CHAPTER v.

It will be remembered that Muncey
with fleet horse had probably an
hours start of his pursuers, possibly
more, that he had dropped in at the
old post long enough to give them
warning, and then had ridden away for
Kelly's. "Just as quick Us I've warned
the old man I'll come back to you," he
called to Lieut.. Crane, who had
thanked him somewhat inadequateiy
for the service rendered. Crane shared
the universal suspicion, perhaps, and
disbelieved Muncsy's report on general
principles. Muncey was squirting off
when Crane hailed him: "You must
have met Leon mile or so out. Didn't
you turn him baclr?" And Muncey
whirled around in saddle, evidently
astonished and for moment confused.
"Lconl Never saw nothin' of him
or L4ybody," / he muttered. "Never
knew he was back here--at least-er-
didn't know it until heard rumor
of it tonight" Evidently 1t wouldn't
do for Mr.. Muncey to tell that lie, as it
would soon be known how they had
been talking but few hours before Of
Icons return. "How'd you come to let
him go?" he queried, turning about
again and apparently forgetting his
urgent mission to Kelly's.

whats gone wrong? Where are the
rest, corporal?" queries Turner, riding
eagerly to meet the coming trooper.
Patches, sir-ran off Kelly's mules
and killed his herder and tackled the
ranch at dawn. They skipped away up
the canyon, and the lieutenant's after
them with ten men. He said he knew
the captain would be coming as soon as
the signal was seen. They fired on US,
too, sir, but didn't harm anybody. Six
of us were left to look after the women

"All safe, sir, but pretty badly
scared. They must have had close

leave it last night and Mrs. Kelly
wouldn't leave him, but"
"Then if you're all safe at the post
we'll go right on to Kelly's," said
Turner, impatiently. Assemble on the
right skirmisher!" he shouted to the
fighting line. "Sound the trot, trpm
peter!" and away he went with his or

Emperor Napoleon, after one of his
great battles, gathered the remnants
of his forces around him, and proceed
ed to compliment them in his charac-
teristic manner, so endearing to the
hearts of his soldiers. Finally, Com
pany D of the Guards, who had been
in the thick of the fight, were ordered
to present themselves, and to the as
tonishment of the emperor single sol
dier appeared, He was bound up in
bandages and could hardly walk.
"Wherc is the rest of your company?'
asked the emperor. A tear welled in
the old soldiers eye as he answered;
Your majesty, they lie on the field
dead" and then sorrowfully added,
"they fought better than I."-Harpcr's

point where the right Of the line had
just reached the timber.
, But Thornton fingered. "How's Mrs.
Downey? Did she get her medicine?"
he asked, uneasily.
MRS. Downey's better since the Indi-
ans skipped, sir; but don't know of
her getting any other medicine"
didn't Leon get back?"
"Not here, sir. He may be up at Kel-
ly's. We didn't suppose he'd attempt
to come back after Ferguson and the
other fellers got in here last night
chasing old Muncey. They must have
run foul of this very band, sir. Muncey
rode in all by himself, he said, to warn
us and Kelly's people, and was then
going"
"Never mind him. l hope the Apaches
have got him. You are sure Leon never
got back"
"Sure, sir. We never knew he'd left
YOU" And then Thornton turned and
rode hard to the ranch. There stood the
old sergeant, mopping his red face and
modestly receiving Turner's congratu
lations on the pluclSy fight he made ir
defense of his home; but the light went
out of Kellys eyes when the major burst
forth with:
Sergeant, is Leon with you? Did hc
reach you in time?"
/ Leon, sir? / haven't seen or heart
of him since yesterday. l thought hi
was with the women and children dowr

"Queer," says Thornton. Not sign,
yet they must have seen us coming.
Look out for every clump of trees or
bush ahead there, Turner. Since last
nights experience sniff an Indian in
every twig." Turner only mods grimly
in reply. All along the skirnish line
the carbines are advanced, the men
peering eagerly into the thickets
ahead of them. The road itself winds
through the low bottom and enters the
stream at gravelly bend opposite the
walls of the old quartermasters corral,
but that is couple OF hundred yards
further to the south now. Turner is
aiming to reach the open ground mid
way between Kellv's and the post, and
thereby be enabled most promptly to
leud aid to either. Ii the Tontos are
in strong force and lurking in the tim
ber to give him hot welcome, then the
fight will be hand to hand, and that's
what he wants. If, on the contrary,
they are too weak to match him, then
there is little hope of netting punish
ment, for in his own hands the Apache
can only be thrashed when thoroughly
surprised, and one might almost as well
hope to catch a weasel asleep. One

AN EARTHQUAKE.
Description of Ono That Convulsed the
City of Mexico.

