Bouton'9 delight at being re-enforced cannot be described He felt elated at his increased power and confident that no opposition that Brandon could make would check hisschtmes. But Braadon might call in the aid of m*.ps from some of the forts. There was danger in this and Bouton determined to obviate it by wiping Brand' n out of existence. Next to liis fear and hatred for Bran don was that entt rtaiued f..r Henry Kyle. The unprincipled always hate those whom they fail to destroy. The death of Pmcii gave Bouton a good ex cuse' to influence his men agaiiist the man whom tiny had hitherto a<lmired for his addn ss and daring, and as fel lows of his always tiiink in crowds they s.-hju w< rk' il themselves into a ha tred of Henry Kyle that found un outlet in oaths that vi re loud if not deep. It was cnOei'-itood that un uLtive eam paigu would ba U gun on the morrow, and in anticipation of it the outlaws cleaned their rifles, sharpened their knives and cast bullets by the fire. The slender, pit! uresque fonns of the Indi ans, the leaping tl;aiies and polished, f:. hing anus, made a picture that Alice L .uiciiiird never forgot. She was sit ting on the ground talking in low tones to Nora Kyle aud gazing now and thtoi in the direction where she knew Louis to be when a shadow fell ou the ground between (htm and looking up she saw Bouton. "Good evening, ladies," he said, removing his hat andbowingdefer. il tially. "I am sorry that I cannot make you more comfortable." "But you can make us more comfort able," said Alice sternly. "Then command me, for I have the honor to be your most obedient serv ant, " and as he spoke ho turned his face so that the light from the distant fire fell on his white teeth and made them cruelly conspicuoms. Seeing that ho wanted her to speak, Alice said: "I did not mean to say what I did " "Bat you had a right to. I repeat, what is it I can do to add to tho com fort of either?" "Leave us to ourselves" replied Al ice. "Ah, yon are cruel, but I shall not be." Bouton tried to laugh, but the girls were struck with the harsh, metal lic ring of his voice. ''l fear that you blame me," be weut on, "tor the in convenience you have b< en subjected to. You will not believu me if I tell you that I alouo have saved you from worse treatment." "Are you not the loader of these— these"— "Say robbers or whatever you will. Miss Blanchard, and I'll confess that I am their lender. If I were not, as I said before, your fate would be worse'. And I intend using my power for your con tinued safety, though I know you will not believe me." Bouton threw himself on the grass, and ut that moment fresh fuel added to the lioaiest lire lit up the scene, so that they could see each other plainly. "Yes, you think I am very bad. Miss Blanchard, and she thinks 1 am very bad. Is not that true?" "It is," replicel Aliec. "I know that, and yet, Miss B'uuch ard, lam not a Cain. Yon have ]>oid of Cain, but lam not one, I have nev er made my hands rid with u brother's blood. Do you understand that, Miss Nora?" The story of her father's lift*—his life secret and life torture —flashed through Nora Kyle's brain, and she Would have fallen liad not Alice's arm been around her. "I know nothing about you. I want to know nothing," Nora manuged to gasp. In her pure, gentle heart she lm ugincd this man a wizard, who by some occult means had possessed himself ef her father's secret. "1 do not wish to tell yon of myself, only so far as my life is mm)o«ted with yours. I knew your father hgfore TOU were born, before ho came to taw mountains to hide from iho vorld. 1 know wby ho did cpnie, yet I harve nev er tried to harm him, iHJ\er thought uf giving his to the world. There are others m arching for your father, and if I went with them it Was not because I wished them to succeed. You blame mo, but on your knees you would thank me if you Knew what I had done, what 1 have prevented belng/fiono." "If you have been so very good," said Alice Illanihard, breaking in on his special pleading, "why is it you keep us and Mr. Louis Kyle prisoner#'/" "That is i> proper fjuestiou and I wish 1 could explain It, for I do n6t wish to be ißUiunderHtood.. But though I seeaaio be, I am not my own master. There are others who direct. I must pretend to submit to their wishes