Each morning thereafter tine Cap'L
rode his pony out In front Of The men
and gravely inspected them. He would
blow a little bugle and wave his sword.
He sat firm and dignified, and touched
his hat in military salute, like 4 trained
veteran of half hundred years. Not
q man in the company but would have
rolled in the dust for him-or, what
seemed little more serious to them,
would have faced death at the tannon's
mouth. He ruled them like tyrant.
Thus the long sumner days came
and went. The Cap would ride from
his home mile away, to the white city
of tents. His old nanny followed him
ON foot, and hung around the camp and
watched him from afar. Sometimes his
little sister came, bit of baby with
rosk cheeks and great brown eyes. The
soldiers thronged about him, made hin,
curious toys of twigs and leaves, and
talked to him in fashion almost rever-
entail. He stood in their eyes for wife
and children.
But one day the unexpected hap.
pened, as it always does in war-and
peace. The regiment was stationed on
guard duty. The men were held in re-
serve miles away from the active war
fare, and had grumbled much thereat.
They were eager to show their patriot
ism by fighting.
The opportunity came. The enemy,
by forced march, hurled a detacn-
ment double their number upon the
camp. The pckets were surprised. cap
tured or driven in. The regiment was
at breakfast. There was hurried call
to arms, and lines were formed as rap
idly as possible under the fire. But the
attack came with such swiftness and
force that the regiment was borne
back. Slowly they retired at first, and
then the orderly retreat became rout.
Down the hill the panic-stricken sol
diers went. Officers tried to rally them
in vain. They rushed hither, thither,
everywhere, seeking only to escape the
shower of lead which the enemy poured
furiously upon them from neighbor-
ing thicket.
As the missiles flew the thickest, out

tween the contending parties new fig
ure came into view. 1t was the Capr,
on his pony, wholly unconscious of the
hell into which he rode. Dressed in his
uniform, with shining sword dangling
at his side, he rode on. He looked
around. The camp was in confusion.
Smoke from many guns filled the air.
The crack Of musketry sounded sharp
and clear. Through the th'cket he
could see strange flag tiutter:ng, and

Behind company B, which on he cen

Behind company B. which on the cen
ter had been the last Of the regiment
to fall back, were reforming the broken
wings. Upon such little things as rib
bon or horseshoe or child's voice do
large things, like fate of battles and Of
nations, hang. The Cap'n saw his ia
lniliar company B come steadily, swift
ly forward. He laughed in childish
glee. He blew his bugle. He called In
a shrill, childish treble, and then
whats that?" the Cap'n had sunk
back into his saddle; his bugle fell to
his side, and then baby form was on
the ground and the blood of the inno-
cent was upon the clover and green
grass. A stray bullet from an enemy's
rife had struck him there.
1t had not needed this TO win the bat
tie. The baby's bugle call had settled
that.
But now company b fought like
tigers, remembering the little form
upon the ground. Each man had the
strength of ten. Somehow some way,
they blamed each individual opponent
with the firing of the shot whica struck
the Cap'n, and dealt with each accord
ingly. No enemy could stand before
an onslaught like that of company B.
There was resistance, of course. There
was sharp fight, hand d-to-hand strug-
gle within the thicket,t but For the
Cap'n's sake!" was the cry with whicn
the enemy was driven from the field.
Two hours later the soldiers came
slowly back to camp. The Capn lay in
the ambulance wagon white as the
sheet which covered him. His little
hand held a silver bugle. A smile, wan,
like real smiles ghost, was on his
face. His black nanny hung over
him, aud the old regimental surgeon
stood by with anXiousriook. suddenly
the pathetic little figure stirred. He
was speaking.
SISTER, tell the boys I'll play for
them tomorrow; I'm tired now,' he
whispered. His blue eyes closed. The
Cap'n was asleep.
He did not die, though for days his
life hung on a thread and his voice was
almost gone. Through all his illness
he held the bugle, and would raise il
to his thin, parched lips and try 10
blow a charge, but could not. TO this
glad hour the glory of company b Is
the battle which they fought and won
that summer morning! And if you
ask them, each member of company b
will tell you twas the Cap'n who saved
the day.-Saturday Evening Pest.

