CHAPTER H
And now as the wagon train makes
its slow way over the broken country
let tlb see with Vliom we have to do
Two years before this story opens
parkins had come out from England to
better his fortunes He was English
bred and born a resident of Leaming
ton and his wife lad died the year bo
fore Though a widower he was not
childless The woman in the wagon
train was his daughter Bess A wc
manv No a girl of eighteen a typical
English girl of the middle class The
father had tried ranching and failed
iind had put bis last < lollar into the out-
fit of the gold hunting partyv Should
Bess bo left behind among strangers in
strange land or taken on an expedi-
tion which had its peril for every hour
Are jou crazy queried the gold
hunters when Harkins asked them to
decide
But when the train was readyto move
out of Brule City and the men saw the
red cheeked English lassie seated beside
young Joe Blyn who was to drive the
Harkins wagon while the owner rode
liorseback they lifted their btftsas they
rode past And when they saw how
brave she tried to look and act and un-
derstood that she was willing to brave
11 peiils for the affections she bore
hsr father they said to one another
Theres a girl to be proud of Lets
give the Englishman a fair show
And no queen could have asked for or
been shown greater respect She it was
who knelt beside the grave of the old

Slicitwas who knelt beside the grave of
the old tiuntcr
hunter laid away in such unseemly
haste and with so little ceremonyc and
littered a short prayer in behalf of tho
dead and though some of tho wilder
spirite affected to ridicule there as a
lookof pride on their faces as fhey
turned them upon the girl kneeling be-
fore them
Whowas Jpe Blyn An American of
twentyfour rancjiman J scout gold
hunter brave as a lion and tender as a
woman He fyad been with Sheridan
and Custer with Miles fuiil Cook Ho
iiad carried dispatches from fieldto fort
from post to headquarters Thesoldiers
Tnd civilians knew him as Joe the In
v
dians called him Ttif WhiteeAVitid
More than oncethey had found his trail
and pushed him hard but never had they
overtaken hin And within an hour
ffomthe time Joe Blyn helped Bess Har
kin3 to ftiseat on thowagon he knew that
he ioved her and she realized that she
had fallen jn with agreeable company
Wht was Taylor An Iowa fanner a
man of will andnervq who thirsted to
acquire wealth speedily People at
home called jrim stingy and grasping
Aniiour after the old hunters death
ihelight ofavarice shone so brightly in
his eyes that a physiognomist would
have whispered tOfiimself Therojs a

grow Wolve and serpents are at home
on these desolate stretches of country
but all other living things avoid them
There is a lonesomenesa and a desolation
and a homesickness about them which
has caused men to go mad
It was over such a stretch of country
that the wagon trainslowly picked its
way Hidge after ridge dip after dip
always the fame sterile scenery always

Q enis niding Dehlnd the rocks ana
ridges with cockeel rifles a chance to
pick them off
The men of tlie train firad no shot and
made no halt Never a wagon movsd
faster or slower It was a great plow
cutting its way through the earth over-
all obstructions
Anxious Yes Toutbrave jnan may
fiven tremble in the presence of danger
ll is only a drunkard or a fool who puti
up his life against chance and betrays
noemotion Not anxious about the four-
score warrior s gajllopfng about them ami
now becoming derisive anddefiant but
about what was to come larther on and
what the odds against them would be
crops the son is Almost flint and nature Never halt in the presence of an

tary authority
So long as youire moving thefenemy

An oldvete ran commanded thetrain
androde in advance of it He saw the
lay of the country changing and ashe
reached a ridge he could look down and
see where the attack wonld be made
The natural roadway ran down for a
mile between dryjgulliesi These gullies
high jip that they looked no larger than had been scoopedout byftie heavy rain
falls of perhaps a century for here the
watershed ran sharply to the north for
many miles
The Indians had massed in these ra
vinesand the train would be in a trap
Never do what your enemy hopes
you will do is anothermilitarymaxim
The captain made a rapid survey of
the ground and turned to the north
Here was a plateau strfiwed with bowl
ders but tolerably level A battle muse
be fought Here was the place to fight it
It is midaf ternoon now Come with

They speak of boundless prairies So
are the plains boundless or seem to be
You may fide for 200 miles before there
is achange of soil or scenery
Noon come and aibrief halt is made
The men have grown more anxious
within the last hour
Signs are more plentiful
The feathered heads of Indians have
been seen above tho banks of the dry
ravines at short intervals and it is plain
to all that the train is under espionage
Your noble red man is a coward Ho
must fight ivitli the odds in his favor if
he lights at all Honest warfaro is un-
known to him In his death eong he
will sing yf his brave deeds but ho lies
about them
Men and women argue and contend
thai the red man of America has been
cheated abided aid maligned They
view him froi a distance In his native
stafe he livaa by choice like a dog Ho
is icious iu every sense He was bom
with adesiroto torture and kill Hia

great Manitoa that belief does not prc
Yeut him fro n beinga beast and a devil
jciiubined lie betrays his own kindred
f e steals from his own tribe Ho tor-
tures a prisoner of his own kind withiis
much relish as he dees a white man
Taken as a whole ho has not one single
trait or sentiment to prove his right to
cumber the earth
s
Aye I the red devils had been watch-
ing that train for the last twenty hours
as a cat watches its viclim when released
for the moment They were ahead of it
behind to the right the left A
first two or three then soyen or eight
then fifteen then thirty They were
the scouts and spies and every half
hour one rode away to the west to bear
information to the chiefs in waiting
The gold hunters must be wiped out
to the last man Their number hat
been counted over and over their
weapons noted and tho chances calcu-
lated The time was not yetl The lay
of the ground was not suitable and
enough Indians had not come up They
dared not attack with fifty a hundred
a hundred aud fifty They would
move upon the little band with two hun-
dred or moire four or five to one Thhi
isIndian braveryi
When a dozen of thein haverun down
a hunter and lifted his scalp there are
shouts of victory words of boasting a
war dance about his body They never
figure on odfis unless againstr them-
selves
When the train was ready to move on
after its hfclt tho leader called all tho
men together for counsel He had been
a soldier as had many of the men He
knewwhat to expect andVas prudent-
ly preparing forit Each horseman and
each driver TOS given orders for emer-
gency and every man received them1
willingly and with ji deVire to Obey
As the train moved oh it was closed
up as solidly as possible and each driver
hadhisweaP ° nsa hand It was bn
hour before tho Indiana showed their
hand Then one after aiwther appeared
in sigb Out of rifle rangej until fifty
could Be counted A train ofemigrants
yrould have been rattleq at sight of

fusion and disagreements how besttoi
act When you have an enemy alarnied
you have him half wluftpj wNo one

have begunfiring and thus wasted their
ammunition The bolder spirits would
