WLat are you scenting 1 Indians or Mexicans T" The speaker was a you tL of eighteen ' or nineteen, slim bat wirily built. Uifl dark brown hair hung down . About hi shoulders and his keen - blue eyes glanced in the direction that Blitzen (his horse) was sniffing the air. A broad brimmed som brero shaded his face, a lariat was 'quoiled on tbe right side of lus saddle, and a pair of heavy six shooters hung from a belt that en- circiea nis waist. To his left were tbe steep banks . of the Bio Grande, while to the L: ffiirKf of'V'aafra'ttiAf tha rrra uov r I a i u of southwestern Texas. . -.Oar BUUen," said the boy, as he tamed bis horse's bead in the direction of a ford np the river, there is something ahead, for you nerer deoeire me, yon have a keen pair of ears and a nose better than a blood aound'B." Us bad not proceed od more than ' a quarter of mile before he reached the crossing, and althongh it was growing dark, he could plainly see a somber or men on tbe other side TjlTl T" Ml J VASIIlllUlUg VIMV 1V1 VA Greasers, as I expected," mut tersd the youth, "probably some of Night Hawk's gang fixing for a raid upon the cattle ranches." " TV A fftM V liad flniaka.l 1 1 w bin ' tenee' there appeared twelve more well' snoan ted, and at their bead rode one taller than the rest, with mask over his face. ina muse oe n igui uaws him self," thought the boy, for they say be always goes masked. "I've seen enough," thought he, "to know that some mischief is in ' tended. So I'll 'git for the ranch and tell old Martin and the boys. And If an attempt is made to drive off any cattle tonight will have a lively old time." .Turning down the river he pro oeeded caqtiously until he drought be was far enough not to be seen, .then taming towards the north, he swept across the prairie like the Wind. He soon reached tbe ranch and could see lights in the windows . of Aha building. Springing irom Lit borse he went to the door and opened it. There, sitting by the fire - was a girl cf about fifteen. In her band she held a book bnc was not reading, was looking into the fire 'and was so much occupied with her own thoughts that she did not no tice tbe door being opened. - The bof stood for a moment re rarding iter with admiration. To him she seemed the very image of beanty.. Bhe wore a crimson dress Which fitted ber faultless figure to perfection, her dark glossy hair Lang down below her waist, and her dark brown , eyes had such a look of intelligence. At length he broke'.' the 1 silence by saying, 'Leona." She sprang to her feet with an exclamation of surprise. ""WhjRollol when did you comet I Lave not seen you for over a fortnight Ko; I bave been off on the trail of some stray cattle. Bat Leona where is your father 1" "Gone with -the boys to drive some tiattl, off cast." "And jod here alone T" "yp, old Sarah, tbe colored ger rgnt is.here'- ' Vt hendo you expect them back, I -riVi-- - At any time. They may come ' t this very night." "Whati aball I do' thought Ho. ; "I cannot well remain pas ? while I believe the cattle are I -stolen, and I cannot leave - Lcre almost alone, while I know a is ft bandiof Mexican cut ty so Jieax.1 ' Bat be did not te long, 1 be concluded ie i notvleaTe ber, be woald l' a arrival of Mr. Martin, get rt andgoih pnrsaitof the Ltva, loa Lt be tiici i.:i,r riding all day." - t. . ; lie drew a chair up to the fixe and sat down, then asked, "Leona, are you -not afraid to stay here with no one bat old Sarah while your father is gone T" . No," she answered, "there is no danger. And if there was isn't there my father's rifle V she said, pointing toward a Winchester in the corner of the room. "And here is the pistol you gave me," she continued as she held out a small silver mounted revolver, and you know I am a good shot. Hollo smiled as he said, "I know you are the bravest girl on this side of the liockv Mountains. Bat Leona have you seen Don Sancho lately T ' lie saw that she blushed slightly as she answered, "yes, he was here the day before my father left." "And do Leona T" "No, you know I almost hate hiin, so why did you ask that T" "Because you blushed when mentioned his name " "I will tell you," she said, "for I don't care if you know. You know it is reported that Don Ban cbo is very rich, and besides he has a title. I don't know why he should have ever taken a fancy for me, a mere child, but it seems that be did. I rejected his suit, bat my father encouraged it, and urged me to accept him. But finding that I was determined, he told Don Saucho tbe last time he was here that he might as well stop coming, for 1 was determined, and he would not force me to marry him. So he went away angry aud I have not seen him since." She had hardly finished the last Jsentence when Home one knocked at the door. "1 reckon that is father" said Leonaa as she sprung up and opened the door. A tall dark man stepped into thi room. He would be pronounced handsome by most people, his hair was black as a raven, he wore a heavy mustache of the