The Bijr Cheyenne, winding its way
through prairie anil plain, has seen tho
sun rise ou many scenes of horror, but
on none worse than that portrayed in
the caini) of the outlaws. Four men lay
dead and stiff beside the littlo heap of
ashes and blackened brands marking the
site of the camptiie. Some lay on their
backs, their open eyes gazing into the
blue vaults of heaven, others were face)
down, their limbs drawn up und their
fingers dug iuto the si il
Taylor leaned agninHt a free for support.
And as the first bam of the goldo
sun touched thetlead, Taylorcrcpt dowc
to gaze upon his work. He came trem
bling and afraid. His face was ghastly
pale, his teeth clicked together and his
limbs could hardly support him as he
walked. His own brother could not
have identified him, so great was the
facial change. He did not want to ap
proachhe dreaded the sight which
would meet his gaze, but some mys
terious power forced him ulong.
"Revenge is mine and 1 will repay,
saith the Lord."
The fate which the outlaws meted out
to the poor gold seekers had recoiled on
their own heads, but there was yet an
other to be punished. Taylor leaned
against a tree for support und surveyed
the bodies lying before him. He had
planned this. There was the wagon
there was the gold there the horses.
He had but to drag the corpses to tho
bank of the stream and roll them in,
and then harness up and move off. The
Big Cheyenne would not yield up tho
corpses for days, and if found who
could tell how they died or discover
their identity? The route was clear of
Indians, and he could tell u plausible
story to account for his possession of so
m-ch treasure. He had iuvented a story
and gone over it in detail fifty times.
Coinel All are dead! Dispose of the
corpses. The treasure is yours.
But the man clung to the tree in a
(lazed sort of a way. , A look of terror
trept into hi eyes, never to leave thr-in
again, and he moaued in distress us he
looked over the camp. The horses
whinnied for water ami a change to new

CHAPTER XXVIL
4?F
The vulttms titimicra lunrfrcrf
It was not a coincidence that Captain
Burton's party, when ready to leave the
valley, should head in th same direc
tion as that pursued by the outlaws. It
was simply the same linu of reasoning.
Tho influx of gold seekers would natur
ually muss the Indians on the western
border to oppose thorn, and it was rea
soned that the route to Fort Sully would
lie unopposed. Iu going out of the val
ley, however, each party took a dif
ferent route, and it was nit until the
gold seekers arrived at the forts of the
Cheyenne and tho soldiers" encampment
that they knew the outlaws had passed
on before and only two days ahead.
"I had rather have them ahead than
behind," said the captain when he heard
the news. "If they can get through
we ought to be able to."
"1 don't like it," answered Joo with a
shake of the head. "They were a des
perate lot before Taylor joined them,
and yon know how he feels toward us.
1 believe they have come this way to
ambush ns, and from this on we can't
keep our eyes open too wide."
"That's true," added Ilarkins. "Tay
lor knew what we were ufter, and
through him ull the others know. I
think they played spy on us ur.d dis
covered that we had struck the tre isure.
They dared not uttack us in the valley,
83 we would be 011 our guard, but 1
shall bo greatly disappointed if they do
uot show their hands before our Beconcl
day down the river is over."
The party remained in camp with the
soldiers only one night, and as in the
case of the outlaws tho contents of the
wagons were not suspected. They were
looked upon as one of the hundred un-
I successful expeditions already returning
disgusted from the diggings, i hey were
given three cheers by the soldiers as they
moved out, and camp had been placed
only a few miles behind when a vigilant
outlook was maintained for the outlaws.
Three times during tho day. when the
parly was obliged to pass locations where
a foe could lie in ambush, scouts wero
sent ahead to make sure that no trap
had been set for them. Their pace was
not so rapid as Hint of the outlaws, and
it was noon of tho second day lieforo
they approached the scene of the tragedy
brought about by Taylor.
While yet two or three miles away
the scout, who was riding in advance,
halted und waited for the others to come
up.
"What is it?" asked the captain at all
had closed up.
"Look!"
Hovering over the grove straight
ahead was u cloud of buzzards. What
their presence signified every man
knew.
"They nre low down," whispered the
captain.
"Which means death," replied Jo
"While they are waitiwr for a wounded
man or norse to aie tney sun mgn.
"The other party has been attacked
and wiped out. 1 fear."
"Can't be otherwise. There's certain
to be a Bight there which the women
should not be permitted to gaze upon.
Some of us bad best ride ahead and see
what can be done."
Joe, Harkins and a third man were
dispatched on the errand, and they
found it one to try their nerves. When
they had approached close enough to get
a view of the camp they knew it to be
the camp of the outlaws, for tliere were
the horses ' and wagon. The vultures
numbered hundreds, and while a part of
them were running about on the ground,
others sailed Blow ly about in short cir
cles and hesitaled to alight
"Look at the horses!" exclaimed Joe.
The animals had been staked out on
ground furnishing scant pasturage at
best. For three days they lutd had
neither food nor water, and as Joe spoke
they were making tremendous efforts to
break their lariats or pull the iron pins
from the ground.
"There are deud men there!" whis
pered Harkins, with pale face, "but the
buzzards are afraid of the horses."
The trio moved forward. They were
greeted with whinnies of welcome from
the suffering horses, but for two or three
minutes they had eyes only forthe bodie3
of the dead. But for the clothing ou
them it would have been hard to identify
them as human beings.
"There are only four, and neither of
them is Taylor." said Joe as lie rode
around the bodies. "There are 110 ar
rows here, no empty shells, no signs of
a fight with the Indians. Let its ride
through the grove and Bee if we can
find the key to this mystery."
They scattered and hunted for further
evidence iybtu they found none. Taylor.

