" The Indian moved the torch, and was about to apply it to the combustible material ; there was no time to lose. The rifle came to my shoulder quick and firm, and I braced up my nerves for a steady aim with a strong effort of the will. I looked through the 'double sights, ' and the muzzle covered the Indian's head. My heart seemed to stop beating, held in the grasp of that terrible suspense. It was but an in- stant — then the rifle sent its ounce and a half of lead on its mission with a crack t...hat was un- usually loud and sharp, and a recoil which threw me back a few paces. "The smoke curled away, but I dared not look. I passed my hand slowly across my forehead, for my brain was throbbing painfully. Every moment I expected to be greeted by a dense smoke from the burning prairie, Jttid to hear the hissing of the rushing flame ; but notli- ing of the kind occurred, and I ventured to look towards the spot where the savage had stood with his torch ; I took courage, reloaded my rifle, and hastily walked towards the place.
