Now the door of the car was nponcd wldo , and the conductor , who had kept away from mo till the journey , cuino in from the baggage vrvi to take tickets Mi no was the last ! He examined it with unnecessary deliberation , and then dollvorcd hlmsolf of the following ominous remark : Now , sny ! why didn't yo wrlto the colonel that vow wcro oomiu'V" The familiarity of this address would have disgusted mo at tiny ordinary ttmo , but now I only began to fool miserably - orably anxious . ' • I did wrlto , ' " I replied breathlessly "Ho will bo nt the station to moot mo " "Honiirtl" The rejoinder came as sharply as tlio ping of an arrow I jumped up with u lump in my throat and looked out of the window Tlio train hud stopped and most of the passengers wcro leaving it There was no station or depot hero ; only a rough platform on ouo side of the line with "Snntnnu" paiutod in tipsy black letters on the rnil and n solitary log house a few yards away , with Lost ollleo in whlto letters on the door Yet tliis was undoubtedly my destination , and the conductor was right Addison had not coino , There was several rough , red-faced cruaturos lounging on the platform , wearing broad-brimmed hats , great riding boots and prominent spurs ; there wcro our passengers dis appearing one hv ouo into the log house in buurcii of breakfast , hut there was no C'oloaul Wynne What could have happened ? I turned from the window with n gasp , nnd met the eyes of the conductor looking down upon mo with the grimmest expression I had ever coon Well ? " ho said with an exasperat ing interrogatory iiillcctlou on that ex pressive word "Ho cannot have received my let ter , " 1 observed hurriedly , striving to keep my voire clear and itcady while the lump in my throat grow and grow , and I wanted to cry very badly indeed To avert any catastrophe , I suggested that my belongings should bo removed from the train _ The conductor in stantly became , brisk and helpful , and wo wore boon passing by the rcd-facod men , who drew back to give us room , and stared with great round , btupld ojes , ns if they had never been a girl in a gray ulster before We went bti aight to the post olllce , and woio mot by the postmaster before wo reached the door Ho was a tall , darlc man , witli only ono eye : a dreadfully ugly man , with iv very dirty faco'and still dirtier hands a wicked looking man I thought The con ductor greeted him as if they wore old acquaintances "Scon Colonel Wynno lately , Hank ? ' ' "A week ago eamo for his mall " This is his sister " Mr Hnuk nodded , as if ho wcro al ready aware of the fact , and stared very hard at mo with his ono eye "Is is my brother heroi" I ventured to ask , just for something to say "IIo's ' at the fort , Miss " And how far olt Is that ? " Thirty miles boo line " Mv heart began to boat at a very un- comfojtablc rnto A horrible Htato of things ! Would you kindly advise mo what to do ? " "Brenkfast , " struck ia the conductor decidedly "You've oat nothing for ton hours " Thank you , " I answered politely "I urn hungry ; but I wunt toknow how I am get to Port Lincoln " This question was not to be answered at once Neither of the men scorned to hoar it , and without further ooroniony , ushered mo into the House , through ouo long room full of mon with a steve in the nilddlo ot it , a liquor bar , and several - oral small tables , to a small room behind - hind , where there wore heaps of blank ets scattered about a rough bedstead , ono chair and a table Sit down , " said the postmnstor , pointing to the eh nir I obeyed , fooling very forlorn and helpless It wns a dreadful position to be in There did not hcom to bo n woman anywhere ; I was thirty mlles from brother , with no vlslhlo moans of roiiching him ; nnd tliis dreadful one-oyed man wus master of the situation A whispered colloquy , lusting bovoral minutes , now took place between the postmaslorand the conduc tor , after which tlio former , whoso name I subsequently discovered to ho Mr Hank Wybrow , turned to mo and cleared his throat as though ho wore about to address a camp meeting "There's but two things to bo douo , miss , ns far as we km sco , nnd you must fix on which road Hulls yo best Kunnol Wynno dent ' expect ynu , I reckon , so you'll have to hunt htm or send nnd git him to como for vow I cant poke up much accommodation hero : nnd there nln't ' a womnn nonror than the fort jubt now ; but If you loot ' to stay Ill llx what I may tonight and send a boy to the kunnol If this ain't good enough Ill see if any ono is bound Fort Lincoln way with iv waggon to tnko yo there , Think It out , will yo ? while I dish breakfast , and let mo know your mind in an hour " This was very fairly said I thanked Mr Wybrow for his offers , and wns able to bid farewell to the conductor , who had another ton miles to travel , with a stout heart It did not take mo long to mnko up my mind , I cannot say that I relished the Ideaof a tlnrty-mllos drive with a stranger , but while breakfast was in course of preparation a little incident happened that made tins dilllculty scorn a very Hinnll ono The room I was