W rant find the ambulance anywhere along the Wolf.' CHAPTER XIL "Aim vrll, men, but Are linly." Before quitting the ambnlance and its precious freight Ellis had made such ex amination of the neighborhood as was possible in the thick durkness. and dis covered that they were close to the edge of a narrow, winding ravine with ab ruptly sloping banks, and it was in here that those sagacious mules had sought I shelter from the force of the blast. The ambulance was stauding on a veritable ridge, exposed t j the full fury of the gale, the slope to the rapid running Wolf just iu front, the ravine to the right rear. Shouting to the ladies to fear nothing, he had no difficulty, when aided by the driver, in starting the wheels, and the instant the vehicle was p-muuy turned into trio track or the storm it was blown backward down into the soft bed of snow, already thick and deep. Here, under the lee of the banks, the stont wagon was comparatively shel tered, for the top of the canvas cover was just a trifle below the general level of the prairie. The mules, startled from their fancied seenrity by the rattle of wheels and canvas as the ambulance was run down the slope into their midst, seized with oue of their unaccountable panics tore blindly away np the farther bank and out upon the storm swept level beyond. Then in the whirling cloud of snow Ellis bad remounted, shouted again a few encouraging words to the ladies within, assuring them he and his sturdy troop horse would have no difficulty in reaching camp and bringing aid, nrging them meantime to keep snugly bundled in their robes, and with Mrs. Berrien's brave voice and cheery "God speed you, aergeantr ringing in his ears, he rode gallantly away, forded the shallow stream at the mouth of the coulee and then, facing the gale, spurred forth upon his perilous mission. The driver and the already somnolent Pete, with what Was left of the contents of the depleted flask, crawled into the snowbed beneath the wagon body, rolled themselves into their joint stock of robes and blankets and prepared to spend a comfortable night. It was an old story to both. But, despite all the dnver's efforts on the way, the gale had forced them far j to the ngtit or tne main road ana those which paralleled it, the only ones at all familiar to the Twelfth, and when Brewster and his little squad reached the ford, along toward twoo'clock in the morning, they aought in vain in every ravine and break shouted, fired their carbines and sounded their trumpet, all to no purpose. Not an answering ciy rewarded their efforts. From Ellis' de scription Brewster knew that the ladies were so muffled in fnrs that within their canvas shelter they could hardly suffer greatly from the cold. He was assured that the driver and Pete were with them, also well provided with robes and blank ets, and that they were in no immediate danger of freezing; bnt he could not bear the thought of the long, weary Waiting, the dread anxiety, the dark ness, the isolation in all that howling wilderness. He could picture Winifred nestled in her mother's arras, wonder ing, wondering, as the hours dragged by, when, if ever, human aid would mm,', 1 com to tneir ritw.

"Tell somebody to bring my field ! ' glass," he added, as Murphy was about , ; to ride away. "If 1 had dreamed w : would have found nothing of the ainbu- j lane until this time. 1 never should i hav left it. Good luck to you now. corporal. Hide as lively as you can." Murphy turned promptly away, spur- red his unwilling horse thniugh" the ice into the black and racing waters of the Wolf and was presently following a lit tle break in the north side which led by a more gradual asc?nt to the prairie be : yond. "Now, men, one of you ride lack to ward the party at the ford, poke into every ravine to your left they're all full of snow: it may be the ambulance is so deep in the drift they could hear no i sound. If you find anything, the faint est trace, ride up on the prairie and ' circle your horse to the left. Morse, ' yon come with me." I "Beg pardon, lieutenant, 1 think Mur phy see's something now," said Morse, indicating tlie farther shore with a nod of his fur covered bead. Whirling eag erly about, Brewster was surprised to see his little Irishman, a hundred yards or so away, crouching low on his horse's ; back, still in the ravine and np to his girth in snow, and peering cautiously eastward, his eyes just level with the bank. Then he was plainly seen to sig nal. In an instant Brewster and his men were plunging into the rapid stream, crushing the ice that skirted the shores and bounding out upon the frozen ground beyond. Again Murphy held forth a baud a warning gesture, not a a beckoning one. "Keep down, keep j down." he sigualed, and wondering, the little party of troopers cautiously fid- lowed into the ravine. "What do you see?" queried Brewster, eager and agitated. "Upon my soul, sir, I wish I knew; but it's more like Indians than anything 1 can think of." "Indians? where away?" And with a wild fear at heart Brewster gazed over j the bank in the direction indicated. "Indians, and coining this way, sir. or i I'm a tenderfoot," muttered Morse, a i dulling in a tine flourish of heels as h man who had served in the Twelfth for j "I! '' And now Morse lay aKainst many a year. ! the hank pointing eagerly to a couple of "What on earth can they be doing so j olarl1 objects startlingly outlined ou the far south of the agency?

