that many a time he had seen him
leave his force and, single-handed, at
tack a charging war party, always
coming back with some trophy Of his
! recklessness and usually with more
or less arrows decorating his body.
along with a choice assortment OF
slashes and bullet holes.
To try to enumerate the wounds this
man carried, or to tell In detail the
actions he had been in, would be to
rank one as the maddest romancer,
but the truth Is that Arollo's daily life
far surpassed the conceptions in des-
perate adventure of the widest 70.
mancer. Ask any old-timer Of the days
of 1S61-1S65; he will bear me out.
Arollo led Captain Sheldon north
west through the mountains, making
a detour around Pinos Altos ard
avoiding all roads and trails, until,
always working we'll ahead of the
command, he sighted Mangus's scouts
lying alcng the crests of outer spurs
of the range and spying out the conn
try below, precisely like lions Turk
along the brink Of naked desert butte
crests, marking down their victims
and the easiest route to stalk them.
With a redskin in sight, or any 9TH
er situation which promised a chance
of a fight, Arollo was always like a
raging, tugging hound in leash. 1t IS
therefore easy to realize how 1t must
have CALLED him to carry out orders
and signal Mangus's scouts peace and
parley signs instead of charging
straight into them.
Arollo never d%isobeyed orders any
more than he shirked a deadly hazard
Gus duty, and so he rode straight for
ward, up into the outpost OF the
Apache stronghold, with hand raised,
palm forward, in the usual sign OF
peace. And doubtless it was nothing
but the sheer establishment OF the In
dams that saved his life.
No Indian harms the demented,
holding him as touched by the Great
Spirit and under his protection, and
certainly they must have though that
none but a crazy man would deliber-
ately cast himself within the power
of Mangus's %implacable hatred alike
of American and Mexican.
He was blindfolded and led back
still deeper into the heart OF the
range, where. in one of the wide and
level open glades n finds In the
Rockies at the top Of the most pre-
cipitous and nearly impossible gorges
he found Mangus's village, and was
brought into the old chiefs presence.
The village must have numbered at
least two or three thousand, for the
little b%eehivelike wickiups, built OF
slender boughs stuck in the ground
and intertwined at top, the only shell
ter these nomads enjoyed when on the
march or the war-path, filled all the
glade and overlooked among the sur
rounding pines.
