CHAPTER V.
THE PURSUIT—SELF EXILED.
"He is killedl"
A cry of horror escaped Dan Riggsby'«
lips as he saw the blood running from
the wound in Bud Roi>es' head, and for
a moment he stood there helpless and
•tupefied at the sight before him.
“He is killedl” he gasped in a choking
voice, “and 1 shall be accused of his
murder,"
A cold perspiration broke out on his
brow, and a groan escaped him as he
thought of his parents at home. What
would they think of the deed and what
great calamity would it bring upon them
as well as upon himself?
At that instant he heard shouts in the
distance, and lifting his eyes he beheld
Ben Ropes riding furiously toward him,
followed by a half dozen cowboys. He
saw the gleam of pistols in their hands
and knew they had witnessed the en­
counter between himself and Bud, and
would visit speedy vengeance upon him.
He well knew the impulsive and des­
perate character of those with whom he
now had to deal, and he realized that he
was in a most dangerous and desperate
situation. That the men who were ap­
proaching would shoot him down with­
out giving him the slightest opportunity
to explain the situation of affairs he
was fully convinced, and he recognized
the fact that his only chance of life lay
in instant flight.
As this thought occurred to him he
turned quickly to where he had left hie
horse, but the animal had taken fright
and was galloping wildly across the
prairie a hundred yards away, followed
by the horse that had been ridden by
Bud Ropes.
Dan realized the utter impossibility of
overtaking his retreating horse, and
without a moment's hesitation he turned
and ran toward the timber that skirted
the creek a hundred yards away. His
gun had been carried away upon the
horse and he was without the slightest
weapon to defend himself.
Reaching the cover of the brush, Dan
cast a quick glance behind him and saw
therm, nwinon reining in their Horace at
the spot where Bud Ropes lay. Some of
them hastily dismounted, while three
others spurred their horses in pursuit of
the fleeing youth.
Dan crept through a dense thicket of
dogwood and green briars and sped
swiftly through a heavy growth of paw­
paws that skirted the stream. He knew
that the horsemen could not urge their
horses through the thicket without con­
siderable loss of time, and he resolved to
use every moment in putting distance
between himself and his pursuers.
For a quarter of a mile he ran with all
the speed he could muster, and then,
with a sinking heart he made the dis­
covery that the woods were growing
more open, offering him but little chance
of concealing himself.
With this discovery came the sound of
rapidly advancing hoofs behind him,
and he knew that his pursuers would
soon be upon him. It was useless for
him to attempt to escape by continuing
his course up the creek, and he glanced
rapidly about him for the purpose of
discovering some place of concealment.
There was no available thicket near at
hand, but happening to glance toward
the creek he saw a mass of driftwood
lodged on the bank and overhanging the
water. There was not a moment to lose,
end letting himself into the water till he
was almost submerged he crept forward
till he reached a spot beneath the over­
hanging driftwood.
He did not gain his place of conceal­
ment a moment too soon, for in a few
seconds he heard the tramp of horses'
feet as the cowboys galloped wildly
along the creek.
“Shoot the young murderer wharever
you see him," he heard one of them ex-
claiin with a bitter oath as they rode by.
Suddenly one of the horses was reined in
on the bank not ten yards away, and the
same voice continued: “Two uv ye go
bp the crick and I'll take a look fer
tracks about hyar. It may be that he
hadn't left the thicket."
Dan's heart almost stood still with
fear as he heard the words. Would he be
discovered? He heard the man dismount
and walk along the bank of the stream.
Then the steps ceased within three yards
of the driftwood where he lay.
There was a moment of thosnost pain­
ful anxiety for Dan; then to his relief
the man walked away, and a few min­
utes later the youth heard the sounds of
his horse's feet as he rode back down the
stream.
Though chilled to the bone in the cold
water, Dan did not venture to leave his
hiding place for some time after all
sound of his pursuers had died away.
At last he drew himself cautiously
upon the bank, and glancing rapidly in
every direction to assure himself that
none of his foes was lurking in the
vicinity he rose and hurried across the
creek. Walking rapidly for a quarter
of a mile he suddenly left the timber
and concealed himself in the tall grass
that grew in the valley and crawled for­
ward some forty rods. This he consid­
ered a better hiding place than the
woods afforded, on account of there be­
