l went on a three months furlough,
and three days later l was wearing
the shoulder straps of a Mexican cap

cavalry. 1t wasn't necessary, but 1

my own post, and the boys were kino
enough to loan me two small field p &C Is

Yaqui country.

Rosales and pushed right up into the

rounded by 1000 Yaquis. Next morn
ing they closed in, but we were well
intrenched behind rocks on a high rise
of ground.
THE firing was getting pretty hot.

that turned the tide of battle. 1t was
like turning on a hose of fire. The
ranks of advancing Yaqus simply
withered and shriveled up. Those who
didn't tumble among the rocks turned
and ran, and we never saw or heard
of them again.

CHAPTER v.

CHAPTER V.
I told you in the last chapter that
after being captured, was given to
an old Indian named Red Moon. He
had been a famous warrior In his day,
and for that reason was treated with
the greatest respect in his old age. Of
course, l knew nothing of the Indian
dialect, but he made me understand
what was wanted by signs. 1t was my
duty to cook his meals, bring water
from the creek and keep a supply of
wood on hand. l was not much of a
cook, but 1 did not need to be. The
Indians lived mostly on wild meat and
a kind of porridge made of corn meal
and 1 had no trouble in cooking to
please my master. He allowed me to
eat the same as he did, and, although
ne was not cross with me, he would
sit for hours without speaking, and
ne had nothing to say to me unless he
wanted something done. l cannot
complain in the least of his treatment
of me.
1t was poor little Betty who had a
hard time of it. She had to bring wa
Ter, gather wood, help to cook, and
10 tan skins and hides and to make
ieggings and moccasins, and she was
ousy from morning till night. Not
only did she have more work than
a girl of her age ought to have done,

THAT gold is formed from solution Is
generally recognized, says Mines and
Minerals. The miner receives the
theory because it explains the making
of gold to him, but he often wonders
how it is done, so here is what has been
seen. Daintree once prepared a solu-
ton Of gold and left in it a small piece
of metallic gold. Accidentally small
piece of wood fell into the solution; the
solution decomposed, the gold assumed
q metallic state and collected and held
to the small piece of undissolved gold,
which increased in size. Another inves-
tigator heard Of this and made a dilute
gold solution, in which he immersed
piece of iron pyrites and left it there
month. He added also organic matter.
and at the months end the pyrites were
covered with a film of metallic gold.
Pyrites and galena were next tried, and
each was covered with gold. Gold,
copper pyrites, arsenical pyrites, gall
ena, wolfram were also tried, with sim
liar results. Metallic precipitates were
tried, and while they threw down the
gold as a metallic powder they did NOT
cause 1t to cohere nor to plate any or
the substances tried. Organic matter
thus seemed the necessary chemical
agent. Through the wood used In these
experiments gold was disseminated In
fine particles. Imagine these expert
ments conducted by nature through
ages and the result could be q nuggee

laurel bush. singing and rafting their
gourd shells.
Tell me why you do this" implored
the hunter.
Thereupon one of the strange people
took a stick, pointed at the end, and
thrust it into the fire. When it was
burning, he grabbed the stick from the
fire and thrust it through the hunters
cheek. 1t hurt, of course, but only for
a second, for at once the man who APP
piled the stick poured upon the wound
some of the magic medicine.
Then they pierced the hunters leg
and healed it in the same manner.
Finally they said: Now that we
have proved to you the value of our
medicine, we will teach you how to
make it,
So they taught the hunter how to
sing the medicine-song and how to
make the magic water.
He was directed to take one ear of
corn and dry it. Then he was to
scrape the cob and grind it very fine.
Then he was directed to take one
squash and dry that and pound it very
with water from a running brook, al
ways being careful to take the water
from up stream and never down.
After he had learned the secret of
the medicine water the hunter was
astonished to see the people who had
taught him and who had been dancing
about the fire and the iron laurel bush
suddenly change into animals, beavers
bears and foxes, all with wings, and in
a second they all few away, leaving
MIN alone.
When he returned to his own village
the hunter set to work making medi-
cine water, and before he died manu-
featured enough to last one hundred
years.
Now the Senecas make it every time
the deer changes his coat, and they still

