CHAPTER I.
Hampton, of Placer.
It was not an uncommon tragedy of
the west If slightest chronicle of It
survive, it must be discovered among
the musty aad aearly forgoftea rec
ords of the Eighteenth regiment. of in
fantry. ' '
Tet the tale la worth telllag aow,
when such days are past aad gone.
There were 16 of them when,, like ao
many hunted rabbits, they were first
securely trapped among the frowning
rocks, and forced releatlessly back
ward from off the narrow trail until
the precipitous canyon walls finally
halted their disorganised flight, and
from sheer necessity compelled a. rally
In hopeless battle. Sixteen. ten in
fantrymen from old Fort.Bethune, un
der command of Syd. Wyman, a gray
headed sergeant of 30 years' continu
ous service in the regulars, two cow-
punchers from the "XL" ranch, a
stranger who had joined them unin
vited at the ford over the Bear Water,
together with old Glllis, the post
trader, and his silent chit of a girl.
' Sixteen but that was three days be
fore, and in the meanwhile not a few
of those 'speeding Sioux bullets had
found softer billet than the limestone
rocks. Six of the soldiers, four al
rea'dy dead, two dying, lay out
stretched in ghastly silence where they
fell.
Then the taciturn Gillis gave sud
den .utterance to a sobbing cry, and a
burst of red spurted across his white
beard as he reeled backward, knock
ing the girl prostrate when he fell.
Eight remained, one helpless, one a
mere lass of 15. It was the morning
of the third day.
The beginning of the affair had burst
upon them so suddenly that no two in
that stricken company would have
told the same tale. None among them
had anticipated trouble.
In all the fancied security of un
questioned peace these chance trav
elers had slowly toiled along the steep
trail leading toward the foothills.
Glllis and the girl, as well as the two
cattleherders, were on horseback; the
remainder soberly trudged forward on

ders. Wyman was 'somewhat In ad
vance, walking beside the stranger,
the latter a maa of uncertain age,
smoothly shaven, quietly dressed la
garments bespeaking an eastern tailor,
a bit grlxsled of hair along the tem
ples, aad possessing a pair of cool,
gray eyes. He had introduced himself
by the name of Hampton, but had vol
unteered no further information, nor
was It customary In that country to
question impertinently.
Hampton, through the medium of
easy conversation, early discovered In
the sergeant an intelligent mind, pos
sessing some knowledge of literature.
They had been discussing books with
rare enthusiasm, and the former had
drawn from the concealment of an
inner pocket a diminutive copy of "The
Merchant of Venice," from which he
was reading aloud a disputed passage,
when the faint trail they followed sud
denly dipped into the yawning mouth
of a buck canyon. It was a narrow,
gloomy, contracted gorge, a mere gash
between those towering hills shadow
ing its depths on either hand. A swift
mountain stream, noisy and clear as
crystal, dashed from rock to rock close
beside the more northern wall, while
the Ill-defined pathway, strewn with
bowlders and guarded by underbrush,
clung to the opposite side, where low
scrub trees partially obscured the
view.
All was silent as death when they
entered, yet they had barely advanced
a short hundred paces when tho$e ap
parently bare rocks in front flamed
red, the narrow defile echoed to wild
screeches and became instantly crowd
ed with weird, leaping figures. It was
like a plunge from heaven into hell.
Blaine and Endicott sank at the first
fire, while Wyman's stricken arm
dripped blood. Indeed, 'under that
sudden shock, he fell, and was barely
rescued by the prompt action of the
man beside him. Dropping the opened
book, and firing madly to left and
right with a revolver which appeared
to spring into his hand as by magic,
the latter coolly dragged the fainting
soldier across the more exposed space,
until the two found partial security
among a mass of loosened rocks litter
ing the base of the precipice. The
others who survived that first scorch
ing discharge also raced toward this
same shelter, impelled thereto by the
unerring Instinct of border fighting,
and flinging themselves flat behind
protecting bowlders, began responding
to the hot fire rained upon them.
Scattered and hurried as these first
volleys were, they proved sufficient to
check the howling demons in the open.
