hand upon tbe lock of her rifle with a peculiar firmness. "I will not be trailed as a thief and criminal."
Elsie, with burning eyes, glanced cautiously at the right and left, and also at the re&r an she moved on through tbe woods, and lucky it was for tbe spies that she did not get a glimpse of them.
Her spirit was aroused, she felt insulted, and a just indignation burned in her affectionate heart. Her rifle would have spoken as her protector and indicator bad she seen jnst then either the ugly head of Stephen Kendall or the Delaware dwarf.
She reached tbe cabin without getting a glimpse of any human object. Her godmother bad been told of the return of Lee Clinton, and tbe matron while in full sympathy with the maiden felt no little concern as to the result his coming.
She could not advise Elsie. Hepara tion of tbe lovers seemed to be tbe only safe course, and she knew the will power of the girl too well to expect for a momeat that she would vielrl to any influ once, but that of ber Justifiable love for young Clinton.
Tbe first question Elsie asked after crashing tbe threshold was, whether or not Kendall had been home during the absence of herself.
The trapper had not put in an appear ance. The girl, believing that plans would be laid to kill her lorer, resolved not to be thwarted if it was in her powei to reach the point mentioned for tbe meet ing.
She told all that had happened to Mrs Kendall, who remained thoughtful and reticent. HUe atood between ber husband and adopted daughter, and while duty called her in one direction, fear prevented action.
Elide wn* glad she did uot advise, for she was In nu mood for counsel if it was other than to go ahead, though flainesof fire flaxhed in the way.
The afternoon wore away slowly. Sun set came, and Htephen Kendall had not returned to the otbin.
Klsio walked «pwu to the bluff, aud wa*« glad to tind her canoe undisturbed. Lingering stftont the spot awhile, she fitted hocxiiie for action, was action In a
tragic manner necessary, and just as the IK shoved the bark into
pal iTof twilk
(ht settled over the river, she the water ana ap
plied the paddle. She kept close to the Eastern bank, for the moon hung in the sky, aud the shadow was preferable to the strong lights.
The stars Anally began to appear, and EIhIo was actuated to extra ett'ort. A dozen yards had not been pawed ovor, after tue renewed exertion, Insfore tho girl was startled by a voice at her right, and the sound of the splash of a paddle.*
A canoe shot out from a darkened spot, and intercepted her canoe. The two crafts cjuno together with something of a shock, und the next instant tho uirl found herself in the power of her god-father and Minsi.
T»M| Unl'iuMtm* Kn»» and then wrenched tho paddle from her handn. "Qniot, Elsie," the brute of a man said to hi* ward "you are not to be harmed —only to bo savod a little trouble. I will meet the prowling thief, Clinton, in your stead."
With these words Trappor Stove drew the light shawl from tho canoo, where it hud fallen from tho uiaidon's shoulders, then suatehing her hounot.ho placed the articles upou himself, the dwarf holding the two canoes togother.
Elsie was a'most Hjxxvhlcss with rage. ler plan was thwarted. What sou Id she do to save Lee? Could she not warn him of danger by crying out?
She Itegan a shriek which was pur(xiacd to le loud and prolonged, but the tlrst Hound had ttcarcoly lelt her lips when the hand of the trapper was pressed upon her mouth. "None of that, girl I'll gag you if then? i» another attempt to make a noise."
Tho hand was removed, and a cry followed thsvt carried tho mint back to the lips like the clapping of a trap-door. "Tie her bunds, Minsi. There's no other way."
The struggle began. Kendall held heaheadina strong grasp —held her so rigidly that breath could Hcarceiy le obtained, and tho dwarf bound her hands securely behind her tack.
This done, a soft bark scarf that the I via ware wore was bound over Elsie's mouth. "Take her back to tho bluff, Minsi, and lvo her liberty. Mind you, redskin, do er no harm, and give her back her gun."
Tho Indian turned the girl's canoe down stream, and rowed quickly away, while Stephen Kendall started to meet l/y Clinton, In the guise of his ward.
Elsie remained passive, for it was not In her power to escape tho position. She ur*»d nothlug for hentelf, but what would befall Lee? Kendall was as sly a* a ontamount, and the unsuspecting lover would likely fall a prey to the demon's work.
Minsi ran the «a»oe directly to tho l»aso of the bluff, and the wonted land-lug-place of the girl, and Elsie stepped ut ujHri irttt fir ma,
Tbe dwarf carried her rifle a few vards awsv, and laving it down, returned and removed thel»audagefrom her month.
Next he slipped a sharp knife from his belt, and cut the thongs upon the maid* en'* hands.
KS*ie bounded Uke a panther for her gun, the instant her hands were free,but ..cu wlte had laid hold of it there was no object near to empty its content* upon.
Minsi had vanished.
CHAPTER V. just jkojonatiox.