Description of Ono That Convulsed the
City of Mexico.
Writing from the City Of Mexico to
the Boston Herald, Mr.. F. r. Guernsey
describes some of the queer sensations
associated with the severe earthquake
that disturbed that city: There is moth
ing enjoyable in an earthquake; the
sensation of wobbling earth-crust is
destructive to ones notions of what a
well-made and orderly planet ought
to be.
To see ones walls swaying to and
fro, to hear the pictures Tapping
against the walls, to see telephone
cables swinging like clothes-line of a
Monday morning on Cape Cod, and to
note the electric light poles dancing a
jig, all this is disquieting, and con-
tributes to sudden giddiness and q
squeamish sensation at the stomach.
In fact, the deadly faint and sick
feelirg in the digestive apparatus is
what one notices first of all in an earth
quake, and having now had an cxten-
sive experience in these affairs, al
ways, on feeling giddy and faint, look
around to see if hanging lamps are not
flying to and fro, and things generally
dancing.
To cap the climax, the electric lights
were extinguished, owing to the dYpa-
mos getting out gearing with the force
of the shock, so that the crowds kneel-
ing in the streets felt pail of thick
darkness enshrouding them, and re-
doubled their entreaties to heaven.
Horses drawing coaches fell to the
ground unable to sustain themselves
on their feet, and the mules of the
street cars simultaneously spread their
legs and refused TO go on. Water was
hurled out Of fountains, and in some
eases, great iron receptacles OF water
on the roofs of houses came crashing
down into courtyards with terrifying
and thunderous crash!
1t was the night of El Dia dc los
Muertos-All Souls day, when people
go out to the cemeteries to light can

renew sad memories.
Vast crowds were returning at tho
hour of the shock, and with their mind.

The most eminent specialists in
insanity and nervous degeneracy and
IN morbid and criminal hereditary
have thrown the light of their science
upon the question with this conclu-
sion-that "what is common to ouI
whole modern civilization is the con-
stantly increasing influence OF
alcohol over the development of the
western races of mankind" And
from this point of view they truly
say the question SURPRISES in inter
est and Importance the mere repres-
sion of ignoble and misery breeding
drunkenness; it passes from the
domain of sociology into that of
pathology, and is quite comparable
to the spread of cancer or tuber-
culosis-with which, indeed, it is not
without connection-or better still
with the increase Of idiocy and semi
irresponsible crime"
DIR. Pierret, head physician of the
hospital for mental diseases at Brou,
recently enlightened a large audi
ence in Lyons on the peculiar char
acter of the Unconscious alcoholic"
This is the person who never really
gets drunk, but who, while consum-
ing only what he imagines to be a
moderate amount, daily exceeds "the
dose of spirituous liquor which the
organism can safely tolerate" "The
common result of this unconscious
excess" he says, sis a successive
getting out of order Of the vital
organs, stomach, liver, kidneys, fol
lowed regularly by mental and
moral disorders" But the worst
effect of this alcoholism is found in
the children Of its victims. "These
are sometimes intelligent, but they
are always unbalanced and impulsive,
often tuberculOus, epileptic or i'm
beetle and without physical resist
Rnce."
alcoholism" says DIR. L8ncereany,
another high authority, creates
special race as well from the point of
view of the intellectual faculties as
from that Of physical characteristics.
This race may continue for time
with all its infrmities and vicious
tendencies, but luckily it is wanting
in the strength to perpetuate itself.
Exposed to all sorts of accidents and
diseases, given over to impotence
and steriIity it soon disappears.
This question OF alcoholic hereditary
is Of the highest Importance. It de-
mands all the attention of Legislators,
who, by negelectipg it, would incur
the gravest responsibility. When
nations can be induced to give as
much attention to applying the laws
of hereditary in the preservation and |
development of the human species as
they now do In the improvement of |
their horses and cattle and other |
live stock" the humiliation of the |
liquor traffic will be an accomplished |
fact.-Y. w. G. T. u.
