A LIFE GLORIOUSLY STA/IED.
Towards the aose of a beautiful day
in June, 1867, a man and woman, mount
ed upon fleet horses, camp galloping over
one of the great plains of \ the West, and
drew.tein in the shade of a clump of cot:
ton-woods upon the 'bank of \ a,beautiful
river. They bad ridden far and ' , rapidly.
Their steeds were panting, and covered
with sweat and foam. \ •
"We must_ give the - horses a breathing
spell," said the former, slipping to the \
ground; and his companion nodded a
graceful assent as she followed 'his ex
ample.
The couple were evidently father and
daughter.
The man was in the prime of life, hale
and hearty, with a large frame, which was
sinewy and athletic, without ceasing to be
refined and prepossessing. He had - the
keen, shrewd look peculiar to-the advance
guards of civilization, and there was an
honest, frank 'expression on his sun
browned- face that proclaimed his integ
rity and courage. •
In her way, his daughter was equally
picturesque and attractive.
In the early flush of womanhood, with
a pure, sweet, and tender face, with eyes
darkly glowing, with coral-tinted lips,
and cheeks softly flushed with the hue of
,the rose, with amber curls floating be
hind herV,she was as graceful as a gazelle,
as light-hearted as a bird, as lovely as a
flower, and as spirited as an untamed an
telope.
The stream by, which the couple had
halted was Wood river, a branch of the
Platte, is Nebraska, at a point fifty miles
northwest of Fort Kearny. '
"Are you tired, Miriam?" asked the
htinter,-Gmrge Dane, with fatherly solid=
lade.
"Tirisd, father?" rejoined the maiden,
• - with a happy laugh. "Oh, no. How
qtfould I .be tired after a day like this?
Every minute has been filled with pleas
ure and excitement. I feel as fresh as
_yonder bird." ,
The father - smiled understandingly,
with a look full of the fondest affection.
"I eau guess , the cause of your light
ness of heart," said he, smilingly. "The
return, now daily expected, of .a certain
Hubert Earle, from the mines of. Idaho,
may account, I suspect, for your present
sladness."
A heightened color appeared on Mir
iam's face, for the name mentioned was
that of her lover. She answered the
_glances of hei father, however, with a
frankness that attested'his entire sympa
thy with her, and said: .
"True, father, my heart has been un
usually light for several days past. How
could it be otherwise, since I know that
Hubert is coming?"
Mr. Dane did not , reply. He waslook
ing. with kindling eyes; over the fair
flower-dotted plain, and his next remark
showed how wildly his thoughts bad
strayed.
"I wonder what mother has been do
ing without us all day, Miriam. She
must be lonely- with no one to speak to
or share her meals. I shouldn't wonder.
if we could see oar home from this point,"
.and his face lighted up with a soulful
glow. "Our cottage is not more than
:.seven miles distant; let me sea"
He drew fresn his coat a pocket-glass,
adjusted it to his eight, pointint it to a
northerly direction, and gazed through
it long and earnestly, towards his ranche
upon Carrey's Fork.
"Yes,l see it," he said at last, with a
long, deep, and joyful inspiration, as if
the sight refreshed him m every nerve.
"There is our cottage, as plain as day.
I can even see the vines you planted be
fore the the windows, Miriam. And
there, on the grape-vine bench under the
big elm, sits your mother, busy at her
sewing. Bless her! She does not
imagine we are looking at her. Look,
Miriam."
. He yielded the instrument to his daugh- I
ter, .who obeyedtis injunction, her love
ly face glowing with smiles as she regard
ed the distant home-scene. .
"Dear mother !" she murmured. "It
is a treat to her to be able to sit out under
the trees without fear of molestation.
-There are no hostile Indians hereabouts
now—are there, father?"
"No. Red Knife as you have already
heard, was killed yesterday by a settler,
and his band has retreated towards the
mountains. I will confess, Miriam, that
during all the time we have been in the
West, I have not felt so light hearted and
earafree as since we received the news
of Red Knife's death. You have, just
seen how this joy bubbles over in me.
Red - Knife was a demon rather than a
savage."
Miriam shuddered, rind her features
even paled at the memory of the Indian
mentioned. -
"He never spared apaleface,"she said,
striving to speak calmly. "Desolation
and cruelty marked his path. For more
than three years he has raged to and fro
upon the plains like a ravening wolf. He
was the terror of the border."
