This was the spectacle that greeted Bud, Nort and Dick as they swept up the trail and toward the sound and sight of the firing. For now they could see the little puffs of smoke which preceded the discharges of the guns. Light, traveling faster than sound, brought to the eyes of the boys the puffs of burned gunpowder before the report echoed.

Anyhow, after the fight he managed to get on our trail, and here he is." "But did he see anything of Rosemary and Floyd?" asked Nort. "Not a sign. He says these Yaquis didn't have any captives," Bud answered. "How do you account for that?" Dick wanted to know, while rather a grim silence fell on the others. "Well, this may have been another party of Indians. Very likely was," Bud declared.

No sooner did I see that it were not a ghostie, but a living man the same as I be, than my knees begins to shake and my stumps of teeth to chatter. And what do you think it was stopped me, miss, from slipping round this corner, and away by belfry? Nort but the hoddest idea you ever heared on.

At such times the watching Greasers fired. It was now an actual state of siege as far as Bud and his immediate companions were concerned, and they were outnumbered. Several of Bud's party, including Nort this time, had been slightly wounded. But, in turn, they had wounded some Greasers, too, one vitally, as was learned later.

"No, but maybe they'd better be," grimly answered her father. "Rosemary and Floyd are carried off by the Yaquis!" he added. "How do you know?" "Does the message say so?" "Which way did they go?" These were the questions, fired in rapid succession, by Bud, Nort and Dick. "That information's in the telegram," explained Mr. Merkel.

Bud and Nort leaped to the side of their partner, their hands on their weapons, but, after a glimpse of the approaching horseman, having shaded his eyes with his hands, Bud cried: "That isn't a robber! It's Yellin' Kid. I know his riding. I reckon he's come to give us the straight of it!" Which proved to be the case.

Clearly then, to the ears of both, came the unmistakable sound of someone or something approaching. There was the crunching of gravel, and the noise of some hard substance moving on a rock. "It's the Yaquis!" whispered Nort, as he brought his rifle to bear on the blackness in front of him. "They're creeping up to make an attack!"

So quietly did he approach, and so unexpected was his appearance that Nort and Dick, on whose side of the improvised "fort" Snake first showed himself, were startled. "If that had been any of the Del Pinzo crowd they'd have been on top of us before we knew it," confessed Nort. "Not much!" laughed Bud. "Slim has seen Snake coming along this last three minutes; haven't you, Slim?" "Yep!

She never agreed with Josiah Allen but in jest one thing while she was under his ruff. I happened to mention one day how extremely anxious I wuz to have females set on the Conference; and then, wantin' to dispute me, and also bein' set on that side, she run down the project, and called it all to nort and when too late she see that she had got over on Josiah Allen's side of the fence.

Chingatok, who was listening to the conversation, without of course understanding it, and to whom the Captain had made sundry spasmodic remarks during the day in the Eskimo tongue, went that night to Amalatok, who was sitting in Makitok's hut, and said "My father, Blackbeard has found it!" "Found what, my son? his nothing his Nort Pole?" "Yes, my father, he has found his Nort Pole."