same hue, and his eyes black as night were keen and piercing, and as restless :is a caged hyena. Leona sprang back with a look of surprise, and Kollo's hand dropped to the butt of his pistol, but, remembering himself, he quickly removed it. Leona was first to speak. Don Sancho, I thought you stood that your visits here not be agreeable." "Certainly," he said, in 'Why, under would r-alm business. tone, "Dut 1 came upon here is your father t" 'Gone East." "When will he be backf" "Probably tonight." "Well, tell him when he comes that I wish to see him upon some important business. Ho good night. And casting a searching glance at Hollo, he lett tbe room About this time old Sarah's head appeared at a door on the oppo site side ot the room, with, "bow do, Massa liollo. when you git back T" Kollo told her he had just ar rived. Then, putting on his hat, he walked toward the ot her door. "Whftre are vnn trninir Unllnf" r ri asked Leona. "I'm going to keep an eye on Don Sancho," he answered, "for I have some suspicions concerning your worthy admirer." He was soon mounted and iollow ing the retreating form of Don Sancho. lie did not know that the keen eyes of the latter had seen him mount and follow, so he kept in sight until Don Sancho reached an old tree about a mile from the ranch, where he 6 Lopped and blew a shrill blast with a whistle. About this time a cloud passed nnder the moon and Kollo lost sight of him. The cloud soon passed away and the moon shone out brightly again, but nowhere could Don Sancho be seen "Where could he have gonet" thought liollo, as he .proceeded cautiously towards the spot where he bad last seen him. He had not gone far before his horse shied off to one side and he drew a pair of revolvers just as a dark form rose from the tall grass and threw lasso. The noose fell over his shoulders, bat before it could tighten there was a flash and report, and the man who held the otlter end lost his hold and fell forward on his face. Two more sprang np to fall back dead as bis pistols flashed again. Bat the noose of a second lasso tightened aroond his neck and he found that be bad enemies in the rear, bat before he could tarn he felt himself jerked violently to the ground and saw his bone go bounding off. He tried to gain his feet, bat found himself covered by a half dozen Mexicans, and in less time than it takes to tell it, bis hands were tied and he was a com plete prisoner. "I've ran right into a trap," he said, as he looked np and saw at least two dozen men gathered around him, and one in the crowd was the same tall inan with the mask on that be had seen that evening at the crossing,; and wbo liollo Li-i i a give some or ders in Spanklij tua be -selected six oat of 4he land and sent .tbe others off under the leadership of one of bis lieutenants. - Then point ing toward Bollo, be eaid; "Here, boys, swing .this hound over the limb of that tree and leave Jhini there m food for the ravens. He has been trailing the wrong game tonight" . A man threw one end or . the lariat over the limb, three or four caught it on the other side, ana in a lew Seconds the form of ,Eollo was swinging between the earth and sky. How long he hang there he did not know, lor when he next knew anything, he was lying with his back upon the ground, and when he started to rise he found that his hands were tied and a lariat was around his neck. Then all that had happened went through bis mind like a flash. He soon gnawed the cords in two that bound his hands; then, slipping the noose of the lariat from around his neck, he was once more free. After looking around, he saw how he had been saved. The wind had risen daring the night aud the limb that be was hung to, being rotten, had broken off and let him fall to the ground. He then began searching the ground where bo bad been jerked from his horse and soon found his ievolvers where he had dropped them. He stuck them in his belt aud started towards the ranch, but soon stopped, took a whistle from his pocket and blew a keen blast, saying to himself as he did so, "if Blitzen hears that be will be sure to come." He did not have to wait long be fore blitzen came galloping up with all his trapping on. "Now j take me to the ranch quick as a streak of lightening," he said, as he sprang into the saddle. His horse seemed to understand him, for he darted off like an arrow, and in a few moments Kollo leaped from his back in front of tbe house he had so lately left. He saw that the door stood open but everything within was dark and still. He called Leona, then old Sarah, but nothing save tbe echo of his own voice answered him. He sprang into the room, stepped into something slippery and came near falling. By striking a match he could see by tbe light it gave that it was blood he bad stepped into, while lying a few feet away was a Mexican, and in one corner of the room lav old Sarah with a bullet hole through her head, but in her right hand she still clutched with a death grip a long bladed knife.
