THE RCOVT AND THE 8AV.VC1E. Tbo nfternoou was line tho Great Tlaia in full trdure. And Kit Carson, in tbe midst of this besn teoua Holitude, was " as linjipy as the birds around him. He was riding etmtward, on the Santa Fe route, just eiiHt of Fort Lamed, in Kansas. At Jeugth he drew rein. lie had reached an aliluent of the Arkansas river, ond found himself in the edge of a considerable growth of timber by which the banks of this ailluent were lined. Looking through the openings in the verdure before Lim, he saw, half a mile away, to the east ward, a single horseman approaching at an caRy pace. "What!" he ejaculated. "That fellow must be a red-skin more or loss red-skin, nny how. And yet he has a white woman on the horse before him. What ia still more singular, that white woman seems to be Bleep ing. What can this mean Continuing to advance, the strange horse man was soon near enough to be seen with considerable distinctness by the watcher. "There's minkery here," muttered Kit, under his breath, his eyas lighting up sternly. "That woman isn't taking this ride into the red-skin country of her own free will." In a minute more the stranger reached the creek, in which he proceeded to water bis horse, an Indian pony. "I know him now," said Kit to himself. "It is that infernal Fleet Foot, the half breed." The savage thus designated was one of the most villanous-looking fellows the scout had ever enconntered. His long, tangled hair, his hideous features, his wretched garb, his dirty complexion, his black, bloodshot eyes, all gave him a most repulsive aspect. His arms for he carried a hunting-knife, a revolver, and a rifle in plain eight gave to his ugly exterior a ferooity that was actually startling, Tbe recognition of the savage having been thus completed, Kit turned his glances upon the object the savage was holding upon the pony in front of him. The object, as Kit had said, was a white Iranian, or rather a white girl. Her long, fair hair was dishevelled, Hying wildly about her shoulders and half hiding her face, but it could be seen that her features were deathly pale, and scratched and bleeding in places, as if she had been struggling terribly with her captor. That she was a captive Kit instantly knew by the fact that her hands were tied behind her, and he next saw that she was not sleeping, as he had at first supposed nor dead, as he had for an instant feared but that she was in a death-like swoon ! Ignorant of the gaze bent upon him, the half-breed, whose arm still encircled the slight figure, pushed away the dishevelled hair from the pallid features, that he might look upon them. For a moment he seemed fascinated with the view of the pale, fair countenance, so rarely beautiful, even in its death-like rigid ity, and then he bent his head and kissed the half-parted hps, not once merely, but again and again ! "This tires me out," said Kit to himself. "I must change my position a little just enough to get the girl's head out of line and then" At this instant, and just as the soot began moving into the desired range, the half-breed ionriAnpil fn lnnlc bavnnd t.liA fnnA of ha nnn. "l't' j 1 tive to the ground, wnen 111s eyes enooun- . ' a xi-- m. i i-r. i lr : 1. . In another instant he had detected Carson's presence. "It's you, eh, Mr. Fleet Foot ?" called the scout. The savage was silent. "I see it is you," added the scout. "Who is that with you 'i" "My new squaw," was the answer. "Hold on a minute, Mr. Fleet Foot," said the scbut. "What more ?" was the response. "I know that this young lady is not going willingly to the country of Fleet Foot," con tinued the scout, with calm energy. "I know that she has been stolen, and it is in vain for Fleet Foot to say that she is his squaw." "Well, what then?" was all the savage deigned to answer. "The case is just this," continued Carson. "You will have to delivor the girl up to me, that I may take her back to her people." """That I will never do." rejoined the half breed, bluntly. "This girl is nothing to you, nor have you any cluim upon me. Why Bhould we quarrel ? I am as much a white man as a red-skin, and the young lady might have a worse fate than to become my wife, even if she beoomes my wife unwillingly. There is no possible call for you to interfere with me. The course for you to take, Mr. Carson, is to go your own way and mind vour own business, and leave me to mine." As he ceased speaking he uttered a wild crv of command to Ms pony, wnicn in stantly bounded away to the southward at full gallop. The scout raised his rifle. The fiuure of the miscreant was now fully uncovered, presenting a fair mark, but Kit was compelled to realize, in view of the bounding motions of the pony, that he could not fire upon the desperate villain without the createst risk of lulling the captive. ''The accursed trash'." he eiaculated, his long-repressed wrath breaking