Much 'biped ;'lo' the good time," The restraint of the girls' presence being no longer felt, the men's behavior changed in a twinkling. The captain's absence left Pete Halliday, the worst man in the gang, free to foment trou- ble, and he began to do se by sneering at his thief for being brought, as he expressed it, under petticoat govern- ment. There appeared to be two fac- tions in the band—the one beaded by Halliday or Jaycox and the other by Captain Ringold, Halliday set about insti ;sting the guerrillas, or, rather, leis adherents, to go after Helen and Tack and bring them back for another dance. To make matters worse, one eof the men found some applejack, and It was not loeg before the gang were half drunk. Meanwhile the captain returned and received a hearty cursing from Halliday and bis adberents. Sev- eral cf them started to bring back the girls, but Ringold drew upon them and threatened to shoot them unless they returned. Tbey staggered back, grum- bling. and the captain adroitly pro- posedanother pull at the applejack. 'Phis diverted them, and after finishing the liquor one after another sank into .at drunken slumber. It was midnight. Every member of the band was asleep save tbe man who was deputed to guard me. He was sit- ting on a piece of firewood, so placed that he could watch me across the flame. 1 lay on my back looking up at the stars and featherlike clouds that stow and again floated across the great blue dome, the only motion apparent save the tree taps -bending under an oc- casional breeze. The fire flickered, the guard nodded, and an owl in the dis- tends. gave an occasional boot. I heard something stir In the under - trust). Glancing aside, I saw a small light disk over a busb. It was the face of little Buck. Now, in the name of all the gods, will those devoted friends never give over risking their lives in these useless at- tempts? What is to happen now? I -scowled an order to the boy to go away. but be paid no attention to It. 'Something came sliding along the ground and lodged against me. The guard heard it, started, cast A quick glance at me, then about him, but, .seeing nothing, relapsed into his for- mer quietude. I felt for wbat had struck nee and clasped a jackknife. Meanwhile Buck disappeared, but, soon appearing again in his place, held ftp a carbine. He had doubtless stolen et from one of the men who slept on *the edge of the circle about the fire.

Besides for most of the distance Buck traversed in his gun foray the guard's back was toward him. I watch tbe point where Buck's head :fappeared, expecting to see it again, but in its stead presently see two white points. Straining my eyes, I discern the whites of two eyes, then a black face. !T's ONLY A COLD, A TRIFLICGCOUCH" Thousands have said this when they -.taught cold.

Ville, 1.0, 15 minutes elapse. Ginger holds his ground. Has he gone to sleep? No. Another flee minutes, and he bolds up another gun. Ah, I see, Little Buck, with catlike tread, is gathering in the arms. That's well. • He is far better fitted for suck delicate work tban a stiff old negro. The little pantomime begins to take shape in my mind and bring anticipa- tions of more than a fight for my own life. If I can escape and Buck And Ginger secure sufficient arms, it may be possible for all our party to get to- gether and make a 'defense. I must tell Ginger to get some ammunition. But with a guard looking straight at me it is bo easy task to convey an order by signs, and that to a stupid negro. Catching sight of a small stone beside ate, I put out my band, yawning to conceal my intention, let it fall on the stone and soon had it between the knuckle of my thumb and the point of my forefinger, as a boy bolds a marble. Watching till the guard's head is turn- ed, looking meaningly at Ginger, I fire the stone a short distance, hoping he will understand the woril "ammuni- tton. " His face is a blank; it is evi- dent that he does not know what I ntenn, and there is no prospect of his getting it through his thick skull. Ginger turned away, and 1 knew that he Ives speaking to his young master; then Buck's white face showed itself iuqutringly behind the negro's black one. I looked meaningly at Buck and repeated the motion of firing. He caught my meaning and, taking up a gun, made a motion as if ramming a cartridge, looking at me inquiringly. I Indicated that he was right. He went away and after a long absence came Welt and held up four cartridges, two in each hand. '!'ben, puttiug down the boxes, he bold up three fingers, and I knew that they bad secured three guns. He next held up four fingers of the other band, pointing to the sleeping guerrillas, and I knew be proposed to get one more gun. Buck was a long while capturing the fourth gun. • One of the men awoke, yawned, sat up and looked into the fire. yawned again, lay down and was soon snoring. Then the guard got up from where he was sitting. Tbere was a slight sound in the bushes, and he listened attentively. Then be put some wood on the fire and sat down again.

