1 was about all he could think Pure ly as a matter of precaution a gun
 was taken to the sleeping room though Mir. Cook took good care tha
 he had it and that there were nc
 other loose weapons around the house
 MT. Cook remarked that there seem
 ed to be an unusual number Oi
 horses passing and repassing the
 house that evening and spoke of a
 report he had heard during the day
 regarding the Mcdowell Indians. nei-
 ther of which remarks added to the
 peace of mind of the St. Louis young man.
 In the meantime pr. MOeur was in town organizing forces. It was raining at the time and was just the night for an Indian uprising. He had no difficulty in securing a dozen or so braves who mounted horses and borrowed every gun in town they could get their hands on. Many of the Indians" knew that Mir Kinster was brave for they had heard him say so; they merely wanted to prove the assertion. They didn't find out until later what a record he held for speed.
 Dr. Moeur and three or four others who couldn't get horses, accompanied the party in the doctors machine. Arriving at the house. the Indians carefully surrounded the house. meanwhile MT. Cook was worrying over the report he had heard in an audible tone of voice. The victim was in just the right stage-the phy- chologica moment was at hand and the Indians charged with a volley Of shots and a yell that almost chilled Mir Cook. expecting it as he vTls. At the first shot Kinster went under the bed Mir. Cook exchanged shots with the raiders. "This'n do" he said. They'll burn the house sure. we'll have to make for the brush" They ran down stairs, the tenderfoot hay ing strangle hold on MT. Cook i've only one shot left said MT. Cook. make for the brush" Evident ly Kinster's first thought was the creamery and he struck for it in his night gown. he struck out across the front yard.

Going through two more fences in a like manner and leaving each adorn- ed with a bit of night gown. he reached the road The doctors ma chine with the lights out vas left standing in the road and the victim. stopping for nothing collided with it with force sufficient to pdt one of the lamps on the bum. He had clear sailing for the factory then and with an Indian behind him on horseback shooting at every jump. he made marvellous time. Overhauling a milk wagon. he induced the driver to take him on. He arrived at the fac tory a moment later and his appear ance san be better imagined that told An ordinary night gown is not wire fence proof and when he reach ed the plant. his raiment consisted principally of shreds.
 He was scratched from head to foot though fortunately none of his

They found that gentle man still playing the part; he was behind tree. saving that last shot for a time when it would do the most damage to the raiders. The bet ter part of the rest of the night was devoted by MT. Kinster to telling how it happened, much to Mir. Cooks distress for he wanted to sleep. Ru- minating on the events of the raid Mir. Kinster suddenly thought of the dog, Blanche. that had accompanied him to the creamery. She's a of a dog" he remarked" She couldn't begin to run as fast as I did
 It was not until well along yes terday forenoon that MT. Kinster be- gan to see through it He left last evening for Los Angeles but in jus ice to him he should be said that his departure at that time had been pre- arranged He didn't leave be- cause he was afraid.
