to Fort Bowie to see Gen. Miles and
to tell him that we wished to return
to Arizona; but before these messen.
gers returned l met two Indian scouts
-kayitah, a Chokonen Apache. and
Marteen, a Nedni Apache. They we're
serving as scouts for Capt. Lawton's
troops. They told me that Gen. Miles
had come and had sent them to ask
me to meet him. So | went to the
camp of the United States troops to
meet Gen. Miles.
Gen. Miles Promises.
when | arrived at their camp
went directly to Gen. Miles and told
him how / had been wronged and I
wanted to return to the United States
with my people, as we wished to see
our families, who had been captured
and taken away from us. Gen. Miles
said to me: The president of the
United States has sent me to speak to
you. He has heard of your trouble
with the white men, and says that If
you will agree to few words of treaty
we need have no more trouble. Ge-
ronimo, IL you will agree to few
words of treaty all will be satisfac-
torily arranged
Then he talked with me for long
time and told me what he would do
for me In the future If would agree
to the treaty. l did not hardly believe
Gen. Miles, but because the president
of the United States had sent me word
| agreed to make the treaty and to
keep 1t. Then l asked Gen. Miles what
the treaty would be- Gen. Miles said
to me: I will take you under govern
ment protection. l will build you
house. l will fence you much land.
l will give you cattle, horses, mules
and farming implements. You will be
furnished with men to work the farm,
for you yourself will not have to work.
In the fall / will send you blankets
and clothing, so that you will not suf-
fer from cold in the winter time.
"'There is plenty of timber, water
and grass in the land to which / will
send you. You will live with your
tribe and with your family. If you
agree to this treaty you shall see your
family within five days
Agreed to Make Treaty.

sounds like a story to me; hardly
believe you. He said: This time 1t

demanded, rs the beaten wife much
hurt? And who beat her, the squire
or the coachman?"
THE coachman, my dear, since
you've heard so much; but it's not a
Yleasant subject for little girls"
Mellory looked at the parson with
some scorn, then slowly and with dig
nifty left the room
Aunt Susan gave sigh of relief as
the door closed. "She IS my nephew's
only child, and lost her mother two
years ago. She is always with him,
and terribly spoilt."
Then they changed the subject, and
both Mellory and the squire were for
gotten.
Mellory, however, didn't forget Full
ly conscious of her influence in her
own sphere, where she ruled Dad and
the friends who frequented the big
studio, with rod of iron, she decided
to go herself to demonstrate with the
squire. IN teach him it's horrid to
beat wives-anybody's wife," she said
to herself, and she trotted down the
road The squires big gates stood
open, and she turned down the drive,
which seemed very long. But present.

The squire is a terrible old MANI
said the new parson, shaking his head.
Il pointed out to him that for his
coachman to beat his wife causes a
scandal in the village, and implored
him to remonstrate."
And what did he say?" asked Aunt
Susan.
"Oh, he smiled politely, and begged
TO point out that he had interfered be-
tween a man and his wife more than
once in his life, and that trouble had
always come of It; therefore he in
tends to interfere no more. It seems
the man Jeffs is kind enough to his
wife when he's sober"
The new parson looked inquiringly
at Aunt Susan. She, too, shook her
head. remarking:
THE squire is incorrigible This
very ooachman got drunk last election
day. So the squire pulled him off the
box, and put him inside the carriage.
Then, mounting the box himself, he
called out to the crowd-there's always
crowd outside the Kings Arms on
election day-'He's driven me home
many times when I've been drunk, so
now I'll drive him home!' and so he
did"
That was kind" answered new
voice, clear, young voice.
Aunt Susan started. "Why. Mellory,
child, did not know you were here.
Run away, dear; don't want you just
now"
But Mellory ignored her aunt, and,

reservation we would be put in prison

leo they would continue to send sol
diers to fight u.s. so we gave no quar-
ter to any one and asked no favors.
After some time we left Gosoda
and soon were reunited with our tribe
in the Sierra de Antunez mountains.
skirmishing Every Day,
Contrary to our expectations the
United States soldiers had not left
the mountains in Mexico, and were
soon trailing us and skirmishing with
us almost every day. Four or five
times they surprised our camp One
time they surprised us about nine
o'clock in the morning, captured all
our horses (19 in number) and secured
our store of dried meats. We also
lost three Indians in this encounter.
About the middle of the afternoon of
the same day we attacked them from
the rear as they were passing through
a prairie-killed one soldier, but lost
none ourselves. In this skirmish we
recovered all our horses except three
that belonged to me. The three horses
that we did not recover were the best
riding horses we had.
soon after this scouts from Capt
Lawton's troops told us that he wished
to make treaty with us; but knew

