strewn slope that left no doubt it wa
the gap they sought.
F., Here, indeed, was the gap. But dit
1t hold for them death or safety? /
unoccupied, they could hold it agains
their enemies as long as their ammuni
ton lasted. But If occupied their doom
was sealed
Could the Indians have won through
to it ahead of them? Difficult, but pos
sible. True, not once had they caugh'
glimpse of the movement of the west
OF them. But this fact to them was ar
ominous rather than an encouraging
sign, for they we'll knew the enemy
was much too willy to have left theil
west flank uncovered.
Come what might, the gaining pos
session of the gap must be attempted;
within few minutes their horses must
go down, and then it would remain
only a matter of minutes until their
pursuers were upon them.
At the foot of the tiny pass they
dropped off their trembling horses
and drew their pistols. They advanced
up the steep slope, leading their
mounts, winding and twisting their
way through the sand that had sifted
in between great boulders strewn so
thickly that they were scarcely able
to work the horses through them.
Three-fourths of the way up the as.
cent, on the right, lay a deep but low
recess, sheltered from fire from the
opposite wall If they could reach it
they should be able to hold 1t until
starved out-and there was chance
the Indians would starve out first for
water.
Caution in their advance was USE
less. If the pass was occupied, 1t was
out of the question to get through un'
detected.
So on they plodded. ,
Then it all came in second. Coin
cidentally with the volley the Indians
poured upon them, upon each sprang
a pair of lancers. Fountain accounted
for his brace before they got within
striking distance, but Arollo was less
fortunate. He failed to down his sec
ond antagonist until he had received
a lance thrust through the lung that
dropped him.
While his left shoulder was broken
by the first fire, a shot that nearly
knocked him down, Fountain sprang
forward over their horses, struggling
in their death agonies, to the aid OF
Arollo, just in time to drop fifth war
rior who was leaping forward to finish
Kim. But in the very instant he fired,
a violent last kick by Arollo's dying
horse broke his leg and sent him roll
ing within the recess both had been
praying they might reach.

slackened, for no beasts could long
continue at their top speed in the heat
and across the sandy reaches OF the
tornado. Indeed, toward evening
Fountain and his companion began to
take heart, for they were steadily gain
ing: in the long squirt to gain their
right flank evidently the Indians had
ridden the heart out of their mounts.
The ominous black wall Of the lava
ledge now doomed palmer at each hard
laboring bound of their painting horses.
Turn eastward they could not, for that
would be to lose to the pursuing party
the distance they had gained and
mean a finish fight with no better COW
er than the perpendicular wall of the
ledge to protect their rear. Turn
westward for Fort McRae they dared
not; their mounts were too near done.
On and on their worn horses I'M
steadily plunged, no more spring IN
their pasterns, drawn Of flank, breath
coming in short, agonized sobs. AT
any instant one of the now momentary
stumbles might bring them to earth
for good.
AS the sun sank behind the purple
summit Of the Caballos the band on
their right swung into more direct pur-
suit of them.
The short twilight faded apace.
Would the gap in the ledge never be
reached? Or had they been crowded
to the west of it by the band? Ger
tainly they must have missed It, for
now they had been pushing west par
allel with the basalt wall for good
twenty minutes.
But, finally, just as the blue-black
night of the high plateau enshrouded
them, to their Joy they distinguished
a deep nick in the horizontal wall that,
as they advanced. showed the boulder

FEDS WANT MARANyILLE
Offer shortstop Of Worlds Champions
$4,000 a Year

Boston, Dee. 1.-THE Federal
League has offered Rabbit Maran-
vile, star shortstop of the Boston Ma
tional League baseball team, $4,000
year for three years, the money to
be placed in bank when Maranville
signs the contract. 1t is said that the
RABBIT, declined the offer, but the
scouts are still on his trail, and the
"Feds' are reported to be far from
discouraged over their chances of land
ing the Braves player. They are pre-
pared to make a still more advantageous
offer, it is rumored.
Maranville, who is now on the vaude-
vile stage, is said to be loath, to leave
Boston, where he is the idol of base
bah fans, and is in close management
of the team. He has long contract
here, and it. will have to be a most al
Turing proposition that will induce him
to jump.
