Let the young be sure to begin right.
Not once in thousand times does a
man successfully change occupations.
The sea of life is so rough that you
cannot cross over from one vessel to
another except at great peril of fall
ing between. Many have fallen down
l.. nothing between the mason's trow
Il and the carpenters saw; between
&c lawy er's brief and the authors
+. II; between the medicine chest and
he pulpit. 1t is no easy matter to
switch off on another track this thun
dering express train of life. A daffodil
and a buttercup resolved to change
places with each other, but in crossing
ever from stem to stem they fell at
the feet of hearts ease. Gust as

and she added: "You might better

lows Blake's men were throwing their
carblnes across their shoulders and dis
mounting as they reached the old fanil
lar spot, and Loring cast one look thither
before he spoke.
VINO were the two men who follow
ed me?" he calmly asked, and his eyes.
though red trimmed and infiamed by the
dust of the desert, looked straight into
the dark face of the aggrieved Sanoho.
"Surely know not, senior teniente.
He had dropped the "capitan" as too
transparent t1attery.
Don't lie, Sancho. There's ten moro
dollars, and Loring tossed an eagle
into the ready palm. "That's $50, and
I shall want that horse again in the
morning.
Tomorrow, senior! Why. he will
not be fit to co.
But to this observation Mr.. Loring
made no reply. Straight from Sanchc's
side he walked down the corral, halt
ed behind two rangy, hard looking
Eteeds that showed still the effects of
recent severe usage, and these he studied
Coolly and thoroughly a few minutes,
while, peering from two narrow Sits in
the ranch wall between the windows,
two sun tanned frontiersmen as closely
studied him. With these latter peeping
from the shaded window was "the wife
of my brother" exchanging with them
comments in low, guarded tones. In the
adjoining room, bedroom, girl of
perhaps 16, slender, graceful and dark
eyed, peeped in the opposite direction
over toward the willows where Blake's
men were now unsaddling, whence
presently, with giant strides, came
Blake himself, stalking over the sand.

shrilled little Pedro, and three or four
lazy, browsing forms began slowly to get
to their feet and to shuttle away toward
the dOOrless aperture in the adobe wall,
the entrance to the dining room of the
stage and ranch people. Two men lin
gered, the two who were specializing as
to the military connections of the young
officer. One of them, after a quiet
glance about the neighborhOod. strollad
out toward the stage, hands deep in the
pockets of his wide trousers. There he
seemed casually to repeat his leisurely
survey of the surroundings. Then he
lounged back.
"No CO., said he in low tone "both
of 'em there yet; young Teller changing
his dress Their dinner S ready, though.
The colonel's writing.
Presently Sancho, grave and deliber
ate, as became his race, emerged from
the shadows of the bar and came close
before he spoke.
"He goes to ride-that youth. Know
you whittier? And he has no horse"
And, as though to confirm this state
ment, with his quick elastic step Loring
came forth to the side gate, dumped
his valise into the stage, turned and
looked keenly over the group, then as
quickly approached them. He had dis
carded his linen coat and trousers in
favor of a pair of brown cord breeches,
with Hualpai leggings and light spurs.
A broad belt, with knife and revolvers,
was buckIed to his waist. A silk hand
kerchief was loosely knotted at his
throat. A light colored felt hat was
pulled down to his eyebrows, and dust
coIored gauntlets were drawn upon his
hands. "Sancho,' said he, "have that
roam of yours saddled in ten minutes
How much if keep him a week."
Everything in my house is at the
service of the senior CAPTAIN" began
Sancho grandiloquently, 'but as to that
horse''-
''No other will do. How much
week? Though I may keep him only
day"
"Senor, he is the horse of my broth
er, and my brother is not here. If harm
should Gomez
"Full value will be paid. Here
and a glittering goldpiece, a double
eagle, flashed in the sun. 'Waste no
talk now. Take this and saddle him."
Slowly, gingerly, with thumb and
finger tips the ranchman plucked the
coin from the open and extended palm,
then bowed with the same native grace
and gravity.
"Come, Loring,' growled the colonel
impatiently, dinner" and Sancho
caught the name.
"The Senior Loreeng-will not ride
him hard-or far? 1t is to the camp Of
the major he goes?"
But, turning on his heel, not another
word would Loring say. Ten min
utes later, his hunger appeased with
bacon, frijoles and chocolate, he mount
ed and rode quietly away eastward I'M
til Sancho's ranch was two miles be-
hind. then gave the roam both rein and
spur and sped like the wind up the
Gila, two of Sancho's oldest customers
vainly flashing on his trail.

CHAPTER III.

