won't disturb ye again for 10

minutes anyhow. Hold your post, tfccmgh. till we call yon back. We're goin to block the mouth of the cave."

Twenty minutes later, and working Kite beavers Costigan and his tivo men kave lugged rocks, logs, bales of blankets, everything, anything that can stop a bullet, and the entrance to the cave is being stoutly barricaded. Patterson, who was sorely exposed at his post and ordered down by Lieutenant Drumirioncl. is aiding in the work. Wing has been carefully borne into the back cave, whither, too, the wailing, quaking Moreno women are herded and bidden to hold their peace. There, too, Fanny and Ruth, silent,pallid perhaps, but m.'iking no moan, are now kneeling by their patient. Costigan runs in with two buckets he has filled with water and "Little Mac" follows with half a dozen dripping canteens. More rocks are being lifted on the barricade, convenient apertures being left through which to fire, and Costigan, feverishly eager, is making every exertion, for any minute may be the last with those plucky fellows battling there aloft. Tim iir rings with the shots of the encircling Apaches and with the loud report

the cavalry carbine answering

the hidden foe. Twice has Costigan implored the lieutenant to come down anyhow, so long as his crippled condition prevents his firing a gun,but Drummond pokes his bandaged head one instant

over

1 he edge to shout something

to the effect that he is "on deck" until he has seen tin? last man down, and Costigan knows it is useless to argue. At last the barricade is ready. Walsh, peering

grimly

•around, just the top of

his head showing over the parapet, begs for one shot and shouts his Hibernian chal! nge to the Apache nation to come forth and show itself. Drummond picks up the glasses for one final look down the desert and across the valley In search of friends who surely should be coming, cautiously places the "binocular" on the inner edge of tlio top of his shelving rock, then raises his head to the level. "Fur the love o' God, lieut'nant.don't sit so high up!" implores Walsh. "They're sure to spot— Oh, Christ!" And down goes the poor faithful fellow, the

blood

welling from a deep

gash along-the temple. He lies •senseless at his commander's feet. For a moment the air seems alive with humming missiles and shrill with yells from on every side. In their triumph

senseless

then,

three or lour savage foes have leaped tup from behind their sheltering rocks, and one of them pays the penalty—a Yengef'ul carbine from across the canyon stretches tlio lithe, slender, dusky form lifeless among tho rocks with the dirty white of his breech clout turning crimson in the noonday glare. Up from the cave, catlike, Patterson aud "Little Mae" come climbing the narrow trail. Between them they drag Walsh's

body to the edge, and

somehow,

despite hissing, spatter

ing lead, thev bear Liim safely down and cany him within the cave. "Now call in Moreno and help his partner back!" shouts Drummond. and Costigan goes at speed to carry out the order. A few minutes of intense excitement and suspense, then Moreno is •een limping around the point. Behind him Costigan is slowly helping their brigand friend. A few more shots come ringing overhead. A moment more and the watchful Indians will come charging up the now unguarded canyon And crown both banks. "Now. lads, give 'em two or three thots apiece to make them hug their ©over. Then down for the caves, every Kian of you." is the order.

For a moment tho Indian fiija is silenced in the rapid fusillade that follows. Sharp and quick the carbines are barking their challenge, and whenever a puff of {xnvder smoke has marked the probable lurking place of an Apache, thither hiss the searching bullets warning him to keep down. Then Costigan comes climbing to the lookout. "Let us help yon, lieut'nant, Now's yonr time, sir, while they're firing."

But Drummond shakes his head. He want* to 1 the last man dowu. "Don't hang on hero, sir. Come now. Sure the others can get down from where they ore easy enough, but you can't except when they're firing. Please como, sir," and Costigan in his eagerness scrambles to the lieutenant's side and lays a broad.red hand on his shoulder. The men have fired more than tho designated number of shots and now are looking anxiously toward their commander. They do not wish to move ttntil he does. "Give eui another whack all around, fellers." shouts Costigan, "while 1 kelp the lieut'nant downand so, with a laugh, Drummond gives it up, and after one last wistful glance ont over the desert, turns to pick np the binocular, when it is struck, smashed, and sent

clattering down into the canyon by a shot fired not 20 yards away. "Fur God's sake, come quick, sir!" gasps

