CHAPTER Xxx.
The Fight in the Snow.

The slope toward the south had not
been swept clear by the wind and the
horses broke through the crust to
their knees. occasionally stumbling
into hollows where the drifts were
deep. This made progress slow, al
though Hamlin pressed forward reck-
lessly, fully aware OF what it would
mean should the fugitives emerge
first, and thus achieve a clear pass
age to the river. What was going on
there to the right, behind the fringe
Of low hills, could not be conjectured,
but to the left the riders could see
clearly for great distance over the
desolate. snow-draped land, down to
the dark waters of the Canadian and
the shore beyond. 1t was all DESC
late waste, barren Of movement, and
no smoke bore evidence of any Indian
encampment near by. A mile or more
to the west the river took a sharp
bend, disappearing behind the bluffs,
and on the open plain, barely visible
against the unsullied mantle Of snow,
were dark specks. apparently moving.
but in erratic fashion. The distance
intervening was too great for either
man to distinguish exactly what these
might be. yet as they plunged onward
their keen eyes searched the valley

asked the Sergeant finally, pointing as
he turned and glanced back. Quite a

the other positively. "Tha're too close

Then his village will lie in beyond

in his stirrups, shading his eyes. THE
herders haven't driven them far since
the storm broke. You don't see any

Hughes shook his head.
"You wouldn't likely see none

The cowman, muffled to the ears in
buffalo coat, plunged profanely into
the drift. slamming the door behind
him. Hamlin hastily glanced over the
few articles piled in readiness on the
ammunition. blankets. food
paying no heed to Carroll's muttering
OF discomfort BY the time Hughes
returned. he had everything strapped
for the saddles. He thrust the cow
mans rifle under his own flap, but
handed the latter a revolver, staring
straight into his eyes as he did SO.
Il reckon you and have got enough
in common in this chase to play
square" he said grimly. We're both
out after LIE Fevre. amt we?"
You bet"
All right then; here's your gun If
you try any trickery. Hughes. Id ad-
wise that you get me the first shot. for

The man drew the sleeve of his
coat over his lips. his eyes shifting be-

would happen If you attempt any fool
'nln play. Take the lead. you know
'he trail"
Carroll. supporting himself by the
'able. crept across to the door and
watched them, reckless as to the en-
icring cold. The glare Of the white
snow revealed clearly the outlines of
he disappearing horsemen, as they
rode cautiou ,ly down the bank. The
thin fringe OF shore ice broke under
the weight of the ponies hoofs, as the
riders forced them forward into the
Icy water. A moment later the two
crept up the sharp incline Of the op-
posite shore. appearing distinct
against the sky as they attained the
summit. Hamlin waved his hand, and
then. on lope. the figures vanished
into the gloom. Crying. and swearing
at his helplessness the deserted SOL
dier closed the door, and crept back
shivering into his blankets.
Hughes turned his horses head to
The southwest. and rode steadily for

a shaggy. grotesque appearance in
the spectral light reflected from the
snow. Without word Hamlin fol-
lowed, a pace behind. Their route lay
for the first few miles across a COM

valley when we fust sighted the outfit
back thar. Whatcher goin ter do. Ser
geant? Jump 'em a hoss-back. an

Hamlin had thought this over as he
tack. The opening to the valley along
which LIE Feyre's exhausted party
were slowly advancing toward them,
seemed favorable-it was narrow and
badly choked with snow. 1t offered
an ideal place for surprise and was
far enough away from the Indian en-
campment-if the latter was situated
as Hughes believed, in the great bend
above-so that no echo of shots would
carry that distance, even through the
crisp atmosphere. There were two
things the Sergeant had determined
to accomplish If possible-the rescue
of Miss Molly uninjured, and the cap
ture of LIE Fevre. No matter how
deeply he despised the man he could
not afford to have him killed. So far
as the Indians were concerned there
would be no mercy shown, for II
either one escaped he would carry
the news to the village. With all this
in mind the Sergeant swung out OF
the saddle, dropping the rein to the
ground, confident that the tired cow
pony would remain quiet. His belt
was buckled outside the army over.

it, and slipped 1t back loosely into the
holster. Then he pulled out the rifle
from under the flap of the saddle,
grimly handling it in his gloved fin
gers. Hughes, his head sunk into his
fur collar, his hot breath steaming in
the cold atmosphere. watched him
curiously.

There Is shadow there, and they are

Hughes stared long in the direction
indicated, his eyes narrowed into mere
slits.
"Ah! that's it," he said at last.

ly be determined that they moved,
and yet their outlines were distinct
against the background of white snow,
while the two watchers possessed the
trained vision of the plains. Hughes
answered after deliberate inspec.
tion, without so much as turning his
head.
"Thar's four; leastwise thar was
four hosses, and two-the Injuns like
ly-are ridin' double. Thar animals

able ter crawl. Amt had no fodder 1s
bout the size O. it. We ought to be
able ter head thet bunch of fore they
git to the Canadian at thet rate o
travel-hey. Sergeant"
Hamlin's eyes followed the long
sweep Of the cross-ridge. studying its
trend, and the direction rf the inter-
vening valleys. Once down on the
other slope all this extensive view
would be hidden; they would have to
ride blindly, guessing at the particular
swale along which those others were
advancing. To come to the summit
again would surely expose them to
those keen Indian eyes. They would
be searching the ira Il ahead ceaseless-
ly, noting every object along the
crests Of the ridges. However, II the
passage around was not blocked with
snow. they ought to attain the junction
in ample time. With twice as far
to travel, their ponies we're strong and
fit and should win out against lie
Fevre's starved beasts. He waved his
gloved hand.
We'll try it, he said, shortly;
come on, Hughes"
He led off along the steep side Of
the hill. and forcing his horse into a
sharp trot. headed straight out into
the white wilderness; Hughes. with
out uttering a word, brought down his
quirt on his pony's flank and fol-
lowed.
