'I'll go to him, sergeant" said the
lieutenant, rising and throwing on his
cape. "Has he said anything?"
Nothing, except that he wants to
see ell comandante immediatamente.''
The sergeant led the way to the first
cabin to the left, occupied by himself as
quarters and orderly room. Before the
entrance stood small, wiry mustang,
with saddle and bride of Mexican pat
tern, and upon the ground, resting on
soldiers mattress and pillow, lay q
boy of about 16 years. He was nearly as
dark as an Indian, and his glossy black
hair fell low over his shoulders. His
dress was made up of buckskin and
coarse flannel, and a sorry felt hat COW
cred his head. Dirty russell leather
botas, or CATERS, protected his calves.
The left leg Of his trousers had been
slit down tho thign by an intelligent
looking soldier who knelt by his side
skillfully adjusting ligature and com.
press above ragged gunshot wound.
''El comandante?" asked the boy as
the lieutenant approached and the men
opened way for him.

lieutenant, turning to the first sergeant,

and 40 rounds for immediate duty.

Then, turning to the soldier who waited
upon him, he added: "Cain, get my
horse ready, with my arms and field
glass, and tell Sergeant Cunningham to
include you in the number Of mounted
men. You can ride the Mexican pony"
The wounded boy was then taken into
vacant cabin that had been used from
time to time as a sicIroom, and an ex-
animation of the wound was made by
the soldier that had stanched the flow
of blood. The examination revealed
