"Injuns broke out" gasped the cow boy. There's a whole slew of 'em comin' down on Roberts ranch; I tried to git away an give the alarm but they shot me in the shoulder"
 Grizzly Joe sprang to his comrades side. There's just one thing to do, Charley" he said, tersely. Rouse the boys, get out the horses an have some one take care of this poor chap. Then you collect as big posse as you can; I'll put out for the fort an get the soldiers an you meet us where we strike the trail from there to the Roberts ranch"
 Comanche Charley dashed off to the stable. and Grizzly Joe turned to- wards Flames with a look of hesita- tion. The latter grasped the frontiers mans hand impetuously.
 "Joe,' he said, you will take me with you? Great heavens, I must go. l know what you are thinking of, but I'm changed man from this moment, and if we get through this I will be one all the rest of my life"
 His companion looked at him for a moment in silence. Well, he said at last 'I allow it's sent to you to go, and I cant deny you"
 In few moments time they were off, just as Comanche Charley struck spurs into his horses Hanks and gal loped in the other direction Not a word passed between the two for awhile, as they rode straight towards tall branchless tree on the crest of the rise up which they were racing. Soon they saw the descent on the other side. and standing out against the side of a hill at the extremity of

himself had been present. They rode together for some time. and Flames endeavored to gain some information from him as to their probable course of action.
 'l had word or two with Grizzly before we started" said the lieuten- ant. Il made his acquaintance last year up at Fort Fetterman. He told me that the ranch lies on the farther side of an isolated hill and close under it. l suppose he has suggested to the major to make the approach screened by this hill, and thus unseen, divide and charge on the redskins Joe is just the boy for expeditions of this kind; there isn't scout living under stands his business better"
 They were making steady progress. but an impatient desire to push on at top speed had taken possession of Flames, and when they had ridden about half an hour he could not help asking his new-found friend if they were not soon going to quicken their pace.
 You see that hill ahead of us," re- sponded the lieutenant with cheer ful grin. That is our objective point, and when the major thinks we are In close enough you can rest assured that he will make the pace quite swift enough to suit you"
 Joe had been riding close to the commanding officer, in eager conyer- sation with him. Just at this moment he drew away; the major turned, all order was given, and in a second all were in furious gallop. There. straight ahead, stood the square hill.

a plain, the white buildings of the fort. As they traversed the plain at furious speed Joe turned to Flames and seized the English hunting-crop the latter held in his hand. Binding a white handkerchief to the end of 1t, he began signaling the fort and soon there came response from flag waved high in the air.
 Lucky I learned that signal rack et." said the frontiersman, as he made cuts in different directions with his eXtemporized flag; it'll save us near ly fifteen minutes"
 On they galloped swiftly toward the whitewashed buildings, with the star ry flag flying over them. Suddenly they heard the sharp report of a howitzer, the signal to the men herd ing the troop horses on the plain out side to stampede them to the fort. In few moments more they dis mounted in front of the adjutants of fee on the piazza of which stood the major of the tn cavalry The commanding officer advanced and greeted them brusquely.
 We made out your signals" he said Now where Is the placer"
 Grizzly Joe explained hurriedly, and the major nodded comprehendingly.
 All right" he said; you can tell me the rest as we go along"
 He motioned to his adjutant, who gave the word to the trumpeter. and the clear, resonant notes of Boots and saddles" rang loudly across the plain.
 Some one found Flames and Joe fresh horses, and with jingling of spurs and rattling of accoutrements the force debouched upon the plain Eames did not keep his place by his friends side, but leaving aim to guide the column fell back to a humber po- sition. As he did so, one of the lieu tenants of the second company nodded to him pleasantly, and he recognized the officer as a young fellow who had graduated at West Point when he

It's only 20 miles. an splen- did moonlight night, an when you get there you'll have good beds and good grub. An then tomorrow, my pard here and me we'll put out and find your brother, who 1 allow has been for two weeks up to ranch farther on, and hasn't got your letter, an I'll fetch him to you"
 When this project was communi- cated to Mir Flames, to whom the se- verest drawback in his journey had been the poor accommodations, he agreed to it at once. While he and his daughter were eating their supper, and after Comanche Charley had mounted his broncho and ridden out in the direction of pass in the noun tains, Grizzly Joe had two horses har- messed to blackboard. So in due time they started. and Iris said to herself that she would never forget that 20- mile drive through the great canyon in the Sierra Madre, with the moon light ing up one of its wooded sides and this remarkable frontiersman con ducting them on their journey As for him, when the girl and her father were safely ensconced in comfortable rooms in old Buck Roberts ranch, he stood outside in the bright moonlight, and his eyes turned more than once towards the building, and at last, as he walked away, he cast one glance behind him and said:

six-shooter received a blow on the knuckles of the hand which held it, and the weapon fell to the floor.
 "That'll be all from you for while" said the newcomer harshly. Let me see you make another move with that shootin' iron of yours, an I'll blow your head off. Any more of you gents got anything to say agen them or ders?"
 He confronted the remainder of the crowd as he spoke, his gun balanced carelessly in his right hand but there was no reply. Grizzly Joe had earned a reputation that extended far beyond Wolf City, and was not to be trified with. He touched Eames on the shoulder and beckoned him outside, the young man following meekly.
 Later in the day the two sat facing each other on benches outside the door of log cabin. At some distance sat Comanche Charley, his head buried in his hands. Flames listened sumissively to the words of his stall wart companion.
 You know, Harry" said Grizzly Joe, I've tried to do the square thing by you and keep you from the com pany of that devils crew down on the Fork. But when l got on the train an saw that sweet little sister of yours, an she lookin at me with them big, innocent eyes, an askin' bout you, why blame me If I didn't feel as if l hadn't looked out for you worth a cent. An, say, Harry, 1t aint too late. She don't know nor suspect nothin'. You must brace up now, an never agen-"
 He stopped and listened attentively. There was a sound of galloping hoofs, and man rode madly into sight-a cowboy with his left arm hanging helpless by his side. The horse, pant ing and covered with foam, halted ab- ruptly, and Comanche Charley sprang to catch the rider as he reeled in the saddle.
 What is it, Bill?" he asked.

CamcIs liz Arizona Desert.

b. l.. Lothrop and Henry De Silva
arrived here today from Phoenix
Ariz., with news of having sighted
two of the old government camels
near Quartzite Wednesday. The ami
mails were headed for the bottom
lands of the Colorado river. When
sighted they were less than a quar-
ter of a mile distant. Both men
trained field glasses upon the beasts
to be certain of their discovery.
Lothrop states that year ago he
met three of the camels near the
Colorado river. They made off at a
rapid rate on his approach.
The men will arrange to return
to the region in the hope of captur-
ing the animals and placing them in
one of the national parks.
The camels were brought to this
country in 1860 by the government
to aid in the military department.
There were twenty-one of them.
They failed of their purpose and
were turned loose to die.
At frequent intervals reports have
been received about them. but their
number has gradually dwindled and
il is believed that the two sighted
by Lothrop and DeSilva are the last
of them.-San Bernardino CORES
