fiY WELD0N J. COBB. CHA.PTEK XXVI tinned. It was fully two hours before the bandit band reached the ravine. The rain was now falling In torrents; the situation 'ras a most gloomy and uncomfortable one. Before them ran the river, broad and deep, and with a swift currant Ha! What lathis?" Danton'3 words announced that he had found a canoe. It was quite large, and evidently belonged to the Indians. Where It lay there werj marks on the bank as if a second canoe had recently been there. "The girl must have escaped by way of the rivm-," remarked Despard. "Yes, and she had help." "How do you know that?" "There are the footprints of two persons here. "Ha!" Both sniall aad apparently those of women." Then Bbe had a companion?" "Undoubtedly. One of them wore moccasins." "An IniUan?" "The Modoc princess." "Impossible!" "It must be White Fawn. " Desparti turned pale. Ho dreaded the vengeance of Shadow Enake and his daughter. Let us hasten," he sail. "And take the canoe?" "Yes." It will not hold more than half of us." Then 't the others cross over and getaway from the Indians as best they can." This plsn was consumnated. A portion of the band were rowed across the river. Despard, Danton md the others then dtrested the canoe to midstream and allowed it to proceed down the stream. They passed the cliff an ! the ravine in safety and soon left it far behind. Apparently they were saf'J from pursuit, and would not be followed in time to be overtaken. The Modocs, in the ravine beyond their foe In the fort, had not witnessed their departure. Somewhere down the river, in advance of them, they theorized, was the canoe containing the Modoc princess and their es caped captive, Inez Tract y. CHAPTER XX VII. TOT MODOCS The plots and movemsnts of Dyke Despard, the bandit leaJer, were fast apprrachlog a climax, as he was soon to learn in a tragic aid unexpected manner. The Indians whom his spy had discovered In the ravine were indeed members of Shadow Snake's tribe, and he had avoided a deadly conflict by his timely escape. The savages had located his recent camp, had tral ed him to the ravine, and later explored the cllfl, but found no trace of him. Darrel Grey had remained faithfully at his post in the fort When the rain and nils', obscured the outlaws be did not retrei.t from the tntrenchment, but endeavored to watch the cliff as best he could. Thus hidden by the gloom, the outlaws escaped without his knowledge. He was amazed when at last the mists H ere dispersed and he saw no trace of his enemies in the vicinity. Instead, a f core of dusky warriors were ascending the winding mountain paths. What did it mean? He was perplexed aad somewhat alarmed at the discovery. The savages seemed to be following a trail and were coming directly to the summit of the cliff. Sooner or later he n ust be discovered, and resistance against such superior numbers wor.ld be folly. Besides by this tine White Fawn iind Inez must have effected their escapeHe could not explain the mysterious disappearance of the bandits, but he observed that there was a possibility of leaving the fort and re ti eating before the Indians reached the ! ummit of the cliff Darrel began tocreepbe alnd the rocks in the direction the Modoc princess and Inez had pone. He saw, ;ome distance away,- a place where he might essay a descent to the valley, anc hastened to reach it. Suddenly he started in d smay. As if by magic, two stalwart savages had darted across his pat!i Before he could retreat or advance they had seized him securely. They gave utterance to a triumphant yell, and oegan to lead hi n toward the ravine where their chief was. Darrel faced his enemies boldly as thoy gathered around him. Shadow Snake listened to the rapid words of Barrel's captors in explanation of their researches. Tiiea he turned to the prisoner. "Ugh!" he ejaculated; "who is the paleface ? Shadow Snake did not evidently rocog- j nize Carrel as the man he had liberated i at White fawn s request al the outlaws' , stronghold in Lone anyon In his new j disguise, the Modoc chief did not suppose ! his present prisoner and his daughter's friend to te the same person. "I am the friend of the White Fawn," he said, si n ply. Tho chief started. I "Ugh! The pale-face knows the prln cess?" Yes." "Yon have seen her of late?" -"A few hours since. " 1 "Where?" Briefly Itarrel related ho he had met j the White Fawn. He to d the Snake that he had ont o saved h s daughter's uie. ne related now ncnac rescued Inez from Desrsird, and detailed the pursuit and the i.ttack on the mountain hat The old chief's eyes blazed fiercely as Darrel spoite I ospard snanio. "Ugh!" lie littered savi.gely. "The Black Crow shall be trailed Whither has he goon?" "I do not fcnov.