Then One of (ho gang whom he had once befriended in Tucson pleaded with liis fellows to spare tho life of the only one of the party loft to tell the tale. Pasqual nnl the Mexicans were gone. Th*ii who remained were Americans, luilging by their speech, though two of them were still masked. "My name is Woods," Siiid the poor fellow. "But that bandit had to beg hard. They were ready to murder anybody conHWtrd with the defense, for Ramon was killed and Pasqual shot through the leg. I did that, though thoy didn't know it. Thoy Ixnmd and left mo hero, but made me swear I would tell Harvey and his friends when they got back that it was no use following they had 80 armed men and three hours' start.

to resist every effort for his restora-

answered only by a faint shiver-

ing sigh. Tho thimbleful of whisky forced between his lips only gurgled down his throat, and Drummond felt no responsive flutter of pulse. The shock to his system must iudeed have been great, for Harvey lay like one in a trance. Drummond feared that he might never again open his eyes to light and home.

And then the weary troop came trotting into view, old Sergeant Mf inecke in command. Halting and dismounting at his signal, the men stood silent and wondering at their horses' heads, while their leader went in to report to his commander.

Drummond barely lifted his eyes from the pallid features before him. "Unsaddle, sergeant rub down pick out the best and likeliest horses. I want 20 men to go on a chase with me. How soon can the packs get tip?' "They must be fully half an hour behind, sir." "Sorry for that, sergeant. We've got to take at least four of them load them up with barley, bacon, hardtack, ammunition. Kick off everything else. We'll feed and water here before starting, then we've got to ride like the devil. Send Trooper Bland here as soon as he has unsaddled. I want him to ride with mo. He knows all the roads to the south.''

Meinecke saluted in his methodical German fashion, turned away and presently could be heard ordering "Unsaddle," and then shouting for Private Bland. "Are there any of our men besides the farrier who have any knowledge of surgery?" asked the lieutenant of Sergeant Lee. "They say Bland has, sir. I don't know any one elso." "Well, I've just sent for him. Mr. Harvey hero doesn't seem to be wounded, yet it's impossible to bring him to. Give Woods a little more whisky and see if you can get a word out of the major or Ft eny.''

But efforts with the half suffocated mon had no effect. The whisky with Woods had better results. He presently ceased his shivering sobs and could answer more questions. Drummond begged for particulars of the capture, and these the man found it difficult to give. He was stationed at the back door, the corral side, ho said, and haidly saw tho linal rush. But there was something so queer about it. There had been a tew minutes' lull. Then Harvey and Feeny both began to talk excitedly and to call out that the "road agent:." were running away, and then presently there came the sound of galloping hoofs and cheering and both tho sergeant and Mr. Harvey had shouted that the troops were coming and rushed out to meet them—"' And the next thing I knew," said Woods, "was seeing Feeny flattened out on the ground and crawling on his hands and knees and the room filled with roughs, some Mexicans, some Yanks, and I slipped into the corral and saw one of them shoot Feeny as he was trying to crawl after me and while they were swearing and searching for the safe and carrying it out, Mr. Dawes and Mullan managed, gomehow, to help tho paymaster out, and then Went in after the other man."

Th'.n con! .rOne thing, he said, amazed and excited him so he couldn't believe his eyes, but ho was almost 'tidy to swear that the fellow Feeny ran to shake hands with was a soldier in uniform, and that he held Feeny's hand while another man came up behind and '"mashed" him with tho butt of his pistol, and that this fellow in soldier clothes was the man who afterward shot Feeny as he was trying to crawl away.

Drummond looked around at the man incredulous—almost derisive. The story was improbable, too much so to deserve even faint attention. Just then Meinecke camo back and, precise as ever, stood attention and saluted. "Herr lieutenant., Private Bland is not with my party at all, sir." "Did* you leave him back with the packs?"

