An Effective
Introduction
Bf ALAN HINSDALE
m — —hi
There are persons who haVs known
each other by tight for year* and oarer
a word spoken between them because
they hare naver been Introduced. On
the ether hand, there are those who,
under some strong emotion, have at a
first meeting rushed Into each other's
arms. This Is a story Illustrating the
latter feature.
Jim Con over, plainsman, aged tweoty
flve, long of limb, with a countenance
frank and fearless, was riding through
a wood on one of the foothills of the
Rocky mountains. A rifle was slung
from one side of his saddlebow and a
lasso from the other.
Suddenly ho reined In his boras sad,
sitting stock still, listened. He had
heard a shot.
This was in the daye wban the In
dian still Inhabited the plains, when
hundreds of thousands of bliffaloe*
fed In huge droves.
There was little variety an the plains
in those days, and Cooover knew that
If the shot had not been flred at a buf
falo It had been Intended for either a
white man or an Indian. Be had bo
Idea of showing himself to either party
till he learned the situation. Dismount
ing, he left his horse to nibble while
he skulked, shielding himself behind
trees. In the direction of the sound.
Presently be reached the edge of the
wood, and, looking down on to the
open, he saw a wagon, behind which
huddled a man, a woman and half a
dozen youngsters; the oldest being a
girl Just entering womanhood. Be
yond, hiding behind a rock or a bush
or any inequality in the ground, were
Indians. Conover saw several and
judged that there were something like
half a dozen In all.
How was Conover to sav# them?
Save them he must, bat withont •om«
stratagem his single rifle would not
suffice. Bat be had that one rifle and
a fair stock of ammunition. -His pres
ence was as yet unknown to either par
ty. How could he make himself a dan
ger to the Indiana and encourage the
whites ?
An Indian rose from out of a bush
and ran swiftly, lnteadlng to take cov
er nearer to the wagnn. Conover had
brought his rifle to a ready and shot
the redskin on the wing. The shot pro
duced a change both In the Indians and
the besieged party, the former sticking
closer to their protecting objects, the
latter vainly looking to see where the
bullet that killed the Indian had come
from. One thing they knew—It waa
from a friend.
Conover*s quick eye, which was dart
ing about him for advantagaoua por
tions, caught sight of a tree some dis
tance to his right, the lower Km be ef
which were within his reach. Bending
low- and protected by bushes, be gained
this tree and In a few seconds had
reached the upper branches. Concealed
by leaves, he ha4 an excellent view of
the Indians. He could see evary sue
of them and counted ten. Taking de
liberate aim, he sent a bullet at the
one farthest in advance, and he rolled
over dead.
A shot from two different points put
consternation into the Indians and
hope into the whites. Conorer sent
several shots among the Indians, kill
ing or wounding one with every shot;
then, descending quickly to the ground
and taking a different position, he
fired again, though this tijne, not see
ing an Indian, his shot was without
effect.
There were now half a dosen Indians
in the attacking party, and the prob
lem for them waa not how to get for
ward. but how to get away without
being picked off by this new enemy.
The father of the white family, having
evidence that he was being assisted by
an unseen force, took courage and used
his rifle to advantage—not that he
killed any Indians, for they were cov
ered, but that they were obliged to con
sider him as an effective enemy.
Conover kept on firing at the Indlame,
but never from the same point. One
shot would be sent from under a low
bush, the next from tho braueh of a
tree thirty feet from the ground. The
shots from above were the only ones
that were effective.
Thinking to take a last ahot from a
treetop -where he could see his target,
Con over saw from his perch that sev
eral new men had joined the Indians
and they were all grouped together in
conference, some of them looking up
to where he was as though In douot aa
to his being as dangerous an enemy aa
he appeared. Conover's rifle was of
long range, and he fired a ball right
Into the group. Tht* startled them, and
another shot quickly following the first
put them on the ran.
Conover now believed that the fight
was over and If not he could work So
better advantage with his allies, ao he
Went down and Joined them.
"How many of you are there ?''*uked
the father. <
"I'm the only one," waa the reply.
"You don't mean that you've driven
off all those red devils alone I"
"Oh, I spread myself."
"See here, stranger," aald the man,
with a tremor in his voice, "you've
saved-me and my family from mas
sacre. My children will thank you.
This la my daughter"—
Conover heard no more. A pair of
arms were thrown about his neck and
a face snuggled up agalnat him. and
he could hardly have disengaged him
self If he had wished to do so. The
girl referred to had a good grip on him
and showed no sign of letting htr» go.
This explains the Introduction la the
beginning of this story.
