they established camps about six miles
beyond Pine Ridge Agency.
While the soldiers were busy fortifying the
agency to repell the threatened attack, scarci.
ty of food and poor shelter were causing great
suffering among the hosties, whose many
sick and wounded could not be properly
cared for
Everything seemed to point to a battle be-
tween the hostile and friendly Indians, who
desired to abandon the camps and go to the
agency.
Many expressed their purpose to go, but
were deferred by the troublesome, reckless
Brules, who threatened to shoot the first one
that offered to leave.
A Gordon of United States troops was
drawing tighter around the hostiles, and the
friendhes were dreading the fight which
seemed imminent.
The Brules, well armed and quarrelsome,
were on guard constantly, while they kept
fires burning all night to prevent any one
from escaping from their camps.
Little Red Leaf stood alone on the edge of
the hostile camp, watching band OF brule
young men preparing to engage IN the horrl-
BILE orgies of the ghost dance.
Little Red Leaf was eleven years old, with
clear, dark skin, regular features, and great,
velvety black eyes like young fawn's She
was the child Of civilized Indians of the Rose
bud tribe. Her mother was dead, and her
was often employed by the government in
different capacities.
He had gone to Pine Ridge Agency on
business, and had left Red Leaf with a fam
lily of friendly Rosebuds, in perfect safety as
ridden away than the family had joined the
fleeing Indians, taking little Red Leaf with
them.
The wild Brules, with their hideous rites,
terrified the little Indian girl and she longed
to escape from her hateful surroundings. But
it had become known to the hostile scouts
that Swift Horse had really gone to the
agency to become a scout for the soldiers,
and for that reason she was watched very
closely to prevent her joining her father.
The knowledge that she was forced to stay
among SO many who hated Swift Horse, be-
cause of the side he had espoused in the
trouble, made Red Leaf very uncomfortable
indeed.
She had attended school at the agency, and
had been raised to follow the customs Of civ
ilzation all her life, so the ghost dances and
shocking performances of the hostiles were

ward high rocky bluff, which doomed shad-
owy through the gloom OF night on the bank
of deep ravine.
She reached the bluff in safety, but one
of her little moccasins caught in wlthered
vine trailing over projecting boulder, and
she fell heavily to the ground.
The horesman was almost upon her. and
Red Leaf was about yielding to despair,
had caused her fall might also afford her con-
cealment.
1t was the work of second for her to part
the vines and draw herself securely in be-
tween them and the rocks
She had scarcely done 80, when Yelling
Wolf, the Brule scout, drew rein at the foot
of the bluff, not twenty feet from the little
fugitive's retreat.
The scout was puzzled. He had believed
that he was on Red Leafs trail, and thought
to have run her down long before.
When the little girls flight from the hos
tile camp had been discovered scouts had
been dispatched in various directions through
the woods to overtake and bring back the
runaway.
1t was generally agreed among the half
score OF scouts on Red Leafs trail, that she
could not have travelled far; so they kept
close, together, searching the woods thor
However, Yelling Wolf had been sent ON
ahead to make fires here and there along the
way which they believed the little girl had
taken. These fires would enable the scouts
to search more carefully, and render the es
cape Of Red Leaf almost impossible.
The hostiles knew if she succeeded in reach
ing the agency, their plot and the general
situation of their camps would be revealed.
Their endangered plans made the hostiles
savagey determined that she must not es-
cape.
Yelling Wolf halted at the bluff, Ieaped
from his pony's back, and began collecting
sticks to make fire.
Very soon bright blaze was lighting I'd
the side of the bluff, as if deriding the dark
ness around.
Red Leaf. with despairing heart, watched
the ire as it grew bigger and brighter. and
expected every moment that the keen eyes
of the scout would fall on the hiding place.
But the shadow OF a tree fell across the
rocks where she crouched so the vines were
not exposed to the full light Of the fire.
PeeriIng from ON her shelter, Red Leaf could

Leaving his pony to stand without the
circle of the fire where he had dismounted.
the scout approached Red Leafs retreat.
Her heart almost stopped beating, from
great fright and the certainty that She was
about to be discovered.