"My God, man! you don't suppose they've heard of the ambulance?" "They hear things quicker than we do, lieutenant. Day or night, calm or storm, those fellows can all around beat ns in getting news." "And they are coming from the north east, lieutenant," chimed in Murphy. "That means if they are from the vil lages near the agency they've circled around our people." Breathless the little party watched the coming dots. The stream bore to the ! northeast after a deep bend about half a mile away, and on the farther bank moving nearly parallel with the valley, j about a dozen dark objects could be seen moving at rapid loje, the springing, tire j less gait of the Indian pony. Ponies they j were unquestionably, and each with his rider. Every moment brought them ! nearer and nearer, until, as they spread j out in extended order across the level surface, it was possible to count their number, eleven; possible to note that every now and then somo one of the number in front or on the flanks would rein in suddenly and circle around and stop, as though examining tracks upon the prairie. "It is not possible the ambulance can have got so far over as that," muttered Brewster. "It is not possible that they can have heard of it in all that fearful storm. Why, Morse, it's madness to think of itl" "I don't know how far the team may have been driven out that way, sir, but the blizzard came from the northwest.

"Omit what may, men, we vo got to stand iwixt it and those scoundrels. Here, Murphy, lively now, slip back down into the val ley and ride for all you're worth to the ford and bring those fellows haok with you, every man of them. Tell them to keep under the hank and ride like hell. Off with you, now," And this time thorn was no roeall; Murphy was out of sight in a ttasli. I Nearer and nearer rode the savage horsemen, now aKut a mile away. Already Morse and his silent comrade had swung their carbines out of their leathern buckets, thrust a cartridge in i tho I'luuulxT and Khwi-iuhI others in the woven thimble, Hrvwstor never for an ' instant unit his gae, but hi hand had stolon hack and loosed tit flap of the holster at his hip. The movement of the Indians had pustlod hiiu; they were riding not as though moving on some point already determined, but rather a if searching, finding their way. Every now and then, too, some of their until bercantoredtotheedge of the hunk aud seemed to scrutinize the valley. "Snowdrifts are too deep and plenti ful in there, around that bend, sir. That's why they're up on the Jirairie," Brewster's heart seemed almost to stand still. All on a sudden the loaders swerved; tho blanketinl ridtcs could le seen tiending low aud over as they swung their nimble steeds iu circle to the right. Aud then, then, an instant more, and, tossing tho powdery snow all in a fleeoy white cloud, there came tear ing up out of the depths of some nnsceu slavery without a struggle. It was hard to repress the shout of joy that sprang to the soldiers' li. Then it wasn't the ambulance after all; noth ing but this frolicsome band of rascals that, after breaking awsy from th In dian boys the evening U'fore, had doubt less been driven U'fore th gale, de manding the sending forth of quite a party of the young men in search, even U'fore the storm had fully abateil. For a moment the troopers forgot their mis- sion as they watched the chase. Fresh i and unhampered by weight of any kind ; the scurrying band came sweeping along ; the edge of the distant bluff, following an active, mischievous leader and leav ing their jaded pursuers far behind. The Indian knows too much to chase a run ning horse; he leaves him to his own de vices, well knowing ho will more quick ly stop when uupursuod and can then more n'adily lie headed off and turned back to the ways he should go. On came the uuuble herd full tilt toward the elbow in the shallow valley, where a broad white streak told of deep drifted snow, and there the loader veered to the left and south aud would doubtless have stretched away at racing sjieeil on that course but for one young warrior on a duu colored pony, who with the s-ed of the wind came darting out across the level surface beyond, gainoly. skillfully beading him. Around went the leader once more in a wide circle westward, around the southennost edge of the fleecy drift, and then, with thtinderiug biKifs, the whole troop went Umnding away to the west without a living soul to interpose between them and the bald, rolling heights at the far horizon, miles and miles away. "Go it, pony! I'm glad to see a red skin doue for once!" was Morse's jubi lant shout And then, suddenly and sharp, "Good God! What's that, Lieu tenant? Look!" Not