The feasibility of the matter grew stronger, as she pondered It for a few moments, and at lsst she loosened tbe rein, allowing the animal to take bis own course.

He needed no urging, but struck into as fast a gait as tbs ground would permit, and at&ed very much as if he was making fbr some paint well known to himself.

Winnie noticed, as well as the darkness would permit, the lay of the country through which she was now pass-

hsd ridden about three hours, and 1ft became more opsin the mountainous features disappeared, the sandy hills and rolUag ground of a prairie taking its place.

Tbe horse slackened his pec* gradually, finally halting on a slight rise of ground.

Winnie looked si^at her. It wss lighter here, and she could see dimly the far-reaobing hills outlined against the aky.

Tbere waa no timber ia sight now: she had l«n that behind, and gradually an the truth forced itself inkling of tne trutn force* tteeii upon ber mind. "I must be on the prairie," she thought, "and If so I am oil my course,

With one haod Winnie grasped her revolver, and with the otber gathered the reins more firmly together.

A moment of suspense fallowed then a white borse, surmounted by a gigantic I figure—the figure of a flssbless, grinning skeleton, partly shrouded iu a huge I cloak—seemed to rise from the ground, scarcely fifty yards distant.

A strange phosphorescent alow radi-

Did it mean by wav inn its hand tbat I should go iu tbat direction? At tbe best there is no choice I may as well go one way as another.1"

Tbe horse trembled in every limb with fright, but made no attempt to run. Winnie stroked his neck gently, and soothed him with ber voice, and then heading him in the direction tbe skeleton had indicated, set off at a gallop through tbe darkness.

It was a very pale face that she carried into the "Cumberland," an unpretentious log shanty situated on a swift running little stream. Here the overland stage stopped to change horses and drivers, and taere was generally a little knot of hunters and trappers in tbe barroom, playing cards and drinking the frontier whisky from the dingy little bar.

Half a dozen were collected there as John entered, after leaving Madge in another room, and iu the uiidstof them was the driver, giving a vivid account of tbe danger tbey bad passed through,

tbat any opening and the bravery he had exhibited, wbicb, in all probability, had saved tbe whole party from beiug murdered, and wound up by offering to conduct them back to the place aud rescue the handsome young lady if she was anywhere about.

Border men are always ready for anything in tbe shape of adventure, and in ten minutes the bar room was empty and they, astride of m-:lesand mustangs. and armed to tbe teeth, were 1 scouring baek alongtberoute the stage] had traveled.

Walking alowly and examining the ground critically as he went, he baa proceeded but a short distance before bo came to a conical rock several feet iu diameter.

He glanced ap eagerly from the pa per. About a hundred yards to the south waa a tree tbat answered the description, with the exception of tbe chip mark, but the distance was too great for bim to distinguish tbat. He fancied, however, be saw a slight blotch upon the bark "It must be tbat I am upon the right track at last," he thought, while aglow of satisfaction lighted up his face. "A few moments at tbe longest will decide."

Tbe place where be now stood would not have been visible from ady point except one, till directly upon it, being surrounded by rocks ana thickets of timber.

Hastily cramming the papers into his pocket be started on a ruu to where be had left his borse.

It was but a minute's work to unteth er him and vault upon his back, and in five minutes he was galloping over the plaiu, taking a course tbe same as that of tbe flying fugutive, but at tbe same time gradually bearing toward her. so as to eventually intenhpt her in ner flight.

His horse was fresh, aud possessed both speed and botlom, and be flew like tbe wind.

He bad a chance to observe tbe pursuers as be swept over tbe swells of tbe prairie. Tbey were about a dozen in number, and were perhaps a mile be hind the fugutive.

He was rapidly closing in with ber now, and scarce a hundred yards separated tbem. He was partially behind her but be could see that she was a girl yet, in years.

She was mounted on a noble looking

Her hoise was flecked with foam, and was panting laboriously, while tbe sweat dropped incessantly from tbe saddle girth.

Preston saw this while bis borse made a single bound. At tbe same instant

tbe girl stooped slightly in ber saddle, and when she raised herself

Her brown hair, long and wavy, hung to ber shoulders her face was flushed with excitement, and a dangerous, de termlned light flashed from her eyes.

Preston baited precipitately, but the impetus of his speed bad carried him quite close to her.

"A short one, yes," Preston replied, I before. be stuck a couple of revolvers in The recollection of it all flashed upon their holsters, "I sbsll be bsck in time hint in the single instant he stood then,

"It is strange," he said, "what this

"Yes, or at least that was tbe way I interpreted it, and I concluded to follow tbe way ha indicated, as I bad no choic# but the horse got bewildered, and in tbe darkness, and without any guide, it was impossible to keep him in one direction. "Had tbe sky been clear I should have bad no trouble. It seemed to me tbat I bad traveled twenty miles when day broke, and as the borse was in need of rest I determined to stop awhile at all risks. "I bad been baited three-quarter* of an hour, when, chancing to look up I saw at least a dozen horsemen not more than a quarter of a mile distant, and coming toward me. I was confident tbey were the road agents from whom I had escaped, and I lost no time in mounting my horse and getting onf of their way. "They saw me as soon as I started, and inatantly put their horses on tbe run, bus owing to the rest aud grass mina was able to distance theirs for a short time, and then tbey gained slowly-

They rode rapidly along in silence for a few minutes after this Preston was wondering where this beautiful woman got tbe physical cour age that was so scarce, ana yet so desir able in woman.*

He glanced at ber as he rode by ber side. Her face was all tbat be remembered it, and tiiore, for be bad not noticed so particularly tbe thoroughly womanly and spiriluette look tbat waa visible there, and tbat constituted half ber beauty.

Tbe features were regular, and delicately chiseled, even beyond most worn-

It is not I more than four or five miles farther I now, but I am very much afraid that he will give out before we reach our destination."

Poor fellow," said Winnie, as she listened to his labored breathing, ''be has bad along run. But if worst comes to or be ha no a a iv again." "They shall not take you at all," Dick said quietly. "If worst comes to worst, as you say, you must mount my borse, and with him you cau easily escape and meanwhile! will hold them check." "You shall not endanger your life to save mine," she said firmly. "I should never mount your borse and leave you to do tb9 fighting. You are risking a I good deal now for one an entire stranger to you, and I shall not repay your kindness by leaving you to meet the danger."

Her borse stumbled as she spoke, and staggered painfully before he could

He dropped his rein, and reaching out lifted her from her seat and drew ber to him.

His horse paid no attention to the double burden, but kept on at a bfsk pace.

Her own borse felt tbe difference, however, and taking new courage kept up without difficulty.

The road agents witnessed tbe change, and argued favorably for tbem, and with a wiid shout they increassd their speed.

But tbe pursued held their own now, and tbey soon entered upon tbe rocky ground. "We are almost there," Dick uaid, and I think we shall reach it without mishap. It is a narrow passage between walls of rock, and leads into canon. The entrance is gusrded by a hui bowlder, and once behind tbat we will have a very favorable place for our defoooo.**
