Ricunjgr carefully, they meet a young •wo*u&n r u n n i n g »om a party of In- dians. Dlfisdale takes her on his horse *nd the two men ride through: her pur- *uerb, killing three. Where the girl's party had been surprised the tr&Yelers discrn nine aead bodies, the girl being the only survivor of the outfit. After a, running fight, in which two. more In- dians are killed, the three reach the end of the canyon, and safety. 2*he girl tells them her name is Lottie Carl, and she has no relatives. At Custer City they hear of the Killing: of ^*"Wiia Bill** Hickock at Oeadwood, iand tfae to thorn Incomprehensible release of his slayer. Near Deadwood they overtake a pros- pector whom Joe hails as old r *Iron Pyrites." CHAPTER lit—At Ueadwobd City San Juan Joe, popular in the- connnu- nlty k is given an enthusiastic welcome, which is extended to Dinsdale when the story of t h e wiping out of the out- fit and the killing of the five Indians is told, Dinsdale tells J o e of t h e roboery of a Union Pacific train at Ogalala, and the gambler Informs the crowd. Joe takes Dinsdale and Lottie to the house of a -woman of the town, Kitty the Bcbemer, Joe's mistress, where the gambler had Intended to install Xottie. Dinsdale refuses to allow it, and after a somewhat bitter quarrel lie leaves, taking JLottle to a house Where she will - be safeguarded, and finding: other l o d ^ inga for himself.

San Juan *'oe hints to Dinsdale that the town is sizing him up as a road-agent Or tram-robber, and advises him to go with pyrites o n a prospecting trip. He also hints of coming profitable "work" lh which he can Interest Dinsdale. CHAPTER V.—At a meeting of road- agents plana are made to rob one of the treasure-coaches which, under hsavy guard, periodically leave Dead- Wood for th* outside world. Dinsdale acquires a reputation as a. reckless spender and an eicpeirt gunman. San Juan Joe, believing Dinsdale to be a train-robber, -warns him of the coming Of "Jim Omaha," Onion Pacino detec- tive, and again advises him to take a prospecting trip with Pyrites, Dinsdale appears reluctant.

He ceased singing.and made a little mound of the stones* using those Dins- dale had collected as well as his own. On top of the pile he placed his pic- ture of Hato Tipi with a siagle stofce to keep it from blowing away. Then~ rising to his feet and throwing back _his head so as to gane at tihetop of the butte he shouted in the Teton: "Men from the earth we are. \ have «ung about somethbag. for which have pity on usi" , To Dinsdale he whispered:' "More rocks and do* as I do. I have repeated a Teton prayer to Tahkan,» , As he spoke he finished gathering rocks, this time taking no* care as to their shape, and walked to a tree and began placing them beitween the branches. Dinsdale did likewise. Now came the last test Slowly ad- vaneing toward the mouth of the path, by the side of which were crouched the Indians* and holding a rock in each hand, Scissors began shouting; j "They really say a white man turns - red and comes to your mountain*. 0 Tunkasila (grandfather), for help to escape from white men,** Tliey passed through a fringe xsf sage, and Scissors stretched out nls hands to brash the bushes back from the mouth of the path, and Dinsdale caught Ms first glimpse of the hidden warriors, several coppeiscOIored faces glaring* several copper hands clutch- ing rifles and revolvers. Then they were swarming out of their ambuscade and were aiming their weapons at the two white men. Nimble hands plucked the revolvers from Dinsdale*s belt and searched Scissors in vain for arms, A warrior ran to the two norses and se> cured Dinsd&ie*s rifle. ^Phen the two were hurled to the ground. *'Show no fight," muttered Scissors, To hlg savage captors he boldly cried; "Ha-a-a, warrlo'rsi They say I come back to you with my two knives talk- ing.

The^ftect on the war- riors was pronounced, although they betrayed nothing except to lpok more closely at the paper pictures on Dins- dale's bat,, Ones of ttoem picked It up, and all quickly understood the story the pictures were meant to teiL tEhe splritied action of the; galloping horses appealed to them, The horseman a few Inches ahead of the united string was Dinsdale, of course. That all should be Identical In outline; impressed them as betag very wakan. "White men had sold metallic cartridges to the hostlles, and within a month a man had" been caught With a wagon, filled wfth munitions, bound for. a northern village* But if High Wolf, famous mystery; man and wearer of a necklace of human fingers, should be within reach of a messenger the lie would be exposed offhand. One of the warriors called attention to the paper picture of the butte. Ex* cept those holding the prisoners to ground, all advanced to this and ex- amined it carefully. The -mall mound of Tunkan stones, together with the oatii&e, formed a combination that Little Bl£ Mm dared not trifle with. He talked aside with a middle-aged, warrior, then gave an order. One of the group produced a small mirror and ran into the path leading up the butte.

