he consoled, anxious to control her
excitement. Now you and | must
decide what to do next-we are all
alone"
Alone! Has Mr.. Moylan been hit
also?"
YES" he answered, feeling 1t was
better to tell her frankly. He was
shot, and is beyond our help. But
come" and he reached over and took
her hand, you must not give up now. "
She offered no resistance, but sat
motionless, her face turned away.
Yet she knew she trembled from head
TO foot, the reaction mastering her. A
red tongue Of flame seemed to slit the
outside blacknegs; there was single
sharp report, echoing back from the
bluff, but no sound of the striking bull
let. Just an instant he caught a
glimpse of her face, as she drew back,
startled.
"Oh, they are coming again! What
shall we do?"
NO" he insisted, still retaining her
hand, confident in his judgment
Those fellows will not attempt to
rush us again tonight. You must
keep cool, for we shall need all our
wits to get away. An Indian never
risks night assault, unless it is a
surprise. He wants to see what he is
up against. Those bucks have got all
they want Of this outfit; they have
no reason to suppose any of us were
hit. They are as much afraid as we
are, but when 1t gets daylight, and
they can see The shape we're in, then
they'll come yelling"
But they can lie out there in the
dark and shoot" she protested. THAT
shot was aimed at us, wasn't it,"
Il reckon 1t was, but it never got
here. Don't let that worry you; IL an
Indian ever hits anything with gun
it's going to be by pure accident" He
stared out Of the window. They're
liable to bang away occasionally, and
| suppose 1t Is up to us to make some
response just to tell them we're
awake and ready. But they amt fir
ing expecting to do damage-only to
attract attention while they haul off
their dead. There's a red snake yon-

He leaned forward, the stock of the

clutched the window-casing. An In
slant the muzzle of the rifle waverod
slightly, then steadied into position.

muttered in explanation. and pulled
the trigger.
There was light flash, a sharp
ringing report. yell in the distance,
followed by the sound Of scrambling.

CHAPTER VII.
Plans for Escape.

Desperate as he certainly felt their
situation to be, for a moment or two
Hamlin was unable to cast aside the
influence of the girl, or concentrate
his thoughts on some plan for escape.
1t may have been the gentle pressure
of her hand upon his sleeve, but her
voice continued to ring in his ears. He
had never been woman's man, nor
was he specially interested in this
woman beside him. He had seen her
fairly, with his first appreciative
glance, when he had climbed into the
stage on the preceding day. He had
realized there fully the charm of her
face, the dark roguish eyes, the clear
skin, the wealth of dark hair. Yet
all this was impersonal; however
pretty she might be, the fact was
nothing to him and never could be-
Knowing who she was, he compre-
hended instantly the social gulf
stretching unbridged between them.
An educated man himself, with family
connections he had long ago ceased
to discuss, he realized his present
position more keenly than he other
wise might. He had enlisted in the
army with no misunderstanding as to
what a private's uniform meant. He
had never heretofore supposed he re-
GREETED any loss in this respect, his
nature apparently satisfied with the
excitement of active frontier service,
yet he vaguely knew there had been
times when he longed for companion
ship with women Of the class to
which he had once belonged. For.
tunately his border stations offered
little temptation in this respect, and
he had grown to believe that he had
actually forgotten. That afternoon
even-sweetly fair as Miss Mcdonald
undoubtedly appeared-he had looked
upon her without the throb of pulse,
as he might upon picture. She was
not for him even TO admire-she was
Major McDonalds daughter, whom he
had been sent to guard. That was all
then.
Yet he knew that somehow 1t was
different now-the personal element
had entered unwelcomed, into the
equation. Sitting there in the dark,
Gonzales body crumpled on the floor
at his feet, and Moylan lying stiff and
cold along the back seat, with this
girl grasping his sleeve in trust, she
remained no longer merely the Ma
jors daughter-she had become her
self. And she did not seem to care
and did not seem to realize that there
were barriers of rank, which under
other circumstances must so utterly
separate them. She liked him, and
frankly told him so, not as she would
dismiss an inferior with kindness,
but as though he was an equal. as
though he was gentleman. Some
how the very tone of her voice, the
clinging touch of her hand, sent the
blood pumping through his veins.
Something besides duty inspired
him; he was no longer merely SOL
der, but had suddenly become trans
formed into a man. Years of repres-
sion, of iron discipline, were blotted
out, and he became even as his birth
right made him. molly Mcdonald"
MOLLY Mcdonald" he whispered the
name unconsciously to himself Then

THE PRESIDENT CALLS FOR AID
Mr.. Wilson Sends Out Appeal for
Help for Flood Sufferers in
Middle West.

Washington, Mar. 27.-The follow
ing appeal in connection with the
floods in the middle western states
has been issued by President Wilson:
1.-The terrible foods in Ohio and
Indiana have approached the proper
lions of national calamity.
Loss of life and the infinite suf-
fering involved prompts me to issue
an earnest appeal to all who are able.
in however small way, to assist the
labors of the American Red Cross, to
send contributions to the Red Cross
at Washington or to the national
treasurers of the society.
1--WE should make this common
cause. The needs of those upon
whom this sudden and overwhelming
disaster has come should quicken
everyone capable of sympathy and
compassion to give immediate aid to
those who are laboring to rescue
and to relieve.
