TUB SCOCT AND TUB OHOST DASCB.
"Auhl can It bo possible I'vo ' thrown them
off my track at lost I"
The speaker was a man ibout forty years
of ago , of tbo class of common ranchers ,
with the unmistakable : air of a man accus
tomed to thrilling SCOUC3 and wearing the
peculiar serb of a cowboy.
It was upon a balmy afternoon , Just six
weeks ago , in among the stcrllo sandhills of
the northwestern pirt of this state , when
Plorro Uaptisto , the government scout , thus
dubiously Interrogated himself.
An original was this Uaptisto , worthy of a
word or moro of description. In his physical
nud moral man ho was a complot character.
A big , bioud-shouldercd fellow , Imvlng In his
veins nt least three soparalo streams of
blood European , Indian and Mexican with
n dash of the devil to glvo snlco to the com
pound. Tor all , a splendid man nt bottom ,
fearing God after a fashion , but without the
slightest fear of man.
Tor a mouth or moro ho had been ranging
the Indian country roundabout Pine Hidgo
nud in South Dakota. It was his duty to
maintain nn unremitting survelllanco upon
the movements of the followers of Dig Foot ,
Short Dull , Two Strike , Sitting Hull nnd
other suspected Sioux. It had been re
ported at the different agencies alon the
Nebraska mid Dakota boulor that thcso In
dians had nlrindy assembled In the hideous
ghost dance , which , If found tiue ,
portended nothinir moro or less
than a foray of devastation unit murder
against the white setllerstmdiaiichcis , who
in suuh nn event would bo found in a lament
ably defenseless condition , Indeed.
Daptisto had been scut out by Gcnci il
Brooke nnd had found tbo reports of prob
able hostilities among the hloux nn.v thing
but groundless. . A sav.igo nimy was In-
dubllnbl ) massing For the uast sovei il
dajs the Indomitable government scout hid
been In their very midst Dig Toot mil
Shoit Dull Ind liken advantage of the
peculiar condition of nffaiis and move I
among their c-ountrjman Inciting them with
Insuuocllontil liio by Insidious stoiies of
the coming of the Messiah , a invttilcd
who was to restoiu the iviliium to their
pristine power and again popul ito the gre.it
jdnlns nnd interminable forests with the
bulTiilo , the ell : and the wapiti
'Iho fair stuto of Nebraska , or nt least the
exposed wi stern portion of it , scomol about
to be drenched In blood. At nUht tie | cnmu
llresof the assembling bloux lit up the dark
valleys and tbo hill-tops ai if nt iicainival
Troui ovci v direction was heaul the bnlstoi-
ous shout , the deep guttural lau 'k
and song which aw aliened the slnmbci-
ing echoes for miles Here and there , w hcr-
over their erratic fancy dletntul , vveio pci-
tlons of the Indian nrmy encamped , and as
Baptlste , ft om his hiding plnco in tno sand
hills or canon , noted theh dark , sullen and
vindiLtlv e looks , no was convinced tint the
iufutiutod hordes would soon bc > ; in their
murderous woik and that a actei mined raid
upon the exposed vvhlto scUlcis was shoitlv
to occur The evening before the day on
which my nariallvo opjns Unptisto hid been
a spectator of the ghost dance in all Its hid
myimidoms of Big Toot all dny.nt labt locat
ing them In nn unfrequented canon nboutslx-
teen miles not thwest or I'uio Uidge.
The itivmo or gulch in iv tilth the savage
ilutailiincnt was bivouacked was about one
bundled jaids In length , and vvnllrd up on
both sides with wasMvo locks and houlelris ,
vvhleh arose to the height of twenty ortwcn
tv-llvo feet , along \'hoso summit , in the
masses of fertile soil , washed llieio iiy the
tains of centuries , grow u oeeuliailv lu\-
urimtsoitof sluubbory , which alToidoJ an
effectual screen fiom those below , Steilthil }
I'iorro crept nlong the top of the lockv
escaipmcnt unlil lie reached this tindct-
growth , when ho ciouchcd low , and , pirtlnp
the interwoven oranches , gazed upon the
wild scene below. There vvew two
hundred Indians gathcied In the gulcli ;
some of them were lolling indolently upon
the grounder , lay in a hal f-iceii inbon t position ,
'vlillo a hugo number weio gathered about
thu llros in diflcrent attitmle.s. In the center
of tlie open space the most rcno w ned w ari iors ,
ono after another , add raised the throng.
After thcso had been heard Hig Toot took his
stand amidst his OUCH cling nnd admiring
braves striking a majestic attitude ho Hung
the llaming blanket limn his colossal fona
and stood eiuctin all his bubirlcloftlncsu be
fore his now eager subjects und began
spealung with the native eloquence nnd im-
prcislvcness of an Indian sovcicign The
lirst words that fell fiom his lips , tho'igh low
nnd mild , caused his lolling auditors to
stiighton themselves up in uttituilet. of respectful -
spectful attention , but as ho wont on and Ins
language ptovv less t dm and dellbciatu , and
his face gicw black with the batted within
his breast and his eyes glowed with the fero
cious gleam of n wild beast , the dusky forms
of those saingo boiniis wcro as silent nnd mo
tionless ns it they had been caived fiom
so ninny blocks of bionzc , but tlicn
llorcooycs wcro riveted upon the demon ! ic
countenance of their subtle leader wltn an
lutonscncss that nothing short of the pioin-
Iscd delights of the coming of the Messiah
and a butchery of the whites could tieate ,
Tlio rankling pu.slon m his bosom had its
countetpart in theirs For nn hour or moro
ttio big , Impassioned Sioux harangued his
wariiors , eloquently depicting their past
wrongs , their uialticattncnt by thu govom-
montuiidtho wrongs they had suffered at
the hands of unpiinclpled Indian accntstoro
telling their Inuvitablo fnto if the ghostly
warning brought in by the wailing Chinook
was not heeded and preparation made for the
advent of thu Messiah
The bitter words with which Big Toot
closed his speech hail struck icboul that
nuvei fails to thrill in the heart of an In
dian , nnd the whole dark body of revengeful
fiends sprang to their feut ns ono man , iloui-
Ishing their weapons fronzioJly and slniok-
ing out their licuo delight in the wildest and
most unearthly jells.
This accomplished , nnd Big Foot with that
piercing vvirscnma of his tiibe , brandished
his war club and cominouccd the blood curd