"You have named him appronrialely,
Miriam," said the hunter. __."fie had a
'fiendish hatred of the white race, and his
victims have been many."
•
Mr. Dane held out his hand for the glass,
and Siam was in the act of restoring
.it, when a strange_, gasping, Panting
sound startled them bOh, and sent them
‹ulehtT tu their saddles.

The hunter shook his head, % c u min .

Suddenly, as the man showed a ha t ,„

tenant* broke into a' smile, and he cried
"Hallo ! Is that you, Thompson? Do
you take us for Indians, that yon• skulk
there in the bushes ?
The individual addressed was silent for
a full minute, as it seemed, from sheer
amazement; then he sprang out from his
hiding-place with a cry of - relief, and ad
vanced 'swiftly toward the father and
daughter.
He was a man of middle age, of the
ordinary type of backwoodsmen, strong
and brown and stalwart, of the rude,
rough type that seems to belong to the
border. His face was haggard and white,
although covered with perspiration. His
breath came through his parted lips in
quick, • uneven ,gasps. He had run far
and swiftly, and looked as if about to
drop from fatigue.
• "What has happened, Thompson?"
asked Dane, with keen anxiety, the man's
singular appearance giving him a sudden
shock of alarm.
"The Indians!" gasped Thompson,
scarcely able to - command his voice.
"They are coming! Red Knife and his
band—divided—my wife—my children!
\Help me! Help men'
\"What talk is this?" cried Dane, agi.
ta-..d in spite of his efforts at self-control.
"Red Knife was killed yesterday—"
"He \was only wounded," interrupted
Thompion. "He is coming to take his
vengeanc&on us settlers. He has divided
his band ineo \ two. They were up at the
Deer Fork this morning, and are now
coming this way\ The points to be struck
are your house and mine. 7 ' •
"My God!" ejacidated Dane,
as his in

"A horse! a horse!" cried Thompson,
reeling with fatigue. "Iran go no far
ther on foot. My wife, m \children—
GO pity and save them!"
He lookedfrom the hunter to MS \daugh
ter in agonized and mute supplication.
Dane snatchedthe glass from Miriam's
hands and placed it to his eyes,
He looked to the northward—saw his •
pretty cottage, his wife busy at her needle
sunder the trees—and glanced at the dim
line•of the horizon siretching away east-
ward and westward from his home.
Suddenly the glass dropped from his
hands—his face blanched to the hue of
snow. From the west, seeming to emerge.
from thq clouds of scarlet and gold, he
had beheld a band of mounted Indians
riding boldly towards that unprotected
home, towards that unconscious and help-
Ws woman.
With a frenzied cry, he put spurs to his
hone r and dashed away like a madman,
shouting to his daughter to follow him; at
the same instant Thompson staggered for
ward and fell in the maiden's path, hold
ing up his hands in anguish.
"My wife! my children!" he groaned.
There was no hesitation in the soul of
the brave Miriam.

depending on him." she said aloud.
As she spoke she leaped from her saddle,
and, with a gesture, commanded him to,
take her place.
"But—your danger!" faltered Thomp
son. "The Indians—"
Miriam again pointed to the saddle.
"Go," she commanded. "Think only
of your family and begone !"
Still Thompson hesitated, sweeping the
horizon with eager glances, to_ assure
himself that no immediate danger threat
ened, A. change came over his face as
he looked, and he uttered a wild 'cry,
catching sip the glass Mr. Dane had let
fall. and looking through it.
The sight he beheld convulsed him
with terror.
Not a rustle away, to the west, he saw
coming over a ridge in the plain, and
approaching rapidly, a considerable body
of mounted savages.
"They're coining—a band of red-skins
-directly towards us!" he gasped. "Ira
lost! Fly, Miriam, while you have the
the time.
The maiden took the glass and gazed
through it an instant at the approaching
foe. A. strange light appeared in her
eyes—a light possessed only by those up.
on whom GOD has bestowed _conscious
ness of His great protection—the light, of
a heroism which death itself cannot mas
ter;
"Sure enough," she murmured, "They
are coming! The leader is Red Knife.
Go,neighbor Thompson—on the instant!"
