And one or two actually Joined tho par

lor their fato had been decided.
In tho early part of Juno JII-m living,
ton arrlvrtl at Tort Leavenworth, from
which placo sho was to set out upon tbo
plains with a government train, which
bad been scntas an escort lo an Indian
agent on his way to California.
Tho fort nt this period presented a live
ly pceno. Largo numbers of troops wero
assembled there, ami also wero vlslhlo
Indian subiigeniH, and custom house
clerks, and alnitmt countless varieties of
attache.) and servants, nil floating be
tween tho quartermaster's ofllco ami
their camps, waiting for their transpor
tation or their escort.
This, It will bo borne In mind, was at
tho time of the gold fever In California,
and hundreds of wagons and thousands
of animals wero stretched out upon
the plains receiving their lo.ullng pre
vious to their start. Tho I ramp of
cavalry, the trend of Infantry, tho crack
of tbo teamsters' whips, uml tho hoarse
echoof tlieteamster.s' imprecations wero
dally tableaux of a llfo In camp. And
yet there was no confusion ; tho active,
systcinutlu mind of the quartermaster,
directed and controlled the hetero
geuoous mass of llfo and business, and
it moved onward In regular order and
harmony.
Miss Kviiigton occasioned no little
excitement at Ihufort. llcr fascinating
manneraud boauly of person won from
an enthusiastic clerk I lie title of the
"Ilelloof tho I'lairio." Daring the week
that site remained Iheio her number of
loveis wero considerably increased.
More I ban ono proposed and wero ie-
jected; and otheis wished lo offer them
selves but had not the courage. Final
ly the tiain moved away, and many
were the "last lingering looks" cast
tiller il by llio ic-idotits of tho fort.
The train moved slowly, for it had
not I he heft of management. At Kort
Ki ai ney a shoit pause was made, ami
tho march was then resumed up the
I'lnlle Valley, the rale being less than
iwenly miles a day.
Almost dully ollur parlies were en
cauulired. Some would pass llie gov
ernment o.-cort, ami a few would be
passed j.hul neaily all would stop and
admiie the "lielle of llie I'rnliie,"
wlio.so lame laid now liivome quite ex

At Scotl's Iilulfs, a paityof Cheyen

cil, ami h day -was spent with them
There van .0110 young, handsome, mag-
nllkenlly formed chief, who from the
Hist moment lie laid eyes on Miss Ev
inglon became enamored with her.
Tho chief would sit forhouis, a little
ilislanio liom her, and guzo with the
groutest atiniiraiion into ner eyes, or
watch her active figure mint Intently
w lien she was sewing or willing; but
the sc-oiid she turned her eye upon him,

turn them oil' at some distant object, or
play awkwardly with hii beads and
feather-., anil mnullcnt as much blushing
confusion as a hoy-lover, instead of be

wives.
When tiiu tlmo came for the parties
to separate, the chief called tho leatler
of tho escort aside, and Mild to him,
through his interpreter, that he loved

Inn .liiiit lime llie I rain was on loutu
and the piopo-al of the lovo-strlcken
chief was almost forgotten, kivo when
it was called up for a littlo uiiiusoiu cut.

