Going back, he found in the secret cave a number of articles, which showed that it was ‘the hiding-place of the indian who made it his retreat. But this did not solve the mystery of how Red Renard, wounded severely, could be in so many different places. Remaining that night in the retreat, King Kendall set out the next day for the Haunt- ed Cavern. The horses he had left in the retreat he found fenced in here by the bark-rope barrier, and Comrade greeted him with a neigh of oy. ; Going on foot toward the cavern, King op animee entered under the other side of the fall. There he came upon a strange sight. There lay the wounded Indian apparently much better, for he was eating his dinner. But he was not alone, for by his side sat an Indian girl. She was very pretty, graceful in form, sand was dressed like an Indian princess, though she had evidently just cooked the meal before her and the wounded warrior.
