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.

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.
