“WHAT IS IT’r” QUERIED THE MAJOR, greenbacks from the paymaster’s safe were always so brand new from the presses at Washington that the soldiers spread them out on their blankets and admired them for their artistic beauty. The pal-in aster had nothing of account to report when he reached the fort. He had followed the usual trail, made the usual number of miles j>er day and had arrived on the day he was expected and had planned it. His escort consisted of 10 men and a sergeant. It was the same escort he had had for two years, and he had no word of fault to find. The driver of the ambulance was a new man —a soldier who had lately reached Albuquerque. So far as his duties went, he appeared to he the right man in the right place. No, Major Horton had nothing to report that would have interested any one for half a minute. With the scout who had comedown from Fort Wingate the case was different, however. He should have started a day sooner. To make tip for lost time he had snatched only brief intervals of rest and reached Lyons so worn out that he had to be helped from the saddle. “I am satisfied,” wrote the commandant of Fort Wingate, “that a gang of renegade white men are in hiding somewhere on Horton’s route with the intention of attack. They will not hesitate to murder all hands to get possession of the safe. It is my advice that he double his escort from Lyons and take extra precautions against ambush. The gang numbers at least 20 men, several of whom are deserters, and all are thoroughly well armed.” ’’Pish!" exclaimed the paymaster as the message was placed in his hands. “There are 13 of us in the escort, and all can handle a winchester. They can't get half a dozen outlaws together in this whole territory for anything beyond cattle stealing. Twenty men, eh? That’s all nonsense! Much obliged to Scott, but I don’t propose to have the newspapers wondering if I have lost my nerve and suggesting that I enter the railroad service!” "I can spare you 10 men,” said the colonel in command at Fort Lyons, “and there may be more in this story than you allow for. Scott must have got things pretty straight, or he wouldn’t have rushed a man down here after this fashion.” “Much obliged to both of you, but if the 13 of us can’t pull through we’d better go into the laundry business.” Major Horton had been "tried out” on various occasions anti found to be all nerve. He was naturally of a peppery disposition ami acted on impulse. That Colonel Scott should send him such a message seemed to reflect on his judgment and courage, and if he hail bet a certain that a hundred outlaws awaited him he would have refused to increase the strength of his escort. Next day the garrison was paid off. On the next, before daylight was an hour old, Major Horton wtis on his way up the San Jose river, which has its rise in the Zuni mountains. On the night previous the commandant had said to him: “Look here, Horton, I want you to do me a favor. We buried Sergeant Johnson here about a month ago. He was a married man, and his widow has relatives up at Wingate and wants to get there. Why can’t yon take her along?” “Women have no business out here,” gruffly replied the major. “But that doesn’t help me out. They were married long enough before he came here, and ahe’s a woman liked and respected by all. I can’t send her up with those rough freighters, nor do I wish to detail an escort for that purpose. Give her a seat in the ambulance and help me ont.” The major growled and swore, hut finally consented. He meant to from the first, but that was his way. He had his mind made up to see a gaunt, red faced pos\ laundress, with a cloak made of a condemned overcoat and a dress maim factored from a Mexican blanket, but a surprise awaited him. The widow was neither gaunt nor red faced, and she was as tidily clothed as if she had just come out from Albuquerque. She was a woman of 80. fairly good looking and quiet spoken, and though she had been “only a sergeant’s wife” the major instantly decided that it was another case where love had been blind to the prestige of shoulder straps. He overhauled the ambulance to make it more comfortable and was really fnuch obliged in his heart to the commandant for making the proposition. The ambulance was not exactly an ambulance, but a covered vehicle made on ourpose to

carry the extra welgnt * the sate and stand the rough roa a connecting the military posts of New .'exico. The major shared his seat with the widow, the escort closed in around the vehicle, and at the word all were off for the mountain pass ami Fort Wingate. Every man in the escort had heard of the warning sent down by messenger, but the major had issued no orders or instructions bearing on the same. Two of the troopers rode some distance ahead as scouts. Then came the sergeant and four others. Behind the vehicle, as a rear guard, rode the other four. Each trooper had a carbine, a brace of revolvers and a saber. Strapped to the roof of the vehicle were weapons for the major and his driver. Unless taken by surprise the escort ought to give a good account of themselves, no matter what the strength of the enemy. As the sergeant’s widow took her seat in the ambulance that morning the driver exhibited great surprise and something like trepidation, though only for a moment. Then he queried of her in Spanish: "Ah, you are to go to the fort with us? I did not know that. I have heard that it is a very rough trail over the mountains.” She could sjteak the Spanish tongue and perfectly understood what he said, hut as she made no reply the man spoke in English: “Beg pardon, lady, bnt if you are to ride with us today I shall have to be more careful in my driving.” She made answer that she was going to Fort Wingate, and that was the extent of conversation between them. A lialt was made at noon to rest and feed, and an hour before dark the escort went into camp for the night at the east mouth of Campbell's pass, almost on the crest of the mountains. The major had found the sergeant's widow a woman of fair education and an entertaining companion, and long before the day was over he had lost sight of the gulf existing between shoulder straps and chevrons on the frontier. They sat apart from the men as they ate their supper, cooked over the campfire by the driver, and it was not until they had finished and the paymaster had lighted his cigar that the woman quietly began: "I have something of particular importance to communicate to you, major. We are out of earshot of the men, but yet under their eyes. Any movement on your part which betrays excitement will result disastrously. We will look about while we talk, and they will think we are conversing about the scenery.” “What is it?” queried the major, his thoughts at once leaping to the story of the outlaws. "You have 12 men here,” she calmly continued. "The sergeant, the driver and seven of the men speak Spanish. You do not. I have caught scraps of conversation during the day and know what is to happen tonight. Your face is flushed already. You must control yourself, or we are lost. The sergeant and seven of his comrades have been corrupted. The driver is in with them. Somewhere np here is a gang of renegades. The two parties are to make one, secure the money and then scatter and leave the country. Control yourself, major—our lives depend on it!” "Go on!” said the paymaster, clinching the rock on which he sat to hold hiumelf down. “The three soldiers not in the plot will be forced to join to save their lives. If they refuse, no mercy will lie shown. You and 1 are to tie murdered, of course. I could have told you all this two hours ago, hut I could not see that you could take any steps to thwart their plans. Had you given them a sign that you sus-

