"De debbIe he git full o. rum;

The captain motioned stiffness to his
men now taking their positions along
the brink; then said to the boy: ''Call
him by name"
''De debble-" the singer had begun,
when Joe hailed him:
''Oh-h, Pete!'
''Huh! Hullo up dar! You back, boss?

Joe dashed down the slope ahead of
the men, who, with weapons in readi-
ness against surprise, followed slowly.
"Why. Pete, how on earth did you
get the better Nv the redskins? Yer've

The four Indians, tied hand and foot.

ground like dead men. The negro
chuckled

Supper was cooked and eaten, and
guard of two men having been set, the
others went to sleep The prisoners
had shown no signs of waking. At
half past three o'clock in the morning
the captain arose, called the two men
due to relieve the guard at four, and
held with them and the men on duty a
whispered consultation. The Indians.
now awake, were furtively trying to slip
from their bonds.
Joe, sleepily stirring in his blanket,
heard Capt. Mckinley say: 1--WE can't
take 'em along with US, and we cont
turn 'em loose"
1t was still dark when the camp,
awakened by the sound of volley,
sprang to arms. The prisoners were
gone. Somewhere above the spring the
shooting for few moments was brisk,
then ceased. The men would have
rushed toward the scene Of the firing,
but the captain was walking back with
smoking revolver in hand, followed by
the guards.
Its all right boys" he called. 1.-The
prisoners made break to get away,
and we had to stop 'em."
Up the channel the dawning light re-
vealed the four Apaches lying on the
sands No one went near them.
The prospectors helped to reload the
wagon, and with brief farewells all
hands went their way. With Black
Pete and his hat box, Joe Dobbs re-
ported at noon at the Great Cinch,
bringing some scanty and mussed-up
freight, Peg Leg Crawford's empty
medicine bottle, sprained shoulder,
and great reason for thankfulness that
things were no worse.-Clarence Pul-

Despite heat and dust, the trip to the
station for supplies was looked on as
pleasure excursion by Joe, Missouri
boy, who liked nothing better than to
"whaclS" mules. The camp was a long
days journey away, and he called and
cracked the whip often at his long-eared
steeds to keep them to their pace. The
route lay through an arid plain, its
baroness varied by scanty tufts of
grama, tall sand-grass, scattered clumps
of mesquit and many cactuses and
yuccas.
About an hour after noontime the
wagon descended the side of deep
hollow winding through the desert,
