Horses an 1 men were v.ei.ry v, itii a loiiw ride dtiriliL; ihe heat of the day over the it 1 1 los t Insiirinoun t.'lble I'iisscs of Ihe Inoulltll ills. As Ihe party approached the spot where the tiall crossed the brook a ."o'.injj mil. -e,- wi n had been sent for ward to select a piod place for ihe camp reported: "(Ion. I place here, sir. l'leiily of forage and water for I he cat tie and shade for the men." "All rl.ulit. Hunter," was the reply, as Captain Morris swtilij; his horse to Ihe lcnr. "Halt! 1 Msnimm!.

We arc near the reservation and the fellow who fir.iys Is liable to (tet hurt. 1'ass the word, .uonil.-iiicn." Cnmp Quickly Pitched. So saying, the captain dismounted, tossed his bridle rein to his orderly and, placing his back njtainst a tree, lazily supcrliiieiiiled the job of pitching camp from this coi(tii of viintaite. With the ceh-rlly of loii years of discipline and service, the wilderness became a habi table abode lor the detachment In aii Ineligible short lime. The corrals were $opVd off, the horses watered and plac ed under the chantc of a couple of inch to pi'iiy.e ami the w Idle wall tents of the otlh-ers and the walled Kibleys of the r'en placed in regular form. As is cus tomary In that beiiiitlueil region o, licrce heat and sudden cold, the march came to an end in the early afternoon, while the sun even In the mountains was several hours hinh. Scouts were sent forward and everything done to prevent the unnoticed iipproach of white or red man. Supper was cooked nnd dispatched w ith the speed and ap petite which Is eliitendeied in the Alps of America and the camp settled down to the routine of canip duty. Anion? tin- olliceis was a yotmt man recently Joined, who had u taste for mlneraloity and uictalluriiy. He smok ed his pipe In quiet for a lime and then, hav'uiK no duly to lint her him. strolled toward the ituard qua Hers to chat with Huuter. He cast more than one approv ing glance at a huge precipice which oerhuus the (toote where the camp was pitched. I. ike a mlitlity cathedral those rocks lose from the (treen hushes which studded Ihe landscape nl their hpse. riled up In ihe confusion of na ture they broke into terraces, with here and there a break w hieh let In the llht f-f the setting sun as if some In :.'iite architect had carvel windows.

I don'i lay any orders on yon, but If you f.'o I would let the old man know whith er and would take a rille." "Of eourse. .loin me? Hut then you have thai bea-tly pianl duty. Well, ho loiiy;." So sa.vin.'. Mr. Howard turn ed bai k and sought die eomnianiler's lent ami invft rred his reiiiest to po in Ihe i-l iff to i-vplon- for iic-s. While SAID TUB MKAVi:. lh" two olllcers were talking of the mailer they were joined by Hunter, I who iio'ide Ids report and was about to return to nuartcrs, when the cnpinin I called after him. j "See any sins of Indians';" j ' ii. sir, I fancy Ihey are not in our i Immediate vicinity, but the scouts are ! well in ihe front, and If they see any- thimt Ihey are ordered to report at I unco." j "Uijtht. Well, Mr. Howard. 1 will I not object, bin keep tills side of the sent lines and don't pet out of sljtht of i the camp. If you need anythinjt lire your rllle and we will come to you." I The youn.Lt man turned and rapidly strode to his tent near by, took down j his rille and swuiik it over his back, ami, then, so!:'.in a small iteolojtist's kit, started out to see what he could I tiiid. He was soon deep in the under brush, which lined the trail and extend ed somo distance on the face of the cliff. He pluiip'd into it nnd made di rectly for the cliff, intendl-ns lo as cend it If possible and take In some of UK ltOfl'lIKt) I.OSK TO TIIK ( LlfF. the views from higher altitude!). He had to KtriiKitle to p-t lliroiii;h and changed his course more ilian once be fore he struck a spot which promised well for the ascent. He stopped for a moment and. wiped the sweat from his forehead before commencing what promised to be a hard climb. lie scanned the Hat surface of that cliff for some time before he discovered any foothold. Hut dually he saw what seemed to be a wiiidluz stair cut in the rocks nnd crossing the cliff from east to west. He commenced the ascent nnd made very satisfactory progress until he reached tt shelf on the rocks nearly tifty feet from the base of the cliff. Ho rested a moment and looked about for some means of continuing the ascent, but without avail. He sat down ou t bo shelf uud lumluated for a time. Just fti h vii about to descend he observed n fine stone pcpplnu out of Its bed la the rock. He instantly got out ham mer and chisel and began to dig that some oni. He worked hard and lmd ihe