Costigan. Then, desperate at his loved young leader's delay, the Irishman throws a brawny arm about him and fairly drags him to the end of the steep. Then down they go, Costigan leading and holding up one hand to sustain Drummond in, case of accident. Down, hand under hand, to the accompaniment of cracking rifles and answering carbines, while every other second the bulleta come "spat" upon the rocky sides, close and closer, until, almost breathless, Costigan reiches the solid bottom of the gorge and swings Drummond to his feet beside him. Seeing their leader safely down, the men, with one defiant shot and cheer, scurry to the edge of the canyon and come slipping and sliding to join their comrades. At the mouth of the cave Costigan strives to push Drummond in through the narrow aperture left for their admission, but miscalculates his commander's idea of the proprieties. Like gallant Craven at Mobile Bay, Drummond will seek no safety until his men are cared for. "After you, pilot," the chivnlric sailor's last word as the green wa! rs engulfed his sinking ship, finds its cavalry echo in Drummond's "After j-ou,corporal," in this faraway canyon in desert Arizona. Tho men have scrambled through the gap, then Costigan. with reluctant backward glance, is hurried in just as a flash of flame and smoke leaps downward from the crest and the foremost Apache sends a hurried, ill aimed shot at the last man left. Before another shot can follow, Drummond's arm is seized by muscular hands, and he is dragged within the gap. Two or three huge stones are rolled into place, and in an instant through the ragged loopholes tho black muzzles of half a dozen carbines are thrusting, and Costigan shouts exultingly, "Now, you black legged black guards, coine on if ye dare!"

But no Apacho is fool enough to attack a strong position. Keeping well under cover, tho Indians soon line the crest and begin sending down a rain of better aimed bullets at the loopholes, and every minute the flattened lead comes zipping through. One of these fearful missiles tears its way through Costigan's sleeve, and striking poor old Moreno in the groin stretches him groaning upon the floor. A glance shows that tho wound is mortal, and despite his crimes the men who bear him, moaning, in to the farther cave are moved to sudden sympathy as his hapless wife and child prostrate themselves besido his rocky bier. Drummond can afford to lose no more and orders the lower half of each hole to bo stopped with blankets.blouses.shirts, anything that will block a shot, aud then for an hour the fire of the besiegers is harmless, and no longer can the besieged catch oven an occasional glimpse of them. At noon their firo has ceased entirely, and even when breathing a sigh of relief tho men look into one another's faces questioningly. How long can this last? How hot, how closo the air in tho cavo is growing 1

Drummond has gone for a moment into the inner chamber, where Moreno is now breathing his last, to inquire for Wing and to speak a word of cheer to his fair and devoted nurses. Not one murmur of complaint or dread has fallen from their lips, though they know their father to have ridden on perilous quest and into possible ambush though they know their brother to bo lying at the ruined ranch, perhaps seriously wounded though their own fate may be capture, with indescribable suffering, shame and death. Fanny Harvey has behaved like a heroino, as the two troopers remarked, and Ruth has done her best to follow her sister's lead. Yet they, too, now realize how closo and stifling the heavy atmosphere is growing. is it to be the black hole of Calcutta over again Even as he takes her hand in his Drummond reads the dread in Ruth's tearless faco. Even as he holds it and whispers words of hope and comfort there is a heavy, continuous, crashing sound at the mouth of tho cave, just in front of the rock barricade, and he springs back to learn the cause. "They're heaving down logs and brushwood, sir," whispers Costigan. "They mean to roast us out if they can't do anything else."

More thunder and crash more heaping up of resinous logs from the cliffs above them. Some of the men beg to be allowed to push out and die fighting, bnt Drummond sternly refuses. "At the worst." he says, "we can retire into the back cave we have abundant water there. The air will last several hours yet. and 1 tell you help will come—must come, before the day is much older."