forth. "Were it not for sacrificing the girl But I can at . least pursue bini!" He struck bis horse sharply with his heels, ' find the animal bounded away at the top of his speed. It was a lng time before the chase thus begun showed which horse could make the .best time. The pony was carrying the most , 'weight, but he was much fresher than the ) scout's horse, so that the one circumstance '. for a time counterbalanced the other. At .length, however, the increased weight told 'upon the pony. The scout commenced ruining. , "I sholl catch him, muttered Kit, agfun speaking under his breath. "Ho can I save -the girl from his desperation ?" At this moment a wild cry of dismay burst from the fugitive. J m.t bbfoit huu, not tea rod JLiUat, hd Lad marked a deep and abrupt depression in the plain, the bed of one of thoRe creeks so numerous in that region. As quick as lightning, tho hunted misoroant bnd comprehended that ho could not cross this creek at that furious pace, the doprns sion being too wide for a Hying leap. lie had bIro comprehended that he could not stop the pony's wild pace in soason to avoid it. The scout sow all this too, and smiled grimly as ho reulized that a tumble wad in evitable. It was in vain that the half-breed, reduced to one hand, pulled upon the reins, sawinz and jerking the pony's mouth. The animal would neiiher turn nor stop, and in another instant had hurled himself into tho abrupt abjss, actually turning a somersault in the ftir, and sending lleet Foot and tho girl Hying through space to the opposite slope of the crei-k. At that same moment, as it Roeraed, the scout threw his horse bank upon his haunches at the very edge of tho creek, and slipped from his saddle, revolver in hand. "1 have you now, Fleet Foot !" he shouted. lenping towards the prostrate savage. liut, as terrible as nail been the shook, as quick as had been the scout's movements, t lie hall-breed had gathered himself up from the duht in which he had been rolled: had sought and found his unoouscious captive; iaa aruwn nis nuge nunting-knue and re viver; had placed himself in a double posture of assault and defense beside the motionless figure; and thus, at the instant of Kit's ad vance, he found that the desperate ruffian was still active, still deadly, still undaunted. "Not a step nearer!" was the half-breed's defiant cry, while his face glowed like a fur nace. "1 am still master of the life of this girl, and even of yours. At a touch, at a breath even, I will fire upon von with one hand, whilo I plange this knife into the girl's ncart witn tne otner! I ve said it, and I swear it!" Riveted to the spot he had gained, the scout stood erect, not ten feet distant from the revolver directed at him not ten feet from the knife uplifted above the bosom of the captive and there he remained motionless. not daring to stir, nor even to breathe, lest tne nait-ureea unouia lulnl nis terrible menace. "It was the first and last time," said Kit. in narrating these things afterwards, "that I was ever treed on tie ground" And there the two men stood, thus motion less and silent, thus glaring at each other, with that helpless girl between them ! CHAFTEll II. A DAUGHTER OF THE PLAINS. The strange scene which had arisen between the scout and the savage had a singular termi nation. As Kit, revolver in hand, faced Fleet Foot but without daring to advance a single 6tep, leBt tho unscrupulous wretch should kill the unfortunate girl he was suddenly startled to see that the girl's ayes had opened widely, brightly, and consciously upon him. .before he could move, however before he could even fully realize that the captive was conscious and observant she had passed from under the uplifted hand and murderous knife of the half-breed, and was descending to the bottom of the creek ! At the same instant a wild appeal for help burst from her; "Save me 1 save me !" The swift gleams of lightning do not move quicker than Kit responded to that cry. At a single bound ne was upon tbe half- breed, whom he stretched senseless and bleeding with a furious blow udod, the hoad lrom ms revolver. Thus stricken prostrate and helpless, the miscreant was instantly bound. 