His eyes were so glazed and con-
gested that he could not distinguish
the buffalo bushes along the bank
but he knew in which direction the
river lay, and he toiled, sobbing for
breath, his nose clogged with trick
ling blood.
He was swaying like a drunken
man when he felt the stiff bushes
about his knees. Beneath him rolled
the brown river, dimpled by the
breeze, and sucking and swlrling
round a great jam of driftwood
wedged between sandbar and the
shore
Jackson fell headlong down the
sloping bank, his face striking among
the wet stones. The chill of the water
revived him. lie scrambled forward
on his hands and knees into the
river. The jam offered him a last
haven, and fortunately the water did
not reach above his waist. lie was

bank. For q few moments they
stood there, talking i'm low tones.

and splash as they waded out toward
the jam.

captured and set free that spring
The recognition had been mutual, but
Jackson hardly dared to hope for the
same mercy that he had shown the
warrior. In an agony of apprehen-
sion he waited and listened.
BY and by he heard voices and
could even distinguish few words.
Some one was saying that the river
must have drunk up the white man .
To this the others apparently
agreed. There was a short parley,
followed by the sound of bodies NOV

the current against the jam.
Still Jackson did not dare to move.
For an hour he listened fearfully;
but only the natural noises of the
river were to be heard. Unable to
stand the chill of the water any
longer, he worked his way to the
edge of the jam and looked out. The

EVANSVILLE. CALHOUN COUNTY, W. VA

Is different from doing Il for sport
Fear will lend one wings for a while,
but it is great destroyer of wind and
judgment.
At the end OF the first hundred
yards Jackson was forced to drop his
precious pack. Soon after that he
threw away his rifle and his deer
skin jacket
The Pra.G.e SScad Of him was as
smooth As floor. Jackson could
see no ravine or butte to give him a
moment OF refuge. He looked back
over his shoulder The Blackfeet
were strung out in line behind him.
some evidently outclassed but half
a dozen were running strongly, and
had speed to spare. 1t was apparent
that they were confident of their
ability to tire him out
Now the real race began. With
his hands clenched and head back,
Jackson gradually increased his
speed. The grass spun under his
feet, and where 1t was long, parted
with a sharp tearing sound against
his ankles. Ahead of him, suddenly,
prairie-dog popped into his burrow
then he saw a number of little tails
whisk out of sight, and his heart
swelled with fear.
A stumble would mean his death
warrant, but he did not dare to make
detour round the town" it was
too wide.
He dashed into 1t, feeling the
ground roughen under his feet, and
swaying unsteady as he ran over
the little mounds. The sweat of
fright poured down his lean brown
face and at every step his muscles
cringed lest his foot should strike
one Of the burrows.
The town" was a quarter of a
mile wide, and Jackson was Jared
and alarmingly fatigued when he
struck smooth ground again. A back
ward look showed him that some of
the Blackfeet were out Of the race
but that those in the lead were near
er to him than before. The leading
Indian halted at that instant, and
discharged an arrow, which sang
over Jackson's shoulder, but It was
almost spent. At least, he was prac-
tically out of range.
He began to fear, however. that he
was losing ground at every stride
His strength, too. was going. There
was pain like from a knife thrust
under his ribs, and his lungs were
hot and scared. The buoyancy OF
his body had gone. Every step
Jared him and racked his aching
head. A light, salty foam gathered
on his lips, yet his mouth was burn
ing dry.
There was no refuge on the mer-
cilessly bare prairie, and desperately
he changed his course toward the
Yellowstone. If he could reach It
he was resolved to drown himself
rather than fall into the hands of the
Blackfeet. But could he reach 1t?

sense. 1t was some trick. His eye
cleaned scornfully.
Jackson walked up to him and put
finger On his bare chest.
''I'm not going to kill YOU" he re-
peated. 'or any of your people-if
you let me alone. I'm going away
of, out Of your country" He pointed
toward the north. "Will you let me
go?"
The Blackfoot stared at him, and
the grim lines in his face gradually
relaxed.
You go!" he grunted.
"All right" said Jackson. 'In
trust to the word of chief" and he
walked away without a backward
look.
He had plenty of backward flying
thoughts, however. Would the
Blackfoot repay good with evil?
How near was the band for which he
had been scouting? Would they be
down on his trail the next day? Wor-
ried by these thoughts Jackson trav-
eled fast all that night, and spent
the next day hidden in a cup-like
hollow on the summit of a small
butte, position which, defended by
his long rifle, would have cost the
Blackfeet dear to take.
No Indians came in sight, and the
following night Jackson took up the
trail again with new courage. He
did not change his mode of trav-
cling, however, until he had put
sixty miles behind him. A few more
days saw him out of the Blackfoot

territory and in comparatively safe

When spring was over and the
pelts had begun to grow poor, Jack
son began his long march back to
Fort Union. His pack of prime bea-
yer made him especially anxious to
avoid an encounter with the Black
feet; but in spite of every precau-
ton, he met a band of them just as
he had begun to think the danger
was past.
Fortunately the Blackfeet were not
mounted. They were a canoeing
party that had stopped to rest and
eat in the shade of a bluff On the
Yellowstone River. Jackson and the
scout posted on top of the bank saw
each other at the same instant, and
the trapper halted just long enough
to make sure that the odds against
him were too big to warrant any
show of resistance Then he took to
his heels, running, quartering away
from the river.

The teller simply raised his eyes

"No!" snapped the paying teller.
The messenger boy was so fright
