I shall expect to start at sunrise to-morrow.” With a low bow the Mexican guide turned and strolled down the street. The guide whose services I had en- ’ gaged was a young Mexican not over sixteen years of age. He was slender in J build, with hair of a jet black and skin J of a deep copper color. He might ea-i!y have passed for a j full-blooded Indian, so dark was his . complexion, yet there was an indication j of intelligence in his face and something of shrewdness in his deep black eye«. It was just sunrise, the next morning, when my youthful guide, Manuel Garcia, made his appearance at the hotel I with two hordes, bridled and saddled, , ready for our journey. He was armed with a repeating rifle । and two pistols, while I had only one | pistol—a small thirty-two, which I al- | ways had with me in my travels. However, seeing that Manuel had | thought it necessary to be well armed, I । procured a rifle and 100 pounds of cartridges before leaving the station. The plain over which we were travel- ’ ing soon began to give place to a more hilly and broken country, with here anil there a narrow canyon that wound its way through ranges of low hills. It was in the afternoon. We had traveled twenty-five miles at least, and were making our way across a strip of barren plain, when suddenly Manuel reigned in his horse and dismounted. Bending down he examined tlje ground closely for some time; then he cast a hasty glance about us. “Los Apache!” he said, making a gesture to the west with his hands. “Bo you think there are Apaches in this vicinity?” I asked in alarm. He nodded bis head and pointed bo the ground. I glanced downward, and could plainly see the marks of unshod hoofs in the sandy soil. “Perhaps we had better turn back," I suggested. “I am not anxious to encounter a baud of hostile savages.” But Manuel assured me that such a course of action. was not to be thought i Thorn । all; but if there were it could not be ■ averted by returning. It was just as probable that we might encounter the Apaches by doing so as by continuing I on our course. So, after a few moments spent in considering the matter, we resumed our journey. We rode on three or four miles farther, when, in crossing a little hill, we 1 came suddenly in sight of a squad of, perhaps twenty Indians, advancing from ■ the north, and not more than a mile away. Turning our horses quickly about, > and keeping under the brow of the hill, ; we galloped to the south, hoping to avoid an encounter with them. A few minutes’ gallop brought us to a stretch of sandy plain ; but scarcely had we reached this, when, glancing backward, we saw the whole band of Apaches lashing their ponies and coming in swift pursuit. The war ponies of the Apaches are ! alwavs the best that can be either pur-i chased or stolen in the Territory, and I | recognized the fact that, as we were ’ mounted on animals far inferior to those ridden by the savages, we were in a de-I cidedly close place. We bad got ridden a mile before it was plainly evident that our pursuers were gaining on us rapidly, and must soon overtake us. The sun was still high in the western horizon, and there was no hope that we i could keep up the race till darkness I would offer us a chance to escape. Un- i less we could soon gain cover of some kind, we would be forced to stop and fight our pursuers on the open plain, I and in that case it was not hard to im- ■ agine the outcome. On, on, we urged our panting horses, j with the yelling savages drawing nearer j and nearing to us with every step. Suddenly Manuel turned his horse ■ slightly to the left, and pointing across ' the plain, said: “ We must get to the house.” Then, for the first time. I saw a small building nearly a mile ahead of us, and toward this we urged our horses at their greatest speed. A few minutes’ ride brought us to the house, which proved to be one of those small adobe structures so common in New Mexico and Arizona, erected for the use of Mexican sheep herders, but long since abandoned. In a moment we had thrown ourselves from our saddles and stood by the open door. “Come,” said Manuel, “we must get the horses inside.” $ Quickly we entered the cabin, leading our horses after us. A glance shewed us that we were in a room about fourteen feet square, with a single hole in the western wall that served as a window. The door, which was on the eastern side, was a rickety affair, rudely constructed of pine slabs, and uow showing very plainly the signs of decay. We had barely time to gain the inside and bar the door with the ■wooden bolt with which it was provided, when the Apache-', with yells of savage rage, dashed up to within sixty vards of the