SYNOPSIS

CHAPTER I.—In the late summer of ISTfi. Pester Ednsdale, <fix h{3 -way to Uie Black JiUls t « j&|« the th rosg of «oia-eeekers, makes tfae acqtialntaitce of t h e ketff^er of s- Deadwood gamfeUng house, San Juan Joe, -who is re turning t o Dt^tl-arood,

CHAPTER II.-~On their way througrli Retl canyon Dinsdale and Joe hear ehois, apparently far ahead of them. Ricunjgr carefully, they meet a young •wo*u&n running »om a party of In­dians. Dlfisdale t akes her on his horse *nd the two men ride through: her pur-*uerb, kil l ing three. Where the girl's pa r ty had been surprised the tr&Yelers d i s c r n nine aead bodies, the girl being the only survivor of the outfit. After a, running fight, in which two. more In­dians a re killed, the three reach the end of the canyon, and safety. 2*he girl tells them h e r name is Lottie Carl, and she has no relatives. At Custer City they hear of the Killing: of *"Wiia Bill** Hickock a t Oeadwood, iand tfae to thorn Incomprehensible release of his slayer. Near Deadwood they overtake a pros­pector whom Joe hails as old r*Iron Pyri tes ."

CHAPTER l i t — A t Ueadwobd City San Juan Joe, popular in the- connnu-nltyk is given an enthusiastic welcome, which i s extended to Dinsdale when the s tory of t he wiping out of the out­fit and the kil l ing of t h e five Indians is told, Dinsdale tel ls Joe of t h e roboery of a Union Pacific train a t Ogalala, and the gambler Informs the crowd. Joe takes Dinsdale and Lottie to the house of a -woman of t h e town, Ki t ty the Bcbemer, Joe's mistress, where the gambler had Intended to install Xottie. Dinsdale refuses t o allow it, and after a somewhat b i t t e r quarrel lie leaves, taking JLottle to a house Where she will -be safeguarded, and finding: other l o d ^ inga for himself. Dinsdale saves an ap­parently half-witted individual, known as Scissors, from mistreatment a t the hands of a "bad inatt," Bandy Allen, Who vows vengeance on Dinsdale,

CHAPTER rv.—Some days later Dins-dais: sixain meets Scissors, whose nick-nat..« ,d derived from h i s ability t o cut. With paper and scissors, remarkable likenesses of persons, o r anything that strikes his fancy, Dinsdale takes to Mia. i ron Pyri tes arr ives in town. San Juan *'oe hints t o Dinsdale that the town is sizing him up a s a road-agent Or tram-robber, and advises him t o go with pyri tes o n a prospecting trip. He also hints of coming profitable "work" lh which he can Interest Dinsdale.

CHAPTER V.—At a meet ing of road-agents plana are made to rob one of the treasure-coaches which, under hsavy guard, periodically leave Dead-Wood for th* outside world. Dinsdale acquires a reputat ion as a. reckless spender and an eicpeirt gunman. San Juan Joe, believing Dinsdale to be a train-robber, -warns him of the coming Of "Jim Omaha," Onion Pacino detec­tive, and again advises him to take a prospecting t r ip with Pyrites, Dinsdale appears reluctant.

WMie Dins­dale is in the ceiiar, a man enters the cabin. Dinsdale eai ls to hins to come down, and t a k i n g him by surprise knocks hint senseless. He makes his way back to Pyrites.

*Only for the sake of looking for a hostile smoke* If alone rd want to go, as it was there, at the top of Mate TIpf, that I gave the Ogalala Teton the slip. I went with a hanid to: place small rocks In the trees to memory of the dead* I came down the southeast atoper In ffie dark,*" . *

"What the devflf sharply d&naad;-^d Dinsdaie, submitting to the decora­tion because of his surprise, . ,rpon*t do anything. Don't look, F W t say anything. Don't touch a jinn. .We've run toto a trap» whis­pered Scissors, *

'Indiahsr muttered Dinsdale, stand-log motionless.

^In the scrub just beyond the mouth of the pati, TheyHi riddle us If we try to mount Do as I do and show no fear when tliey break cover."

Se kneeled and began picking up small rocks, searching for those round and unweathered, Otosdale dropped Uowa beside h|m and blindly imitated • bis example. And as he picked up tlie stones Scissors sang In English pie song he had sung In the Teton;

From everywhere they come fiytngr ~ From the north the wind is blowing to

earth, ' Rattl ing, flyiiig, they come, they come* From everywhere they cOme."