six hundred yards away, now, the little band of ponies, following their spirited leader, had smhieiily halted at the very edge of some dip or sink in the prairie that lay to the southeast of the snowy rift in which the troopers were crouching, still hidden, they and their horses, from the sharp eyes of the chas ing Indians. Then as suddenly, tossing mK with their scraggy manes, as though one accord, the nimble brutes whirled to the sonth, their leader in- with their long ears erect, with out- stretched neck and ea'er brayings, clat- j tered away in pursuit of the herd. ! Brewster knew them at a glance Ster- rett's ambulance mules. Indeed, the broken pole was still dangling between the two in rear ami bounding with them over the frozen turf. And that swerve, that sudden halt and turn to the south end. had cost the hand their liberty, Dartim? along abreast of them, but nearly half a mile away to tho south, the warrior on the dun colored pony had shot far out beyond them, and now, sweeping around in a wide circle t" hi right, rode between them and the broad wastes to the west, Two other In ! dians were circling in their front, bar ; ring the way to the low hills to the j south. Others still, straggling far out eastward, reined up ho as not to inter- I fere with the "rounding" of the herd. ' and In a moment or two more these three experts had turned their runaway property in wide sweep back into tho smiling tracu or tne sun, anil in a very ' few minutes the matter was settled; the ponies were sulkily trotting along the j bank Ix.-yond the bend, headed f,,r home j and hurd work again, with the amhu ! lance mules braying at their heels. Hero ! the younger Indians, the hoys, took j charge, and from the distant slopes, j from south and east ami from the prai rie to the went, the others eiuiie canter ing toward that sharp angle Inilf a mile away and gathered in eager cousplta tion about one who seemed to he their leader. All this, and much more. Brewster and hi men were watching with bound ing pulses, in breathless excitement, nrwr wun reelings 01 iningieii nop aiatnmtm in utKir, ami in net msiani nud despair. Now he know that the i they hoard thtt order in hi ring ambulance must be somewhere near at lug tones, half stilled In the snow, hand, possibly up that long ravine on "r'lro, men! Keep 'em off!

Surely the lutuk hmkod as though there were a good ford tit that itotiit Might not that U the very one of which Ellis siHiko? Now, if it wore but possi ble to dmp hack out of the drift in which they were hiding and rocro the stream, they might yet creep unolwervod into the mouth of' that gully aud fool their way afoot until, somewhere in the snow, they came upon, as he now felt sure they must, the stormbound wagon with its precious contents. From their crouching place it was tuiiossihlo to see across the ridge that serrated them from the ravine referred to; but to the southeast the prairie lay lief or them, and (lie keenest eye could detect no sign of hollow liotwoen that which lay so near them and that from which t!ua vagalmnd mule had emerged far out upou tlie plain. Somehow Brewster felt certain that now at last lis was actually within pistol shot of the ambulance, within speaking distance, alitioet, of th girl he so fondly loved, who very life j at this instant depended not only on his : courage, but also on his judgment. On 1 false move would ruin all. So long as the Indians kept up their powwow at tho lietid, so long was Wini fred safe. The longer they delayed the nearer would it bring Murphy and tho lieu front the main cnwaiug thrco miles ! away up stream. Then, six to six, he j could laugh at the Sioux. Hut any one who knew Indiana at all know that tho discovery of the mules would only sot 1 them to work to find the snow camp ' from which the animal had broken i awsy. Ae, even as those things flashed ( through his mind, Hnwster could see that they were signaling 'halt" to the. herd guard, and that two of the young- sters were lashing their ponies out in 1 front of the band and gradually bring- lug it to standstill. Almost at the sain moment, too, those iu consultation sepa- j rated, three riding swiftly after the j hen!, while the other three, slowly and ; cautiously, begau to advance toward th hollow whence the mule had emerged. I Evidently they evocted to.'linl the whit ' man's wagon there. , "Now i your time, men." muttered ! Brewster, "(juickt Off with your side ! line aud double them alsutt your horses' fore feet so that they can't even hobble ! out of th drift Keep them here. Take , your lariat and hopple my horse, oue of you. Throw him if need he. I'll watch ; those U'ggars down stream.