that 1 muy be able to protect you both from harm," said Bouton, with a great affectation of sincerity and candor. "You cannot defend yourself with mysteries," said Alice. "I cannot Is lievo you unless you explain all." "Explain all. Miss Blanchard?" "That is what I said." "Well, I am willing to explain all." He drew nearer to Nora and asked, in a theatrical whisper, "Are you willing that 1 should explain all?" "No, no!" she half shrieked. "L ave me; for heaven's sake, leave me, or kill me!" "I will not kill you. I would rather kill myself. I will leave you for the night. When wo march on the morrow, MisH Kyle, 1 will xpeuk with you again. I will tell yon something that is near to my heart. 1 Bouton rose and bowed, then went back to where tho men were lying around tho carapflr** Ho ooiled him self up In a blanket and wns asleep in a short timti. Him BHSM tried to imitate him, but thongh he had grown more and more weary every day siuce coming Into this country, his narrow brain was too much crowded with thought for him to get much satisfactory sleep. Before daylight the next morning the camp was astir. While some prepared food others loaded the pack mules and saddled tho horses, duties that seemed to require a great deal of shouting and a deluge of profanity. The prisoners were served with food as before and Font Kobb brought up horses for Alioe and Nora, when Boaton offered to assist them to their saddle*. At Alice's request Louis Kyle was permitted to ride beside them. But be fore Bouton would agree to this request he made Nora promise that some time during the march she would daop back and talk to him for an hour or t-wo. To this the poor girl consented for her brother's Hake. She bad the gro*test horror of this man now that she felt he knew her father's secret. Innocent of the world's ways and fearful that Bou ton had it in his rower to levallv de- stroy hor father and all tho family, she would willingly die it called on for the sacrifice to w»re the in. She wanted an opportunity to tell Louis that Bouton knetf - their awful se cret, bat Boutou so lienr tLul fthr "(Joud evcutri'j. ludlcu." could not (,-peak to hiin about it, and even if Bouton vrero away she dared not speak to hiin on this subject in the presence of Alice Blanchaid As the long cavalcade wound di v . through the narrow valleys it looked KVua small army expecting a battle, and sneb It certiiinly w;is. To avoid the inevitable dust as well as to |>rev« ut an attack on the head of the lii •. .' Captain Brandon should see fit U) ai:.l>„.-h them, Bouton plaec.-l the prisoners to the fix>nt. After they hail gone Bona' uulc s Bouton whis pered to Nora, "Remember your pre m ise itud drop back beside me.'' With pale face and compreascd lips she obey ed liim. "Y< a must not think m« harsh." he 1..x-ui- "Think of bow lonj; I have kept the secret. I knew it before you were L. ru. " As it w»« evident lie did know the secret and impossible for her 1o t> 11 b<.w long he had known it, or how he be came possessed of it, flic was fi<re©d to believe bini, though,* as the rrcdor knows, his kuowltilge was of a very re cent dale. "If jou ai<; gouur to use it m>w," she managed to say, "better that you bad used it beforti'' "Did I say I was Koing to u«e it now?" "You talk as if you might," <hc ("aid nervously. "Then I fail to niako myself under ftood. My French ii better tlrnn my English. Shall wo talk "I do not unde<rstand Flench" "Very wrlL Wo shall keep on as we have been doing. You see many men about us hero?" He waved his hand back at tho cavalcade, and Nora nedded. "They want to catch your father and get a large reward." "And if they cutch him what will they do?" she asked with a shudder. "They wiil hang hiin." "Hang him!" she said with a gusp. "Yes. Hang him up by the neck till he is dead And they will put your mother in jail and your brothers, and keep them there till they are dead." Nora believed this. If shs did not, she had neither the courage nor knowl edge nor strength Ut refute it, eo awful ly did the picture impress her. "You do not want this to happen?" he asked after a painful pause. "Why should you ask me?" "Only to show what I think as you do, and to tell yon that it la all In you* hands.'' "In my bands?" she said eagerly. "Yes. That is what 1 say.

