 SAVED CACHED WEALTH-JOhn Lane was before Justice Johnstone yesterday on a charge of drunkenness and disturbance of the peace. He was locked up on Saturday night and in consideration of the fact that he had spent two legal days in jail he was let off with fine of s, which he was curiOusly able to pay and still have money left to take him to the circus Yesterday morning as Lane was taken out of the jail he began to sJraighten out his crumpled hat, which was in bad shape by reason of its owner hay ing Been kicked about various saloons before he was arrested. While he was putting the hat into shape he saw something sticking up above the edge of the sweat band. He hardly dared to hope that it was what it seemed to be He hesitated in his investigation fearful that it would end in disap- pointment. But he took it up again and found a ten-dOllar bill.
 THE PIGEON BUSINESS-R H. Collins was in town yesterday. He was asked how his pigeons were com ing on. He replied that they were doing very well but he was not making a speciality of pigeons just now. He said that one could make a very good living raising pigeons for the Phoenix gun club, as he used to do, though the business is not now the graft it used to be when he rented pigeons to the club for a day at a time at the price the birds usually sold for. The mem bers of the club, MT. Collins said, have so improved in shooting that a good many of the pigeons come home crip- pied and now and then one of them is killed MT Collins said he had so much other business on hand that he does not care to bother with the pi- geons any more but he believes that one could still do very well, especially at this season of the year, when th- club will have frequent meets.

A noted oculist said of Health Ray spectacle and eye-glass lenses: Nat ural light is the best light that can shine into a persons eyes, and any material used for lenses that will prop erly correct the error of refraction, and at the same time transmit natural light to the eye, is the best lens.'
 Wouldn't you like to see proofs that Health Ray Lenses will transmit nat ural light, and that the lenses in your glasses are not transmitting that light2 I am prepared to show you.
 That the lenses in your glasses do not transmit the health giving light is not a fault of any Oculist or optician
 There are only two kinds of glasses Health Ray Lenses and regular lenses. The perfection of Health-Ray lenses has just been attained.

The captive dropped and the keeper attributed
it to these visits from his old master which perhaps
made him languish for the camp and his old days of
liberty. He died, leaving Gerard resolved to kill

Wild A n ais as Pets

X ERARD, the celebrated hon-hunter of .
IL Algiers once had pet hon named A
Hubert, which he caught when a cub
and raised till he was sent to the public gar
denS in Paris.
Hubert placed in the Jardin des P1antes
where sometime afterward Gerard went to see him.
He was lying half asleep, gazing with Indifference
all the visitors when suddenly he raised his
head, his eyes dated; nervous twitching of the
muscles of his face and the agitation of his tail
showed that the sight of the well-known uniform
had reused him. He had recognized the clothing,
but had not yet identified his old master. His
eyes vaguely interrogated this scarcely remembered
form. Gerard thrust his hand into the cage 1t
was a touching moment which followed Without
taking his eyes from Gerard, he applied his nose to
the outstretChed hand and began to breathe deeply
With every breath his eye became more affectonate
and when Gerard said to him, Well, Hubert my
old sodier!" he made terrible bound against the
bars of his prison. which trembled beneath his weight
Said Gerard afterwards " His rough tongue licked
with JOY my hand, while with his enormous paws
he tried to draw me gently to him. No sooner
did anyone approach the cage than he few out in
frghtful expressions of anger, which changed into
calmness and caresses on their retreating. 1t is

From our position could many miles of
valley, and in course of the morning there appeared
in the distance the Mexcans, followed by about
fifty horsemen, whom they had evidently recruited
at the little town of Wilcox. Geronimo, seeing
them came to and put himself and all his braves
under my command. At last the approaching party
got enough for the leader and l to shout to
each other across the rocks
You played dirty trick on us last night" he
called
Yes, and if l hadn't you and the others would