Three days later, just at shutdown,
the loungers at Sancho's were treated
to sensation. Up from the SOUTH the
old Tucson trail, came, dusty, travel
stained and weary, half troop of cav
airy, escortlng apparently some person
age of distinction, for be was an object
of the utmost care and attention on the
part of the lieutenant commanding and
every man in the detachment AS the
cavalcade approached the dun colOred
walls Of the corral and without a word
or sign to the knot of curious spectators
gathered at the barrOOm door filed away
to the spot where wandering commands
of horse were accustomed to bivouac for
the night (tents would have been super
duous in that dry, devices atmosphere)
the women, whispering together behind
their screened window place, stared the
harder at sight Of the leaders. One was
Lieutenant Blake-no mistaking him
the longest legged man in Arizona. An
other was big Sergeant Feeney, veter-
an who had seen better days and duties
but served his flag in the deserts of the
ella as sturdily as ever he fought along
the Shenandoah three years before
Between these two, dapper, slender,
natty, with his hat set jauntily on one
side and his mustache and imperial
tWirled to the proportions of toothpicks,
rode third cavalier whom every one
recognized instantly as the fugitive Of
Camp Cooke, the urgently sought Cap
tain Nevins, and, though Nevins' arms
and legs were untrammeled by shackles
Of any kind, it was plain to see that he
was helpless prisoner. He had parted
with his belt and revolver. His spurs
were ravished from his heels, and his
bride rein, cut in two, was shared be-
tween Blake and his faithful sergeant
Behind these three rode another set.
Sandwiched between two troopers was
man whom Sancho's people we'll re-
membered as Nevins' clerk and assist
ant, despite the fact that bushy beard
now covered the face that was smooth
shaved in the halcyon days of the sup
ply camp. Then came some 80 horse
men in long, struggling column Of twos,
while straight from the flank to the
gate Of the corral, silent ans. even SOM
Der, rode the engineer, Lieutenant Lor-
ing. To him Sancho whipped off his
silver laced sombrero and bowed, while
two Jaded looking vaquerOs, after one
long yet furtive stare, glanced quickly
at each other and sided away to the
nearest aperture in the wall of the
ranch, which happened to be the dining
room door.
Loring mechanically touched his hat
brim in recognition of the ranchkeep-
er's obeisance, but there was no liking
in his eye. AT the gate he slowly, some
what stifdy, dismounted, for it was evil
dent he had ridden long and far. The
roam with hanging head tripped eager
ly yet YEARLY to his accustomed stall,
and swarthy Mexican Embossed at once
the cincha and removed the horsehair
bride. Thus Sancho and the engineer
iwere left by themselves, though inquis-
litive ranch folk sauntered to tie gate
way and peered after them into the
corral. Over at the little clump Of will

COUNTY TICKETS COMPARED

There is no exaggeratioH In the :
statement that the county ticket nom.
mated by the republicans OF mis-
county is the weakest ever named nv
that party. Personally, the caudi.
dates are respectable men and women
but politically they are devoid Of
strength Three of the number are
strangers to the general public and
have never cast vote 10 the county
Two of the number are not taxpayers.
while the Others have been nominated
so repeatedly as to suggest that If
they should leave the country or die
at least two places on every republi-
can ticket would thereafter remain
vacant. 8y
The ticket is unusually weak be.
cause a part of it has been before the
public so frequently as to have pro.
duced WEAKNESS and a desire for
change from the monotony and be.
cause another part has been incon-
D icuous for political and public
affairs and is not known to possess
the Qualification which should char
acterise those seeking public Offices.
The ticket as whole IS a confes.
sion that the republicans expect the
fusionists to carry the county by an
-
overwhelming majority. Were there
any chance for republican success,
stronger men would have sought
the nominations. That such men
: Stunned, instead of seeking them, is
an admission that the fusion county
| ticket is invulnerable, and that tie
republican ticket has been placed in
| the field, not with The expectation
, OF electing any of its nominees, but
J merely for the purpose Of preventing
, the arrangement of the votes from
the head of the ticket, so that a few
9 of the leaders who manipulated the
, county convention will be in more
e direct line to receive federal appoint
r ments in case Mckinley is elected.
| Never was there such sharp contrast
between the party tickets of the
5 county, for while one is the weakest
. the other is the strongest ever named.
$ Or the fusion county candidates
e three are first termers who have most
. capably discharged the duties of Their
e respective offices, while many of the
k others are new but well known.
b Every man on the ticket is a tax
t payer and has Lived and voted in the
If county for many years, and each
S stands well in the community in
& which he resides.
e There is no question Of the election
e Of the fusion candidates. The only
l. question is the size of their majority.

TRADE THEIR ONLY HOPE.

One of the few lines of activity
that the local republicans have not
abandonedsis their attempt to per
suade fusionists to cast their bal
lots for the republican nominees
for Sheriff and probate judge.
DHsreis evidently keen desire on
che part of their leaders to get
control of theaestwo Offices.
OF their county ticket they are
letting everything drift except two
candidates, on whors' they arercon-
centrating their effortsa They are
plying every citizen'of the county
with the argument that IL is to
their interest tosvcte for their can
didates for these Offices, Contrary
to expectations, their legislative
nominees have long since been
cast overheard. Their motive for
placing former silver republicans
on their ticket is now revealed.
The bosses did not intend to sup
port them when they dictated their
nomination.
This is also true of the repub-
ican nominees for treasurer and
county attorney both of whom,
