Phil’s companions continued to offor a ■nt resistance to Black Ned’s party, lile Phil himself lay dying, with bis rang mistress bending over him, vainly •ing to atop the red tide that tlowed irthwarcl from bis black breast. I did all I could, Miss," gasped Phil, the sound of the fighting canin nearer .d the shrill yells of the Indiana more altnnt. I know yon did, Phil. Do not talk ; weakous you.” She placed bor trem- ling little band on the cold black fore- ad, while Patsy clung to the once pow- ul arm of her brother and begged him live, in a voice so filled with the pain her heart that its lower tones drowned it all others. Phil recovered for a moment, ns the iug seemed to cease, and whispering od bless young Miss,” the broad chest Ittlod slowly down, the current of the d life tide had ceased, and Phil lay ■ad, with his block face turned np to the The cessation of the fighting was only lomentiiry. The remaining black men, laming that Phil was dead, became snd- enly panic-stricken, and fled bofore the nal onset made by the Indians. Into the little stockade they poured, nd torches wore quickly lit, and in the allow light Black Nod saw the dead forms f the half dozen men who had died in liriam’s defence. Miriam herself stood ale and ereot, and Palsy lay on the (round with her arms around her dead irother, while she supplicated Heaven to [ive back to life their defender. ‘Don’t be skeored, Miss Troup ; I ain’t |oin’ to hurt you,” said Ned, advancing, lot in hand, and making a clumsy bow, rith ill-affected gallantry. Why come you hero, sir, with these lavages, to bill my pooplo?” she demand- she pointed to the painted warriors ftroand her. ‘They won’t hnrt yon, Miss," ho stam mered, as be took a stop back, for he saw he glitter of a blade in the hand Miriam tad half concealed in her shawl ‘Why come you hero, sir ?” again she asked, moving towards where the n thoroughly astounded Black Ned stood “Your father sent me, Miss ; I came to irotect you and take you home." “I do not need your protection, there be a particle of troth in wbat yon IF fay, and you have a spark of love left for jour mother, leave me at once. I can find the place where my father's house stood before it sank to ashes by your torches. ” “It wasn't na fired the house, Miss." “No ! Then who was it pray ?" “Louis Macon.” To this Miriam did not deign reply, bnt fastened hor flashing blue eyes with a gaze that was worse than a blow on the villain before her. “Yes, Miss, it was him that did it. But we’ve got him, an' Captain Wilson will make him pay for it.” ‘Pay for it!" exclaimed Miriam, now more alarmed at the thought of danger to Louis than at her own critical position. ‘Yes, Miss, them's my words," said Ned, noticing the changed manner of the girl before him, and muttering to him self, “I’ve her in a weak place, and most follow up the blow.” “What do your words mean ?’’ she ask ed, after a minute's hesitation. “They mean, Miss, that Wilson, who holds Louis Macon a prisoner, has hanged him, or will do it by daylight." Miriam staggered baok, the arm hid in the folds of her shawl dropped nerve less by hor aide, and from her grasp the tnife fell to the ground. | 8he noticed it not, but Black Ned did. end leaping forward, he coaid not refrain a about of triumph as he said : Thar, yeh can't hnrt nobody now ; that's one good thing !” Miriam soon recovered her presence of mind, and realizing fully her position, and ! Phil lay, aud stooping, she freed the long hunting knife from his belt, and raised it till it seemed like a sword in the glare of the torches. “Do not be frightened,” sho continued, as she saw Black Ned's surprise. “I do not propose to hurt so frail and helpless a creature as you aro now. I will go back to the Ohatiahoooheo if you lead the way; but this knifo I will keep for you—if necessary, for myself. Black Ned understood her fell mean ing, as did the Indians, who could not hide their surprise at this conduct in a “squaw”—it was so different from what they had been accustomed to. “I agree, Miss; you’re perfectly right. I want to be friends, an' Avonld die to beep yon from harm." “No doubt.” “Yes, Miss; an' ns we’re all tired, I’ll stay here and rest till morning." “Then you must build your fires back in the woods from here." “I'll do that willin’, Miss, if you’ll let me build one in here, and have a man to watch you from harm. He’ll stand off a good way." “Very well; but firf»t bnry those dead men, who were murdered by yon and your savages," said Miriam, pointing to the black men who had fallen. “Yes, Mias, I’ll do that; bnt the ranr- derin’ wasn’t all on one side. I've lost nigh three to one ; but I’ll bury them nil together." No, sir; my people must sloop in n separate grave, for some day, Rhonld I live, I will carry back the bones of my faithful sorvauts and bury them where I n often place