a Risky Story of western oItSAavOntnre
Told by tho Colonel
LouisrHle Courier Journal
"Haltl What's that2" said our leader
in a sharp whisper.
1t was clear moonlight night in the
extreme southwest Of Mexico.
Twas visiting friend who conducted
large ranch and hacienda there.
A local revolt had just been queiled
in the neighborhood, and spirit OF
lawlessness still pervaded the atmos-
phere. Only the night before my
friend had been fired upon and ono of
his storehouses robbed by band Of In
dams some fifteen or twenty strong
Early in the morning four Of US, under
Tho leadership OF our host, had set out
upon the track OF the robbers.
We were well mounted and, resting
only few hours at noon, had followed
hard after them till nearly midnight.
II we met them in fair field we could
drive them into quarters like cows to a
pen, but We had no mind to run into a
trap in the dark with FIVE against
fifteen, hence caution.

A CONNECTION.

"Come down or I'll shoot!" roared our
host, but they kept on dancing and he
did shoot
Then there was commotion enough.
A wild cry, followed by cloud OF dust,
rose from the brow of the hill
"Fire" yelled our host, aud We re-
sponded with we'll aimed voHey, while
he whipped out his heavy revolver and
gave them another peppering.
There was perfect bediam OF screams
from the hill, and the dust hid every
thing from view. They were either
coming down upon us in an unexpected
horde or running for their lives.
For US it was either fly or follow. We
waited irresolutely, for tho word of our
leader, when the dust settled and there
stood the Indians, silently going on
with their fantastic dance as though We
we're hundred miles away.
With fierce ejaculation our host put
spurs to his horse and dashed up tho
hill. We followed, without command,
to find him upon tho summit, sitting on
the ground beneath line of gaunt and
ghostly like prickly pears-the ungainly
cactus Of Mexico.
They extended along the brow Of the
hill, thoir naked, skeleton branches
spreading out in every unaccountable
way and swaying solomnly in the
breeze.
Among tho roots multitude OF bur.
rows in the dry dust showed where the
sand birds had been lying, ha|i-buried
and quietly sleeping, and it was their
noisy vel p we had heard whom they
were frightened away by our hosts duel
with the cactus.

THE THIEVES.


"Halt! What's that% our leader had
whispered. We had come to the edge
OF d dense woods and across an open
space upon the brow of low sandhill,
clearly outlined in the moonlight,
against the sky, we had discovered a
dOzon or more half naked fellows, with
their arms extended in every direction,
engaged in some sort OF weird, fan
tastic dance.
We could not SEQ their legs, for the
tops of tho trees beyond the hill, rose
waist high, making a black background,
but their arms moved slowly to and fro
and we could easily imagine their legs
keeping company.
"Those are the thievesl" our host
muttered. 81 know them, even at
night. You fellows just come to the
edge Of the wood, where they can see
you without knowing how many there
are Of you, and I'll have them down
hero in no time"
He rode out alone to the foot OF tho
hill.
II required no little courage, and we
watched him with proportionate adj
miration.
or notice him. Suddenly. with his rifle
at his shoulder, he called to them:-"1
have you there! If one OF you move
I'll shoot him deadl
The wind had been blowing through
the trees, so that we could not have
heard their response, but fortunately at
that moment it ceased, and in the deep
silence which settled down upon the
forest in such a momentaryb lull we
waited for the result.
Every Indian suddenly ceased his
dancing and stood Ikea statue outlined
against the sky.
Come downshere, now" shouted our
host. "Come quietly, too, for the first
man who makes any trouble drops
dead"
We could hear sound as ola hurried
consultation of some sors going on upon
the hill for moment, but the wind
sprung up again before We could dis
tfngush single voice, and, to our utter
astonishment. the fellows actually be-
gan their solemn dance again.

Five Pennies.

A St. James avenue car was bowl ing through Chestnut street, crowd cd with people on their way to the opera house. Two ladies boarded the car. One, who patronizes the railway often and by chance with this one conductor, is always unfor- tunate in having no change but five pennies. She related her tale of woe to her friend and proposed to swap her five pennies for ten cent piece, which was agreed upon. The con ductor, equal to the emergency, took the ten cent piece, but before making change passed on to her friend, get ting the five pennies. and returned them to the lady who first had them, to the glee of the passengers, who could not help roaring with laugh ter, while the conductor had to ram his glove in his mouth to keep in. The lady has decided to pay her own five pennies in the future. Spring Geld Homestead.