Tho night following thi nffatr proved
moonless and dark. Tho putty encamp
ed In a sort of valley clo-o to a running
sttcniu ol line water, and within a
grove of coltonwood trees. Just after
the II res were kindled 11 party of three
hunters rode up and asked prrmisdoii
lo encamp wllh tho train. This was
readily grauttd,niid, dismounting fiom
their horse-), they picLetul them on
the etlge of the grove,among the luxuri
ant gums, and then Joined tho party
around tho different camps,
Two of tlieso hunters evidently bo
I Inured to Hint class of men known in
I 11' Wl'st l,s trappers. They wero grlz
.leil,sc.irrt'il, lank, iiiiiscular.keeiieyed,
Inclined lo inorie-eue-s, and exchanging
only occiisIoiihI words with tho mem
bers of the party. The thiid was a
young man, not over twenly-llvo or
th lrtyP bronzed, hut eminently hand
some, genial and frieiiuly with all. His
conversation provud him to bo a 111.111 of
cdia'attoii,and theruwas much comment
e.xelted as to why ho had adopted the
llfo of a hunter and chosen tho rude
uncultivated trappers as his eoinp.tn
Ions, Tho conclusion, in tho majority
of vases, was that ho was a gold-hunter,
who had taken this means uf hunting
the prt clous iiielnls, Whoever he was,
or whatever might have been his object,
1,0 speadlly became a favorilu wlth-.ill,
so prepossessing was his address and
appearance.
He was iiitrcduitd to Miss Kviiigton
In the hitter pint of the evening, and
spent over an hour in chatting with
her. Whether he was inipitsseil as pow
erfully us so inany of his predecessors
by llie charms of th 1 young lady could
not bodccldrd ; but II was palpable to
all that the was very much plcasttl with
him,
There was a freshness and a romantic
merest attaching to tlm jlmuhg unter
which, no doubt, kiivp III tn an umwiial
Interest In the eyes of of young woman
I lo possessed, certainly, a pleasing
tiamo Sydney Chapman.
Tho train were always careful to
guard against tho approach of the In
dians during tho hours of the night.
The wagonn wero formed in 11 circle, in
tho Interior of which wero placed tho
horses, to prevent a stampede during
the confusion of an attack and as near
the centre ns possible were placed the
women and children, tills belli'; unques
tionably the most Inacco-slhlft position,
Tho uunl gmrd wero stationed on
this night. Tho trappeis, who, without
doubt, wero best qiiallflrid to speak, nf.
firmed that they had seen 110 "sign"
during thoday and they lay down t.car
one of thobnggago wagons and joined
the lest 111 slumber.
In tho course of an hour a profound
stillness settled over the camp. The
Ores smoldered, and tho hum.m beings
wero all asleep, except thepicket.s,?ome
of whom, dreaming of no danger, were
lilllo better than so many sleepers.
It was not far from midnight when a
shadowy form came stealing up tho bed
of llio brook. So sleallhlly, and pan-
thtr-liko wero lis movements that not
single seiitine! observed It. It resem
bled sonio slow-moving reptl'e prone
upon tho ground icarcoly able to drag
Itself along.
Hut if slowly, it surely nppioached
tho limber where tho omigrauts lay
sleeping. When In lite dense gloom of
the decs it raised quietly lo Its feet,
and then llie most siiprrllcltil observer
would have seen that It Was an Indian
warrior.
I.iku a shadow tho savat;o moved for
ward. Not a twig knapped under his
feet, and the brtKliinglimbsand under
growth seemed not to stir a breath of
wind. No sleeper could possibly be
awakened by hisappro.'ch, if he should
stop backward ami forward over his
person,
Ho passed under and through the cir
cle of wagons with the celerity and si
lence of a phantom. When on the
edge of tho open space, where smold
