openly flouted him when he came
among them, but the officers, unable
to prove anything, continued to show
courtesy to him even though they dis
liked him.
: Capt. Cullcn's troop marched away
from Retribution in April, '72, just
as soon as Capt. Raymond's of the --th
cavalry arrived, Mrs. Cullen and Randy
in the meantime having been sent
away by stage to the Colorado and
thence by steamer around to San Fran
cisco. This was long before railroads
were known in Arizona. But weeks be-
fore the departure of the troop there
arrived at the old post swarthy little
fellow from Tucson, who announced
himself as a brother Of the late Mrs.
MacNutt and as Icons uncle. lie had
come, he said, to take Leon back to his
mothers people in Sonora. He brought
letters from officials in Tucson which
established his claim and was fortified
in his statements by MacNutt's former
partner, the malodorous Muncey, who
came with him. The officers and the
men had no claim upon theboy other
/ than those of friendship and affection.
They were his rcscuors and supporters
that was all-but Leon was by this
time far more American than Mexican,
"far more Yank than Greaser," as the
men expressed it-and he not only
begged and prayed not to be taken
from them, but he kicked and scratched
and fought like young bear cub when
finally forced away.
Mrs. Cullen and Randy were spared
that scene. She had been ailing o little
as result of too long stay on the
flats of old Retribution and had been
taken up to the mountain perch Of
Prescott for change of air while the
packing for the move was going on,
Randall going with his mother, sorely
aggrieved because Leon was not in
cluded in the invitation sent by the
coloncl's wife. Capt. Cullen, probably,
was party to the arrangement. He
knew they could not keep Leon always,
and the longer the stay the harder the
parting. Less than week after Icons
friend and playmate had gone his un-
: Gle and partner appeared; less than a
fortnight and the poor little fellow was
pulled off the blackboard in the dusty
streets Of Tucson and turned over to q
Mexican packer for transportation to
Sonora, and less than month after the
Cullens and sc" troop had left the
post, haggard, h&lf starved, footsore
and in rags, little Leon reappeared at
old Retribution almost as utter q
stranger as when, half drowned, he
was borne thither in Sergt. Kelly's
arms eighteen months before.

ing May afternoon, when everybody
was seeking shelter within doors, and
the servants who came to answer his
timid knock looked askance at the little
blnck-eyed ragamuflin, and could only
say that the people he sought were
gone. He had turned away with q,
choking sob from the third door, the
big house where the major OF the
Eleventh cavalry used to live, not
knowing whittier now to go, and had
sunk down upon the steps in
utter desolation when he heard
through the screen Of the open window
n childish voice pleading: ut must be
Leon, mamma. Do let me call him,
back" And the next minute Haxen-
haired girl of ten was at his side. Leon
never could tell just how it all came
about. He remembered trying hard to
keep stiff upper lip and be brave and
self-controlled and tell his story calm
" and coherently, but he was weak,
starved, crushed with the bitterness OF
his disappointmcnts, and he broke
down entirely and sobbed in utter
abandonment, and there was no more
thought of siesta ct Capt. Fosters
quarters that afternoon. A plying,
sympathetic group surrounded the boy,
Mrs. Foster and her daughter Nellie
wing with one another in ministering
to his wants, and other kind women
coming in from adjoining quarters as
the story swiftly went the rounds. 1t
was all over the post in few hours

and friend, had escaped from the pack

This was about mid-June. blazing
hot and dry were the days and breeze
less the nights, a most unfavorable
time for travel to and fro across the
Arizona deserts, but Maj. Cullen was
losing not an hour. He was a man
who had seen much service among the
Apache Indians, knew their haunts
and habits, and was both feared and
trusted by them. No sooner was the
old regiment fairly out of Arizona, and
before the new one was fairly in, there
flew hurried dispatch to San Francis
co that was flashed on across the Sier-
ras and Rockies and caught the new
major at Omaha. In brief words it
told him that there was universal up
rising among the Apaches and asked
how soon he could return, as the gen.
.eral commanding held open for him an
important command. In twenty-four
hours the reply was at Drum barracks.
"Start this morning Expect NE By
25th."