But yon must not say it now. 1 will give yuu time to think." He hesitated and looked into her face again, and to-avoid his gaze as well ais lb leara his object she asked : "What is the question?" "it is"—Bouton drew nearer and Whispered—"it is, will you consent to become my wife?" She looked at him with horror In her eves and a "No" trembling on her lips. But he wheeled his horde asido ahd Bald: "I do not want the answer now." CHAPTER XXIII. Uuder the guidance of the Indian herder, Valentine Kyle and his wits succeeded In reaching tbe caves to which the Prophet ha<\ sent them. They went down to the valley of the (ireat Spirit through the canyon by which Howard Blanchard first entered with Captain Brandon. Though broken hearted, weary and on foot and moch'aoCuatomed to the wonderful soanery of this mar velous land, they could not but be awed bv the sublimity of their surroundfcigs. The shadows and gloom were in sym pathy with their own hearts, and as hand in hand ihef went down deeper and deeper into the canyon it seemed to Mrs Kvle that she must have died With her buiband, and that in death, M in life, she was still clinging to him and leading him through the darkened way out to the gate called Beautiful. And when tho sunlit opening to the valley came in sight she stood und clung to him aud closed her eyes, npt daring to look at tho glory that seemed of another world. "Here is the valley of the Great Spirit," said tho guide, pointing out to the light. "I can bear voices. Above the sound of the waters, hurry ing down to the placid lake in the cen ter of the valley, Mrs. Kyle beard the singing and laughter of the immigrant children, and the sound came to her ears like the seraphic singing of angals. What music is there to the mother like the laughter of ohildren? Even Valen tine Kyle wtwi awed, und so filled with the supernatural exhilaration that hia {ace glowed and his gray hair and beard ookod like a saintly halu "Let us ff*t into tho light," called out the guide. "It la pleasanter in the beautiful valley." They followed him out, but stopped again at a point where all the glories of the enchanted soene burst upon thoirbe wildend gaze. There were children playing by the lake, and at tho sight of the strangers thev ran shouting to the caves in alarm, and their erica broke the illusion aud told Mrs. Kyle she waa still in tbe land of fear and sorrow and danger. As they crossed the valley they could •co anxious faces peering at them from behind tho rock*. Just as Valentino Kyle was about to Call to them not to fear, a tall, rosy faced girl made her appearance and ap proached tLeiu with extended hands. "I am Mary Clyde," she said. "Come with me. Ton seem to have trouble, like ourselves." "Indeed we have trouble, my child," said Mrs. Kyle. '' May you never know so much." "And may yours soon b« lightened," uoid Mai v. "imd it will be if it is in our power. We are only women and chil dren with one oltl man here, but the Prophet says we' aru safe. " Mary Clyde then le?d them to the cnve entrance, and here the women and chil dren came swarming out. all as tunned of their .alarm, though their recent ex perience warranted tlvem in the precau tion. Mr. Kyle let his wife answer, and when she told them her name they all asked in u ch< r..s, "Are you Louis Kyle's mother?" "I am." "Then," said Mary Clyde, "I shall kiss you." And thereupon all the other women and all the children followed Mary's hospitable example. When Mrs. Kyle told them that her home had been destroyed by Bouton, and that her daughter was then a pris oner in his hands, the indignution of the immigrant women became extreme, and Mrs. Clyde, Mary's mother, declared with much emph;. s that death would be something like a pleasure' if she could Just see Boutin tertured as she would have Lua tertured aud ivs be dest rved to be tomireel "for just five minuses." Mr. Kyle told thfcin the little he had lujimed from the Prophet nbmit I)r. Blanchard