They now began pounding the wagon
body with their clubs, to detach the iron
| braces and bands. Luke could hear the
smashing OF the woodwork, with occa-
slonally howl of wrath or pain as they
hurt each other or themselves in their
hasty efforts
What an agony of terror the poor fellow
must have suffered, lying there under the
edge of the hay, and expecting every
moment to be discovered! He knew If
he were taken he would be shot with
arrows or be hung by the heels to q
branch, with fire placed under his head.
Suddenly one of the savages gave a
loud whoop. Then there was silence. In
a moment Luke heard them rushing away.
Almost at the same time he heard several
gun-shots at distance; and Immediately
the trampling OF horses coming nearer.
As he lay on the ground, he soon
heard the sound of hoofs upon itvery dis
tinctly. He knew it was Gillespie and
his men coming back with the soldiers at
the station.
They rode up to and around the dis
mantled wagon. Some lingering spark Of
mischief prompted Luke to lie still.
Poor boy! they've got him, surel' ex
claimed voice.
Don't see any signs as if they'd muir
dered himp' observed another, jumping
OF his horse to look about. "Perhaps
they've carried him off with them"
They didn't seem to have him with
them," Gillespie remarked. "But they
must have the poor fellowl" he added.
6 He couldn't possibly have got away.
Come on! Wen rescue him yet if he's
alivep'
They were hastily remounting to pur-
sue the savages when muff1ed HeIloi"
sounded from under the pile of hay.
The men uttered an exclamation.
Under the hay!" cried one.
Shot full of arrows and left under the
hay" said another, pityingly.
Luke, Luke" shouted Gillespie, "are
you alive?"
ooh, I'm all rightn' exclaimed Luke.
They dug him out in hot haste
You little scampr' was all that Gil
espie could say.
Then there was a shout of laughter.
Luke's adventure was always great joke
with the men.
The Apache that Gillespie had shot lay
where he had fallen. None of the rest
probably went near him after he fell. It
is said that the Apaches never remove or
even touch the bodies of their fellows that
fall in battle, but let them lie exactly as
they fall. 1t is one of their superstitions
that whoever touches a corpse will soon
have i'll luck or meet with some great mis-
fortune.
But Gillespie and the soldiers had no
such scruples. They hung the body to
the branch of mesquit tree standing
near, as warning to the Apaches to
keep away in future. We were told that
for more than two years it hung there, an
lnhuman but characteristic spectacle of
this strange country.-Youth's Companion.

TEN THOUSAND A YEAR.

I'VE present this BIZ of wrepped-up philosophy 10
'ur feverish wealth-hunters who sacrifice every
rood of life in their mad desire for sudden for
une. 1t is from London comic paper:l
III had ten thousand year
| think could manage to spend it;
Could squander the half, very near,
And as for the rest-I could lend it.
Could squander the half, I should say,
On folly, on vice, and on sorrow,
On dreary debauches to-day
Repentance and headache tomorrow.
Could purchase with half Of my wealth,
Or less, if | cared to diminish.
Bad morals, bad conscience. bad health,
And bad-ish lookout at the finish.
And the rest of my gold could lend
The friend who in want had stood by me.
And lose both my money and friend
For thenceforWard forever he'd shy me.
If had ten thousand year,
The sentimentraay seem clap-TappY,
I'm blest If think it's so clear,
should not be sick and unhappy.
At present I've friends-very dear
Health and comfort, as long as I'm thrifty
SO don't want ten thousand year,
I'm content with my hundred and fifty.

Our Young Folks.
LITTLE DILLFDALLY

By JOSEPHINE POLLARD.
Idon't believe you ever
Knew any one 80 silly
As the girl I'm going to tell about,
A little girl named DillY.
iIly-dally-Dilly!
OH she is very slow:
She drags her feet
Along the street,
And dilly-dallies so!
She's always late for breakfast,
without bit of reason;
For Bridget rings and rings the bell.
And wakes her up in season.
Dilly-dally-Dilly!
How can you be so slow!
Why don't you try
To be more spry,
And not dilly daily so?
IT'S lust the same at evening:
And it's really quite distressing
To see the time that Oily wastes
In dressing and undressing.
Dilly-dally- Oily
Is always in huff
II you hurry her,
Or worry her,
And says, There's time enough"
