WHEN THE YEAR IS YOUNG.

Jils eyes, usually soft and shy, would fairly blaze with venomous hatred and knowing something of Mexican nature, and how handy they are with a knife, I came to the conclusion that if I were In Bill’s place I would one of two things—apologize to Kid and let him alone, or—kill him. I thought of speaking to Bill about it, but meddling in another man’s row was unheal, thy business in those days, so 1 ended by keeping silent.

Kid did not disappoint me. One night, as I sat reading in my tent, there came from the outside a sharp exclamation that was followed immediately by the sounds of a struggle, then a piercing scream, and I heard, unmistakable in Bill’s voice: “Ter miserable, sneakin’ little kyote! Put er a knife in me in tli’ dark, would yer? Wall, I reckon not! An’ now I’ll jest give you er taste of it, my little nnake-?n-th’-grass.”

Grabbing up my gun, knowing that nothing short of that would have any weight with Bill, hurriedly threw open my tent, and, the bright light of my lamp flashing out, I saw Kid flit on his back, with Bill kneeling on his chest, one hand gripping the boy’s throat, and the other, grasping a knife, upraised to strike. In Kid’s face there was a look of horror that I will remember as long as I live. The sudden flood of light caused Bill to pause, and then his arm sank slowly to his side, the knife slipping from his hand. “Wall, I’ll jest be all over d d!” he ejaculated, and letting go of Kid’s throat he stood up. I could see nothing to Justify such a change in his attitude, and I was amazed to see him now reach down and .take Kid’s hand. “Git up,” he said gruffly; “I ain’t ei goin’ ter hurt yer—never would a techcd yer ef I’d knowe'd what I know now, an’ I’m sorry I done it.” Ht helped Kid to his feet and went on. “Now go back to yer tent; I ain’t goin ter blow on yer, an’ I won’t bullyrag yer no more—sabe? I’ll keep the knife, though, so’s yer won’t git inter no more mischief with it.'’ Kid made no answer, and I could .10 see his face, but I did see his hands suddenly clinch as he went away into the darkness. Having watched him out of sight. Bill walked off without even a glance in my direction. I was greaty puzzled by what had occurred, and my curiosity being aroused I determined to find Bill the next morning and get him to tell me what it was that caused this sudden change toward Kid; but that day was Sunday, and he. left camp at daybreak on an ant’lopc

hundred shaved tails flew upward, and the ground quivered beneath the pounding of twelve hundred hoofs as the mules dashed away after their leader. Soon they overtook her, and, ranging themselves behind and at her sides, bore down in solid phalanx upon the Apaches, racing along as though for their lives.

When the year is young, when the year is young, All the gnarled and knotted orchard thick with wreathes of bloom is hung, And amid its odorous arches bees intone the Rvelong day, Where the oriole, transported, carols his divinest lay; And within the heart’s dim cloisters all the sweetest bells are rung To the tenderest of old descants—when the year is young.

Oh, what a howl of delight went up from the men when they saw through Kid's design! The Apaches heard it and. looking behind them, saw their peril. As one man they halted end fired into the mules, then scattered on the run, the greater number making for the mountains, the others s ill holding their course toward Bill—his scalp was too great a prize to be lightly given up. Streiched out flat on the old gray’s back. Kid rode straight for these, and, presently they dropped their rifles and ran for their lives, hut it was too late. One after another they disappeared in a mass of switching tails and flashing heels, to go down under the herd, trampled and crushed into bloody pulp of flesh and bone. When the last of them had fallen Kid reined in and, getting off his horse, started staggering toward Bill, but before going far he fell limply to the ground.

We saw this while running across the valiey, for the moment we unci rstood what Kid was doing every man in camp started at the top of his speed for Bill. Those of us that went to where Kid lay found him insensible and bleeding profusely from a ragged tear where an Apache bullet had ploughed through his shoulder. Quickly I took him in my arms, and tearing open his shirt to better see the wound I mads a startling discovery—Kid was a woman.