Bravo after br.wo fell into the shilling
multitude , until the entire war party was
numbered in the di/yy imi/es. The spectacle
was onu of the wildest Unror ; tbo llendiah
countenances of these maJdened beings tc-
ceiving additional ferocity from the nppdling
discord in which they mingled their inhu
man voices
That lonely spot , way off thoto , in n gulch
of the turgid Porcupine , appeared like some
ungodly arena or pandemonium , vvhera the
unholy attendants of satan had assembled to
to enact their wicked and infernal rites I
This was sufllciont for Daptisto , and ho
felt positive if ho would fulfill hiscrnmtol
mercy , not n single moment was to bo lo-.t ,
and arising cautiously lie stele back from the
blutf , nnd then assuming nn upright position ,
started oft nt a brisk pace toward the enU.
It was his intention to visit the ranches ol
the most isolatea farmers , notify thorn of tbo
state of affahs , nnd ndviso them to make in
stant Illirhttosomo town or the nearest In
ilhm agenc ) .
Carl ) in the afternoon on which this history
begins , ns the naidy scout was descending u
small hill , ho discovered Immediately ut Its
base , on the open plain , in full warpaint ,
thicc jounf bucks lounging lazily upon tbo
sands
Uaptisto wheeled In his tracks , nnd in the
hope of escaping observation , leaped away
with the tlcetnc-ss of nn antclopo.
Hut before ho had traversed ono
hundred jards , a shrill whoop in his
rear announced that the watchful ejcs of the
Sioux nad discovered him. This accelerated
his gait to a speed ono would hardly have
thought him capable ; but as ho
run ho glanced cursorily behind him and
behold the foremost of tholndlans coming
like the wind upon bU track. The hopooi
eluding such a pursuer was not to bo in
dulged. Pisrro realized Unit ho must cscapo
by flcctness of ( loot or not at all , and the
arrow leaving the bow was scarce swifter
than his gait Yet the Sioux In chase were
lltho and Indurated wariiors , and tboy belt1
their ground with the pcitlnaclty of so many
wolves.
It Instantly partook of all the exciting
Incidents and Ingenious expedients of an
Indian choso. Miles of hill and plain , of ra
vine , of rocks , of river , gully and morass.
were traversed , and still the rugged scoui
held on bis way , unbroken In spirit and
scarce wearied in limb. TUo merit of a man ,

onlinaiily pretty girl , vvltii' brown hilr and
c\piessi\o brown cj es. She was the babv of
the family and consequently the pet nnd Idol
of nil the rest.
Of course Ueorgo Cameron found her nt
that c'ellclousugo ' when the feminine mind is
most suseoptiblo to the greatest passion of
our natuie. In its most exasrgeiated and ru-
intntio phase His Ingenuous bearing , gcn-