It has never been"Indian nature to
'face unprotected the aim of the white
men, and those dark figures, which
only a moment before thronged the
narrow gorge, leaping crazily in the
riot of apparent victory, suddenly
melted from sight, slinking down into
leafy coverts beside the stream or into
holes among the rocks, like so many
vanishing 'prairie dogs. Now and then
a sinewy brown arm might incautious
ly project across the gleaming surface
of a rock, or a mop of coarse, black
hair appear above the edge of a gully,
either incident resulting in a quick
Interchange of fire. That was all; yet
the experienced frontiersmen knew
that eyes as keen as those of any wild
animal of the jungle were watching
murderously their slightest movement.
Wyman, now reclining In agony
against the base of the overhanging
cliff, directed the movements of his
little' command calmly and with sober
military judgment. Little by little, un
der protection of the rifles of the three
civilians, the uninjured infantrymen
crept cautiously about, rolling loosened
bowlders forward Into position, until
they finally succeeded In thus erecting
a rude barricade between them and the
enemy. The wounded who could be
reached were-laboriously drawn back
within this improvised shelter, and
when the black shadows of the night
finally shut down, all remaining alive
were once more clustered together,
the injured lying moaning and ghastly
beneath the overhanging shelf of rock,
and the girl, who possessed all the pa
tient stoicism of frontier training, rest
ing in silence, her widely opened eyes
on those far-off stars peeping above
the brink of the chasm, her head pil
lowed on old Gillis' knee.
Twice during the long night volun
teers sought vainly to pierce those

through the dense underbrush hi
search after water. By some miracle
of dlvton mercy he was permitted to
pass unscathed and came crawling,
back, a dosea hastily "filled canteens
dangling across his shoulders. It was
like nectar 'to those parched, feverish'
throats; but of food barely a mouth
ful a piece remained in the haver
sacks. -
The second day dragged onward, its
hours bringing no change for the bet
ter, no relief, no slightest ray of hope.
The hot sua scorched them, pitilessly,
and two of the wounded died delirious.
From dawn to dark there came no
slackening of the savage watchfulness
which held.' the survivors 'helpless be
hind their covert. " The merest up
llftlng of a head, the slightest move
ment of a hand, was suflcieat to dem
onstrate how sharp were those savage
eyes.
Another long, black Bight followed,
during which, for an hour or so la
turnr the weary defenders slept, toss-..
Ing uneasily, and disturbed by fearful
dreams. Then gray and solemn, amid
the lingering shadows of darkness,
dawned the third dread day of un
equal conflict. All understood that It
was destined to be their last on this
earth unless help came.
' For two days Wyman had scarcely
stirred from where he lay bolstered
against the rock. Sometimes he be
came delirious from fever, uttering la
coherent phrases, or swearing la piti
ful weakness. Again he would 'par
tially arouse to his old sense of sol
dierly duty, aad assume Intelligent
command.. Now" he twisted paiafully
about upon his side, aad. with cloaded
eyes, sought to discern what jnan was
lying next him.rThe face was hidden
so that all he could clearly "distlaguish
was the fact that this man was aot
clothed as a soldier. ' ' "
"Is that you, Hampton?" he
tioned, his voice barely audible.
ques-
The person thus addressed, who waa
lying flat tupon his back, gazing si
lently upward at the rocky front 'of
the cliff, turned cautiously over upon
his "elbow before venturing reply.
"Yes; what is It. sergeant? It looks
to be a beauty of a morning way np
yonder."
There was a hearty, cheery ring to
his clear voice which left the pain
racked old soldier envious.
"My God!" lie growled savagely.
" 'Tis likely to be the last any of aa
will ever see. Wasn't it you I heard
whistling just now? .One might Im
agine this was to be a wedding, rather
than a funeral."
"And why not, Wymaa? Didn't yon
know they employed music at both
functions nowadays? Besides, it is not,
every man who is permitted 'to assist
at his owa obsequies the very unique
ness of such a situation rather appeals
to my sense of humor."
The sergeant, his teeth clinched
tightly to repress the pain racking
him, stifled his resentment with an
evident effort Ton 'may be less
light-hearted when you leara that the
last of our ammunition Is already la
the guns," he remarked, stiffly.
"I suspected as much." Aad the'
speaker lifted himself on one. elbow to
peer down the line' of recumbent fig
ures. "To be perfectly frank with
