Winter Meat for a Settlement.
At dawn the next morning, two
scouts rode into the camp of the buf-
falo hunters, crying:
I "Everybody turn out! We've located
a big herd only five miles away on the
| open plain."
Breakfast of bacon and coffee was
hurriedly prepared and for the first
time In many days Sally and Tom
tasted food cooked by their own peo-
ple in their own way.
Then forth to the open plain the
hunters rode in a cavalcade, horses
having been provided for Tom and for
Sally, too, who accompanied the
party.
Stealing cautiously upon the herd,
the "drive" began. The "drive" com-
prised the first half of the buffalo hunt
as conducted by white men In those
days. The appearance of the riders
was, of course, sufficient to stampede
the herd. That is, the herd began
running, and the white men rode
parallel with the buffaloes and shot
them in flight. Here Tom Mingle
showed his prowess. Every 50 feet
he would drop a buffalo, while dashing
onward alongside the running ani-
mals. Sally herself pursued strag-
glers from the main body, dropping
more than one animal in this way.
Then came the second half of the
hunt. This was called the "surround."
As the tail end of the herd came into
sight, the hunters contrived to "cut
out" a detachment embracing hun-
dreds of animals. And while the main
body of buffaloes continued down the

been "cut out"—riding round and
round the animals in a wide circle un-
til they had killed all they could pos-
sibly "tote" back to camp and later to
the settlement.
That night, on their return to the
clearing, great was the rejoicing of
the 25 hunters. For now, in one
day's hunting, they had killed enough
buffaloes to provide meat for the en-
tire settlement for several months.
And great was the rejoicing of Sally
and Tom, for now very soon they
would t>e starting once again for the
coast.
A barbecue was held, everybody eat-
ing a surfeit of fresh buffalo steak.
During this sumptuous "feed," Colonel
Gardner made this remark:
"Heaven help us if there are In-
dians about, boys. We've used up so
much ammunition today that it would
go hard with us if attacked before we
can reach the settlement."
And, all unknown to the happy hunt-
ers and to the happier Sally and Tom.
a solitary Indian was that verv mo-
ment halting his horse on a elm above
the clearing and looking down on the
big camp-fire and the assembled hunt-
ers enjoying their feast. Then silent-
ly that solitary Indian rode away Into
the darkness, till presently, when cer-
tain he was out of earshot, he urged
his korse forward at high speed, going
toward the village where Swift Wind
reigned aB chief.
Arrived at the Indian village, the
scout at once reported to Swift Wind,
telling of his discovery of the white
hunters. .
"Was the paleface maiden among
them?" asked the chief.
The scout replied that he had seen
Ola paleface maiden among the hunt
era.
'Then Swift Wind will make war on
the palefaces," the chief said, "till the
paleface maiden Is left In peace In his
wigwam."
Such was Swift Wind's vow. At
once he summoned his warriors about
him and informed them that they
would go at once, this very night, on
the war path.
Meanwhile, in the camp In the clear-
ing, all were sleeping heavily, follow-
ing the gorge of buffalo meat—all ex-
cept sentries that guarded the camp.
Toward dawn one of the sentries
cried in alarm:
"Wake up, everybody! The Injuns
are coming!"
Up from the bare ground that had
served as bed and out from tents
sprang the hunters, arming to defend
themselves.
"Go easy on the ammunition," shout-
ed Colonel Gardner. "There Is scarce-
ly ten rounds per man. Make every
shot tell."
Sally, meanwhile, cried In despair:
"Oh Tom, my Tom, this will mean that
our Journey will be again delayed.
Heaven help us!"
"Brace up, little one," said Tom.
"This fight won't be like the one at the
wagon train. There we had many
women to look after. Here we have
only one—and she's as good as a man
in a fight. Here! Take this gun. And
whenever you catch Bight of an Injun,
fire at him—not to scare him, but—
you know."
Sally shuddered as she realized
what Tom meant. He meant that she
must shoot to kill
All this time the hunters were busy
hiding the dead buffaloes in a make-
shift cache, hoping to return after the
fight to secure the meat.
"We're going to make a running
fight of it," shouted Colonel Gardner.
"All hands mount. Our scouts report
that the redskins are mighty near.
Perhaps we can outrun them. Ready
now—we're off."
Everybody had mounted and now, at
the command, the cavalcade put spurs
to horses and away they flew straight
out of the clearing and into the forest
and out then upon the open plain, with
the Indians close behind. It was In-
deed a running fight. The Indians
kept up an incessaht fire—with the
ammunition secured in the attack on
the wagon train, while the whites,
sparing of ammunition, turned and
fired only when some Indian would
gain on his fellows and draw too near.
Thus every shot from the white party
had its effect. Every shot fired by the
whites, in short, meant a dead Indian;
while the shots of the redskins them-
selves went wild.
