Mr. Hawley I cannot see the reasonableness of this resolution." "You look only on your own side of the matter,” said the grntlenmn, blundly. "If I had other daughters to dispose of in lxnal-riage, I might be more lcment.” “How Hawley has changed 2” thought Mr. Danforth, as he went out- ; “I did not seem to breathe freely in his presence. \Vell, my errand was indeed hopeless ; poor Edward 3 I must take him away from here.

He rose in the morning mn‘efreshed, and thought that he would take a short walk before breakfast, after which he decided to leave in the noon train. New streets had been b11iii~~il broad piece of waste land turned into a green square, fenced by a neat iron railing, and bordered by fast growing ehus; the house where his own short, unquiet- days of married life had passed still stood, the old evergreens shading the entrance. the. snow lying thick over what had been the garden : it. struck him as the only place left unchanged by the Wear of tWenty years. “Several workmen were busy with their spades in enlarging :L cellar for some new building. as he retrnced his steps by an opposite way to that from which he had come. Just as he neared them, one of the number dropped his pickax, with a loud exclanmsion, and the others stood transfixed. “ A skeleton, Marks, and no mistake 3 There's been some foul work here 3" Danforth stepped up and looked over. It was the head of :1 skeleton, which the erovul of the bro-Kn mould had uncovered. “What building stood asked, breathlessly. “An ofiice, sir. It has just been torn down.” Cnm’mn Y. Ma. HEnKnmu sat in his ofiivo read- ing his brief for the morrow. The old cheerful look of a. mind at peace with its surroundings and happy in itself had quite gone out of the young man’s face, leaving in its stead the painful lines of suffering and a gloom which might not soon pass away. it his elbow, thrust away under a heap of lawyer-like parchments, lay a daintily-written note, which bore Mrs- Hawley's signature. Constance had re- ceivecl his letter, but it was the last which must pass between them; her husband had given his orders to that effect, and she felt sure that Mr. Her- kimer would respect their mutual wishes, and see that the matter was at an end. It was very cruel, he felt so with his whole heart ; they loved each other and there was no real obstacle of a grain’s weight to come between them. “ W'lxy, father I” he exclaimed, ur- hested by his pallid appearance. “ \\ hat has happened? Are you ill ?You have just gqme from C n. .1 A 15," 3! _.:.1 c The law is a, slow professionâ€"save in the rarest casesâ€"but Herkimer had never relized the fact until this night. A rap came at his door, a late visiior, and he got up, but not/in time to give admission to his father. “ I have just left the station.” said Mr. Danforth, trying to speak in his natural tone, but his voice had the brokenness of agitation. “1 have made a most terrible discovery ; it re- labes to Hawley.” "'fiekkimex- dr’opped the brief be had held in his hand, and looked earnestly at his father. “ I have told you of your uncle’s dis- appearance; of the fraud he was said to have perpetrated4it turns out that he was murdered 2’” Til‘éigoung man turned white, and sat down, leaning his face upon his hand. . His father took the chair opposite, and went on, in a lower voice: “ In my visit to Mr. Hawley I re» cognizzed him at first sight as my brother’s former parf-neg'; his agitation ha-rn he on seeing me was singular and unac- countable."- He paused. “On my visit, to C m-w», I learned that this young lady to whom you have been paying your attentions is only his daughter by adoption, and hr-r real name Constance Dszorth." At any other time this announce- ment would have. (excited extreme sur- prise, but now the young man held his breath in suspense for the terrible finale which Was approaching. “This morning, in iffy walk through Câ€"â€"â€"â€"-â€", I came upon some workmen enlarging a collar in preparation for a 09»an an flirt/z page. One of the best known chamcters in south- ern Arizona is Billy Imn'g, one of the pluck- iest little scouts that; ever “pumped lead" into a. band of blood thirsty. throat cutting Indians. He was with Capt. Lam ton n ho rounded up that wily red skinned diplomat Geronimo. unzl did such splendid sex \ ice dur- ing the almost. endless chase after the Aluohe chief that he “as especially mentioned in the official rope: t of the campaign. The “Link: Scout." as ho is sumo: imes mlled, is a Texan by birth. and as far hack as he can remember he has been on the fron- tier driving cattle. fighting Indians and play- ing hide and seek with nature in Search of her precious melals. He is still young. being only 23 years old, yet he has the reputation of being quick on tbs trigger, and, it is said, he never misses what he draws on. Several years ago, when that well known pioneer, Charlie Benham, was making a great elfort to develop the silver mines of northern Mexico, be employed Billy to drive a stage running between the city of Hermo- sillo and one of his mining camps in the Cnnonea mountains. and also :9 act as wagon master for bullion trains coming in from the mines. Billy was employed in this capacityjn the spring of 1885, a: which time Geronimo and his band of renegade Apaches started on their bloody raid throi gh Sonora, The news of the fresh Indian outbreak was- i telegraphed from Arizona to Charlie Ben- ham nt Hermosillo, and he knew at once that his camp in the Can men mountains would be one of the first