on the open plain; the paymaster and his clerk, Mullan and the other soldier, dead in their tracks and burned to ashes by this time, and, best of all, that pig of sergeant, ' as Moreno called him, that hound and murderer, Feeny-he who had slain Ramon bound, gagged and left to miserable death by torture. Indeed, as he was jolted along in the ambulance, groan- ing and cursing by turns, Pasqual won dered why he had not insisted that liar >yey, too, should be given the coup de grace before their start. It was an un- pardonable omission. Never mindl There in the brand new Concord that came clattering along was booty that outrivaled all. There was wealth far exceeding the stacks of treasury notes-old Harvey's daughters-old Harvey's daughters. It was with mad, feverisA joy that when as last the sun came pouring in a flood of light over the desert of the Cababi he listened to the report of a trusted subordinate.
 ''I could see every mile of the road with my glasses, capitan, from the cliff top yonder--every mile from Moreno's to where wo struck the canyon. There isn't sign of dust-there isn't a sign of pursuing party"
 "Bueno! Then we rest when we reach the cave. This is even better than hoped.
 But there were two elements in the problem Capitan Pasqual had failed to consider Lieutenant Drummond' s scout in the Christobal, Cochises' band of Chiricahuas in the Santa Maria. Who could have foreSeen that the little troop, finishing its duties at the north ern end of the range and about turning south to rescout the Santa Maria, had ridden out upon the plain, summoned by the beacon at Picacho pass, and less than two hours after their hurried start from the burning ruins at Moreno's were speeding on their trail? The best fieldglasses ever stolen from the paternal government could not reveal to the flee ing outlaw that, only two or three miles back in the dim recesses of the crooked gorge, the bluecoats were following in hot pursuit. Who could have dream ed that band of Apaches, cut off from their native wilds by detachments from Bowie, Lowell and Crittenden, and forced to make wide detour to the southwest, had sought refuge in the very gorge of the Cababi whither Pas qual with all speed was urging his men?
 We rest when we reach the cave.'
 An, even the torment of his wound could not have wrung from the robber chief this longed for order had he dreamed what was coming at his back.
 How are the girls getting on:'' he asked of his hot and wearied aid. Are they tranquil now?'
 "They have to be, = was the grim re- ply. The little one dare not open her eyes, and Sanchez has his knife at the elders throat"
 And the sunrise had brought with it new inspiration-new purpose to those who came trotting to the rescue. Just as the cliffs on the western side were tipped and fringed with rose and gold, Sergeant Lee, riding rapidly far ahead from point to point, always carefully peering around each bend before signal

SELECTION OF PIECES.
This Is of the Utmost Importance to Both
 Pupil and Teacher.

This Is of the Utmost Importance to Both
 Pupil and Teacher.
 As regards the selection of pieces, teachers too often make the mistake of choosing those too difficult for their pu- pills. They forget that a simple melody we'll played is preferable at all times to an ambitious piece whose difficulties cause the performer to halt and stumble. An examination of the musical portfo- ho of our average young ladies by one uninitiated would lead him to suppose them performers of the highest caliber. Liszt, Rubinstein, Raff and, in fact. ev- cry famous concert composer will be found represented, while the owner thereof, most likely, will be unable to play even one bar of their compositions correctly.
 The Strauss waltz mania that swept over this country some years ago must be held responsible for the checking of many promising students advance ment. These waltzes, never originally intended for the piano, contain difficult ties beyond the grasp of ordinary per formers. Written for orchestra, their arrangement in piano form could not be otherwise than impracticable, so far as the aiding of a correct style of playing is concerned, and also unthankfu1 as re- gaTds results. For an average valse de concert, written for the instrument, though apparently from cursory glance of a much higher grade, will, on close ex- animation, not alone be found easier, but also incomparably more brilliant and ef- fective.
 To those whose style is not yet formed, and who arc anxious to obtain perfect technique, The Musical World advises that they avoid all arrangements for or chestral scores or adaptations originally written for other instruments. This of course does not apply to transcriptlons made by eminent writers. The judicious selection of pieces, studies, etc., is of the utmost importance, not alone as apply ing to the welfare of tine pupil, but also holding the material success of the teacher. It is well for both parties if happy medium is here adopted. Many go to the most opposite extremes.
 To the child who is just learning to read, we do not offer Shakespeare; nei- ther does the father, when he desires to give his son some relaxation from his schoolbooks, select one of George Eliots works. This would only weary his young mind, and instead of stimulating serve to check whatever is luxuriant there. The same rules apply to music. To ap- preciate what is noble in this art, q grad ual cultivation is necessary. Yet the means to arrive at such an end must be most varied It will not do to pursue a cut and dried course, applied to all, ire spective of difference in character or tall ent. One must be led, another stimu- lated; this one restrained and apparently held back by force; all different, yet all brought nearer to perfection by ways seemingly opposite.

Recines For Potato Salad.

Here are two recipes for potato salad from Good Housekeeping. You can use the first one when in Q hurry. It con- sists in boiling the potatoes ill salted wa ter, letting them stand till almost cool, cutting them into dice, adding a gener- ous portion of butter, half an onion shredded fine, 3 tablespoonfuls of vine gar, all mixed we'll together and served cold.
 The second recipe is for salad that presents an attractive appearance in ad- dition to being appetizing: Mix potatoes and onions, put them in salad dish and pour over them a. French dressing made with tablespoonfuls of salad oil or but ter, the yolk of an egg and tablespoon fuls of vinegar, mixing carefully the egg and butter and adding vinegar gradual ly. The dish is then garnished with slices of hard boiled egg and sprigs of parsley.

