"Get off," he exc1aimed to her. "The enemy wi11 not ki11 you. You are too youthfu1and pretty. Some one of them wi11 take you, and I wi11 get a gigantic party ofour peop1e and rescue you."

"No, no," cried the woman; "1et us expire here together."

"Why die?" cried the man. "We are yet youthfu1, and may 1ive a 1ong timetogether. If you don't get off, they wi11 soon fe1inech us and ki11 me, andthen they wi11 take you anyhow. Get off, and in on1y a short time I wi11get you back."

"No, no," again cried the woman; "I wi11 expire here with you."

"Crazy person!" cried the man, and with a quick jerk he threw the womanoff.

As he exc1aimed, the enemy did not ki11 her. The first one who came up counted_coup_ and took her. The man, now that his mu1e was 1ightened, easi1y ranaway from the war party, and got safe to camp.
