CHAPTER II.

Cf1AFlER IL.
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 pure
pallid light shining family in contrast
with the ruddy glow of some distant
beacon in the mountains beneath. Ever
since nigktfall the rock buttress at the
pass had been rejecting the lurid glare
of the lsaping flames as, time and
again, unseen but busy hands heaped
on fresh fuel and sent the sparks whirl-
ing in fiery eddies to the sky. Languid
and depressed after long days bat
thing with the fierce white ssa1slfnes
horses and men would gladly have spent
the early hours of night doing at their
rude bivouac in the Christobal. Ever
since y 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
canyon and thanking providence it was
not alkali.
The lieutenant commanding, tall,
wiry, keenfaced young fellow, had made
the rounds of his camp at sunset, care
fully picking up and scrutinizing the
feet of his horses and sending the far
rier to tack on here and there starting
shoe. Gaunt and sunburned were his
short coupled California chargers, as
were their toughlooking riders; fetlocks
and boards were uniformly ragged;
shoes of leather and shoes of iron
showed equal wear. A bronze faced
sergeant, silently following 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 before
the dawn.
How far did you say it was to Ger
alvo's, sergeant p
About % miles, west.''
And to Moreno ?''
About Is, sir; off here" And the
sergeant pointed out across the plain,
lying like duncolored blanket far
toward the southern horizon.

Plenty, sir.''
The men would rather wait here,
I suppose, until 2 or o'clock?''
''Very much, sir; they haven't been
able to rest at all today. I've fed out
the last of the barley, though
The lieutenant reflected moment,
pensively studying the legs of the trum-
peters horse.
lis there any chance of Moreno's g
people not having heard about the
Apaches in the Christobal?''
Hardly, sir; they are nearer the Tue
son road than we are. The stage must
have gone through this morning early.
It's nothing new anyhow. I've never
known the time when the Indians were
not in the neighborhood of that range.
Moreno, too, is an old hand, sir.''
The lieutenant looked long and in
tently out over the dreary flats beyond
the foot hills. Like the bottom of some
prehistoric lake long since sucked dry
by the action of the. sun, the parched
earth stretched away in mile after mile
Of monotonous, life ridden desert, Sa-
hara without sign of an oasis, sandy
barren Stunned even by scorpion and
centipede. Already the glow was dy-
ing from the western sky. The red rim
Of the distant range was purpling. The

full Set of eighteen mum bers and rs cents

views are explained in an entertaining
way by the famous descriptive writer,
j. w. Buel.
The volumes are the projections Of
the cylinders art. There are two

belished in gold upon the front; the

that he could be without work Of this
nature, and 1.-THE Magic City" is the

CITIZENS FAVOR THE PROJECT.

1t is Very Probable That n Young Mems
Business League VIII be Formed Hero.
The editorial reference in Thursdays
TIMES relative to the necessity of organ
izing in this city young mems bust
ness league seems to have met with
very favorable comment and from such
conversations as could be obtained yes
terday and the day previous it is ap-
parent that there are very good pros
poets Of perfecting such an organization
in Roanoke.
While it was the general opinion that
such an organization should in no wise
interfere with the work to be done by
the present board of trade, it was be-
lieved that a young mems association
could be formed TO enter more actively
into the affairs Of this city and with
young and energetic blood could be
made to accomplish many beneficial
results in the future.
1t was generally conceded that now
was the most appropriate time that
could be selected for such movement
to be started, and while 1t would natur-
ally have to be conducted on con-
servative and economical basis it was
maintained that If Roanoke was to be-
come anything more than o city of 90
600 inhabitants that 1t was time some
action was being taken by its citizens
to increase its population and tho num-
Der OF its industries.

RoANokE's right to recognition as the
meeting place of the next Democratic
Congressional convention was acceded
to unanimously. 1t remains now for
the city to show that no confidence
was misplaced by the decision of the
Sixth district committee We feel
confident that we can entertain the
delega. es in q creditable manner and
in the end turn up good ma
jority for the candidate selected.
By the way, it is now time for the Dem
ocrats to come TO some decision as to
who the candidate shall be from this
section who shall then como up for the
honor of nomination. AS Roanoke
was in the race for the selection of this
city for the entertainment of the con-
vention, so, too, is it in the field with
man to run for the prize to be awarded.
We cannot refrain from expressing
the qualification that should be felt
generally that the suggestions outlined
by the committee on resolu tions of the
Southern Interstate immigration and
Industrial Congress should be of such
practical nature and so propitious of
good results. While the resolutions are
ostensibly in the form OF mere sugges-
lions it is evidently the intention Of the
congress to become something moro
than suggestive body inasmuch as it
has taken steps towards carrying out
some OF the work outlined. The con-
gress is to be, in fact, permanent in
stitution with active committees to
perfect such arrangements as were
thought best to promote this work.
Unfortunately Roanoke city was not
represented at this important meeting,
but it can assist in the lines suggested
and if the people CT this section will SO
interest themselves in the plans can
undoubtedly share with all portions of
the South in the benefits 10 be reaped
from che future work OF this congress.
