of your rifles, a pistol, anything, I will
wing as inane* redskins as I; can; not
for your sakes, particularly, but for my
own." replied Joe, hurriedI. .
There was no time for further words.
A belt containing a brace of seven -
shooters and cartridges was flung. to
hien, and at that moment the redskins
dashed into sight. For a moment they
seemed fairly bewildered at the score or
more of faces that loomed up before
Clew:n;, -when they had expected to behold
but one fleeting form. But they were
equal to the occasion; the Pawnee is
seldom or never taken at a disadvan-
tage. Though surprised at the number
of whites, they had no thought of shirk-
ing the fierce contest on that account.
The Indians seemed to have increased
in numbers. There were fully fifty of
them advancing like an avalanche upon
the la.ndits from around the sharp bend
in the road!
As they neve in sight, riding furiously,
half a dozen abreast, the rifles of the
desperate robbers made wild havoc
among them.
In the midst of the whites they be-
held their escaping captive, and with
denwniac yells of fury their first ar-
rows were pointed at hire. But luckily
their aim was so hurried, the flew harm-
lessly past him. The firearms of the
bandits and the dexterity with which
they use them gave them great advan-
tage over the Pawnees, and in the ter-
rific battle which ensued the latter were
cat down like grass with the scythe.
In the midst of the carnage Joe
thought it wisest and best for his own
safety to make his escape as quickly
as possible, for the safety of Hadley
depended upon his reaching there as
quiekly as possible and warning the
vilagers of their peril.
The excitement was at its height,
both the bandits and the savages fight-
ing like veritable demons for supremacy.
No one seemed to notice Joe when he
edged his horse further and further
away from the centre of the con-
flict, dropping out of -sight eventually
behind a heavy clump of trees, which
effectually shielded both himself and
horse.
Turning quickly he galloped as swiftly
as the noble little animal could carry
him through the forest, heading for a
point whioh opened out upon the main
road, Some thxee ,,.fou. miles Woijd

were "bdth the'enemies of the villagers.
Tai ehrs, ;great anxiety;; his pony, • be-
gan. at,.last to show signs of the heavy
'strain tb which he had been subjected.
`.`I 'see. that you must rest, poor fel-
low,". murmured Joe, patting the .glossy,
arched neek, as he slid down from • the
animal's back.
Should he push onward` and abandon
the pony, or wait beside him until lie
should be able to carry him along the
rest of his. journey.
Again Fate decided the question for
him•. '
At the unexpected crackling close at
hand among the underbrush, caused by
the falling limb of a tree, the animal
suddenly took fright, wheeled quickly
about with a neigh of terror, and plung-
ed suddenly into the path he had but
but just come, and in lens time than it
takes to tell it, was out of Joe's sight. '
"That settles the matter," he mused.
"I must make the way back on foot." '
Herealized that he was horribly weak,
and that the progress he would make
must be necessarily slow; but this fact
did not daunt him. He pushed on as rap-
idly as possible.
The brace of weapons, the property
of the bandits, he still had with him,
for lie !drew full well that he might
have great need of them ere he reach-
ed his journey's end. Yet their heavy
weight told greatly against his speedy
progress. If he could but reach the main
road, he felt that all -would be well
with him, for he would encounter some
one of the Hadley stages. Then he need
have no further f ear.
It was a bold bandit indeed that would
attempt to hold up one of the Hadley
stages, and the Indians were by far too
cunning to thus lay themselves liable
to the anger of the government, who
might out of revenge exterminate them,
drive them from their hunting grounds,
still further from the haunts of men.
As he was pondering over this mat-
ter an arrow suddenly whizzed past him,
burying itself in the trunk of a tree
close by.
In an instant Joe's hand was on the
stock of his revolver, and, following the
direction from which it had come, he
saw a tall bush to the right of him move
slightly.
There was no choice left him but to
fire into it quickly; despite the loud re-
study. the probable outcome of his ac-
tion, thus guiding the foes which he had.
left behind him to where he was.
Without stopping to take time to
study the probabl outcome of his ac-
tion, he took hurried aim and fired
thrice in rapid succession,
As soon as the bullet struek the bush-
es there was a deep, guttural groan.
Joe sprang toward the bush without
stopping to think whether or not the
heavy underbrush concealed on foe or
half a dozen.
Parting the heavy branches, he peer-
ed behind them cautiously.
His keen eyes were used to discern-
ing objects even in the deep shade of
the wood b- this time.
There, stretched upon the green
sward, he beheld the stalwart form of
an Indian.
A rift of moonlight drifted in through
the interlacing trees above, and by its
light Joe could see that his bullet had
done its work. The glazed eyes were
glaring ghastly beneath the blue and
red streaks of war paint.
Joe knew by the way in which his
scalp lock of coarst black shale was
twined and braided, and by the color
of ,his warpaint, that he was a Pawnee;
also by his battered and broken eagle
plume, and his richly embroidered wam-
pum bolt, that he was one of the chiefs
of the tribe. With this knowledge came
another remembrance to our hero, and
that was that these warrior chiefs nev-
er travel alone—they were always ac-
companied by two or more braves.
Joe looked eautlbusly about him.
Where were this chiefs companions?
Surely they could not be much more
than a league away. Perhaps even at
that moment they were stealing upon
him silently as shadows from among
the trees, no doubt surrounding him.
He stood quite still. All was deathly