Elsie did nt remain long at tbe spot where she landed. So soon as she discovered that Minsi wax out of reach, the girl shoved the canoe out into the river again, and start* ih! put ream.
IVrltap* fthe cooht get hack in time to l«o of aid to l*e, at least she could try. The maiden used ber paddle as she had never used it before. AU of her physical strength was bent upon the stlek, and the light skiff cut the water *itl» wonderful raplditv.
The l«eod ws»wc*m*ly reached when Wi»le espied a canoe upon the river. She was cW to the banc at the time, and r«w*ped being observed herself.
It took but a minute to reveal tbe fact that it was Kendall upon his return. The girl rwaotv«d at onee not ti»l«tlMt pw^enc** 'je kn«»wn. Hut to watch Iter g**Ma?fcei for a time.
After tbe canoe had passed, Elsie folider cover. Presently there came from tbe flats
id passed,
lowed, keeping well under COT sntly tbeL the hoot of an owl. Kendall checked his bark, and gave the cry of the nighthawk.
The girl understood the signal. Minsi bad discovered the trapper, and used tbe means mentioned to let Kendall know where he was.
Tbe wily woodaaan turned his bark shoreward, and Elsie, seeing the move, drew her canoe deeper into the shadow, with a determination of hearing the in terview if one took place.
It would be useless to attempt to find Lee, then, and perhaps she might learn something by.evesdropping.
Landing, the girl crept cautiously along down the bank until she beard footsteps, and then stopped to listen.
Tbe Delaware and Kendall came together but a few feet from where Elsie was ensconced in a low growth of shrub-
woodman was first to speak. He asked concerning the girl. Minsi told what had transpired bow be had carried out all the orders, but continued, that he had seen the girl go up tbe river again in her canoe.
Kendall expressed some astonishment at this, but added: "It will do ber no good, Lee Clinton is desd at tbe bottom of tbe river."
A cold chill ran over tbe maiden, and she bent forward to catch what followed "The white man was so blind in his love that he did not detect my disguise until I bad bim by the throat. One blow with my tomahawk settled the business, and I tumbled the thief into tbe water, and watched that he did wot cotnc to the surface a second time. "We are rid of him now and forever, Minsi. Come to tbe cabin in an hour, want to see you about another affair You must look after Red Wolf."
The Delaware bowed and the two separated, Kendall going back upon the river.
Elsie caught the bushes to sustain her B©lf. "Dead, dead," she sighed, the tears streaming down her faae, "My Lee dead?" If it be true, then I am thy avenger. It shall be life for life—two for one. Minsi and Kendall shall both see what the rifle of a girl can do
Elsie bethought herself just then of tbe dwarf perhaps he had not left the spot if not be never should.
She crept out of the bushes and began a search for tbe Delaware, but that individual was nowhere to be found
Almost frantic with grief she at last went back to her canoe and moved homeward.
I hope Red Wolf will come to me soon," she muttered. "He will know the facts and will aid me.
A thousand ideas turned the stricken cirl's brain. She was scarcely herself. jeo Clinton was the bright star of her existence, her hope, her love, her all without him she felt that life would bo but a blank, and the thought that his jrecious life had been taken by her godathcr—one who should guard and protect, aroused her English blood until no step would be too desperate in the way of merited punishment.
She left her canoe in its wonted place aud wont to the forest cabin. Near the door'she stopped and listened.
Kendall bad returned, and through tho ojen window she heard his voire very plainly but he was not speaking of the night event. Indeed Elsie knew very well that he never would speak of that to anyone save the decrepit, red ally, and Cyrus Fielder,should theangular man appear again.
The girl halted but a little time near door stood .partly ajar. rwDlilSiff^ It wide open with slam, she sprang iuto the room with such look of anguish aud frenzy upon her face that the matron started liadc in alarm. "Elsie, what is the matter? What has
happened?" sho cried, advancing. Happened, mother! Everything has happened to blight my life, to make me wretched the rest of my days, to make mo revengeful and desperate!"
Tho girl's faco was white as snow, and her lips were pressed closely against her pearl-like teeth. 'What is it, dear tell mo what terrible deed has been done—what has stirred you up in this manner?" Mrs. Kendall pleadoa. laying her hand upon the shoulder of the maiden. "Ask that monster," Elsie cried,turning upon Kendall with flashing eyes. "Hold, girl! No talk liko that beneath tuy roof!" the trapper exclaitned, pringing to his feet and clinchlag his flsts." "lleneath your own roof is just where shall talk of your crime, for you area murderer—a cold-blooded inurdorer."
Kendall sprang forward with an oath, but he stopped suddenly, as the muzzlo of a rifle came to his breast.
Stor, Steve Kendall I do not value our life—indeed, I have sworn to take and another move will end your treacherous existence here. Stand back, or I shoot."