in wus lighted by ouo Bquuro window not fur from tlio ground , and after the post master had left the room I saw three pairs of eyes , belonging to thorough fucos of some of the men I hud soon on the platform , staring llxedly ut mo They disappeared with great quickness when they saw that I was aware of their scrutiny ; but tlio feeling of boiug wutohod was very unpleasant , and I felt that 1 would not paes a night at Santuua on any account , Mr Wybrow uppenrod relieved when I told him this.nudhe brought up break fast introduced a muu who owuud a wagon , and guaranteed to arrive at Fort Lincoln before sundown I can see the folio anew , though it is ton years bIuco that day A very thin man , of middle holghthdrossod in neat brown O'lnvass clothing , His hair was very smooth , jmrtod in the middle and eurriod back behind his ears as tightly as if it were hound with rppo Ho had u small , round head , a lint uoso , brown eyes , rattier dull and expressionless , very high check bones nnd thick lips An ugly man ; yet quiet and modest in mnniior and speech , with a soft , well niotlulnted voice Ho wus incllnod to bo bald , stooped in his gait , and seemed a ruther stupid nnd nltogothor insif nl- llcaiit kind of a person A doctor of inodlcino , " ho culled himself , and nddod with simo dignity that ho was a friend of Colonel Wynnes " I trusted him His quiet voice was a relief after the harsh speech by Mr Wybrow , nnd my ono object in llfo just then was to getaway from those horri- hlo staring eyes In less thun an hour I washy his side , jolting along the Fort Lincoln road , behind a stout team of mules I cannot remember now how far wo went before I began to fool nervous nnd uncomfortable I know that It wns a long way ; for I remember congratulat ing myself upon having loft San tan u , because my companion told mo that the into postmaster had boon murdered by cowboys n week or two ago this was doubtless how my letter miscarried and that the station wns known to bo one of tlio worst haunts for rowdies In the country Out the time ciimo at length when ho fell quite silent , and I then found that whenever 1 ttu-ned my head to view the prairie about us , his eyes rostcd unon my face O , how terrible It was ! I edged away from him to the farthest corner ot the scat , and felt moro and moro helpless and unnerved every moment The suspense did not last long When ho perceived my fears ho boldly raised his eyes and looked ut mo with a smile of the most horrible kind Then lie laughed softly , a dry , hard laugh I tried to speak now , but my throat was dry and parched , andmv tongue scomod paralyzed lie laughed again , louder , and stooping quickly , pulled up the mules with a jerk 1 Knew what was coming know , and be fore he could touch mo sprang from the wagon Ho followed mo with the swift , silent movement of a snake , and ns I turned to meet him , for I could not run , he laughed for tlio third time The sound roused mo , I tried to seize his ills throat with both hands I lolt that I could kill him for that laugh Hut , ohl the weakness of a woman ! Why are wo- not as strong ns mun ? Ho caught my wrists in his hard , brown lingers ; ray arms were forced backpow erless and helpless as if held in iron bauds I screamed now In good earnest , and struggled against hiin with nil my strength nnd soul , and all the time I felt his grip grow tighter und tighter his muscles were of stcol Suddenly ho relaxed his hold and stood still , and his Hushed face became colorless and livid , as if I had accomplished my desire and ho was dying Thou ho lot mo go , stnrtlng from mo as if I were some poisonous thing ; and , dropping on his knees , ho bent his head to the ground and listened When ho rose to his foot a moment later ho reeled and staggered llko a drunken man , looking at me wildly .vlth the ex pression of some hunted beast of prey I stared at him dumbfounded for a mo ment , feeling very giddy und sick ; and then I know what ho _ bad heard Wo wore in a hollow , between two rolls of prairie , and could not sco far on cither side , but sound carries a long way in this country , and oven my unnecuh- tomed ears now caught n low rumbling thunder , becoming louder every instant the Hying hoofs of galloping horses It came from behindwmio ; ono had fol lowed us Whoever it might bo , tlio wretched man who had betrayed his trust wns likely to got short shrift Ho know it well , and now threw himself on his knees at my foot , muttering , in a hearse whisper : . Como back to the wagon They'll murder mo in cold blood else , before your eyes I swear I was only fooling 1 had not a wrong thought in my heart Save mo , save me ! " I was willing to do that , much as I loathed the creatdro , for ho had not hurt mo ; but I could not go back to the wagon I began to fool very faint nnd queer ; the sensation of safety , after the horrible tension a minute ago , was ; use voro reaction , and almost too much for mo The poor wretch saw this , and his muttered supplication rose to a bitter cry cry."Thoy are cowdojb ; thoy'vo heard your call They'll tear mo to pieces if vou drop Dent ' !