ered llio camp-fires antl where the fe
males had arranged their couches for
tin: night, ho paused and looked around.
Tho train, as now i rancd, It should
l'o slated, consisted of two circles of
wagons; an Inner anil an outer one.
The Inner one, which was sspar.itfd
from tho outer by n space of sive.td
yards, was In immediate proximity to
tho camp-llees, and contained, as wu
liavo elrcady stated, the women and
children of tho party.
It was by this circle that the Indian
hulled. lie knew that the prize he
uouKlit was in ope of thoso covered
wagons, but what slrango falallty guld
ed him directly to It is Impossible to
say. Hut tho first ono at which ho hal
ted contained Miss Kvlngion and two
companions.
The savage drew tho curiam aside nud
peered within. Tho light from tho
camp-fires permitted bim Just to (lis
tinguisli llio features of tho sleepers.
How Ids basilisk eyes gleamed when
they rested 011 the beautiful facoof Miss
Kvlngion I Sho was thejowot for whom
he was searching.
He wailed but a momen', ami then,
with tho samo noiseless dexterity, stop
ped up in tho body of the wagon and
placetl ids feet .between the sleeping
itirls. Not ono stirred or showed the
least d'siurbance.
Carefully lifting tho blanket from the
others, be places it so that whi-u ho rais
es Mks Kvin-'ton it shall close around
her. None of the females have reuinv
ed their clothing, so tliero is little fear
of their suffering from the chilly ulglit
air,
Stooping down, tho dusky villain
slides his arm slowly mid cnttloiisly
around the body of our heroine. S
skillfully Is tills done that .ho is scarce
ly distui bed In her sleep, lie then rals
os her from the Uoorof the wagon, and
crouching with Ids burden, steps softly
towards tho rear, sous to doeonil lo tho
ground. How iiiiuivountable! Miss
Kvlngton still sleeps.
It is a dlfllrult task to reach the earth
with tho dexterity andgonlouess which
the savage desires, ami ho Is compelled
lirsttose.it himself on tint Ini.iriU of
llio wagon, let his feet hang down, so
that they nearly touch tho ground, mul
then quietly losllp tlown.
This he accoinpllshi , but It is aa'fim
pHiiled by ajar that causes tho slerper
to open her eyej. One wild look, and
then sho gives utterance to a scream
that echoes sgalii and again through the
grove, and roti,es every being within,
Tho savage darts away with tho speed
of the wind.
Screaming nud struggling, Miss Kv
lngion has comprehended her position
in ait Instant. Slio bites at tho arms of
her captor, endeavors to catch at the
passing limbs, and does verythlng: she
can tn Impede Ills movements. In ono
casoshe grasped a small sapling and
held on with the strength or despera
tion ; but tho savage tore her hand
loose and darted away again.
Tho eonfuion occasioned by the cap
tive's screams lasted Just long enough
to give tho Cheyenne tlmo to escape.
I'asslng a short distance down tho creek
ho camu to where his noblo horso was
waiting, vaulted on his back, and tho
next moment was thundering over tho
prairie.
Tho excitement occasioned hy this da
ring abduction was extreme. Accus
tomed as were many of theso men to
midnight assaults by tho Indians, It re
quired but a few moments for them to
prepare for any demonstration their
enemies might choose lo make
"Miss Kvlngton has been carried off!
Miss Kvlngton has been carried off I"
passed from lip to lip, until nil knew
her sad fate.
The trappers and the leader of tho
cavalry and the principal emigrants
gathered around the central camp-flro,
"What's lobudoiiiif" demanded Mr
Bmlthsoti, the guardian of tho lost one
"Can't do noihlii' to-night," replied
0110 of the trappers.
"Can't you follow their trull ""
"Humph 1 Toller a trail utmtd. tight

