" It’s a death trap or an open rood."
“Got In the habit of carrying these," San Juan told Dinsdale as they gal
San Juan explained as he produced
two double-barrel Remington der
ringers, forty-one caliber.”
They ascended a high ridge that
crossed their course at right angles
sad came to the trail which connected
the agencies with the stronghold of
the northern Sioux.
The summer
campaign of 1876 had brought no de
feats to the Sioux and Cheyennes. The
latter, whose cornfields once grew
along the Bellefourche, claimed a vic
tory over General Crook as the result
of the June fight on the Rosebud.
Custer's death a week later marked the
peak ef Sioux supremacy.
Curiously enough it was the federal
government thal started the gold rush
to the debatable hills by sending an
expedition to confirm the many border
stories about gold to be found there.
Once the cry was raised in 'seventy-
four, "Custer's soldiers have found
gold in the Black hills I Hills of gold 1
Gold from the grass-roots down!” the
red man got together his best guns, ac
cumulated much fixed ammunition,
saw that his war ponies were fit, made
new medicine, smoked war tobacco,
and with the spring grass carried the
pipe against the frontier.
All too well did the Indian under
stand what was about to happen to
their homeland now that the precious
metal had been found upon It. The
lesson had been taught In California.
Colorado, Idaho and Montana.
Many prospectors had Interpreted
the government's activity in 'seventy-
four as an invitation for them to rush
to the hills. But soldiers were sent to
•verhaul the trains, burn the wagons
and Imprison the fortune seekers.
The Indians, primed from the start
to resent the Inevitable stampede, did
not need his example; but, having be
held It, they pronounced It good and
proceeded to burn a score of trains
where the government had destroyed
one wagon, to kill a hundred whites
where the Great Fattier In Washing
ton had Imprisoned one. Thus while
San Juan Joe and Dinsdale were
warily making down the highest ridge
In the chain to strike the Cheyenne
river the hill towns were praying for
Crook to march down from the Little
Missouri
country
Into
Deadwood
Gulch.
The river was reached at dusk, and
men and horses enjoyed the first
drink of water since morning. They
made the crossing without much
trouble and were soon drying tbetr
clothes In the ranch house.
"What's ahead of us now?" asked
Dinsdale as they finished »teaming
their garments and sat down to an
appetizing supper of fried venison, hot
bread and coffee.
"The worst of tlie lot,” San Juan
cheerfully answered. "But It's a short
dash. Sudden death rather than a
long lingering illness. I f It's In the
cards that we make it there's no
reason In worrying. I f the cards run
against ns, worrying won't help any."
After rapper they Inquired of a
white-haired man In plains dress
about the two wagons they had been
expecting to come up with.
•'They 'lowed to wait at the sol
diers' camp near the mouth of Red
canyon," mumbled the ancient. " If the
boss of that outfit—called hlaaelf Bel-
man an’ has his woman along—has
got any brains he’ll wait till a big
train comes along.”
For Dinadale's enllghtment the
gambler informed him;
"Red canyon Is called 'The Gate of
Hell.' Regular death trap If the In
juns Jump ns. No chance to hide up
Walls high and steep. N'o place to run
once they've cut you off In both di
rections. Seven outfits slaughtered In
there since May.
“The time to go through Is at night.
Injuns don't take kindly to night work.
My Idea is to stay here till tomorrow
afternoon, then make a dash for It
I've been through the canron four
time« this season, this making the
fifth. Once we're through w ell be ,
only twenty-five miles from Custer
City. I don't mind the devils much If '
they don t get me cornered."
loped along 'But If it's In the cards
for us to get through we ll go through.
The curds have been right every trip
I've made this season. They had to be
before I'd start out.”
"What did the cards say list night?"
curiously asked Dinsdale
Showed trouble in the canyon.
Seemed to be sort of blind. But yon
and I showed up all right at the end.
W ell know Just what It means when
we get to It. I'll try them again when
w e reach the soldiers' camp."
It was late afternoon when the gam
bler and Dinsdale roda into the sol
diers’ camp on Red Canyon creek.
The camp was defended by rifle-pits,
and only a few men were present, the
others being off on a scout. From a
sergeunt the wayfarers learned tlint
two wagons with eight men had left
for the canyon shortly after the noon
hour, having tired of waiting for an
other outfit to come up.
"I tried to get them to wait until
some of the men out scouting got
back, so we could send an escort
through with them. But they wouldn't
listen.” said the sergeant
Dinsdale asked no questions as to
when they should set ont. He knew
that his companion was familiar with
the route and Its dangers. At sunset
they ate supper, messing with the sol
diers, and then smoked for a while.
Finally San Juan Joe rose briskly
and glanced at the moon crawling
above the horizon, greatly magnified
and blood-red.
"Looks like all h—1 was burning,"
lazily remarked Dinsdale.
“It usually Is,” was the grave re
ply. "Means that some one la cut
ting tlie deuce In this deal.”
"What do the carda say! have you
tried them?"
"Ran them off while you was tend
ing your nag. They run all right for
us. We'll go.”
Dinsdale glanced at his watch as
they entered the mouth of the canyon
and observed thut It was eight o'clock
The gambler took the lead as the faint
light vanished and permitted his horse
to pick the way through the thick
darkness. Dinsdale'» animal followed
closely. Gradually Dinsdale developed
the Illusion of being surrounded by
Immeasurable open country until It
seemed that he was free to gallop In
sny direction.
Then came a more disquieting fancy;
He was riding along the creat of a
ridge
The way scarcely afforded
room for Ids horse's cautious hoofs,
and one false step would tie equiva
lent to a drop Into oblivion. Once,
when his horse stumbled, he gave an
Involuntary little cry.
"What's the trouble?" softly called
San Juan from out of the blackness.
"My nerves fooled me." sheepishly
explained Dinsdale.
Soon after this Incident Dinadale's
objective senses ousted all fancies.
San Juan also heard It, the ominous
sound of several guns fired In a vol-
