A disgraceful riot, which may result in the death of five men, is reported from West Fork, a thickly settled neighborhood, seven miles from English, Ind.- Four fa m lies were represented in the riot, and pistgjs, stones and knives were freely used, and a dozen or uroro menare.saidto.be more or less dangerously hurt. It appears .that one of the Wiseman boys had been-payiug attention to' a young lady of the neighborhood for several years and that several other young meu had become incensed against him in consequence. All met at the. West Fork Church, and en gaged iu a wordy war over the girl. The dis turbance conipelled the congregation to leave. While in the churchyard a pistol shot was fired, and the fighting soon became general. Wiliiam and John Wiseman, William Lowe, Itobert Baggerty, and Kdward Jones were all seriously wounded and may die, while-others were more or-less hurt.

He w as aware he had not passed-over many miles, owing to the dangerous passes and longhuess of the way. Another day passed in comparative quiet arid safety, and as the a ternoou began jo wane, Skete onoo more began his tedious journey, knowiug that, as the moon did not rise until so late, he tiytst now continue his trail in the day time, and besides, as the way was more dangerpus now, ana the trail more Ob I acure, Skete trusted much to the in i i.i. j.i:.i,i.i ii..u rands below him,.Skete felt that he was indeed nearing home, and he could scarcely repress a erjrof rafturous joy.

" HAITEU Xiv. ' O Xora the delighf of a gallop on th back of her own pel pony was the best tonic that could hav been offered. She chose a wester direction, and re solved to reach ih no near and vet thai, ifas several long miles distant. f':" She had never been over tny of .th mountains of the AVest. bnt she found great delight in viewing their towering summits and grass and bush grown sides. 99 The Union racifie had only been ompleted as far as Cheyenne, and her route was the well-worn road of th old trail, where pia ne schooners were accustomed fo cross the long,' long stretch of prairie lands and Ipse them selves in the mountain passes, on their seemingly endless journey to the far famod Golden Gate. As she rode do ward her troubled heart took in new strength, and th calm . clearness of the day, so wholly and entirely bright, was exhilarating. Mile after mile was gone over, and the Kockies rose before her; gradually she found herself rising ' above the un dulating prairies.' - ."We'll try some of these small roads, a genuine trail, my pet. dee! here ts one that promises to be highly inter-t esling." And Nora and Pasl.ing laiy lef. the bread mountain road, and struck' tout into the ilarrow trail. Hushes ot pin in and currants grew about" them and tall pines. Huge bowlders of rocks were piled ui in reckless profu -dori - some of them appearing -;ust ready to tumble down the mountain side. " Accidentally, Nora had selected a lonely and dangerous trail, but of t is she was not aware until, as they pene trated farther and farther up the mountain side, she discovered the.r way to be so narrow it was impossible for her pony to turn in the path, for sither heavy, impassable bnahes hedge I them in or sadden shelving rocks and deep canons, where a misstep was certain death. The day was nearing its close, and Nora looked about her in alarm. "Oh, Daisy, pet, what are we to do?" he exclaimed aloud. "I kept-thinking as we proceeded that we would find "x P . tDiftme could tarn around and retrace onr leps. ifa t the way only gets wilder id more dmeerons. and the trail is n fw leading down the monntain side to ruere -haven't the least idea.

"Oh," gaspedN0ra "Ihow you scared me, sir.uj i am very anxious to return to Cheyehrwu I was vefy foolish, to trust myself alCjaw iu the 'mountains. They will be so alarmeu about me." , , The man drew bis large bat further over his bro, lind, rifle in hand, grasped thTpooysoridle and proceed ed; down the mountain path slowly and cautious!y.' , : $ . : Well -can we" not turn about and retrace our steps soon ?" pleaded Nora. "There is no .way of gittin'ontof this scrape, Miss, but to push right on straight ahead. ' I calc tlate you'll not see Cheyenne to-night." "Oh, dearl hat shall I do? Is there a habitation near here some settler on the ' mountains that you know of where-: " , ' ."There's no place nearer than five milt s, ' through the roughest country yon ever did see, Mips. I guess you'll have to put up with what us boys can offer, for the present." Nora wondered what he meaiiMtiJ' "us boys," but concluded it must be a party of hunters campings-near. ' t he was right. Just as "the pun hid its smiling face behind a mountain, she saw a camp hre, around which were clustered ' a half-dozen rough-looking hunters. ' "Hallo, Jim, is that the sort of game you bring in ?" laughed one of the men, coarsely. ' "It's the kind I bring in to-n:ght. This yer gal got lost in the trail, an' 1 brought her ont. She's anxious tore turn to Cheyenne to-night, she says. Any o" you fellows want to guide her over the mountains ?" No one answered, and Jim con tinued: ' "I told her she'd have to put up with the best we.couhl offer fur the present, an in the morning I reckon some o' yott uns can ta!e lier back as far as the road." ' , " X ght ' haJ nowf set in, and Xora scary and full of j fears in herprescut doubtful friends, 'disfnonnjetfand ap jroaclud the tire.

' Jim had attended to her weary pony and drew near tlteiri, but before he had ppoken a word a sound of horses.' hoofs rang out down the mountain side, and the men looked at .each other in sur prise, more than one placing their hands upon their revolers. "It's the Captain," said some one "I know it's him by the way he rides. Yes, here he is." y- Nora turned her head and Wondered carelessly who "the Captain" wasi As she did so the blaze of the fire brought out plainly her fair face and girlish figure, and it also fell npon the ap proaching stranger. Who lifted his-bat with a graceful bpw, and Nora gazed full in the handsome, cruel face of her enemy, Dan Le Fane. y tHAPTERXV. Olt-A started ' back, and with difficulty only 're strained a cry of repnlaion and fear; the exultant light in his bo'd. black eyes caused her to trembW with apprehension. ' "What a pleasure this is, Miss Fairleigh, to find you so easily when your friends are scouring the country for you far and near." "How came you to reach, me so- easily?" inquired Xora, resolv'n'T to appear careless audi to conceal her fears-and apprehensions as io his intentions. i 'K "Oh. a very small thing to me, Miss Fairish; lisaw at once that your pony had ecered (he trail up the mountain side, considered so dangerous, and X merely followed you, that was all. " "I pres ime some of my other friends will be as fortunate." , The man laughed, a trifle scornfully, and replied :. "Oh, no doubt, Miss Fairleigh; but, in order that your mends need be put to as little apprehension and fear as possible we will return at onoe to them. C'ome, boys, kg4t the ponies ready; we will start at oice for the South Pas road." '": '-. Tbj men lool ed at each other in sor prise but haste ed to do his bidding. Xora beheld.

It was high noon when the voice of Dan Le Fane aroused her. J "Come, Mis Fairleigh. we cannot d lay longer: we 'must be niovine on soon, lhe boys are just down t river a wavs. 1 will iom tnearnow with your blankets.

'bathed her face, tucked up her tum- utea nair ine Dest sne could, and gazed about her, wondering ifthere was any chance for her escape. Tho willows might conceal her for ,a time, but the men ' would surely find her, hide where she would. "No, the time is not yet," sbe thought; "but whenever opportunity does offer I shall not hesitate.." Slowly she made berway to the group of men who stood near their ponies, and were evidently impatient to be off. .