"We can ride together!" cried Thmop
sou.
"No! The horse is tired. We have
been to Wi llow Island. We shodld be
overtaken before we hdd gonetwo miles."
"Then we'll die together!"
No! no! `Yen must mount."
With a grasp so sudden and firm that
it startled him, the maiden pushed him
towards the horse, and in another instant
he found himself, more by instinct than
by thought, seated in the saddle.
"Away, &Um!" cried Miriam to her
steed, with an imperative gesture.
"Away l"
The horse broke furiously over the
plain, giving Thompson only time enough
to flash a look of gratitude towards the
maiden, as he dashed away to the north
east, towards his menaced bathe.
A moment later, Mr. Dane looked over
his shoulder—took in at a glance the sit
uation of affairs, recognizing the peril as
well as the heroism of his child—bowed
his head solemnly, as one submits to the
inevitable, in approbation of her conduct,
and then he swept on to the rescue of his
wife, his - soul torn by such emotions as
are seldom brought to battle together.
And Miriam, throwing herself flat upon
the ground, - remained alone upon the
plain, in the very path of a score of
mounted Indians, who were galloping to
wards her with the swiftness of the wind!
CHAPTER 11
A CURIOUS AND STARTLING MYSTERY.
Skirting the Black Hills, forty miles
west of Fort Laraznie, a party of horse
men were riding eastward.
They had left Fort Bridger eight days
before, taking the route of the North
Platte;and were n o w , following the Ore
,
gca ,emliprant road, among. those long
ridges, • dry beds of, rivers, and sterile
plains, b i t :which the region of the, Black
Hills is distinguished: .
The bulk or the party consisted of ten
cavalrymen, under a lieutenant,who were
'returning, to Fort Laramie, their post of
duty. They were well mounted, and had
several led horses in, theirtrain loaded
with their provisions and appurt enances
oi travel.
The balance' of the - party comprised
three civilians, who had seized the oppor
tunity of crossing the mountains under
military escort. Two or these were em
igrants who bad settled near ,Fort Bridg
er, but who had tired of the great eel•
itude, or been frightened by the Indiars,
and were now returning eastward in
.P=BPOTI,6I2,
- - air(
o omes neare
The third civilian was Hubert Earle,
The' lover of Miriam Dane, the settler's
daughter, whom wehave just left in such
deadly peril. •
He was a splendid specimen of Ameri
can manhood, magnificently formed, broad
shouldered, deep chested, as vigorous as
an athlete, and rode his horse, a fiery
Mexican steed, with the grace and ease of
a Centaur.
At the moment "bf his introduction to
the reader. be was riding in the rear of
the little train, busy with his own reflec
tions, which were , evidently-as bright as
the morning itself—the forenoon preced
ing the events we have recorded.
His thoughts were wrapt in the sweet
memory of Miriam, who had wept so bit
terly at his departure, and who, he ex
pected, would smile so joyously at his re
turn.
"The dear little soul!" he murmured
aloud. "Where is she now?"
His eyes darkened with tender sweet
ness, his lips quivered with the ineffable
love that flooded his being with a happi
ness akin to• pain. He pictured their
meeting, the pretty home they would
share together, the years they would
spend in.each other's society, the tender
mutual love and care that would bless all
their coming days.
He had left her, a poor adventurer, to
seek his fortune among the mines of Ida
ho. He was returning to her a more than
moderately rich man, with bills of ex
change in his chamois money-belt of suf.
ficient value to support them both in lux
ury as long as.they 'both might live.
It was not to be wondered at that his
thoughts were pleasant.
Suddenly he was aroused from his
trance-like silence, by cries of delight
from his companions, and by the fact that
they had checked their speed.
Looking around him quickly, hcbeheld
the cause of the unusual excitement. To
the southward, at no great distance, a
small herd of buffaloes was grazing lazily,
seemingly not at all-alarmed by the near
presence of a formidable enemy.
\ The wind was blowing from them, the
hems were fresh, and, as he 100% ed at the
tempting game, Hubert felt the spirit of
the hunter grow strong within him.
Giving rein to his horse, he galloped
along the line to • speak to the lieutenant,
but was met half way by that officer,
whose sparkling eyes and eager demean
or attested to a \kindling of Nimrod-like
zeaL \
"What do you say to an hour's sport,
Mr. Earle?" shouted The lieutenant, as he
bore down upon his frLend, for Hubert
was a decided favorite with every mein.
ber of the party.