'Thank Heaven I then murmured a voice that was singularly musical, despite its into nation of excitement. Kit sprang to the maiden and cut her bonds. Never was seen a fairer, brighter, or sweeter picture of womanhood than that she presented. She was scarcely sixteen, and was even small for her age; but her lithe, lovely figure possessed remarkable strength and agility, and its rare qualities were further enhanced by a soul of the most glorious type. "You have saved my life, Mr. Carson," she immediately added, grasping his hand "saved me from a fate worse than a thousand deaths! I thank you from the depths of my soul, and shall remain your grateful debtor forever !" Thoughts of the dreadful fate from which he had saved her thoughts of the misery that would be spared to her loved ones by her preservation caused the slight figure to sway and tremble, for a moment, like a reed in the blast, and Kit felt tears of joyous gratitude falling upon the hand she had so feelingly imprisoned. "You are not seriously injured ?" he asked. "No, sir. Only a little scared a little turn bled !" "You're a brave girl, I see," said the scout, with a heartiness that showed that her words and bearing had gone to his heart. "Your face seems familiar to me, and I dare say I ought to speak your name as readily as you have spoken mine, but somehow I can't place jou!" "Oh! everybody knows you, Mr. Carson," was the rejoinder. "But with me the case is different. I am too small to be remembered. I must tell you, therefore, that I am Utile Lyon." "Not Colonel Lyon's daughter ? Colonel Lyon of New Mexico '" "Yes, sir. I am Colonel Lyon's daughter!" "What! the very girl who has been at school for a year past in Leavenworth '(" "The very same, Mr. Carson !" At this assurance the countenance of the scout fairly beamed upon Miss Lyon. He again took her hand with a fatherly tender ness. "You'll excuse me, Eflie," he said. "I ought to have remembered you at sight. My excuse is that I am always a wanderer always on the wing; and that a succession of new faces is every day presented to me. There is another excuse, too, Etlio, in your cose: it has been some time sinoe I saw you. The small faco became wreathed with a look of contentment. "And now, to explain matters," continued Kit, glancing at the half-breed's prostrate figure, and perceiving that he was still un conscious. "Tell me your story first." "It is not a long one," began Ellle. "As you seem to be aware, I have been attending school in Leavenworth. It was agreed that father bsould come for me at vacation " "Let me tell you w hy he didn't," interrupted the scout. "He was nearly killed, about the twentieth of June, in an encounter with the redskins, and for tun days lay between life and death." "Father! nearly killed?" faltered Efflo, more disturbed by this news than she had been by her late terrible peril. "And I knew nothing of it!" "But he's out of danger now," resumed Iut. "una will soon be Liuibelf uain." "Cut wby didn't Edgar come for me, father being unable to do so?" asked Efflo, oponing her eyes wide in wonder. "Edgar?" rejoined Kit. "Who is Edgar?" "lies a young gentleman who has been visiting in our family once in a whilo for a year or two past. I mean Edgar Coleman." "Well, as you are an only child, Etlie, I dare say that you are the particular member of your family who is responsible for tho visitH of this young gentleman." "I need not deny it," responded Effie, as a rosy flush swept over her pure cheeks; "but lis father did not come, and as I did not hear from him, I became auxious about him. I feared tlmt he might have fallen into the hands of the Indians. Every day added to this fear, and at last I determined to sot out for home without waiting longer for an ex planation of his non-arrival." "And you did so?" "Yes, sir. I joined a wagon train that was just starting for JSanta Fe, and we cama on safely and pleasautly enough until noon to-day, when, during a brief halt at a cross ing, when everybody was busy, and while I was gathering ilowors along the wooded banks of the creek, this fiendish savage pounced upon me, stilled my cries, bore me to his pony, mounted with me in his arms, and got off unseen by wading up the creek, and keeping to the cover of the bushes on its banks." "The villain!" ejaculated Kit. "lie must have been watching his opportunity!" "He was. It turns out that he saw mo in Lcnvenworth, beforo the train started, and that he has been hovering' about it ever since, watchingyfor a chance to seize mo. Ho told me so himself." "Do you know who and what he is ?" "Only so far as I have seen with my own eyes that he is a half-breed, and a terrible villain." "I can tell yon something about him. He is called Fleet Foot, and his reputation is well worthy of his name. I do not pretend to keep the run of many of his species; in fact, I have trouble to tell one red-skin from another, so far as the generality of them is concerned; but this fellow has chanced to be brought to my notice occasionally for several years, and I have never heard of him anything but evil. As he never follows any business, it's likely that he gets his living by taking it wherever he can find it." "He's a thorough demon," affirmed Effie. "He talked love to you, I suppose?" "Yes; and at last, to save himself trouble, he tried to bind my hands behind me, and then came such a desperate struggle that I at length fainted. This must have been an hour since, or just before you saw me!" "He has scratched and bruised your face, I see." "Well, he got about as much as ho gave me," said