This mocuentarUy •checked the ad- tan<v of the Indians, for the band halted to rob the jiaek. _ The delay enabl'd the Rangers to reach tin- top of the divide. Corporal Brown looked bark. Tlie entire Indian hand was grouped alxmt the fallen ipolr and the magazine. lie reined up his panting horse, set Ethel iqxin the ground, and leaping from the saddle lumeelf. cried: “Halt, men—lie low—the magazine!” Tlie Indians were already mounting, srhen ho raiMsl hi* rifle to hi* shoulder.’ took (piick aim at the magazine Ixlow, and with a firayer that the sliot might prove effectual, pulled the trigger - Almost simultaneously with the crack of the rifle was another rejiort tliat seemrel to rend the earth.

In his secret heart, however, he wished that the Indians might attack them; not that he wanted to jeopardize his fair charge's safety, but simply to show her how Rangers could fight. They camped for dinner at Moxon’s were wet presently by a big gang of the navvies, who had been alarmed by the explosion, which, so it was stated, was heard twenty miles away. Corporal Crown explained matters; hpt he made a longer explanation to Ethel, and a still longer opt* to her father afterward, who said in reply: “Jibe's young to marry, corporal, and I’d thought to keep her wfth me Several years yeti hut you’ve fairly won her, and she’s yours. 1 only exact from you one promise—leave the Ranger service and go hack east with me.
