there you'd have no chance at all Shure, do you suppose if the Apaehes were out-if this story was true-they wouldn't have heard il and investigated it by this time and the beacon fire would have been blazing at the Picachoi" Then Murphy turned and rar around the coiuer of the corral to g point where he could see the din outline of tho range against the western sky. 1Ae next moment his voice rose upon the night air, vi brant, thrilling:
 "Look God be good to us, maiorl It's no lie. The sigma fires blazing at the peak.
 CHAPTER II.
 Late that night, with jaded steeds, a little troop of cavalry was pushing westward across the desert. The young May moon was sinking to rest, its poor pallid light shining faintly in contrast with the ruddy glow of some distant beacon in the mountains beneath. Ever since nightfall the rock buttress at the pass had been refecting the lurid glare of the leaping flames as, time and again, unseen but busy hands heaped on fresh fuel and sent the sparks whirling in fiery eddies to the sky. Languid and depressed after a long days battling with the fierce white sunshine, horses and men would gladly have spent the early hours of night dozing at their rude bivouae in the Christobal. Ever since nine in the morning, after long night march, they had sought such shade as the burning rocks might afford, scooping up the tepid water from the natural tanks at the bottom of the canon and thanking Providence it was not alkali. The lieutenant commanding, tall, wiry, keen-faced young fel- low, had made the rounds of his camp at sunset, carefully picking up and scrutinizing the feet of his horses, and sending the farrier to tack on here and there a starting shoe. Gaunt and sunburned were his short-coupled California chargers, as were their tough-looking riders 1; fetlocks and boards were uniformly ragged shoes of leather and shoes of iron showed equal wear. A bronze, faced sergeant silently fol- lowing his young chief, watched him with inquiring eyes, and waited for the decision that was to condemn the command to another night march across the desert, or remand them to rest until an hour or so be- fore the dawn.
 "How far did you say il was to Ceralvo's, sergeant"
 "About twenty two miles, west. :"
 "And to Moreno'si"
 "About fifteen, sir; off here, !" and the sergeant pointed out across the plain, lying like a dun-colored blanket far toward the southern horizon.
 "We can get barley and water at bothf"
 "Plenty, sir"
 "The men would rather wait here, I suppose, until ? or 3 o'clock. !"
 "Very much, sir. They haven t been able to rest at all to-day. I've fed out the last of the barley, though"
 The lieutenant reflected a moment, pensiv, ly studying the legs of the trumpeter's horse.
 "Is there any chance of Moreno s people not having heard about the Apaches in the Christobali"
 Hardy, sir they are nearer the Tucson road than we are. The stage must have gone through this morn ing early. It's nothing new, anyhow. I've never known the time when the Indians were not in the neighbor hood of that range. Moreno, Hoo, is an old hand, sir

 T remember, was the answer, as inc lieutenant gently drew rein to lift his horses head. II think you were so frank as to give the reason of your quitting their employment. "
 Well, there was no sense trying to conceal it or anything else a man may do out here, lieutenant. They fired me for drinking too much at the wrong time. The section boss said he couldn't help himself and l don suppose hs could.'
 aAs I remember" said Drum mond, presently, and with hesita- ton, for he hated 10 9ry into the past of man who spoks so frankly and who made no effort to con ceal his weakness, "you were driver of the blackboard the Morales gang held mp last November over near the Catarinas. "
 saYes; that s the time got drunk, sir. It's all that saved me from being killed, and between keeping sober and losing my life or get ting drunk and les;;..s. job, l pre- fefr..;i ;ie ;s.le iiatter."
 "Yet you were in a measure re- sponsible for the safety of your passengers and mail, were you notfn
 aWell, no, sir. not after the warn ing gave the company. l told them Ramon Morales was in Tue son the night before we had to pull out, and wher- ever he was that internal cut throat of brother of his wasn't far away. I told them 1t was taking chances to let Judge Gillette and that infantry quartermaster try to go through without escort. I begged to throw up the job that very night, but they held me to my contract and had to go. We were jumped not ten miles out of town, and be- fore any one could draw a Derringer every man of us was covered. The judge might have known they'd shoot him on sight ever since that Greaser from Hermosillo was lynched. But they never harmed the quartermaster.
 "Huhl The devil they didn't l" laughed thelieutenant. stThey took his watch and his money and every thing he had on except his under clothing. How long had you been driving when that happenedF
 "Just eight months, sir, between Tucson and Grant,
 stAnd did you never serve with the cavalry beforei You ride as though you had.
 I'M ,st men hereabouts served on one side or the other," said Bland, calmly, as his horse finisked bis long pull at the water.
 "And your side was -" "Confederate, was the brief re- ply. "I was born in Texas. Here ccmes the troop, sir"
 aCome on, then. l want 10 ask you about that.trail to Crittenden as we ride. We make first for the Picacho Pass from here.
 "Why, that's south of west, sir, " answered Bland, "l had thought. perhaps the lieutenant would want to go northward toward the Gila to head off any parties of the Apaches that might be striving to get away eastward with their booty. They must have picked up something over at the Bend"
 "They're more likely to go south ward, Bland, for they know where we've been scouting all the week, No, I'll march straight to the signal. There they must know where the In- dians have gone"
 "Ay, ay, sir, but then you can only pursue, and a stern chase is long one."