Two o'clock. Hissing flames and scorching heat block tho cavern en trance. The rocky barrier grows hotter and hotter the air within denser and more stifling. The water in the canteens and pails is no longer cool. It is hardly even cooling. The few men who remain with Drunnnond in the front of the cave are lying full length upon the floor. The pain in Drummond's battered head has become intense, It is almost maddening. Wing is moaning aud unconscious. Walsh is Incoherent and raving. All are panting and well nigh exhausted. The front of the cave is like an oven. Overcome by the heat, one or two of the men are edging toward the inner cave, bnt Drummond orders them back. To the very last the lives of those fair girls must be protected and cherished. In silence, almost in desperation, the men obey and lie down again, face downward, their heads at the rear wall of the cave.

And then Costigan comes crawling fo the lieutenants side: "Have you heard any more logs thrown down lately, sir?" "No, corporal. 1 have heard noth tag." "They were yellin and shootln out there In the gulch half an hour ago. Have ye heard no more of it sir?" "No no sound but the flames."

"Glory be to God, thin! D'ye know Wat hit manes, sir?" "I know what 1 hope," is Drummond's faint answer. "Oar fellows are close at hand, for the Indians are clearing out." "Close at hand, is it?" cries Costigan, in wild excitement, leaping to his feet. "Listen, sir! Listen, all of yes! D'ye hear that?—-and that? And there now! Oh, Holy Mother of God! isn't that music? Thim's the trumpets of throop!"

Aye. Out along the crests of the winding canyon the rifles are ringing again. The cheers of troopers, bounding like goats up the rocky sides, are answered by clatter of hoof and snort of excited steeds in the rocky depths below. "Here we are, lads! Dismount! Lively now!" a well known voice is ordering, and Costigan fairly screams in ecstasy of joy, "Tear away the fire, captain, an then we'll heave over the rocks."

Stalwart forms, brawny arms, are already at the work. The wagon tongues are prying under the heavy, hissing, sputtering logs. Daring hands scatter the embers. Buckets of water are dashed over the live coals. "Up wid ye now, boys!" shouts Costigan. "Heave over thim rocks!" Down with a crash goes the barricade. A cloud of steam rushes into the cave. A dozen sturdy troopers come leaping in, lifting

A dozen sturdy troopers come leaping in. from the ground the helpless and bearing them to the blessed coolness of the outer air, and the last thing Jim Drummond sees—ere he swoons away—is the pale, senseless face of little Ruth close to his at tho water's brink her father, with Fanii}- clinging about his neck, kneeling by her side, his eyes uplifted in thanks to the God who even through such jiiiri 1 aud distress has restored his loved ones, unharmed, unstained, to his rejoicing heart.

A NEW SUN MOTION.

Professor Stevenson Hus Completed Wo»j derful Invention After Years of I^abor.

Professor E. E. Stevenson, a well known educator and writer of Quincy, Mass., announces the completion of an Invention on which ho has been laboring for years, which, he says, will revolutionize the present methods.of obtaining motive power. Professor Stevenson has pursued his investigations and experiments in Quincy all winter and has at Vast brought his le:» to a head. Professor Stevenson said: "The forces which have thus far been utilized by the genius of man are the laws of gravitation and ohemical reaction. In the broad field of research and investigation we find the possibilities of the future in molecular attraction, musical vibration and the refraction of light. "To understand the theory on which I have been laboring you must understand the corelation of forces or the transmutation of energies. We use force to produce light. It is upon the reverse of this theory that I have labored, and my experiments are at last proving satisfactory. I have found that the heat of an ordinary kitchen stove generates energy sufficient, if controlled, to drive the machinery of the Pillsbury mills, and the flames of a Bunson electric burner would furnish power to light by electricity 1,000 lights."

In Professor Stevenson's experimental machine, however, the heat of the sun alone has been used. This machine congists of three brass cylinders connected by means of tubes and valves with a glass reflector behind the central cylinder. A piston moving laterally connecting with a balance wheel gives the motion. The shaft on which the balance wheel hangs passes through the end of the machine and contains a drive pulley, which makes the force available. This machine is operated by the sun, working with great rapidity.—Boston Journal.

Historic Brass Knocker.