"Can yo -1 doubt me, beloved?" he au-

Tho lightness, e:trelessness .of his tone
jarred upon her.
"Then my grandfather misunderstood
your words and meaning, Clifford?" she
interrogated, gravely.
"Certainly, if he has come to any oth
or conclusion than that I adore his
charming granddaughter," he replied,
gathering the girl up in leis arms and
kissing the words trembling on her lips
into silence.
"Of course I love you; Norine," he de-
clared. "Why, I love you so well that
I would giver my life to save yours, if
necessary. You know they are still in
hopes that that rascally thief, Joe Brain-
ard, who stole all that money from the
express company, will come' back some
day, and that they will marry you to
him; that is -the reason they are so bit-
ter against me, and are doing their best
to part as by telling you that I don't
love you. I wonder that you do not see
through it."
T never thought of that. Perhaps
you are right," declared Norine, with a
little gasp in her voice. "Ilow strange
that I did not think to look at it in draft

me for letting a doubt creep into my

"Yes,•if it never occurs again," he an-

by the gate she saw the great oaken
door swing open and the subject of her
thoughts come down the walk.
Norine did not attempt to conceal
himself. Indeed, she uttered a ore- of de-
lighrt, witch came from the very depths
of her poor, tortured little heart. Clif-
ford Carlisle heard the sound and paus-
ed abruptly.
"Is that you, No see?" be do:rend:A,
in a very annoyed '... of voice, as he
attempted to peer through the darkness
toward the spot free, whence the sound
proceeded.
"Yes," sobbed the girl, springing to
his side, addling, as she caught his arm
in the olasp of her trembling fingers:
"Oh, how fortunate I am in seeing you,
Clifford, dearest."
He shook off her hand roughly, ex-
claiming:
"I see; you sent in the old man to tell
me the story you bed tu:ude up between

