Long before Turner and Kelly could
'"sight" a single Apache, the Apaches
had caught sight Of them. Darting from
rock to rock, Sinking from tree to tree,
away sped the 1.-THE, sincwy fellows out
of rife range. Only few long dis
tance or random shots were exchanged
! between Turner and the invisible scat
tering foe, and Cranes fellows, sending
up stentorian cheers from the stream
bed below, drowned for the moment
the roar of the waters. Throwing out
some keen shots as slzirmishers to pre-
vent the reappearance of the Indians,
Thorntonand his troop leader signaled
Crane to fall back to a point where
the Sandy flowed in smooth tran
quill reach for a hundred yards
or SO, and there, one side climbing
down the heights, the other climbing
up, the officers were able to compare
notes. The first question was as to
Cranes losses, Several horses killed,
three abandoned and two mcn wounded.
'.But," said he, they've cleaned out
some Mexican outfit mile up stream.
We almost caught them at it," And
so, leaving the wounded with the guard
and attendants to make the best Of
their way back to the old post, the two
!. commands again pushed on up stream,
Crane on the lower and Thornton fol-
lowing the upper trail, both parties in
single file. Turner kept the front well
covered by few siirrnishers. Half
an hours march brought them around
a wooded point, and there deep down
in the gorge, just at the spot where
Sanchez camped that lucllless night
two years before, under the burning
blue of the midsummer skies, lay the
wreck of another "outft." Flood and
fury had scattered the possessions of
the former party broadcast down the
canyon. Fire and flame and Tonic
bullet or barb had huddled those of the
second into blaclsened, hideous heap.
Crane had followed, in very truth, the
trail of the raiders at Kelly's ranch,
but the murderers of the lucl1less Bust
iamente were his own countrymen-the
robbers of Kelly's corral were Manuel
Cardoza and the genial Muncey. Here
were the stiffening carcasses of the old
sergeant's pets; here the half dozen
pack mules, packs and all; here the
Imutilated remains Of the poor devils
whom Cardoza had abandoned, for up
the canyon went the shod hoof tracks
of American horses. Overtaken by
Apaches, two well mounted leaders had
left their humble followers to fight it
out as best they could, and who could
be the cowardly pair but Muncey and
Cardoza?
Distinguishing the smoldering fires,
gathering up such contents of the sad
die bags and apparejoes as were un-
damaged by the flames, Cranes party,

the pioneer of its kind, had not then
been strung across the Mohave desert,
and all communication between Ari-
zona and the nearest telegraph sta
tion-Drum Barracks, at Wilmington,
on the California coast-was by courier
or blackboard, and it was here, instead
of in Arizona, that for a time the de-
partment commanders had been al
lowed to establish their Office. 1t was
here that the news of the revolt at the
reservation was received by the new
commander; here that he wired to Gull
len and received his reply; here, few
DAYS later, that there was brought to
him the tidings of the general uprising.
Unlike his predecessors, the new gem
eral commanding this remote field de-
cided that the place from which to di-
rect operations was not Drum Barracks,
several hundred miles from the scene,
but the heart of the Indian country,
and thither he went fast as "buckboard'
could bear him.
"Tell Cullen he'll find mo somewhere
in the Sandy valley or Tonto basin, " he
said to his adjutant general as he drove
away, and this message was placed in
Cullen's hands, as, with his silent and
devoted wife by his side, and Randy
looking eagerly into his face, he was
borne swiftly over the dancing waters.
"That means that the general expects
them to leave the mountains and raid
the mines and settlements" said he
refectively. whats the first stage OF