places raided, as it was situated in the very heart of an old Apache stronghold. An Indian outbreak had not been expected, and the men at the mines had only a few guns and were in utter ignorance of the impending danger. No time was to be lost, as the Indians were known to be : heading south and traveling day and night~ Selecting two of the best horses in his corral Benham bad one loaded with Win- chester rifles. Colt revolvers and mmnunizion, and begged Billy to make all haste in reachâ€" ing the unsuspecting miners in the moun- tains. It was a long. Innwsome ride, through a. rugged country, but: Billy was eager to make the trip. He had passed over the trail soofton that every landmark was familiar to him, and lie. pridwl himself that he could find his way on the darkest night. He Set out from Hermosillo late in the afternmu. All that night he rode and the next day and the next night. never stopping to sleep or give his animals a moment‘s rest. On the morning of the second day he reached the foothills of the Cnnonea mountains. twelve miles from the camp. His horses were badly jaded and he was beginning to felt the effects: of his long ride himself. A small water hole was reached, where there was an abund- ance of grass, and he stopped and let his horses graze an hour or two. l/eisurely ho saddled up, and was just preparing to mount», when he noticed his horse watching some- thing in the distance. Billy turned in the direction his horse was looking and discovered a band of Indians scarcely half a mile away, coming over a low hill which had hitherto shut them out from view. The Indians were not long in sighting him, and began spreading out to encircle him. Billy divined their intentions, and, knowing that an open fight against such odds would be certain death, mounted his horse and started on a dead run toward the mouth of a big canyon, through which passedthe trail leading up to the mining camp. For some minutes there was an excitâ€" ing chase. with Billy in the lead and the Apaches rapidly gaining. His homes were too badly tired to hold out long. He knew the animals, if left to themselves, would make their way to camp, and, dismounting at the mouth of the canyon. pulled the bridles of! the horses and giving each one a sharp blow with the reins, headed them for the camp. ing to make a fight and dismounted. Under cover of rocks and bushes they began to claw: in on the pile of rocks where he had taken refuge. This was by no means Billy’s fimt fight with Apaches, and he knew just what be expect. He knew they would lamp them. selves carefully concealed and wait to catch him ofl’ his guard, and he determined to fight them according to their own tacties. He me- ceeded in making his way unobserved to a. high pile of rocks further up the canyon, and from this point. he got a better view of what, was going on below. Soon he discovered an Indian creeping along under cover of a little knoll. The Ixidiaus, who had been watching closely all that was taking place, saw Billy was go. The chance could not be missed, and with the sharp crack at the little Scout's “finches;- ter a good Apache died. A volley from all sides answered the shot, but the bullets only flattened on the rocks close around and, with- 911: harming him, sung unpleasantly close to his ears. For three hours this trying fight kept up, when the clatter of hoois up the canyon told that aid was coming, and the In- dians, who were not to be taken by all-prise, hastily made 011’, carrying a number of. dead bucks with them. Billy’s timely arrival saved many miners who were scattered around through the mountains from being surprised and mur- dered. The Indians continued to hover around the place, and it was unsafe for any one to venture outside of adobe walls. Soon after the first Indian raid Benham was murdered in Hermosillo by one of his drivers, and this event, coupled with the uncertainty of life in the mountains, caused the Canonea mines to be abandoned. Billy being out of employ- ment, asked for and received a position as scout and guide for the forces which had been sent in pursuit of Geronimo: While serving as courier for Lawton’s tamous B Troop, of the Fourth cavalry, he soon at- tracted the attention of army ofiicers by the daring rides which he made alone through mountain rangeswhich were known to be tulloi'hoefllelndiane. Hewassent on many dangerous missions, and, although he had some very narrow escapes. he was fortunate enough to pass through the campaign un- harmed. On one occasion Billy. with two other scouts and {our soldiers, was sent from Fort Huachuea, in Pima counw, A. T., to join Lama’s command, which was supposed to be somewhere in the Azul mountains in Sonora. One of the soldiers was a halt breed Sioux, who had just enlisted in the north- west and been sent down to join the Fourth cavalry. At the peat the fellow was so unruly that every one was glad to get rid of him, and it was hoped that some hard experiences in actual service would quiet him down. He had hardly got out of sight of the fort before he became very boisterous, refused to recog- nize any one’s authority. and made himself generally disagreeable. He brought along with him two bottlesot whisky, which he fre» quently sampled, and at the end of the first day’s journey he was in a beastly state of intoxication. He did not change his conduct next dav or the dev following, and everV- HZLLY, THE scam. 50 C0115 (z Il'm‘ 1'11 - Ia’vmm'. body begun to feel that :mttv:rs were (an approaching a Cl‘i‘ifi.