the little heroine coolly. "You have torn your sacquo and dress, I see, in several places, and soiled them." "And lost my hat altogether. Bnt I can tie a handkerchief over my head, and the rest does not matter." "Well, Effie, you can travel, anyhow !" ex claimed the scout admiringly. "I am glad to see yon take your awkward adventure so coolly. But tell me where it was that you began to recover your senses to know where you was?" "It was just before the red-skin undertook to run away from you I hope you didn't think I was unconscious all that time. I knew a thing or two, you may be Bare. I must have groaned some in coming to, but the red-skin was too busy with you to notice it. At last, when I realized all that was going on, and recognized you that was when you and he were talking so earnestly I knew enough to feign unconsciousness and watch for a chance of deliverance. When we tumbled into the creek, I fell upon the red skin, as good luck would have it, and didn't get so much of a shock as I expected. And this is the whole story." "I'm glad you fared no worse," commented Kit. "And now for our prisoner. I never kill a red-skin in that helpless condition, un less the guiltiness of blood is fresh upon him. It is our duty, however, to extract the rep tile's fangs in other words, disarm him !" He suited the action to the word, adding: "I w ill carry away his weapons, of course, a mile or two, and then hide them in some place where he will not bo likely to find them." "Then you will give him his liberty? It would not do, I suppose, to leave him where he is ?" "No, Effie. Some of his four-legged rela tives the wolves would come and eat him before morning." "His pony has vanished." "Yes. He is doubtless miles away by this time." "Then the redskin will have to continue his journey on foot ?" Kit untied his hands, but tied his feet, and left him, Effie remarking: "In that way we shall get a good start of hiui." "That's the idea," rejoined Kit. Then the couple resumed their journey. The scout was well acquainted with an houest rancheman named Woodbury, who lived on the Arkansas, about ten miles from tho scene of this adventure, and they started tor it. Conversing pleasently by the way, the couple rode forward at a fair pace, Eflie knowing no fear by reason of the scout's presence, and Kit knowing none by reason of his matchless ability and experience. Tho sun was just setting when tho couple, after a long and wearying ride, come in sight of the ranche they were seeking. "There it is," said the scout, indicating a dark obiect on the distant horizon. The travellers had now arrived near enough to the ranche to see its outlines distinctly, and accordingly fixed their attention upon it. "The door is closed," observed Kit, as the couple rode nearer, "and bo are the windows. But the proprietor is as brave as the bravest, as you may know by the fact of his living here, l daro say no mis seen us upproaca infi." As they advanced still nearer to the lonely ranche, they noticed that a strange air of desolation pervaded the premises. Not a sign of life was visible, and the littlo gardwu in closing the house had been given up to weeds. "This is odd!" muttered Kit, "Mr. Wood bury had a very beautiful garden when I was here lust summer. But I now see no stock, no siens of occupancy whatever." "He may have moved away," suggested Eflio, "and a different sort of man may now Lave possession ot tne place. "That's so; or the red-skins may have killed him," returned Kit, over whose face had oome a sudden shadow. "I'm not pleased with the looks of the thing, anyhow! The house itself has cone to the dogs since I was here. It's rather late to retreat, however," he added. looking up at the sky, out of which the light . r 1 ill. .1 i a . oi day was iauiug, wnu iuo uurujituena pecu liar to the plains. "Now that we are here, we may as well make a call. In ten minutes it will be dark, and we'll do well to be prompt in our observations ana inquiries. By this tiiiio tho traveller j wora within a few rod of the stone wall protecting the door way of the rancho, and here Kit drew rein, , , , . ... 7 iooKing Kuarpiy about mm. "Tho place looks more and more dosorted." he said to Eflie, in a low tone. "I do not fcee so much as a dog. Just sit where you are, Eflie, while I step to the door." CHAPTER III. THK IUXCHE A HUItritlsn. Dismounting, the soout made his way cau tiously to the entrance of the houso, and then, seeing no one, into the dwelling itself. finding the door unfastened. In the course of a minute he roturned to his ywung companion. "inere is no one here, he announced, "l'eihops the late conduct of the redskins. of which we were speaking, has frightonod Mr. Woodbury away ?" .hit snook his head. "Mr. Woodbury has not been here latelv." he asserted. "There hasn't boon a stroke of work done on the place this suiamor. " "lie may