bine TO make the average tribesman
Il natural born scout. SeCretiveness
is not the least essential of the at
tributes of the successful scout, and
seoretivoness has become instructive
with the Apache. The ability to melt
INTO the brown earth and to merge
with the gray rocks is his to a baf-
nlng degree. In the old days when
the Apachcs on the warpath gave our
troops so much trouble it was the
llrHt principle of the Indian fighter to
hght in what we have come to know
as true Indian fashion, sllulking from
one shelter to another and never eX-
posing the smallest portion of the
body. Indeed. these Indian warriors
had the present-day trench fighters
beaten to standstill in this branch
of military science. This knack of
capitali2ing the shelter of every rock
and tree has been translated into
terms Of modern trailing with rare
efficiency.
on top of the socrotiveness of the
Apache is that marvellous perception
of detail which makes for genius in
trailing. on this score no white man,

Of 1t long years before the name of

4 wonderful system of vast caverns
in the heart of the rock has been con-
structed, whereby the rainwater runs
off parts of the upper rocks, which
have been cemcnted smooth.
This water is conducted far down
below the surface of the ground into
immense rock caverns, whore the
water is cooled and preserved. Food
and powder there is in plenty but the
water must come from rain, which is
none too plentiful. 1t is said that suf-
fiCicnt water for the Gibraltar garri
son is hidden inside the heart of the
rocks to last the soldiers n whole year.
Food for three years is likewise stored
in the roCkhewn repositories of the
military authorities.
Aerial Railway on Cables

the Mediterranean, under war condi-
lions. Tho Gibraltar of more pleas

ing sufficient to tost the nerves of any
Alpine or Rocky Mountain enthusiast.
From the very center Of tho public
park there runs n double steel cable
reaching thousand feet into tho air,
where the cable tics into enormous
cement anchors This is the aerial
railway by which food IS sent MP to
tho artillery mon, tho signal watches
and those other moro secret guards
that hover night and day around the
most vital military features.
The cars swing dizzily from side to
side and make the soldiers sea-sick,
when the guards are changed. only
picked men arc allowed up there at
all: only tho choicest of the chosen
go in certain places. In one place,
The watch is never changed. and there
is no such thing as leave to be had.
Curiously enough men are jealous of
the honor OF serving there; and, if he

nary humanity.

Famous Prison Camp
Tho most vitality interesting spot on
Gibraltar rock is of course the ifrs-
oners' camping ground. It's the ono
place most thought of and least talked
about by wise people. The prisoners
camp is high up on top the great rock
in natural gully. In it are all sorts
of manners Of men. Some are known
enemies. some are only suspected and
a few, very few are prisoners cap
tured in open fighting.
There has never been known but one
successful attempt to escape from this
extraordinary place. Two prisoners

Furthermore, it is a safe guess that

days when the renegades were on tho
warpnth in Arizona that the Apachos
were better armed than their official
pursuers, and that the redmon carried
the best field glasses in the South
west. That policy persists With tho
average Apache who in the role of

The average man knows that Gil
braltar is a great towering rock set
up alone and solitary in the Attain

of Europe and Africa almost come
together. AS a matter of cold fact,
Gibraltar is connected with the span
ish mainland by a very good high
road and a broad strip of land that
has been created into a so-called ncu-
trail strip of territory.

even though fortified by the expert
cnCe of lifetime in scouting, has
ever proven the peer of the best
Apache trailers. The latter are alike
at homo in following scent over
rocky hillsides and through maZes OF
sand and dust. Not only have the
Apaches demonstrated an ability to
detect footprints so faint that none
ing party had been able to discover
heir presence, but they have piled
miracle upon miracle by figuring how
long a time had elapsed since such
a faint print was made.
The Apache Is emphatically an In
lividualist which makes. OF course,
for the ideal scout. He needs no
leader he worries not over lack or
counsel and advice, he suffers not from
loss of companionship. Self-suflicient
and self-reliant, keeping his own
counsel. he plays a lone hand in a
mastery manner. 10 surmiso how in
advisable is the solitary Apache bent
ON slcuthing, 1t is but necessary to
recall how invisible in the old days
were the banded Apaches on the war
path. For instance, during the raid
of Irlzana and his band in the autumn
of 1855, the Apache warriors were on
the rampage for seven weeks, during
which time they killed thirty eight
persons. Yet during that entire time
the troops and civilians that were con-
stantly in pursuit never caught sight
of so much as a single member OF
the raiding band.
Trailcrs, Tried and True