The New York Legislature As

THE RESULTS OF THE oAUoUsEs.

The Republicans and Democrats Made
 Their Nominations Without Any Serious
 CIash-New Officers Sworn In-Governor
 Flowers Message Read.
 ALBANY, Jan. 2.--Both houses of the state legislature convened today and pro- reeded to organize. The election of officers was merely form, for all the details had been fixed in the caucuses. Governor Flowers message was received and read. By tomorrow the lawmakers will be in full swing, and there is long programme already mapped out.
 Asis usually the case, all the hustle and hustle over the question of who should have the important offices in senate and assembly came to an end when the caucuses were held, and while the general result was known some time ago in nearly every case, all speculation was set at rest. Ac- cording to a previous arrangement, the majority of the assembly met in the as- sembly chamber and the minority-the Democrats-in the assembly parlor. The Republicans of the senate met in the sen ate library and the Democrats in the lieu tenant governors room. Prior to the time

 able from one house to another. These, however, are rather too expensive for the average purse, and therefore the person having but limited amount of money to expend in this direction may be obliged to study ways and means to obtain the result at a smaller outlay. This, happily, one can easily do by the choice of one of the numerous schemes available for pro duction by amateur effort. Such, for instance, as the one here reproduced from The Decorator and Furnisher, wbich says: There is one thing, how evc:, i'll the choice of d design that should be kept in view, and that is to choose something in keeping with the personal ity of the mistress of the house.
 "One should never lose sight of the question of utility. and remember that satisfactory results are attainable only by the judicious selection of the right things for the right place-both as re- gards form and color-aud not bya mul- tipicity of objects thrown together hap hazard. What in the most artistic schemes of furnishing. may appear to be unstudied carelessness IS indeed the ro- suit of the most profound study, re-en- forced of course by natural good taste"

 A graceful arrangement for silk dress consists of wide flounce 10 inches deep, with heading of three tiny silk ruffles overlapping each other. these same ruff f1es to be used around the skirt below the hips if the wearer is very tall and thin; otherwise avoid any trimmings on the skirt above the knees. The new cir cular skirt is very graceful one when trimmed with fur or other flat garniture around the bottom. Tall women also add second row around the skirt about where a short overskirt would fall. Braid or other flat trimming placed in waving rows around the bottom of the skirt affords pleasing style of garni- ture

The Fad For COZY Corners.

Everywhere nowadays one is confront ed with schemes for the fitting up of cozy corners and odd hooks. It is a fad ill furnishing that has certainly taken hold among the fair sex, and judging from present indications will show no diminu- tion in the immediate future.
 For this fashion we are undoubtedly indebted to our English cousins, among whom this feature in furnishing has at- tained even greater popularity than on this side of the water. The English up holsterer now sells the ''cozy corner" as an article of furniture easily remov-

CHAPTER VII


 A new May morning was breaking, its faint rosy light warming the crests of the Santa Maria, when Lieutenant Drummond signaled halt to his lit tie band, the first halt since leaving Moreno's at 2 80. Down in a rocky canyon a number of hoof prirts on the trail diverged to the left and followed an abrupt descent, while the wagons had kept to the right and by 8 winding and more gradual road seemed to have sought a crossing farther to the west. 1t was easy to divine that, with such clements in the gang, there had been no long separation between the horsemen and tho treasure they were guarding, and, eager as he was to overtake the renegades, Drummond promptly decided to follow the hoof tracks, rightly con jecturing, too, that they would bring him to water in the rocky tanks below.
 Dismounting and leading his big sorrel, he sprang lightly from ledge to ledge down what seemed a mere goat trail, each man ill succession dismount-

The Bakers Helper gives this formula: Two and one-hnlf pounds of sugar, 14 pounds of lard. , eggs, ? ounces of soda, 3 quarts of molasses, l pint of water, 4 pounds of flour, 8 pounds of crumbs. Make icing with eggs, with the addition of a little cream of tartar. Make icing quite thin, so as to spread easy, roll out dough, spread icing over it and cut in small strips about F inch by 3 inches. The cakes will spread and icing will break on top like macaroons. Oven must be moderate. Should icing not break we'll, add more cream of tartar. A little experimenting will make the prettiest cookies ever made.

 mings Adapted to Tall, Slender Women
 and to Stout Women.
 The skirt is an important feature of a lady's dress. It must not only be cut after perfect pattern, but must be made so as to hang just right. Then, too, there are skirts for stout women and skirts for slender ones; skirts for heavy materials and skirts for soft, clinging fabrics. The wise woman considers all these matters when selecting pattern for her own dress skirts.
 The skirts of the present season, while hanging in fuller plaits at the back, dc not stand out so much at the sides as they did in the spring. They are slight

ly eased into the waist, and one model has three gores at the back that hang each in a box plait. The gored bell skirt is favorite for dresses in crepon silk and similar fabrics. This skirt con- sists of front and three gores. The seam, where it fastens at the back, is cut on the cross, while the center of each breadth runs straight. This causes striped material to make vandykes at the seams. The hem is interlined with either coarse muslin, crinolinette or can vas. In silk this skirt takes eight yards and measures round the hem about 4 yards.
 While the skirts of some dresses are elaborately trimmed, others are quite plain. Some gowns are made with over skirts; others have long overskirt simu- lated by cutting the dress material into points outlined by a heavy row of braid. Underneath is placed facing of velvet, which forms the foot of the skirt. Slen-
