The scout and hU companions luvl nlmost ivached the edpo of the tlnibor , when the former came to an abrupt halt , nt the s.nuo time throwlnp np his li.md as n signal for thu other * to do likewise. Not twenty yards In their front loomed up through the d.irk- ness llio form of a solitary Indian. Thnvtu- llant half-breed had illsooverod liliu not a monieiit too soon. Ho stood moveless as u statue. Ills neck was craned and hlsheadwas turned to one side , with every facnltv evi dently coticeiitrnted In the ono of attention. Ills acute heat hip had doubtless detected some unusual sound. Thoilark outllin of the savnpo's form was plainly visible tu the scout , nmllth a tiiuiwk'dge of his cxa.'l position , Ills moclo of notion was sneeillly determined upon.Vav \ lilg hU hand lor our friends to remain per fectly ( inlet , ho handed his Winchester to Hob jr. drew his lomr knlfo and eiopt away with the stealth of n panther. Ills move ments wore so guarded that nu sound what ever was prtidueed , and the Slou\ sentinel leinalned niiciinsoious of his tiroxlinlty. ThudoslrtHi spot was tlnallj i-oached by the crouching scout. Ilo bent lowi-r and lower , gathering nil his strength for the spring. In another moment our friends saw his dark form lunpo through the air. The half-breed's calculations had been mar- \elously exact. Ho clutched llio helplesn buck by tbo throat and bore him to the prouiiil. Then there was a short slntpple , a i'asp , a nio'in. and the deed was done , and burning back to his friends. HaptHto apaln led tlieni forward nnd unmolested they imulo their way tliionph the timber. limerglnunut upon the prairie they con tinued on for the period of an hour , when suddenly the scnut halted apalii , this time upon the summit of a slight elevation. A faint bree/o wassimghlng tnronglitho bullalo grass , but the ranchmen heard no sound but that. It wns evident , however , that the aento ear of the scout had detected something elfii. Ilo stood motionless a moment and then taking u step or two. stopped npaln. "What is It PlciTO ! " Uut as Mr. Hnrrett jiropoundod the ques- tlon , the reply c.uuo from thocauso Itsell , A single , ionp. portentous halloo swont over the intervening plain to the cars ot the listening fugitives. Almost instantly after a wild chorus of yells arose back somewhere In the neigh borhood of the deserted mansion , plainly dis closing to our fiionds that the enemy had inado some important ( llhcou'ry. "Listen ! Ah ! they've tired the house Mr , Hariett ' . " Too true. L-ooklng agnla our friends 1)3- held 'i bripht. luriil glare llasn up toward the heavens , and they know that their beloved prairie homo was a mass of ilnnics that the frustrated s'tvnges were venting their wrath upon that harmless stmetuie. Culv ) a moment longer did our little party linger , when npaln they won ) speeding over tlio plain \\lth all their cnerpy. Diptisto had struck the wagon's trail and maintained it with the InlalliDlllty of instinct. The nlphi hndprowa quito cold , nml their vigorous exercise nluno kept our fdonds from suffering physically , but mentally their torture - turo was almost unendurable. t'liially they iieared a small motto of timber , tlio Identical grove \\licni the party under Lo I oup hud tonnd nnil ministered lethe wounds of tlio young Cheyenne. At this juncture , to their dire alarm , they discovered immediately la their front a body of mounted Indians , com ing directly toward them , it seemed. The scout hastily pave His orders , and stooping In the grass , which In this locality' wns tall nirl exuberant , our little party run a few hundred yards to one side , then dropped Hat to the earth , holding their Winchesters ready for service at the slightest warning , Hy this time the wild Bedouins had approached preached so clnso that it coined inevitable Unit our little party could not escape detec tion. tion.Hut the dancer passed. The painted and bedecked horsemen appeared to have abrupt ly discovered some sign or slpnnl nnay on the dim bon/on , for after vhooliiiK and cir cling a moment , they came to a halt the heads of their ponies pointing to the north west. The next moment they dashed tumultuously - tuously away. Then our Iriemls niraln moved on. An hour later , when the night was pretty well advanced and the full round moon burst forth from the scattering scud above. Hood ing the whole vast ocean of praino with her soil radiance , the fugitives descried some thing larin advance thnt suspiciously resem bled n slatlonaiy wapon , tlio sight of which lllled their hearts \\ltb a sickening dre.ul. "It isn't it 1'ierre " is tho-wiigon , en- iinned Hob. jr. , In an unsteady voice , as they approached a little closer. "Yes , there Is no unmake , and them's been de\ll's doings ahead ! " was the quick re sponse ot the scout. A piteous cry escaped both father and son as tlio lialf-niwd's awful words fell upon their oars , and heedless ol nil expostulation they ran frantically on over tbo plain toward the old conveyance , which looked gloomy and .spectral in tbo weird moonlight , and stood exactly as Lo Uoup's wolves had aban doned it. What a spectacle met their gao \\hon they reached that woeful spot ! Tlio swollen carcasses of the horses , and the dead and disfigured bodies of three half-linked savages lying where they had been stricken down by youns Cameron nnd Scipio , made them shudder to the mar row of tlieir bones , and tremble with fear for the precious ones for whom they wildly searched. "Mother ! Nan ! Nell ! where are you ? " And in his distraction Hob , jr. , leaped into the wagon. Instead of alighting firmly upon his feet , ho slipped ami loll , but instantly sprang up again , discovering .tho cause of his mishap. 