-. " "And the Fawn?" "Escaped by the ravine to the river. "J Shadow Snake held a brief conference! with bis braves. ' "The Eagle shall be the friend of the 1 Snake," said the Modoc ch ef to Darrel. i "Together we will iind and punish the , Crow." Darrel showed the rattlesnake chain ! White Fawo b:td given him, and this ce- ; mented the conlidence and friendship of ! the Modoc braves, f-ha !w Snake at once went sro-md the cliff, and reached the ravine on t he other sid. "The canoes ari gone!" he uttered angrily, as they i-arae to the spot where Despard had reached the river. Indian sagacity soon formed a theory as to their inert, wmcn proved to be the correct one. Tho canoes they learned i had evidently been taken at intervals. "The Fawn went first w th the pale-' face maiden," explained hta !ow Snake. "Why do you think so?" Darrel ventured to Inquire. "Because the boat was pt shed Into the water as an Indian would 'o it, and tho paddles were used at the ilde to aid its progress. The Crow has go ne In pursuit. Some of his men were taknn across the river." "Why?" "Because there was not .room enough for them tn the canoe." ! Shadow f-nnko gave rapid orders as he j arrived at thes. conclusions. Ho divided his band, and sent half of them in . pursuit of the outlaws who had crossed : the river. With the others and Darrel Grey he started down the banks of the stream. j Meanwhile the ob.'ects o:' Darrel's so-' 'icitnde, White Fawn andMner, had met with home exciting adventures. The Indian" maiden and her chaige had manay ad W roaoh. the ravine la safety niter ,

leaving Darrel Griv. Thoy had observed the canoes, and White Fawn selected one of them. She knew that the rlvei led to some settlements, and for tho prosent her only thought was to place Inm; In a position of safety. The rain made their situation extremely uncomfortable, but White Fawn resolutely pliod the paddles, and they made swift progress. It was not until after noon that any Incident occurred that in any way tended .to alarm them. At a Mint where tho river divided, as she 1 joked back, tho Fawn saw a canoe coming down the stream about a mile distant This caused her to hasten the progress of their own boat An hour later, in the distance, she heard the sound of shooting, and she determined to abandon the canoe Then I olio wed a weary tramp through the forests. At last, towards nightfall, they reached what looked like a mining settlement Then a small village oame Into view, and on its outskirts they came across a rather pretentious inn, deslgl ated by a largo sign-board as the Fair Play Tavern. - "We have reached a placo of safety," said the Modoc princess, as she designated tlin tavern. "You are wearied and pale See; yonder is a white so.uaw. Speak tc her. " A woman, apparently the landlord's wife, was visible at tho roar door of the inn. In a:i approached and addressed her. She to!d her briefly that she and her companion had lost their way, met with bandits, and wished to remain at the Inn all night The sight of money influenced the woman to agroo to give them shatter, A sigh of relief escaped tho lips of Inez as she found horself with White Fawn in a comfortable room of the tavern. She, however, expressod a deep anxiety for her lover's safety. White Fawn stated that with the morning she would return to the scene of their recent adventures A meal was served in their room, and Inez sat at the window gazing out at the front of the tavorn. She started and uttered a cry of dread as the liiflits from tho bar-room showed two new arrivals. At a glance she recognized libera as Danton "and Dyke Despard. CHAPTER XXVUI. AT THB TJLYIIRN. The two men who had Just entered the Fait Play tavern were indeed Dyke Despard and his evil accomplice, Danton. At the sijjht of tl em new terror and apprehension seized the timid Inez, and evei White Fawn looked anxious and concerned. Had they, however, known the true condition of affairs with the outlaws they would have been less fearful of their power to injure tnem. For retribution, swift and terrible, soemod to have followed tho bandits, and the arrival of their loaders at tho tavern was in the ntiture of a flight from their ene

