What Hu ntley
jlnltHe jgnfttsion and excitement no
one had thonght of him but after mat-
ters began to calm down a little his
f riendu began to make anxious inquiry
He vra Isist seen a moment before tbe
renegade was shot The attack on the
Indians had been so sudden that many
of them tluutrfifid on foot and it was
hopedthattthose having the prisoner in
charge wouldi leave him behind in their
paniiv J U
A eearch was made for two mil s
around but no trace of the captive
could be found Hurried as they were
the savages had managed to run him
off When thw fact became generally
fcnown wore than one man sadly shook
nis head and m nttered
Hoor Jim Better for him ihe were
iying here a corpse
The yarty of soldiers ajid hunters were
anxious to get on and an hour after the
tigliting had ceased the wagon train
moved out of the inclosure in good
shape and with n > fear of being again
molested for days to come Most of the
dead warriors were stripped of their or
tiamenifl at least while arms and air >
mnuition were carefully gathered up
Ho one thought of burying the dead
The Indians would return for that pur
pose If not let the wolves and vultures
bav their feast
Let ns trace the fate of Huntley You
may be one of those who believe that
the Indian has been grievously wronge1
You may believe he has the sentiments
attributed to him by novelists Yon
may have read that the feeling of mercy
nan u iodginenKin his heart
When the man rode out of the fort on
his scout be firmly believed that the In-
dians hadJwithdrawn AHe was a brave
man t None but a brave man would
have periled his life to back his
opinions in the face of tlie jvarnings hn
received jWJien he rode Out for half a
mile and turned to the left the last
doubt vanished The Indians had with-
drawn He had made assertions and
proved his sagacity
Next moment as he disappeared over
the crest of the ridge he found himself
in the midst of a horde of Indians lyirg
in cdhcealmrnt He uttered one lour
farreachim shout of astonishment an1
was pulled from his horse to be menaced
to silence by tomahawk and knife But
theye was no need tor menace him
A great terror seemed to have frozen
the blood in his veins He could not
havecried out again had they pricked
him with thoic knives He was dumb
He washelpless
The captives signal pfjalarin had been
heard and understood at the fort and
the Indiana angered tjhatjtheir trap had
been exposed now shojved themselves
and affairS turned fis relattfih the pre-
vious chapter j 3 k

the defeated and decimated band
They had but one
l > ccoino loosened and his guards wera
watching the preparations Uttering
the hunter warwhoop and wrenching
himself free in the sudden effort ho
twisted a tomahawk from the belt of
the nearest savage and began to lay-
about him
He could not escape Ho realized that
he would be quickly overpowered and
tortured with additional fervor for every
blow he struck but ho dashed here and
there with the strength of a giant and
the frenzy of a madman
Crash Crash Crashl
The Indins were taken bysurpriso by
the hunter s sudden break and theu
there was such a terrible change in his
looks that they shrank away appalled
His whine of supplication had changed
to shrill yells of defiance his eyes no
longer betrayed u terror stricken soul
Swish Sweep Crash
He buried the sharp tomahawk to the
eye at every blow He followed them
upits they fell r away before him As
they cried out in alarm lie shouted in de-
fiance
It was a momentarypanic They
could have shot him down but the
chiefs kept shouting orders not to do it
Thefrenzi d anddesperato man had
killedtwo andwoundedthree when ho
wasjdriyen foj bayaud found himself
surrounded HtTstood for
panting amo
ment with his exertions while the blood
dripped from the sharp tomahawk upon
T the green grass
To the right to theleft in front in
urear the circlewas closing in npon him
There was no escape v
With lightninglike movements the
man swung the tomahawk about him
cutting and gashing himself in a dozen
places and as a rush was made ilettotr
tered andfell like somegreat tree which
had lived out its century and was weary
of further life Blood was spurtin
from several veins and arteries and er
he conld be dragged to the stake ar I
bound lifehad fled When this facfrbV
came known there was a general ho
of and disappointment and doze
rage a
wine when lie returns Irorn
savages fell upon the poor body with
the fury of fiends They scalped worlc and keep away fromIbi ur all
severed the head andkicked
disagreeable and icdions adtnirers
They
about for a football They cut off
handsondfeet andBflnngt thenrnbout
They hacked and cut and slashed and
gave themselves up to their devilish
passion for blood and revenge but the
poor body was beyond feeling
For1 ever Indian revealing the hon-
est courage of the wjiite man there ara
a thousand skulking cowards
For7every redskin feeling the senti
mentsj
who i
ior every savage wao nas rewaro
ed the kindness of the white man witli
another act of kindness a hundred have
laid in wait for his life
Sojcalled humanitarians eay that tbe
Indian has hereditary rights because hfl
was here when the white man came S < i
were the wolves bears panthers ana
serpents
They shed tearsbecause he has bees
pushed back from the shores of the At-
lantic to the plains ofthe west ThatH

and enlightened country on earth has

The American Indian has no prototype
He stands out on the records afciviliza

i for vengeance Had they held a hun onsand vindictive of earths inhabitants
j dred prisoners each one would have He has never shown mercy and never

Fifty enraged savages rushed at him pocrisy revenge and murder
to chop him to pieces with knife and He is good only when uied as a ferti
tomahawk but the chiefs restrained lizer
them A speedyvdeath would betoo
mercifnl and deprive them of antici
patod enjoyments As soon as the scouts
postedou the distant ridges signaled
that the white men were moiing for the
forks there was no occasion for further
delayl
Huntleys demeanor had nnde gone a
change That dumb terror which bad
made a woman of him had passed away
and his own brave spirit had returned to
make a man of him Ho reproached
himself for his cowardice in begging of
the fiends to spare his life He thirsted
for reyengo He exulted over their
bloody defeats
Let a pack of wolves follow on the
trail of u brave man und he may seek to
outrun them dodge escape He will
feir them Let them drive hira intd a
culde sac from which there is no escape
and he will turn and light them oven
with bare hands ami die fighting
A sapling was cut down and driven
into the ground for a stake and a dozen
savages ran about to collect fagots for
a fire

Everjr small town from California