and his family. The report Was that the doctor had escaped, but that the girls were still in the power cf tho outlaws. "All our men are out aiding in the fight," said one woman, "and we'd be willing to fo and help them if it wasn't fur the children." The immigrants did all in the-ir pow er to comfort their guests, and all spoke of a termination to the trouble which the most imaginative did not fe«l in her heart. About the mieldle of the aft ernoon the children, who never tired of the beautiful valley nor ceased to won dfer at the grund caves, c-uine running in, tho leadier shunting; "Tho Prophet I Tho Prophet is oom ingl" Without asking a question all hur ried out and saw tho Prophet crossing the valley accompanied by Clara Blanch ard and her father. The women and children ran to meet them With shouts "No. I will remain «t» the shadow)." of joy, but Valentine Kyle and his wife remained book in the shadow. "I cannot meet him, wife. I cannot meet him I" cried tho unhappy man. "Meet him, husband Even if he should reeognieo you he can bear yon no malice:. Dr. Blanchard was over your friendl" "No, I will remain in the shadow till I can escape from hora " "That you must not do, Valentine. Look out, my husband See, time has so changed him that I could not tell that I had ever set eyes on him before. The children are shouting his name. That alone assures me I am not mistak en. U you wish to remain unknown, ho cannot recognise you. Only in your hfsve heart and lovo for me are yon &e Valentine Weldon of 19 years ago. Here, hero they are. Do not crouob back in the darkness See how like our Nora the young'girl looks." Mrs. Kyle soized her husband's arm and kept him standing back near tho entrance to the oave, where, without being directly observed, they ounld see all that was going on unUide. "And Valentine Kyie and his wife have arrived,'' said the Prophet, raising ids bronzed face to the son. "I knew that Clod would answer my prayer. Whwro are they?*' "lu the oave, " shouted tho children, and every hand was pointed in the di rection that ho might not make a mis take. Dr. Blanchard and the Prophot helpod QUra from Lex bono, when she wan ut Jooo surrounded of thio Women and chil dren, and uit) WM kjmud and oiled and luughtxf over till her cheeks were red dened With kissing aud hOr brow wh tau- Od with that riuvil (if cosmetics, the tears dt friendship. Mr. Kyls'ii old herder appearing, tho Prophet ordered bUa to take the horse* $9 the other side of the vallq?, "whew, r ' he said, "never * home grazed before, to r the valley has been sacred. But the homo that carries tho fugitive from cruel persecution la an Instrafljmit >f the Lord apd becomes Sacred In hia service. Place the animals ip tho beet groan. No harm oan ootne to th eta here." With the saddle and equipment* on hia arm tho Prophet entered the cave and found Valentine Kyle and hia wlfo sitting in the shadows away from tho altar. Striding over, be took a band of each, and in a voice tilled with unusual pathos ho said: "Ye mourn still for your children M If they were not. ftfy heart la with you In your aoro affliction; bo*, as Gfodrvigx}- «th and my soul livedo the clcmda shall pads away and the sunlight of peaoe and Joy shall Dotur in on your purified hearts.

''They have ever come true, for all my thought has been devoted to learn ing the w«v* of the Great Architect who piled up the mountains, hollowed the * alley* and filled the world with light There are ho mysteries save In oar own ignorances no miracles save where we are blind.

The Prophot took thttlr hand* again Sd bowed Tjver them as If bo were call g down a benediction. Then be went 'to find the doctor and. Clara. Mvy Clyde hod anticipated what he wunld do, and at once prepared rrruohes, while others prepared rood. The doctor ate with thankfulness, and lay down on the rubes with a feeling of awe such aa ho had never before experienced, for he could not but feel that ho had left the world.

