FRIENDS TO THE RESCUE.
Long after the mourners had dis-
persed, Kildare and Tuscarora sat in
their saddles at the gate of the ceme-
tery.

around, and was staring intently at
the rise back of the cemetery down

immediately the cause of the little
man's interest. Silhouetted against
the sky were six horsemen. As the
two of them watched, the riders
separated. One went north, and the
others dashed away to the east.