flowers on the grovos of o men who died for me." “I’ll do wbat you say, Miss," replied Black Ned, who wan mentally congratu lating himself on the success of a nego tiation that at first did not promise well. Patsy, in tho mean time, had risen to her feet, and stood boside hor mistress, half bewildored with grief aud the strange events transpiring around hor. Miriam led hor to a part of tho stock ade that afforded some protection, while tho position enabled them to watch every thing transpiring uround them. The fires that Phil had kindled about the defence now blazed np brighter than ', and the warriors not engaged in hollowing a grave in the stockade for the black men gatherod their own dead to gether, chanting as they did so their low, unearthly death songs. Before Phil was lowered into the grave Miriam took bis cold hand in hors for an eternal “good-bye," and Patsy again gave way to tho feelings of her breaking heart. The gloomy work was over, and Black Neil aud his Indians gathered about the circling fires, some to sleep and others to guard. Miriam knew that she and Patsy must have rest, and deciding to get some re- poao, one at a time, it was agreed that whenever the Indians changed tho one on watch should wake tho sleeper. So passed the long, slow hoars of that fearful night, and though Miriam prayed for light, yet sho dreaded the evonts that might oome with it. death was coming, and panorama-like his post life flitted before him, so fast it might have been ombracod in the smallest measure of perceptible time. Then there came a feeling of oaso, an indifforence and freedom from pain, and Louis Maoon fainted—and fainting is bnt a temporary death. Captain Mason saw all this; bat bo- lioving Louis wonld recover, he prevented his men from firing, fearing ho might hit his friend, and he was too far away toseo the actual danger which Macon was in. Suddenly, from the direction opposito to that whore the astounded Indians stood, a fierce, piercing yell rose abovo the sound of the rifles, and ont in I ho full light of tho fire, within view of both par ties, a black man with gleaming knife in hand dashed, aud, uumiudful of tho bul lets that greeted him, lxe ran straight to where Wilson stood abovo his master, and with u blow that would have foiled a giant Batty dashed Wilson to tho earth, and picking np his master in his arms, ho ran in tho direction of his supposed friends. Captain Mason and his tiion saw tho gallant act of tho faithful servant, and appreciating his danger, for tho Indians wore tryir-g to intcroopt him, they obeyed the order of their Captain, and charged to the rescue. Mason aud his men had tho shortest distame to travel in meeting Batty, and thoy wore up and around him in time to meet the Indians with a murderous fire, and this discharged, they picked up tho half conscious Louis and ran back to tho cover of tho darkness and the woods, ac companied by the.'faithfnl Batty, The Indians attempted to follow, but tho stunned Wilson was not on hand to arouse their ardor, and they soon with drew beyond the dangerous light of the wood Are aud the terrible tire of Muaon’H rifles. “There is no time to spare here, boys ! Tho Indians will soon attack ten to one! Let us saddle and get back to a position on tho river." Mason’s mou obeyed him like regulars. The horses were ready in a minute, and tho leader taking Lonis before him on his horse, while Batty trudged beside him on foot, thoy beaded their animals for tho high bluffs, thut oven at this distance wore perceptible, above Oswichee Bend, in tho dorkuoss that hnDg ovor the landscape. CHAPTER XXVI. PLANNING. Black Ned, though incapable of that re fined fueling of respect that arises from a high appreciation of its objoct, enter tained a wholesome drond of Miriam Troop, of whoso nature and feelings bo had not the slightest conception, und as she was to him a mystory he dreaded her. Before the snn rose tho Indian . broiled their venison aud cooked their corn bread on the glow iug coalo, and the repast pre pared, one of them carried over to Miriam aud her servant a supply more than ade quate to satisfy their limited appetites. All having oaten, Block Ned with timid steps approached the place where Miriam stood, and stopping some diatanoo from her, hr stood lint in hand and said : “Mins Troup, wo ere ready to start back to the Ohattnhooohoe." “And, as I promised, I am ready to ac company yon," was her answer. “You can’t walk, Miss." “I can." * “But wonld you not prefer to ride ?" “Yes, if you loave the management of tho horse to myself and give me one for my servant, who is more fatigued than I.” “Snrtsin, Miss, yeh con both have horses ; but kuowin’ it ain’t pleasant for Captain Mason, with Lonis before him ror the Knquiror. ■ we cannot swallow tho tomahawk it on the saddlo, pressed forward to tho sticks in our throat.