mies. The caaoo containing tho outlaws had noBrly overtaken the fugitlvos. Tho Modocs had pursuod tho bandits. Despard and his men had been attacked by the Ii:c ians at a bend in the river. Shado'v Snake was their leader and Darrel 0 rey was among them. Before the startled outlaws cou d prepare tor a defense, a deadly hall of leadon bullets was poured into their midst. Instantly tho river beimmo the scene of tho greatest confusion and excitement The canoe, peretrated by the bullets, sink In midstream, and those not killed or wounded tried to swim to the opposite shore. Of thci? number only two escaped Despard and Danton and they were both slightly wounded. Of the others not one escaped the dre.id vengeance of tho Modocs. The bandit leaders gained the shore, evaded pursuit, and, an has been seen, reached the Fair Play Tavern shortly after the arrival of the fugitives. They entered the bar-room, seeking to evade notice, and passed into tho anteroom behind the bar. The landlord, who was tho banker, merchant and magistrate of the placo, followed thorn with no sign of recognition on his face. "Well, gentlemen " he began. ' "What! you don't know us?" said Danton. "Despi.rd!" he finally ejaculated, after staring a t them for some moments. "Exactly, and in trouble. See here, Marvin, we're In a bad box, and we've got to leave the country. " "How is that?" "Close the door and w. will tell you." The landlord did so, and Despard bogan speaking in a rapid, confidential tone. His words indicated that in tho past tho now presumably respectable landlord of the tavern had been a man as unprinci pled and criminal as himself. He narrated his recent advonturcs, and informed Marvin that he must shelter them for a day or two, and then provide them with horses to leave the country. "It's lucky you wore disguised when you came in here," said Marvin, "for the community are terribly aroused about your helping the Modocs in the attack on the waKon train. " Despard scowled and IooKe.1 disturbed. "Well, well, " ho said, impatiently; "c an you stow us away In a placo of safety?" "Yes. '116'"' "There's- a room yonder that no one can get to except througii here." "But if the vigilantes knew we were h 're and should search for us?" "There's a trap In the floor leading to the celliT and thence to the stables. How are the vigilantes going to know it?" "Because wo have many enemies on our trail, and will undoubtedly bu closely pursued. Bring us something to rat and drir.k, will you? We are nearly famished " Despard and Dauton retired to tho room beyond the one they wore In. "We're safe enough here," remarked the latter with a complacent glance at their comfortable surroundings Dcspar 1 surveyed the apartment critically. "Not If Ranger Ralph and that young scout Grey trace us, " replied Despard. "Where does this door lend to?" "To th(t out.-lde hall, I suppose. But it's bolted heavily on this side. " "I'm going to seo." Despard was some time operating the bolt whi'-h apparently had not been used for years. Ho finally slid it back in its socket and opened It cautiously It led, & Danton had suggested, to a hall that ran from tho upper to tho rear portion ol the house. Despard seemed determined to understand his surroundings, and to bo prepared for an escape under all contingencies, lie stepped :nto the hall, which wa In complete darkness, and closed the door after him. Ho saw that to attempt to leave by the rear of the house wot Id be folly if the place was surroundel. Ho cautiously ascended the stair a few steps. "If It romo to the worst we can retreat" h muttered. "Ha! What was that?" Distinctly from the hall above he caught thi sound of voice . He thrilled wildly as ho recognized them, for they were thou of Inez and White Fawn. "Return t) the room," the latter was saying. "But ev ry moment wo dolay is fatal, with that man In the house. "The Black Crow can not know that we are hero," responded the Indian maiden. "He wili soon learn of it. Let us fly." "And be pursued and overtaken by him? No, we are safer here. Return to the room, and I will find out our true peril. " "Then : bo the landlady," urged Inez. "If she will provide us with horses we will leave at once " "Bo it so. I will return soon." The eye) of tho outlaw chief gleamed triumphal tly. Tho fugitives ho had abandonee as effectually escaped were under the -ame roof. He must dovlsj a plan to secure Inez and tho diamonds at ome. The Modoc princess was about to descend the stair s She mu t not discover him yet Despard : Cently retreated and cautiously re-entered the room where Danton wiu Ha starWa. ij'ae d!4 .a

Danton stood by a table pale and alarmed. Confronting him with drawn revolver were two men. Their backs wore to Despard, and they had not noticed his entrance, The outlaw stood spellbound as ho recognized one of them as Darrel Grey. The other revealed himself by speaking at that moment "Jim Danton," he was saying, in a low, determined tone, "if you do not Instantly toll us where Dyko Despard is I will kill youl" It was the outlaw's bitterest enemy who spoko Hanger Ralph.