"It i« a curse," said the doctor, "a ourse from which tho innocent were fleeing, but it has followed us." "A curse?" reveateftMr. Kyle "Yea. It it tho story of a faraway land, and it would not interest you to hear it But it has ialien om you ms well aa on m&" "How had it fallen on me?" naked Valentine Kyle, speaking hoareely and bowing his bead on hut hands. "Your son Louis came to our aid, and it is, I am (tore, because of this that the outlaws attacked your place." "Perhaps so, but you say it would not interest me to hear the htory of a far away land. I assure you it would," said Valentine, with his face still averted. "It cases a sorrow to speak of it," be gan tho doetor, " but I would not f>r that reason add to tho sorrows of anoth er. However, it la still night, and the peoplo are sleeping. You will lie down again before day?" "I liavo slept enough." In a sad monotone Dr. Blanchard told the story of tho Wcldona—how old John Weldon died, cutting off his grand daughter, the doctor's wife, in his will and leaving his large jwopcrty to Fred erick and Valentino Weldon, the former unmarried; how Valentine favored the south and Frederick the north in the War that had just begun; how Valen tine fled and Frederick was missing; how a body supposed to bo Frederick's waa found long afterward far down l >ie river; how tho curse of that net had re flected on his children, and how he had determined to go with them into a new land, leaving all tho property tbit might have been theirs in the hands of Lawyer Bliss. All, everything up to the present moment, he told his silent lis tener. "The brother, Valontine, must have been a very bad man," Mr. Kyle man aged to say. "No," replied the doctor hurriedly. "Valentine Weldon was as bruvo and C mesons as the brother whom he HO ved and whom ho could not have meant to harm." "But he killed him—reddened his hands in his blood." "I Will not believe that of Valeutine Weldon, be he living or be ho dead If he was the cause of his brother's death, it was an accident or a blow struck iu anger, when Valentine had been drink ing. No, nol Valentine Weldon could not have done that " "If living, would you meet him as of yore?" asked Mr. Kyle, trying to appear calm. "Aye, that I would. Were he living I would take him to my heart, whero his memory has ever been,'' said tho doctor, with tears in his eyes. "Valontine Weldon is livingl" said Mr. Kylo, rising and reaching out his bands, then letting them fall hclplessiy by nis side. "Living!" exclaimed the doctor. "Yes; living and hen;. lam Valen tino Weldon!" Dr. Blanchard seized tli _■ hands again expended appealingly, and drawing the old nan nearer to the altar he looked Into the haggard face, and clasping him to his heart oricd out: "Valentine, Val entine I My brother, my brother!" CtiAFTER XXIV. Captain Brandon was as much amazed and set bae'e by Bouton's re-enforce ments as that person was delighted. Be know that a 3ght in tho open would be madness, and his only hope lay in am buscading the outlawa Howard Blanch ard, who, with John Olydo, had been Watching from the suniinit of a neigh boring hill, oame running down at sun rise, And in answer to the captain's question said excitedly: "They are coming this way!" "Boutou's men?" "Yes; every ono of them, and they look like aotvaJry regiment. Where enn they be going?" ''l cannot say, Howard, unless it be to hunt ua. If that is thoir object, the chauccs are all against their having a pleasant time of it." Then, changing hi* manner to one of command that so wall became him, the captain called out* "(Jome, men, to horao and keep ckMe together." From the elevations that crossed their course they could look back and sec the cloud of du4t that marked Bou ton's ad vance, and in this way they knew that th«y were pUQ keeping tho same dis tance between them. Late in tho after noou thoy oame to a mountain deiilo a half mile is length and with steep walls and rooky crosta.

They secured toe animals ou a lit plateau- and followed tho captain to tho top, which Waa ootered with bowl dflta of every abut and angular masses of i<ook detached from tho mountain by volcanic Action. "Hero Is our ammunition," said tho captain. "Imitate ma " He began at opoo to roll the stones to the edge df the prdolpioiv and he set the tamplo of balancing one on the rim, so that a child's hand from behind could send it crashing down. To show bow efficient them would be, he sent oue rook over, and the men breathlessly watched it as with increasing rpwxl and irresistible force it tore and crashed t J tho bottom, plunging over and against the opposite side. "Bakes alive!" exclaimed John (Hyde. "Ono of them stones would sweep down a regiment as a ball does ninepins.'' "Bomember, captain," said Howard inxioualr, "that my sister and Louis Kylo and his sister are with the out lawa We must not hurt them. " "I havo not forgotten. We must watch out for them '' "But what if they wait till dark?