IN do nothing The Indians will do it all
They've got a good place here and outnumber you
three to one. If you come rod closer they will
shoot. I'm having hard work to hold them

went.
The next morning we started along the side
of the mountain toward San Carlos. Worn out
with much riding, and weak from lack of food, we
made slow progress the trai-one of the roughest

rising fears of treachery while went to the ranch
house with these strangers.
We are Mexican custom officers" announced
the spokesman when we reached the porch. These
Indians you've got here have brought three hundred
head of stock across the border and we've come
to collect duty them.
How much do you want?" I asked
Two dollars and half a head or seven hundred
and fifty dollars for the bunch We've come to get
the money the animals"
You've got your work cut out for you, l an
swered with a laugh and expression that would
not sound well in Sunday-school. We haven't

leader in peppery tone. We are here for business

Along in the morning, however, we saw small

glasses recognized Captain Crawford of the agency,
with some scouts behind.

keepers they attempted to separate the two.
When its old master finally left it, the animal be-

together resented the familiarities of visitors and
especially of strangers.
A catamount for some strange reason had taken
a fancy to a Cheyenne Indian. He followed his
master around like a dog when let out of confine-
ment obeying every wish or nod, but would allow
other person to approach him with offers OF
kindness anything else; but he would
leave his masters heels for any reason except at
the masters bidding. Often would he accompany
the buck into the post-trader's store, where his
entrance the signal for all dogs to get out and
for bipeds not acquainted with the situation to lose
no time in taking to the counters.
The officers of the post finally persuaded the
Indian to sell his pet, and as it was considered dan
gerous to have the animal go abroad with any
attendant save its old master, it was placed in
captivity

The MeXicans whispered together for a moment
and then accepted my offer. Davis came up while
| was showing them their quarters in an clubhouse
where there some spare beds for soldiers.
After we had seen guests safely slowed away we
retired to to discuss the situation.
We had little doubt that the McXcans, backed by
their own Government, would try to make good
their threat take the stock by force and we knew
that they could quickly gather together a large
enough band of greasers to make night. And yet
Geronimo had refused fatty to go ahead. Our
position seemed to be this: If we stayed where we
were, there would be bloodshed with ourselves con-
victed in the Apache mind Of treachery, as the first
victims in the carnival of death. If attempted
to force Geronimo to move on there would likewise
be fight, with ourselves again the first recipients
OF the scalpng attentions of the Indians. We were
too far from any post to hope for help in
time.
While talked plan came to me. The ranch
was near a wet season lake that had not entirely
dried up; but in which the water [ was pretty
sure was nowhere more than two feet deep The
distance across it was nine miles and only three
miles farther were the mountains, where we could
repuse any force OF MeXcans that could be mustered
quickly By crossing this lake, instead of following
the road around it, could save ten miles Of
travel and reach the protecting cliffs in the early
morning. Perhaps this piece Of strategy would
appeal to Geronimo | decided to go and ask him
He was wide awake in his tepee. When the horse

Indian named Bonita, to whom Geronimo was
friendly. and who was to break the news to him.
Bonita went up to the knoll and stood in silence
beside the Chief In little while he seated himself
and still kept silent. We were watching these
moves ,anXiously. At last he rose, came down
the hill again and explained to us that Geron-
imo would not notice him, and that the Apache
custom did not permit him to speak first to a
Chief
1t was then decided that l should undertake the
errand. | will confess that | far from easy in
mind when | climbing that little hill l felt
in fact, that life or death depended Geroni1nos
answer. But l walked up to him boldly and put
the matter to him bluntly He turned his eyes upon
slowly and said:
Your great white chief is good chief. He can
have my horses and cattle, because he will give
them back when he hears my words
| need hardly say that l felt relief The next
day we reached the agency, where Geronimo told
me he wanted to send telegram. He dictated it
about follows:
Il have been at war for my people went to
Mexico where the MeXicans took many of my
horses and cattle from me- killed many of my
followers, and took some of our women prisoners.
If they will give me my women, horses and cattle,
| will give them theirs"
After brief investigation, General Crook ordered
that Geronimo be given back his stock. My task
being done, was preparing to start back to Bowie,
when the Chief came to me, held out his hand, and
without a word put into mine beautifully beaded
buckskn bag.
