the Union blue shot into sight in the
full glare of the flames, sprang from
his foaming steed, waving his hat and
yelling:
All right! All safe, lads! Here
we are!"
Down went Harvey rifle as he leaped
out into the blessed air to greet the
coming host. Down went Feeny's car
bine as, with o~utstretched hand, he
sprang to grasp his comrade troopers.
With rush and thunder of hoofs a band
of horsemen came tearing upto the spot
Just as Feeny reached their leader

stunned, senseless from a crashing
blow, even as Ned Harvey, his legs
ierked from under him by the sudden
clip of a rawhide lariat. was dragged
at racing speed ont over the plain,
humping over stick and stone, tearing
through cactus, screaming with rage
and pain, until finally, battered into
oblivion, the last sound that fell upon
his ear was the shrek of agony from
his sisters lips, telling him they were
struggling in the rude grasp OF reckless
and lnfuriated men.

Even brain muddled Mullan felt a
maudlir impulse to cheer at Feeny's
enthusiastic answer. Even poor old
Plummer gave a half stihed cry. Pos
sibly he dreamed that rescue was at
hand, but there was little time for re-
joicing. Springing back whence he
came, the unseen emissary was heard
shouting some order to his fellows. The
next instant the rifles began their crack
ing on both sides, and the bullets, with
furious spat, drove deep into the adobe
or whizzed through the gunnysacks
into the barley. The unseen foe was
once more investing them ca every side
and not a shot could be wasted in re-
turn.
Once o the furious crackle and
roar of the flames were heard close at
hand, and then the smoke grew thicker,
the heat increased, and poor Ned Har-
vey, his eyes smarting, knelt, steadfast,
at his post and prayed-prayed for the
coming of rescue, for the return of the
loved father. all the gallant troop at his
back-and then, even as though in an
swer to his prayer, there came a sudden
lull in the fight.

CHAPTER VI.

Harvey could not long have lain IN
conscious. No bones were broken, no
severe conclusion sustained in the rapid
drag over the sandy surface, and the
awful sense Of the calamity that had
befallen hlm and the dread and doubt
as to the fate Of his beloved ones seemed
to rally his stunned and bewildered fac
ulties and bring him face to face with
the horror of the situation. Barely able
to breathe, he found himself rudely
gagged. Striving to raise his hand
to tear the hateful bandage away, he
found that he was pinioned by the ell
bows and bound hand and foot by the
very RATA probably that had dragged
him thither. No doubt as to the ma
tionality of his unseen captors here.
The skill with which he had been
looped, tripped, whisked away and
bound-the sharp, biting edges, even the
odor of dirty rawhide rope-all told
him that, though Americans were not
lacking in the gang, his immediate an
tagonists hailed from across the Sonora
line. Who and what they were mat
tered little, however. The fact that
after hours Of repulse in open attack
the foe had al on a sudden carried their
castle by a damnable ruse was only too
forcibly apparent. Writing, struggling
In miserable effort to free himself from
his bonds, poor Harvey's burning eyes
were maddened by the picture before
him only a couple Of hundred yards
away.
There in the fierce light Of the flames
now bursting from every window and
roaring and shooting high in air from
the brush heaped roof Of Moreno's
ranch-there stood the Concord wagon,
stalwart men clinging to the heads OF
the plunging and excited mules, a big
rufian already in the drivers seat,
whip and reins in hand; there beside
it was the ~paymaster's ambulance, into
which three Of the gang were just SHOW

ing by his side, the lieutenant sought
anxiously fof trace Of blade OF bullet.
Rents there were many and many a
bloody scratch and tear, but, to his in
finite relief, no serious wound appeared.
Still in deep swoon, his friend seemed
to resist every effort for his restora-
ton. The dash of water in his face
was answered only by a faint shiyer-
ing sigh. The thimbleful of whisky
forced between his lips only gurgled
down his throat, and D1ummond felt
no responsive. futter Of palse. The
shock to his system must indeed have
been great, for Harvey lay like n in
a trence. Drummond feared that he
might never again open his eyes to
light and home.
And then the weary troop came trot-
ting into view, old Sergeant Meinecke
in command. Hating and dismount-
ing at his signal, the 1ncn stood silent
and wondering at their horses heads,
while their leader went in to report to
his commander.
Drummond barely lifted his eyes from
the pallid features before him.

lowing the freshest hoof tracks, he
found the young officer riding about
through the thick smoke within the
corral.
ANY sign Of Moreno or his people,
sir?" he hailed.
"Not yet. Just see what's beyond
that doorway. My horse is frightened
at something there and I can't SEQ fol
the smoke"
Obedient, the sergeant pushed ahead,
bending low to avoid the sitting fumes.
Between the tumbledown heap Of bar
ley sacks and the crumbling wall lay
some writing objects in the sand, and
his stout heart almost failed him at the
moan Of agony that'.met his cal.
''Help! waterl Oh, for Christ's sake,
water!!"
One bound carried him out Of sight
Of his superior. The next instant,
dragging by the foot a PROSTATE form,
he emerged from the bank into the
fresher air Of the center of the corral.
OFF came his canteen and was held to
the parched lips If a stranger in scorch-
ed civilian dress, his beard and hair
singed by the flames, his legs and arms
securely bound.
"Who are you and what's happened
Whose work is this?" demanded the
lieutenant, leaping from saddle to his
side. The man seemed swooning away,
but the sergeant dashed water in his
face.
"Quicki-the others!-or they'll
burn to death"

after what must have seemed an age,
vet could not have been ove 80 min
utes from the time of their arrival, a
soldier running in said he could hear
hoofs out on the plain, and at the same
instant two men appeared Juggling be-
tween them, bleeding and seaseless,
the ragged form of Edward Harvey.
Scratched, torn, covered with blood
and bruises and still unconscious though
he was, Drum,nond knew him at i
glance. They had met the previous
year, and though only once it was
enough. Men with young and lovely
sisters are not soon forgotten. Kneel-

His Wife's Name.

An old farmer, intent on making his
will, was asked by a lawyer the name
of his wife, when he gravely replied:
s.Well, indeed, I really don't recollect
what it is. We've been married for up
ward Of 40 years, andI'ye always called
her my old woman" The lawyer left
a blank to be filed up when his old
woman's name was ascertained.-New
