Whatever more the mad old man might
have said the two frightened lads did not
stay to hear. for with the instinct OF rats
deserting a sinking ship they sped thence
as fast as nimble legs and energetic fear
could carry them. Wildly they tore
through the brush. 1t was not until they
had scaled the mountain to the nearest
crest that there leaped forth from the can
yon below them giant column of white
smoke, crowned with yellow timbers,
pieces OF bright metal and human limbs;
on which they stood came ahead of the

knowledge that box of dynamite was
concealed somewhere about was not SUM-
clent to stay their enterprise. Like cats
they crept round through the brush to the
rear Of the house and, approaching nearer
and nearer, came SO close that they could

the sound of it escaped through the ven-
tllatlng spaces underneath the caves.
The old man, whom the others called

was upbraiding them.

The old man, without appearing to be
overwatchful, nevertheless had kept an
uncommonly sharp eye about him, as the
lads judged by tue shrewd observations
which he made, but more particularly by
the dreadful denouement of the scene.
The professor voice suddenly changed in
quality and temper to cheerful and
friendly resonance.
After all. he remarked, with laugh,

He was heard to chuckle softly in the
deep ensuing silence which filed the
room-a portentous and uneasy silence it
seemed to the boys as they listened.

Indians in the wear 1s47" And here is
the story. 1t reads like fiction after the
lapse of fifty years.
In the aforementioned year Adams,
then boy of II, was engaged IN carrying
military mail between Ell Paso, lex, and
Albuquerque, N. Mex. The greater por'
ton of the country through which he
passed was desert waste. One piece OF
the way was particularly dangerous, being
in the vicinity of frequent rendezvous
of the Indians, and for the mail-carrler
safety and protection small troop OF sol.
diers was regularly detached from the mid
way post of Manzana, on the Rio drande,
to meet the mailboy at certain point OF
rocks, at which he always halted, ana to
escort him over that part OF the ROAD which
was considered unsafe.
The spot in question was generally
reached after nightfall. 1t SO happened
that the officer in charge of the troop was
Sergeant William J. Graves, who after
ward became prominent as lawyer In
this State, but who has long since joined
the silent majority. Young Graves was
of herculean build, brave as lion and as
reckless as he was brave. Week after
week he led his company OF seven troop
ers from Manzana to that point OF rocks,
and rode along with the maii-carrler
through the danger-fraught region.
Young Adams had on several occasions
been hard pressed by savages. but he was
well mounted. and his steed had always
carried him through unscathed, although
arrows sometimes whizzed annoylngly
close to his head.
No incident worth mentioning had oc-
CURED for quite little period; so that
upon one occasion Sergeant Graves felt in
clined to take matters rather leisurely.
Then, concluding that he would miss the
mail if he rode to- the point OF
rocks, the sergeant resolved to strike
ahead and meet Adams on the highway.
AS usual the mail-carrier halted. 1t
was after nightfall, but the big silver moon
made the night radiant, and objects could
be distinguished clearly for considerable
distance.
The horse was allowed to Craze about,
and Adams sat down to rest. Then he
looked toward Manzana for the troopers,
but they were nowhere to be seen. Soon
the horse pricked up its ears, and moved,
in frightened way, toward the master.
Adams knew what that meant, and lead
ing the animal to the cover of the rocks,
peered about and discovered that the red
skins were quietly closing in on him from
all sides.
Delay meant death. Adams put his

HAYwARD's EXECUTIoNER.

Sheriff of Minneapolis, Mimi, in the City.
A LIGHT reporter last evening
had the pleasure of meeting Hon.
j. E. Holmberg, Of Minneapolis,
Mimi, at the Mahncke hotel, who
was passing through the city on
his way to the City Of Mexico.
Mr.. Holmberg is sheriff OF Hen
nepin county and has the distinc-
tion of being the officer who full
filled the mandate of the law
in executing Harry L. Hay
ward, the celebrated murderer,
through his tool, Claus A. Blixt, of
Catherine Cling, for the sake Of
securing her life insurance money.
Mr.. Holmberg told many inter
esting details of Hayward's life
in prison and showed the bill of
fare which Hayward madeout in his
own writing, and which constituted
a list OF his last meal on earth, He
was executed December 10, at 2
o'clock a. m. The bill of fare is as
follows: "One melon mold Gan
.ice), assorted cake for six, chicken
salad with olive oil dressing,
two apple pies, Roquefort cheese,
olives, one mince pie, XXX
Mumm's extra dry champagne,
bread and butter, platter and
trimmings set for 6, one dozen
celery, long and fresh, napkins.
Harry T. Hayward"
The sheriff says all this was
given him except the champagne,
which the Minnesota law forbids.
Mr.. Holmberg is a prominent
politician and wealthy citizen of
Minneapolis, and has recent
ly been elected to the legisla-
ture. He is Swede by birth, but
has lived in Minneapolis for %
years, beginning life there as a
brick mason. His health becom-
ing impaired caused him to visit
California and he has also resolved
to try Mexico for his benefit. He
stopped over in this city a few
hours to visit his old friend, Mr..
Louis Hall, the popular electrician.

THE HOUSTON KILLING.

The Murdered Man Was ain Ex-San An
tonic Jail Bird.
John o. Dalton, who was shot by
Mike Ryan at Houston last Tues
day, was well known in San Anto-
MO police circles. He was a pal of
Lee Sapp, who, it will be remem-
bered, escaped from the county
Jail, disguised as clergyman.
Dalton and Sspp were in the coun-
ty Jail at the time together, being
convicted to five years in the peni-
Tertiary for swindling. The cases
were appealed and they were wait
ing for action by the higher court.
The decisions were reversed and
the CAGES against them dismissed.
Dalton was released and went to
Houston. His reputation was that
of an all-round crook and swindler,
as is also Sapp's reputation. Dalton
was born in Crockett, Texas, about
40 years ago. He killed man in
Houston two months ago.
Mike Ryan, Dalton's slayer, is
also known in San Antonio. Heis
gambler and heavy sport.

they were liberal with the favors

Cause and Effect.

Success can only be assured by going back
to the cause in the treatment of disease.
Many Doctors can see the effects only, such
as are visible to the eye, and treat the SYM
ptoms, but while the cause exists a cure is
impossible and herein lies the secret of so
many failures. The skilled Specialist devotes
all his study to few diseases and become as
familiar with them as you do with the faces
of your family. When he sees a Skin Dis
ease, he knows just here the cause lies, and
just what to do.
If you have exposed yourself to disease and
there appears suspicious sore, to his ex-
perienced eye, it becomes plain whether it ia a
poison in the blood or local trouble.
So it is with Lost Manhood, Gonorrhoea,
Syphilis, Early Vices, and other Diseases OF
