CHAPTER XL L f -v:- Brrtrntcr led his little bind of trooper oj into Vie night. 'Wlio's there?"' demanded Brewster from beneath his roU and Mankets, as late that ni.zht bis naiae vas called. -It is I ilolden. TumUe cp, man; I want yon quick." My God, doctor, is Berrien worsei" "Xo, thank heaven, he's iwund aelocp. Sergeant Ellis was l.rong'ut iu by the guard half an hour ago. He fell ex hausted at the lines. We've just brought him to at the hospital tent, and from w hat I can make out he's so weak yet there's something batk there out on the prairie, an ambulance au-.l women. I ran over for you as soon as I could, for yon probably know him Ix-bt." IV with yon in a minute," shouted EnwstiT, kicking off his moccasins and ttruggiing into his heavy boots. Lie still. Haddock; you're not want d," he added. "What time is it, Doer Long after eleven uc-ar midnight, I jndge. Come as quick as you can. I'll go right lir-t k." In five minutes, in the dim light of the hospital tent, Brewster was bending over Ellis" pn btrate form. Others had pulled off Lis h.yivy boots and were chafing his half frozen feet. H olden had just ad miuisteri'd another dose of brandy, but at sight t.f Brewster the languid, half open eyes began to gleam and the mus cles of the lips to twitch. "Stoop lower, Brewster; he wants to speak to you," said Holden. And Brews ter inclined his ear almost to the black mutaclie. Then with sudden bound he was on his fe t again. "What!" he cried. "God of heaven, mac! do you mean itT His face v.-as ashen in an instant, but his eyes never quit their questioning gaze, Ellis nodded vehemently, striving again to fjieak. "Doctor, do youheari''' cried Brewster, in mad dismay. "Ho says Mrs. Berrien and Winifred are in the ambulance broken down at Wdf Creek." And without another word he darted from the tent. Ten minctes mor a dozen men of the "black troop" were bracing cinch straps, bnckiing throat latches and loading blankets on their astonished steeds. De spite the howling of the gale, half the camp was up and astir, Fartinhar among the first. Brewster had his own hor.Mj saddled and was astride before any one dse was fairly dressed, and by this time Ellis had recovered sufficiently to sjieak and tell his story. The truin from the east came in on time at three, and L was amazed to tee Mrs. Berrien's face. JCo one dreamed of her coming, for the vires were down. The quartermaster ran to meet her, end the sergeant him self hastened to give her good news of Ler husband. Nothing would asiswer, though, but that she must go to him at once. In vain did Major Slnrett plead with her, 6aying it took five hours to drive over to the cantonment by day and he fearc-i the evening would be dark and eiormy. Go she would, and the quar termaster ordered out his own ambu lance and best four mule team, with his own driver and a conple of armed out riders. He gave the ladies hot tea, h aded in lots of blankets and robes, an 1 they started about half past three, were in the teeth of the gale ut five o'clock, iu pitch darkness and oil" the road at six, nnd somewhere alxmt sevi the muhs became unmanageable in 'the blizzard, whirled 6hort around and sJKtpjied off the pole. By this time, too. oae outrider w;is lost, the other was frozen half to leath aud had been drinking whisky. The driver was so stiff he cot.Jd hardly move Land or foot, and he and Eilis had the utmost difficulty iu ratting ljose the mules. There was every prosptct ..f their capsizing the wagon, and they l.ad to get the ladies out until the beast. wero free. Then he found they wero close to Wolf creek, more than half way, and Ellis determined iu push on through the cantoume:it for help, first replacing the ladies in the covered wagon, wrapping them in furs and blankets and fastening the curtains. The hurricane increased, lie and his horse were both blinded, and at last the poor brute stumbled, fell iuto a ravine and could barely struggle to his feet. Abandoning his horse, Ellis pushed on afoot and reached camp he kuew ct Low. He only remembered hearing that distant tattoo. Farquhar never hesitated. " Brewster never asked. Holden made Lim and each of Lis men swallow a cup of steam ing coffee, and the colonel tiok it as a matter of course th.it Curly was the vtrv iu.hi to go. "Yon have brandy and blankets in plenty?" he asked. "Holden is loading more into the ambulance, and it follows at once. Off with you now." Impatient even of this brief detention, Brewster led Lis little baud of troopers off iuto the right. There was not a man in the Twelfth that wouldn't have faced worst things than a blizzard for old Berrien'fc sake, and a for this it was but a bagatelle. "All