He ceased singing.and made a little mound of the stones* using those Dins­dale had collected as well as his own. On top of the pile he placed his pic­ture of Hato Tipi with a siagle stofce to keep it from blowing away. Then~ rising to his feet and throwing back

_his head so as to gane at tihetop of the butte he shouted in the Teton:

"Men from the earth we are. \ have «ung about somethbag. for which have pity on usi" ,

To Dinsdale he whispered:' "More rocks and do* as I do. I have

repeated a Teton prayer to Tahkan,»,

As he spoke he finished gathering rocks, this time taking no* care as to their shape, and walked to a tree and began placing them beitween the branches. Dinsdale did likewise.

Now came the last test Slowly ad-vaneing toward the mouth of the path, by the side of which were crouched the Indians* and holding a rock in each hand, Scissors began shouting; j

"They really say a white man turns -red and comes to your mountain*. 0 Tunkasila (grandfather), for help to escape from white men,**

Tliey passed through a fringe xsf sage, and Scissors stretched out nls hands to brash the bushes back from the mouth of the path, and Dinsdale caught Ms first glimpse of the hidden warriors, several coppeiscOIored faces glaring* several copper hands clutch­ing rifles and revolvers. Then they were swarming out of their ambuscade and were aiming their weapons at the two white men. Nimble hands plucked the revolvers from Dinsdale*s belt and searched Scissors in vain for arms, A warrior ran to the two norses and se> cured Dinsd&ie*s rifle. ^Phen the two were hurled to the ground.

*'Show no fight," muttered Scissors, To hlg savage captors he boldly cried;

"Ha-a-a, warrlo'rsi They say I come back to you with my two knives talk­ing. They really say I bring a man who runs from the whites to save his m<t> ??o Strong gparia, who foilow-Tatankaiyotake {Sitting Bull) are here, for I see no war-bonnets made from the tail-feathers of eagles, with horns worn on the front* 1 see no old men who helong to the White Horse Eiders, I do not «ee WasechuntajF hunfca {American Horse), my brother.

The ieadefs visage continued fierce and unrelenting, yet he refrained from speaking the word that would precip­itate the butcher/. After a minute of silence he siullenly said: 1 "M*t!e ^$ Man has no white broth­ers. A voice: says, the white tsen go to gght with Wiehakpayamani (Three-stars—'Crook's Sioux name)* They go to help fight against the Dakota.? * "The voice lies," tersely corrected Scissors, * , >

*'What-ig- thii medicine on|the~n:si of the white man?" *

"White men tried to kill him. They say he sold a wagon of cartridges to the Cheyennes, He Is a friend of High wolf, the Cheyenne mediclne-;man,', * . ' v" ] The dots of persplratlott, on Dins-dale's face would have doubled had Jbj&.njndei8toj2a sors knew his statement was a des­perate gamble. The^ftect on the war­riors was pronounced, although they betrayed nothing except to lpok more closely at the paper pictures on Dins-dale's bat,, Ones of ttoem picked It up, and all quickly understood the story the pictures were meant to teiL tEhe splritied action of the; galloping horses appealed to them,

The horseman a few Inches ahead of the united string was Dinsdale, of course. That all should be Identical In outline; impressed them as betag very wakan. "White men had sold metallic cartridges to the hostlles, and within a month a man had" been caught With a wagon, filled wfth munitions, bound for. a northern village* But if High Wolf, famous mystery; man and wearer of a necklace of human fingers, should be within reach of a messenger the lie would be exposed offhand.

One of the warriors called attention to the paper picture of the butte. Ex* cept those holding the prisoners to ground, all advanced to this and ex­amined it carefully. The -mall mound of Tunkan stones, together with the oatii&e, formed a combination that Little Bl£ Mm dared not trifle with. He talked aside with a middle-aged, warrior, then gave an order. One of the group produced a small mirror and ran into the path leading up the butte. To Scissors the leader said J "Soon it will be known In Tashunca-tiltco's. camp at Slim Butte that -2!Wo Knives Talking find another white man are In out* camp." »

The prisoners were Jerke?! to tfteir feet, and no Sooner were they erect than their nahds were drawn behind them and fastened. Their horses were brought up and they were helped to mount Little Bjg Mm and the older* warrior rode la the lead and struck off to the east of tBfe b%tte and ttirne^,

The leader was telling1 of the capture and bragging mightily and demanding a , new song he made for Mm. lie talked Into an anti-climax when a camp war­rior Informed him that the signals from the butte had been caught' and a message sent to Crazy Horse. l i t t le Big Man ordered the white men to be placsd to a lodge with tiipir harids tied, behind them and their bodies roped to the center pole.

Suspended from a medlch.o t> >le beside the lodge was a strangled pup­py, war medicine, Scissors explained,. Hanging inside the lodge was a caval­ry guidon, and an officers glove, proofs of this particular band's par­ticipation In the fight <n the JUttle PAg Horn.

"Now what happens to us?" asked Dinsdale after they had heen trussed up to the center pole and left alone. - *I'm wakan," doggedly replied Scis­sors.
