Tonic, fighting at his fathers side,
saw the brave Chief fall. Dropping his
bow, the Indian boy crouched quickly
at the stricken leaders side. The Chief
was gravely wounded. Tonic saw that
death was but a matter of moments.
He was only vaguely aware of the fact
that the Apaches had closed in, and
that the fighting now was h~and-to-hand.
Tomahawks and knives gave way to
naked fists. Shrill screams of rage rent
the air. Cries of wounded horses as
they kicked and threshed about the
ground were mixed with war cries and
yells Of joy as the Apaches saw victory
within their grasp.

confusion. Oblivious to all that went

c n APTER I

The fierce Apaches shouted wild war
cries as they raced madly down the hill
and into the valley where Tonto's peo-
pie had lived so many years IN peace.
The bodies of the attackers, half naked,
were painted with brilliant colors.
Scalps dangled from their belts and
saddles as grim mernentos OF previous
depredations.
Tonto's father, the Chief of the val
ley Indians, gave a signal. His follow
ers dropped to the ground, crouching
behind their horses in something OF a
circle around the aimsy fortress OF
skins and pelts which surrounded the
women and children.
The Apaches were the first to fire.
The foremost of these savages had re
hes captured from white wagon trains.
Though unskilled in the use of firearms,
the Apaches were nevertheless able to
inAict great damage by aiming point
blank into the small group OF Tontos
people. They formed a great circle:
riding madly around the defenders and
firing as they rode. The circle constant
~ grew smaller, but was still so large
that the arrows of the valley tribe were
of little use. Heavy leaden slugs squirt
ed dust from the ground on all sides.
Other bullets tore through the fort and
found a mark in members Of the tribe
who could not fight.
Then Tonto's father gave the order
to begin firing. Arrows arched through
the air toward the Apaches. Some
spilled from the saddle but the gaps
were quickly closed and the ever-di-
minishing circle continued the death
ride.

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.


This rare and brilliantly colored
wader of the South is one OF our
most rosy-hued large birds. They
are known from Texas, Louisiana,
Florida and Georgia south to Pata-
gonia and the Falkland Islands.
Some call these birds pink cur
lew, others rosy spoonbill. In
length they are about 80 inches,
and the general appearance of the
plumage Is pink with slight car
mine touch The small feathers on
the shoulders are a bright carmine
The upper neck and back are white.
The tail is brownish yellow, with
patch of the same color on the sides
Of the breast.
Bald-h -headnesS runs in the family.
The shiny pate is either dull green,
orange or black. The bill also varies
somewhat in color, being various
shades of green, blue, yellow and
black. The legs are always lake red
the eyes carmine. The wings and
under parts are a beautiful deep
rose pink.
For a while things looked pretty
dark for Rosy and his family. The
plume hunter just could not spare
these birds. Then legal protection
stepped in and once again the
rosy-bills are bringing back their
numbers in the States where they
are valued for picturesqueness and
for their value as live birds rather
than poorly preserved specimens
behind glass doors.
Spoonbills are socially inclined
and travel together in f1ocks. They
sometimes form long diagonal lines.
The formation is quite unusual,
