Thank God, RuthI' cries Fanny,
extending one hand to her sister while
the other is unaccountably detained.
THANK God it's father and the Stone
man party and Dr.. Gray"
And Ruth, throwing herself upon
her knees by her sisters side. buries
her head upon her shoulder and sobs
anew for very joy.
And then comes sudden start. All
In an instant there rings, echoing down
the canyon, the sharp, spiteful crack Of
rifles, answered by shrieks Of terror
from the cave where lie the Moreno
women and by other shots out along
the range. Three faces blanch with
sudden fear, though Wing looks instant
ly up to say:
"They can't harm you, and our men
will be here in less than no time"
Out in the gorge men are springing
to their feet and seizing their ready
arms; horses are snorting and stamp
ing, mules braying in wild terror. Two
Of the ambulance mules, breaking loose
from their fastenings, come charging
down the resounding rock, nearly an
Initiating Moreno, who, bound and
helpless, praying and cursing by turns,
has rolled himself out of his nook and
lies squarely in the way of everything
and everybody. But above all the
clamor, the ring of carbine, the hiss
and spat of lead fattening upon the
rocks, Drummond's voice is heard clear
and commanding, serene and confident.
EVERY man to his post now. Re-
member your orders"
Gazing out into the canyon with di-
lated eyes, Ruth sees him nimbly clam
Der up the opposite side toward the
point where Walsh is kneeling behind
a rock-Walsh with his Irish mug ex-
panded in grin of delight, the smoke
just drifting from the muzzle of his
carbine as he points with his left hand
somewhere out along the cliffs. She
sees her soldier boy, 'crouching low,
draw himself to Walsh's side, sees him
glancing eagerly over the rocks, then
signaling to some one on their own
side, pointing here and there along the
wooded slope beyond her vision; sees
him now, with fierce light in his eyes,
suddenly clutch Walsh's sleeve and nod
toward some invisible object to the

CHAPTER X

Ten o'clock on a blazing Arizona
morning. The hot sun is pouring down
upon the jagged front of range of
heights where occasional clumps of pine
and cedar, scrub oak and juniper, seem
ed the only vegetable products hardy
enough to Withstand the alterations of
intense heat by day and moderate cold
by night, or to find sufficient sustenance
to exc out living on so barren soil.
Out to the eastward, stretching away
to an opposite range, lies a sandy des-
ert dotted at wide intervals with little
black lunches Of scrub mesquite"
and blessed with only one redeeming
patch of foliage, the copse of willows
and cottonwood here at the mouth of
rock ribbed defile where little brook,
rising heaven knows how or where
among the heights to the west, comes
frothing and tumbling down through
the w1ndings of the gorge only to bury
itself in the burning sands beyond the
shade. So narrow and tortuous is the
canyon, SO precipitous its sides, as to
prove conclusively that by no slow proc
ess, but by some sudden spasm of ma
ture, was it rent in the face Of the
range. And here in its depths, Just
around one of the sharpest bends, honey
combed out Of the solid rock, are half a
dozen deep lateral assures and caves
where the sunbeams never penetrate,
where the air is reasonably cool and
still, where en- this scorching May morn
ing, far away from home and relatives,
two young girls are sheltered by the
natural roofs and walls against the fiery
sunshine and by little band of reso-
lutte men against the fury Of the
Apaches.
Down in the roomiest Of the caves
Fanny and Ruth Harvey are listening
in dread anxiety to the sounds Of savage
warfare echoing from crag to crag
along the range, while every moment
or two the elder turns to moisten the
cloth she holds to wounded troopers g
burning, tossing head. Sergeant Wing
is fevered indeed by this time, raging
with misery at thought of his helpless
ness and the scant numbers of the de-
fense. 1t is bitter pill for the soldier
to swallow, this of lying in hospital
when every man is needed at the front.
At 0 o'clock this morning aveteran In
dian fighter, crouching in his sheltered
lookout above the caves and scanning
with practiced eye the frowning front
Of the range, declared that not an
Apache was to be seen or heard within
rifle shot. vet was in no wise surnrised

defenses against the open attack of
white men, they are ill adapted to pro-
iect the defenders against the fire of In
ians who can climb like, squirrels or
crawl or squirm through any chink or
crevice like SO many snakes.
Another shoti Another bullet flattens
itself on the rock close to his right
shoulder and then drops into the dust
by his knee. It comes from farther up
the cliff-perhaps 200 yards away
among those stunted cedars-but shud-
deringly close. Costigan and the other
men glance anxiously over their shoul-
ders at the point where their young
commander and Walsh are crouching.
They are not yet subjected to fire from
the rear, these others. The lookout,
the signal station, as it might be call
ed, is the highest point and most ex-
posed about the position.
For Gods sake, lieutenant" cries
the corporal, don 'tstay there. They've
got your range on two sides anyhow.
Come out Of it. You and Walsh can
slip down as we open fire. Well just
let drive in every direction until You
are safe below. sS VT
Drummond hesitates. Hesees half
pleading look in Walsh's honest face.
The Irishman would willingly tackle
the whole tribe in open fight, but what
he doesn't like is the idea Of being pot
ted like Gagged tiger, never knowing
whence came the shot that laid him
low. Then the lieutenant peers about
him. Yes, it is exposed to fire from a
point in the cliffs to the west, and
there are rocks over there to the north
that seem to command it, but II aban-
doned there will be no way Of prevent
ing hold advance ON the part of fha

