What's that, Lucy?"
Tlie many lyiup; on the low cot in the
light ot tbe lamp on a table at one aide
of a little cabin turned hi* bead to OB*
aid. and listened.
Tbe youag girl bent over him and
for a moment looked Iato the w*n face
and deeply sunken, but brilliant black
eyes.
"It's tbo nind, Paal. It's the old
year going ou?, yon.know."
"But it's not midnight yat, glrlf Tbe
boys haven't come back from tbe lodge—
"Nut yet. There, don't let such
things worry yoa. They'll come by and
by.-'.v^j.  jj       	
He t n rued away ana closed bis eyes
while the girl crossed the floor aad for
half a minute listened at th. door.
"The boys!" .he said under • ber
breath. "It's been tbat way for a weak.
They'll never oome, snd 1 can't tell him.
1 4MB not tell him that he is the sole
survivor of the Katydid mine disaster, for
he would want to kuow how it happened. I'm a strong young woman, bat
nut quite atrong enough to break such
i>ewa to him; no, not yet."
Haifa minute later Luoy Moore eame
baok to the cut and discovered tbat the
miner had dropped into a deep sleep.
The Katydid mine had been wiped oat
in tbe twinkling of an eye by th. work
of unknown scoundrels, and Paul
Draper had mauaged to crawl from th*
debris to be picked up • day later aud
carried to the mountain horn, of the.
girl wbo loved blm.
Lucy understood it all. She knew of
the feud; she had heard of the threat
made by tb. ruffiaus serosa the divide,
aad the moment she looked upoii P.tul's
unconscious form ahe guessed tbe troth. -
The villiHiis bad simply dynamited the
Katydid mine, and the wonder wss tbat
even one man was left to.tell th. tale.
New Tear's day was to bave witnessed
their wedding, bat for aome tim. it had
looked mors like a burial a* Paal hovered between life .ad death, his figu iu
wasted away and hia sufferings terrible.
Bat she bad watched over htm with unceasing fidelity. She had beeu his constant companion since bts narrow escape
aad' whenever hi* mind wandered be
wanted to know when "the buys" would
come. The boys would never oome, for
they *l*pt on tbe mountain side, aad
Luoy had not the strength to tell htm the
troth.
' For some time that night the girl on..
tinued lo sit at th. cot, ber gaze riveted
upon the whit* face of hat betrothed.
The tick ing of a clock on a roagh shol f
I itBihnrl to th* vail sounded like the strokes
of a trip-hammer, but Luoy did not look
up. Sbe watched tbe sleeper aad ber
thoughts war. with bim.
' Suddenly sbe heard a noise that start-
Bid her from ber chair. She went to the
door and prtt.her ear' against it while
wgaiu aha eeut * aw tit glauce toward
I'sul.
She had for several days expected a
visit from tbe surgeon across tbe mountain and be might b. there.
She listened till sbe heard step* outside and then, wltb . thrill of Joy, sbe
laid Bar hand on tb. stoat b.nicades of
the Iroutler door.
'■The doet.>r at last'."said Lucy under
her breath, as, without more ado, she
took dowu the plank and opened th*
portal.
But th* next moment she fell back
wltb a ctytbit seemed to drive all th*
blood from ber cheeks, snd she stood lu
the middlevof th.   room  staring   at  the
■\Msaa befor* Mr.   Ia tb* room atood a
stalwart Indian and   Lucy   Instinctively
glanced toward tb* oouob.
For a moment it seemed aa If the
mountaln girl wonld sink to the Boor,
bat suddenly she threw herself between
the savage aad Paal aad stood Ilk* a
statue there.
"Tbey ate coming," said tb* Indian,
pointiug at tb* door. "Th* wolves of
tbe divide are oat youdcr."
"Aren't they satisfied with their
work?" cried Lnoy. "Haven't they
don* enough? They blew up tb* Katydid—"
Th* interruption waa a sudden, spring
by tbe Indian aud the door, left slightly
ajar, wss hurled to wltb almost crashing J
force. At the same time something
seemed io fall against It from the .oat-
aide, but the palm* of the Indian war*
against the planks and wltb bis whole
strength he waa holding th* enemy at
bay.
Lucy watched the red maa aa ha pitted
hi* power* against th* horde st tbe door,
and for a little while she feared tbat the
portal would be broken down by tbe foe.
"Lucy!   Lucy!"
Her nam* oame from the oouc'h and as
tb* girl turned she saw Paul sitting bolt
upright, his gaze riveted upon bar.
"Why don't the boys comer"' he asked.
With a sharp cty Lucy threw herself
upon tbe floor beside the miner.
"They don't oar* for me. What's the
matter with the Katydid mine, Lucy?"
