CHAPTER II.-lConcluded)


And now came on a. night Of no little
excitement, even for Arizona, in the
heart of the Apache country. Full
three-quarters of an hour after Foster
and his men rode away there was
strange silence and eager waiting at
the post Taps had sounded just be-
fore they left. Half past ten o'clock,
called by the sentries, had gone echo
ing away across the still and starlit
mesa, and not a sound or sign came
from the front. Then suddenly, far
out drought the darkness, there was
family audible the tnud Of hoofs, and
a minute or so brought the rider. full

barely rein in his horse at the hail of
the majors party. Eveybody-officers,
civilians and even soldiers-seem to

troop. Recognizing the major he
threw himself from his saddle and
stood respectfully before the comman-
der, handing him a penciled note,
which the major eagerly opened and
read, all eyes upon him.
I'VE found two MeXicans," It said,

frightened, but unhurt They declare
they were attacked by Apaches, who
succeeded in running off two mules.

HOW no STUDY PROPERLY.


Study is like a dinner. The viands
must be well chosen and eaten slowly,
not devoured; then well turned over in
the mental stomach for while until
with ease and comfort they are per-
fectly digested and furnish further nu-
triment to the brain. Most students
study without thought. which is like
eating without digesting. Others read
merely as a fad and soon forget all they
have learned.
The most satisfactory method Of
study is the digestive. 1t is the thor
Ough one; the one chat gives strength
to the brain. Take the subject you are
studying. Read a few lines or a few
pages, as the case may be, then put
the book down and think on what you
have read. Turn it about in your mind
from every standpoint. Do not accept
it Immediately. Argue for and against
it in your mind. In other words, mas
ticate it. You need not be at your
leisure to do this. Do it in your walks,
in your idle moments, at any time.
When you have satisfied yourself on
the subject go on with a little more in
the same way. In a short time you will
find yourself more a thorough student
than if you had read all at a sitting
The best educated man in the end is the
man who learns slowly but surely.

all wasn't well with him, at least.
My orders are to take charge of this
post and all the government property
in view" he had begun when question
ed by the officer of the day, and as
Ferguson's horse wasn't government
property he might have wriggled out
his predicament under that head We're
there not other causes in his orders
which he knew as well as did the off
Ger of the day. One of these read:
ALLOW no horse to be taken out of the
corral between tattoo and reveilIe' ex-
cept in the presence of a commissioned
officer, the quarternaster sergeant or
the corporal of the guard, "and as Fer
guson's horse could neither have climb
ed nor jumped a nine foot high adobe
wall, the conclusion was irresistible
that he had been led or ridden out
through the gateway, and it was the
sentry's bushes to see and stop him.
There were still other orders bearing
on the case. The man Muncey must
have crossed the sentry's post both
when he entered and when he left the
corral, and the Sentry's orders forbade
has allowing any person to pass with
out the countersign-the password for
the night with which only a certain
few of the officers and guard were in
trusted. The post commander had per-
their horses and mules into the big
new corral, a privilege Of which they
had eagerly awaited themselves, but
the quartermaster sergeant and his
men who slept ordinarily in a tent
pitched just within the gateway had
not slept at all this night, but in COM
mon with those members of the garri-
son who were not actually in the ranks
awaiting orders were out somewhere
along the northward bluff watching
eagerly for further sign from the
front. The plain truth Of the matter
was that Casey, too, instead Of watch
ing the corral, kept as much as poss-
IDLE at the northward end of his post,
where he could see or hear what was
going on in that quarter And so it
happened that the corral was left prac-
ticaly unguarded, and Muncey had
been enabled to enter and quit at his
own sweet will
1t wouldn't help Casey to say he
didn't see or didn't hear. Schoolboy
excuses are not accepted in the army.

TErnm the NaLlOQal ReVleW.
One of the most provoking things
about this war was the way one had to
reluctantly leave ones food to the ten
der mercies of the fire on a sudden
alarm. 1t was heart-rending, after a
long and hungry march, to have to
rush away to your station empty, only
to return after the fight and find your
food burned to a cinder. 1t may easily
be guessed how wretched this makes
one when constantly repeated, as it
was on this particular march. The
enemy never left us alone. We became
perfect adopts in the art of concealing
the person. 1t is a fact that when once
we gained our stations on an attack
not man of us could be seen except
when he raised his head to fire. so close
did we lie, and this, no doubt, saved us
many casualties, though all Of us had
numerous narrow escapes. l had a
pipe cut in two. On a sudden alarm we
used to drop down just as we were,
smoking or not, and on this occasion 1

forgot all about 1T till a bullet knocked
it out.
The constant welt rained nearly
all the time during our return march,
i. e., twenty-one days-rotted our boots,
and we were reduced to tying leather
round our feet to protect them. In the
hurry and scurry of leaving camp, too,
one left overcoats, tunics, ETC., behind;
throwing them off in the heat of the
day, they got lost, and we arrived ulti-
mately at Buluwayo in rags
To show the care with which we hus-
banded our ammunition, 1 may men
ton that we had on an average thirty
rounds per man still left, though we
had started three weeks before with
only eighty, and had countless oppor-
tunities meanwhile of shooting it all
away. We never fired shot unless
we were dead on a Matabele, and
the natural consequence was that they
gradually became in mortal terror of
showing even a wisp of hair. To jump
up and rush US would have been their
-best-plan, and this we constantly heard
their Indunas calling on them to do.
Throw away your guns and take up
your assegais," was their constant ex-
hortation, but fortunately for US, they
hadn't the pluck to do it,