we've got to do is send Ik fore the gale, fellers," sung ont Mur Ihy. joyously, cs they went cautering 4ut of cainp. aud in a second more wera lost to sight and hearing. Then camo the clatter and rattle of the hospital team, the ambulance, weighted down with robes and blankets and a brace of licavy troojiers. despite which ballast the light vehicle was well nigh whirled over by the force of the gale. And then Farqnhitr and the doctor had time to turn to Ellis and to think. Th?y must have got tar dispatch Tuesday night and 1- i't by tha earliest train." said Holden. "How utterly out rageous a proceeding! And yet 1 might have known it of Mrs. Berrien." Meantime there had been dismay at the quartermaster's depot. Sterrett. rioting the increasing severity of the gale at nightfall, had begun rpbraidiiig Limself for h.viDg allowed tho ladies to persist ia th ra-di attempt. He had done his bu.t to persuade Mrs. Berrien 1 ?w -t-Ji. itnd to jiejure tier that tr.e major was doing well: he pointed out to her that they had nothing but rough shelter of log and turf and canvas at the camp; that there was absolutely no place where delicately nurtured women could be cared f or. He offered her and Miss Winifred his own warm, snug, though rudely furnished room at the station, and ordered his chief clerk to clear out and sleep in the office. He tola her how impossible it was for him to leave hia post and his duties of forwarding sup pli.s, and explained that there was no ofiicer to properly escort them. Bui ono by one she had promptly overthrown his objections. Escort? Here was Sergeant Ellis. What better could sho ask? As for lack of accommodation at the camp, had she not lived all one winter with her beloved Dick ia a Kansas dngont just the year after their marriage? Had she not camped with him on the Yellow stone? nursed him in a deserted log hut through the mountain fever in tho Big Horn? Were there not women, school teachers and the agent's and trader's families there at the agency? What had I he to fear for herself or Winifred in the midst of the Twelfth? "But the regiment isordered to march tomorrow." said Sterrett. "It is an open secret that the Indians have slipjicJ away from the troops along the Chey enne, and there'6 the mischief to pay." "All the more reason for my being at my husband's side," promptly answered this army heroine. "Dr. Ilolden will have to go, and Dick will be left prac tically alone. Winifred and 1 start at once, even if we have to walk." Of course that ended tho matter. Against such determination he was powerless. Having first done his best to detain them he had then bent all his efforts to the duty of transportation, and now at a late hour is the evening and in the energetic and familiar language of the corral was blaspheming the fate that had led him to yield his better judgment to her importunity. Somewhere about nine o'clock one of the outriders had been dragged off his horse more dead than alive and told a pitiful tale of hav ing been driven before the storm, and he didn't even know how far they had got before he lost sight of the ambu lance entirely, but was sure that ono and all they had lost the road and now were adrift on the prairie. This was bad enough; but at ten o'clock or there about the corral master came in to say that the. riderless hore of the other man had just arrived at the gate and, barely able to stagger, was led inside. "Pete had a flask along." said the cor ral master sentenriously. "That's what's the matter with him." Then Sterrett could stand it no longer. Soldiers there were none to send they were all over the range, at tho canton ment or beyond; civilians were there in plenty, dozens of refugees from the ranches, dozens of railroad men and train hands, one or two disgusted corre spondents who had got the "tip" as to impending movements all too late to catch the luckier members of that all pervading fralernity.but who were quick to realize the "scoop" they would have ia transmitting to their respecVve jour nals full and picturesque details of the Dakota blizzard. It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. Even though every one told him he could accomplish nothing whatever be fore daylight, Sterrett had a little party of stalwart frontiersmen duly eqnipj)ed by midnight and ready to start the in stant the gale Ehould show signs of mod erating. Hour after hour it shrieked and howled, driving the sheets of snow before it, sweeping the frozen prairie clean as a floor, but whirling dense white clouds into every sheltered gulch aud ravine, settling tho drifts in the lee of every stack aud shed and building at tha railway station where, "dead" and