jewel loose wheu he noticed small pieces of slone and quantities of dust were descending on ills head. He was not much of a woodman, but he know that some cause must havo produced that dusty rain. lie paused tu his work and cast an upward glance of mingled apprehension, and reproach and was iistonlslu-d to see the tawny hide and glittering eyes of a huge cata mount crouched above hltn on another shelf not more than tweuty-Uve feet from where he sal. 1 fo was im coward, ye: he had never held a private lnter ricw with a catamount and expoii eiic d no desire to come to close quar ters. It was evident the cat was pre paring to leap and Howard did some hard thinking, finally he crouched' close to the cliff and signaled the cat lo conic. The cat did so. With it snarl ami showing of its fear ful teeth that cat lanm-hcd itself down ward like a yellow cloud. It missed tho shelf because li was too narrow to af ford much of a chance in Bitch a leap, but iis cHws clutched the edge and the nnlinal was In ihe act of making n desperate and probably successful ef fort to scramble up to where the young lieutenant was flattened against the cliff. Howard redeemed himself In this Juliet tire by giving ihe cat a swift kick lu ihe whiskers. This dislodged the angry beast, and. wi'h a howl of rage, It partly twisted itself about nnl sprang wildly out Into space. It clear ed the intervening rocks and fell like a wet blanket ou the roof of a huge cinnamon hear, which had been sleep ing Ihe hot hours away In a clump of bushes at the base of the cliff. Then the fun commenced. That cin namon let go his right and that cat was sent sprawling twenty feet. Tho cat was a lighter and resented the In sult by declaring war ou the spot. He lot only declared, but he prepared to mix with the bear. He sprang at bruin's throat, but the bear ducked skillfully and clawed a handful of wool fami the cat's back. The cat made an other rush ami succeeded tills time In fastening his fangs in the bear's shoul ders. The lear immediately took a chancery hold and begaa his famous representation of now to squeeze a fel low to death. The cat was game, nearly ns large as the bear and full of fight, and with a desperate effort he tore himself loose and also made several ragged holes lu the bear's fur and hide with the claws with which his hind feet were en dowed. Again ihey came togelher and Ilowifrd, who had been standing in a trance watching the tierce combat, re gained his senses long enough to take aim at the battling brutes with his good rifle, lie stepped near :ho edge of the cliff and was about to turn loose with his gun when the sharp report of a ritle above him caused hlui to lose his balance and he tumbled hendlong to join bear and cat. "Injun" on the Pcene. l'or a time ho thought he hud been shot, but as he felt none flu; worse after the tumble. Inning dropped Into some heavily follaged bushes, he jump ed to Ids feet and opened tire on the lighters. As he did so ihe cat sprang into tl.e airand fell with widely sprawl ing legs at quiie a distance, and then lay still after clawing up all tho lnisliea near it. while the bear spun arou.ld and around as If chasing lis own tall, ilow-! ard knelt and sent In another shot, as there was an echo from up tho cliff.' This time the bear slowly straightened and with several bullets in his body' yielded up the ghost. Howard started to examine the quarries when he was' astounded to see an Indian in a mon grel costume of cavalry trousers, leaih- or hhlrt and war bonnet of eagle fc.ith-: ers rapidly rush down the cliff and claim everything in fdght. "Injun kill," said the brave, with a sweep of his arm. "Injun did nothing of the sort," was the retort as Howard pushed a lot of cartridges Into the magazine of his litle. "Soldier kill and soldier will Just boss the Job, If It's all the same to you, my buck." The "injun" showed a desire to mis war medicine, and It is doubtful what tho result would have been but for the" timely arrival of Captain Morris and il squad of troopers on the run. The cap tain took in the situation at a glanco and ordered the Indian arrested for shooting off of Ihe reservation, loaded the bear and cat on the men and lead the way back to camp, lie also called in the scouts and gave them a, good in whaling. As a conclusion to his monologue he remarked: "If It had not been for the recklessness of this young fellow I would not have known that there was a 1'te In Colorado, ex cepting by consulting the war maps and geography. Oct away with you and see if you can redeem yourselves, (iciillenieii, hereafter orders not to leave camp apply to olllcers as well ns men." Good Advice, Though.