down the hill he watched for few mo
ments the fleeing forms of the mem
bers of company b.
The Cap'n was greatly puzzled: he
could not understand it all. He thought
II must be sham battle, mimic war
fare that he had once seen. he won
dered why he had not known of IT.
And what were all those soldiers lying
down for? And why did no one come
to meet him? He would call them. He
raised his bugle TO his lips. and over
the crack of muskets and the othes
noise OF battle sounded the bugle call
to charge. Louder and louder he blew.
until his whole strength went into the
inspiring summons.
The enemy heard the bugle call and
were puzzled. Had reenforcemenss
come? They saw the little figure
perched on his pony's back aad won
dered more. Was it trick TO divert
their attention? They could not fire
at children, and there came the Cap'n's
little sister trudging along in the dust
after her big. tiye-year-old brother.
Company b heard the bugle call as
the soldiers tumbled rather than ran
down the hill. At first il awakened no
response. Then the frightened soldiers
stopped in their wild. mad fight. one
here, one yonder. A corporal turned
and looked. Through rift in the
smoke. blown by passing breeze, he
saw the pony and its rider. Boys. it's
the Cap'n. He's calling u.s."
The bugle rang out again. Twas the
only note the little fellow knew-thr
first notes of the battle charge.
I'm going back, boys" said the cor
poral. I'm going back after the
Cap'n!"
For the Cap'n's saseg" cried Lieut.
Martin as he wheeled his horse. Let's

The cry went on along the hillside.
Cowards were stayed and turned into
heroes. The broken line reformed,
Nobody knew that the enemy had
ceased firing. Nobody cared. They
were going back for the Cap'n's sake.
He must not be ashamed Of themi The

GOODNESS IN DANGER.
An English Army 0mcer VINO was
Possessed of Great
-terve.

When the natives of the Gold Coast
hinterland captured Lieut. Henderson,
an English army officer, they got into
wordy discussion as TO how they
would kill him. The victim listened
anxiously but with outward calmncss
"Oh, WE'LL" said the lieutenant at
last, Il cannot be bothered with your
arguments. I'm very sleepy Let me
know when you have decided and off
to sleep he apparently went.
The unexpected performance saved
his life. His calm indifference per-
suaded Samory's men that they were
dealing with some one of immense I'M
portance. Unwilling to take on them
selves the responsibility for his death.
they sent him unharmed 10 Samory's
court, in the Jimini country.
Once again Lieut.. Henderson saved
himself by like exhibition of courage.
He found Samory on throne, sur
rounded by many warriors, yet when
motioned to do homage on his hands
and knees he did nothing of the sor..
He sat down on the throne beside
Samory. and shook that monarch
warmly By the hand.
Thanks to his GOODNESS and assurance
he was accepted as the representative
of a great sovereign instead of cap
tive doomed to death. He talked TO
Samory of the queen. and Samory
talked TO him.
Thus a mission which might have
ended. as so many African missions
have ended, in terrible silence and
suspicion of unspeakable horror, may
end in a valuable basis of future rela-
tiors between Great Britain and the
Mohammedans of western Africa

A MANS STATE.
California May Yet BE Diessed as
One of Earth's Male
Lands.

