Pittsburgh GAZITTE has given a modest
but ever loyal band to this great work of
Republican redemption. The editor of
this journal, in !MI, Davin N. Warm,
wrote the first call fee that first County
Republican Convention, and for that
first State Convention. The hour wai,
politically, most gloomy. The Whig
party had practically dissolved, while its
opponents remained organized and every.
where victorious. A dim ray of the dawn;
ing light was caught by a watchful eye,
and taken for guidance through the dark
ness. The idea of a true freedom was only
just dawning upon struggling intellects.
American liberty still involved, to the
conviction of millions, the right to hold ,
three - and a half millions of fellow beings
la chains. _He was a bold man who
spoke fearlessly foe the whole unfolded
truth. Mr. 'White dared to take the re

journal of freedom and for the freedom

outgrowth, expanded and grew until we
see It a great tree overshadowing the con

From;, that hour ever forward, the

statesmanship with which Rossini.

ing, from strictly authentic sources, a se
nes of Colonel Carson's ex - Polls and ad
ventures which occurred In 1867. In the
present record, I have gone back to some
of the great scout's earlier experiences,
namely, to a series of events In which he
figured prominently during the summer
of 1863, and the following winter.
CHAPTER L
THE SCOUT AND ISE SAVAOI.
The afternoon was fine—the Great - Plain
in full verdure. ' •
And Kit Carron, in the midst of this
beauteous solitude, was as happy as the
birds around him.
He was riding eastward on the Santa
Fe /Owe, just east of Fort Lamed, fa
Kanaas.
At length he drew rein.
He had reached an affluent of the Ar
kansas river, and found himself in the
edge of a considerable growth of timber
by which the banks of this affluent were
lined Looking through the openings in
the verdure before him, he saw, halt mile
away, to eastward, a single horseman ap
proaching at an easy pace.
"Whatl" he ejaculated. "The. fellow
must be a red-aktn—more or less red-skin
anyhow. And yet he has %white woman
On the horse before him. What is still
more singular, that white woman' seems
to be aleeping at can this mean?"
Continuing to aWh dvance, the strange
horseman was soon near enough to be
seen with considerable distinctness by the
watcher.
"There's a minkcry here," muttered
Kit, under his breath, his eyes 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 be proceeded t o wa t er
his horse, an Indian pony.
"I know him now," said Kit to him.
self. "It is that Infernal Fleet Foot, the
half breed."
The savage thus designated was one of
the most villainous looking fellows the
scout had ever encountered.
His long, tangled hair, hie hideous
features, his wretched garb, his dirty
complexioe, his black; bloodshot eyes,
all gave him a most repulsive aspect.
His arms=for ho carried a hunting knife,
a revolver,land a rifle, in plain sight-. 1
gave to Manly exterior a ferocity that
was actually startling.
; The recognition of the savage having
been thus I completed, Kit turned his
glances Upon the object the savage was
holding upon the pony In front of him. -
This object, as Kit bad said, was a white
woman, or rather a white girl. Her long,
lair hair was disheveled, flying wildly
about her shoulders and half hiding her
face, bat it'could be seen that her features
were deathly pale,; and scratched
and bleeding in pl aces, as if she
bad been struggling terribly with her
captor. Ttl y tt she was a captive, Kit In.
m
stantly k, by the ht that her hands
were
tied behind her, dhe next saw
that she was not sleeping, as he had at
first supporecl—nor dead, as he had for an
I Instant fested—but that she was in •
' death like swoon I ;
Ignorant 'of the gun ;bent upon him,
the halt-breed, whose arm still encircled
the slight figure, cashed away the dis
bevelled hair from the pallid features,
that he might look upoh them.
For a moment he seemed fascinated
with the view of the pale fair counten
ance, so rarely beautifa even in its
death-like rigidity, and ; then be bent his
head and kissed the half parted lips, not
once merely, but again and again I
"This tires me out,"j said Kit to him
self. "I must change my Position a lit
tle—just enough to get the girl's bead out
of line—and then—"
At this instant and just as the scout
began moving into %desired range, the
half-tweed happene d) p look beyond the
face of his captive to e ground, when
his eyes encountered, the tracks left by
Kit's horse.
In another instant he had detected Car.
KW. presence.
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?"
"My new squaw," was the answer.
"Hold on a minute, Mr. Fleet Foot,'
Id the scout.
"Whitt more?" was the response.
"I know that this young lady is not
going willingly to the country of Fleet
Foot," continued the scout," with calm
energy. "I know that she his been '
stolen and It Is for Fleet Foot to
say th at she is his squaw."
"Well, what then?" was all the same
deigned to answer.
"The CUM is just this," continued Car.
eon, "you will have to deliver the girl
up to me, that I guy take her back to her
people."
"That I never will do" said the half—
breed bluntly.. "This girl is - nothing to
you, nor bare you any claim upon me.
Why should we quarrel? lam u much
a white man as a red akin, and the young
lady might have a worse fate than to be
come my wife, even if she becomes my
wifo unwillingly. There is no possible
call for you to interfere 'with me. The
course for you to take, Mr. Carson, is to
go jour own way, and mind- your own
busLuess, and leave me to mine.
As he ceased speaking he uttered a wild
cry of command to his poney, which in
stantly bounded away to the southwest at
full gallop.
The scout raised his rifle.
The figure of the micrcant wu now
fully uncovered, presenting • fair mark,
but Sit wu compelled to realize, in view
of the bounding motions of the pony,
that ho could not Are upon the desperate
villain without thegmatest risk of killing

