There were in our train two

their shaggy heads, si.oik /hem

like a dark rstrating tide of the

It was a long and exciting
chase,
“Ta/tors” soon pa ssed /he other
boys, and pressing hard on the
herd, after nearly an hour ot wild
aud splendid riding, thow iiimseb

The brothers came up soon, and

When the dust ai d 6iuoke clear

Following the example of “Tat

where they stood as all cautions
hunters do, and then went up to
the game.
The barefooted hoy at once laid
his finger on a bullet hole near
the region of the heart aud looked
up at the o/her.
“I aimed about there!” shout d
one. “And sc did 1!” cried We
other eagerly.
Without saying a word, hut
with a very significant look the
barefooted boy took oat his kti t’ e
and unobserv( d pricked two holes
with the point of it c ose by ti c

the boys. They came down on

“Tat 1 eis,’cut me off the tail,”

Without a word, the hoy did as
he was bid, aod*theu securley fas

“That is the way they went,”

they darted away with “Tatters,"

was all.
There comes a time to us ail

the party rode through the town
and looked beyond. Nothing !

“Water,” gasped one of the