"And it has not been discharged,"
added Joe its he inspected it. "These
dead men are his work, und the fact
that he di.l not drive away with th3
team proves that something happened
him. Let lis relieve the horses and then
get these horrible objects out of sight,"
When the remainder of the party came
up not uu evidence of the tragedy ex
isted, but tho Btory told them by thosp
who had drawn the corpses to the river
and floated them off was shocking
enough without the presence of the
dead. The horses had been reduced to
Skeletons, and it was a full hour before
their thirst was sufficiently satisfied to
permit them to enjoy the fresh green
grass at the other side of the grove.
The next surprise came when one of
the men investigated the contents of
tho outlaws' wagon and found the treas
ure which had been responsible for so
many crimes. While it was known
that the men were hunting for the cave
of gold, the idea that they had found it
had uot been entertained. Whom did
it belong to? The wreckage of the sea
belongs to the finder. Bo with the
wreckage of tho plains.
The wagons wero moved to the other
side of the grove and the gold hunters
went into camp. If the newly added
treasure was to be taken away it must
be drawn by the horses which had
hauled it thus far and wero now luirdlv

good spring of water on it, all under
aoie to ueep their feet. It wonld take
a week to recruit them for the long pull
to the fort. The camp was therefore
made as comfortable as possible, the
treasure examined piece by piece and its
value estimated, and when this task
had been accomplished even the sweet,
sad face of the orphaned Lizzie carried
a smile. .
I have written much of adventure and
very littlo of love. Some of my readers
may have been disappointed on that
score. Tliere is love among the cast
awuys floating on a raft in midocean.
There is love beneath the white topped
wagon of the immigrant slowly trailing
across plain and prairie in the gold
hunters camp, surrounded by perils und
alarms. But it is a silent love, born of
heroism, self sacrifice and true merit,
and it is not demonstrative. It waits for
safety and civilization to betray itself.
A month ufter Joo and his compan
ions rode into that death camp I met
most of thorn in Denver. They had
come Bitfely through all perils, their
treasure had reached the mint to be val
ued and paid for in coin gold, and there
bad been one marriage Joe aud Bess.
A mouth lutcr there was to be another

it to satisfy the sentimentalists, blame