this report, knew that II was untrue.
Then l agreed to go back with him to

me to be put in prison or to be killed
In case l offered resistance.
I'VE started with all our tribe to go
with Gen. Crook back to the United
states, but feared treachery and con-
cluded to remain in Mexico. We were
not under any guard at this time.
The United States troops marched in
front and the Indians followed and
when we became suspicious we turned
back. l do not know how far the
United States army went after myself
and some warriors turned back before
we were missed, and | do not care.
Capt. Lawton in the Field.
Soon Gen. Miles was made COM
mander of all the western posts, and
troops trailed us continually. They
were led by Capt. Lawton, who had
good scouts. The Mexican soldiers
also became more active and more
numerous. We had skirmishes almost
every day, and so we finally decided
to break up into small bands. With
six men and four women l made for
the range of mountains near Hot
Springs, New Mexico. We passed
many cattle ranches, but had no trou-
BILE with the CoNboys. We killed cat
tie to eat WheN9V,. We were in need
of food, bat we frequently suffered
greatly for water. At one tine we
had no water for two days and nights
and our horses almost died from thirst.
We ranged in the mountains of New
Mexico for some time; then, think
ing that perhaps the troops had left
Mexico, we returned. On our return
through Old Mexico we attacked every
Mexican found, even if for no other
reason than to kill We believed they
had asked the United States troops to
come to Mexico to fight us.
South of Casa Grande, near a place
called by the Indians Gosoda, there

There was much freighting carried on
by the MeXicans over this road.
Where the road ran through noun

as His Second Term.

1t was announced at Washington, D.

before starting on his Panama trip
took occasion at a White House con
ference to again strongly reiterate his
public announcement that no combina.
ton of circumstances could induce him
to become a candidate for reelection

to frequent publications which declar-
ed the president to be the logical man
to lead his party to victory. The presi-
dent, in declaring that he had not
changed his mind, expressed apprecia.
ton of the compliment implied. He
said that while the suggestion was
no doubt made in all sincerity, it was
embarrassing because it created the
impression that he could be swayed
decision to retire at the conclusion of
his present term was irrevOCable. The
president subscribed to the time hon
cred tradition that the president of the
United States could not serve more
than two terms. He regarded this as
his second term. He secuted the sug.
gestion that the policies he had been
pursuing could not, or would not, be
carried tostheir conclusion by his sue
Cessor, whoever he might be.
Late Message From Voyagers.
According to wireless messages re-
ceived at the White House from the
battleship Louisiana, President Roose-
welt and party are experiencing fine
weather and greatly enjoying the trip.
The president and Mrs. Roosevelt
are greatly enjoying the trip, spending
a great deal of time on deck.

speed and the impact wrecked both of
them completely. A number OF the

Sends Machine to Call at Business Ad-
dresses of Depositors.
The Night and Day bank of New
York has started an innovation which,
it is, expected, will please business
men who make late deposits To
make late collections and to avoid the
risk of sending deposits to the bank
by messengers, the bank officials have
had built a specially designed auto
mobile, containing a huge safe, which
will call on all regular depositors.
Each depositor who desires to have
his money taken to the bank by the
collector, receives a metal dispatch
box, numbered and enclosed in a leath-
er case. In this he puts his currency
and checks, and when the machine
comes around he turns the box, lock-
ed, over to the messenger, who gives
him a receipt for the'bo Contents
unknown"
On the stub of the duplicate receipts
which the messenger is to take back to
the bank is memorandum of the
bOX's contents. When the messenger
gets the box he drops it into an auto
mobile safe. AS the safe is built like
letter box, the deposit boxes can not
be removed save by some one know
ing the combination of the safe. At
the bank the boxes are taken out and
the receipts checked off with the de-
post slip that has been locked in the
box
