Silas Jordan's startling announcement caused more than one cheek topale with untold apprehensions as they glanced toward the women, who had during the siege clung together in intense terror, all but Lois Gilbert and Martha Severy. They had helped their defenders, had stool by them with a bravery that had the effect to strengthen and encourage tlie men. “It's ther sad truth,” said the old com mander, breaking the silence and point ing to the scanty remainder of the powder. It was terribly true. They would be - unable to withstand such another attack as the Cheyennes had been waging against them that night. “What can we do?” appealed one of the settlers. “I didn't count on no sich long siege as ther imps kep’ up,” said old Silas rather huskily. “1 thought our pow der’d hold out till we uns conld clean ’em cl’ar out.” "Here, boys,” he continued, speaking cheerfully, “I’ll divide up wot powder thar is equally among we uns, an when ther Injuns come swoopin liack yer'll hev ter do ther best yer kin under ther existin sarcumstances.” Lois Gilbert's keen ears had canglit enough of the dialogue between the set tlers to comprehend the situation. As old Silas dealt out an equal quan tity of the powder to each man, a daring plan entered her head. “Mr. Jordan.” she said, approaching the commander and placing a hand on bis arm, “I want permission to leave the blockhouse.” “Ter leave ther blockhouse,” he re peated, gazing down into her resolute dark eyes. “Yes, sir; 1 want to return to our shanty.” “Ther Cheyennes hev found it out an hev destroyed it 'fore this. Besides thar's too much danger ter 'low yer to go now.” “I realize the danger and I am re solved to go,” she returned, “It’s noth ing in the shanty I want.” “Wot do yer want ter go for. Lois?” “Powder.” “Powder!” broke simultaneously from the lips of every settler. “Yes. I know the situation here. No need to disguise it from me.

"He is risking his life for others. Why should not I?” The thought encouraged her, and she urged the skiff forward with all possible speed. It was more than three miles by the river to the Gilliert shanty, but Lois made the trip without encountering any adventure worth recording. When she stepped from the skiff, which she left at the foot of thd bluffs, all her old courage seemed to return. She did not, however, lay all precau tion aside. Sho reconnoitered the path before her very carfully as she went to ward the cave where the goods had been concealed. She had prepared to see her sod home in ruins. Imagine her surprise when its rough dark outlines arose before her, standing undisturbed in its rocky uiclie. The Indians had not yet lieen there, oi else they had considered the rude habitation of too vast insignificance to destroy. Reaching the iittle cavern up among the bluffs she displaced the rocks at the entrance with great cautiousness. Tak ing out the can of powder she hastily transferred it to the skiff. With a grateful heart Lois was push ing the little boat away from the shore. Suddenly the clouds overhead parted for a moment, letting the moon jiour a shower of silvery rays across the licsom of the Arkansas. The next moment a savage whoop from the opposite bank rang wildly out on the night air. With a sudden terror Lois realized that she had lieen detected by a lurking redskin. Almost immediately an arrow whizzed through the air dangerously close to the girl’s head. Filled with alarm though she was, she did not lose command of herself. Grasping the oars firmly in her well trained hands, she pushed dauntlesslv forward down the river. If she had but one enemy to contend with she felt pretty confident of her own ability to protect herself. Her father's re volver, carefully loaded, lay by her side and she knew how to discharge it. She dared not, however, hope for so easy an escape. It was not at all likely that rhe Indian who had spied her was alone. Glancing over her shoulder as she plied the oars she caught sight of three stalwart Cheyennes running rapidly along a saml bar which extended for some distance into the stream. Another glance sufficed to show her that they were trying to unloosen a large canoe which was partly imbedded in the heavy sand. The canoe was ono which her father nad made and had been carried by the last rise of the river to the bar on the opposite side. Having no immediate use for the canoe he had not taken the time to reclaim it from where the waves had stranded it. Little the Gilbert family, who had enjoyed many trips down the river in its rude cavity, dreamed that it would ever serve their enemies as a craft in which one of its members would lie pursued. Lois observed with a feeling of thank fulness that the Indians were flounder ing about in the sand, as if in a hopeless condition of getting the canoe launched. “They're in the quicksand at the edge of the bar!” she cried to herself, shoot ing another glance toward her foes. “All the better for me! I'll have a good start before they get ont of that sand.” With a courageous heart Lois sent the skiff, with its doubly precious cargo, bounding like a frightened bird over the water. Two arrrows sped after her, but she was already too far from the vexed war riors, struggling on the verge of the quicksand, to prove an easy target. A curtain of dense clouds again swept across the moon's face, rendering ob jects along the river dim and uncertain, and greatly increasing the vexation of the Indians. Not for one moment did Lois Gilbert Blacken the speed at which she was urg ing her skiff forward. The quicksand on the bar opposite her home and where Mose Gilbert had once had an unpleasant extierience might betrii-iid her in ui... -jeiuiW for a short time, bi, s..e ...icw they wu oi be able to extricate themselves ami secure the canoe. All too soon they would be hurrying after her. In the meantime, though, she put forth every effort to make as great headway as possible la-fore th 3 pursuit actually began. She was not wrong in her lielief that the savages would be able to free them selves from the quicksand. She had not. proc<>eded far around a small bend in the river when the un mistakable dip. dip of a canoe’s paddles fell on her ears. “They’re really after me -now in earn est,” she told herself. - Well, I'm a good way ahead, and 1'11 try to keep that way.” Taking a deep breath, she bent to her task with renewed energy. The little boat seemed fairly to fly along over the water, but fast as it went she could still hear the dip, dip of her enemy’s paddles as they came stead ily onward after her. The moon was dimly visible now be hind a mass of filmy clonds and object? were becoming faintly discernible. Lois glanced back to ascertain if pos sible how near her pursuers were. She conld just make out the dull oui line of the long canoe and its dusky oc cupants as they swept around the bend. She could not, however, estimate the distance lietween herself and them, though fear made it seem less than it actually was. The sharp eyes of the Cheyennes saw the skiff with its solitary occupant far ahead of them, and uttering a chorus of savage whoops, which echoed wildly from bank to bank, they shoved the canoe forward at an impetuous rate. Lois realized that it must be a race for life with her there on the Arkansas, where she had spent several careless afternoons in the very craft now pursu ing her. Even in that time of peril she could not help thinking of one particular af ternoon in June when Lee Hutchins, mounteel on his jiony, had ridden along the bank as she idly floated, not far away, in the old canoe. They had con versed little, but it had left an indelible impression on her mind. But the yells of the pursuing Indians drove her happy memory away.