"It's all right,'' waa the forced answer
from tbe mountain girl. "Th* boys will
com*.   Tbey can't get away juat now —"
Crash! came something against the
door, and the Indian seemed lifted from
the floor aa he reeled away, but for a second only. Again ho biased himself aud
his eyes seemed to emit sparks ol Are.
"We waul Pan I—Paul, the boss!"
"We have come for blm aud—"
Lacy lamed baok and oangbt ap the
barricade, but t be Indian swept tb* proffered plank said*.
His feathers touched tho door; tlie heron plumage iu hia long hair brushed the
planks, bat hia muselea did not quiver.
"The boys! the boys! I say, Lucy,"
came from the sufferer's couch. "I'm
going back to the   Katydid  myself sad
flild tb3nV"       -L-?:fea..i       - «*=--
••Hoi no! Ton can't go,* and Luoy
again threw herself beside Paul and
pushed him gaatly Sack. "They ar* oat
there."
"The boya, Lady?" asked th* victim
of the plot.
"Yes, y*s!"'
A strange light oame Into Paul's eyes
mid his long lingers fastened themselves
sbout Lucy's whit* wrist.
'■What's to-morrow?" he asked, catch-
in •: her eye.
"It's New Years day."
"I—I thought so. And tbe boys sre
comitig to tbe wedding?"
Th* girl looked awsy afraid to lot bim
see her troubled face; bnt bis band tight-
ened It* grip at her wrist.
Tbe stoical Indian at tbe door did not
stir. He had braced himself like su iiou
post snd seemed oblivious to everything
bat tb* act be was performing- Luoy
wondered bow long be could hold th.
door against the men outside. She did
not hear them now, but sbe did not
doabt that tbey still stood oa tha stoop
ready to take advantage of anything la
tbelr favor.
Suddenly . heavy blow struck th.
door aad Lucy hesrd her name spoken.
She left Paul and went forward.
"We've 000*0 to the wedding, girl,"
said a voice aad there was a half suppressed laugh ou tb* oulside.
Lnoy did not speak, bat her heart
oame itito bar throat unbidden aud with
a thrill of terror.
•'We know he's bar*. Something
spared him— spared him for yon, gift,''
eontiuued the spokesman of tb* baud.
"We only want to aa* bim aud aaked
him a few questions."
"Bnt yonr mission mesne more than
that," spoke Lucy, clasping her hand,
a* she spoke. ' Yoa *i. tb. meu troin
across the divide—you arc from Doth
Valley camp.
"She's located aa squarely," she heard
a roagh vole. aay. "Y«*u can't fool th.
girl in there.   TellSwr something else."
Lucy's face seemed ta flush st these
words and ahe looked at th. Indian.
"Wbit* girl no ball**, tbe wolves?"
said he, bis dark ey. falling upon ber for
a moment.
The mountain maid shook her head.
"White wolves no tell the ttuth," the
Indian replied. "Tbey w.ut scalp. They
can't com. la while tbe elk I* at tb*
door."
' Silonco prevailed for a Moment and
then tbe blow waa repeated,
"Two miuutes, miss," said * gruff
voice.    "We are oouiiug inl"
Tne Elk heard aa well as did tha. girl
and in another instant b* let oaa foot
■lip . little behind Its mat.. Tbat movement, slight aa it was, meant prrpaiutioii
for the worst; bat lb. Indian did uot
apeak.
"Let tb* boya in, plesse do, Luoy,"
o.ms from th* couch In tb. eomar.   "I
want to kuow vrhat's kept  thaa*  awsy.
The old Katydid—"
One. more with a cry Lucy sprang to>
tbe eouob aad beat over tb* .ttentnatad
figure thereon.
"It's not th* boys of tb* Katydid,
Paal. Pardon ma. I told aa untruth
before. They're tb* nieo from vent tb*

watched tbe door before htm. He seemed
iu his element, bat uot a sound escaped
him.
A strained silence of half a aslant.
elapsed whan again the door wBbcharged.
Tbe m.u outxide tbtew himself against
it with tha same result, only
thi* time tb* moccasincd foot did not
•lip.    It k*Bt its place.
Tb* Elk seemed made of iron; bi* vein*
stood oat on hi* half naked figure Ilk*
whip cords and, giant-like, he heat hi*
self-assigned post.
'Take down the barricades, girl,"
•ild tbe leader of the band.
Ia spit* af herself tbe mountain girl
smiled. They did not know that the
Elk was the barricade.
Twioe mote tbe  door   was assaulted
with tbe same impetnosiiy; ant  th.  do-    .; _", •
fender of tbe pair did uot move.
At last the Elk looked down into tb*
face beside him ami osugbt Lucy's eye.
"Tbe woives hsve gone, girl," said be.
"Tbey could not break the' Indian's
arm."
Gone? No. In another second a fist
stiuek tb* portal and a voice exclaimed.
'•A happy New Year to yen, mi**. Wa