"Were if not for sacriacing the girl—
But I can at lent pursue him!"
He wink big horse sharpl y with his
heels, and the animal ho arded away It
the top of his speed.
It was a long 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
li than the scout's hone, so that the one
circumstance for the time counterbalanced
the other. At length, however, the In
creased weight told upon the pony. The
scout commenced gaining.

again speaking order kis breath. "How
can I save the girl from his desperation?"
At this moment a wild cry of dismay

Just boloro him, not ten rods distant,
he had marked a deep and abrupt depress•
ion in the plain, the bed of one of those
creeks so numerous in that region.
As quick as lightning, the hunted mis.
creant bad comprehended that he could
not cross this creek at that furious pace ,
the depression being too wide for a flying
leap. He had also comprehended that
he could cot stop the pony's wild plat In

The scout saw all this too, and smiled
grimly M be realized that a tumble was
inevitable.
It was In vain that the haltbreed, re.
duced to one band, pealed upon the reins,
sawing and jerking the pony's mouth.
The animal would neither tarn nor stop,
and in another instant hadhurled himself
into the abrupt abyss, actually turning a
somersault in the air, and sending Fleet
Foot and the girl fl ying through space
to the opposite slope of the creek.

CHAPTER 11.
,A DAUGHTER OP THE PLAIN%
The strange scene which had arisen
betweeirethe scout and the savage, had a
singular termination. •
As Kit, revolver in bind, faced Fleet
Foot—bin without daring to adVance a
single step, lest the unscrupulous wretch
should kill the unfortunate girl—he was
suddenly startled to see that the girl's
eyes had opened widely, brightly and
consciously upon him I

and vie descending to the bottom of the
creek I •
At the same instant a wild appeal (or
help buret from her:
"fiave-mel save me I" - -
The swift gleams of lightning do not
move quicker than Kit responded to that
cry.
At a single bound ho was' upon the
half-breed„whom he stretched senseless
and bleedifig with a furious blow upon
the head from his revolver. ..
Thus stricken prostrate and helpless,
the miscreant was instantly bound.
"Thabk heaven!" then murmured a
voice that was singularly musical, despite
its intonation of excitement.
__Kit sprang to the maiden and cut her
bonds
Nver was 'seen a fairer, brighter, or
sweeter picture of womanhood than that
shi ' i presented.
ShriTiru 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. I You have saved my life, Mr. Carson."
she immediately added, gemming his hand
—"eased-,me from 4, 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—mused 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 band she had so leelingly impthsoned.
"You are not seriously injured?" he
asked.
"No sir. Only a little scared—a little
tumbled!" -4 .
"You're a breve girl, I 'see," said the
scout, with a heartiness that showed that
her words and bearing had gone to his
heart. 'Your tire seems familiar to me,
and I dare say I paght to :speak your
name as readily as you have spoken mine,
but somehow I can't quite place you!"

