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

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

' 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

matter whether these are from the ! followed instantly by another couple,
agency or the Bad Lands now, if they
can catch a white man a-napping, and
something has brought them out here."
"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.

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,

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 !

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 ;

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. Ho would not

I "Ready, men! They're just peeping
) over in tb hollow now. The moment
j they're fairly in it, 1 give the word."
Twenty thirty seconds of breathless
I silence. 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."
