A fortnight patted without tbe alight Mt Incident or alarm, The nlivep and vatlli were carefully iccured nt night; two ur tlirco of the native dogt were fatt ened up, ilotvn at tlin fold; one of the tnaatlff wai kitl at the liirn'n hut, While tli o other'a krniifl wai placed by Our noiue; mo retriever, a uaunl. lrepjng Indoor. A flagNtaff wa erected upon tlio lookout, with a red Mag In rcadliir to be run up to iiiiiiinoii those who might tm away on the plnln, and n kuii wan kept loaded to call attention to the algnal. The 1)0, when the y went out for their rides, carried their carblnr initead of their Kuni. The girl fulfilled the duties of lookout, colas up every half-hour from daybreak to duik. One day Mr. Hardy had ridden orer to, Catil)'rhury to arTaigt. with hla friend about hlrluc shearers from Ilotarlo tor the united flock. The - boya and Terence were In the flelda plow In tr. at a dlitance of half a mile from the houae, when they were atarlled by tit sound of a sun. looking round, they aw both the girl lUndlng upon the towrri Maud had Juit fired the sun, and l.thel waa pulling up tha flat. "He Jabber! oud the Indian hare come at laitl" Terence exclaimed, and they all three alerted at a run. Maud turned round and wnred her " hand to them, and then ahe and Iltbel continued look I no" over the plain. At thl moment they wer Joined on the tower by Mr. Hardy and Karab. "It I all right," 'Charley, who wa of an uneicltabl temperament, aald "The Indian mut be . long way off, or tlio girl would be waring to u to make iiaate. Take it vaiyt we ahall waut to , . keep our hand ateady." flo they broke from the headlong apeed , at which they had atarted Into a steady trot, which In five minute brought them up to the houae. "What li HT they exclaimed aa they gained the top of the tower. "Ob, dear, oh, dear!" Uthel ld. "They . hare got all the animal." , "Aad I fear they hare killed. (Ionics and I'mlro," Mr. Hardy added. It wa too evidently true. At a dli tance of ill mile the boy could ace a dark mm rapidly retreating, and ntiuicr ou tingle apecka could bo teen hovering round them. Two tnllcj from the houae ft lagle horteman wa galloping wildly. 1 The girl had already made him out to be Iopr. The whole party went down to meet tapes, who wa Jut riding up to the Ineloiur. He wa eery pale, and hi (.... bore waa covered with foam. ' "Are the peon killed. linear wa Mr. Hardy' flrt queatlon. "I do not know, algnora; hut I ahould think so. The Indian caught them) I heard a acreatn," aud the mm shuddered. "How wa It tht you were surprised, linear' Charley siked. "Vou were so particularly ordered to keep a good look out." "Well, Klgnor Charlea, I wa keeping a good lookout, and It I lucky that I waa. I wa further away than I ought to hare been I know tint, for tha lienor told me not to go far; but I knew that the rite that I took thtat t waa the hlghcat In that direction, and I could tee for mite away Into the Indian country. Ho I got out there, and l'cdro and Hume had got tbe (beep and rattle all well together, and there waa no fear or them straying, for the gr there I very good. Ho the men lay down for their aleita, and I wa landing by my hnrae looking over the campo. Home of the leal teemed tin eaiy, and 1 thought that there mutt be a lion aomewhere about. Ho I got on my hone, aud Juat a I did o I heard a , iiolie; and looking behind, where 1 had never dreamed of them, I aaw a lot of In- j dlani coming up at full gallop from the hollow. The rattle went oft at tiw aauie ' Jaatint and I gave a about tiMhe men and a tuck my tpura Into Carina. It waa a near touch of It. and they gave me a hard i-haee for the llrt mllo; but my borne wa freaber than their, and they gave It up." "How many Indiana were there.1" Charley ked. "I don't know, Hlgnor Charlea, It wna only thote 1 11 front that I caught tight of. and I never looked round after J started. Home of them had llrearma, for eight or ten of them tlrud after me a I medu ofT, and the .arrow t all round me." "Witt do you think, girl, about tbe