in this direction, and

Drammontl sprt&Bg to his feet "What say you to this, sergeant? Do yon believe—do you think it possible that Bland has deserted and joined these outlaws "I don't know what to think, sir, but I haven't forgottea what Feeny said of him." "What was that?" "That lio had too smooth a tongue to have led & rough and honest life that if he was c, Texan as ho claimed Texas people had learned to talk a different lingo since he was stationed^among them with the old Second cavalry before the war, and that he wished he'd been there at Lowell when the adjutant accepted vhose letters from former officers of the regiment as genuine. Bland would never show them to Feeny. Said he had sent 'em all to his home in Texas. That was what made bad blood between them." "By heaven 1 and now to think that one of our troop—C treop—should have been engaged in thi.i outrage! But we'll get them, men,*' s:M Drummond, straightening up to his full height and raising his gauntleted band in air. "They can't go fast or fsr with those wagons such a night as this. They'll strike the foot hills before they've gone 10 miles, then they'll have to go slow. We'll catch them before the sun is up, and, by the God of heaven, if Bland is with them, I'll string him to the highest tree we can find." "There's more than him that'll be strung up," growled a grizzled old trooper in an undertone. The gang that murdered Pat Donovan will find •cant mercy in this crowd." "Aye, aye," said another, "and there's more than Pat Donovan to be scored off. Look yonder." For at the instant one of the packers came leading into the corral a resisting mule, at sight of whose burden many of the horses started in fear. It was the lifeless body of Donovan's companion,the soldier who had escaped the assassin's bullet when Patsy fell only to be overtaken and cut down half way to Moreno's. "It's the bloodiest night I've known even in Arizona,'' said Lee to his young leader. The paymaster and Mr. Harvey about as good as dead, old Feeny dying, most like, the clerk and Mullan and some other trooper of the escort burned to ashes in that hell hole there, and Donovan and this last one—some of our fellows think it is Flynn, from troop—shot to death. It's worse than Apache, lieutenant, and there'll be no use trying to restrain our fellows when we catch the blackguards.''

A quarter of an hour later, leaving half a dozen soldiers under an experienced sergeant to guard the pucks, the wounded and the noncombatants at the smoldering ruins of the ranch, with barely a score of seasoned troopers at his back, Lieutenant Jim Drummond rode resolutely out toward the southern desert, toward the distant line of jagged mountains that spanned the far horizon. The false and fatal blaze at the, Picacho had utterly disappeared, and all was darkness at the west. The red glow of the smoldering embers behind was no longer sufficient to light their path. Straight away southward led the wheeltracks, first separate and distinct, but soon blending, as though one wagon had fallen behind and followed the trail of the bolder leader in the first. Straight away after them went the ruck of hoof tracks, telling plainly that for a time at least the gang had massed and was prepared to guard its plunder.

Stop to divide it was evident they dared not, for they had not with them the implemints to break into the safe, and all their searching and threatening had failed to extract from the apparently dying paymaster any clew as to what he had done with the key. Stick together, therefore, they undoubtedly would, reasoned the lieutenant and all their effort would be to reach some secure haunt in the Sierras and there send back their demand for ransom. Twenty-five dollars in cash and George Harvey's precious daughters! It was indeed a rich haul—one that in all the dread history of the Morales gang had never been equaled. Even had they failed to secure the safe the richer booty was theirs in having seized the girls. But few people in Arizona—as Arizona then was constituted —would make great effort to overhaul a gang of robbers whose only victim was Uncle Sam and "his Mteried hirelings." Nobody in Sonora would fail to regard them with envious eves, but in the deed of rapine that made them the captors and possessors of those defenseless sisters each man had put a price upon his head, a halter round his neck, for "gringo" and "greaser," American and Mexican alike, would spring to arms to rescue and avenge.

TERKE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, FEBRUARY 24, 1894.

As the rearmost of the little party of pursuers disappeared in the darkness and the wearied pack mules went jogging sullenly after, urged on by the goad •i their half Mexican driver, the sergeant left in charge of the detachment at the corral looked at his watch and noted that it was just 8:80 o'clock. The dawn would be creeping on at 4.

