what he mlgjlt do to defeat this schemo jim watched the indian well knowing that his partner woo now cautiously leading their string of j ionics down tho shallow current of tho river to mo distant point of landing llokshlma finished his work of heap ing dead willows and grass on thi beeves then bo turned and strode out toward tho far end of the bayou stantlv jim understood the meaning of this move lie would start a flro whore the slight wind would send the flames into the loop between the bayou and tho river i ills flro would thus run only for a short distance before tho breeto and then would nlowly back flro on tho short grassland tho settlors would not discover it for some bourn jim determined at all cents to pro- tent the marauders from carrying out their plan slaking his way hurriedly along tbo edge of the bayou ho reach ed the outer limit of the slough at tho edge of tho tall graasca ahead of tho indian in a dip at the edge of tbo water he roso and with gun on shoul dor walked carelessly over a slight rise before old llokshlma had readied the rim of high grass jim came face to faco with htm- xiowi howl jm cried in a tone of surprise and pleasure holding out his band

tlo of wings and once a nock of mallards passed within view through tho smoke low enough for a wing shot tho brothers did not flro for fear of putting to flight the flocks tliat tucy felt sure must be feeding on tho reaches of tho bayou and tbo stream whan the boys cama to the bayou however they found no waterfowl thcre evidently the ducks taking ad vantage of tbe favorable brecxe were all migrating gulfwnrd jim and i bailey followed the inner reach of the i bayou round to the river where they hoped to find ducks- carefully work- ins their way through a swamp of tall bottom grass they approached the bank as they were passing thro ugh a low cluster of willows they heard tbo subdued whicker of a horse apparently from the river c just below with aroused curiosity the two boys cautiously moved down to the lower edge or the willow growth and peered wrt nnat beneath their feet wore fom- ponies standing in shallow water one of them was loaded with boneless strips of fresh meat another bad numerous strings attache j to its saddle evidently awaiting a similar lading tbe other two carried ordinary indian saddles and to tho pack strings of one were tied a stout indian bow and a quiver of arrows hajlcy and jllm exchanged looks ot excitement for they realized that hero was tho solution of a mystery that bad guon great trouble tq settlers alona tho canadian without a word they aank down among tho willows and waited icrhapii tan minutes hod elapsed when an indian in half- civilized dress come wading round a curve of tbe bank bearing a freshly rolled cow hldo upon his shoulder the brothers again exchanged glances without a question it was those raiders from across tho indian territory luiowho had dono the cattle killings that for more than a year had boon laid to tho new sot tiers along tho canadian and that had caused bad blood between many of them and the range cattle men it was tills business tjiat bad taker tho boyi parents to town six weeks before a herd of rango cattle bad broken into the con ions field one night and bad destroyed almost half of the growing crops on h week ittpr a range steer was killed in a swale near their field the bones of tho skeleton bad been picked before it was discovered but tho men of tho boryn tho nearest ranch had i bitterly cluuged the con ions with bav lng killed tbe steer many animals of the range had been killed along the river settlements and cattlemen gen- 1 trolly accused tho nesters of keeping ragged no good fenoem and then when their crops were injured of kill lag cattle shortly after the con ions had been accused posters appeared along all the highways in which tho panhandle cattle company offered five hundred dollars reward for information that would lead to the arrest of a oow killer ioter con ion had gone to the county seat to seek legal advice what course ho should take to protect tils family from false accusations jim and italley breathlessly watched tho raider tlo his roll of hldo upon the meat pack then the man waded htuii out of night the way bo hall come there would bo no telltale tracks or marks of dripping beef along his trail undoubtedly ho had a partner hand and tho fellows had chosten this smoke befogged day on which to do such work und moke their got away tho brothers quickly doclded that jim ohuuul spy upon tho m twang on his shoes lie crawled through tho marsh gross round to a hummock that overlooked a drop in the river flat as ho had expected tho indians two of them were near ut liojid thoy were at work on tbe second of the cows thoy hod killed in thcjmhxjiid man jim was astonished i to rovngnlxa old llokshlma a fawnos indian who while hunting the small wtil to- tailed deer bad twloe stayed overnight at the conlons house jim cuiuo to a swift decision us

coyotes dont ninturb their leavings the ras nls have guns und we cant take raised his voice in a long drawn shrill cry like tho quavering yelp of coyote presently tho other an swered from not far away when the aecgnd cattlo killer ap pearod he showed no more surprise or other emotion at meeting the white boy than llokshlma had shown jim noticed that like llokshlma the young- pawnee was now armed with a modern brecohloadar they had killed the cows with bows and arrows the guns were unquestionably for defense the indians spoko together for a moment in their own tongue then the turned and accompanied jim a walk of fifteen or twenty mlnutca brought them to tbo conlons house jim seated his guests in tho kitchen and fell to work at getting dinner they lighted their pipes and filled the rootn with the smoke of cheap tobacco greedily they watched jim boil tho potatoes fry the pork cut generous portions of bread and brew a big pot of coffee both had set their guns against a wall behind them when tbey were ijjtedjtosltat the table tbe younger as if by lnsunctwuiiedbl sun and leaned it against a window sill close hand jim without design thought oat near the wall so that his fathers

guests as doubtless they bad seldom known outside the walls of an indian mission when they w midway of the meal jim began wonder what he should do to hold tlo pawnees after dinner he hod deter mined that finally be would insist upon going back to the river with them to show them the tracks of deer that h had seen in the mud of tho bayou ills planning was unnecessary su denly tho pawnees both started slight ly each stiffened in his chair witli his face tense in a second or two jims ears detected tho cause of their alarm the muffled pounding of hoofs at a distance- the pawnees exchang- ed swift glances and looked their host keenly in tbo face iiobi exclaimed tho boy trying to speak carelessly my folk go to town mebbe now they come back jim could hardly cononal hut elatloi and his voice doubtless betrayed that emotion you lie shouted the younger of the pawnees and bis hand went out for his weapon both indians sprang their feet together but jim was ready be too was on his feet in stantly and bis right hand swept bis fathers rifle from its rack hit down be commanded fiercely leaning toward tho pair you kill cows ue saw amid fur men aght no good now i for an instant both indians glared savagely at tho boy jim did not riloeh and then as tho pounding hoofs drew nearer the younger man laughed hoarsely old llokshlma grinned in n sickly manner and tho two sat back on their choirs