Bill soon recovered sufficiently to ride the old gray back to camp, but we had to carry Kid. and never was babe held with tenderer care by a mother. When she regained consciousness she sent away all but the “boss” and me, and told us ail about herself. Her right name was Luisa Montez. She was born and reared on a ranch hack in the mountains, where the Apaches had killed her parents. Without friends or relatives, compelled to earn her own living in a land where women are not supposed to do anything of the kind, she wandered up to Paso del Norte, and was almost starved when it occurred to her to pass herself off as a man. and she was given a job in our outfit.

In those good old days when the Apache was yet lord of the Mexican Sierra Madre, I was commissary clerk in a grading outfit that was engaged in building a railroad in the State of Chihuahua. While this place was one that gave me constant opportunity for the study of mulishness, there having b en three hundred mules in the outfit, it was not one calculated to make me familiar with feminine nature, a grader’s camp being no place for a woman; n~vcrtheless. it was while so employed that my personal observation brought me to the conclusion that there is no creature more whimsical than a woman, unless it be a mule.

When we left her Bill went in and had a long walk. What passed between them we never knew, but he immediately took charge of her and, as carefully as a woman could have done, nursed her until she wa£ sound and well again; and the next thing anybody knew she took him, unresisting, hack to civilization and married him.

Chihuahua was a wild bit of country in those days, an uninhabited desert. of bare mountains and hills, and waterless valleys and plains for the greater part; as for that matter, it is still so, but the Apaches are uot there now, and Apaches are—well, there is nothing with which to compare an

hunt, so I did not see him. Turnlns the affair over in my mind that morning, I came to the conclusion that Bill's heart was too large for his judgment and that Kid would yet avenge himself; and I was not wrong, though he did it in a way that I could not have expected.

Ten years afterward I ran across Bill in Santa Fe, and he was a changed man. His overbearing manner was gone, leaving in its place the very spirit of meekness, and he was prosperous, owning a small grading outfit of his own. Kid and the children were well and happy, he told me.—The Argonaut.

Apache, unless to the devil, of whose characteristics I have only a hearsay knowledge. The mules of the outfit were plain, everyday mules, sometimes sensible and tractable, at other times foolish and stubborn, but energetic kickers always. Their leader was not one of their own number as one would naturally expect, but an old gray mare with a vicious temper—who hated them with all her heart, and who was continually fighting them, ever keeping them well beyond the reach of her heels and teeth —and they reverenced her. if mules-caa be said to reverence anything, • never offering to return her kicks and bites, and they would have followed her into the very jaws of death. And because of this leadership the old gray was assigned as mount to the man who took the herd out overy night to pasture, for with her under control of an experienced man there was little danger of the mules being stampeded and run off by the Apaches.

With a few exceptions, the men of the outfit were in keeping with their surroundings. Wild, rough fellows, whose only law was the dictate of the six-shooter held persuasively at the drop,” and the few orders issued by the “boss” of the outfit. Of these, none was wilder or rougher than one who was named ”3111” Smith. Physically he was a giant, and he was an ideal laborer, but morally he was a weakling. and his great strength in connection with extraordinary quickness in drawing his gun, giving him unlimited confidence in himself, at the same time inspiring his comrades with fear of him he became the bully of the camp, though he was not the coward that most bullies are. Among the few who were not of Bill’s class was a young Mexican, whose name appeared on the books as "Kid Cook," this nickname having come of his position as cook’s assistant ,and his smooth, beardless face. He was a quiet fellow of about

Our camp was pitched on a low hill that rose island-like in the midst of a grassy valley. On the, west this valley was hounded by a range of rugged mountains that came down to wi bin a mile of camp, and on the east by a chain of high hills; to the north and south, where the railroad came in and went out. the grassy level stretched away further than the eye could reach. To economize in feed it was the custom to pasture the mules in this valley whenever they were not at work, on Sundays and at night, and they went out as usual on the day following Kid's attempt to knife Bill, though not under charge of the night herder, he and the old gray mare having to remain in camp to rest and sleep. When the gong sounded tor supper, <about nn hour before sunset, the herd was in plain view from camp, and not over half a mile away, so the herder galloped in to his supper, leaving them unguarded until the night herder should go out and take them.