Trifles light as air have interest sometimes, and apparently nothing is too trifling to feed American curiosity. A' new brass knob has just been placed upon Mr. Gladstone's front door in Downing street. It replaced one which had done the stato much service and had been grasped by the hands of a century of prime ministers, from Pitt upward. Hearing of this treasure trove, an enterprising and sympathetic antiquary purchased the discarded knocker for 5 shillings, and it is now upon its way to New York, accompanied by half a mile of attractive personal legend, for exhibition in the United States.—Huntly (England) Express.

K**p Oat th« Croaker.

Men or women who have always a tale to tell of "how he suffered tha£ way himself' should be kept out of the patient's room. Their sympathy will do harm every time In the sick chamber, if the patient can see company at all. there should be only bright, cheery talk, and the creature with "symptoms" can talk a man into having any and every disease on earth In less than half an hour. A sick man should be led to forget his ills and not to rehearse them or compare notes.—Chicago Journal.

SERVIA'S STOCK TROUBLE.

la a

Muddle Over Who Shall Bale, While Milan Poses as a Patriot.

The frugal Servians just now are torn by conflicting emotions. King Alexander and his erratic, disreputable father have managed between them to alienate what little love had been left in Servia for the Obrenovitsch dynasty, and if the Karageorgevitch pretenders were reasonably respectable and fairly disinterested they could obtain the throne without much difficulty. But Prince Arseneand Prince Peter are, in their way, not much to be preferred to ex-King Milan and his son. They are ambitious, autocratic, extravagant and heavily in debt, and their morals will not bear severe scrutiny.

They are surrounded by impecunious Russian nobles and loose people of both sexes, all of whom will have to be liberally provided for in the event of the Karageorgevitch restoration out of the national treasury, and, to crown their disadvantages in the eyes of the Servian farmers, they claim the retrocession to them of the enormous estates which were formerly the private property of their house, and which were confiscated to the state when the head of the Karageorgevitch family was assassinated and all his relatives were kicked out of the country.

On the whole, therefore, Arsene and Peter would be more expensive than Milan and Alexander. As the question is mainly one of money, the latter will in all probability remain in Belgrade, the establishment of a republic being entirely out of the question. Meanwhile Milan poses as a patriot. He pines for Paris and its supreme delights, which it is impossible to enjoy in semibarbarous Belgrade, but a stern sense of duty keeps him at his son's side. Privately he is haggling with the ministers as to the sum which shall be paid him to clear out. He has hinted that if his price be not paid he will have himself appointed generalissimo and inspector of the army and settle permanently in the country. The appalling prospect thus opened is likely materially to hasten a settlement.—Belgrade Letter.

A Good Puree Soap.

One of the best of the puree soups ismnue from black turtle beans and stock. It is choice enough for any dinner, though as it is quite nutritious it would not be as suitable as a clear soup for a dinner of many courses. Pick over a pint of the beans and soak them 12 hours in cold water. The next morning drain and cover with three pints of boiling water. Cook slowly until the beans are tender. Drain the beans, press them through a fine wire sieve. Heat three pints of beef stock, add the beansand stir thoroughly. Heat to the boiling point, season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish the soup with thin slices of lemon.

Hard boiled eggs are also excellent in this soup. Cut them in thin slices and use with the sliced lemon. Have your 60up plates hot. A half cupful of good sherry makes this soup very palatable.. If used, it should be added the very last thing, and the rest of the soup should be so hot that the addition of a little liquid will not cool it.—New York Post.

Blon din's Latter Day Feat.

M. Blon din's name goes on the list of athletic chaps of middle age. On his Seventieth birthday he walked the tight rope, carrying one of his children, a 150 •pounder. M. Blondin is enjoying his usual health and doesn't expect to reach the end of his rope for 80 years yet.— New York Sun.

Hood's and Only Hood's.

Are you weak and \vear3', overworked Hiid tired? Hood's Sarsaparilla is just the medicine you need to purify anu quicken your blood and to give you appetite and strength. If you decide to take Hood's Sarsaparilla do not be induced to buj' any other. Any eflort to substitute another remedy is proof of the merit of Hood's.

