complete success. Neither has he ia

made of the captured savages. He
takes occasion, however, to say IN his
own modest but decisive way that
the Apaches are not on the warpath
again; that they do not contemplate
such foolish action, and that they are
absolutely powerless TO do any harm
if they did, their leaders being in the