As we were in the Apache country it was a very foolish thing for him to do. He had scarcely unsaddled his horse and gone into the grub tent, when shrill yells and whoops, mingled with the thunder of pounding hoofs coming from the valley, brought every man running out. Watching their opportunity from their -lurking places In the mountains, a band of half naked Apaches had slipped into the herd, and running about among the mules, lashing and striking, were trying to stampede them. They would have succeeded, mules being mortally afraid of Indians. but that the night herder, preparing to go on duty, had brought the old gray mare to the erub tent to wait while he ate his supper, where she stood in plain sight from the valley. The mules were running away southward when the leading ones spied her, and, making a wide detour to avoid the Apaches who were following as fast as their legs could carry them, the entire herd came galloping in.

There are many superstitious fancies about the lilac. It is the flower which is fatal to love affairs. Though the scent is so sweet and lilac tints are so fresh and becoming, country girls rarely wear this flower as a buttonhole. “She who wears lilac will never wear a wedding ring.’’ runs an old proverb. A boutonniere of lilac is paid for dearly by solitary spinsterhood. The village maiden lets the lilac bush severely alone. For the same reason rustic wise women—with marriageable daughters —never allow a jug of the sweetsmelling blossom inside the house. They decorate the outside window sill with it. But "there’s no love luck about the house” which contains lilac.

Londoners are not superstitious, and they gather the lilacs which grow so profusely in city and suburban gardens with a lightsome ignorance of the unluckiness in love this charming flower confers. Village peopie cannot understand why “clever London folk” know nothing of the traditions of ill-luck about the lilac. To give your sweetheart a sprig of this flower is a sure way to break the engagement. White lilac is said not to be so unlucky in affairs of the heart as the mauve. But neither should be presented to a lover. It is supposed to prove as fatal to love as an opal ring.

Part of Kid’s duty was to help serve at table, and one day, while Ailing Bill’s cup with coffee, some ouc struck hie arm. and some of the hot fluid fell on the bully’s hand. With a bellow of rage. Bill sprang to his feat, and, with a sweeping blow, sent Kid staggering down into a corner of the tent, where he stood over him with drawn revolver threatening to kill him in a doz?n different wavs if he should so much as bat his eye. Nobody offered to intervene, for all knew that, if left alone. Bill would do the boy no further harm but it interfered with might shoot him In a spirit of savage wilfulness, and that, as he used his gun promlscuous'y when once started, somebody else would get hurt. Kid wisely made nc protest, but lay still and quiet, covering his flaming face with his hands and after a while, Bill put up his gun and went back to the tabic.

Yelling with rage and disappointment, the Apaches turned to go back to the mountains, when a white man rode out from the rocks before them, and started across the valley toward camp. By his horse, which we recognized, we knew him to be Bill Smith. The Apaches opened fire the moment they saw him, and, changing his course so as to avoid them, he as promptly spurred hie horse into a gal. lop, and we thought he had got safely out of range, when the animal suddenly went down, falling on Bill, stunning, and pinning him to the ground. Instantly a yell of exultation went up from the Apaches, and they dashed toward him, racing with one another for his scalp. While the men occasionally killed one of their number themselves, it was quite another thing to see one butchered by the Apaches, and they groaned with horror, for they could do nothing but stand idly look-

ing on. Kid had run out of his tent with 111? others, and was standing near me, when Bill went down. In the excitement of that moment I lost sight of him, and when I saw him again he had leaped astride the old gray mare and, digging his heels in her flanks, started a furious gallop toward the Apaches. At this another groan went up, for it seemed that the boy was onlv riding to his death. A moment later we saw three hundred pairs of long ears cocked toward the old gray, three

Don't Drink Water In Gulps.

As a rule it is much better to sip water than to swallow a glassful as one draught. The exception to this rule is in the morning, when one should drink a glassful or two of moderately cold water in order to flush the stomach while it is tubular. At other times, however, sipping the water is much more stimulating in its effect on the circulation. During the action of sipping the nerve action which slows the beating of the heart is temporarily abolished, and in consequence the heart contracts much more quickly and the circulation in various parts of the body is increased. Another advantage in sipping Is the fact that the pressure under which the bile is secreted is considerable raised. It has been stated on good authority that a glass of cold water slowly sipped will produce a greater acceleration of the pulse for a time than will a glass of wine or spirits taken at a draught. Sipping cold water will, in fact, often allay the craving for alcoholic drinks—a point worth remembering by those who are endeavoring to refprm. -- Ladies' Home Journal.