Ahead was a rocky place. Colonel
Gardner, to his everlasting chagrin,
led the way to these rocks, believing
that they formed the entrance to a
canyon in which they might elude
their pursuers. But what Was the
colonel's dismay when, having led his
party into the apparent entrance to a
canyon, he found himself in a verita-
ble pocket.
"Boys, we're trapped In a pocket,
that's true," he said. "The Indians
are massed outside. We can't venture
out without facing certain defeat
Here, then, we'll make our last stand "
And so began the siege of the white
hunters in the pocket. The Indians,
always loath to storm a citadel—and
the pocket was, in a sense, a citadel,
played their usual game of merely
watching patiently near the entrance
to the pocket, they themselves keep-
ing under cover behind trees and
boulders and the like And every time
a paleface showed himself, a bullet
from the Indian force reduced the
number of the hunters by Just that
one.
Thus all day and all the next day
the siege continued. On the morning
of the third day, the situation in the
pocket was desperate. Their canteens
were empty, their food supply nearly
gone, their ammunition almost ex-
hausted. Swift Wind rode into view
and held up his arms, In sign that he
asked a parley. Tom Mingle was ap-
pointed by Colonel Gardner to go out
and meet the chief.
"Give up the paleface maiden," said
the chief to Tom, as they faced each
other on their horses, "and I will call
oft my warriors."
"We'll die first," Tom replied, de-
fiantly and bravely, and then retired
to the shelter of the pocket.
Meantime, Starlight had followed
the war party and now she met a scout
on his way to report to Swift Foot.
"What Is your news?" asked Star-
light.
"Another camp of paleface hunters
on the other side of the ridge," replied
the scout.
Here was news that Starlight knew
would be of help to the whites. She
loved Tom and she wanted to heifi
him and his companions. Cautiously
then, Starlight stole te the top of the
rocks and then, sure-footed as a moun-
tain sheep, she descended into the
pocket. The whites gathered around
her. She singled out Tom and Sally
and said:
"A party of white hunters Is in camp
Just over the ridge. If you send some
one to fetch them, vou will be saved."
"I'll go!" volunteered Tom. and told
the news to all his party.
"No," said Sally. "A man is needed
here more than a woman. Tom must
remain here where he Is needed. A
woman will not be missed as a man
would. 1 will myself go over the ridge
and fetch the hunters her-e to drive off
the Indians."
After much protest from all the men,
each of whom was only too willing to
undertake the dangerous mission,
Sally was at last permitted to go with
Starlight.
"I have a horse at the top of the
pocket," Starlight said, as she helped

This brave urged his horse eome the victims of the Indians. But,
forward to overtake Sally. Starlight
watched. To Starlight's astonishment,
a rope now fell over the head of the
Indian rider and he was Jerked from
the saddle. Next moment, Tom Min-
gle appeared. He had followed Sally
and Starlight up the wall of the pocket
and had seen the Indian In time to
lasso him and thus save Sally. He
now lugged the Indian bodily to the
edge of the pocket and used the rope
to lower him down to the white hunt-
ers. having tied the rope around the
Indian's body under the armpits. Tom
and Starlight then themselves de-
scended Into the pocket.
Meantime Sally was riding pell mell
on her way to the ridge beyond which
lay succor for her friends in their
hour of peril.
CHAPTER X.
Starlight.
For three hours Sally rode without
hah, up hill and down, swimming her
horse across streams till she had near-
ly reached the foot of the ridge. Then,
directly in her path, she spied a bear,
a grizzly. The horse shied, threw her
and galloped away. The grizzly, for
some reason known to bears but not
to men, pursued tho horse Instead of
rushing on the girl
Sally picked herself up, bruised and
sore and terribly fatigued and fright-
1 She must now continue her
progress on foot. She must cross that
ridge or die In the attempt.
Hardly had she started toward the
ridge when a new danger confronted
her. It was the thundering herd, again
in stampede. A solitary tree stood in
her path. Sally ran to this tree and
climbed it and came to rest in its
branches. Ami the herd thundered
past on both sides of the tree. Some-
times the impart of thousands of
heavy bodies against the tree was bo
great that Sally feared they would
p«sh It over. But at last, after an
hour of agony, Sally cried out:
"Thank God! The herd has passed.
Heaven give me strength now to get
over that ridge before nightfall."
She sprang down from the tree and
resumed her flight toward, the ridge.
Just at dusk, the party of white
hunters on the other side of the ridge
were amazed at seeing the figure of a
woman staggering across the clearing
in which they were encamped, 200
strong. The staggering woman was
Sally Madison. She was greeted by
the leader of the party, who said:
"I am General King—and good
Lord! I know you. You are Miss
Sally Madison, daughter of my old
friend, Colonel Madison. What on
earth brings you here In such plight?"
Sully, though nearly exhausted, ex-
plained her mission. Food was given
her. She revived. And then the en-
tire hunting party of 200 men, led by
Sally, with General King by her side,
rode out of the clearing on their way
to rescue their fellow citizens on the
other side of the ridge. Fortunately
there was sufficient moonlight to en-
able them to make rapid progress.