CHAPTER XXIX. A VILLAIN'S TRICKPH. The toils w.ro fast closins? in upon the heartless persecutors of the beautiful and innocent Inez Tracer, and In a flash Dyko Despard realized that a vital moment in all his plots had arrived. He know that a word to the rough but honest throng in tho bar-room of tho tavern would lead to his arrest, and a trial In which Judge Lynch would award him the fate of death by hanging How these two mon happoned to meet at tho tavern how thoy had managed to ponetrato to this room he could not surmise. Even Danton, terrified nt tnclr sudden appearanco, did not notice Despard's return to tho apartmont For a moment the outlaw chief seemed about to draw a weapon and spring upon his unsuspecting foes. Thou his eyo flashed fiercely, as a surer and more silent means of disposing of them came to his mind. Marvin had told him of the trap-door leading to tho cellar. As his eyo fell upon the floor, he noted that both of the newcomers stood upon that portion of it which comprised the trap. Suuk in tho floor at the extreme edge was a small bolt To ("raw this back meant to release tho trap-door, Dospsrd doubted not He determined to boldly risk all on operating It, to tho disaster of his foes. He stepped forward cautiously, ills hand reached the bolt There was a creaking sound. Ranger Ralph turnoi quickly, but too lato to avert the disaster. The door fell with a crash. Both men were precipitatod into tho gloom and darkness of the collar. A low cry or malignant triumph escaped Despard's lips. "Baffled!" he cried. "Quick, Danton, the lamp!" His companion brought the licht to the trap. Despard peered eagerly into the dark void. Fully fifteen feet below, upon a rocky, uneven floor, lay two forms. Apparently the fall had robbed tholr enemies of sensibility. A ladder led from the trap downward. This Despard pulled up into the room. Then ho closed and locked the trap-door just as the landlord entered the room. The latter seemed somewhat excited. "I guess you were right about being pursued," he said. "Why so?" asked Despard. "Two men came into tlio bar-room a few minutes since who acted very suspiciously. " "Whore are they now?" "I don't know. They disappeared very mysteriously. " "They came here. " "What?" ejaculated Marvin, incredulously. "Yes, they came here. " "You knew them?" "As our deadliest foes. " "And they aro gone?" "Into yonder trap. " In graphic language Despard detailed what had occurred. "Can they escape readily?" he asked as he concluded his recital. "Not unless thoy know the way to a secret door to the stables. " "Then lot us ant Marvin, do you wish to mako a few thou and dollars. " "Of course I do " "Very well. In this house now there are two girls. " Marvin started. "How did you know that?" ho asked surprisodly. "I do know It Ono of them tho white one I lovo. The othor, an Indian girl, has her fortune in diamonds in her possession. " The landlord's oyes gleamed avariciously as Despard unfolded his plan Marvin was t act In Immediate collusion with them. "The men in the collar will be insensible till we are away," said Despard, "You get your wio to pretend to befriend the girls." "I'll fix all that, only I must not appear as being In your plot. It would hurt me among my customers." "We'll manago all that." Thus it was when, half an hour later, Inez and White Fawn stole from the tavern. The landlady had pretended to aid them but was only acting under orders from her husband. She told them to go to an old hut a few rods from the house, where she would bring them horses a littlo latter. Sho had loft a lantern with them, and the two girls stood silent and alone,' watching its flickering rays and anxiously awaiting the woman's return. A wild cry of dismay arose from Inez Tracey's lips, as tho doorway suddenly framed two forms. In a m-iment Despard and Danton came into view. The latter seized tho Indian '-'irl Despite her struggles, nor arms vcea quickly bound behind her. "You have not escaped us yet," hissed Despard, as he grasped Inez' arm. "Make no outcry If you value your safety." Paralyzed with terror, poor Inez stood pale and