Drawing a revolver he fired at bis legs, and brought him down to the ground, howling with rage. ** Quick! quick!” he cried to Myftle, running to the foot of the cliff; ‘‘ jump off and VU catch rou! Though bound and helpless, she contrived to fall over the edge, and he caught her neatly in his arms. Then, still carrying her thus, he bade Mrs, Morris follow him, and dashed up a narrow ravine, which none of the others had taken. Nor did he pause until he had, with the pre- cautions of a veteran scout covered their trail, and reached a place of safety in a mountain cleft, several miles from the Picture Rocks. Here for the present they were in no danger of molestation from foes, either red or white. The same could not be said of the others. Like a hurricane of wrath the warriors under the lead of Dancing Plume swept down in pur- suit of the late residents of Death Notch, and shot down and scalped them without mercy. Some may have escaped, but it is doubtful if many did so. Among the fortunate ones was the Unknown, whose horse was fleet enough to carry him beyond the reach of the savages. Only one prisoner was taken back to the ill- fated town of Death Notch, and that one was Calamity Jane. After remaining several days in the moun- tains, Mrs. Morris and Myrtle, escorted b Poker:Jack, started on foot for the nearest rail- way station, which they reached after about two week’s travel afoot. From there they re- turned to California, Jack still accompanying jthem and defraying their expenses. And he having decided to livea more respecta- ble existence,it is not impossible that Myrtle will reward him with her hand at no far distant day. For several days Calamity was keps locked up ina eabin, which was guarded by savages, and left to herself, except when some food was brought her. One evening she was greatly surprised to see the Unknown enter the cabin. ‘‘Come!” he said. ‘‘ Your imprisonment is at anend.: I have, through the kindness of Red Hatchet’s daughter, secured your freedom, with the proviso that we both leave this place for- ever!” She at once consented, If she went with him, her fate could be little if any worse than if she remained with the savages. Therefore they both mounted horses, outside the cabin, and rode forever away from Death Notch! Two days later they arrived in sight of Pioche: here the Unknown drew rein, and said: “Calamity! Is it possible my deception has been so clever as to deceive your shrewd eves all this time? I am Deadwood Dick, who bolds a mortgage of betrothal against you!” And he removed the disguise that had served him since being rescued from the quicksand— which rescue, he explained was performed by Biska, the Pawnee, just as it was almost too late. Doomed he had been; but for her he would have perished from the face of the earth by a terrible death, and he willed that it should be so, ever after, in the minds of the people of Death Notch, and had therefore adopted and maintained the disguise of the Unknown. That night in a private parlor at Pioche Dick and the poor, sore-hearted, but brave an true Calamity were married, and the author joins in the wishes of his readers that they may ‘live long and prosper;” they, the two wild spirits who had learned each other’s faults and each other’s worth in lives branded with com- mingled shame and honor.