Meekly the two troop horsi-, after having been led to a deeier Unt down the coulee, Unt their head and sub mitted to the lashing together of their fore feet, but Brewster' "Blackjack" was of different mold.

Then a quick gesture; a quick. ! low toned, but imperative "Ou!" Go they did, skimming over the pool above the rapids, leaping the narrow chasm where the black waters, dancing and frothing, had defied the ice king; ducking under the opposite bank; car bine in hand, revolvers at the hip, car tridges gleaming in every belt; and after theiu, leaping, yet lieiiding low, went Brewster. Another moment and they reached the mouth of the ravine, burst through the powdery drift, and then, Brewster leading, eyes everywhere, al most on all fours, they scurried along half way up the opposite slope, keeping well under the crest and inst at the edire of the deep drifts to their right. Fifty sixty yards they made their rapid way, : and then around a little liend and among ' great heaps and mounds of glistening, i shimmering white there rose an odd ' shaped heap, only a trifle higher than j its fellows, and from the midst of it there projected a dingy, whity-brown I canvas, slanting to tiio north, and with I a cry of delight half stifled in his lips I Carroll Brewster 1 eaped into the snow, ! floundered to his nnnpits in the powdery ; drift, aud in a moment more had forced his way through the fragile white wall before him, had seized the handle of the door and Winifred Berrien, starting from her mother's clasping arms, blinded for jan instant by the glare of radiant sun shine, barely able as yet to rally from the stupor like sluiulsir into which she had fallen, heard her name called in the joy ous tones she knew so well and saw her lover, a stalwart, glowing, rejoicing young snow god, all sparkling with the white crystals, all glistening in the glo rious beams, gazing upon her with a love light in his bravo blue eyes that brought instant glow to her own wun aud pallid check. And then, before she could even speak, Is foro her mother could emerge from the enfolding robes, a shout was heard, then the sudden ring of a rifle shot, followed instantly by an other, the spat as of a whiplash on the canvas top. Something tore its wny through the roof and front with spiteful "zip." "Down! down npon the floor! both of yon, jui':k1" .shouted Brewster,4 a be ! snse of ritlint distant as were tlie llrst. the whistle of load through the Icy air, I the shrill yells of battling Indians, the i futiousgallopof Umnding hoof.

Two thru minute the sound of J : battle raged alsmt thorn, lucreustugal th i . front, A soldier voice was heard to say 1 1 "There' more of them coining, sir. You j can see them down titer to th eaL"i l And Mr. Berrien' heart grew faint i with fear. Winifred had burled her face iiHn her breast and closed her ears to the horrid sounds. And then, all on a sudden, tint yell of th charging In dian seemed to grow fainter, then sounds of dismay anm among thorn, thou the cries were drowned in the clat ter of iniushod hoof and the chorus ol soldier cheer. Murphy aud his littl squad came whirling up the bank, and Mrs. Berrien' heart poured forth In praise and thanksgiving at th joyous Milesian hall: "To hell will 'em, feller!