cabin and began circling about it, but not a shot was fired. After some little time spent in manceuvering, they suddenly seperated into two squads, one going to the west of the house and the other remaining on the east. h It was soon evident that they did not mean to attack ns immediately, but doubtless intended to wait until nightfall, when they could do so under cover of darkness. This was Manuel’s view of the situation, and it required no argument to show us that we had little hopes of being able to hold the place against them. Scattered about the room were a few pine boxes and several articles of castoff clothing, and in one corner a pile of coarse black wool and straw, which had doubtless done service as a bed in the time past. Tho floor was of clay and the walls of sun-dried brick, or adobe, while the roof was of boards, held in their place by huge wooden pins. Now that we were aparently free from any immediate danger, I began to rack my brain for some plan of escape. Night would soon be upon ns, and then we might expect an attack. It would not require much force to beat down the rickety door, and then we would be at the mercy of the merciless foe. What was to be done? I looked I about the room, but could see no way jin which our fortifications could be i strengthened. I W’e must make an attempt to escape j from the place before the attack came, i ; but how were we to proceed? There was only one plan, so far as I j : could see, and that was to wait for ; night and then steal from the cabin and j try to elude the enemy in the darkness. 1 Calling Manuel to my side, I hastily : laid my plan before him; but he only j ' shook his head. , “No, seuor,” he said; “I have just j been thinking of a way—” “"What is it?” I asked eagerly. “Wait and see,” he replied briefly, j Then signalling for me to keep watch ; upon the Apaches, he walked over to l the far end of the room, where the । horses were standing. Presently I saw that he was busily engaged at work on i some object in the corner, but the scant । light afforded by the small window pre- ■ vented my seeing what he was doing. The Indians meanwhile had picketed their ponies, and were now sitting or i lying on the short, dry gruss, evidently ■ satisfied that they Were masters of the ■ situation. The evening sun was fast nearing the western horizon, and night would soon Ibe upon us. Whatever wo did must be done soon. It would not do to wait for ■an attack. I knew shat Manuel was ; working on some plan of escape, but what it was I had not the remotest idea. That we would never leave the cabin without a fight, with the odds ten to one against ns, Iwas fully satisfied, jet there was something in the guide's tone and : movements that inspired ibe with contii dence. The sun was just throwing its last golden blaze across the sandy plain, when Manuel came f Tward, leading the two horses in front of the window. “What do you think of that?" he asked, poivtiug to the ummals. I For a moment T .nrj>riM-d to oianciag at the horses, I saw j what at first appeared to be two men I sitting in the saddles, fastened securely ! in their seats by ropes and straps; but a second glance told me that,these figures were only dummies made to closely resemble men. | “What does this mean. Manual? - I I questioned, wondering if the guide had 1 taken leave of his senses. । “Will the Apaches take these for ■ men?” he asked, pointing to the figures and not appearing to notice my surprise. “Why do you nimm—" 1 stopped ’ short, for a light had suddenly dawned upon gie. “You mean to turn the horses loose on the plain, so as to deceive the Apa^ies into thinlHUg that it is we who are their riders?” 1 asked. “You are right, seuor.” I held out my hand. “I see,” I replied. “You are wiser than I in these matters, and I believe I your plan will work.” “It is our only chance," he said, in a i calm tone; “and if it fails we are lost." “1 don't think it will fail!” I ex- ! claimed, confidently, tilled with admiration for the little Mexican's ingenuity. Manuel's next move was to fasten a ; spur to a stirrup on each saddle, first having taken up the strap so that it : would strike the horse squarely on the : side as soon as he began to gallbp. This would keep the horses running at I their best, and so draw the savages I away to a great distance before the deI ception could be discovered, and, if ■ properly managed, would give us a I chance to escape before the Indians ' conk return to the cabin. i Having completed every arrangement I for carrying out Manuel’s plan, we took i our stations to watch the movements of j the savages till night should give us an i opportunity for action. It was not our purpose to wait until 1 darkness had fully set in, but to carry i our plan into action just at dusk, when i the light would be sufficient to show the Indians that the horses had riders, but not enough to reveal the deception. As the twilight settled over the plain. | I could see that the Indians drew closer together, as if holding a final : council. “It’s time now, seuor,” said Manuel, j in a low tone. Without speaking a word, we brought j the horses up to the door. I begun to I remove the bolt, when Manuel laid his । hand upon my arm. ■ “I will lose my horses, senor,” he said, “and they cost me S2OO. I I started at his cool, business-like j tone, and tried to catch the expression jof his face through the deepening ■ gloom. Was it possible that one so young ■ could stop to discuss such a question, even in the face of death? I was astpnisbed at his words, yet I admired the calm courage and indiffer- ■ i ence to danger that characterized his speech. “You shall be paid for your horses, i Manuel,” I said’ “never fear.” i “Thanks, senor,” be replied. And then he unfastened the door and s threw it open.

