were hungry, too, for not one had had
bite or sup since coffee at dawn, but
they bit at their plug tobacco and
logged silently on. and up to the mo-
ment of their catching sight again of
the old trail that wound beside the
Sandy not an Indian had been seen or
heard Of Now there rose into mid
air little dust cloud far out near the
Prescott road telling of some party in
rapid movement. "Muncey and Car
doza skipping for all they're worth, :"
hazarded Kelly. but Turner shook his
head. THAT clouds coming this way"
said he, "and coming fast-and it's
some Of our own people"
And so it proved. Less than half an
hour later, down by the splashing
waters, the two detachments came to-
gether. Comrades of the same regi-
ment, yet from stations miles apart.
The sunburned, dust-covered fellows
from far up the Sandy rode in to the
welcoming ranks from Retribution.
"What news of the Indians?" was nat
urally the first inquiry, and rapidly,
officer to officer, man to man, the two
parties exchanged views. The captain
of the little party from Camp Sandy
was soldierly fellow, Tanner by name,
and with him were two or three ex-
perienced scouts Al Zeiber was one, a
man who knew Apachcs and Arizona
even as their old guide, Buffalo Bill,
knew the Pawnees and the plains.
There isn't hostile west of the Sandy
this day." said he. They've all had
their Jump and done what damage
they could, and now they're skipping
back to the Mogollon country" But
Zeiber looked grave and troubled when
told of the deeds of the previous night
''They are little detached war parties,
said he. 1--WE may strike one of them
down near the springs, but doubt it.
In brief conference the officers decided
what should then be done. Tanner sent
his lieutenant with scout and twenty
men down along the north face of the
Socorro to find Foster and follow full
speed any Of the struggling ApacheS
whose trails they might discover, hop.
ing even yet to recapture Leon. Then
the pack train came up and presently
cook fires were blazing in the timber
and from the Camp Sandy supplies "a
hearty dinner was served out to Thorn

demand. Visitors books were bold

sleeping guests invaded at discre-
ton. Each was Roman Censor
in herself, and at her knock 'In
the name OF purity" locked doors
flew open. 1t was idle for Mr..
Smith to tell his loving wife that
business would detain him so late
that he would put up at his club
for the night, or that he had a pres
sing engagement which compelled
him to run down to Brighton for a
day or two. The sleuth hounds of
morality tracked him at every step.
The ubiquitous detectives spied out
all offenders, and their punish
ments were terrible.
The Music Halls were closed and
the Theatres bankrupt Only sa-
cred music was permitted. Moth
ing but psalms, hymns and patri-
otto songs were allowed to be sung.
Opinion was divided as to the last,
as some thought they savored of
Jingoism. But "The Roast Beef Of
old England" and "Tom Bowling"
were voted decidedly sensuous.
Nude statues were provided with
petticoats and many fine pictures
were draped. AS il classic times,
a man might not kiss his wife be-
fore others without being fined.
Novels especially, and literature
generally, were severely expur-
gated. Dancing and divided skirts
were prohibited. The manufa cture
or sale of Intoxicating liquors was
IA misdemeanor. The Nation was
very sober. Mirth and love were
banished. Dulness and frigid de-
corum reigned supreme. The only
ones who enjoyed life were the
natural prudes and precisians.
Fifty millions groaned under their
slavery, and their piti0us faces
were SO sad to look upon, that the
vision came to an abrupt end

blue of the midsummer skies, lay the
wreck of another outfit 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 murdcrers of the luckless Bust
amente were his own countrymen-the
robbers of Kelly's corral were Manuel
Cardoza and the genial Nancy. Here
were the stiffening carcasscs OF the old
sergeant's pets; here the half dozen
pack mules, packs and all; here the
mutilatcd remains Of the poor devils
whom Cardoza had abandoned. for up
the canyon went the shod hoof tracks
of American horses. Ovcrtalen by
Apaches, two vol mounted leaders had
left. their humble followers to fight it
outas 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 I'M
damaged by the flames, Cranes party,
watched by Thornton's from the oppo-
site heights, slowly remounted and set
forth on their return. IF Foster comes

from across the stream. "We've got to

as we scout to the north side, and if
this be specimen of Apache business"
added Thornton to himself, as he slow
ly remounted, ''it's too complicated
campaigning for me-
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. Tborr ,on, with
Turner and some twenty hungry troop
ers, pushed northward, determined to
scout the Socorro to the Prescott road.
Turner still kept his slli-mishcrs ahead
There was no telling where the In
dams 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
scoundrels as Muncey and Cardoza, at

was extremely hot and the water in
the canteens utterly undrinkable. The
horses, too, were suffering, but it was
impossible to get them down the steep
to the dashing stream, so even when
after an hours weary marching over
the upland trail they came in sight of
the broad valley OF the Sandy above
the range, Thornton decided to go on
down to the lowlands and water before
starting on his return. 1t was high
noon, hot noon, scorching noon, and
the mems eyelids were blistered by the
fierce rays of an unclouded sun. They

the danger of an impetuous Bryan
move, declared that IL was the result
OF good generalship. and failed in Its
purpose to carry the convention off its
feet. They still held their strongholds,

and were smilingly confident that a
ballot would take from the Bryan
movement It's element of popular en-
thusiasm. They were still confident Of
winning after the first ballot. The
Boies and Matthews forces were satis-

Bryan would disappear after their full
strength had been registered and found
insufficient 10 nominate. The lesser
candidates were playing a waiting

The leaders who doubted the wisdom

stampede by adjourning until to-day.
They hoped that a nights reflection
would suffice. At the suggestion Of ad-
tournment there was rebellion. The
motion was declared carried against a
storm of opposition against the Bryan
enthusiasts. who wanted to nominate
their candidate at once. A nights re-
Election only made them more deter

Chicago. July 10.-William Jennings
Bryan Of Nebraska, the young. classic
featured orator from the plains of the
Platte. swept the convention off It's feet
to-day and was nominated for presi-
dent on the fifth ballot Political his
tory furnishes no precedent for to-
day proceedings in the Coliseum elth-
er great spectacular show, or as
the result of the deliberations of the
convention of a great political party.
Bryan Is but SO years old, younger by
10 years than any man ever nominated
for the chief magistracy Of the Ameri-
can republic. He came, like a young
Lochinvar, out of the West, which has
never before nominated q presidential
candidate. to WOO the bride for whose
hand the country's greatest chieftains
have been suitors. His name was
barely mentioned In the preliminary
diminishing. Four days ago, when the
convention met he was not entered in
the list, but yesterday he made an i'm
passioned speech and stirred the con-
vention to frenzy by his eloquence.
That speech overthrew the diligently
organized work of weeks and months
for other aspirants for the honor.
The cause OF silver was uppermost in
the minds Of the delegates when they
assembled here. For the cause they
deliberately placed the eastern wing of
the party on the altar. Now, when the
convention Is coldly analyzed, 1t Is seen
that the support of Bland and Boies
as candidates was never solidly ground

Of the issue that they rallied delegates
to their standards. and even after

Yesterday when Bryan made his
speech the delegates suddenly saw in
him the great advocate OF their cause.

wanted a tribune Of the people. They