California is emphatically one OF
"earth's male lands" to accept Brown
ing's classification. The first Saxon
settlers were men, and in their rude civ
ilization women had no part. For years
women in California were objects OF
curiosity or of chivalry, disturbing
rather than cementing influences in
society. Even yet California is essen
tally nuns state. 1t is common TO
say that public opinion does not ex-
st there; but such statement is not
wholly correct. 1t does exist. but II is
an out-of-door opinion-a mans view
of men. There is, for example.
strong opinion about hypocrisy in Cal
ifornia, as more than one clerical rene
gade has found to his discontinue.
The pretense TO virtue is the one vice
that is not forgiven. If man be not
liar, few questions are asked, least OF
all the delicate one as to the "name he
went by IN the states" What we COM
monty call public opinion-the cut-and-
dried decision on social and civic ques-
tions-is made up in the house. II IS
essentially feminine in its origin, the
opinion of householders as TO how men
should behave. In California there is
little which corresponds to the social
atmosphere pervading the snug. white
painted green blinded New England
villages, and this little exists chiefly in
communities of people transported
thither in block-traditions conven-
tionalities. prejudices and all. There
is, in general. no merit attached to con-
formity, and one may take wide range
Of rope without necessarily arousing
distrust. Speaking broadly, in Calls
fornia the virtues of life spring from
within, and are not prescribed from
without. The young man who is de-
cent only because he thinks that some
one is looking would do well TO stay
away. The stern law OF individual re-
sponsibility turns the fool over to the
fuol-killer without a preliminary trial.

The Harqua Hala.

A.G. Hubbard last Monday pur- chased the famous Harqua Hala gold mines for $501O, which were sold at public auction at the court house.
 This rich gold mine was sold to an English syndicate not many years ago by Messrs. Hubbard and Bowers for S1, 1,25O,0O0. The mine was then ap- parently in the first stages of it's deve- lopment, but the operations of the English company were not as success ful as that of the previous owners. The property was worked several years when the company decided to close it down. It has started up spasmodically since, but never with the same suc- cess or the first operation of the mine. Now MT. Hubbard buys the mine back and will operate the same.
 The Haroua Halas are located in Yuma county and was at one time considered the greatest gold property in the territory, and was one of the best gold producers the Southwest until a short time ago.
 We are pleased to note that Chas. Pickenbeck, one of the most thorough mining men in the west, will have charge of the operations and is now at the mine.

THE ADVENTUROUS POLE.
Why a Portion of A. BienkOWSki is
 EnscOnced in Heaven.

A. Bienkowski left the first part of the week on horse back to visit the various mining camps of the county Charley, as he is known here, is quite character. He was born in Warsaw, Poland, and like all Poles and Irish IS imbued with an intense patriotism. At an early age and while yet a school boy the wrongs of his beloved Poland burnt deeply into his heart. He one day smuggled a small history of Poland into the school room, which was dis covered by the teachers and the affair subsequently, developed into political significance, and young Bienkowski was compelled to flee his native land to avoid transportation to Siberia. He wandered about the capitals of Europe for awhile and then went to Africa from whence he came to America where the free government that he had dreamed of for Poland was in force. He has been in every city of import ance in the United States and is now an enthusiastic American citizen. During the Dawson City gold excite ment Charley gained considerable notoriety by walking over Chilkoot pass with a peg leg. He lost one of his legs in a railroad accident in Chi cago shortly after coming to the United States.
 On the evening before his departure for the mines Charley regaled few choice spirits with beer and stories of adventure. During the festivities the probabilities of the several parties gain ing heaven were discussed, and over a foaming bumper Beinkowski thus de- llvered himself:
 "Gentlemen, my chances for heaven are superior. Ill tell you why. When I lay in the hospital at Chicago, hay ing jnst suffered the amputation of my leg, poor devil lay dying on the cot next to mine. The dying man seemed too weak to gain heaven and the dismal caverns of hell yawned for him. He asked me if I could assist him, and if I could he implored me to do so. A happy thought struck me. Sure l could help him and would gladly do so. offered him my amputated leg he took it, and with the assistance of the third limb gained the pearly portals and was admitted by St, Peter. The transformed man was assigned his place in the heavenly choir. He placed my leg in the vacant seat be- side him, and other spirits can readily see that the seat is taken. You see l am now partly in heaven and partly in this vale of tears. By the loss of & leg I assisted fellow mortal in distress and secured reserved seat in heaven" :"
 Charley returned this morning looking as brown as Russian bear.