t Keeping in the shadow of the house, wo led the two h >rses to the outside, - then turning their heads to the north, i we struck them several Sharp blows. 5 They reared violently and plunged i away Sin the darkness. At the same moment we threw ourb selves in at the door and lay fiat upon t the ground. We held our bfeaths as the rapidly : retreating hoofs broke the stillness. Thon rose a fierce tumult to the east - and west, with a succession of terrific > yells from a sdoro of savage throats. ; The Apaches had discovered the two retreating horses and had gone thander- ■ ing in pursuit. Through the open door I could see a line of dark forms moving to the »orth auainst the eastern horizon, and knew । that our ruse was having the desired effect. “Come,” said Manuel; we must not lose a moment. We must be as far ! away as possible before they discover I the trick and return to search for us.” j Carrying our rifles in our hands, ! ready for quick use, we darted from i the cabin and ran with all speed we I could command to the southwest, while i from the north came the fierce yells of i the Apaches as they swept on in purj suit of our two flying horses. We ran for nearly a mile, and th^, j being almost exhausted by the violent exercise, and hearing no sounds of pun suit, we dropped into a walk. A We traveled steadily for throe hour* until we found ourselves among a uange of low, sandy hills, and there, I secreting ourselves in a patch of mes- | quite bushes that grew in|a small canI yon, we rested for nearly an hour. Then wa resumed our journey, and, by ; traveling in a circuitous route,* reached 1 Mason’s ranch at sunrise the following ■ morning. j Thus ended one of tho most dangeri ous adventures of my life, and but for tho shrewdness of a Mexican boy I should not be alive now to toll the story. Two weeks afterward, as we were returning to Nutt station, we came upon the dead bodies of our horses, which ' had been literally hacked to pieces by the savages, so enraged had they been on discovering tho deception that had | been practiced upon them. — Golden Days. Cowboy < luirwtrrlstlc*. In the East the cowboy^ears a great reputation as a dead shot. Part of this is deserved, part is due to romance. : But between the cowboy and the old ! California miner there is a great difference. The former is more reckless than the miner ever was—-especially when he is currying a heavy load of liquor in addition to Ins six shooter—but it is I doubtful if he has done as much killing as the old miner. The latter generally held off until he was obliged to draw, and then he saw to it that every shot conn ted. It is remarkable how many shots s cowboy can waste without ever hitting anything. A coroner might starve if be depended on the hurdy gurdv fights as a source of income. Still many cowboys are mighty handy with their weapons, says the Chicago Herald. Among them one will find about the same per ceutage that want to bo In >«» “bad , mon «»m <<nn hr THrt wftll 111 WJ frontlet j community As n rule the atoekmen and cowboys of the West are a generous, bravo, law-abiding lot of citizens, i and many never draw a gun unless there exists good reasons for it Their ’ promiscuous shooting in tho tough saloons frequented bv the cowboys whe happen in town during a round-up is generally go< d naturod, wild fun, induced by imbibing too freely of a pc -t quality of forty pd. \<>u see, the cow- ! boy tie r.Highly enjoys show and noise. Now with the miner it was different. Ue had his claim and his belt of gold tc protect, and he felt’ the responsibility ;of the charge. There was no law tc avenge any outrage, so in case of any attempted infringements on his rights he was obliged to administer a rebuke in his own jteeu iar way, and it was geuerully pretty efle^iv.-, Khnbarb anti It* l <r.