no move until a late nour, so as to finlsn you while you sleep. You must leave your tent without being seen, and you will find me under the ambulance with all the weapons. If we had the throe loyal men with us, we could make a great fight, hut any attempt to approach them will arouse suspicion.” When the sergeant returned and saw how the ambulance had lieen disposed of, he seemed somewhat disturbed, but as tiie heavens were clouding up the major's reason seemed to he a good one. Two other men were taken down t he pass to be posted, the horses looked after for the night, and by 9 o'clock the camp was quiet, and everybody seemed to be asleep. Half an hour later the major crept out of his tent to the ambulance and found that the sergeant's widow had rolled several bowlders together to make a breastwork between the fore wheels. She had the rifles and revolvers down there and was waiting his arrival. "They will come within an hour,” she whispered as she handed him his weai>on. “We will let them begin the attack and thus make sure of their purpose.” She had taken command, as it were, from the start, and the major had not rebelled against it. It pmzzled and humiliated him forever after, but in that hour it seemed perfectly natural that she should order and he obey. At 10 o’clock the sergeant arose and disappeared up the pass. Fifteen minutes later 10 or 12 men, all stepping on tiptoes and moving like shallows, passed the ambulance on their way to t he smoldering fire. Of a sudden there was a flame and a crash. A volley had lieen fired into the officer's tent. Had he been lying there every bullet would have struck him. Next moment the three loyal men were being hustled and threatened, and they soon promised what was demanded of them. The two guards jxisted down the pass now came up, and there was amove by the whole body of men to seize the wagon and draw it out. Notone of them had even looked into the tent where the corpse of the paymaster was supposed to I be lying. “We must kill as many of them as we can!" whispered the widow as the men 'approached. "The revolvers are between j us and the spare cartridges toyour right! Here they come!” There were 21 men in the gang. They | believed the paymaster dead and the i woman helpless. Crack, crack, crack! went the winchesters from under the ambulance, and so great was the surprise of the gang that five men lay dead and three others were wounded before

| those who could get away rushed up the j pass out of range. For half an hour ] nothing was heard from them. Then they came with a rush and a yell. They i had to exjKise themselves, hut they also | knew where to point their weapons. | Scarcely a word had passed between the major and the widow. She had laid | aside her rifle for a pair of revolvers, ] and he had followed suit. The rush was j furious—the fighting brief. The gang | left three dead men behind, and two renegades hobbled away with groans and curses. A bullet had drawn blood from the widow’s cheek, and a bullet had raked the paymaster’s scalp. “We must strengthen the breast work,” she said as she laid down her weapons. "You pile up the rocks, and 1 will secure the weapons of the dead. When they come again, they will roll bowlders in front of them for shields.” In half an hour the major had a strong and close defense covering the front and right flank. As a finishing touch he dragged the dead men against it. When he heard the noise of moving bowlders, he crept behii)d the works, and five minutes later the outlaws opiened fire. Before daylight came he was wounded in the left shoulder and in the right hip, and the widow lost a thumb and was hit in the side.

Daybreak ended the attack. Nxne outlaws lay dead, three were helpless with wounds, and the remainder skulked away into the mountain like wolves. That was

J all. There was no love—no romance— I no marriage. The sergeant’s widow had saved the major, and both together had saved the soldiers’ treasury. Soldiers ! from Fort Wingate buried the dead and | limited down and shot some of those who | skulked away, hut in a week or two the li'air had almost been forgotten. It was simply an incident of the frontier, where all are heroes and heroines.

(•RACK, CRACK, CRACK! WENT THE WINCHESTERS. pected the pilot, they would have turned and shot you down. I am now ready to plan with you.” The major tried to answer her, but could not utter a word. His efforts to restrain his hot and impulsive nature used upi all his strength. “Just above us, on the other side,” she went on, leaning forward and piointing down the pass, as if speaking of some object in that direction, “is a recess in the granite wall. You might almost call it a cave. If you can invent any excuse to have the wagon backed in there, it would be pretty hard for them to come at us. We should be protected excepit in front, and I believe we could make a long fight of it. The sergeant is now going to piost two guards upi the pines, and while he is gone yon can order the wagon backed in. Your loyal men are Stevens, Hurlburt and Thompson. Your face is very pale, major. An army officer should have more control of his feelings.” “I am all right now.” whispered the major. “Sure there is no mistake about the matter, are you?” “I have given it to you as I picked it up in fragments during the day. It looks a bit like rain. That will be a good excuse for backing the wagon in, as the cover is old and leaky.” The woman entered the vehicle, and the paymaster ordered two or three men to back it into the recess, explaining that a shower might lie expiected before morning. A small tent was then pitched for the officer between the fire and the wagon. The soldiers would roil up in their blankets when ready for sleep. The major busied himself about the wagon after it was in position, and from behind the curtains the woman cautiously said to him: “As 1 understand it. thev are to make