Wearied as were his men, he did not permit them all to rest The condition of his wounded and the instructions left him by Lieutenant Drummond made it necessary that they should have constant attention. It was sore trouble for him to look at the old paymaster, whose life seemed ebbing away, lying there so pallid and moaning at times so pitifully. but Feeny lay torpid, breathing, yet seeming to suffer not at alL

Both were in desperate need of sur-

gical attendance, but where could surgeon be found? The nearest was at Stoneman, the little cantonment across the Christohal, 30 miles to the east I and though a gallant fellow had volunteered to make the ride alone through the Apache infested pass and carry the dispatch that Drummond had hurried-. ly penciled there was no possibility of doctors reaching them before the coming night and the thought of all they might have to suffer through the fierce white heat of the intervening

day was one that gave the sergeant deep concern. Then, too, who ooold say whether the solitary trooper would succeed in running the gantlet and making his way through? He was a resolute old frontiersman, skilled in Indian warfare and well aware that his best chance was in the dark, but speed as he might the broad light of day would be on him long before he could get half way through the range. The stage from the west would probably come along about sunset, but nothing could be hoped for sooner. No troops were nearer than the Colorado in that direction except the little signal post at the Picacho. Corporal Fox and two men had been sent thither to inquire what the signal meant, and it would soon be time for them to* come riding in with their report. How he wish^.l Wing were here! Wing knew soinetmug. about everything. He was an expert veterinarian, something of a doctor, knew more of mineralogy than all the officers put together and could speak Spanish better than any man in the regiment. When it became necessary to have a signal station at the peak and it was found that no one knew anything about the business. Wicg got one of the old red manuals, studied the system and inside of a week was signaling with the expert sent down from San Francisco.

The interior of the ranch was still a smoldering furnace as 4 o'clock drew nigh. Woods, weak and exhausted, had fallen into an uneasy sleep. The trooper detailed to watch over old Plummer and Feeny and bathe their faces with cold water was nodding over his charge. Here and there under the shed on the north side which the flames bad not reached the men were dozing, or in Iqw, awestricken tones talking of the tragic events of the night. Near the east gate, reverently and deeply covered with the only shroud to be had, the newest of the saddle blankets, lay the stiffening remains of poor Donovan and his comrade. Lurking about the Westward end of the inclosure. their beady eyes every now and then glittering in the firelight, the Mexicans, men and boy, were smoking their everlasting papelitos, apparently indifferent to the fate that had deprived them of bom* and occupation.

One of the troopers had burrowed a hole in the sand, started a little cook fire and was boiling some coffee in a tin quart mug. Overhead and far down to the horizon on every side the stars shone and sparkled through the vaporless skies. Eastward toward the Christobal they were just beginning to pale when a faint voice was heard pleading for water. Sergeant Butler sprang from his seat and hastened to where he had left Mr. Harvey but a few minutes before, still in deep and obstinate swoon. 'Water, is it, sir? Here you are! I'm glad to see you picking up a little. Mr. Drummond left this for you too, sir. He said you would maybe need It." And the sergeant raised the dizzy bead and held a little flask to Harvey's lips. 'Where is he?" at last the sufferer was able to gasp. "Overhauling the outlaws, hand over fist, by this time, sir. He has 20 good men at his back, and we'll ha^e the ladies safe tonight—see if we don't." "Oh. God!" groaned the stricken brother, burying his face in his arms as the recollection of the fearful events of the night came crowding upou him. For a moment he seemed to quiver and tremble in every limb, then with sudden effort raised his head and turned again, the blood trickling anew from a gash in his face as he did so. 'Give me more of that," he moaned, stretching forth a trembling hand. "More water too. Lend me a horse and your carbine. I must go! 1 must go!" But there his strength failed him, and grasping wildly at empty air poor Harvey fell heavily back before the sergeant could interpose an arm to save. •Don't think of it, sir. You're far too weak, and you're not needed. Never fear, the lieutenant and troop will do all that men can do. They'll bring the ladies safely back as soon as they've hang what's left of that murdering gang. Hello! That you. Fox?" he shouted, springing up as two or three horsemen came spurring in. ••It's I—Wing, "was the answer in ringing tones. Fox is coming slower. Quick now. Is it so that that gang has run off the young ladies?" •It's God's truth. Here's Mr. Ked Harrey himself."

In an instant Wing was kneeling by the side of the prostrate man. "Merciful heaven, my friend, but they've used you fearfully I They only bound and held me till Jackson got back from Ceralvo's a couple of hours Igo. Are you shot—injured?' "No, no," groaned Harvey. "But 1 in broken, utterly broken, and my sisten are in the hands of those hounds." •Never worry about that man. 1 know young Drammood well. There isn't a braver, better officer in the old regiment if he is but a boy. He'll never drop that trail till he overtakes them, anH by the time he needs us old Pike here and 1 will be at his side. Thank the Lord, those louts were frightened off and never took our horses. They're fresh as daisies, both of 'em. Cheer up, Mr. Harvoy. If hard riding and hard fighting will do it. we'll have your sisters here to nurse you before another night Come, Pike." he cried as he vaulted into saddle. 'Now for the liveliest gallop of your lazy, good for I nothing life. Come on!

