rraversed the old Santa Fe highwa,
alone. the Major and Colonel Horton
had led the columns of troops which
went in search OF the terrible Apaches,
and to them was given a great deal of
the credit for routing these rowing
bands.
During the years that had passed he
had seen, and taken part in. some of
the most important fighting in his
country's history. He had known the
tremendous joy which comes with vic
tory and the depression which accom-
papies defeat. There had been battles
from which he and his company had
emerged without the loss of single
man. On the other hand there had
been times when he led only u few,
discouraged and disheartened men
from the field; remnants of his com
pany. But, never, during all his years
as a soldier, until now, had he suffered
such an overwhelming defeat. For,
of the POO men that had made up
his little company, not single
one of them had survived the on
slaught of these Mexicans. but
himself. Never had he been called
upon to send in such report as the
one he would have to give to Wash
ington on the fight at Diablo Pass.
AS he stared at the bodies of his
| troopers his mind seemed to become
dazed. He wondered whether il was
| all q reality or the result of his
wound. Perhaps he was still uncon-
scious and was looking on this ter
rible scene in his dreams. Weak and
haggard, from long nights and days OF
exposure in the open accompanied by
lack of food; his courage gone; his
heart heavy; he presented a picture OF
deep misery And, as he gazed at
the blood of the youths great tears
came to his eyes, and he permitted
them to roll down his burned cheeks
At that instant he would have giveI
his life to have been able to save
them. 1t seemed travesty of wal
that he should be allowed to live ant
they to die. They were young men
many of them; men who were needed
by their mothers, their wives, their sis
tiers and their sweethearts. Thu
world needed them to assist in carry
ing on it's affairs, but, when a maj
reaches his age, there Is little lef
for him to do. In the years that hat
gone he believed it the duty of ever,
man. whether young or old, to be read
to surrender his life, at an instant
notice, for his country. But now a

expression of what on earth shall
do with it, and where shall / store it?T
In these days of elimination of the nom
essentials we need to study the art
of gift giving and present appropriate
and pleasing gifts to our friends. This
can be done. but it takes thought, not
indiscriminate buying.
There are so many good things than
we never think Of that would be so
much more pleasing to our friends than
the gifts we usually give. Do YOU
make nice doughnuts? A box of two
dozen nutty brown doughnuts would
never go begging In many homes. Such
box may be arranged with as much
of the festive air of Christmas as the
taste of the giver desires.
1t is always a good plan to have
a shelf or drawer in the attic where
all boxes may be kept through the
year. They are then ready for gifts
of any size and in leisure moments one
may cover them with pretty wallpaper.
making quite elegant boxes which. il
bought, would cost quite q sum.
If you have girl or boy friend at
boarding school, too far away to get
home, don't forget the box of goodies.
No one knows, unless he has felt il.
how such gift warns the cookies of
the heart.
A plum pudding wrapped in lace pa-
per and tied with red ribbons, with \
bunch of holly or wintergreen makes
a happy gift. Fruit cakes may be
baked weeks before packed in soft
brown sugar to keep moist. ANY ar
tractive kind of cookies. rocks. her
mits, are good. The macaroni letters
may be used to spell the childrnn's
names on little cakes. which gives
them keen delight. Jellies. canned
fruit, pickles or orange marmalade
wrapped tastefully and well marked,
are all most acceptable Christmas gifts.
For the ice cream, and what party
would be complete without that, small
new flower pots lined with waxed pa
per, may be filled with the cream and
the top sprinkled with chocolate graf
ed over it with a small daisy for the
flower.
Small cakes frosted and decorated
with the pretty candies, children al
ways enjoy.
