Daring Dick, Pawnee Bill’s Pard. horses, throw what booty on them you can, and we will take the secret pass back to the Rio and eross before dawn. ‘“‘There is no time to lose— Ah, Dick, my Little Wonder, you are here!” ‘* Yes, captain, and Miss May, too, for she is up at the cottage with a lady captive of Don Desperado,” ** Then sbe is avenzed, Dick, for I killed him. Now help me get the men together and away, for we must not be caught on Mexican soil when day dawns,” CONCLUSION. THE retreat was made with all haste possible from the outlaw stronghold, for there were a couple vf hundred horses captured, and half of these were loaded with plunder taken from the bandits’ storebouse, Pawnee Bill led the way with Dick, while May, happy 4s she could be, rode by the side of Gabriella, conversing earnestly with her as they went along. Behind them came Wanda the peon, and the Pawnees, with the led horses following, while Buckskin Charlie and his men brought up the rear. Two dead cowboys and three Pawnees were strapped on the backs of horses, to be taken to Texan soil for burial, and a few wounded men rode behind their comrades for support. Don Desperado and his dead were left where they bad fallen, when the cabins in the strong- bold had been set on fire. Arriving at the river, tbe party crossed before dawn, and the cowboys pushed on with their captured horses and booty, not daring to halt, Pawnee Bill and his Indians halted, and the ladies were allowed to rest for a few hours, Then they had breakfast, and Gabriella and Wanda bade farewell to May aud the others, and recrossed the river to join a party of Mexi- can cavalry seen on the other bank, and thus make their way under escort back .to their home, The cavalry happened to be a party sent in pursuit of the kidnappers of Gabriella, and the officer in command told ber that ber father bad halted for rest at a hacienda some leagues away, so that the lonely Mexican woman felt that her sorrows were at last at an end. _Back to Paradise Ranch went Pawnee Bill and his braves as an escort to May and Dick, and the welcome they received repaid tbem for all they had gone through, ‘ _ Pawnee Bill told bis story, and ended by say- ing: ‘ It was justice that he should fall by my hand, and now, May, Iam avenged for the wrong he has done us,” After several days’ rest Pawnee Bill departed with his Red Cavalry for the fort, and having organized bis battalion of Indian soldiers render- ed good service with them in the field during the year that followed, Then he resigned his position and went after Ma -, taking her to the home he bad made ready for her in the Indian Territory. There Daring Dick a year Jater was their wel- come visitor for afewdays. The Little Wonder was on his way to enter West Point as a cadet. THE END, Beadle’s Half-Dime Library. 4 RY COL. A. F. HOLT.