A colored crank by the name of

the Speaker saying that if the Coxey

roads, was not passed, the White
House, Treasury and Capitol would
be destroyed by thunder and light.

up and during his Imprisonment he
remarked to an officer that unless the

Captain William Gable of Sha-
mokin has been requested by his
friends to accept the nomination for
Congress, subject to the will of the
Republican conference. He says he
Is in the hands of his friends and
will accept the nomination if it is
the desire Of the Republicans
throughout the Congressional Dis.
trict. The Captain served two terms
in the State Legislature as a repre-.
sentative from Northumberland coun.
ty, and was Deputy Collector of the
twelfth district under ex-President
Harrison. Captain Gable is spoken
OF very favorably by Republican
friends in this section.
The report circulated that Mr..
Brown. editor of the Bloomsburo
Republican, was a candidate for
Congress, seems to have been un
founded, as the Columbia county
conferees have expressed a will to
cast their vote for MIR. Gable
Either of these gentlemen would do
honor to their constituents.

If times have been hard and bust
ness slow, those merchants who have
wisely continued their advertising
in the newspapers have done the
cream of the business, getting the
largest share Of the trade that is
going. In fact, trade naturally
flows to those who have the spirit
and courage to ask for it. AS a
contemporary says: ut is fatal
mistake for business men to lose
courage in dull times and to imagine
that trade is so bad that it is useless
to work it up by commanding pub
lie attention"

A Gas Well SpOatIng $4,000. 900
Feet . Day.

FosToRIA, O., May 15.-One Of
the most phenomenal gas wells ever
known was discovered JUS: west If
Fostoria last night by the Chicago
Oil Company. The well is situated
on the James Wallace farm in Han.
cock county. Tie drill had ONLY
reached the depth of $50 feet when
gas WAS struck, which fact makes
the we'll more of prodigy. since
gas or oil was never known to have
been found here at depth less than
from 1000 to 500 feet.
The drillers heard the roar of oas
IS the drill tapped the reservoir and
ran for their lives. The drill was
hurled to height of 100 feet. Tn.
gas at once ignited from the fires Of
the boiler and shot a steady flame
100 feet into the air. Enough oil il
thrown out with the gas to keep a
large space surrounding the we'll As
. lake OF fire, and it is impossible TO
get closer than 100 feet to the burn>
ing well. The entire plant of the
drlllers, including the engine and
boiler, Is total loss. The surround.
ing country is a boggy, low, wet
place and for . quarter of mile
around the gas is coming up through
the earth with such force that ground
and water are thrown to q height of
ten feet or more.
The roar of the gas can be heard
for nearly ten miles. Oil men de.
clare that nothing like it wss ever
known. 1t is an entirely new terri
tory, and is supposed to be pocket
which will soon blow itself out. At
its present rate it can never be
brought under control. Its volumes
goes above all records, being esti,
mated at 50,0Oo,0O0 feet per day.

STEELTON, PA, MAY 7th. 1894.


After considerable litigation and
having other difficulties, the Citizens
Electric Railway Company have sue
ceeded in completing connecting
line between Harrisburg and Oberlin.
On Sunday morning regular trips
were commenced over the entire
line. -. Work at the Pennsylvania
Steel Company's plant has been on
the increase for last month. The
semi.monthly pay rolls are getting
larger every returning pay day.
There is one thing to fear and that
is the scarcity OF coke and coal,
caused by the strike in the coke
regions. Should this continue any
length of time, they will be com.
pel!ed to shut down some of the de-
partments. Mr.. A. II. Norris of
this place has been engaged to de-
liver the address at Catawissa, on
Memorial Day. .Coxcy was to have
delivered his harngue at the U. s.
Capitol on May Day, but he was
knocked out by authority. Served
him tight. The election contests
in reference to councilmen in the
fourth ward, of this borough, is
about at an end and the Judge and
majority inspector have been sus.
tanned in their action after re.
count of the votes, by an examiner
appointed by the court. The re-
union of the l27th Regt. Pennsylva-
mia Volunteers, was held here on
the Sd inst. About one hundred
and twenty-five responded to their
names. -. The primary elections
will be held on the 18th mat, to elect
delegates at county convention to
choose delegates to represent this
county in the Republican State Con.
venton, to be held at Harrisburg on
the 23d inst. The vote this fall will
mop up the soup house, starvation,
democracy and foul hoofed Cleve-
land will be set aside for future
reference, and a bad reference it
will be. d.