nuurvert" Tlio clrU were tllcut, and then Kthrl told: "They were all in a lump, Charley. One could nut hco them aeparately." "Tlio lump aecmed to be about the tiro that our cattle do when they ato clone together at the amo dlitauce. Don't you think no, I2thcl?" Maud aald. "Yea," Hthel thought they they were. "Then there muat be from one hundred to a hundred mid llfly of them," Charley aald,' "I wonder what papa will do! One of u had better Tide off at ouco and fetch him." "I will so," Hubert aald, moving away to saddle hla home, " "Htop, Hubert," Charley said? "I thluk 7011 had better take Iopcs's horae. I don't kuow what papa may make up IiIh mind to do, and It 1 better to have your borae quite f reth." Hubort agreod at once, and waa mount-, log, when Maud saidt "Walt a moment, Hubert, I will run up to the lookout. 1 way aee papa; It I nearly time for him to be home," Hubert pauaed while Maud ran up to tho bouie, end lu a minute appeared at tha top of tho tower, Hho stood for a mo ment looking ncrota tho atroam towurd Canterbury, and then held up her hand, I ca tee Win," the called out. "He la a long way off, but he It coming." Hubert at ouco galloped off and met lil (zither. They roda together back to thu houae at n ciintvr, Mr. Hardy tm lin ed at the men' hut to give l-opes n henrly rating for hi disobedience. f or der. A party of pursuit Inttaiitly atart ed out. Hcarcely a word wna exchanged for an hour. At a long, ateady gallop they awept along. There waa no dllllctilty lu follow ing the track, for the long gran wn trampled In n wldo awalh. Bcveral time, loo, exclamation of rage burnt from the boy a they came aero a ilea 4 sheep, evidently Hpearcd by tho aavoge became he could not keep up with the other. Af ter pnlng eeveral of them, Mr. Hardy called to the boya to halt, while hit leaped off hi hone by the aide of oue of the aheep, and put hi hand agaluit it body and into It mouth, "If quite dead, Itn't It, papa?" Hubert aald. "guile, Hubert! I never thought It wa alive." Aud Mr. Hardy leaped upon lit horte again. "I wanted to ee how warm the body wat. If we try again an hcftjr's ride ahead, we ahall Ik able, to Judge by the lucreaied heat of the body, aa to how much we have gained on the Indian aud whether they are far ahead." chaiti:h IX. After another ten mlnutea ride Mr. Hardy again alighted aud found a very perceptible luerea of warmth In the bodlea of the theep. "I do not think that they can have leen dead much mure than a quarter of an hour. Keep a abarp lookout ahead, boya; we may aee them at the top of the next rlie." Not a word waa poken for the next few mlnutea. Two or three alight awell were crotned without any tlgn of the enemy; aud then, upon breattlug a rather higher rlie than uaual, they aaw a 1 of moving bclug In the dlatance. "Halt!" Mr. Hardy thoutcd. and the bey Itutaully drew rein. "Jninp off, boy. Only our head have thown agalntt the tky, They can hardly have noticed them. There, hold my lion; loiwrn the taddlc glrtha of ynuri, too, and let them breathe freely. Take tho brldlet out of their moutht. It teemed to Ule, by the gllmpMi I got of our enemies, that they were Juat stopping. 1 am golug on to make auro of It." H taylng. Mr. Hardy again went for ward a abort dlitance. going on hi haudt aud knee at hu came to the crett of the rite, la order that hit head might not thow above the long grait. When he reached It he taw at once that hit hrtt Imprcitluu bad been correct. At a dli tance of a little over a tulle a man of anlmata were collected, and round them were tcattcred a number of bortet, while figure of men were moving among them. "It I at I thought, boy," be aald. when he rejolued hla torn. "They have atopped for a while. The animal limit alt be completely dona up; they cannot have come leu than thirty mile, and will require three or four houra rett, at the leatt. One hour will do for our lionet. Illnie their mouth out with a little water and let them grate if they are dlapoied; In half an hour we will give them each a double handful of Indian