aban doned, lay the engine of the eastljound train, the passenger huddling for warmth into a single car and cheerfully discussing the propriety of using the other for firewood. Aud then, before the first faiut glimmer of da wn, as though spcrt with its own vio lence, the gale began to die. The clouds scudding southeastward drew aside, un curtaining the placid heavens, where the stars were faintly gleaming and then twinkling out of Eight. Soon in a blaze of glory and triumph the sun rose slowly over the far distant bluffs and looked down upon the scene of wrath and deso lation wrought by rude Boreas in the conquerer's absence; and just then, too, there hove in sight a battered little squad of troopers on sjient and jaded steeds, and the sergeant in command rode breast deep into tho drift at the south entrance of Slerrett's office and yelled over the in tervening shield of snow the stunning question: "Did the ladies get back all right? We cau't find the ambulance anywhere along the Wolf." CHAPTER XIL ".Uni i-cif, !in, but fire Hnli'." Before quitting the ambulance and its precious freight E!lis had made such ex amination of the neighborhood was poxrlbio in tho thick darkness, ;is:d dis covered that they were ilose to the cJge of a narrow, winding ravine with cb mptly sloping liank. and it was in here that those sagacious mules had sought shelter from the force of the blu; f. The ambulance was standing on a veritable ridge. exxd tj the full fury .f the gala, the blope to the rapid mnuing Wolf just in front, the ravine to the right rear. Shouting to tho bulits to fear nothing, he had no difficulty, when aided by tho driver, in starting the wheels, and the instant the vehicle was partially turned iuto tho track of the storm it was blown bac kward down into the so't bed of snow, already thick and deep. Here, under the lee of the banks, the stout wagon was comparatively shel tered, for the top cf the canvas cover was jitst a trifle lielow the general level of the prairie. The mules, startled from their fancied security by the rattle of wheels and canvas as the ambulance was rua down the slope into their midst, seized with one of their unaccountable panics tore blindly away np the farther bank and out upon the storm swept level beyond. Then iu the whirling cloud of snow Ellis had remounted, shouted again a few encouraging words to the ladies within, assuring them he and his sturdy troop horje would have no difiicuhy in reaching camp and bringing aid. urging theta meantime to keep snugly bundled ia their robes, and with Mrs. Berrieu's brave voice aud cheery "G-jd speed you, sergeant V ringing ia his tars, ho rode gallantly away, forded the shallow stream at the mouth of the cou'ee and then, facing the gale, spurred forth npon his perilous mission. The driver and the already somnolent Tete, with what was left of the contents of the depleted fuisk. crawled into the snowbed beneath the wagon body, rolled themselves into their joint stock of robes and blankets and prepared to spend a comfortable night. It was an old story to both. But, despite all tho driver's efforts on the way, the gale bad forced them far to the right of the main road and these which paralleled it. the only ones at all familiar to the Twelfth, cud when Brewster and his little squad reached this ford, alo.ig toward two o'clock ia the mort'ng, they sought in vain ia every ravin and break shouted, fired their carbines and sounded their tramjiet, all j tno Durcose. Jot aa auswoj-it,;! err 7') ti.1 ' f : Si rewarded fheir efforts. Troia dlU de- fcriptioa Brewster knew that the ladies were so muffled in furs that within tlieir canvas shelter they conld hardly suffer greatly from the cold. He was assured that the driver and Tete were with them, also well provided with rolies and blank ets, and that they wre in no immediate danger of freezing; but he could not bear the thought of the long, weary waiting, the dread anxiety, the dark ness, the isolation in all that howling wilderness. He could picture Winifred nestled in her mother's arms, wonder ing, wondering, as the hours dragged by, when, if ever, human aid would come to fSeir relief. At four o'clock he and his parly had searched and scouted for half a dozen miles np and down the valley. Some of his best and stanchest men were giving out, and these, with Sergeant Brooks, he ordered to push along with the gale and seek news and shelter at the station. Three others he posted near the main crossing of the Wolf, under the lee of a little bluff, where they and their horses speedily stamped a hole in the snow drifts around the hospital ambulance and huddled for warmth fires they conld not