"They will start no Area tonigl*, Kushat," said Henry to biß companion. 'This most be my opportunity. " "To do what?" she asked. "To attempt tho ruaoue of the prison ers. " "You would enter the camp?" "Yea" "But if you are caught K wttl be death," she said, with a shudder "I know that, but it will be death to him who tries to stop ma Stay you here, Kushat " "What!

" Henry Kyie and Kushat crept eo close that they could Bee in the indistinct light the groups of men standing by their horses, ana from the speaking they were able to tell exactly where Bou Km was. It was agreed between Henry and Kushat that they should not speak after they had reachod a point within hear ing of tho outlaws. They crouched .csi the ground waiting for developments, when they hoard Bouton ask: "Whero.is Louis Kyle?" ''Ho is har," said one ot the men. "Whoro?" "Har on the ground," replied tho man. "I thought it'd be better to tdo him up, and so I've done it " "Louis Kyle," began Bouton, "your friends have blocked my way"— "I am aware.of that, and am glad of it," replied Louis. "You will not be so glad when you hear my plan to defoat Brandon." "You think not?" "I am sure of it I htu~o sent through *0 men, and when daylight cxgncs Brau dou will find himself under my rifles. " "And will not you bo under his? You ■hould know by this time that Brandon has a habit of shooting back. " "Let him shoot But tell me—do yo« call him your friend?" "I do." "I will give you a cbanoe to test his friendship " "Oo on. I acu listening. " "I propose to send you through, so as to be with Font Robb when lie tho attack. My onlerw will bo to place you in tho advance,. Then let Captain Brandon shoot if he will," said Bon ton gloatingly. "Carry out your plan. lam not arc ing favors of you, and-I never expect to," said Louis Kyle, with a proud ring In his voice. Bern ton turned to two me* who were standing behind him and said: "Untie his feet, but keep his arms bound. Take htm through the pass, and if he attempts to cry out so as to attract Brandon's attention shoot him down at onoe. Do you both understand?" Tho mon said they understood very clearly, but they did not reply like men at all delighted with tho undertaking on hand. They advancod, and freeing tho young men's feet told him to Then they examined the ropes that bound his arms, and finding them looser than they llktxl they tightened them and told him to follow. During tho talking and the subsequent tramping Henry Kyle whispered to Kwthat: "They are going to take my brother through the pass. We must follow. " Thoy eould see tho men walking off with tho prisoner between them, and thoy could hear htiu ask: "Will ynu let rte speak with my sis ter and Miss Hlanchanl? This may be my last chance." "We do it, " repyed one of tho men brutally. "If yo<iwant<-d any fa vors, you'd rater ask Bouton." They went on again, and when they were 60 yards from tho camp Henry Kyle and Kushat were on their f«« and aftor them. The with thetr prison er walked fhsf, ihrmgh tlA> rWlfl •'as rough and the path if) dark that tho hand oould not be soon before the face. Thoy hud gone over half the distance and were just abreast the place that Captain Brandon had made so terrible by daylight when Donton's man sesiui to halt and one «f them asked: "Didn't yon hewr'a noise as if we wus fullered?" They were nearly tlirrmgh tho pass, and Kushat was about to ask Henry if the time for action had not como when, fjulrk as a flash, ho bounded from her side and with his uplifted rifle knocked N" o. 40 one ox tao mectaenseleaa, He was in tho ■at of raising his rifle again when, with a cry of alarm, the other man leaped to wue side, and drawing a pistol fired. So dear was he that the shot would have bean fatal had not Kushat, with the ■apkl spring of a mountain lion, thrown t«?lf on his arm and sent the shot into earth The nest instant the second oatlaw was down and forever lndiffer aut to Bouton and his plans. Before l«-<al* Kyle could comprehend what had happened a knife flaslved, and the rope feat bound iiis an;w< fell to the ground "Follow me," whispered Henry, seie ing his anii Who are you?" "I am yonr friend, and once you call ed 810 brother, " was