THE UOSTOMAK'8 CXKKBUKI TOUC.
Otto afternoon, shortly after they, had
gone into camp, they were attacked by a
band of 5J0O or 400 dheveane braves with
all the suddenness ana terrible ferocity
peculiar to Indian, warfare. Hennessy
saw them coming and instantly ordered
the men to run for a canyon just west of
the trail. They misunderstood the direc
tion, and instead of west took the trail
north. The mistake hastened their doom.
Willi wild yells of savago delight the
Indians circled around the three men.
Korison was left behind in the race. He
saw Indians on every side. No chance
of escape, death certain. His alarm was
over. The tenderfoot was a man. With
a rapidity that indicated aprevio train
ing.he raised his Winchester and fired
into the Indians with shots so quick they
almost seemed one. Deadly shooting,
too, for five painted warriors had gone
down, their death cry ringing out and
mingling. with the dog Eke snarls of
several who. were wounded. Ihe In
dians returned the fire and the three
white men fell.
Old Pat saw the fight from his retreat
intherocka. His mind had undergone
a great change in regard to the aw from
Boston, and as the savages rushed in to
sualptbe three fallen mennisown deadly
Winchester came to his shoulder, the
sights caught the dusky form of a big
Indian Just in the act of scalping Korison.
The rifle belched forth its messenger of
death, and a red fiend sprang high into
the air, then sank down, still and dead.
It was not that fiend of the plains, Black
Scar, but another redskin, who, rushing
forward to try for the scalp of Korison,
met his own well deserved fate from the
sureaimofPat. With yells of fury, the
Indians left the three prostrate forms to
attack their more formidahle enemy, and
from the belts of three bucks there
dangled the scalps of three whites.
Henneesy was well prepared for de
fense, an immense rock behind, rocks at
the side and in front also, which was tint
only point at which an attack could bs
made, and there over the rock gleamed
with deadly menace his 16-shot Win
chester. Swift now and hot the fight
Over 800 ngainst one, but that one cool,
determined uad desperate, a Itost in him
self. Into tho advancing horde go rifle
balls on errands of death, killing and
wounding as they tear through the red
ranks. With insane courage the savages
rush up within, ten yards of the rock.
Pat no longer sighted his gun; he rests
it on a rock, cocks it with hand and pulls
the lever and trigger with the other, and
point blank into the red devils be sends
an almost continuous stream of leaden
balls. They waver, break, retreat, but
only for a moment.
ins Finmo ceased.
The chief has .been killed, but Black
Scar takes command, waves aloft the
scalp of Korison, points to the dead
braves, calls for vengeance and orders
the fight to be renewed. Thistimethe
attack is made in front and at both ajdw.
If they can scale the rocks at the sides,
Pat will beat their mercy. From the
death dealing point in front tho good old
Winchester again pours forth, its terrible
destruction, and at the loud command of
Black Scar they surge round in front,
face to face with their dunperate foe.
Pat's revolver, a self cocker, does deadly
work, fired into the yelling mass ten feet
away, the last load gone, and again the
Winchester at close range covers the
ground with dead and dying. The red
monsters are forced back from that death
vomiting rock, back from a single gun,
back from one man, back from brave
Pat Heanessy.
'In a few moments the whole band
would have fled, when suddenly the fir
ing ceased. Pate gun had become so
dirty and hot by such constant firing
that, horrible to relate, while attempting
to put in a cartridge it stuck fast and could
not be forced either in or out. The In
dians supposed he was out of ammuni
tion and with savage yells rushed in to
secure their prize. Pat met tlii-ni with
clubbed gun, and broken heads and Umes
were plenty as they came within sweep
of his strong arms ui the death struggle;
but tltose behind still pressed on atiuhe
wan soon overpowered and secured. In
furiated at the kiss of 8omany of their
number, they took poor Pat, tore his
scalp from lus head, bound him to one
of his own wagon wheels, emptied sacks
of oats around him and set them on fire.
Just as they commenced their devilish
torture' and dance around their victim
they beard a shot echo from the dis
tance. The alarm was raked that the
soldiers were coming and the stampede
at once began. Picking up the wounded
and some of Hie dead, the Indiana
mounted their banes and scampered off.
The evening shades gathered darkly
and all was etfll as the fire burned, and
the spirit of brave Pat passed away and
found rest in the land or the hereafter.
There be was buried the next day by
some other t freighters. The bodies of
thirty dead Indians were also found and
were afterward removed by their red
brothers. Pat was known as a brave

of it, but when she did she made short
work of him. She rested her 6teady eyes
upon hk person, but never permitted
their range to reach above the top of hk

lively and critical interest in him. In a

The logs are cut into lengths of fl inches,
these are sawed into blocks, the blocks

littie wheezy cough they sometimes give
while eating. I cautiously withdrew be

neighborhood and stok a glance over in
the direction of the sound. There were
three does, a pegbuck and the paterfa

concluded that as they were browsing
over in my direction, any movement
on my part would simply stampede
them, andl satisfied myself as well as I
could in observing their movements.
"The sun was just about setting, and
its last rays were falling full in the en
trance to the valley, when there loped
into sight another buck, equal in every
point save of attendance to the fat fel
low I had oeen admiring. Buck number
one stood rigid and erect as he came in

gazed at each other angrily for a mo

coming together with a shock that made
the little valley ring with its force. I
almost imagined that some occult force
had separated them, for they fell on
tneir knees nrteen good paces apart.
They did not remain in that position
long. They were up and at it
again in a trice. They fought with a
ferocity that I have never seen equaled.
I could hear every lick as it was deliv
ered, sometimes on the side, sometimes
on the rump, and when a lick was par
ried on the boms it sounded like drop
ping a load of fish bars on a stone
pavement. Such vicious lunges you
never saw. The velvety coats were torn
and ripped from withers to rump, and
blood was running from side, as well as
mouth and nostrils. Down would go a
bead, and an upper cut would fall prone
upon the stomach that I thought must
be fatal. Bang would go a whok forest
of horns into a side, and number one or
two would fall upon the ground, white
quick as lightning the up deer would
slash at hk fallen adversary with hk
sharp front teeth, cutting like a knife.
INCONSTANT DOES.
"The does and the peg stood by as
inunovable as the big trees, save now
and then they would open their lips and
give a piteous bleat as their champion
would get worsted in the fight. Buck
number two fought with a grim deter
mination, to show that the odds of favor
from being in the presence of hk ad
versary's harem should not count
against him. Back and forth waged the
contest; now there would be a lull as
they locked horns for a breathing spell,
white their eves, red with anger, would
flash into each other from beneath their
intertwining antlers. Now they would
break apart, then a lunge, and now a
vicious counter. The fight waged for
twenty minutes, when suddenly buck
number two, the intruder, got in a long;
vicious dig that tore hk adversary well
across the side. He fell with a pitiful
cry of distress, and number two stood
over him for a few moments, then made
several cuts to hk already bleeding side,
and, turning, walked over to hk pros
trate enemy's family.
"They licked hk wounds ss tenderly
as if be, the victor, had always been their
lord and master, instead of themurderer
of their long while guardian and friend.
"I was so indignant that I drew my
knife and made a senseless rush for toe
victorious bock, causing the whole herd
to scatter to wild fright. I stooped over
the poor, bleeding victim and relkved
hk sufferings with my sharp 'Price to a