light, even had there been a vestige of fuel and thenfdth throe un daunted camjiaigners at his back, lie had once again turned down stream, fol lowing its wanderings in tho darkness and feeling for ravines he could not see aloug the southern bank. Time and again they dismounted and ran beside their horses to restore circulation to the numbed and stiffened feet and fingers. Time and again they plunged waist deep into drifts and the horses flounder ed to their girths in . the powdery snow. At last Brewster noted that here and there far in the northwestern skies tho stars were beginning to peep; the clouds were driving away, the dawn was nigh, the hurricane abating. Broader and brighter the daylight stole over tho storm swept prairie, streaked here and there with fleecy, winding veius, and when at last the sun arose in its un clouded splendor the gale had died away to a mere ghost cf its furious self, and they rubbed the icy fringe from their battered eyelids aud g:ized long and wistfully up and down that shallow, winding valley, all heaped and tumbled with the driven snow, and saw not a sign of those whom they had rushed to save. Never for an instant did Brewster re lax his efforts. Giving each of his men a pull at the flask, he selected little Murphy as about the most compact and certainly the lightest of the trio, and bade him make Lis way to camp and tell the colonel that np to sunrise no vestige of the lost ones had been found, and suggest that additional parties be sent out at once. "Tell somebody to bring my field glass," he added, as Murphy was alxint to ride away. "If 1 had dreamed we would have found nothing cf the ambu lance until this time, 1 never Ehould have left it. Good luck to you now. corporaL Uide as lively cs you can." Murphy turned promptly away, spur red his unwilling hor.- through the ice into the black and racing waters of the Wolf and was presently fullowir-.g a lit tle break in the north side which led ly a more gradual ascent to the prairie be yond. "Now, men, one of yon ride back to ward tho party at the ford, poke into every raviae to your left they're all full of snow; it may le the ambulance is so deep in tho drift they could hear no sound. If you find anything, the faint est trace, ride up on tho prairie and circle yocr horse to tho left. Morse, yon come with me." "Beg pardon, lieutenant, I think Mur phy set's something now," said Morse, indicating the farther shore with a nod of his fur covered head. Whirling eag erly about, Brewster was surprised tosee his little Irishman, a hundred yards or so away, crouching low on his horse's back, still in tho ravine and np to his girth in snow, and peering cautiously eastward, bis eyes just level with the bank. Then he was plainly seen to sig nal. In an instant Brewster and his men were plunging into the rapid stream, crushing tho ice that skirted the shores and bounding out npon the frozen ground beyond. Again Murphy held forth a hand a warning gesture, not a a beckoning one. "Keep down, keep down," he signaled, and wondering, the little party cf troopers cautiously fol lowed into the ravine. "What do yon see?" queried Brewster, eager and agitated. "Upon my soul, sir. I wish I knew; but it's more like Indians than anything I can think of." "Indians? where away?" And with a wild fear at heart Brewster gazed over the liank in the direction indicated "Indians. ud coiuiug this way. sir, or Fiu a tenderfoot," muttered Morse, a man who had served in tho Twelfth for many a year. "What on earth can they bo doing so far south of the agency? Y'ou don't think any of tho hostile have got down this way?" "They're all hostiles, sir, when there's only three or four ag'in thetn. It don't matter whether these are from the tgency or tho Bad Lands now, if they caa catch a whito man a-nappiug, and something has brought them out here." "My God, man! you don't snpjiose they've heard of the ambulance?" 'They hear things quicker than we do, lieutenant. Day or uight, calm or storm, those fellows can all around beat oj in getting news," ' "And they arc coming from the north east, lier.tecant," chimed in Murphy. "Taut means if they are from the vil lages near the agency they've circled around our people." Breathless the little party watched the coming d-its. The stream bore to the portheart after a deep lx-nd alwut half a mile away, and oa the farther bank, moving nearly itarallcl with the valley, abant a dozen dark objects could lieseea moving at rapid lope, the springing, tire less gait of the Indian pony. Ponies they were unquestionably, and each with his lider. Every moment brought them nearer aud nearer, until, as they spread out ia extended