the object of his scare*?? His lips moved in prayer to Heaven for aid, as he moved along like a dark specter amid the lodges. Anon he would pans* and listen intently, hoping io hear a congh or a sigh or a spoken word to tell him of the presence of bis Jbved one. As he cautiously moved onward a vivid flash of lightning revealed to his eyes an object like a crouching form near a lodge in the center of the village. Dropping prostrate upon the wet ground he peered through the darkness toward the object, and eagerly awaited-the next flash. It came, and seated, upon the ground near the door of a lodge he saw the form of an Indian, his blanket thrown over his head to protect him from the storm. The heart of the young soldier beat with renewed hope as the truth burst upon him that ; the Indian was a guard, and that the object of his search must be In that lodge. The guard must be disposed of. Much aa he dreaded the shedding of human blbotl except in the line of duty on the field of battle, he felt that he must allow nothing to stand between himself and the success of his mission. Making a detour in order to approach the crouching, sentinel from the rear, he grasped his hunting knife firmly in his Hand and stole toward the unsusj pecting savage. In the darkness he i could see the silent form but s few feet distant, and gliding noiselessly as a serpent he in a moment stood over ■i his intended victim. Not a sound, not a j groan escaped the red man as he passed I from sleep into death, and raising the j flap over the entrance Brown entered) the lodge. He could see nothing in the | Inky darkness, and crouching low j upon the ground he waited for a light- j Ring flash. When it came it revealed j to him several forms lying wrapped in blankets about the lodge. Moving softly toward whore three' forms were lying under the. same blanket, he again crouched down and waited for the fitful torches of heaven to further guide him. The rain beat with a low. sullen roar on the lodge of skins, and the ground trembled as the thunders bellowed their way through the heavens overhead. It seemed an age ere the lightning again lit up the rain-soaked earth and created a sickly glare within the lodge, but by the dim light he saw the pale face * ; his 1 vc. She had raised .her. bead from it* pillow of skins, and the i soft blue eyes were gazing directly 1 upon him. In an instant he was beside her. and as he bent his head to assure her that it was himself and to caution hex against making any noise,-her antis glided about his neck and she softly j whispered: ”.v ! . d.vr'if’i*, I knew you would ! come. While praying to Heaven that . you might c>tne to my rescue a great peace filli d.ray soul.and I feltthat my prayer had been heard and would be answered, and' when the lightning eaUic I mw vour dear face In the gloom j He pres-sd a kiss on her lips and : whispered: “IVe must not lose a moment', dnrl- j ! lng.

A rope is .passed about my body and the squaw . i who lies next to rue is lying upon it." \ With his hunting knife he severed : the rope and they pro so l from the ] lodge. Moving silent as specters they I jtre.v-'rscd the village and soon reached t’-.e 1: rse in its place of concealment. A* they approached the animal gave utterance to a low w hinny of recogni- 1 t n, and it seemed to come ns a token ; of cheer to their anxious l^arts. “H e must use all haste, Abiding, for v ; v of your absence w illTKlvl to : 1 immediate pursuit.

The band which captured me were on the way to the ranch of a settler near the base of the San Mateo j mountains west of the fort to carry off his daughter for the sacrifice when , they heardny.pony's footsteps coming down the gulch,, and, concealing therasah c* near the trtil, they awaited i my coming.

even should you be missed 10-nlghA, they could not discover our trail in the darkness. Even now I am depending entirely on the Instinct of the horse to keep our direction, for not a landmark eon be seen in this pitchy darkness." “But they will know that my rescuer came from the fort, or that if I escaped unaided I would start back toward the fort, and should I be missed in the night would they not at once come in this direction in search of me?" “You are right, Alice. I had not thought of that Then, in a reassuring tone, he added: “lint do not feel the least fear, dear one, for we are mounted on a magnificent horse, and he is making splendid progress. We will surely reach the river by daybreak, and I think tho Indians would not go far without some sign to shpw them that they were on our trail. Rest assured that we will reach the fort in safety in time for a good breakfast" “I pray that you may be right, Ned, yeti have a presentiment that peril awaits us before we reach our home. I will try to banish the fear, which is no doubt a foolish one.” “Yon will laugh at your fears, little one, when yon are again safe in yonr home. Biit see, darling, the rain has ‘ almost ceased, and it grows lighter.” The clouds were indeed passing away, and soon the 6tafs glimmered dimly through the hazy atmosphere. On and on they sped across the desert, every beat of the horse’s hoofs making an increased distance between themselves and their Indian foes. On through the gloom of night into the gray dawn of morning they rode, j and just as tho first streak of sunlight : kissed the damp earth over the eastern ; hills they came upon the bluffs overlooking the Rio Grande at the point where they had crossed it, four miles ■ below the fort. ‘ “Here is the dear old river again,” he joyfully cried. “Now to ford it, and in an hour yon will be safely back in your father’s arms.” “Did father know you started after me, Ned?" she asked, as the horse

The affectionate girl gave .him a hug that almost lifted him from the saddle and lovingly said: “Oh! you dear, brave, noble fellow. Perhaps your action in coming upon such a perilous mission to rescue his daughter may have great weight in breaking i down pa pa's prejudice, and when he [ realizes that it was you who restored me to his arms" he may look upon you with favor and no longer oppose our hearts’ fondest desires.”.' ... ' “That has been the uppermost sub- ; jeet of my thoughts during the entire ; trip, bud I pray God that it may be as ; we hope." Happening to cast his eyes back over his shoulder his heart ceased for a a moment to beat and his blood ruu cold in his veins. A band of mounted Indians came sweeping down the bluff but half a mile behind them. . "My God. we are pursued," he cried, i striking the spurs deeply into the sides of the horse. "Cling closely, my loved L one, for it will now boa desperate ride for life." “May God in Heaven protect us," she murmured, as the fierce yells of the pursuing Indians reached their ears. The noble horse heard the savage cries of the pursm-rs, and seemed to realize the great danger that threatened his riders. Across the grassy valley he flew with almost incredible sj>eed, and a thrill of h<>pe, flashed through the young soldier's breast as he noted that each bound of the animal increased the distance between themselves and the savages. “We gained on them. Courage, my beloved, courage, and we will yet escape them. If xve can but reach the other side and gain the high ground, they may abandon the chase before 'getting; too near the fort.” “God grant that they may! Oh, tho e frightful, unearthly yells! They seem to chill mv blood," she said, clinging yet more closely to her lover. Without slackening his pace the ‘ horse dashed into the stream, but the water impeded his progress end the Indians gained rapidly upon them. Nobly the strong beast plunged against the swift waters which rose, to his ; breast in the center of the tream, but the current was strong and his progress was slow. At last be reached the other side and dashed up the bank as the Indians were urging their ponies into the water on the opposite side.

The steepness of the hill again j impeded the horse's speed, and when they reached the summit the Indians could be seen living across the bottom, still in mad pursuit. “Courage, my darling!” be again cried in an assuring tone. “Do not despair, for we may yet escape them. The fort can now almost be seen." “God will aid us. Ned, my beloved," she responded. “My lip* are moving in constant prayer for our deliverance." fro re coxrnrcHx] Ful.tleal V*.