"Can we tlo anything In the morn

Now you talk 1 It ain't a bind mat

the prairie, 'Ion lie gets mixed up with
other .Hi I ma Is."
At the llrst dawn of light the pur
suit must bo commenced. I will liber
ally remunerate those who resco tlher."
That Cheyenne is well mounted,"
icplicd ono of tho trappers.
"Cmph! Don't think so know so."
"Do you know their country ?"
"ltcckon so."
"Ho has, no doubt, gonn there, and
os'cn If you loo his trail, we can rescue
her from their village."
"Their country happens to bo all the
land between tho Mississippi and tho
Rocky Mountains,-' remarked tho
young humcr, Chapmpii, nowspcaklng
for tho first tlmo.
"I know the scamps hunt from one
end of tho country lo the oilier, but
then their villages nro located some
where, ntl it is thero you'll bo apt to
find this redskin."
All true, captain," replied Chapman
"hut tho Cheyenne aro liko all their
people; they don't ctkh. You may
find their villages this year on tho Kan
sas and next year on the Yellowstone
Wo found one of their towns flvo hun
dred miles from here last autumn, but
we don't know wlit-io lo look for It to

Then I supposo you must depend
upon tho trail
"Mainly so. I have no fear but what
we can tree the thief sooner llian ho has
any Idea of."
"Aro you well mnuntodV"
Ono of the (raprers now spoke :
"Wo am; if you've any creatures in
these parts that can overhaul us in a
dead chase, all I say i, trot 'em out.
Chapm.in,howsuiriever,isa Icetlo ahead
of us. Hejustgct the wifle.t animal
between sunup and sondown."
"I doubt whether Miss EvingtOn would
prefer any rescuer above liini,"sald the
txpluin, while tho young huu ter showed
very manifestly by his countenance
that he only awaited the opportunity
to tost Ills devotion to her.
How nmny cavalry tlo you wish to

The trappersshook their heads.
"None; ve will manage it our.elvei.'
"I5ut you aro but three, and Ihere
may be fifty or a hundred of them."
"We don't expect to do much tiglilin'
but if there is any to be. done, wo are
r.iady to tlo It. Wo expect to caicum-
vent, or surprise or do something of
that soil."
'All right; you undei'iland the dogs
best, and you canl.ikoyourcholce. You
aro welcome to twenty of my men If
you wish them."
It was hardly gray In the cat when
thothreu butters mounted their horses
and des'.ended tho bed of tho creek. It
required but a few minutes for them o
find tho trail.
Hero's wheio his horso walled for
him," said one of 1 hem, "and hero ho
has mounted and cut."
Tho footprints of tho horso ascended
tho bank, and look a direction straight
across llio prairie, showing that the
Cheyenno had used llie stream merely
as a cover for hit approach to camp.
Looking over llio plain, nothni"; met
their eye but the broad sweep of the
prairie, stretching far away until it
seemed to join wllh the horizon.
"Tliere'i a long hunt before us," said
tho oldest trapper. "That redskin has
put. 1 powerful lot of miles behind bim
3 1 nee he hoisted that girl on his lioise."
"He'll have to halt and reit befora
he's traveled very far."
"Uut he's a line creature to travel
with."
"And sho has to carry a burden. If
I can't overhaul tho fellow with this
mure of mine, I'll knock her in tho
head."
This was said by tho young hunter
Just as they struck off on a gallop across
tho ; ralrle.
The trail nf tho uiniiing horse, as has
been alrivdy statetl, was too palpable to
tho eye to need any scrutiny to follow.
Tho llireo followed It at a swooping
gallop, that left no doubt of the fact
that wheiover tho dusky ledskin ab
ductor might be, his pursuers wero rap
idly lessening the distance between him
and them.
A milo or two's progress, and ono of
ho trappers made the encoiirnging ex
clamation :
"Umphl flood!"
"What Is if."' inquired llio htintei.
"He's traveled purly fast unlit ho