have gone awnv last fall. then. and not have returned." The scout again shook his head. "I fear your former sutrcrostion is the true one," he reuinrked. "Namely, that the Indians have killed him ?" "Yes. The door is full of bullets, and the ttirf walls are burnt and smoked in places as if the redskins had fired into them at short range. I fear Mr. Woodbury has been killed!" lias tlie House been ravaged? "No. Everything appears as Mr. Wood bury would have naturally left it; only in a disordered state. The furniture is here, such as it was, the dishes, the household stuff of every description, but everything is dirty, damaged, and going to pieces. I'll tell von just what I think, which is that somebody cas Kinea jir. woououry, ana tnat tms some body nas taken possession! "is tnere any sign of that somebody havmcr been here lately?" "les. l cannot say how lately, but I should say within a day or two. although the hearth is perfectly cold. There is a pail of w ater in tne pantry, part of a ham, a bag of corn, a bag of flour, a dish of salt, and va rious other articles of food. There is a bed of skins in each room, which look as if lately occupied." "This is very singular," commented Effie. Mr. Woodbury must have a strange suc cessor. Who can he be ? "I think he's a red-skin !" "And why ?" "Because the lock and bars, which have been burst from the door, have not been re placed. This shows that the occupant is not afraid of the red-skins ! Effie mused a moment upon this unex pected condition of affairs, and then asked: "Well, what shall we do ?" Before replying, the scout looked at his borse searcningly, assuring himself that the animal was very tired. "We'll holt here a little while," he then said; "long enough to take a bite ourselves and allow Dobby to do justice to part of that corn in the pantry," "I shall be glad to rest a while," observed Effie, as Bhe alighted. "I am very tired !" "Naturally enough, after all these adven tures. But a good supper and a good night's rest will bring you out again. Walk in, and make yourself at home. I'll just slip Dobby into the corral, so that he will not stray off in the darkness." They made a fire, and had a coarse, but comfortable meal. "Such a supper, with our hunger, is better than a feast without appetite," romarked Effie "I don't know why we shouldn't put up at this hotel until morning," observed Kit. as he also looked contentedly about him. "True, tne landlord is absent, but we can get along without him." "I think the only question is as to whether we can get along with him, if he should chance to return during the night." "Ill answer tor that contingency. On the whole, I think we will do well to stay here until morning. There's a room for each of us, and plenty of buffalo robes to make us comfortable. As he spoke he laid some more wood upon the fire, to light up the interior of the rancho. and a bright body of flames almost instantly J,, i i i.i -t i i. . . muminaieu ine scene arouua mm as penecuy as it could have been illuminated by the son at midday. "Look at that!" suddenly cried Effie, In a startled whisper, as she leaped to her foet. "W hat is that?" "What? Where?" demanded the soout. "That writing, in red letters, upon tho wall behind us!" exclaimed kMiss Lyon, the blood receding from her face, while her form shook violently. Bhe pointed to the wall opposite the fire place the wall upon which those ruddy Haines shone so vividly and there the scout beheld several lines of coarse and; irregular writing, evidently the work of a human finger, w hich had again and again been dipped in blood. This terrible revelation was aa follows: "I am attacked, this 10th of March, by Fleet Foot and a dozen others. Already terribly wounded. Expect to go under, as the door can't hold out much longer. "John Woodbtjby." It was a message from the dead ! The mystery of poor Woodbury 'b fate stood terribly revealed. In his last moments, mortally wounded, he had written with his finger, and with hia own blood, that fearful message. Before the scout and his companion could withdraw their gazo from that dreadful re velation, they were further startled by sounds that ciiuie to their hearing from without the I mi tbo. Then their eyes met. "I hear footsteps !" murmured Effie. "And voices also!" replied Carson. At the frame instant a dog was heard snuffing at the entrance of the ranche. Then the dog began barking furiously, whilo the Hound of hurried footsteps arose in front f the door! The scont and his companion woro Btartled. Their minds were ro full of the terrible fate which had overtaken the former occu pant of the rnncho, po'or Mr. Woodbury, as revealed by that st range writiing on the wall, that they could think of nothing but red- bl.lEH. The approaching footsteps became louder. "Who can thty be '(" whispered EOie. "In dium?" "Wo shall soon Bee," was Kit's answer.