A SONG OF SUMMER.


Midsummer MONTH royal June,
What days are thine of deep deuightl-
The golden morn, the golden moon!
And, ahl the crowning golden night!
A perfect verse with perfect rhyme
Each day is, dawn and close and prime.
The hours move on from love to love,
The glorious round is newer done;
The lark, a sun of song, above
Scars, singing TO his brother sun;
Anon his lyric tiltdng 6adls,
Then rouse the Romeo nightingares.
Now is high noon; in his green shade,
Among the roses let us lie,
Where, underneath brtery braid,
A Iow-voiced brooklet praldles by
Sending numerous crystal calls
From Thousand tiny waterfalls.
Dusk bumbce-bees, about the grass
(Anacreons of field and hil),
Drown with their droning doIlble-bass
The dragon flies sopruno shrill,
And small winds touch melodlous stops
In Whispering wood and murmurous
copse..
To music of this fair demesne,
o swn-ldsbed Hebe, young divine,
Pour, pour, ''tlhe blushful Hippocrene''-
The poets and the lovers wine
And o'er these flutes and G1aulUboys raise
A song Ito love and summer dhysl
A health 10 thee o royal June,
That queen of all THY sisters art!
A llellllth to love. THE worlds one boom
That makes midsummer in the heart!--
Sing, throalts; sound, pipes; ldt all folk
hear
How sweet is summer, love how dear!

CHINESE AND JAPANESE CoNPETI-
TION


Congressman Doolittle, Of Washington
who has just returned after an absence
Of two and al half months from that
state, In China and Japan, makes the fol.
lowing strong plea in the last number Oh
the American Economist for the main
tenance OF the policy OF protection to our
worlSlngmen against the ruinous competi-
tion that will commence In the near fu-
ture from the hordes OF half-starved la
borers In Aslas
From my observations In these coun-
tries. the need of protecting the laborers
of this country as against injurious COM
petition with these lands is made more
evident. The people of my state are most
injuriously affected by the abolition Of
protection on wool and lumber, and the
cutting down of the same on bituminous
Goals. We are brought thereby into direct
competition with the coal mines OF Brit
ish Columbia, as well as other countries
The humber Industry In British Column
bia is being bullded up through access,
afforded by the Wilson bill, to the worlds
greatest lumber market, which for the
last twenty-five years has been the Unit
ed States
AS you may be aware, forty billions of
dollars have been expended during the
last mentioned period, in building ma
terial, consisting principally of lumber,
In the United States. Under the protec-
tive policy OF the Republican party, this
lumber has been cut from American for
ests by American mills and the work has
been performed by American labor. Five
per cent Of the lumber output of our
mills has been sufficient to supply all
foreign countries and we have supplied
this demand by reason of being in the
humber business. Canadian forests have
been but little molested, for the reason
that they were not encouraged to COM
pete with our own people, to supply the
demands of the United States, and there
was no considerable incentive to the
building up of mills or the establishment |
OF this industry to supply the small for
eign need
And so 1t is along almost every line of
unbullded In the United States
from the wise policy Of protection. Labor
has been benefited immeasurably, wages
reaching the highest mark ever known
In the world. The intrinsic value of al
most every article produced has been on
account Of the labor expended In Its con-
struction. Never was there country In
the world whose legislation has been to
such an extent regardful OF the labor of
Its people. But now change has come
and labor and labor employing industries
suffer and langulsh.
/ wish representative people of all lines
Of industry might so abroad, especially
to Aslatic countries with their swarm
ng millions of tollers, and see the condi-
Hons surrounding these men, their wives
and families, and compare these condi-
lions with the surroundings we have en-
joyed In the United States under protec-
Tive laws. 1t seems to me a better in
Lelligence upon these subjects would re-
suit from such observations.