order across the level surface, it was possible to count their number, eleven; possible to note that every now and then some one of the number iu front or on the flanks would reia in suddenly and circle around and stop, as though examining tracks cjKja tho prairie. "It is not possible the nuibnlance can have got so far ever as that," muttered Brewster. "It is not jossiblo that they can have heard of it iu ail that fearful storm. Why. Morse, it's madness to think of itr "1 don't know how f.r the team may have been driven out that way. i ' . but the blizzard came from the uori.i.. est, from their left front; it lat across their path all tho way and mules wou't face it. and if it isn't the ambulance they're after, what can it be?" "My God, if we only knew where it was!" groaned Brewster. "Come what may, men, we've got to stand tvrixt it and those scoundrels. Here, Murphy, lively now, slip back down into the val ley and ride for all you're worth to tho ford and bring those ft"ows back with you, every man of them. Tell them to keep nnder the bank and rido like helL Off with yon, now." And this time there was no recall; Murphy was out of sight hi a flash. Nearer and nearer rode the savaga horsemen, now about a mile away. Already Morse and his sileat comrade had swung their carbines out of their leathern buckets, thrust a cartridge ia the chamber and loosened others in the woven thimbles. Brewster never for an instant quit his gaze, but his hand had Stolen back and loosed the flap of the hoLter at his hip. The movements tf , the laUiuns uad puzzled him; they were riding not as though moving on some point already determined, but rather as if searching, feeling their way. Every now and then, too, some of their num ber cantered to the edge of the bank and seemed to scrutinize the valley. "Snowdrifts are too deep and plenti ful in there, around that bpnd. sir. That's why they're np on the prairis." Brewster's heart seemed almost to stand still. All on a sndden tho leaders swerved; the blanketed riders could be seen bending low and over us they swung their nimble steeds in circle to the right. And then, then, an instant more, and, tossing the powdery snow all in a fleecy white cloud, there came tear ing np out of the depths of some nnseen coulee a lively herd of Indian ponies re joicing in their unwonted freedom and determined not to be herded back to slavery without a struggle. It was hard to repress the shout of joy that sprang to the soldiers lips. Then it wasn't the ambulance after all; noth ing but this frolicsome band of rascals that, after breaking away from tho In dian boys the evening before, had doubt less been driven before the gale, de manding the sending forth of quite a party of the young men in search, even before the storm had fully abated. For a moment the troopers forgot their mis sion as they watched tho chase. Fresh and unhampered by weight of any kind the scurrying band camo sweeping along the edge of the distant bluff, following an active, mischievous leader and leav ing their jaded pursuers far behind. Tho Indian knows too much to chase a run ning horse; he leaves him to his own de vices, well knowing he will more quick ly stop when nnpursued and can then more readily be headed off and turned back to the ways he should go. On came the nimble herd full tilt toward the elbow in the shallow valley, where a broad whito streak told of deep drifted 6iiow, and there the leader veered to tho left and south and would doubtless have stretched away at racing speed on that course but for one j-oung warrior on a dun colored jony, who with the speed of the wind came darting out across tho level surface beyond, gamely, skillfully heading him. Around went the leader once more in a wide circle westward, around the 6onthermost edge of tho fleecy drift, and then, with thundering hoofs, the whole troop went bounding away to tho west without a living soul to interpose between them and the bald, rolling heights at the far horizon, miles and miles away. "Go it, pony! Tin glad to see a red skin done for once!" was Morse's jubi lant shout. And then, suddenly aud sharp, "Good Godl What's that. Lieu tenant? Look!" Not six hundred yards awa', now, tho little band of ponies, following their spirited leader, had suddenly halted at the very edge of some dip or sink iu tho prairie that lay to the southeast of tho snowy rift in which tho troopers were cronching, still hidden, they and their horses, from the sharp eyes of the chas ing Indians. Then as suddenly, tossing high their scraggy inanes, as though with ono accord, the nimblo brutes whirled to the south, their leader in dulging in a fine flourish of heels