mend that we should halt as soon as 1t be-
comes light in some clump OF trees and
wait for them as they come back. We
are pretty well matched In numbers, and
with the advantage Of surprise we ought
to be able to wipe them out altogether.
We might go as far as we can up the
valley to the point where It becomes
mere ravine, before daylight breaks, and
our horses will be all the better for rest
of few hours. They will have gone over
forty miles since they left the river, and
we may probably have a very long jour
ney to do'again tomorrow. There is no
saying how far the senoTita may have
gone, she would not know whether the
redskins might not follow all night, and
l should think that she would keep on till
daybreak. though, of course, she would
only go at a walk"

in her place I should be puzzled. I should
reckon that all in the valley had been
wiped out. The redskins would assuredly
first make a rush for the hacienda be-
cause 1t was most important that they
should carry that before the men could
rally round and make a defense. j should
reckon that the redskins would remain
there for four or five days before they
had jerked as much meat as they could
carry, and that when they started a party
would like enough be placed in ambush
to catdh me as l came back. l should
know that it was next to hopeless TO try
and find my way down across such noun
tains as there are ahead, through which,
so far as l know, there are no tracks,
and l am not sure that l should not push
on in hopes of reaching the Moquis, who

From there one could travel north, strike
the Santa Fe trail, and possibly make
ones way through safely, though the
Navajoes are pretty nearly as bad there
as the Apaches are here. Whether the
senorita has ever heard of the MoquiS 1
cannot say. but If she finds that she is
on trail she will follow it, thinking any
thing better than going back and falling
into the hands of the Apaches."
Are there any other tribes she would
have 10 pass through on the way?"
Il think not. 1t is a great mountain
track, where even redskins could not pick
up living. AS far as l have heard the
track from the ford leads through a series
of passes between lofty hills. 1t is not the
course of a river, and, therefore, there
are not likely to be any villages. l should
say that there would be forest on the low
er slopes, and we are sure to meet with
enough game TO keep u.s.

Yet this IS the main reliance of the toxus
iaculator in obtaining its food He is
found in the rivers of India. and lives
chiefly on the insects that wander over
the leaves of aquatic plants. To walt for
them to fall into the water would result
in meager fare; to capture them By leap
ing would be difficult, even II the noise
caused by the act did not frighten them
away. The toxus knows q better trick
than that. He draws in some drops OF
water, and then contracting his mouth,
elects them with such force and certain
ty that they rarely fail to bring down the
insect aimed at.