CHAPTER VII

A new May morning was breaking, its faint rosy light warming the crests of the Santa Maria, when Lieutenant Drummond signaled "halt" to his little band, the first halt since leaving Moreno's at 2.30. Down in a rocky canyon a number of hoof prints on the trail diverged to the left and followed an abrupt descent while the wagons bad kept to the right and by a winding and more gradual road seemed to have

•ought a crossing farther to the west. It was easy to divine that with such elements in the gang, there bad been no long separation between the horsemen and the treasure they were guarding, and, eager as he was to overtake the renegades, Drummond promptly decided to follow the hoof tracks, rightly conjecturing, too, that they would bring him to water in the rocky tanks below.

Dismounting and leading his big sorrel, he sprang lightly from ledge to ledge down what seemed a mere goat trail, each man in succession dismount-

JBach rrum tuccession dismounted at the same point. ing at the same point and with mors or lees elasticity coming on in the footsteps of his leader. The faint wan light of early dawn was rendering neighboring objects visible on the sandy plain behind them, but had not yet penetrated into the depths of the gorge. Lying far to the west of the Tucson road, this was a section of the country unknown to any of the troop, and with every prospect of a broiling ride across the desert ahead so soon as the sun was up no ehance for watering their horses could be thrown away. Just as he expected, Drummond found the descent becoming more gradual, and in a momentor two the bottom of the dark rift Was found, and presently, keeping keen lookout for the reflection of the stars still lingering overhead, the leading men were reward#!, and halted at the edge of a shining pool of clear though not very cool water and the horses thrust their hot muzzles deep into the wave. Here, shaded by the broad brimmed hats of white felt, such as the Arizona trooper of the old days generally affected, a match or two was struck and the neighborhood searched for "sign." The rocks around the tank were dry the little drifts of sand blown down from the overhanging height were smooth. Whatsoever splashing had been done by the horses of the outlaws there had been abundant time for it to evaporate, therefore the command could not thus far have gained very rapidly on the pursued. But Drummond felt no discouragement. Up to this point the way had been smooth and sufficiently hard to make wheeling an easy matter. The wagons had been lugged along at brisk trot, the attending cavaliers riding at lively lope. Now, however, there would be no likelihood of their making such time. The ambulance could only go at slow walk the rest of the way, and the guards must remain alongside to protect the stolen funds, not so much from envious outsiders as from one another. Pasqual Morales showed his accustomed shrewdness when he forbade that any one should try to burst into the safe and extract the money, for well he knew that if divided among the men there would be no longer a loadstone to hold them together, to call for their fiercest fighting powers if assailed. The instant the money was scattered the gang would follow suit and he be left to meet the cavalry single handed.

The horses of the little detachment were not long in slaking their thirst. The noiseless signal to mount was given, and following in the lead of their young lieutenant the troopers rode silently down the winding, canyon, Drummond and Sergeant Lee bending low over their chargers' necks to see that they did not miss the hoof prints. Little by little the light of dawn began to penetrate the dark depths in which they were scouting, aud trailing became an easier matter. Presently the sergeant pointed to the face of the opposite slope, now visible from base to summit where an abrupt bend' threw it against the eastern light

Yonder's where the ambulance came down, sir." "1 see, and we can't be far from where it crossed. Trot ahead and take a look. Let Patterson go with you. If you find a chance for short cuts, signal.

Another half hour passed away, and still the trail led along this strange rock ribbed groove in the desert, the dry bed of some long lost stream. When first met it seemed to be cutting directly across their line of march, now it had turned southward, and for several miles ahead south or west of south was its general course. The light was now broad and clear, though the sun had not yet peeped across the mountain range to their left The pace waS rapid. Drummond frequently urging his men to the trot or canter Out to the front 400 or 500 yards, often lost to view in the windings of the way, Sergeant Lee with a single trooper tode in
