noticed standing by the building

aboard, also had moved in. Why?

he saw one of them pull his re-
volver. Tom started to pull his
left leg up under him but he felt
a sharp pain in the knee. Some
thing caused him to fall back
He turned his head quickly TO
watch the man with the gun. He
saw the weapon turn in the hand
and fall to the floor, and with /.
fell a knife which had come
from someplace. The intended
gun wielder grabbed his hand
as blood spurted from his wrist
All was confusion for the next
several seconds. Bystanders rush

were still on their feet. The fell

came to, but the second was out
like a light. Tom reached down
to examine his leg, and to try
to learn the cause of all the pain.
At the same time felt the warm
hands of Nora, as she placed
them on his shoulder only to let
them slip down under his chin.
"Are you hurt?" she said, placing
her cheek against his and lightly
pressing her right hand against
his face.
Something is wrong with my
left leg" answered Tom. 81 can't

moved up to the rail and stood
at her side. Nora was just about
ready TO walk away from this
predicament when she spied Tom

knowing exactly what she should

she decided TO pretend that Tom

nick of time, it had cut down a

one?"
"Army doctor at the fort" vol
unteered the officer in charge
of the soldier detail.
How can we get him there?"
There is no way except one
of these army wagons"
"All right" said Galloway. He
walked over to the officer in
charge and at the same time
reached in his inside coat pocket.
He pulled out some paper and
wrote on it. Officer, will you

BY the command of the officer
in charge, the detail soon had
two boards nailed together and
ready to load Tom on the wagon
for the trip to the fort.
"Wingate," said Galloway as
Tom lay on the makeshift stretch

Just as the soldiers started to
pick Tom up to place him in the
wagon, Nora Galloway ran up,
placed her hands on either side

resounding kiss. This is hoping
that you get well quickly and
that I'll see you in Fort Benton.

"All right now, Honey, you just

thing will be fine, l hope"
In the meantime Carlson had
come up with couple of men.
Also, several soldiers from the
docks had made their way up
the gangplank and were stand

down, picked up the first man
Tom had hit, stood him on his
unsteady feet and said, "Kennon,

but it seems you won't have it

This is my fight, Marsh, and

one whom the captain had adj
dressed as Kennon.
"This boat and all on it are

captain. "This fight or anything

The government commissary
wagon, drawn by two mules, lum-
bered off the miles toward the
hospital and a doctor, but Toms
mind was not idle. Even though
the pain in his badly broken leg
was intense, Tom could not clear
from his mind, all of the happen
ings of the few hours which had
just passed. He had been so
happy with the prospects of the
trip upriver, and the chances
for adventure at the other end.
He had been treated well by
Captain Marsh in his few days.
acquaintance with him. Kindness
and manliness will make their
imprint anywhere, and the Cap
tain's we'll doingS by Tom had
not been overlooked. Why did
this terrible thing have to hap
pen just when he was learning
to enjoy things? The thrill of
his life had been to lean on the
rail of the upper cabin deck
watching the drift wood flow
past, as the Sioux Lady churned
her way upstream. He had en-
joyed immensely, standing on the
bow with the sounder, talking
with him as he continuously prod
ded the depth of the water and
watching for sandbars and dan
gerous snags. All of these things
were great, but there was some
thing else that ground deeper
into Toms "innards."
How it had planted its anchor
he did not know, but he was in
love with Nora Galloway. He had
fought and lost in battle for her,
but had won a kiss. With the kiss
she had said, 81 hope that you
get well quickly and that I'll see
you in Fort Benton" That very
minute she was on the same
boat with the yellow rats that
he had fought. Who would fight
for her now? He shuddered at
the thought. Would Kennon full
fill the brags which Tom had
heard him utter? There was one
consolation in those moments of
pain and displeasure, Captain
Marsh and Carlson were still in
command of the Sioux Lady. The
look on Marsh's face, as he pick
ed Kennon up from the deck
where Tom had knocked him,
made it plain that there were no
love ties between them. Tom
opened his eyes and looked up
at the soldier who sat beside
him. Where are you taking me?"
TO the hospital at Fort Leav-
enworth."
How far is it,"
About four more miles"
Tell me something, soldier.
Who threw the knife that kept
me from getting blasted by that
bushwhacker's forty-four?"
There's only one man in these
parts that / know of who can
throw a knife like that"
who is that"
"a Blackfeet Indian by the
name of Red Bird. He works for
the army, as a scout"
rs he the one who threw it?"
Eyes, he is"
did he get the knife back"
"Yeh."