mute, shrinking In horror from tho triumphant face of hor enemy. "Danton," spoke tho outlaw chief, "you know your part Search the Indian girl for the diamonds. " White Fawn did not speak, bat her dark eyes flashed fiercely ou the man who had so wronged her. Dauton uttered a cry of delight as he drew from the dress of the Indian girl a small box, which be oxamlnod hastily. "The jewels?" asked Despard, eagerly. ".Yes." "Very well. Securo them safely and watch your captive. " There was a mocking smile on the faeo of White Fawn, despite her perilous situation. "Now, then," spoke Despard quickly to tho shrinking Inez, I have only a few words to speak to you. " "Miscreant! Will your ovil plot; and persecutions nevor cease?" "Not until you aro my wife. " "That will bo never. " "Wo shall see. I tavo your fortune, in the jewels and the doeds to the lands your father left you. "I care not " "But I covet your love. If you wed ine and go with me, yonder girl shall live. Your lovor Darrel (Jrey and your friend Ranger Halph are lying Insensible in the rear of the tavern. " Inez uttered a frantic cry' of grief. "All shall die, unless yon wed me Outside the hut is a magistrate. Agree?" Poor Inez sobbed bitterly. "Danton, kill the Indian!" Danton raised a gleaming knife. "No, no!" shrieked Inez, frantically. "I agren!" Almost at the same moment Marvin entered tho but. It was a strange scene a dread mockery a delirium of emotion in which Inez only knew that sho heard tho words that made her Dyke Dospard's wife to save her friends. Almost In a swoon, she was led from tho hut and placod ou a horso. Despard held the bridle and mounted another steed. "You shall hear from us soon, Marvin, " he said. "Come, Danton. " They had left tho Indian girl bound In ' the hut Ten minutes later titter si- j lence reigned over the scene. And In the near distance, Dyko Despard was i bearing away the beautiful Inez his I wlfo successful, apparently, at last in securing the fortune for which he had ko long and deftly plotted. CHAPTER XXX. CONCLUSION. Hold!" Like a shock the word sounded upon : the hearing of Danton. It was k s than ! nn hour after the departure fr. m the liljt, and he and his totopAUlou hjj4j

; gained a moonlit mountain path, and

were rapidly making tholr way from the vicinity of the tavern. Inez, weening bitterly, allowed Dos pard to lead her horso as he would, and ho urn not annoy her by speaking to her. although he kept a eh so surveillance ovor her eiory movement Danton had lugged behind, his hor o having loosened a shoo, lie had dls mounted and was about to ba-ton to rejoin his companion, when ho became conscious that two men blocked his way. Ono of I horn flashed quickly by him, and no thrilled a- he soemod to re og ni.o lu him his dreaded enemy, Ransrer lialph. The othor had gained his side so quickly that thev were fuco to face "Draw a weapon and I lire," spoko tho ominous voice of Darrel drey. Mo held a gloaming revolver in his hand, before which the era von Danton quailed In terror. "Fling your weapons in tho road quick!" There was no mistaking the stern menace in the young scout voice. Danton sullenly complied with his de mand. "You are my prisoner," spoko Darrel. "In a few moments I shall i;ako you back, a bound captive, to the settle ment Wo escaped from fin cellar we saw your victim. White Fawn. Iieturn at onco the box of jewels you took from nor." Danton drew the box from liis coat Then suddenly ho flung it far over the edgo of tho cllif. Darrel uttered a cry of dismay. "Kill mo if voa will. I have robbed 1 you of half your triumph," cried iian i ton. "Ha! I am not beaten yet!" ! Taking advantage of rarrol'H dismay I at the toss of tho jewels he had sprung luwarus mm. it was a laiai movement. for It startled the horso, and Danton's foot became entangled in the drooping reins. With a cry of terror, Darrel saw tho horse dra? lilm a few leet, and then send him crashing over the ediro of the ! urociplco. Danton hai met his doom in the rockI choked liver below! i A series of shots sumo distance ahead warned Darrel that his friend, Hanger lialph, had probably