days before even that impatient soldier
thought it possible.
Then, after refreshing bath and
few hours rest in the generals own big
ambulance, and escorted now by wary
troopers, away they went for the valley
of the Sandy. Everything indicated,
said the chief, that the Indians after
wiping out the Santa Anita settlements,
had swooped upon the lower valley
while the garrison at Retribution was
in its state of transition, and very prob
ably they had made il lively for Thorn
ton. Couriers had rushed to Col. Pei
ham at Camp Sandy with orders to send
strong columns southwark at once, one
of them following the valley to meet
the general at the fords just above
Apache canyon.
Away sped their strong six-mule team
down through the fertile Hassayampa,
across to the broad valley of Willow
creek, changing mules and escort at the
mountain ranch and getting all man
ner of startlingnews and rumors on the
way. Away at last for the Sandy, pass
ing early in the afternoon, while Ran
dy was doing in his corner, the foam
covered, dust-begrimed pair, Muncey
and Cardoza-"too badly stampeded to
stop and talk" said the sergeant COM
manding the escort, but shouting that
they alone had escaped"
"We should reach Retribution by
midnight" said the general. "And
just won't l hunt up Leon and wake
him and hug him the moment get
there, and won't he be amazed?" said
Randall, joyfully.

In few hours" sang out the major
from across the stream. "Weve got to
come back for something to eat soon,
as we scout to the north side, and If

added Thornton to himself, as he slow
ly remounted, ''it's too complicated

And so by noon that sultry and long
remembered day, after burying the
murdered Mexicans under cairns of
stones, Crane and his wearied men
(were jogging back within hail Of Signal
Butte, while Maj. Thornton, with
Turner and some twenty hungry troop
ers, pushed northward, determined to
scout the Socorro to the Prescott road.
Turner still kept his slrirmishers ahead.
There was no telling where the In
dians might open on them from rock
or precipice or tree. Kelly, raging in
his heart to think that he had lost his
mules and herdsman through such
lscoundrels as Muncey and Cardoza, at

with whose Judgment and fore

The Dangerous Privilege OF q German
Centenerian.
The following story of German
Diogenes is perfectly authentic. When
King Frederick William ~. visited the
Rhine provinces, in the year 1s43, he
made a short stay at Wesel, where he
called at the house of the oldest man in
his kingdom, aged one hundred and
six years, He found him comfortably
seated in an old armchair, smoking u
pipe-his inseparable companion. On
the kings arrival, he rose to his feet
and stepped forward few PAGES, but
his majesty made him sit down again
and talked to him with the greatest
freedom, the old man putting away at
his pipe all the time. When about to
leave, the king asked him if he had any
wish that it was in his power to crafty.
"No, thanks, your majesty, l have all
I want in this world" was the reply.
"Really! Just think for moment;
we mortals have generally some partic-
ular desire or aspiration"
"Well, sire, now come to think Of
it, might have favor to ask. My
doctor insists on my taking walk
every day on the ramparts. Every time
l pass the powder magazine the sentry
shouts to me from afar: Take that
pipe out Of your mouth, and as walk
very slowly my pipe goes out every
time. Now, if your majesty would be
good enough to order the sentry to let
me smoke my pipe in peace all the way,
should consider it the greatest kind
ness you could confer on me for the
rest of my natural life"
The order was given, and the old fel
low enjoyed the privilege for more thar
two years and died at last with the pipe
in his mouth. Buffalo Christian.

The following old story of the late
Richard Vaux is worth reviving. Late
in the thirties Mr.. Vaux attended a mu-
sicale at the house of a noble patrOness
of the arts in Dublin, and there met the
immortal Tom Moore. The poet sang q
number of his melodies, accompanying
himself Oh the piano. Afterward Mr..
Vaux was presented to the poet. "He
shook me warmly by the hand" said
Mr.. Vaux, in telling the story, "and,
without relinquishing his grasp, took
me to sofa, where we sat together.
SO, Mr.. Vaux, you are from the
United States?' said the poet. Pray tell
me from which one of your sovereign