as bo sped away. And uow Morse lay against the lwuk pointing eagerly to a couple of black objects startlingly outlined on the glistening white of the snow, two ob jects that came plunging up from th invisible depths of Ihe hollow, strug gling breast deep in tho drifts, and at last reached the edge of tho prairie, and, followed instantly by another couple, hith their long ears erect, with out stretched neck and eager brayings, clat tered away in pursuit of tho herd. Brewster knew them at a glance Ster rett's ambulance mules. Indeed, tho broken pole was still dangling between the two in rear and bounding with them over the frozen turf. And that swerve, that sudden halt and turn to the south end, had cost the band their liberty. Darting along abreast of them, but nearly half a mile away to the south, the warrior on the dun colored pouy had sh.it far out beyond them, and now, sweeping around in a wide circle to his right, rode between them and the broad wastes to the west. Two other In diaus were circling in their front, lar ring the way to the low hills to the south. Others still, straggling far ont eastward, reined up so aa not to inter fere with tho "rounding" of the herd, and in a moment or two more theso three experts had turned their runaway property in wide sweep back into liio shining track of the sun, and in a very few minutes the matter was settled; the ponies were 6ulkily trotting along the bank beyond the bend, headed for homo and hard work again, with the ambu lance mules braying at their heels. Here the younger Indians, the boys, took charge, aud from the distant slopes, from south and east and from the prai rie to the west, the others came canter ing toward that sharp angle half a mile away and gathered in eager consulta tion about one who seemed to be their leader. All this, and much more. Brewster and his men were watching with bound ing pulses, in breathless excitement, Brewster with feelings of mingled hope and despair. Now he kuew that tho ambulance must be somewhere near at hand, possibly up that long ravine on the south bide that slanted in from the prairie not a hundred yards away below them. Surely the banks looked as though there were a good ford at that point Might not that be the very one of which Ellis spoke? Now, if it were but jiossi ble to drop back on. tf the drifts in which they were hiding and recross the stream, they might yet creep unobserved into the mouth of that gully and feel their way afoot until, somewhere in tho snow, they came upon, as he now felt snre they must, tho stormbound wagon with its precious contents. From their crouching place it was impossible to seo across tho ridge that sejiaRited thorn from the ravine referred to; but to the southeast the prairie lay liefore them, and the keenest eye could detect no sign of hollow between that which lay so near them and that from which those vagabond males Lad emerged far out npon the plain. Somehow Brewster felt certain that now at last he was actually within pistol shot of the ambulance, within shaking distance, almost, of tho girl he so fondly loved, whose very life at this instant depended not only on his courage, but also on his judgment Ono false move would ruin all. So long as the Indiana kept np their powwow at the bend, so long was Wini fred safe. The longer they delayed tho nearer would it bring Murphy and the men from the main crossing three miles away np stream. Then, six to six, he could laugh at the Sioux. But any ono who knew Indians at all knew that tho discovery of the mules would only set them to work to find the snow c.tmp from which the animals had broken away. Aye, even as these things flashed through his mind. Brewster could see that they were signaling "halt" to the herd guard, and that two of the young sters were lashing their ponies out iu front of the band and gradually bring ing it to a standstill. Almost at the same moment, too, those in consultation sepa rated, three riding swiftly after tho herd, while the other three, slowly and cautiously, liegan to advance toward the hollow whence the mules had emerged. Evidently they exjiected to find the whito man's wagon there. "Now is yonr time, men." muttered Brewster. "Quick! Off with jour side lines and double them aliont your horses' fore feet so that they can't even hobbla out of the drift Keep them here. Take your lariat and hopplo my horse, ono of yon. Throw him if need be, I'll watch those beggars down stream. Ah, 1 thought so," he muttered, 'they've grabbed the mules and are examining the harness; that will tell them easily enough they were cut loose after break ing the pole. Quick, men! throw sr.ow by the bushel all over