dawn gave misty revealment OF the
slugglsh-howing river, the brown slope
opposite, and the darker shadow OF
bluffs beyond. The popping Of those
distant guns had ceased by the time
they attained heir new position, and
they could distinguish the Indians
mere black dots against the brown
slope-advancing in a semicircle to-
ward the silent stage. Evidently they
were puzzled, fearful Of some trlckery
for occasionally a gun would crack
viciously, the brown smoke plainly
visible, the advancing savages hating
to observe the effect. Then a bright
colored blanket was waved aloft as
though In signal, and the entire body,
converging toward the deserted coach,
leaped forward with wild yell, which
echoed family across the water.
The girl hid her face in the sand,
with a half-stifled sob, but the Ser
geant watched grimly. his eyes barely
above the ridge. What would they do
when they discovered the dead bodies?
when they realized that others had
eluded their vigilance during the
night? Would they be able to trace
them, or would his ruse succeed? OF
course their savage cunning would
track them as far as the river-there
was no way in which he could have
successfully concealed the trail made
down the gully, or the marks left on
the sandy bank. But would they imag,

stream, burdened with the girl. con-

quicksand? Would they not believe
rather that he had waded along the
waters edge headed west, hoping thus
to escape to the bluffs, where some
hiding place might be found? Even II
they suspected crossing, would any
warriors among them be reckless

more apt to believe that both fugitives

through his mind, realizing the dead

the Indians suspected the truth and
essayed the passage. Behind them
was sand, ridge after ridge, as far as
the eye could discern, and every ster
they took in flight would leave Its
plain trail. And now the test was al

He saw them crowd ABOUT the coach
leaping and yelling with fury; watched
them jerk open the door, and drag
forth the two dead bodies, dancing
about them, like 80 many demons
brandishing their guns. A moment
they were punched thus, their wild
yelling shrill with triumph; then some
among them broke away. bending low