The trapper stepped back. Ho knew that there was no trifling with the girl at that hour. "Now hear me," tho maiden continued. "In going up the river to-night, to meet Lee Clinton, I was captured, bound and gagged by two villains that uisn thero is one and his better, a Delaware outcast, the other. I was robbed of my shawl and bonnet, and with those upon his small head and shoulders, he met Lee in my stead, and before the dis-
uise could be detected, in the darkness, was dealt a blow upon the head with a tomahawk, and sunk in the Wabash, dead!" .......
Tjoo
Steve Kendall gasped in anuu^mmf. At first his words were incohJtont. bttt. finally he found breath to artfeulate: "It Is a lie!" "Then you are tho father of it!" Etsfe returned, passionately, "for I heard you tell all of the particulars to Minsi, not an hour ago."
Kendall was nonplussed. "Only a trick," he said, in a changed voice, "I knew you were near and told the story to prevent your going to meet him."
KNie grasped at the hope and«lowered her rifle. Trapper Steve accomplished his p«rpose. With a pautber-like leap be caught tbe barrel of tbe weapon, and wrung it from the hands of his ward. Forcing the (lint from tbe jaws of the hammer, lie threw the stone out of doors, and dropped the gun upon the floor. "The catamount!" he cried. "You are unarmed, and ft is my tun* to talk. Whatever I have done I hold myself responsible tor. not to a silly girl, bat to myself, as I have no other governing power, and if that prowling thief is dead hegwt no more than he dewerved. I shall bare no more of your chin, Miss— no more of your threats. Obedience and respect are the means through which you ma cnunt npon safety. If my hand# are crimsoned, they can add to the stain, sad will, if comes to the ism*. No more from you to-night." •3f bosom of the enraged gin rose and W wild mtton. r-Hf the words that had been *i *i

The matron spoke feelingly, and the words bad a subduing effect. Elsie kissed tbe band that clasped her own, and said softly:
I will go, mother, but I must redress the wrong of this night first." tor Mm gather he believed that death to one ur the other of tha contending parties would certainly follow if tbe two remained together, and the cunning of the trapper, and his desires to bo rid of the girl, she felt certain would enable him to come off conquerer. The separation with Elsie would be painful the journoy across the great forest to civilization perilous but notwithstanding these, she in her heart felt It best for the girl to leave the oabin home.
The two talked until a late hour and were undisturbed the craven did not show himself.
It must have been past midnight when Mr*. Kendall and tho girl retired, During the evening the young huntress adjusted a new flint to the jaws on the hammer of her rifle, and placed her bow and arrows with that weapon.
She went to bed in the little room, which was her own, but after the light wss cut and she believed the god-mother asleep, she took her blanket and pillow, in connection with the weapons, and crept up into tho narrow loft.
If Kendall attempted any silent action under the cover of the night, she purposed to thwart his plans.
She laid down to rest, and wearied and grief stricken, she at last fell asleep. The repose was not of long duration. A step on the outside of the cabin was sufficient to awaken her.
In an instant Elsie was wide awake and upon her feet. She heard the tread again, and believed that more than one pair of feet was moving upon the sod near the door.
Quietly she moved a couple of tbe broad shiakesof the roof, and formedan opening of sufficient size to allow her head to pass through.
Tbe position in which the opening in the roof was made could not nave been more favorable.
The heavy shadow of a tall tree with dense foliage fell upon the roof at that point, ana when the girl's head protruded it could not be seen by those below in a stronger light.
Elsie quickly counted five human forms beneath her. A closer inspection showed four of them to bo Kickapoo Indians, and the fifth tbe cabin owner.
The girl could not help but smil& "Kendall has found me more than a match for his lion-like self, and called in aid." she mentally said. "I wonder how be is going to manage the affair."
Whispered words checked ber soliloquy, ami she bent ber ear to listen to them. "She must not be harmed at the cabin," Elsie heard the man say, "hut when you get ber to your camp yon most act as circumstances require, out don't let her get back here again." "Then I am to be carried away cap tive," the maiden whispered to herself, as a smile again swept her face.
She bent to listen once more, as one of the red men began speaking. "But the money white brother offers money where is it?" "It ts In tbe cabin. I will enter first, and lay a bag of gold upon tbe table yon demand admittance: will pretend to be mad, but yield to your superior force. Yon capture the girl, and then take tbe gold as you leave," "That is good." "Then are yon ready, to act "All ready?**
Just then there came a rap on the door, and Mrs. Kendall cried oat: "Who Is there?" %£, "I—Stephen—let me In."
The matron arose and obeyed tbesnsnKeatli?? closed tbe deor, but did not bar It sj i.
TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.
glancing in that direction, she caught a glimpaoof the dwarf. Darting to the side of the room, Elsie caught up a bow. and set an arrow upon it in a twinkling of time. Then there came a howl of pain from the door—the feathered shaft had pierced tbe deformed Delaware.