yonr horses. Roll ia it yourselves. Get all tho white on yon can: then run doxn tho gully as 6ooa as you hare your horses hidden and watch for my signal. The moment 1 say go, bend double and scamper to the ice yonder, then make for tho LluHs. I'll follow instantly." Meekly the two troop' horses, after having been led to a deeper point down the coulee. Lent their heads and sub mitted to the lashing together cf their foro feet, but Brewster's "Black Jack" wa3 of different mold. He would not yield. "Over with him. Mors?. No time to lo: now. Lash Lim tight or hell break away," called Brewster. AuJ poor jack A plunging avaiiea nun norning. A moment more, with a dismal groan he was on his side in the soft, cold bed. the lariat was being lashed and knotted so that even fnrious struggles could not free him, and then, to add to the indig nity, his erstwhile friends and comrades were heaping new insult and a storm of snow upon him. Jack couldu't under stand it "Ready, men! They're just peeping over in the hollow now. The moment they're fairly in it, I give the word." Twenty thirty secouds of breathless silence. Then a quick gesture: a quick, low toned, but imperative "Go!" Go they did. skimming over tho pool nbovo tho rapids, leaping tho narrow chasm where the black waters, dancing and frothing, had defied tho ice king; ducking under tho opposito bank; car bines in hand, revolvers at tho hip. car tridges gleaming in every belt; and after them, leaping, yet bending low, went Brewster. Another moment and they reached tho mouth of the ravine, burst through the powdery drift, and then, Brewster leading, eyes everywhere, al most on all fours, they scurried along half way up tho opposite slope, keeping well under the crest and just at tho edge of the deepdrifts to their right Fifty sixty yards they mado their rapid way, and then around a little bend and among great heaps aud mounds of glistening, bhiinmering white there roso an odd shajied heap, only a triflo higher tlian its fellows, and from the midst of it thero projected a dingy, whity-brown canvas, slanting to tho north, and with a cry of delight half stifled in his lips Carroll Brewster leaped into tho snow, floundered to his armpits inthe powdery drift, and in a moment more had forced ais way through tho fragile white wall before him, had seized the handle of tho door and Winifred Berrien, starting from her mother's clasping arms, blinded for an instant by tho glare of radiant sun shine, barely able as yet to rally from the stupor liko slumber into which she hao fallen, heard her nauio called i:i the joy ous tones she knew so well and saw her lover, a stalwart, glowing, rejoicing young snow god, all sparkling with the whito crystals, all glistening in tho glo rious lieams, gazing upon her with a love light in his brave blue ryes that brought instant glow to her own wan and pallid cheek. And then, beforo siie could even speak, before her mother could emerge from the enfolding robes, a shout was heard, then tho sudden ring of a rifle 6hot, followed instantly by an other, tho spat as of a whiplash on the canvas top. Something tore its way through tho roof and f:iat with spiteful "rip." "Down! down upon the floor! both of you, quick!" shouted Brewster, as ho slaininod the door, and tho next instant they heard the order in his ring ing tones, half stitlt'd in the snow. "Fire, men! Keep 'em off! Fire!" They heard tho quick bang! bang! of carbines clo.-o at hand, tho prompt re sponse cf rifles distant as were the first, tho whistlo of Uad through the icy air. tho shrill yells of battling Indians, the fnrious gallop of bounding hoofs. Every where to their front the rapid lire in creased. More yells, partly of triumph, partly summoning additional warriors to the Fpot, thou tho muffled beat of coming hoofs, and ia tho midst of it all Brewster's stern voice, calm and steady: "Aim well, men, but Crelhely.

And thfn. all oa a sudden, tho yells of tao charging In dians seemed to gro-.v fainter, theii sounds of dismay arose aiaung them, then the cri.'s were drowned in the clat ter of ironshod hoof-i and the chorus of soldier cheers. Murphy and his little squad came whirling np the bank, and Mrs. Berrien's heart poured forth ia praise and thanksgiving at tho joyous Milesian hail: "To hell wid 'em, fellers!

An Alpine story is told of a tinner's servant who did not believe that the cattle could sjicak, ami, to make sure he hid iu his master's stable on Christ ma eve and listened. When the clock struck 12, he was surprised at what he heard. "We shall have hard work to do this day week," said one horse. "Yes; the farmer's servant i.4 heavy," answered the other horse.