CHAPTER XXV. UNEXPECTED AID. Lonis Macon, as has been stated, saw Herdiok Wilson and his followers ad vancing, and from the conduct of Captain Mason and his men he had overy reason to think them friends, bnt for safety, and to take advantage of the fire, thoy fell back, that the light might fall on the at- tacking party. Louis recognized Herdiok Wilson, and forgetting his own nnnrmed condition, ho mot him just beyond tho fire, though be- I to * ,G * n oUr company, and that I'm foro ho got within reach of him he be- ! pledged to taho yoh both hoino, I reckon came the target for a dozen rifles and scores of arrows. He did not heed tho olubbed rifle or glittering knife of Wil son, but like an enraged lion he dashed both aside and closed at once with the livid-faoed wretch. Wilson became thoroughly alsrmad. and tried to avoid him, while ha ahoutad to Oakola for assistance. Oskola heard Wilson, and sent him aid. but not a warrior roached him, for they fell midway before the terrible fire of Ma son and his men. Louis Macon was younger than his an tagonist by ten or fifteen years, nnd though taller and lighter, every muscle of his splendid form was at his command, and all his strength was summoned to his aid, and as Fitz Jtimes met Roderick Dhn when their blades wore dropped, so Louis mot this man, save this, that Roderick Dhn was a boro and a patriot, and Wilson was a traitor and a coward ; but be was o man of powerful build, and now hate and brutal hopo gave him additional strength. yeh wouldn't havo no objections to bavin sotno mounted mon rido nigh enough to protect you in oose of danger?" “No ; you can place your men wherever yon choose; only promise that thoy re tain a proper distance from us." “I’ll do thut, Miss. All I want is to bo jor frien' ah' take yeh homo Hafo." “Very well, I am ready. Send an Iu- diac hero with the horses.” Black Ned bowed, and with a inarkod change in his bearing ho withdrew, nnd soon nu Indian appeared, leading two horsos “Hu’d thoso horses, Patsy,” said Mi riam, pointing to the animals. Then, as Patsy complied, she turned to tho Indian and in tbo au'horitative touo of Zonobin commanded him to loavo, which ho seemed very glad lo do, for all the In diana attributed tho hard fight of tho pre vious eight to the strength and v dor of tho wonderful white girl. “Let me help ye up, Miss,’ said i'ntsy, as her young mistress threw the bridle over hor horse's nock nnd was about to Wilson staggered from the terrible blow i over h< Louis dealt him full in tho face, bnt ho , mount. recovered in a momont, and like a blind, ; "No need, Palsy,” replied her mistress, enraged bull ho dashad on his youthful os- a«, seizing the crupper, with a light, sa.lant. graceful bound sho sprang into the saddle The movement was too quick, and Louis, I and gathered up the reins, whose anger destroyed his coolne-s, was j With more strength, but less agility, not roady to meet, aa a trained man i I'atsy followed tho examplo of her rais- skonld, such an onsat, to avoid Wilton, who rushed on him with a fierce cry and the foam gathering on his bine lips, ho sprang back, and as he leaped his foot struck a root, and he staggered and fell, and boforo he could recover Wilson was on him, with a red, muscular hand fast ened in bis throat.

Captain Ma<on called n tall, bearded follower, who was standing beside u mug. nifloent horso, which was evidently his own property, and tho man at once came. “Henderuon, is your horns rrady lo ride ?" “llo is always ready, Captain," replied tho man. “Then down tho rivor with nil s; oed. and summon to onr aid Salvador Colorado und his Seminole*. 8ay it is lifo or death.'