Stephen Kendall sprang forward, but not in time to stop the girl's movements. A second arrow was upon the bow—thestring was drawn taut.
One glance into the burning eyes of the girl showed the woodman that delay was death, and with one frantic bound he cleared the threshold, and disappeared in the darknesa.
CHAPTER VI.
the kjckapoo quartette. "Elsie what have you done?" cried Mrs. Kendall as soou as ber husband had disappeared from the house. "I have intimidated the murderer the girl returned excitedly. "He saved his fife bv his dexterity." "And "will have yours to pay for it, tbe god-mother answered "He can do as be chooses, it matters little to me now. Without Lee I am nothing but a girl of the forest with nothing to live for." "You will feel different after the fever of your excitcment wears off", Elsie, but vou must avoid Stephen for a little while he is enraged, and will take your life if you provoke him further." "Mother, hear kne ouee for all shall not avoid the murderer of my love I fear him not, and the whole aim and object of the future will be to avenge tbe death of Lee Clinton, and I will not rest until it is done. "Kendall is a murderer in cold blood he has sacrificed every title he held to life there is no law in these wilds to reach him, but the law of self preserva tion, and I shall be a law unto myself I swear by tbe Hesvens above my bead to puuish the wretch for the dastardly deed to-night."
Elsie had drawn ber figure to its full height, and her flashing eyes and crim soned lips made ber look supremely grand.
Mrs. Kendall knew the girl well enough to argue the matter no further, Closing tbe door and barring it, and placing the window guards in place, she turned to the maiden and saia quietly
Your father has a reason outside of your attack upon him, for wishing you out of the way. Gold would be placed in his palms were you dead, and for that reason I wish you to accept my council. "Your birth is a mystery to yourself and to me. Cyrus Fielder brought you to our cabin up tbe river when you were but a child. He claimed to me he had found you afloat upon the Wabash after the massacre of an emigrant family, but I think he told Stephen a different story, for he loft money and has made occasional visits, and left money each time. His last coming had something to do with Lee Clinton, and gold was again left. Iam not in the secret, but I believe that every means will be resorted to in the power of artful men, to keep you from the East and civilized society. "Kendall confides nothing to me I know- nothing of tbe secret of your birth more than I have told you love you, Elsie, but live in a position of
•othing more than I have to. love you, helpfulness. My advice is fly. You know the arts of woodcraft, you can sustain voursolf in tbe forest with your rifle, and my prayer is for you to go at ence, and forever."
"Where is tbe girl he asked, in a low tone. "In her room," waa the answer. "Hope she has quieted down a bit. The jade was in a fit of terrible anger when I left. I thought it best to leave ber alone and lather cool down."
Tbe wife did not reply, but she had her thoughts all the same. Mrs. Kendall, not at all distrustful, weut back to her bed, and tbe woodman began preparations for retiring also.
He raised a small trap of puncheon in the floor, and drew mp a little backskin bag of gold, and placed it on the cabin table.
All waa now ready for the movement of bis allies, and the red men acted promptly in answer to a cough.
The door suddenly swung open, and four Kickapoo braves sprang into the room.
Kendall made as if he would resist at first, but the flourish of a tomahawk subdued him. and the savages rushed for tbe small room.
They came out empty-handed Kendall was loud in his protests, snd at an instant when tbe matron was not looking, he pointed to the loft above.
Two of the invaders sprang up the ladder,"while a third lighted a torch and followed, half a minute later.
The trio came back without the girl A thorough search followed, but Elsi was not to be found.
Trapper Steve slipped the gold into his pocket, and left the cabin, and soon the tive were together again outside. "You must find her," Kendall said "She has escaped, but not long has she been gone. Trail her down ana take her away, and double the amount of gold shall be given."
He handed over the little treasure he carried, and the Kickapoos promised not to rest autil the white squaw was in their power.
The cabin-owner went back with grin of satisfaction on his ugly face, This was to prove the better way, after all. The capture of Elsie would oe un known to Mrs. Kendall—a thing the woodman would eertainly desire,
After a few cross remarks about the marauders coming for plunder only, and getting but little, the trapper locked up the house and went to boo.
The light of day was fully come.when Kendall awoke. He aroused himself quickly, and was the first one up.
Opening the front door, he sprang back with aloud exclamation of horror The four Kickapoo Indians lay dead at his step-stone, and four feathered arrows protruded from their breasts.
What did it mean When he recovered from his first shock a bit of white bark, fastened by a strinf to one of the shafts, caught his eyes/aik it bore these words: "Stephen Kendall, the same fate is awaiting you."
The cooin-owner tr'*ew pale as he read the edict, for he saw that it was the haud-wnting of Elsie, aud that ha arrows which had done the fatal wor were of different pattern than those in the quiver of his ward.
