Weir and Hume heard the shots OF the troopers
and knew that help though it feeble, was at

troops. They started to do what Hall thought tney
would do. They made a dash for some rocks ~
yards nearer their comrades than were those BE-

The cavalry lieutenant knew that the pain OF
Weir and Hume would be bullet spattered all the
way, and that If they escaped being killed 1t would
be because of miracle Then this stripping lieu
tenant did something besides think. The instant
that Weir and his comrade made their break from
cover, Hall stood straight up and presented himself
a fair and shining mark for the Ute bullets.
The reds crashed volley at him, ignoring Weir
and Hume. The shots struck all around Hall, ma

back but he was unhurt, and Weir and his comrade
were behind shelter at the end OF the first stage

Hall dropped back to shelter and then in mo-

breath for their second dash, he stood up once
more daring the death that seemed certain. The
hunted struck for the next spot that offered

deemed almost certain death for the couriers who
would attempt to make the ride. The command

man in the two troops, and that day cowardice
hung its head.
The ranking captain chose Woodall, and then
picked out four men to accompany him on the
ride across the Indian-infested wilderness. The
five cavalrymen went northward under the star

their dog tents in little hollow and started to
make the morning cup of coffee.
