Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great adj
vantage to the utgrower of being in early locality

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

Ihe Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
from 81 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 120, 160 and 800 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
tereSt at the rate OF per cent. per annum
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices TO CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming. and es-
pecially adapted for fTuit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
S100 an acre. An examination Of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers q result easy of
accomplishment
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

line they were pursuing-for road, you
could not call it-and plunged into the
creek, up whose rocky stream bed they
rode with undiminished speed. This
brought them to a clearing, across
which they literally flew, urging the
painting horses to maddening gallop;
but as they reached the cover of a
friendly wood, Swayne drew the rein.
Hold hard minute, mate, we must
breathe the critters, or they'll hev
US sure es shootin'," he cried, wheel
ing his horse round, and peering through
the branches of the trees.
The clearing was long strip of corn
land, lying in a valley between two
ridges. Frank and Swayne had crossed
it at right angles in its narrowest part,
where it was probably not more than
fifty or sixty rods from wood to wood.
All, here they comet
Not as Swayne and Frank had done,
but up the full sweep Of the lowland-a
long line of Struggling horsemen, half
mile away yet, but in full sight of the
wary watchers
''By M1tes, but them hyenas amt on
our tracks after all! See that chap a.
leadin' 'em-he's the one they're
chasin', an the Lord hev mercy on his
soul, eff they catches him.
1t was an exciting scene. As Swayne
said, the leading man was evidently
the quarry Of the others, and as they drew
nearer it was apparent that he wore
the uniform of Union officer. The
chase must have been long and severe,
for the horses of all were pounding
along with that rolling gait, which told
how nigh they were exhausted. In
fact, several in the far distance could
be seen who had dropped out of the
race altogether: only three were within
pistol-shot of the fugitive, on whom
they were gaining at every stride.
81 allow we're agoin' ter take ham
in this game" Dick said, grimly,
tightening his saddle-girth as he spoke.
'tNow soon es they git alongside, dash
they'll think the woods is full on us,
an you'll see circus"
So when the laundering hoofs were
close upon them, the two young fellows
burst out of ambush, yelling like a
band of Comanches.
Swayne, with his strong, fresh horse,
in the fury of his attack literally rode
down the foremost of the pursuers,
while Frank hurled himself upon the
second, who, however, managed to keep
his saddle.
But the rout was complete. Without
stopping to look behind them the en-
envy had turned tail and fed, doubtless
believing from the daring nature of the
attack that whole regiment was at
their heels
'Quiclr, bys, to the wood"' Swayne
cried, 'afore these wildcats kin git Their
eyes skinned ter see the trick we've
played EN-"
AS they rode under cover again
Frank turned to examine the man they
had rescued. He was a well-built,

CHAPTER VI


Though the Union army was defeated at
Wilson's creek, twas not by any means
crushed, Major Sturgis, upon whom the
command dev2lved, making mastery
retreat. Frank Besant fraternized with
the Iowa boys, by whom he was cred
tied with some gallant conduct, though
the din of battle had seemed to him
like a dream hard to remember at the
awakening. OF course he had fired as
long as his ammunition lasted, and
used his bayonet like the rest of them;
but as for any particular act of heroism,
if such there had been, it had entirely
escaped his remembrance.
Of course his new friends were willing
to share their rations with him, and
blankets were to be had for the picking
up, but no one seemed inclined to take
the responsibility OF giving him orders.
Join your regiment as quick as you
can," was the nearest approach to a
command he received.
So unfettered and disconsolate he
roamed about as he listed, observant of
every thing round him, and on a keen
lookout for Dick Swayne, who he
thought might help him find his regi-
ment.
1t was not till some weeks after
wards that he learned how little likely
he was to find the staunch Missourian,
who had yielded to Mark Henderson's
entreaties to join his regiment-not till
Frank heard of the brilliant charge
Major Zagonyi with three hundred
horsemen made at Springfield on two
thousand Confederates, seventy of his
men as they rode saber in hand, falling
ere they reached the enemy, when he
scattered four hundred Confederate
cavalry and routed regiment of in
of Richard Swayne.
So Frank, finding none to help him,
helped himself in the best way he
could, fighting when there was fighting
to do, and giving helping hand to the
ambulance squads whenever occasion
demanded his services.
Thus in five days he found himself in
Springfield, where the very first person
he met was James Lawson driving a
light supply wagon.
"Hullol'' that worthy cried, almost
dislocating the mules jaw n his eager
ness to stop. why, blame me if ever
thought was going to set eyes on you
again, oldfellow. Come, jump up along
side me. I've been down to the COM
missariat masters for some grub, but
I'm going right back. And won't the
boys be glad to see your
$50 the regiments here all right?"
''You bet it is. Say, weren't we lucky
to miss the carnage at Wilson's creek?
It almost made me sick to see them
carry the wounded to the field hos
pitals."
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1891-12-24

handsome man of thirty-wen bred,
too, if one could judge from his clear
cut features.
"Well, boys, you've done me the best
turn any one ever did for me in this
world, and 1 only pray to Heaven that
if either of you are ever in such tight
fix as 1 was ten minutes ago you'll find
as brave hearts to help you as I've done. "
"Amen to that!' Frank said. "Now
satisfy our curiosity by telling US who
you are and where you are from?"
''Mark Henderson, at your service,
Captain of Zagonyi's cavalry, and now
or at least a dozen hours ago-on the
staff of General Lyon. started at
dawn with a guide to try and make
communication with troops that are
supposed to have left Kansas City to
come to our aid, but the rascally villain
led me right into that nest of hornets
you saw buzzing about my ears"
"And 1 am on my way to General
Lyon to tell him that those very troops
are hurrying by forced march to join
him." Frank calculated.
Henderson looked keenly at the
speaker.
''It's rather curious dodge, isn't it?''
he said, ''to rig you up in private's uni
form? What rank do you hold IN the
service?"
''Just what you see-1uu private
that is ALL
''Then your Colonel must have a fine
regiment if his rank and file are filed
by such as you. Give me your hand,
my boy, you will have your commission
before the month is out, or I'm no judge
of matters"
ct appears ter me, you two uns is
gassin' a toI'ble sight too much.
Wouldn't it be jess es sensible eff yer
was ter put few more miles atween
you an them gorillas afore yer got so
tonguey."
The hint was too valuable to be dis
regarded, so once more they resumed
their journey. If they could have gone
In direct line they would have reached
Springfield by night-fall, but they were
so often obliged to make detours to
avoid the enemy that when darkness
came on they were obliged to camp in
the woods till daylight. And when
dawn came the roaring of guns and
Gathering of small-arms in the near dis
lance told them that for all their dreary
ride and headlong speed they were too
late.
Up steep hill before them they rode
in haste, and on mounting its crest,
though the sky was but just cleaning
with the rays of the newly risen sun,
the whole panorama of the battlefield
lay before them.
"Wilson's creek, by thunderI An
thought we was ten miles away" Dick
Swayne cried, as he dashed his spurs
in his horses flank and galloped down
the declivity.
As they rode they could see the
armies of either side massing-Ben Nc
Culloeh, with his fifteen thousand
fighting men from Arkansas-Lyon and
Siegel with their five thousand, some Of
whom had borne themselves so well at
Boonville.