"Never !" exclaimed the old trapper,
emphatically, "Them kiutl of Indians
you read of in bonks, but you don't find
them now-a-days. I used to hear of
such nice, sweet redskins when I was a
boy up in Rhode Island, and I'd liko to
hunt 'cm; but I'vn never found 'em
yet. l"r'nps, Chapman, you have,"
"No sir," laughed tho hitter.
"l"r'aps again, this Chcyeniio is ono
of them, Howsumuvcr I stand ready
to believe it when I sen it, and not
afore."
There was good sense in tho oltl hun
ter's remarks, especially when he said
that as a class tho Indians were' tho
most treacherous peoplu in the world,
and no dependence could bo placed on
tho most solemn pledges any of them
made.
Not until near the middle of tho fore
noon tlid tho party mske thu slightest
hall. Then they reached small stream
uf water, where thoy allowed their ani
mals to drink, anil mudo their own
break fast from the buffalo most wfclch
they hud brought with them,
1 ri quired but u few moments, when
they were again mounted, and under
way.
"Wo are gaining ou thu dog powerful
fast," announced tho old Ir.ipper.wh
words were accepted a authority 111
on such matters.
"Do you think we can overhaul I1I111
to-day V
"Can't tell; shouldn't won dor
though."
Occasionally they saw trains of cm
grants In tliodlstnnco, but their dire,
lion led them away from these, nml
they exchanged not 11 word with ntiv
pcrson besides themselves.
The sun had considerably passed tin
meridian, when a thick clump of trees
was espied In tho south of them. The
older trapper scrutinized it with ills ea
gle eye, antl tho trail shortly turning,
in thit direction lie spoke:
"Shouldn't wonder If tho Cheyenne
Is found there !"
"And why so?"
"He will want to give the gal rest,
and I'll warrant she's smart enough to
makohlm hold up all sho can. This
trail Is powerful fresh along here, anil
the dog ain't far away that's sarlin."
"Do you Imaglno that ho is on tho
look-out for us?"
"There's the trouble. Ho may b.;
and ho'll bo off again before wo cm get
within 1 iflo shot."
Nevertheless, the hunters galloped
steadily forward directly toward tbo
crove.theirgalt increaslngaimost with
out their knowledge. Tho impatient
young Chapman now kept himself at
their head, scarcely seeking to lestrain
his horse, whose long, sweeping 'canter
showed what extraordinary speed he
held In reserve.
Tills manner of approach was main
talned until within a quarter of a mllo
of thu grove, when tho old trapper gave
alow whistle, as a signal to halt.
Tho three came togethcr.nnd checked
their horses sido by side In such a posi
tion that their view commanded tho
grove.
"Sign," said tho lender.
"I see," replied thu other.
"What Is It?" Inquired the young
hunter.
"Umph ! they're thero!"
"Are you sure'.'"
"Don't you see that V"
As he spoke ho raised his eyes, so
that instead of looking at the grove, ho
lo nked over it. Kollowlng the runic dl-
rection,G'liapman perceived a thin, al
most invisible column of smoke raising
almost perpendicularly from the tn i
and dissolving in the clear above. This
was tho "sign" to which tho old trap
per leferred.
"They're thero.-artln," ho added. "The
old fool hasn't seen us coming, though
I don't know but that he may have cut
out on t'other side."
A brief consultation was now held,
and it was concluded to approach the
groTofrom three different directions.
Tho probabilities wero that the I'hey
enno knew nothing of his purjuers.nnd
they were all very hoptfulof completely
surprising him; but it might be tin.
wily redskin was on his guard, and tho
task before them might a-sumo a char
acter unimagined by any of the
three rescuers.
"If he undertakes to run, put straight
after him.and don't give him a chance,'
added tho old trapper. "You have go
tho fu test horso, mid we will follow ur
ter. We'll bo in at death any i.ite."
"I don'l feci so sure as you that bo's
in that grove. It don't look likely that
ho would allow hlmsslf to be approach
ed in this manner."
"You see bo was in the train yester
day. Ho has looked around pretty well
before he made up tits mind to this
pluco of bisines. Ho was'nt ufeard or
them cavalry, and there ain't any emi
grants that are as good as they."
"And wo came in after tho Cheyenne
had gone, and consequently ho don't
know iiothin' about us," added tbo
ond ti upper.
'it makes the thing look more prob
able," rejoined the hun'.er; "but nn In
dian ain't apt to do lin-lnesn in that
manner."
" 'Le-s bo gets In Inn; and th it'll
maUo a to il of any man," said tho old
trapper, wllh an air of disgu-t.
"Hut," persisted Chapman, "tl.ey
say he has got several wives, h, that hi)
must bo Used to it by this time, and
ought to have learned to be cautious,"
"Hut from what I hear this Ii is struck

iiiu three now separated, and begun
approaching tho grove. Tho impatience
of Chapman, as might naluially bo ex
pected, brought him to the wood much
sooner than thu others, Thev seeing

Tho young hunter continued in mi,.