tho reply, with a aob at the close. "And you are still my brother," cried Louis, and he reached out his arms, for in the sweep of gratitude all the past of this brave though erring youth was for gotten. They were Just tlirough tho pass when a roioc demanded in low, stern ♦one* which Henry recognised as those of Forit^Robb: " Who gnoe there?" No answer was made, bnt • i the brothers, with Kushat be' .en •! em. hurried on. "AUUWIT, or I'll flrel" akoir -t Font Robb, now thoroughly "I am Henry Kyle, " replied t.'kO own er of that name. "Henry Kyle!" exclaimed Robb "Yes. Firo if you dare. I did not mean to bring you under my rifle. Font Robb, for once I called you friend. Yon must begin the struggle between you and me, and I will end it " "And what are you doing here?" ask ed Robb, who in his heart admired and feanxl the reckless and generous com panion of his past misdeeds. "I will tell you, and I want yon to carry the message to Bouton." While Henry was speaking he still kept walk iag on with Louis and Kushat till they reached the protection of a rock at the exit from the pass. "Let me hear." "Tell Bouton that I have left two of his gang in th« rift and that I have res cued from their hands my brother. Tell him that I defy tho bloodhounds he has put on my trail, and that one by ono they shall go down before my rifle. Tell him that I stood over the ruin of my father's home, burned down by him, and that I there swore that this earth was too small for Bouton and ma I shall follow him night and day, for henceforth 1 am sleepless, and the bal ance of my ill spent life shall bo used in making reparation to the innocent and bringing vengeance to the camps of the guilty. His end is Hearing, and I shall live to see it" This was said with a dramatic lnton- of voice that struck horror into the Muls of Robb and his companions. Ev ery ono of them felt that tho weather had become suddenly cold, and the bravest did not dare to make a reply. Though stiff from being bound and weak from anxiety and sleeplessness, the strength born of excitement kept Louis Kylo up and enabled him to fol low his brotheiyuid Kushat After some time of hurd climbing Henry came to a halt in a little depression on the moun tain side, where his horse and Kushat's were grazing. Spreading the saddlo blankets on tho ground he said to his brother: "You must be very weary. You havo yet hard work before yon. Sleep hero till daylight aad Kushat and I will guard you its tho eagles guard their J»oung." Louis followed this advice, and he felt again aa he had felt In the pat When his elder brother was his ideal uf all that was bravo and strong and hand soma The rising sun was flushing all the cloud* patches floating in tho upper blue and lighting up the crowns of the snow peaks wlten Louis Kylo woko from a refreshing sleep and saw his brother and tho Sioux girl standing with their tyooks toward him and talking in low tones. Kushiyt brought some dried meat from her saddlebag, and of this tho thiw mode u to tho brothers was the sweetest they had ever oaten When they hod finished breakfast, Louis laid hia haud ou Henry's shoulder and said: '' Lot us gt > to our friends. I»t us find Gag£aln Brandon." "I will pat you ou tho road and watch you till out of all danger," re plied Houry, "but do not ask mo to go with yon. I have sworn an oath, and when I have dono what lies before me I will come with you to father and moth er and ask forgiveness. Till then do not urge me, but yot a little longer let mo follow my own bent " "Lot it be as you say, Henry. I only wWhod others who loved you us much to be made happy by the chango that has oomo over Jjpu.'' •JTell them when you seo them." Henry was interrupted by a low cry from Kuslirti Hhe Irnd ascended an olo vution near by and wm watching In the direction of tho pass. "What do you see?" called Henry. "Tho white smoko of rifles I" The brothers run to whoro she stood, and looking toward the valley they could ■eo that a conflict wus in progress. "Captuin Brandon is attacked," ex claimed Henry, "and he is holding {hem at bay. Now to tho rescuo! Now I may havo a chanoo to strike tho blow that I swore should fall 011 Bouton's head.