"Are you"— "Yes, and you" -- "Helen. This way." She darted away like a deer. I soon overtook her, and together we ran per- haps half n mile, when she began to climb an ascent leading to the base of an overhanging cliff. I saw through the gloom a large and a small figure climbing just ahead of us and knew they were Ginger and Buck, Helen led the way up to a recess in the cliff, and I saw at once a position that we •e could bold against a dozen men so long as we had food and ammunition. "Bello!" It was Jack's cheery voice. "Goody! Ain't I glad to get out o' the wilderness!" "I'm glad enough," I said as soon as I could get breath to speak, "but you women"— There was no time for words. We set about rolling a big stone into a gap between two others, and as soon as it was in position bad a continuous breastwork. The guerrillas were call- ing to each other in the woods below, but they did not seem to know where we were. I picked up one of the guns Ginger bad thrown down, Buck bad one in his hands, Ginger kept one, and Helen seized the remaining one. "Where do I come in?" chirped Jack. "Here." I handed her the revolver, in which there were five loaded cham- bers, and told her to bold on to it, as she would doubtless need it. We all took position behind our breastworks ready to repel an assault, at the same time seeing to the condition of our pieces. They were cavalry earbines, all loaded and capped ready for use. "Where are your horses?" I asked. "Picketed down there." Helen re- plied, pointing westward, "In a thicket not far from the road." i"Have you anything to eat?" She glanced at a parcel on the ground. "I got that in a cabin. There's some corn pone and pork." "Barely enough for one meal. Any, water?" "There's some water trickling be- tween the rocks back there." "That pone and pork means a chance, but It's a slim one." Ilelen.set her lips, Jack turned pale, Ginger showed no emotion whatever, while Buck remarked that he'd be "darned if he didn't plunk one of 'em, anyway." As for myself, I was aghast tit tbe terrible fate tbat threatened those who had so nobly and so bravely, risked all in my behalf. "What brought you here?" I asked, impatiently, of Helen. "When you were taken from out house I resolved to follow. Buck came in just as I started, and insisted on joining me. We traced you to Colonel Rutland's plantation" -- "I see. It was you I heard coming in after I went up stairs." "Ginger took the horses to the stable and was returning to the house when he saw two men climb a tree near your window and enter your' room. Ho watched from a distance and saw them bring you out, but he could not tell whether they, were taking you away by force or assisting you to es- cape. Coming into the house, be told us what bad happened. "Jack started 'to awaken Captain Beaumont, but I stopped her. If you bad been assisted to escape, tbls would bo fatal.

One circumstance bas led to another, each involving you more deeply. My God, wbat a load of obligation! We can't stay here. We'll starve. Buck, couldn't you slip out In the darkness and find help?" "No, siree; I'm not goin out o' byar. I'm goin t' stay an fight with the rest." "But you may save all our lives." "Why don't you go, Mr. Brandy- ston "I? e?" I must stay with your sister and cousin. Besides, I'm big and couldn't get through as easily as you." "Well, I ain't a-goin to sneak away if I am little." "Bucky," said Jack, "yo' needn't go. I'll go myself."

I thought it best not to discourage Mm by telling bim that this was only a preliminary skirmish, but Asked Jack for the ammunition, and we all reload- ed. The wounded man went back to the captain, who appeared greatly agitated ever the result. He was evidently sur- prised at the reception of his searching party. The men wbo bad gone to the flanks, hearing the tiring, rejoined tbelr leader, and two men wbo bad been in the rear came forward. Heaven preserve use The Gaptaln has started up the slope at the bead of a storming party of eigbt men. I was appalled. We had but four guns and after firing a volley must re- load before firing another. We could not expect to disable more than four men at the first are; then the remaining four would be upon us before we could reload. In quick tones I gave the or- der: "Ali load. I'll fire."

Taking the nest gun now ready, I fired at bim again, but just as 1 did so one of the men stepped in front of bim and received the shot. This finished the assault. The men broke and fled and before I could get another shot were far back toward the position from which they bad started. CHAPTER XIII. ntr.EACCEnEo. TRAM.

I caught his arm, and gave bim a re- proof which for ie while at least caused hire to remember that I was in coni - mend. "I wish they'd attack us again," said the irrepressible boy, "I could 'a' hit that doggoue 'butternut' if somep'n hadn't jiggled my arm." There bad been nothing to joggle the boy's arm, but I thought it best to let bitn keep up his pride—it would make him more serviceable—so I said noth- ing.

IIelen unrolled the little parcel of provisions. 1 directed her to serve a half ration, or, rather, half of what there was and save the rest. She dM so, handing me my portion, which I declined, but she argued that It was Important for all that I should keep up my strength and finally prevailed on me to eat my share.
