brands against it, but the boys at the
water casks had been too quick for
them, while. the aim Of those at the
ltopholeS was so deadly that none of
the Indians had succeeded in getting
near enough to really start a blaze
which would be dangerous.
Still, it was an anxious time. The
days went by, the strain was beginning
to tell on them ALL several of them
were wounded, and suffering had made
them lose heart; they had given up
hopes of the troops or of firing out the
Apaches. The Indian loss, indeed, had
been so heavy that everyone knew the
price which would be exacted by saw
age revenge. Still, there was nothing
to do but to hold on. The ApacheS
lay hidden, but if by chance anyone
showed himself at the ranch there was
an instant rain of scattering bullets.
ITO cOmplicate matters, the water
supply began to run alarmlngly low
there was barely enough for the horses
and men, none to spare for the LAVISH
use demanded in putting out even d
small blaze The suspense was horr1-

have to be done. That something was
very suddenly precipitated by the In
dams themselves.

was unhurt by the fall.

Jack.
The Indians were at the mouth OF
the canyon. They soon gained rapidly

and presently a shout announced their
discovery Of the PROSTATE horse.
Toms soul sickened within him.

but life for both? Impossible

ing from the saddle as they reached
the entrance to the canyon, he rapidly
unfastened Jacks cartridge belt. threw
his rifle to the ground, and wound his
lariat with a few quick turns around
the almost unconscious man, fastening
him securely to the saddle.

delirlum of Tom, calling for him, be-

The Apaches had been driven back
but were not completely subdued But
as soon as Jack was able to tell his
terrible story a rescuing party was
organized and hurried to Seven Mile
Canyon with all the speed which was
prudent
At first no trace of Tom could be
found. Then behind a rock was dis

hnally down in little gully the skele-

upon the ground, one end of a rope

ground. Alongside was a fairylike
skeleton fastened by a thong of raw
hide to the same stake.
From these mute witnesses those
familiar with Apache methods were
able to imagine the awful fate which
had overtaken poor Tom.
This is what must have happened

held the Indians in check as long as
possible by pegging away every time a

Meetings to Be Held by Organized
Labor This Week

President Gompers, of the American
Federation Of Labor, writing in the
current number of the Midland Me-
chaniG. says in part:
The trade unions of modern times say
with a great economist that at is far more
important to work at the prevention of mis-
cry than to multiply places Of refuge for the
miserable?"
That the practical application and work to
prevent misery is to remove the cause of the
greatest incentive to decentralization and de-
pravity, for, with Carlyle, the trade unions
say that the saddest sight presented to man
kind is the workers who can find no work to
do. 1t is a commentary upon our civilization
and one which reflects upon our sense Of
justice our economy and our humanity.
The trade unions make no pretensions Of
what their highest aim or ultimate ideal may
be, but they made the only practicable, tan
gible battle today against the unjust condi-
tons resulting from our anarchic industrial
methods, and despite all cant, ridicule, an
tagonism and condemnation, they are more
human than the dilettante humanitarians;
more charitable than the organized charities;