met Despard. A few minutes later ho came (ipor. them. Tho ranger had Indeed overtaken Despard, had torn his grasp from tho bridlerein of Inez's horso, and then a deadly conflict had ensued. Thoy had emptied their revolvers at short range. Neither had been seriously Injured, .lust as Darrel reached the spot, tho outlaw had darted up a steep Incline. "Wo shall meet again!" ho cried. "You have triumphed this time help!" The word gurgio.1 in his throat As ho readied the summit of tho eminence, a deafening detonation rang forth. ' Pierced by a hundred bullets, Dykt; Despard fell dead. He had run directly into an ambush of tho very Indians who had accompanied Darrel to the vicinity of Fair Play. A moment later Shadow Snake appeared. His vengeance wai complete his foo was dead, and the outlaw band of Despard was swept from the face of tho earth. Two hours later affairs had resumed a oulet aspect I no-, on rapt mod at again mooting Darrel, was conveyed by tho Modocs to a settlement farther down the river. Here Whito Fawn met her father, and here there was a tearful parting, for sho started forth with hor father's tribe to fin.l sonio trace of tho husband of whom she had been robbed by the villain DespardOne month later her grateful friends were happy to know that sho lit d found him a prisoner in a hostile tribe. They wero reunited, and returned with Shadow Snake to their old camping ground, peace being declared 'vith tho whito inhabitants of tho district Raugir Ralph relate ! a long story of his search for Inez, and the nxt day a visit was mado to tho valley where Dauton was killed, resulting in tho finding of the box of jewels Marvin was not punished for his sharo in Dospard's plot as nothing definite could be proven against him. Walford, tho aermit was found and a month later wa prosent at the marriage of Inez and Darrel. The happy pair removed to California, and both their old friends accompanied tlieiu. Often they see the bravo Indian girl who so befriended them Amid their happiness they never forgot these stanch friends of the past And amon ; thorn a' I, they reckon none more hiulily than tho intrepid scout who followed all their reverse form no s In the days when thoy sought to secure tho treasure of Lono Canyon the King of border detectives, Ranger Ralph. tuk ksix A Krof; on an Outlnff. In the early part of this summer wo had a sovoie thunderstorm, accompanied with a high wind, nbo it sundown. Tho next morning, on enteriug the sitting room, I saw an object on the carpet near the window of an unusual appearance, and presumed some inehad purchased a green rubber frog and pla ed it there for mischief. On a closer inspection I fotmd it was a live frog, whito belly, quite a dark-groeu body, and b'ack spot, blao'k stripes across the less, body three inches long, lie was very live y, and I found him perched on the low window still when 1 camo back with tho watering pot to secure my visitor.

He cou'd not bo accounted for except tho storm picked him t p over half a mile off lit least as neither the Littlo Miami nor the Ohio River, with no creeks between then-, and us, was nearer than that distance, and carried him to the floor of tho upper porch, when he hopped or was carried into tho room by tho storm before tho wl idows were closed, whMi I learn was douo after the fury of the storm had commenced. Nature's Realm Ingrowing Too Nalli, Charles B. Willlan-s, resident physician Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, writes to the .-cientilio American as follows: "I have noticed in several of tho lato issues of your valued paper some methods of treatment of ingrowing nulls. As I have had a number of cases como under my notice in dispensary practice, probably the course of treatment that we pursued may bo of interest to some of your readors. "In all cases, and even In several forms of Ingrowing too nails, where ono would do disposed to think tho only proceduro wouM be to cut off a portion of tho offending nail, together with tho matrix or hed of the nail, we resorted to the simple mot nod of packing the ingrowing portion of the nail with cotton.