."The very same, Mr. C nI"
Auld', assurance the co utterance of
the scout fairly beamed upon Miss Lyon.
He again took her hand wi • fatherly
tenderness.
"You'll excuse me, Effie,' he said, "I
ought to have remembered ou at sight.
My excuse is that I am always a wander.
er—always on the wing, and that a sue.
cession of new faces is every day pre-
anted to me. There is another excuse
too, Mlle, in your case; it hari been some
time since I saw you."
The amalrface became wreathed with a
look of contentment
"And now, to explain) mallets."
continued Kit, glaring at the hair breed's
prostrate figure, and perceiving that ho
was still unconscious,
"Tell me your story firs."' .
"It is not a long one," began Effie.
"As you seem to be aware, I have been
attending school in Leavenworth. It was
agreed that father should come for me at

"Let me tell you why he didn't" inter.
repted the scout. "Ile was nearly killed,
about the twentieth of June, in an en•

"Do you know who-and what he is?"
"Only ao far as I have seen blin with

"I can tell you something about him.
He is called Fleet Foot, and his repute

"You have torn your sacque and drew,

"It was just before the red-akin under

story.'
"I'm glad you fared , no worse," corn*
mented Kit. "And sow for our prisoner.
I never kill a •red-skin in that helpless
condition, unless the iltiness of blood
is fresh ripen him. It in our duty, how
ever, to extract the reptile's (sop—in
other words; disarm him!" •
adding :
He suited the action to the word,
•"I will carry away his weapons, or
course, a mile or two, and then hide them
in some place where ho will not be likely
to find them."
"Then you will give him his liberty?
It would not do, I suppose, to leave him
where he is?"
"No, Ellie. Some of his foie legged
relative the wolves—would come and
eat him before morning."
"His pony" has vanished."
th "Y es.me He is doubtless miles away by

"Then the red-skin will have to con.
Untie his journey on foot?"'
Kit untied his hands, but tied hist feet,
and left luta, Ma remarking:
"In that way we shall get a good start
of him."
"Tbat's the idea," rejoined Kit.
Then the couple resumed their journey.
The scout was well acquainted with an
'honest rancheman named Woodbury,
who lived on the Manias, about ten
miles from the scene of this adaoture,
and they started for It. Conversing
pleruantly lithe way, the couple rode
forward at a fair pace. Me knowing no
fear by rmuon of the stoat's presence,
and Kit knowing none by reaaon of his
matchless ability and experience. -
The sun wee just setting when the
couple, after a long and wearying ride,
came in light of the rancho they were
seeking.
"Thin it is," said the scout, indicating
a dark object on the horizon.
The travelers had now arrived near
enough to the rancho to see its outlines
distinctly, and accordingly fixed their
attention upon It.
"The - door is closed," observed Kit, as
the couple rode nearer, "and so are the
windows. But the proprietor Ef as brave
as the bravest, ea you may know by-the
fact of hie living here. I dare say he has
seen us approaching."
As they advanced still nearer to the
lonely rancho, they noticed that a strange
air of desolation pervaded the premises.
Not a sign of life was visible, and the
little garden enclosing the bowie bad been
given up to weeds.
"This Is odd!' muttered Kit. "Ida
Woodberry had a very beautiful garden
when I was here lest summer. But I
now see no stock, no signs of occupancy
whatever."
"Ile may have moved away," sag-
Rested Effie, "and a different sort of man
may now have possession of the place."
"That's so; or the red skins may have
killed him," returned Kit, over wham
face bad come a sudden shadow. "I'm
not pleased with the looesaf the thing,
any how I Thhhouse Itself has gone to
the dogs since'l was here. It's rather
late to retreat, however," he added,
looking up at the sky, out of which the
light of day was fading, with the abrupt.
nest peculiar 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 ohsernstione
and inquiries.'
By this time the travelers were within
a few rods of the stone wall protecting
the door. way of the ranche, and here Eft
drew rein, looking sharply about him.
"The place looks more and more de.
sorted," he said to Effie. In a low tone.
"I do nos see so much as a dog: Just
sit where you are, Ellie, while I. step to
the door."
CHAPTER ILL