11 was a dark pool of sticky blood ! Then the sight that greeted his eyes lio/.o his blood with horror , and caused him to recoil as it ho hail ueelveil a death-blow. Stietcning out his linnils , ns if to shut out ttio nwmlltng scene , ho uttered an ngon- i/od cry , and fell upon his Icnros. Instantly bo recovered from this will ! paroxysm of pi'of ' , and with stony glare t' ed upon the gory pile before him. It was the ghastly nnd scalploss corpse of his gxmtlo mother mid old Aunt J Jolllah , dls- lipnrcil by a mutilation too revolting for de scription. When the youmr ranelnnan arose thorouaa an insino look In his bloodshot eyes , but lo.ip- Inp to the groundho looked at the wagonthen nodilinp to Haptlsto , threw his arm about his father , and led him back from the spot. The scout watched them a moment , his rough countenance showing his own feelings , as well as tbo compassion bo felt for the father and son. Then motioning to liona- pate , to assist him , ho climbed up into Uie wagon. The interior bore the marks ot the violent struggle that had occurred there but a few hours before , U'no bravo old negress had not yielded up her lilo without a desperate resistance uas obvious to the scout's practiced oyo. In ono clenched hand were threads of lontf\\lry , black hair , which she had torn from thoheau of ono of her assailants , and with the other she still grasped tlto heavy oaken seat that had proven such a terrlblo Instrument of de fense in her hands , The hnlf-breod quickly rcjolnc.il the grieving Honnparte , ana with tholr hatchets nnd knives , after much labor , succeeded In excavating a grave largo enough to hold both bodloi. In an hour's time the two murdered \vomcii had been laid to rest , nnd a huge boulder , which was found conveniently near , rolled upon their lonely prave. Next the tireless scout turned bis atten tion to examining the slijns about the wnpon , and bo wasn't ' Ionp in discovering the trail of the Indians and tholr four captives , which led off to the north , toward the distant tlnibor. Approaching father and son I'lcrro satit : "Well , folks , this Is tud. but we've ' notlmo to waste ; wo have done all that can bo done now for the dead , nnd the living call on us for help. The two girls , your friend Cumoron with the daiUoy , have been carried oft can- lives.1' Mr. Hiirrott and Jlob jr. stood pa'o and moveless , unit without a word signified their willingness to follow the scout in whatsoever - soever ho judged best to ito , " ( Jonio we'll follow thoni , come what may , Wo can't hardly expect to reach Pine Hidge In safety , so wo may ns well do what wo can , If It Is possible to do anything for the rest of our friends , then lildo In the sand-hills and trust to 1'rovldonco.

Alas ! what was to become of her. The two girls , utterly exhausted nnd broken lu spirit , reclined against a thngo lop , n few yauls awiu . They bad noticed the hca\v gloom that had taken possession of their connmntoa In captivity , yet they at tempted no communication with him , tluniuli they yeained for the sound of his voice. Suddenly u tall , majestic Slonx sttiikud from the snvngo group , and began lian ig- ing thuin with nil the loltlnoss of inannorof n notoil sovereign.

Ho was .skillful In the elinso , a terror on the warpath , and an eloquent orator a certain avenue to popular favor among the until toicd child ron of the plnins. lie was the incarnation of every thing wicked and llontlish , ami nddlctod to the Indulgence of the most ferocious n.is- sions of his people : ho was never found on thobhtoof nteicv , lint was nl\Miys n chief In stigator lu iill deeds of torture and revenge. With cunning and nrtfiil speech lie Impressed his brother warriors with the necessity of disposing of their male captives before the dawn of another day. la his subtle address he made the deeds ol Cam eron and Scipio of tin' greatest nnd inirenio- ( llaldo provocation. Hi' pointed to theyoung New Voikerand described thodo.uhof one of their most distinguished braves , whoso skull had been shattered to atoms by n blow from his clubbed Winchester , nnd lifting his voice to a Ditch of terrillc animation ami im passioned energy , ho declared that thu pile fneo and his bliiclc ally must die at once , in atonement for the havoc they had effected in their ranks.
