helped them to make good their es- cape, and when they arrived at the little place, bringing with them the dead body of the girl, words could hardly describe the excitement and confusion which followed. The pres idente of the town called on every able bodied man and soon a motley crowd, armed with every conceivable kind ot weapon, was organized to go in search of the Apache band.
 The next morning a sad procession of several hundred men set out on the trail for Saueripi, escorting poor Car olina's remains. Billy was gloomy and dispondent all during the journey, and recalling ali the events of the dance at the doctors house, he could not help thinking that he was in some way to blame for Carolina's death. At Saueripi he learned the truth. The Indians had suddenly turned about and taken the back trail. They reached the trail of Saueripi the day Billy left and killed several people close to the town. Carolina heard of the depredations which had been committed, and knowing the Indians would head for the mountain through which Billy would have to pass on his return, she resolved to ride to Bacanora and warn him of his danger in time to save his life. Hers was an heroic act, but the Indians reached the mountains ahead of her, ana she died, as many other women have done, while trying to perform a mission of love.
 Billy has never forgotten this tragic event, and while he never loved the girl, whom he only met on one occa- sion, yet it would be as much as a mans life is worth to lightly refer to "monkey face"
 Soon after the Apache war had ended Billy went to Nogales, Ariz., and there became involved in a shoot ing scrape with desperate negro, who tried to kill him without cause. With his usual good humor he tried in every way to avoid difficulty, and had purposely kept out of the negro's way, but the fellow imagined that the little scout was afraid of him, and followed him round with doubl barrelled shotgun. The two met at last in saloon, and before the negro could raise his gun Billy had drawn his deadly six shooter and sent bullet through his heart. The case was so clearly in Billy's favor that he was never arrested or tried.
 Billy is now engaged in prospecting and ranching in the mountains of Sonora, not far from the old Canonea mines, but he is often seen on the streets of Nogales and Tombstone, and is welcome guest wherever he goes. (Ariz.) correspondence Post Dispatch.

How to Reduce Your Expenses.

You can do it easily, and you will not have to deprive yourself of sim gle comfort; on the contrary, you will enjoy life more than ever. How can you accomplish this result? Eas- fly; cut down your doctors bills. When you lose you appetite, and be- come bilious and constipated, and therefore low-spirited, don't rush off to the family physician for prescrip- tion, or, on the other hand, wait until you are sick abed before doing any, thing at all; but just go to the drug gist's and for twenty five cents get a supply of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pur- gative Pellets. Take them as directed, and our word for it, your unpleasant symptoms will disappear as if by magic, you will have no big doctors bill to pay, and everybody interested (except the doctor) will feel happy.

 SONG OF THE SHOE.

With fingers all cracked and sore, And back bent like how, A cobbler sat on his lOwly bench, A picture of want and woe.
 "Peg! peg! peg On foot old and new" And still with a cracked and wheezing voice, He sang the 'Song of the Shoe."
 "Pegl pegi pegl With never permission to slack,

The Coming Novel Writer.
San Francisco Call.