Dismounting, the scout made his way
cautiously to the entrance of the house,
and then, seeing no one, Into the dwell.
lug itself, finding the door unfastened.
In the course of a minute he returned
to his young companion.
"There lane ono here," he announced.
"Perhaps the late conduct of the red
skins, of which you were speaking, has
frightened Mr. Woodbury away."
Sit shook his head.
•
"Mr. Woodbury bu not ban here
lately," ha asserted. "Thernbun't been
a stroke or work done on this place this
summer."
"lie may :3 gone away Jut fall,
then, and not h e returned?"
The meet shook hie head.
"I fear your former suggestion Is the
true one," he remarked.
"Namely,. that the Indiana have killed
him?".
" Yes, the do,r Is. full of bullets, and
the turf Walla are burnt and amoketton
places, u If the red skins had fired Into
them at short range. I fear Mr.' Wood
bury hu been killed I"
" Has the house been ravaged 1"
"No. Everything• appears as Mr.
Woodbury 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. tell yon.just what I think,
which is, tb4, somebody has killed Mr.
Woodbury, and that this somebody his
taken possession!"
"Is there any sign of this somebody
having been here lately?"
"Yes. I cannot say bow lately. but I
should say within a day or two, although
the hearth Is perfectly cold. Th ere Is a
a pail of water in thepantry, part of a
ham, a bag of corn, a bag of flour, a dish
of salt, and varioris 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 successor.. Who can he be?"
"I think he's a redakin I"
I been
le for
Cole•
- "And why?"
"Because the lock and bars, which
have been burst from the door, have not
been replaced. This shows that the on.
vapid Is not afraid of thE rtid•skinsl"
Effie mused a moment upon this unac
pected condition of affairs, and then
asked:.
"Well, oiled Abell we do?"
Before replying the scout looked at his
horse searchingly, assuring himself that
the animal was very tired.
"We'll halt 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 bo glad to rest awhile," ob.
served Effie, as she alighted. "I am
very tired!"
"Naturally enough, after all theme ad
venturei 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
coral, so that be will not stray or In the
darkness."
''bey made a fire, and had • coarse, bu
comfortable meal.
•
•• - •
"Bach a supper, with oar hunger, is
better than a lout without appetite," re.
marked Effie.
"I don't know why we shouldn't put
pp at this hotel until morning," observed
Kit, as he also looked contentedly about
him. "True, the 'landlord Is absent, but
we can get along without him."
"I think the only question is as to
whether we can get &longleaf+ him, if he
should chance to return during the night."
"I'll answer for that continncy. 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 I
almost Ins tantly Illuminated the nese
around him as perfectly as it could have
been illuminated by the sun at mid.day.
"Look at thati" suddenly cried Effie in
a startled whisper, as she leaped to her
feet.
"Whit is that?"
"Where? Where?" demanded the
wont.
"That writing, in red letters upon the
opposite wall behind us!" exclaimed Miss
Lyon, the blood receding from her face,
while her form shook violently.
elle pointed to the wall opposite the
fireplace—the wall upon which those
ruddy flames shone so vividly—and Acre
the scout beheld several linea of course
and irregular writing, evidently the work
of a human finger, which l had a g ain and
again been dipped in blood.
This terrible revelation was as follows
"I am attacked, this 10th day of March,
by Fleet Foot and a dozen others.
Already terribly wounded. Expect to

Before the scout and , his companion
could withdraw their gess 'fromthat
dreadful revelation, they were thither
startled by sounds that eameto their hear

Then their eyes met.

"Andvolces also!" replied Carson.
At the same instant a dog was heard
snuffing at the entrance of the ranche.
Then the dog began barking furiously,
while the sound of hurried footsteps arose
in front of the door.