"I thiniit Would be a dowinight shame
to turn our backs oft such splendktgame,"
was the quick response. "Who uld eat
a dinner of salt pork, with those to buf
falcies so near us?"
The lieutenant smiled, glanced ifp and
down the line, reading eager longing in
the faces of his men, and resolved to car
ry out his own and the general desire.
At a word of command from him, the
party set out at a quick gallop for the
scene of action.
The Buffalue.-; allowed the enemy to
approach quite near, the wind favoring
the hunters; but at length began to snuff
the air uneasily, to shake their heads, and
to look for the cause of their apprehen
sions.
Inoment later they. had beheld the
enemy, and with frightful bellowings and
mighty tramp, had begun their wild, mad
flight to the southward-
The chase was a long one, and it was
not till the hunters had run the buffaloes
upon a spur of the Black Hills that they
gat a good chance at them. They then
brought down several plump young buf
faloes, and dinner speedily became the
watchword.
'•lt is noon, and we'll have dinner,"
said the lieutenant, observing that the
baggage animals with their drivers, were
approaching. "Kindle a fire, boys, and
we'll have steaks and roasts in abund
ance." .
While this order was being carried in
to effect, Hubert and several others were
engaged in surveying the scene.
"A lonely and desolate spot," said
Hubert, thoughtfully. It looks as if man
had never before visited it."
"And no wonder," returned Brydges,
"since it's five miles off the route.
What could any man want here, uniesi he
might be in pursuit of buffaloes ?"
There being no answer to this question,
Hubert proceeded to find an excellent
grazing spot for his horse tethered
him, and flung himself on the ground,
in the shadow of tke hill. The lieu
tenant and .a portion of the men followed
his example.
Plenty of , low bushes were found dry
enfiiigh to burn, and several fires were
soon kindled. The choicest portions of
tke buffaloes were readily prepared_ for
cooking, and it was not long before the
odor of burning flesh was diffused on the
air, four or five hungry soldiers serving as
cooks.
It was a wild picnic scene on those
lonely wilds, and every man there en
joyed it with true gipsy zest.
Suddenly a shout from oae of the mea
who were strolling around, arrested the
attention of the others. .
"Hallo, boys I" he cried. "I'm blest
if here isn't a cave in the hill I Come, see
the hole under these bushes. You
never saw anything hidden neater in your
lives."
"Jones thinks nobody ever saw a
cage before," said on of the loungers.
"For my part, I would think more of
something 'to 6at, than of a hole in the
ground."
Thisttiment was echoed by the
others, b the inquisitive cave discoverer,
_nothing daunted, approached the fire,
took from it a torch, returned to the
butte, parted the bushes, revealing a dark
aperture in the face of the rock, and dis
appeared within it, his light giving back a
yellow.glare for a second after he had
ceased to be seen.
The camp revely Went On, the cooking
progressed, the minutes passed, and Jones
did not reappear.
"If that fellow had found a .gold mine
in - there' he wouldn't call one of us,"
growled' the lounger who had before
spoken. "I wender what' Jones has
found. I'll jest take a look, as dinner
isn't ready.
He arose lazily, abstracted a stick of
burning wood for Et torch, proceeded to
the cavern entrance, and disappeared frill
"Probably," said Hubert, "there's a
large cavern in that hill. Tinder the
present circtudgances, I am like Brown,
and prefer my dinner to scientific explor
ations."'
The meal seemed to be nearly ready,
for the rattling of tin cups and dishes
began to be heard ; the lieutenant's
small camp-chest was unpacked, and

to dinner
"Have Jones and• Brown come
back ?" asked the lieutenant, as he rose to
a sitting position, and glanced to wards the
cavern.
The men replied in the negative.
"Go after them then, King, and hurry
them up," said the officer. "We must
resume the march after dinner, and can
not afford to waste time here.y
King, a fine young soldier, ttok a torch,
and entered the cave.
The dinner was dealt • out—hot savory
steaks and roasts--the coffee measured, and
the meal commPnced, !ott• none of the
men who had entered the cave made their
appearance.