The little town of Bordighera, in
Italy, has furnished the Easter palms at
Rome since the year 1856. How the
grant was obtained by Bresca, the brave
old sea captain, is curious story.
Standing with the crowd in the open
he was gazing with breathless interest
at the workmen engaged in erecting the
Egyptian obelisk. So momentous and
difficult task was this regarded that
Pope Sixtus V forbade any one to utter
loud word during the operation on
pain of death.
All went we'll until the massive stone
column reached a certain angle, when,
to the horror of the multitude and the
despair of the engineer, it ceased to
move. Various expedients were resorted
to, without avail, and all seemed lost,
when suddenly voice broke the silence,
crying:
'Aiga Dali de laiga ae corded"
("Water. Give water to the ropesPo
This suggestion, which came from the
old sailor, was quickly acted upon. The
obelisk slowly righted itself and was
successfully raised to the position it
now occupies.
When the trembling Bresca was
brought prisoner before the pope for
punishment, the latter not only par
doned the offense, but offered to grant
him any reasonable request. The un-
selfish soul of the man showed itself
when, instead of petitioning for some
personal preferment, he begged that the
right Of furnishing the palms for Easter
should be bestowed upon his family
sand the villagers of Bordighera. his
birthplace. The request was granted
and is respected to this day. Dumb

1.-THE MODEL WIFE"
Rev. DIR. W. F. Hammer Says That she Is
Not the Voting Woman.

Rev. DIR. W. F. Hammer Says That She Is
i Not the Voting Woman.
Rev. DR.. W. F. Hammer preached at
st. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church
South in Baltimore, Sunday night,
June End, upon 1.-THE Model Wife" He
said in part:
God so ordered social life that wo-
man must occupy the most exalted
stituted woman that she is in every
way suited to these positions, and He
invested her with wondrous influence
over the life of the world.
| She stands with all this divinely
given power at the turning points of
human destiny. She touches life at
its beginning and in the loftiest ideals
she is mans trusted confidante. She
must sustain the same relation to the
| home tt at the visible church does to
| the Kingdom of God The nation or
| individual that fails to recognize her
in this divine order must be arrayed
against God and inevitably go down.
THE crying need of this age is for
consecrated wives and mothers. Solo
mon painted a word picture of just
such a wife as every home is entitled
to in the thirty first chapter of Prov
cribs, She is pure, strong, spirited,
resolute woman. The home is the
centre and throne of her influence.
Her husbands heart doth safely trust
her. His confidence is the foundation
of the perpetuity, happiness and pros
perity of the home.
1.-THE husband may fall and be lifted
up and restored to the home, but when
the wife falls the home goes down with
h RI nj
man from poverty, from degradation
be plunged save one, and that is the
loss of confidence in his home. When
that awful pit yawns he sinks forever,
so far as this world goes.
THE surest way for noble woman to
influence the halls of legislation is to
stick to the throne God placed her on.
She has lost her power of late in some
degree in the councils of State because
she has released her hold on the cradle.
One pure, model wife or mother can
WELD a greater influence in,this nation
by and through her trusting husband
or boy than all the office holding, vot-
ing women of the world. Those mis-
guided women who surrender home for
the ballot box remind me of the man
that let go the bridle-reins and seized
the horses tail to guide him.
1.-The world needs a record written
by mothers of their experience in
training children. Some of the richest
discoveries of Gods wonderful grace
are under the eyes of mother. This
world would be the sadder for the loss
of that love which the care of depend
ent, suffering infancy alone can de
velop, and develop only in mother,
but l fear this development is too
much by proxy. Our women divide
their time between cards, punch bowls,
bathrooms, the follies of social fads,
their children, husbands, &c. Alas for
this the best age of the world that its
closing decades should be clouded by
maternal neglect.
"a model wife looks we'll to the ways
of her household. The bravest. the
truest, the noblest of earth are the un-
crowned queens who reign in the hearts
of their husbands, and over all the
sphere of their lives solely by and
through love-"

" omen and Men.
From Harper's Bazaar.