Meanwhile, in the pocket in the
rocks, Tom's party was in most des-
perate straits. Even the last morsel
of food, as well as the last drop of
water, was gone. And half their num-
ber lay dead or wounded. Starlight, a
ministering angel, attended the
wounded And now, the last remain-
ing cartridge was announced by Tom.
"Here goes!" he whispered to his
comrades. "This last shot will be the
cue for those redskins to storm our
citadel. For when we no longer fire,
they will know that our ammunition is
exhausted."
The time now was daybreak. Tom
showed his head above a rock. It
served to attract the fire of Twin
Boughs, the medicine man. Tom rec-
ognized him and ducked in time to
evade a bullet. Twin Boughs was a
very bad shot anyway, being more ac-
customed to the bow than to the rifle
Quick as a flash now, however, Tom
again peered over the rock and this
time fired. And Twin Boughs, the
medicine man, next instant passed
into the happy hunting grounds of all
Indians.
Two hours passed and not another
shot was fired from the pocket.
"They have fired their last shot,"
Swift Wind told hla men. "We can
now kill our enemies without much
risk to ourselves."
Forthwith he ordered an assault on
the pocket. In a mass, howling and
warwhooping, they advanced on the
pocket, while the hunters within wait-
ed for them with clubbed guns and
knives.
But what was this? The thunder of
galloping hoofs was heard in the
pocket and next moment the sound of
volleys.
Hurrah! Sally had arrived with the
rescue party.
Swift Wind's band was routed In
short order. But before Swift Wind
himself fled, Tom emerged from the
pocket and engaged the chief in a
hand to hand struggle. Tom got the
chief down and was about to toma-
hawk him with the chief's own weapon
when Starlight rushed up and inter-
cepted the uplifted tomahawk, saying
to Tom:
"Swift Wind Is my brother."
This was enough for Tom. He un-
derstood Starlight's wishes. Swift
Wind's life was spared.
"We'll keep you as a prisoner of
war, however," Tom said, "for you are
too dangerous an enemy to be at
large."
Sajly flew now to Tom's arms, cry-
ing:
"Oh, Tom, 1 never knew how much
thank God! the herd was not a big
one—and here we are. Tom, as soon
as we reach my father's house in Call
fornla, we will be married."
"Amen!" said Tom.
Two days later the big hunting party
arrived at the settlement with the buf-
faloes, which had not been disturbed
in the cache. Having thus supplied
their families with meat enough to
last during the winter, a score of the
lwuters set out with Sally and Tom
for the long ride across the plains,
bound for California.
Starlight was with them. She had
been induced by Sully to leave her
tribe and Join the white people. Her
brother, Swift Wind, was taken to
the nearest fort a prisoner.
Weeks later a great wagon train
reached a pass in the hills near the
California coast Beyond lay the prom

ised land. And Sally and Tom and
Starlight, hand in hand, hastened on
foot through the pass and down Into
tho valley where gold seekers were as
the leaves on the trees. There they
found Colonel and Mrs. Madison. Mrs.
Madison wept teurs of joy at behold-
ing the beloved daughter for whom
she had pined so long. That Bame day
Sally and Tom Mingle were married
by a miner-clergyman.
And Sally's solitary bridesmaid was
a beautiful Indian maiden whose gen-
tleness and winning ways had already
won her the admiration of all the
miners. Her name was Miss Star
light.
"But for Starlight," Sally told every-
body, In the midst of all her happi-
ness, "neither Tom nor 1 would be
here now. We owe our lives to Star-
light and she shall live with us al-
ways."
And Starlight turned her gaze from
Sally and looked direct into the eyes
of handsome Thomas Mingle, the
bridegroom, her expression saying as
plainly as words: "I love you."
For Starlight had not yet been with
white people long enough to learn that
it was wrong, very wrong, to love—
just to love.

DIET THAT PROLONGS LIFE
Cheese in Place of Meat Is Recom-
mended for Those Whose Arteries
Are Hardening.
Hardening of the arteries, which fre-
quently accompanies old age, is the re-
sult of a condition of the blood ves-
sels In which the blood pressure Is
raised above normal in varying de-
grees. The result is a weakening of
the vessels, making them likely to
rupture even under normal blood
pressure, but especially so when the
blood pressure is high.
The hardening of the arteries with
high blood pressure Is caused by cer-
tain poisons la the blood derived from
food, particularly certain kinds of pro-
tein food. Meat, particularly red
meat, Is thought to be the principal
offender; but all proteins are suspect-
ed of aiding in making the condition.
The remedy Is obvious; Btop eating
proteins. But proteins are absolutely
necessary to life. However, It has been
discovered that all proteins are not
equally harmful.
It has been found that cheese In
various forms can be substituted for
meat Indefinitely, supplying the body
with the necessary amount of protein,
without the poisonous purln bodies.
Ab a result, the blood pressure Is low-
ered, and In recent cases, hardening
of the arteries. Is prevented.
