hole, thus assuring myself not only
that they still remained, hut that the
eafoin was completely surrounded, al-
though the manner in which the war-
riors had been distributed left the
great mass of them opposite the front.
The others evidently comprised a mere
guard to pretent escape. No move-
ment 1 could observe indicated an Im-
mediate assault : the\ ifiher appeared
to be awaiting something.
Those 1 saw wen* all dismounted,

I am going to tell you now to hold

"Ami why not? It will rid the girl of

He must have read the grim mean-

dark eyes wells of hate, ills face a
picture of malignancy, but utterly
helpless—the lurking coward in him.

stantly thronging back to my mind—
ihe chance remark of Throckmorton on
the Warrior about his suspicion of In-
within the range of guns. They bad
also sheltered themselves as far as
possible behind clumps of brush, or
ridges of rock, so that I found It diffi-
cult to estimate their number. Only
occasionally would a venturesome
warrior appear for a moment in the
open, as he glided stealthily from the
protection of one covert to another.
No doubt some were brought within
range of our rifles, as these efforts
were usually made to more advanced
positions, but I forbade firing, in the
vague hope that, not hearing from
Kirby, the chiefs might become dis-
couraged and draw off without risking
an open attack.
This was more a desperate hope,
rather than any real faith I possessed.
Beyond doubt the Indian chief knew,
or thought he knew, our exact strength
before he consented to use his war-
riors In this assault.
If the band hud trailed us to this
spot, it had been done through the
Influence of Kirby, and he hud. beyond

If the worst comes—what?"
"Do not fear for me; do not let any
memory of me turn you aside from
your work," she said quietly. "I know
what you mean and pledge you 1 shall
never fall Into ills hands. It it can-
not i e wrong. 1 am sure, and and I
must tell you that. 1—I could not,
Steven, for- for I love you."
My eager hands were upon hers, my
eyes greedily reading the message re-
vealed so frankly In the depths of hPr
own. She only was in my thoughts;
we were there alone—alone.
"They're a cotnin'. Cap," yelled Ken-
nedy and his rifle cracked. "Hy ti—I

TRULY,"team-less" days on the farm arealmost here—
not because we have any dislike for the horse but
because light motor truck delivery is more efficient and
economical, it puts more valuable working hours more
miles into every farmer's day, enabling him to accom-
plish far more work at a lower cost.

"Kirby, stand up! Drop that rifle—

"Is there anything serious going on
outside?"
"No; nuthin' much—just pow-

are absorbed into your

stipation, headache, bad

Thedtord's
Black-Draught
Mrs. W. F. Pickle, ot
Rising Fawn, Ga., writes:
"We have used Thed-
tord's Black-Draught as
a family medicine. My
mother-in-law could not
take calomel as it seemed
too strong for her, so site
used Biack-Draughtasa

it is the best medicine for

The only addition to our party since

attack upon two men, and two women,
unarmed, except possibly with a pistol
or two, even though barricaded be-1

with one of their number within, any,
attempt at defense would he but a ■
farce. This same gang had aflvady |
sacked the cabin, taking with them, at1
they believed, every weapon it con
talued. In their haste they had over- i
looked the cellar below. They bad no :
thought of ils existence, nor that we
awaited them rifles in hand and with |
an ample supply of powder and lead.
Whatever might be the flnal result, a

baud of raiders must be far south of
the main body of toe Hawk's follow-
ers, and hence in danger themselves.
They would never remain here long,
facing the possibility of discovery, of
having their retreat cut off. If they
attacked the attempt would not be
long delayed.
Still there was nothing left to do
but wait. We were already as com-
pletely prepared as possible with our
resources.
The main assault would undoubtedly
be delivered froui the front, directed
against the door, the only point where
they could hope to break iu. Here

Is possible he had never missed it be-

the man's face—the tlrst symptom of i
weakness 1 had ever detected there.

murderers."
j "It's a d—d lie—"
i But Kennedy had liltn, locked in u
I vise-like grip. It was well he had, for
the fellow had burst into u frantic
! rage, yet was bound so utterly helpless
as to appear almost pitiful. The
j knowledge of what he had planned, of
his despicable treachery, left us nier-
i clless. In spite of his struggles we
j bore him to the floor, and pinned hliu

j wild beast.

He made one last effort to break
free, and, us my band attempted to
close on bis throat, the clutching ling-
ers caught the band of Ills shirt, and
ripped it wide open. There, directly
before me, a scar across his hairy, ex-
posed chest, was a broad, black mark,
a tribal totem. T stared down ai it,
recognizing Its significance.
"By Heaven, Tim, look at this!" I
cried. "He Is an Indian himself—u

attack of the savages vuftlesij they were

cowardice. Not once did I feel I he
need of giving her word of encour-
agement—even as I glanced towurd
her It was to perceive the gleam of a
pistol gripped in her hand. She was
of the old French fighting stock,
which never falls.
Against the log wall a few yards
away. Kirby strained at Ills blanket
bonds, and had at last succeeded In
lifting himself up far enough so as
to stare about the room. There was
none of the ordinary calm of the
gambler about the fellow now all the
pitiless hate, ami love of revenge
which belonged to his wild Indian
blood blared In his eyes. He glared
at me In sudden, lu^oteut rage.
"You think you've got me, do you?"

grin distorted his thin lips. "Not yet j