Looking out from the window on any
of our city squares one sees swarm of
flies or midges circling in the air. Then,
looking down upon the pavement, one
sees a similar swarm of human beings,
less numerous than the winged crea-
lures, but equally active, each speeding
between two wheels with a swiftness
that reminds the beholder of that mys
FERROUS life within the VIII eels'' as
seen by the Hebrew prophet in his
mighty vision. The marvel is that day
by day this human swarm increases;
there are perccptibly, one would say,
more bicycles visible on Tuesday than
on Monday, on Wednesday than on
Tuesday; and the number that will
have accumulated by Saturday or Sun
day next battles the Imagination. All
the factories are SO overburdened with
orders that they can only promise for a
month or two in advance, and perhaps
fail in their promises. The bicycle levels
all social distinction; the fine lady quits
her carriage and her footmr n, and
leaves them staring after her while she
propels herself; and, on the other hand,
the bicycle effects practical lowering
of rent to the journeyman mechanic,
because it enables him to live farther
from his daily work. 1t is an essential
chapter in the emancipation of women;
enlarges her horizon and abbreviates
her garments. In some parts of the
nation horses still do a part of the same
office, bnt the days journey of horse
is as nothing beside that of the bicycle,
and horse is, as the late DR.. Holmes
said, "a profigate ANIMAL" by reason
of the expense of keeping him in cities.
Even in point of danger the horse is
far more perilous; the worst that can
happen to machine is to upset and
cease motion, whereas it is when Il
horse is overthrow that he becomes
most dangerous. Indeed, the competi-
ton is SO formidable that one can
hardly demur at the caricaturc in the
comic paper which represents the dis
appointed animal as looking malig
nantly at the inanimate rival who is
driving him cut of business.

A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is COMPOUNDED by many
persons with severe attack of catarrh
which in some respects resembles the
former. These individuals suffer
severely with pain about the forehead
eyes and ears, with soreness in throa
and stoppage of the nasal passages
and in fact, are incapacitated for worl
of any kind for days at time. These
are catarrhal sufferers. Ely's Cream
Balm has been used with the best re
suits in such cases. The remedy will

For the SPECTATOR.
MORNING MIST.

Written among the Virginia hills.l
August %, 1894.
Young Morn treads lightly Ger the hills,
With starry eyes.
Her presence all the darkness fills,
That, fainting, flies.
The world lies waiting at her feet
In quick suspense,
And all his being seems to beat
With pulse intense.
Her foot bedimS the silver dew,
That, kissing, dies;
Her bosom's dainty, rosebud hue
EmbloomS the skies.
Her softly taken breath but stirs
A dreamy cloud,
And moves the Stately-Standing mrs
To homage proud.
About her floats in gauZy folds
A garment fine.
A CLINT of sunny beams it holds
And white moonShihe.
Diaphanous, it trails and fees
Half shadow-fraught
Aid broideringi its hem are trees
All dimly wrought.
A thought is strongest half-eXpressed,
Where fancy Grapes
On Rembrandt background where is guess
What eye escapes.
Thou, Morning, with thy miSt-veiled grace
Art fairer far
Than if we saw thy radiant face
With naught to bar.
o pensive Morn, thy misty dress
Thee well beSeemS;
For thou hast all thy loneliness,
And we-our dreams.

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to get 90 and Perhaps Make

fortune.
We secure patents and to induce people to
keep track of their bright ideas we offer a
prize of one hundred dollars to be paid on the
first of every month to the person who sub
n'itS to US the most meritOriOuSi INVENTION du-
ring the preceding month. We will also ad-
vert1Se the invention free of charge in the
National Recorder. a weekly newspaper, pub
l1shed in Washington. ID. c., which has an ex-
tenSive circulation throughout the United
States and is devoted to the interests of inven-
tors.
NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent some thing
strikes most people as being very difficult
this delusion the Company wishes to dispel. II
is the simple things and small inventions that
make the greatest amount of money and the
complex ones are seldom profitable. Almost
everybody, at some time or another conceives
an idea, which, if patented, would probably be
worth to him a fortune. Unfortunately such
ideas are usually dismissed without thought.
The simple inventions like the car window
which could be easily slid up and down with
out breaking the passengers back, the sauce
pan, the collar button, the nut lock, the bottle
stopper, the snow shovel, are things that al
most everyone sees some way of Improving
upon, and 1t is these kind of inventions that
bring the greatest returns to the author.
The prize we offer Will be paid at the end OF
each month, whether the application has been
acted upon by the Patent Office or not. Every
competitor must apply for patent on his in
ventiOn through US, and whether he secures
the prize or not, the inventor will have valu-
able patent.
