"TTiey; afn't all Arapahoes, (hat's cer tain," said lloylan at last. "Some of 'cm are Chtiyennes. I've seen that chief before it's Roman Nose." "The big buck humped up on the ronn ?"

"Those fellows have evidently got together; we're going to have the biggest Bcrap this summer the old army has had yet. Looks as though It was gofng to-bugln right here and now. See there! The garnering twilight distorted the fig ures, making them almost grotesque in tneir savagery. Yet they could be clearly distinguished, stealing silent ly forward, guns In hand, spreading out in a wide half-circle, obedient to the gestures of Roman Nose, who, still mounted upon his pony, was travers ing the river bank, his every motion outlined against the dull gleam of wa ter behind him. From the black depths of the coach the three men watched In almost breathless silence, gripping their weapons, fascinated, determined not to waste a shot. Gon zales, under the strain, uttered a fierce Spanish curse, but Hamlin crushed bis arm between iron fingers. "Keep still, you fool!" he muttered, never glancing around. "Let your gun talk!" The assailants came creeping on, snakes rather than men, appearing less and less human In the increasing shadows. Twice the Sergeant lifted his Henry, sighting along the brown barrel, lowering the weapon again in doubt of the distance. He was con scious of exultation, of a swifter pulse like a delirium of fever; he almost ex pected to see those motionless bodies outstretched on the grass Bpring up, yelling defiance. ' Then he gripped himself firmly, realizing the truth it was over with for the present; away off there in the hase obscuring the rlv. utterly, his blood seemed to stop. Good God in Heaven's 'name, did she ever get! there? Thn suddenly sne lifted her head slightly, brushing back her hair with one arm; the faint starlight gleamed on .a steel barrel.

Did, they touch you?" "No; that is, I am not quite Bure; it it was all so horrible I cannot re member. Who are you? Are you the the soldier?" "Yes I'm Hamlin. Would you mind telling me how you ever got over there?" . . ; ; She straightened op, seemed to no tice the heavy revolver in her fingers, and let it fall to the floor. ' "Oh, it is like a dream an awful dream: I couldn't help myself. When the Mexican 'rolled off on to the floor, I knew he was dead, and and there was his revolver held right out to me In his hand.- Before I realized I had it, and was up here I I killed one- he he feU in the wheel; I I can never forget that!" " "Don't try' broke in Hamlin earn estly. "Tou're aU right," he added, admiration in his voice. "And so it was you there with the small gun.

It- it was all .smoke out there when I got to the window; they they looked like like wild beasts, and it didn't seem to me I was myself at all." The man laughed lightly. "You did the right thing, that's all," he consoled, anxious to control her! excitement. - "Now: you and I must decide what to do next we are all alone." ; - "Alone I Has Mr. Moylan been hit also?" "Ye,n he2 answered, feeling it was better to tell her frankly. "He was shot, and is beyond our help. But come," and lie reached over and took her hand, "you must not give up now." She offered no resistance, but sat motionless;- her face turned away. Yet she knew she trembled from head to foot, the reaction mastering her.

A.- 8:30, Trinity a great gamfc. 65-2t Hamlin studiod the distant feath-J ot the heart, yet his nerves were like steel, his grip steady. Only a dim fleeting memory of the girl, half hid den in the darkness behind, gave him uneasiness he could not turn and look Into her eyes. Roman Nose was advancing now at the center of that creeping hall circle, a hulking figure perched on his pony's back, yet well out ot rifle range. He spread his diince is on, boys; there they come;' hnd apart, clasping a. blanket, look they will try It on foot this time." '"S llko ereat blrd napping Its wings, He tested his rifle, resting one knee and tD8 ground In 'ront flamed, the on the seat; Moylan pushed the bar- rel "a splitting the gray gloom. The rel of his Winchester out through the speeding bullets crashed through the ragged hole In the back of the coach, leather of the coach, splintering the and the little Mexican lay' flat, his wood'- the Mexican rolled to the floor, ryes on the level with the window-ca-: uttering one Inhuman cry, and lay mo inc. The eirl alone remained motion.' tionless; a great volume of black less, crouched on the floor, her white face uplifted. The entire field stretching to the river was clear to the view, the short, dry buffalo-grass offering no conceal ment. To the right f the coach, some fifty feet away, was the only depres sion, a shallow gully leading down smoke wavered in the still air. "Walt! Waif until they get to their feet!" Hamlin cried eagerly." "Ah! there they come now unllmber." He saw only those black, indistinct figures, leaping out ot the smoke, con verging on the coach, their naked arms uplifted, their voices mingling in from tlv; bluff, but this slight ad van-! savage yells. Like lightning he worked I tafto was unavailable. The sun had al- bis rifle, heart throbbing to the ex- rcaO: droii-ifid iron vJeiv. and the cltement oblivious to all else; . almost without realization he heard the deep er bellow of Moylan's Winchester, the sharp bark of a revolver at bis very ear. Gonzales was all right, then! Good! He never thought of the girl, never saw her grip the pistol from the Mexican's dead band, and crawl wblte- 1 faced, over his body, to that front seat. All be really knew was that those dev ils were coming, leaping, crowding through the smoke wreathes; he saw them stumble, and rise again; he saw one leap into the air, and then crash face down; he saw them break, cir cling to right and left, crouching as twy ran. Two reached the stage only one! One pitched forward, a re volver bullet between his eyes, bis head wedged in the spokes of the wheel; the olhar Hamlin struck with emptied rifle-barrel ss his red hand gripped the door, set ding UIt. sprawl ing back Into the dir.'.. It was all ths work of a minute, sn awful minute, In tense, breathless then silence, the t'ninke drifting away, the dark night htilini? thei skulking runners. AH He Really Knew Was That Those Devils Were Coming, ' Leaping, Crowding. and soundless, except for some one's swift, excited breathing. As he ex-' tended his cramped legs to the floor he touched a motionless body. Not until then had he realized the possi bility of death also within. He felt downward with one band, his nerves suddenly throbbing, and his finger'; touched a cold face the Mexican. It I must have been that last volley, for he could distinctly recall the sharp bark of GonzaleB revolver between his own shots. "The little devil," he muttered sober ly. "It was a squarer death than he deserved. He was a game little cock." Then ' he thought of Moylan, won dering why the man did not move, or Bpeak. That was not like Moylan. He bent forward, half afraid in the still ness, endeavoring , to discover Space on the floor for both; his feet He could perceive now a"? distant star showing clear through the. ragged opening jabbed In the back of the coach, but no outline of the sutler's burly shoulders. "Moylan!" he called, hardly above a whisper. "What is the trouble? Have you been hit, mant" . , There was no answer, no responding sound, and ho stood up, reaching kind ly over across the seat. Then ne knew, and felt a shudder run through him from head to foot. . Bent double over the iron back of the middle seat with Itands still gripping his hot rifle, the man hung, limp and lifeless. Al most without realizing the set, Ham lin lifted the heavy body, laid it down upon the cushion, and unclasped the dead fingers gripping the Winchester hlt They are as much afraid as welnesa Biuta nnd ladies Iilain ol- toe IT I . .