Hood's Pills are the best after-dinner Pill*, assist digestion, cure headache. Try a box.

The Dignity of Housekeeping. I believe myself that a large class of Amer

ican women are shockingly enervated by the irresponsibility of apartment and hotel life and overindulgent husbands. It is a great pity some strong lunged and silver tongued orator does not rise up and preach to them of the dignity, beauty and importance of housekeeping after theold fashioned, handmade method. It is the noblest and most womanly occupation on earth.

The domestic machine is infinitely more complicated than any electrical apparatus, more powerful than a Corliss engine, anil unless properly handled is as deadly as a circular saw. To run one smoothly and safely is a prouder mission than writing a hook, converting heathen or advancing the cause of political equality. Why the profession has fallen into contempt when it oalls into play so many high and handsome talents I fail to understand. I suppose Bridget holds the key of the situation, and no one has courage to break the lock.— American Woman.

What Will Do It?

Medical writers claim that the successful remedy for nasal catarrh must be nonirritating, easy of application, and one that will reach the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The history of the efforts to treat catarrh is proof positive that only one remedy has completely met these conditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both physicians and patients freely concede this fact. Our druggists keep it.

Island Park Picnic Grounds.

These beautiful and popular grounds at Momence, on the Hue of the CHICAGO & EASTERN IT^INOIS R. R-, have undergone extensive alterations and inprovetnents, and will open early in June for the season of 1894. The main channel of the picturesque Kankakee River has been turned to the south side of the island by the removal of many thousand tons of rock from the river bed, insuring during the entire season a splendid water course for several miles up stream unobstructed, even late in the season, by weeds.

The same careful supervision of the grounds and special attention to this feature of the company's traffic, which combined have given Island Park ft* wide reputation and great popularity, will be continued, with an eflort to maintain its high standing as an outing place for societies and organizations of the better class. No Sunday picnics and no sale of intoxicants. Date books now open for the season. Application to be made to Charles L. Stone.

A Parlor Pistol.

Our cylinder will be a piece of goose quill •bout 4 inches long. The piston may be a

Ethebeor

older a piece of ruler. If the latter, ist rounded like a cylinder in one square part forming the handle of thepiBton. As for the bullets, they ought to soft, elastic and somewhat moist. Out a potato into slices as thick as your finger, and by pressing each end of your goose quill into one of these slices you will cut tnerefrom two little round pieces having •MCtly the caliber of your pistol. You may, fey means of this simple apparatus, orgr.ufie a very amusing parlor shooting gallery, for a target take a sheet of paper or a pi. ce of cardboard, cut a round hole through the •enter of it, and if you have a pretty gi-od •im you will be able to fire your bullets fht through the bullseye.—New York

Hot In Australia.

The weather in Australia during the antipodean summer has been unusually hot and oppressive. In Adelaide during January the thermometer several times registered over 100 degrees in the shade, •nd one day it climbed to 107 in the •hade and 163 in the sun. In Melbourne the 100 notch has been reached more than Once, and the scorching north winds have made the atmosphere exceedingly oppressive. The foregoing figures are from weather observatory readings, and probably do not represent by several degrees the temperature of the city streets.— Melbourne Letter.

Marriage on Trial.

A romantic marriage occurred recently at Fulton, 26 miles from this city. Adolph Ekins and Miss Alice Mahoney were the contracting parties. It was agreed by them that they would try married life a year, and if found disagreeable to either he or she was at liberty to withdraw from married life, notwithstanding what the other had to say.— Paducah (Ky.) Dispatch.

I had no appetite and could not sleep. I would be compelled to sit up in bed and belch gas from my stomach until I thought every minute would bo my last. There was a feeling of oppression about my heart, and I was afraid to draw & full breatlu 1 couldn't sweep a room without sitting down and resting but, thank God. by tho help of Now Heart Cure all that is past and I feel like another woman. Bofore using the New Heart Cure I had taken di Terent so-called remedies and been treated by doctors without any benefit until I was both discouraged and disgusted. My husband bought me a bottle of Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure, and am happy to say I never regretted it, as 1 now have a splendid appetite and sleep well. I weighed li3 pounds when I be-
