of character, an unblemished reputation,

Molly Monroe has peculiar
history-a history of daring ad-
ventures in the land of the Aztecs.
1t was customary with Molly to
accompany all the leading scouts
against the common foe, the Apache.
Dressed in the uniform of the coun-
try at that day - buckskin pants,
with the usual appendages of beads
and fringes, broad -brimmed hat,
and armed with Henry rifle, two
six shooters, and bowieknife,
she was ready for the fray. And
when it came down to a good square
Indian fight, Molly was right there,
as many a one Of the Apaches
found to his cost. | shall never
forget an incident that happened
to our party of twenty when on a
scout against the Apache -Tontos,
where Molly showed cool nerve
and dauntless courage that saved
our party from almost total
annihilation. After a long DAYS
march through the Plnal Noun
tains, on a fresh trail, we went
into camp on Clear creek about
sundown, and had no more than
turned our horses loose and COM
menced preparing supper, when
our camp was surrounded by yelling
Indians. Already two of our NUM-
Der had bit the dust, and the rest
were in fair way to die or take
the alternate of surrendering and
being burned at the stake, when
Molly and Texas johnson, who had
Jagged few miles to gather some
mascal, appeared on a neighboring
hill, began shooting, at the same
time beckoning at an imaginative
party. The ruse had the desired
effect, for it threw the Indians into
confusion, and gave us chance to
gain the shelter of some bluffs close
by. Texas johnson and Molly,
after some hard fighting, succeeded
in reaching us. They had to aban.
don their horses and fight their
way on foot.


But Molly is known to the old
miners of the territory for other
qualities beside Indian fighting.
Wherever there was sickness or
want, she was sure to be the visiting
angel. And if she did not have
anything to give herself, she would
soon make collection of a couple
of hundred dollars from among her

home and friends to seek refuge

and lived in a smoky house, and

were afflicted with the collie. He
should have added to all this discip-
line a thorough knowledge Of
science and law, languages, theolo-

addition, he has a vicious looking
countenance and an amiable dispo-

the probabilities are, after all, that
they will worry him to death. This
