Moily's Story.

The two rode steadily following the
trail left by Hamlin and Hughes
earlier in the morning. As there had
been no wind. and the cold had crust

ponies were easily followed AS they

was. he might not yet have attained
the Indian encampment, which, in
truth. might be much farther away
than Hughes had supposed. The fact
that NO spirals of smoke were visible
puzzled the Sergeant, for in that
frosty air they should naturally be
perceived for considerable distance.
Possibly. however. the bluffs were
higher and more abrupt, farther up

concealment Indeed. 1t was quite
probable that the Indians would seek
the most sheltered spo. available for
their winter camp. irrespective Of any
possible fear Of attack. Reasonably
safe from winter campaign. the
atrocities Of the past summer would
naturally tend to make them unusually
cautious and watchful.

thick blanket. permitted her pony to

hollow. safe from any possible OBJ

the overpowering feeling of terror
which had controlled her for days past
had departed. The mere presence of
Hamlin was An assurance Of safety.
AS she watched him, erect in saddle,
his blue overcoat tightly buttoned. his
revolver belt strapped outside, she no
longer felt any consciousness of the
surrounding desolation or the nearness
Of savage foes. Her heart beat fast
And her cheeks flushed In memory
Of what had SO swiftly occurred be-