In the summer of 1886 Billy had a romantic and thrilling: experience down in the Min of Saueripi some 32h) :11:le south of the bor- der lim. Avcmngnnied by another scout he had been sent to gather up some gova'nment stock which had been left behind. Their route was south to the town of Saucripi. capital of the district and from there to Bacanom a. little town in the mountains about forty milos further to the rat. It was their intention to locate all the stray stock 0.: their wav do .m and to pick them up as they returned by the same trail. Arriv- ing at Saucripi they put up at the house of an old American pbvsician who had lived in the place many years.

A number of Mexican girls emxieto enjoy a. moonlight dance with the two gringos, who spoke ver} little Spanish but who knew all about a Mexican dance. Billy looked his best in a suit of buckskin, and his graceful butting was enough to captivate any woman's heart. He impressed all present. but them was one in particular who showed very plainly bx her actions that she had s4» rionstly fallen in loxe. This was Senorita Carolina. a tall graceful girl not more than 1% 393m of a re.

The old doctor, who was “mu-hing with evident in- ternal; all that was going on. noticed the girl‘s actions and twiml Billy about, his “monkey faced" sweetheart. “'heu fin- cmwd dispenzcd Billy was still joked by hi - comgmnions, and poor Carolina was inva- riably spoken of as "m-mkcj.’ face."

Aocomplisbing their n1i§iou at Bacanorn. the two men started on their return trip. driv- ing three or four horses before them. Tin-y had covered about half the distance to Saucy-i- pi, and were jogging leisurely along through the mountains when they mined up short on hearing the report of guns not very far ahead. Immcxliatcly afterward the)" sax-.- a. woman mounted on horseback dashing up the trail towards them. “What in the 32â€" do you reckon that is?” exclaimed Billy in astonishinent as he and his companion hastily dismounted and got their “‘inchesmrs ready. “It’s some grease: tryin’ to kill his wife. I guess." was the nonchulant response. but a. amument later, as the woman came near enough for her features to be diminguished, Billy cried out: ‘ “if it ain‘t my monkey face you can have my hat.” The woman was no“ only a few )nrnls away and it could plain.y be seen that Hm bosom of her plain calico m was 3mm! mth blood.

The two scouts “pumped lead” lively for a few minutes, and tho Amhes, who were completely taken by surprise. could not take to the rocks befom three of their number had been killed out- righe and several others wounded. Once under cover it was next to impossible to get; a glimpse of an Apache again. and after waiting in vain for several minutes for nume- thing to shoot at.