On the । rock-bound coast, exposed to tho full sweep of the Atlantic Ocean, the bilows brealr in a storm with a fury that they never exhibit far from shore. A ew months ago I was a guest in the louse of a Donegal (Ireland) gentleman ’who lives about five miles from tht shore, and I witnessed a singular phenomenon, which, I think, is peculiar to that coast On the evening of my arrival mv host gave a dinner party at which I was the, only alien. Every one else at the tab.e was a native of Donegal, and when the cloth was removed and the ladies, had withdrawn, the materials essentia, to a social evening were produced. 1 was ju^t about to raise my glass to my lips when I heard a strange booming noise, not unlike far-off thunder, and at the same moment the room was very plainly shaken, the casements rattled, the floor trembled and a considerable portion of my punch was joltxid over the edge of my tumbler and I fell upon tho table. I had no doubt that I had felt the shock of an earthquake, and I dare say’ my face was rathe; pale os I looked at mv companions toseehotv they were affected by the situation. They did not seem in the least disturbed. Joke and laugh and story flowed on unchecked, by’t I noticed that every man was now holding his glass in his hand. Somewhat reassured, I was on the point of again raising my hand when the booming sound was repeated, the floor shivered, the window panes clattered, and the floor rocked again, and this time the disturbance seemed ‘nearer, clearer, deadlier than before.’ “I could be silent no longer. Addressing the 1 guests generally 1 said: “ ‘la that an earthquake? You appeur. to be accustomed to such things, judging from the small amount of attention you pay to it. “For a moment they all started at me wonderingly. then, with a common । impulse, they leaned back in their chairs and fairly howled with laughter. | '1 beg your pardon,’ said our host as soon as he had recovered his gravity. 11 ‘I forgot that you were u stranger in > Donegal, and knew nothing about the | force with which the big Atlantic waves । . stnke its rocks. A storm is brewing at ■ sea, and the great rollers are just beginning to shake the shore. The shock of a billow on the ramparts mav be felt much farther inland than this, and during a very fierce tempest, when the । wind is blowing straight from the ocean, , the earth trembles at least eight miles . from the coast.’ । “The following morning I drove to ; the beach.

When time was young those pitiless billows wasted their jrowers । ! upon that impregnable slvore, and while time enduros th<»<e everlasting ramparts will beat them back. Os all places 1 have visited in which nature ■ dwarfs humanity, I have seen none where man's littleness becomes so apparent to himself as at the deep-sea coast of Donegal.” Tho Sparrow. For the common house sparrow, os distinguished from the so-called hedge sparrow and the tree sparrow, nothing , can be urged in its favor. Destroy them utterly, is my advice; aid I have . reason t<> think that Miss Ormerotl lias ’ ■ come to the same conclusion. Lxperi- ( i ence has shown that their ill-advised importation into Australia and North ( America has wrought incalculable harm t to cultivated vegetation. The bird is a grain and vegetable feeder for at least three-fourths of the yeav, seeking inJ sects only when ledf-buds and ce; als ere t ; not available for food. Snarrow clubs should b^encouraged in every village ’ ; in order to check the undue increase of s । the species, which, by the by, breeds !at least three time i in the year. In ! connection with these sparrow clubs, it ; is somewhat curious to note that the ’ authorities in some of the English I i country parishes have from time ims j memorial paid the village lads at the _ rate of four a penny for killing these , birds, and have, moreover, purchased ( eggs. And some kind of sparrow seems ( io have been considered destructive in I Syjia in ancient days, for we are ex- . preisl.v told that "two sparrows were sold for a farthing.”— Macmillan'^ , Ala g azine.