"Oh, Clifford, do not speak so 'unkind,

some letters, seed you shall tell me
abVttt it,' he said, taking her arra in a
not very. leaaant mood.
With fa tering voice Norine told him
truthfully, just what had occurred. She.
.expected -him to- vigorously refute the
charge that he did not love her, but in
.stead, to the girl's great astonishment,
•he 15roke tato a sneering laugh—, -a, laugh
•that made the blood run cold in her
veins.
"Well, whatever comes of the affair,
you. h+ave,,brought it on yourself, Nor-
ine;" he declares. "It would now be a
rather difficult matter to take you with
me when I go Euet; • the opportunities
for getting off are so perilous."
"Not if we were—were married," she
faltered, timidly, "and—and I will eon -
sent -to marry you and go with you,
Clifford."
He laughed a harsh, grating laugh,
answering sneeringly:
"I am sure I ought to be very much
obliged to you for. yourkindly inten-.
tions, Norine, but the feet of the matter
is, I cannot marry you under the terms
of the wills just yet, until I reach New
York and transact some business that
remains to be attended to there. Do
you convprehend?"
"Oh•, Clifford!" moaned the girl. "I
cannot part from you; I should surely
diet You cannot mean to go away
without marrying sue, and --and taking
me with you, as you have so often told
me you would if I wouiI consent to go
with you, dear."
Ife bit his lisp in vexation. He had
been very careful not to use the word
marriage in talking with Norine in the
past; and now to !rear her pin her faith
to has promise of making her his wife
annoyed. him exceedingly, to say the
least.
"You must listen and heed what I
have to say, Norine," he replied, dog-
gedly and evasively. "I cannot marry
until I reach the East, and corse into
full possession of this fortune. Now do
you understand the position 1 am plac-
ed in? If you wish to go with the under
these circumstances, well and good; if
not, I must leave you behind me. I
leave you,free to make your own choice.
1 don't went you to ever have it to say
that I ever pomaded. you in this mat -
tee."
Norine was so much of a thoughtlews,
innocent child that she did not realize
the drift cf his carefully selected words,
She only understood one thing, and that
was, that he wanted her to marry hive
when he sdiouid get the great fortune
that bold been left him. That was all
that s.he nuderstood clearly.
Even While they were talking Clifford
Carlile was telling himself that lie was
tired of the girl. Ile had enjoyed the
love -making while she had been content
to say nothing, hear nothing, of marri-
age; hut now that that subject filled her
mind he was beginning to tire of it. He
knew, too, full well that he would never
dare make any other woman than Flor-
ice Austin his wife. Florice held him in
her power too completely for that
And yet Norine Gordon was so exqui-
sitely lovely he could not bear the
thought of giving her up.
If he could have managed to have
grasped the fortune without Florice Aus-
tine having such a damaging hold on
him, he might have been tempted on
the spur of the moment to have married
Norine, But as it stood, there was no
possibility of it; not the slightest.
Still, he did not quite have the heart,
cool rascal that he was, to tell the girl
who was clinging to hien with such pas-
sionate sobs the plain truth; and it was
very pleasing to him, too, to see how
completely the pretty creature was in
love with him.
"Do not weep, :gothic," he whispered.
"I. have changed my plans about leaving
Hadley for a fortnight yet; or I may
be detained still longer in this confound-
ed hole, so we will have ample time to
talk this matter over. These very let-
ters in my hand must go east, and be
answered, ere I shall know my future
plans entirely. So let us not think of
this unpleasant subject any longer. A
man likes a girl who laughs and is merry
with him, Norine, not one who falls in•
to tears at his approach, so call forth
the smiles to your pretty lips, kiss me,
and swear never to fall into such weak-
ness again when I am about, I do not

STOCKING DYE
CAUSED POKSON..
A case at Kingston shows vividly the dan-
ger of neglecting to apply Zam-Buk to a out
or a sore. Mrs. R. Harrison, living in Place
d'Armes, while attending to her household
duties, struck her ankle against a sharp ob-
jection on the furniture. She took no notice
of the injury, deeming it trivial.. In a dist'
or two the ankle began to swell and cause ex-
cessive pain. A doctor, called in, found that
dyc from her stocking had entered the wound
and set up blood. poison. Treatment with
Zein -Buie: followed, but it was several days
before the limb was out of danger. "Hadit
not been for the powerful antiseptic properties
of Zam-Buk and its exceptional healing vir-
tues, the wound might have had a very serious
result," says Mrs. Harrison. "But I believe
if I had applied Zam-Buk at the time of the
injury, it would have prevented the blood -
poisoning altogether."

Some Causes of Failure.
Long years of experience have demon-
strated to the seekers after the underly-
ing causes of business failure the fact
that, generally speaking, four-fifths of
all failures are due to faults inherent in
the person, while about one-fifth are due
to causes outside and beyond his own
control. This proportion varies slightly
in some years of stress, but on the whole.
the percentages are so constant that in
themselves they constitute a virtual
guarantee of statistical accuracy. Under
the head of faults due to the subject
himself the following causes are group-
ed by Bradstreet's:
Incompetence (irrespective of other
causes) ,
Inexperience (with other incompe
tence).
Lack of capital.
Unwise granting of credits.
Speculation (outside regular busiuess).
Neglect of business (due to doubtful
habits):
Personal extravagance.
Fraudulent disposition of property.
On the other !rand, the following
causes are classed as not proceeding
from the faults of those failing:
Specific conditions (disaster, panic,
etc.).
Failures of others (of apparently sol-
vent debtors).
Competition.

TEN YEARS' TEST
OF ECZEMA CURE
During its ten years' test, oil of win-
tergreen as compounded in D. D. D. Pre-
scription has thoroughly, absolutely
proven its merits for skin diseases.
Though on sale only a short time in
Canada, it is rapidly duplicating here its
remarkable success in the United States.
Cure after euro, and the testimony of
the world's leading skin specialists, show
plainly that the way to cure the skin is
through the skin; not, however, -by
means of a salve reaching only the outer
skin, but with a penetrating liquid that
gets in to the inner skin, killing the
germs and soothing the healthy tissue.
D, D. D. does just this. It cures—and
it relieves instantly. If you have never
tried it write the D. D. 1). Laboratories,
