THE WAR-TRAIL!

CHAPTER LXX1I.—(Conrinuzp.)

“Ne’er a bito’ it. 1 never seed a burnin’ paraira yit, thet thur wa’n’t eyther a camp-fire or a Injun at the bottom o’ it—thet ur’ceptin’ where light- nin’ hed did the bizness.”

“And you think, Rube thar’s been Tnjun at the bottom of this?”

“ Putty nigh sure; and I'll gie you my reezuns. Tust, do ’ee see thur’s been no lightnin’ this mornin’ to ’a made the fire? Seconds, it’s too fur west hyur for any settlement of whites—in coorse Ll speak o’ Texans—thur might be Mexi- kins; them I don’t call white, nohow nosomediver. And then, agin, it kin searce be Mexikins neyther. It ur too fur no’th for any of the yellur bellies tc be a strayin’ jest now, seein as it’s the Mexikin moon wi’? the Kimanchees, an’ ‘both them an’ the Leepaus are on the war-trail, Wal, then, it’s clur thur’s no Mexik‘n ’bout hyur to hev sot the paraira afire, an thur’s been no lightnin to do it; tharfor, it must ’a been did eyther by a Injun, or thet ur dodrotted spuntanynyus kumbuxshun.”

** One or t’other,”

“ Wal, bein’ as this child don’t b’lieve in the kumbuxshun nohow, thurfor it’s my opeenyun thet red Injuns did the bizness—they did sartint.”

*‘No doubt of it,” assented Garey.

““An ef they did,” continued the old trapper, “thur about yit somewhur not fur off, au’ we've got to keep a sharp look-out for our har—we hey.”

‘« Safe, we have” assented Garey.

JT tell ee, Bill,’ continued Rube, in a

' new strain, “the Injuns is mighty riled

jestnow. Ineverknowd’em so savager- ous an’ fighty. The war hez gin ’ema fresh start, an’ thur danders up agin us, by reezun thet the gin’ral didn’t take thur offer to help us agin the yellur- bellies. Ef we meet wi’ eyther Kimanch or Leepan on these hyur plains, thu’l! scalp us, or we'll scalp them—thet’ll be it. -Wagh!” -

**But what for could they ’a sot the parairy on fire?” inquired Garey.

“Thet ere,” replied Rube, ‘thet ere wur what puzzled me at fust. I thort it mout ’a been done by accydeut—pree- haps by the scatterin’ o’ a camp-fire—for Injuns is careless enuf ’bout thet. Now, hows’owever, I’ve got a diffrent idee. Thet story thet Dutch and Freachy hev fetched from the rancherie, gies me a in- sight into the hull bizness.” :

I knew the “‘story” to which Rube had reference, Lige and LeBlanc, when at the village, had heard some rumor of an Indian foray that had just been made against. one of the Mexican towns, not far from the rancheria, It had occurred on the same day that we marched out. The gIndians—supposed to be Lipans or Comanches—had sacked the place, and carried off both plunder and captives. A party of them had passed near the rancheria after we ourselves had left it. This party ‘‘called” at the Hacienda de Vargas and completed the pillage, left unfinished by the guerilla. This was the substance of what the messengers had heard.

‘You mean about the Injuns?” said Garey, half interrogatively.

“In coorse,” rejoined Rube. ‘Belike enuf, ’em Injuns ur the same niggurs we gin such a rib-roastin’ to by the moun, Wagh! they hain’t gone back to thur mountains, as ’twur b’lieved; they das- sent ’a gone back in sich disgrace, ‘ithout takin eyther har or hosses. The squaws ud ’a hooted ’em,”’

“Sure enough.” :

“Sure sartint. Wal, Billee, ’ee see now what I mean: that party’s been a skulketin ’bout hyur ever since, till they got a fust-rate chance at the Mexikin town, an’ thur they’ve struck a blow,”

“It’s mighty like as you say, Rube; but why have they set fire to the pa- rairy ?”’

“* Wagh! Bill, kin ye not see why : its as plain'as Pike’s Peak on a summery day.”.

“I don’t see,” responed Garey, in a houthful tone. =

“Well, this child do; an’ this ur the reezun: as [ tell ’ee, the Injuns hain’t forgot the lambystin they hed. by the moun; and preehaps bein’ now a weak party, an’ thinkin thet we as wolloped em wur still i’ the rancherie, they wur afeerd thet on hearin’ o? thur pilledgin’, we mout be arter’em.” ae

‘sAn’ they’ve burnt kiver thur trail?”

“Preezactly so.”?

“By gosh, you're right, Rube?—its uncommon like. But whar do you think this trail’s goin’? Surely the hoss hain’t been caught in the fire?”

the parairy to

I bent forward in the saddle, and lis-|*

tened with acute eagerness, To my great relief, the answer of the old trapper was in the negative,

“He hain‘t,” said he; *‘ne’er a bit o’ it. His trail, do ’ee see, runs in a» bee- line, or clost on a bee-line ;. now, ef the fire hed ’a begun afore he wur acrosst the paraira, “he wud long since ’a doubled ’bout, an tuk the back track; but ’ee see he hain’t did 80} thurfor, I conclude he’s safe through it, an’ the grass must ’a been sot afire ahint : ” ~ I breathed freely after listening to these words. -A load seemed lifted from my breast, for up to this moment I had been vainly endeavoring to combat the fearful appreheusion that had shaped itself in my imagination. For the moment that we had entered the burned prairie, m

it, with uneasy giauce, in dread of be- holding forms — lifeless— burned and charred

The words of the trapper gave re- licf—almost an assurance that the stted and his rider were still safe—and, under inspiration of renewed hope, I- rode more cheerfully forward.