Water.
Every time the deer changes his coat
the Seneca Indians prepare their great
medicine water which, they believe,
will cure almost any sort of i'll or any
wound.
They prepare it with the singing Of
songs which tell how the medicine was
discovered and rattle gourd shells as
they sing.
Two hundred years ago, as they tell
in their medicine songs, a hunter went
out into the woods after game. One
night he came to an open field and
there encamped In the middle of the
night the hunter was awakened by the
sound of singing, and rubbing his
sleepy eyes, he saw that he was sur
rounded by a lot of strange people.
One of them, fierce-looking man,
said: What you have seen Is sacred.
You must die"
But the hunter said that, as 1t was
still dark he had not seen anything.
Just then the dawn began to break
and he saw that around him were
growing corn and squash vines.
Some of the strange people were I'M
willing to kill the hunter, and proposed
that, instead, he be forgiven for tres
passing on their territory and be taught
their magic. This was finally agreed,
and the man who had at first wanted to
kill the hunter said:
THE great medicine for wounds is
squash and corn. Come with me and
l will teach you"
So he led him to a place where there
was fire and a laurel bush that look
ed like iron. All the people then began

Once we had news from our friend,
the Mexican commandate, that he had
cornered over a hundred raiders in a
ravine, and he asked us to come over
to help him smoke them out
1T didn't take us long to get over,
and we found two companies of rurales
stretched in firing line across the
mouth of the canon, while the raiders,
tntrenched behind rocks, were dropping
the MeXicans by twos and threes. We
came just in time to prevent a STAN
pede of the commentaries troops
Then we charged the raiders and killed
seventy of them. The commandante
took no prisoners. But forty Mexicans
and ten of my men went down. Con-
sidering numbers engaged, that was as
bloody a battle as you will find in mod
ern history"
Are cattle thieves the only people
you fight?" broke in one of the Cap
tain's audience.
"Officially, yes, not counting an oc-
casional brush with smugglers," he re-
piled, but nearly all of us have fought
for President Diaz Of Mexico. We did
it for practice-put 1t that way.
Almost every year the Yaquis let
out their overplus of exuberant spirits
by rising against the Mexican govern
ment. The YaQuis are not wild In
dams, merely-at least, they don't fight
that way. Among them are white ad-

From American Medicine.
In wounds of the heart itself the es-
cape Of blood is never in large guam
tity and the lethal consequences are
due to the fact that the escape of blood
from within it's cavity Cor cavities) in
to the surrounding sac Of the pericar-
dunn mechanically interrupts the alter
nate contraction and expansion by
which its pumping is maintained. Ac-
cordinly, the results of wounds OF the
heart are usually identical with those
of gradual suffocation. This fact was
strikingly demonstrated in the case of
the Empress of Austria. And the dia-
bolic skill and precision with which the
wound was inflicted in her case offer a
diagrammatic illustration of a neces-
sarily fatal wound of the heart.
The instrument used was too large
to form a mere needle puncture;" it
was inflicted too high in the chest to
be "nonpenetrating, for 1t was aimed
with truly finedish ingenuity at the
position of one of the thin-walled Of

The listeners turned from the mill
tiaman in uniform, who had been com
planning that a soldier had no chance
these days, to the sun-tanned military
looking man in civilian clothes.
"A week ago last night" he con-
tinued, II was in fight in which more
men were killed than in many of the
battles of the Spanish-American War.

the papers, as you would in a regular
war but you will get the experience.
If the press were to record all the
fighting going on down there, there
wouldn't be much show for any other
naws.
TITS a three-cornered sort of fight
that goes on along the Rio Grande, IN
which the Mexican rura1es, or regular
troops, the cattle thieves, smugglers
and frontier desperadoes and we Rang
ers form the three corners. Sometimes
we cross the border and help the Mex
icans sometimes the MeXicans come
over into American territory and take
hand in coralling some particularly
desperate band of cattle raiders. But
usually we do our own fighting and the
Mexicans theirs, each of us on our own
side of the Rio Grande.
THE cattle raiders and smugglers
are just as regularly organized as we
are, and they also fight according to
military tactics. Most of their lead
ers have held commissions in regular
armies, and they teach their men to
put up pretty stiff scrap. They come
across the Rio Grande, sometimes a
hundred strong, round in a herd of
cattle from the ranges, and before
dawn they are back again in Mexican
territory. Often we run into them, but
