Tenderfoot's Wooing

"That's so," put. in Al. "There ain't
so much as an old Mooch left at the
rancherie since the burning."
"How do you know, Al?"
"I sent one of the breeds to pros-
pect."
"Where is he?"
"He never came back. I didn't cal-
culate as he would; but I thought he'd
be better with them than with us if
that was thekind of swine he was,
Then I sent Dan here and he says
they've all vamoosed. Don't you,
Dan?"
"Every last hoof of them."
For a moment there was a dead
silence in the coons, the men puffing
quietly at their pipes and staring in -
the log fire. After so many, years of
undisturbed . peace,- it seemed impos-
sible to believe in a general rising
amongst B. C. Indians. It was al-
most as if the cattle had turned on
the cowboys.
"What arc we to do, Jim ?"
"Well, Bolt, if these Indians were
not Chilcotens, I should say that we
had seen the worst of it, and it might
all blow over, but they are Chileotens
and Chitcotens are not like other B.C.
Indians."
"Oh, them Coast Indians is like a
pack of wet hens," put in Al. "These
fellows are mean as wolves. They
wiped out that sudvey party on Bella
Copies pretty clean."
"That -was a [Ong time aog ,and all
the ring -leaders were hanged."
"That's all you 'know, Bose. Khel-
owne was -one of the sing leaders, and
he Wasn't hung, worse luck. None of
the ring -leaders were hanged. The
fellows they gave up were slaves,
that's all There wasn't a Chilcoten
amongst them, Government knowed
it, but couldn't do nothing." '•
"Do you remember, Doc, that smoke
that I thought I saw late yesterday
evening?" asked Jim. •
"In the 'timber towards Grouse
Creek?"
• "Yes."
"I 'remember, but you don't think
that that is where they are? 'If they
had been there they would have seen
us and cut us off"
"I'm not sure of that. They might
have been seared that one' of us
would break back to. Soda Creek. It
would be safer for them to round us
all up here at the ranch,"
"You think that they have cut off
our cemmtmications then?"
"With Soda Creek and Faircloughs:
yes. That's what I'd try to do if I
was in their place. Al's planis the
right one.. We had better ge after
them. Tho first blow IS .worth a
dozen later on, and it won't do to let
them think we are seared, but we
must leave a strong guard with you'
and the ladies."
"Yes, .I mean to," said .the Boss,
waking up and taking command.
"Pick your men to stay Combs," •

whispered the Boss, when the ranch
lights had died out behind the hog's
back.
"I was calculating to make for that
gulch as leads into Grouse Creek. We
onld leave our horses there, and do a
neck down it to Khelowna's camp."
"How de do' you 'know he is camped
there?"
"It's the nearest water to the place
where Jim saw the smoke.. He might
ot be there, of course, but it's worth
rying. We might get the drop on the'

night "

Al went out and returned presently e
with two fair -headed young English-, s
men, beef -fed giants, with gaiters and
other robes of the Old Country still
clinging to them. Until now they had
'been looked upon with a certain
amount of disfavor at the Risky as
not belonging to quite the same 'class t
as most of the English importateions
and as intruders whose small hay
meadow hardly justified their' exis-
tence and the presence of their herd 1
upon the range, but in the straits to
which the Bolts had been reduced,the �
Faircloughs were accorded a very f
hearty welcome, although their obvi-
ous scepticism and too loudly pro -1t
claimed indifference to anything that
"a pack of mangy Indians" could do, T
was a little trying to the old hands.
"The Chilcotens have not been near °
your place yet, Al tells me." °
"No, sirree! I guess they know bet-
ter,"replied Bob Fairelough, handling m
a new Winchester with meaning.

"That's so, but'if they spot us be -

That is the spirit of the West,
hree to one is about a fair match in
the eyes of the Western man, if the
ne is white, with rather havy odds
n the one, and history has proved
that the handicap is not too heavy in
ost eases. although some "fool
esbites," as Al would have put it, may
ometimes "get left."
The Boss, at any rate, seemed sat -
stied, and the five went on silently
n the darkness, which was of the kind
Meth absolutely obliterates every-
thing. A chinook wind was blowing,
me of those curiously soft warm
winds which occur in British Colum-
bia, cutting the snow off the hills in a
few hours like a red hot knife. By
their ears they could tell when they
were riding over prairie, for then
there was only the whisper of the
grass at then feet, or through timber,

"I hope so, indeed, IlIr Fairclough,

danger having ladies and an invalid to

' are going out to try to round up Khel-

you know, used to shoot at Wimble-
ton, and I can beat him a bit most
times."
Rolt smiled at the ingenuous state-
ment, but he wanted men who could
hit something more difficult than a
target at a measured two hundred
garde 'from a rest. That style of
sheeting would do from the ranch
windows, but if it Caine to shooting
off -hand from the saddle, he lire-
ferred to trust sonic of his boys who
had never heard of Wintbleton.
"Thank you, very much. But I
think you must be content with the i
place of honor. It will be good to
know that two such shots are watch-
ing over the ladies' safety. I'll take
the trail to -night, Jim," r
"Better let me go instead, Bow."
"One of us two must stay, Jim
and you have had your' share of fun,"
Jim hesitated, and prepared to ar-

And yet with the instinct of a horn-
ing pigeon, old Al led them steadily
on, never complaining of the dark-
ness, never hesitating, or asking ques-
tions, and his companions felt their
way after him, trusting implicitly to
his gu'nlance and to the instinct of
their horses,

gloom ahead: of, and above them.
"Gosh!' I didn't know that we were

fool hadn't have touched his fire I'd
have blundered right into them. Lie

For a quarter of an hour the five
men lay motionless, and 'so still was
everything that before the fifteen
minutes had passed, the Boss felt con-
vinced that the light which they had
seen must have been born on their

GERMANS WANT POLAND.
Would "Liberate" the Poles is the
Way They Tell it.
That part of the German Chan-
cellor's recent speech dealing with the
"liberation" of Russian Poland and
the Baltic Provinces has given im-
mense satisfaction in Germany. It
is not so long• ago that Germany was
credited with advising Pretograd to
take sterner measures against Polish
nationalist pretensions, and to curb
the propganda which the Lithuanians
and Letts were carrying on for as-
quiriug local government.
But now all this is changed, and
Germany steps into the arena ties the
liberator of Poland and the Baltic
Provinces Baron Von Engelhardt, a
well-known Bavarian writer, has tak-
en up the cudgels on behalf of what
he calls the "German" Baltic Prov
maces. Although they were Russian
Provinces tete years ago, he finds now
that the entire region is permeated,
with Germanism, and that the domin-
ion of Sweden, Poland, and Russia
has not deflected the inhabitants from
their German language "kultur," and
sentiment. Those who have not re-
mained German are renegades.
After. an 'historical review of the •
provinces, Baron Engelhardt spooks
of the various methods of Russifca- '
tion pursued by the Tsar's Govern- I
meet, and holds up hands of horror
at the stella islcen by the "Musco-
vites" to. impose Russian ways on the
inhabitants. If the baron had 're-
called the cruel and persistent meas-
eros of the Prussian Government
against their own Poles, the suppres-
sion of the Dance of Schleswig, anal t
the arbitrary systean, of rule which
prevailed for 40 years in Alsace -Lor-
rains he would have been more reti-
cent with regard to Russian rule,
The writer works out a grandiose
plan for the settlement of the "Ger-
man" Baltic Provinces with German -
colonists. "We badly require lands
for colonizing purposes. It means
daily bread for us. It means also
that we will Inc able ter retain =l-
ions of Germans who are otherwise