The world of letters is watching en- riously the scramble among the writ CTS of the day for the laurel crown which fell to the ground when Elliott and Dickens and Thackeray died. When those great writers lived there was 8 swarm of second-rate novel; writers among whom it was believed that successor to their fame might be found, but he has not appeared. There IS no writer in the English tongue who can command the audi ences that Dickens could, nor is there one who can delight the refined taste of the scholar as it used to be charmed by the authors of "Middlemarch" and "Henry Esmond." There are many bright romancers, many amusing. many delightful, but where is there one whose works the reader wants to buy in solid binding and put away on the shelves of his book case? Yet it is not to be supposed that the last word has been said in novel; or that fiction has reached its highest pima cle. Our grandchildren, depend upon 1t, will have novels as brilliant as any that have appeared in the present gen. eration, and some of them, no doubt. will be from pens which are now fieshing their maiden point, and by authors whom no one knows: hence. whenever bright book makes it's ap- pearance the reader eagerly waits for it's successor, in the hope that it may be the coming chef 4euyve. What disappointments have followed! How few modern story -witers have fol- lowed the example of Dickens and Thackeray and gone on ripcning to their last hour! It seems to be the fate of the present generation of au- thors to write themselves out in their youth. Is there any chance that "In Far Lochaber" will equal the first part of "The Princess of Thule?" Will Rhoda Broughton ever write anything that can compare with "Good-bye, Sweetheart" Will Howells ever again rise to the level of his early work? Still the coming man or woman must in all probability be working his or her way through the magazines, or testing the strength of his or her pin ions in an occasional volume. There are reasons why the coming novel, writer should be an American. Neither in England nor in this country does it pay to write novels. There is as much truth as humor in the late caricature of Life, which describes an author ap- plying to his publisher for a position as canvasser for his book, Gin the hope that he might make little money out of it." There are not above dozen novel-writers in England who make living with their pens; most of them live by other work. In this country the magazines furnish writer with bread while he is writing book for fame and posterity. No such mag azines exist in England. Hence it is more likely that the possessor of the genius required to write "Vanity Fair," or "Our Mutual Friend" will be found in country where he can live while he is at work than in one where the composition of a novel either implies position under gov ernment or prolonged period of po- lite starvation.

4 Romance Of the Plains.

One of the best known characters in southern Arizona is Billy Long, one of the pluckiest little scouts that ever "pumped lead" into band of blood thirsty y,throat-cu tting Indians. He was with Captain Lawson, who rounded up that willy, red skinned Geronimo, and did such splendid service during the almost endless chase after the Apache chief that he was specially mentioned in the official report of the campaign.
 The "Little Scout" as he is some. times called, is Texan by birth, and as far back as he can remember he has been on the frontier driving cattle, fighting Indians and playing hide-and- seek with nature in search of her pre- cious metals. He is still young, being only about twenty-five years of age, yet he has the reputation of being quick on the trigger, and, it is said, he never misses what he draws on.
 Several years ago, when that we'll known pioneer, Charlie Benham, was making great effort to develop the silver mines of northern Mexico, he employed Billy to drive stage run ming between the city of Hermosillo and one of the mining camps in the Canonea mountains, also to act as wagon master for bullion trains com- ing in from the mines. Billy was employed in this capacity in the spring of 1885, at which time Ge- ronimo and his band of renegade Apaches started on their bloody raid through Sonora. The news of the fresh Indian outbreak was telegraphed from Arizona to Charlie Benham at Hermosillo, and he knew at once that his camp in the Canonea mountains would be one of the first places raided, as it was situated in the very heart of an old Apache stronghold. An Indian outbreak had not been ex- pected, and the men at the mines had only few guns and were in utter ignorance of the impending danger. No time was to be lost, as the Indians were known to be heading south and travelling day and night.
 Selecting two of the best horses in the corral, Benham had one loaded with Winchester rifles, Colt revolvers and ammunition, and begged Billy to make all haste in reaching the unsus- pecting miners in the mountains. It was long, lonesome ride through a rugged country, but Billy was eager to make the trip. He had passed over the trail SO often that every landmark was familiar to him, and he prided himself that he could find his way on the darkest night. He set out for Hermosillo late in the afternoon.
 All that night he rode, a,.1 Jle next day and the next night, never stop- ping to sleep or to give his animals a moments rest. On the morning of the second day he reached the foothills of the Canonea mountains, twelve miles from the camp. His horses were badly jaded, and he was beginning to feel the effects of the long ride him. self. A small water-hele was reached, where there was an abundance of grass, and he stopped and let his horses graze an hour or two. Leisurely he nddled up, and was just preparing to mount, when he noticed his horse was watching something in the distance.
 Billy turned in the direction the horss was looking and discovered .

a total of over 1000 tons OF freight
And to-day made similar record
here In Seattle. The longest train
that ever came into Seattle was No. 1,

consisted OF 50 cars loaded with coal
from the Franklin, Cedar Mountain
and Black Diamond mines. The ears
carry an average OF Is tons each max