corn." Having attended to their bore. which they hobbled to prevent their ttraylne. Mr. Hardy and the boyt aat down and made a alight meal. Then Mr. Hardy again reconiioltered. There waa no change; moat of the animal were lying down, aud there wa little tlgn of move ment. Two or three Indian, however, were atamllng motlonleaa and rigid by their horte' lde, evidently acting eeulrie. The boya thought that hour the longest that they had ever patted. At lit, however, their father looked at hi watch. "Now, boyt, It It Ore mlnutea to tho hour. Kx&iolno your carblnea and levolvert, ee that everything -it lu order, and that there I no hitch. Tighten the taddlc glrtht and examine the buckle. See that your ammunition .and apare car bine chambers are ready at hand." "Hurraht" tbe boya both thoutcd at they atarted at a canter up tho rite. A Ihvy caucht tight of the Indian every thing wiiii quiet a before; but in another moment they taw the men ou watch throw themielve ou to their boric' back, figure leaped up from the graa and ran toward their horte, and In little over a minute the whole were In motlou. "Hurely they are not going to run away from three men I" Charley tald lu a dli glinted tone. "They won't run far. Charley," Mr. Hardy aald quietly, "lty the time that we are hulf way to them they will aee that we can have no one with ua, and they will come on quickly enough. Halt, boya atcudy, dlimouut; take 'up your po tltlon quietly. Don't fire till I givo you tho worth I thnll try my rifle tint." The well-trained hone, accuxtomed to their luaitera tlriug from their backif atood aa ateady a If carved In atoue, their hrada turned Inquiringly toward tho yelling throng of horiemcn who were ap proaching. -lr, Hardy and tho lioya had both dlamounted, to that tho hone were between them and the Indian, the tad dlea aervlng aa reata for their firearm. "Flvo hundred yard, Charley J" hla father a ked quietly. "A little over, papa; nearly six, I ahould av." Mr. Hardy waited another ten teconda, and theu hla rlflo cracked: and a yell of natonlahmcut and rage broke from the indium, at one of their chiefs, coiuplcu oua from nit old dragoon helmet, taken prebibly In como aklrmUh with the tol dlera, fell from hit hone. "Hurrah!" Charley cried. "Bholl we fire now, papal" "No, Charley," Mr, Hardy anld a he reloaded hla rlflo; "wait till they are four hundred yard off, then (Ire tlowly. Count ten between each thot, and take i ateady nu aim 11 pontlble, .Now! Well done, two more of the ecoundrel down. Hfeady, Hubert, you mltied that time; there, tllHt'H hotter." Tho Indian jelled with rage find nston Inlimciit a Hum after man dropped be foie the ateady nnd, li them, myntcrlou fire whleh wa kept up upon them. Hf III they did not abate the rapidity of their charge, "oiie, papa," Charley aald, da the two boya tlmultaiu-ouily fired their lat allot, when the Icadlrig Indian were about two hundred and fifty yard dUtaut. "Change your oiianiher and moifnt." .Mr. lnnr aald a far again took aim with hit rifle. The enemy wa not more than a hun dred and fifty yard dlitaut when thry leaped Into their naddle and ttarted at a gallop. "Hfeady, boyt, keep your horte well in hand. Never mind their ball; they contd no more hit a limn at thl dlitanre from tho back of a hone than they could fly.

Both piirttier and punned were now going over the ground at a tremeudou pace. The Indian had craned firing, far mot of thote who had gun had dlcharg ed them a Mr. Hardy and hla ton had mounted, and it wa Impoiilble to bud at the apeed at which they were gulng. During the firtt mile of the chate Mr. Hardy bail looked round aeveral .line, and had aald each time: "We are holdlug our own, boyt! they are a good hundred ;trdi behind; keep your borae lu hand." At the end of auother mile hi far brightened a be looked round. "All light, boyt; they are tailing off fait. Three-quarter 'of them have atopped al ready.

The mile wa toon travened. and Mr, Hardy taw that only about twelve In UUn had malnlalued their dlatance. "Now I thu time. boy.