Tlio convolution to which I alluded In the
opening of this chapter , in which
the llarit'tts wcro cnnnpcd , and
\\hicli had suddenly bc'ioiuo so in

rumors of trouble among the Sioux.
Moro than ono report of n oiobablo out
break hud reached the fanner aid his family
dliectly and indlrectlj. during the past few
weeks , ciusing them an endless amount of
uncislnois and niipiohciislon. However ,
their fcaiful forebodings vveio to nn extent
nllajcd by I'loiio liaptiste , the govcinmcnt
scout , who b ul called upon them some two 5
\vee1ts previous , and disclosed to them his
plans for visiling the Indian country and
nscettninlng the foundation for these reports.
Ho promised to rotuiii ntu. aid them if neces-
sarand this had dhsipated inueli of the fear
that would liavo othei vviso posscssou thorn.
"Do jou re illy ihlnk , father , " pursued
Bob , Jr , "that th.it theio Is reillj- any truth

" 1 should bo glad to think differently , mv
son , could I have reusonablo fauso for so
( loinc , but the stories that nro coining lu so
frequently cannot bo w holly erroneous ,
and if the Inulnns are really nt their ghost
dnnco again -wo can prcpiro for the
worst. What alarms mo moro than all is our
isohtod ( situation , mid I Ihlnk wo had better
adopt some means for waidlng off any possi
ble danger witliout further delay , Tor the
last thrcoor four dnvs things have worn a
suspicious look , and Sciplo-you know hols
no lool. Deb Informed mo this morning that
ho saw u strange Indian , ono ho bad never
seen in this neighborhood before , lurking
back of the cornfield last night. Yes. my
chlldion , I think thcro is good cause to appro-
hc'tul danger. "
"Hut , pipa , " interjected Nan , with wldo
open nnd wondering ejes , "will not the kind
and generous treatment vvo have invariably
shown the rod people'proro ' a guaranty for
our safety I"
"Well , jes , it may to some extent ; butyou
must recollect , little Daughter , that in the
up-country tbero nro hui.dreds of savages
who have never seen or hoard of us , and in
case of an uprising would not hesitate to
tomahawk nnd scalp us no moro thnn they
would uny other while people. If they onto
take to the warpath , -which I feel al
most convinced that thpy will , our situa
tion will bo perilous indeed , " nnd the
old rancher looked solicitously upon tbo little
group ubout him.
"Mr. Ilarrett , " ventured young Cameron ,
removing for a slngla moment his admiring
gaze from Nan's sweet face , "I know that I
am little conversant with Hho characteristics
of the 'noblo red man1 ! but I must say that I
do not share , In any degree , the fcollucs you
entertain. The day of merciless , blood loving
Indians , I believe , has been gone for n quar
ter of a century ; the Idea of n massacre oc
curring in Nebraska , wilh Jim Bojd Just
elected governor and prohibition smashed ;
In Nebraska , I sny , ono of the Immovable
states of the union , scorns to mo like an im
possible absurdity , at least with Captain
Mulford and the Omaha guards so near at
band. However , It may bo fortunate that I
brought my Winchester nlong ; I may have n
chance tousolton olpgor gamothau cither
coyote or antclopo. "
"Indeed , ! am Badly afraid you will , George ,
II jou eel buck to New York without hear

you have drawn u finer conception
of ( bo vagabonds than I have ;
but I do wish Pierre Uaptisto
would como , Ula prolonged absence , I fear , Is
J
only to verify my worst forebodings , " con
tinued Mr. Barrett.
"There look thcro comes some ono this
very moment. Speak of nn nngel nnd but ,
bless tno , what a strange looking biped l-a
friend of JOUM , Nnnl" exclaimed Cameron ,
tbo llrst to discover the figure of n human
being approaching the mansion from the
farthest end of the grove.
Turning their ojos In the direction Indi
cated by the j-oung Now Yoiucr , the HarrotUs
descried the slrongor advancing ou n rapid
run ,
The tone , sidling , loping trot and n peculiar
motion of the arms , Imparted nloncoto their
experienced gaze that ho wus nn Indian.
The speed nt which ho advanced stiRgestcd
unquestionably that ho bow important
