snowing against the lighter back grouad of sky.
"White men." he, announced, short
ly. "Come with me." At a brisk trot they rode out. the trooper lagging a pace to tho roar, the watchful eyes of both men sweeping suspiciously across the prairie. The two parties met suddenly upon the summit of a sharp ridge and Brant drew in his horse with an exclamation of astonishment. It was a pathetic spectacle be stared at a horse scarcely able to stagger forward; on his back, with feet strapped securely beneath
aad bands bound to the high pommel.
the Hps grinning ferociously, perched a misshapen creature clothed as a man. Beside these, hatless. his shoes barely holding together, a man of slender figure and sunburnt face held the bridle-rein. An instant they gazed at each other, the young officer's eyes filled with sympathetic horror, the other staring apathetically at bis rescuer. ".My God! Can this be you. Hampton? What doos It mean? Why are you here?"
Hampton. leaning against the trembling horse to keep erect, slowly lifted his hand in a semblance of military saluto. "Dispatches from Cheyenne. This is Murphy went crazy out yonder. For God's sake water, food!" "Your canteen, Lane!" exclaimed Brant. "Now hold this cup," and he dashed Into it a liberal supply of brandy from a pocket-flask. "Drink that all down, Harpton." The man did mechanically as he was ordered, his hand never relaxing Its grasp of the rein. Then a gleam
of reawakened Intelligence appeared
In his eyes; he glanced up into the leoring countenance of Murphy, and
then back at those others. "Give me
another for him."
Brant handed to him the filled cup.
noting as he did so the strange steadi-
troop who will volunteer to take them on. You need rest." "Not much," said Hampton. "I'm fit enough, or shall be as soon as I get food. Good Lord. boy. 1 am not done up yet. by a long war! It's the cursed
loneliness out yonder." he swent his
hand toward the horizon, "and the

his ragged coat, his hand on the dis

Brant reached forth his hand cor
dially. "That's true; you have. What's
more, if you're able to make tho trio.
there is no one here who will attempt to stop you. But now tell me how this
thing happened. I want to know the story before we get in." For a moment Hampton remained silent, his thoughtful gaze on the nearby vldettes. his hands leaning heavily upon the saddle pommel. Perhans he
did not remember clearly; possibly he could not instantly decide Just how much of that story to tell. Brant suspected this last to be his difficulty, and he spoke impulsively. "Hampton, there has been trouble and misunderstanding between us. but that's all past and gone now. 1 sincerely believe in your purpose of right and I ask you to trust me. Eithor of us would give his life if need were, to be of real serxlce to a little girl back yonder in tho hills. I don't
know what you are to her; I don't
ask. I know she has every confidence
in you. and that is enough. Now, I want to do what is right with both of you, and if you have a word to say to me regarding this matter. I'll treat it confidentially. This trip with Murphy has somo bearing upon Xaida GIHIs. 'ins It not?" "Yos."

Hampton wet his dry Hps with his
tongue, his breath quickening.
"And in that she was right," he said at last, his eyes lowered to the ground. "I will tell you why. It was the father of Nalda Glllls who was convicted of the murder of Maj. Brant "Oh. my father? Is she Capt Nolan's daughter? But you say 'convicted.' Was there ever any doubt? Do you question his being guilty?"
Hampton pointed In silence to the hideous croature behind them. "That man could tell, but he has gone mad." Brant endeavored to speak, but the words would not come; his brain seemed paralyzed. Hampton held himself under better control. "I have confidence, Lieut Brant, in your honesty," he began, gravely, "and I believe you will strive to do whateverls beat for her. If anything should happen to me out yonder. But for the possibility of my being knocked out, I wouldn't talk about this, not even to you. Tho affair Is a long way from
being straightened out so as to make a pleasant story, but I'll give you all you actually require to know In order to make it clear to her, provided I shouldn't come back. You see, she doesn't know very much nioro than you do only what I was obliged to tell to keep her from getting too closely entangled with you. Maybe I ought to have given her the full story before I started on this trip. I've since
feel any special interest In her at tho
I time, supposing she belonged to Old Glllls. but she somehow grew on me she's that kind, you know; and when I discovered, purely by accident that she was Capt Nolan's girJ. but that it all had been kept from her. I Just naturally made up my mind I'd dig out the truth If I possibly could, for her sake. The fact Is. I began to think a lot about her not the way you do. you understand; I'm getting too old for that, and ha-e known too much about women. but maybe somewhat as a father might feel. Anyhow, I wanted to give her a chance, a
square deal, so that she wouldn't be ashamed of her own name If ever she found out what it was. "About that time I fell foul of Murphy and Slavln there In Glencaid. I never got my eyes on Murphy, you know, and Slavln was so changed by that big red beard that I failed to recognize him. But thoir actions aroused my suspicions, and I went after them good and hard. I wanted to find out what they knew, and why those lies wore told on Nolan at the trial. I had
an idea they could tell me. So. for a starter I tackled Slavln, supposing we were alone, and I was pumping the facts out of him successfully by holding a gun under his nose, and occasionally jogging his memory, when this fellow Murphy got excited, and chasseed Into the game, but happened
to nip his partner instead of me. In the course of our little scuffle I chanced to catch a glimpse of the fellow's right hand, and it had a scar on the back of it that looked mighty familiar. I had seen it before, and I wanted to see it again. So, when I got out of that scrape, and the doctor had dug a stray bullet out of my
anatomy, there didn't seem to be any one left for me to chase excepting Murphy, for Slavin was dead. I wasn't exactly sure he was the owner of that
scar, but I Had my suspicions and wanted to verify them. Having struck his trail. I reached Cheyenne just about four hours after he left there with these dispatches for the Big Horn. I caught up with the fellow on the south bank of the Belle Fourche. and being well aware that no threat or gun play would ever force him to confess the truth, I undertook to frighten him by trickery. I brought along some drawing-paper and drew your father's picture in phosphorus and gave him the benefit In the dark. That caught Murphy all right, and everything was coming ray way. He threw up his hands and even agreed to come In here with me and tell the whole story, hut the poor fellow's brain couldn't stand the strain of the scare I had given hlra. He went raving mad on the Powder; he Jumped on me while I was nstoep. and since then
every mile has been a little That's the whole of It to date." (TO DK CONTINUED.)
