line. They had come upon no more In
dian camps and had seen no more In
dams. Late afternoon found them far
in among the mountains, with snowy
peaks on every side. Yet they were
still long ten miles by trail from
their destination. Upon learning from
Dupont that there was no desirable
camp-site nearer than the mine, Hardy
asked his companion to ride forward
and urge all to faster pace.
The rest of the party had rounded a
heap of rock that lowered up like a
ruined castle at the ridge summit, and
Vandervyn was about to follow them
out of sight, when the thoroughbred
came to a full stop, thirty yards down
the trail, at the foot of the steepest
part of the climb. Considerable of the

He paused moment, waiting to see
II she would make the attempt yolun-
tarily. She stood motionless. He pat
ted her neck and dropped down out
OF the saddle. The suddenness of the
movement alone saved him from the
bullet that pinged down the mountain
side and passed above the saddle pre-
cisely where, an instant before, had
been his midbody.
The report of the rifle had yet to
reach Hardy's ear when he peered over
the mares withers in search of the
smoke of the shot. But though he saw
no smoke, he did not look In vain.
Above a bowlder, high up in q cleft,
he perceived a devilish painted face,
srrmounted by a war bonnet. He
glanced sideways up the ridge slope
at Vandervyn. The young man had
halted his pony on the ridge crest and
was staring back down at Hardy.
Hardy waved to him imperatively.
"Go OIL" ne shouted. Guard Miss
Dupont. May be more Of them. Send
the police around to flank"
Vandervyn's pinto leaped out of
sight. A shot grazed the mares with
ers. In flash he flung up his rifle
and fred at the down-peering devilish
face. 1t vanished as he pressed the
trigger.
Swift as puma, he sprang around
the mares head and dashed up the
slope. keeping large bowlder in line
between himself and his enemy. A bull

Liqht in the Darkness.

Soon Hardy had approached into the
circle of the freight. Some of the
Indians started to aim their weapons
at him. He held up his right hand,
palm forward. A deep voice called out
cultural order. The threatening
bucks drew apart to right and left and
naked boy ran forward with a
blazing stick to drive off the dogs.
Hardy calmly advanced to the fire
between the grim and stolid bucks.
There was not one among them who
was not itching to drive a bullet or
an arrow through his body, and he
knew it. Yet he faced them as coolly
and quietly as if they were his own
party.
The bucks looked toward the far
side of the fire, as if for the signal to
strike down the audacious intruder.
Hardy followed their glances and per-
ceived a blanket-wrapped Indian who

her, and that he wanted to hear his

When Hardy saw the couple ride
ahead, he would have ordered them
back had not Dupont again assured
him that the girl. would not be in the
slightest danger at any time during
the trip.
"YOu were not so certain Of the
friendliness of the Indians toward her

Dupont scratched his head. 'Well,