"How singular !" ejaculated Brydges
testily and impatiently. "What can keep
those men ! King had been gone ten
minutes. Here, Sergeant Halsey, hurry
those men up !"
The sergeant, a brown, strong man of
middle age, hesitated and ventured to
stammer :
"I beg your pardor, Lieutenant, but I
think there's something wrong inside the
cave. There's three men in there—ull
hungry and knowing that dinner's ready.
Surely they'd come back if they could.
Perhaps there's wild beasts, or some
strange kind of gas that smothers 'em,
or—"
"Nonsense, Sergeant!" interrupted the
lieutenant frowning "I give you five
minutes to bring those men back, Go !"
The sergeant's face paled, but, withbut
another word; he took up a torch and
entered the cave, disappearing from the
gaze of his friends.
The minutes passed, the lieutenant and
the men ate their dinner mechanically,
awaiting anxiously the expected - return ;
yet none of the four came back. '
The words of the sergeant had made a
deep impression on the minds of his hear
\ers. A general gloom fell upon the camp,
and the men cast frequent and fearful
glances in the direction of the cavern.,
Even the lieutenant and Hubert felt a
strange depression creeping over them,
which neither could resist.
"What can be the matter?" at length
demanded the officer. "The sergeant's
in trouble, I should judge, by this long
absence. There can't be gas in the cave,
or if so, he would probably have had
time to cry out. There can't be wild
beasts, for those four, men were all well
armed, and would at least have fired.
Which of all you men will go into the
cave and learn what the matter is ?" •
There was a general shrinking back.
Every soldier was brave in an Indian
fight, but not ono dared to face a myste
rious ann unknown danger. Not one
wished to risk the complete and totaldis
appearance from earth and human knowl
edge that bad befallen his comrades.
"Whoever will venture in search i of
the missing men shall receive from me a
hundred dollars in gold!" excla'med Hu--
bert, in his clear, ringing tones. "Who
..Itti first for the money?"
\The offer was tempting; but it was not
acdrd. Not a work of reply was made
to it. ,
Hubert hesitated, giving a brief thought,
to Miriarb, his loved and waiting Miriam!
His face the glowed with a heroic light,
and he said, i tones that did not falter:
"I will go in earth or the men„Lien
tenant Brydges. nly, your party is now
small, and if I do n t return in twenty
minutes, you may res a your journey."
"But, Earle," exposthktted the Lieu
tenant, "this is positive madness. You
must not risk your life. We will wait
awhile, and if the men do not turn, we
will move on!"
"They may need help," replie Hu
bert, steadily. .."They may have enc urt.
tered—well, God's knows what, Ic. 't
imagine. If I fire my rifle, come to me.
If I fail to return within the time appoin
ted, move on."
He went up to the neatest Eire, picked
up a blazing stick, arranged hls rifle for
instant use. approached the 'inouth of
the cave. peered into it cautiously, and
listened intently for some sound of life
within. -
No sound came. All was as still as
- death within the cavern.
The next instant Hubert had vanish
ed therein.
All was now breathless suspense.
The lieutenant and his men gathered
around to listen for the report of the rifle.
The minutes passed, but it came not.
Five minutes dragged by—ten —fifteen,
and still no sound reached their ears.
They could see a brief space into the cav
ern, by, the light of their own torches,
but nothing but rocky walls and floor
met their gaze.
Twenty minutes were thus passed.
The time was up and Hubert had not re
turned.
The men looked at ale another with
pallid faces. As if turned to stone, they
stood an awestricken group about_the
cavern's mouth„ until the minutes had
more than made up an hour—and still
they lingered.
During this time, they had cleared away
the bushes from the month of the cave.,
They had tiled again and again 'to peer
into the dark depths of the opening, but
could not. The lieutenant had called re
peatedly to Hubert, but received no an
swer. At length he proposed to tie a rope
around his waist and descend into the
sinister abyss, but his men objectedunan
imously.
"What's the use?" asked one. "Thertei
something here that no mortal man can
conquor."
"We can't risk your life, lieutenant,"
said another. "Just think how few there
are of us."
The time continued to drag on.
"At last, when two full hours had
passed, Lieut. Brydes staggered to his
feet, and said:
"This is horrible—terrible beyond ex
pression I We have lost four of our_com
rades and this noble young stranger,
whom I loved as a brother. This fearful
