a es —_———-—— ee ng resistance, other than cursing Dashing Char- iv, But tbe next day the Red Scalper was lodged in the village jail. Charlie had told the story of his crimes, and that be wished him brought to trial and puuished, Tne Texans were so willing to please the brave youth and the bandsome lady, that they took the Red Scalper cut of jail that night and strung him up to a tree, unheeding bis protestations of innocenco and his cries for mercy, Toe néxt day, Charlie started on his mission to rescue Henry Hurlburt, the Comanches’ cap- tive, Mrs. Hurlburt, with a negro woman, and a couple of black men-servants to drive the ambu- jance and care for the horses, started for a cer- tain point in New Mexico, where she was to meet the daring young Hescuer. She had waited at the rendezvous a couple of weeks, when one day up rode two horsemen, One was Dashing Charlie, the other was her husband ! Charlie had boldly returned to the Comanche village, as the friend of the Red Scalper, and knowing that it would take too long to attempt a rescue, had told the head chief that the Red Sealper, bis white brother, had sent a bandsome lot of presents to him and his people, and some gold, with which to buy the captive they held, and which would prevent a large force of sol- diers being sent against them to rescue him, The Comanches yielded up their captive, and as he rode on with bis boy Rescuer, Mr. Hurl- burt heard the story which Charlie bad to tell, that bis wife was awaiting bim, and that their daughter lived, but, as a Queen of the Sioux! Thus united, the party started northward, and at last coming to the river made their way by steamer. Omaha was at last reached,and one night Doctor Chalmers was startled, as he sat in his quarters, by a slap on the shoulder, and a hearty: ‘* How are you, Doc?” What Doc Chalmers said had best remain un- ssid; but he gave Charlie a grizzly bear hug, and then remarked: ‘*Charlie, how you escaped I do not know; but at last I have got together force enough to invade the Indian country, and I was going co start to-morrow, for | always had hope that you and your uncle were alive.” ‘Then to-morrow we go, Doc, for uncle is alive, and II] tell you how I escaped, if you will only go over to the tavern and meet some friends of mine,” These friends the doctor met were Mr. and Mrs. Hurlburt, and that they were glad to wel- come him may be guessed. Then Doc Chalmers listened to the story of the young Rescuer, and said emphatically, when be had heard all: ‘Charlie, you deserve the name of The Res- cuer, and I’il baptize you as such when we get upon the trail. “To-morrow we start, and this time three hundred brave bordermen go with me, and we are to have a thousand soldiers, with a light battery as a support, so we are sure to win, “In fact, [I'll pledge myself to win the game we have got to play to the bitter end.” And the next day the Rescuers started, and along with them went Mr. and Mrs. Hurlburt, and the negro servants, all well mounted, And Dashing Charlie went as guide of the Rescuers, CHAPTER XXXIII, CONCLUSION. Tue Rescuers fairly crept into the Sioux coun- try. They made a flank movement upon the village of Red Hair, approaching from a direction from which no foe was ever expected, Charlie, in his going about with the Red Scalper, had made good use of his time, and dis- covered a trai] known even to only a few of the Sioux, It was by this trail that he led the Rescuers, and by night, The military force came Up as & support, and then the Rescuers pushed ou silently—Dashing Charlie leading, : , It was a bright moonlight night, aad the In- diaus suspected no danger. Down the secret pass crept that long line; into the stronghold they went, going in at a point near the canyon of the Sioux Queen. Unseen, Charlie slipped away into the canyon while the men halted, —— @ was not gone long; but when he returned be was with hj ale. : D atyee ne nene ere 7 hd Dashing Ch A moment more and, with one wild yell, the Rescuers charged down into the Indian village! It was a complete surprise; the Indians had been caught off their guard. Then followed a scene such as the Sioux loved to visit upon the pale-faces, for death and de- struction stalked abroad, band in band, Straight toward the large tepee of the Red Hair went balf a hundred men. At their head rode Charhe, and by hisside was Captain Emmett, Bebind them came Mr, Hurlburt and Doctor Chalmers, and the bordermen followed close on their heels, Warriors were ridden down, tepees dashed over, and at last the band bad brought to bay Red Hair the renegade and a number of braves who had rallied at his call. ‘*Don’t shoot him! He must bang,” said Ranchero Hurlburt, and bis words were obeyed. The renegade was lassoed skilifully, dragged from bis borse and in an instant was a prisoner, But only for a short while, for the Rescuers would chance no escape of the detestable villain, and he was soon usbered into eternity at the end of a rope, Thus perished Red Hair, the renegade, the man of many crimes, The soldiers had quickly followed the Rescuers, and when the dawn came it showed the Indian village a wreck and the dead and dying scattered in every direction, But why dwell on such a scene of horror? Rather tell bow the Singing Dove found her own parents to love them, and all felt that there was no doubt that she was their child, But she loved her husband and clung to him devotedly in the new life she led amid scenes of civilization, for be was all in all to her and she was to him bis greatest treasure. The gold mine of Nick Nye was found, but proved to be of little worth, and what it did pan out Captain Emmett sent to the man’s kin- dred, And Dasbing Charlie bad added to his name the title of Rescuer, as Doe Chalmers bad said, and in the years that followed became more and more a bero in the Land of the Setting Sun, THE END, Beadle’s Half-Dime Library.
