THE NAVAJO'S RING. "I tell you, Miss NU, it's not safe for yon to ride over the' range so much" all alone. That Navajo's plumb crary about you now, and he's liable to do you some mischief ' - . The speaker, a handsome, bias eyed young fellow, clad in the rough garb of a cowboy, with broad sombrero, heavy j leather leggings, - or chaparejos, bis buckskin gloves thrust through bis car tridge belt, stood leaning against' the doorpost of a typical Arizona ranch bouse, : In one band he beld the end of a long hair rope,' the other end being fast to bis pony, which, all saddled, stood pawing and restless, eager to be j away on the range. Blnng on the near side of the saddle was a Winchester carbine, ' for between white and red thieves the cowboys had .to be ready for all sorts of emergencies; and, be sides, the big gray wolves were begin- wolf scalp was worth 30 at the conn ty seat, : The person to whom these remarks were addressed stood idly switching her riding habit with her "quirt," a hand some piece of cowboy work, over which one" of her many admirers had spent hours by tbe light of a campfire in plaiting and decorating it with "Turks' heads" and other fancy knots known to cowboy qairtmakers. She was;, all rendy-for n ride and waiting only for ber pony to be. brought pp from the corral, where Juan, the Mexican, was saddling him. Therewasa pleading, patbetio tone In the man's voice that spoke the lover, even bad his eyes shown, no sign of pas sion, bat his words seemed to rouse all the womanly stubbornness in ber mind. Her red lips curled and her brown eyes snapped aa she said: "Ob pshaw, Mr. Cameron, you're always worrying about some imaginary danger I I'm perfectly able to take care of myself. Please re turn me my ring that is, if yon bave finished examining It."- s ' ' A hot, red wave swopt over Cameron's face, like the shadow of a cloud across the prairie on bright day, and be stood for a fall minuto idly turning the ring in question upon the very tip of the little finger of his own large, sun browned band. It was a splendid speci men of the Navajo silversmith's art Now, the Navajo Indians' blankets bave made them famous, but they de serve quite as much fame for their can ning as workers in silver. ' This ring wss indeed a gem. ' It was wide, as most of . their rings are, was cut in two on tbe inner side so that it could be made larger or smaller by springing it to fit any finger, and in the top was set a turquoise as blue as a summer sky a stone precious to the Navajoes that among tbe tribe would have bought 20 ponies, a hundred sheep and squaws galore. Around the ring ran tbe most delicate and intricate carving, and the whole effect was at once unicfae and barbaric. - The girl's hand was outstretched for tbe ringand almost mechanically the man turned and dropped it into the up turned palm, saying as he did so: 'Well, "Miss-Nell, I've warned you, and I'm sure if Mr. Hull were here that Jie'd feel just as I do. I can't go with yon today, for I've got to go orer tbe other side of tbe mountain to see if I can't find those lost horses, and won't be back till dark." The girl, scarcely heeding bis words, took tbe ring, and in a mock heroic sort of way kissed and slipped it on to ber engagement finger, with a gleam of mischief in her eyes, at which Cam eron, stung almost to madness, smoth ered a groan and strode across tbe porch, his spurs clanking on the floor, Catherine: nn his hair rope as he went, until reaching his pony, with one hand on tbe pommel of the saddle and the other on tbe pony's mane, he, In true cowboy style, leaped lightly into his seat without aid of stlrrnp and, bring ing the coil of rope down on the ani mal's flank, went off down the Hoe of wirj fence on a dead -run anq soon turned out of sight around a low bill in tbe valley. Tbe girl watched him is silence un til he was lost to view, when, with a gay laugh, she turned into tbe room saying: Poor Com! What fun it U to tease him I"- A. moment later, Juan appearing at the door with her hone, she pulled on ber pretty buckskin gloves, and, saying "Good by, Mary, I'll be home by noon" to the heavy faced cook, who stood watching hr from tbe door of tbe log kitchen, she rode off almost as fast aa Cameron, but in a different direction. e e, - : Three months before these incident took place George Hull had gone down to tbe little railroad station, some SO miles from, the ranch, to meet his wife's only sister, who was coming to spend tbe summer with them in Arfsona. and from her first dsy she had taken to the life like a duck to water. Bbewas a fearless horsewoman and never so hap py as whea out on tbe rango .Tiding with the cowboys, if tbey were there, or alone. If tbey were not Kill Steele Was a warm hearted, impulsive girl, but she cocld do more help making a gUve of every man she met than she could stop breathing. It was an easy talk forber, too, and it mattered not whether it was some high bred, e abat ed gentleman or a rough Texas pnncher" who bad never la all ois life spoken a dosen wcxds to i ofberclaae. And naturally, with such eurroundings, with men man's wi, she soon had tbejebol. country at h feet. Of tbem all. however, young Camer on bad by tt the worst cae of It, and the girl, while in br b. 'J pleased with bis attentions,' seemed to delight In keeping him in a state of ab solute misery by alternately raising him to the -very highest pinnacle of happiness end anon dropping him down into the bottomless pit of despair. Deep down in ber heart she knew be was her ideal, but she could not resist tbe temp tation to coquette with and tease him. Cameron had come west for his health some years before... Too hard applica tion at college bad seriously impaired bis strength, and he had been ordered to live in the open air for several years. Letters 6f . introduction to George Hull had brought him to this ranch in the high mountain country of northern Ari zona, and he had taken to the cowboy life from the very first, until- now he was looked Upon as one of the most trusted and satisfactory "boys" on the place. ...''' -.The ranch to which George Bull brought his pretty sister-in-la'w was lo cated near the line of tho N. vajo In dian reservation, and as tbe Navajoes are great roamers it was nothing un usual to bave them banging round there. One day a party of them came, bringing in some horses the boys bad missed for some time. It was Miss Steele's first eight of the Navajo, and she came down- to the corral where they were all gathered to see them. Among them was a young chief named Cbatto, who had attended an Indian school at Albuquerque and could there fore speak fairly good English. He was a picture of savage finery. Around his waist was buckled a costly belt made of great plates of solid silver, in his ears hung huge silver rings, each arm was clasped by half a dozen bracelets of the same precious metal, and bis moc casins and leggings were thickly stud ded with bnttons fashioned from dimes. quarters and half dollars. " Across hie shoulders bung a gaudy JNavajo blanKet, and his horse's bridle was fairly weight- Indian silversmith's skill, ;:: It was but a few moments before Miss Steele was bartering with bim for a bracelet, bat of no avail. He would not sell at any price. However, when the' other Indians left he staid behind, until, as dinner, bour was Bearing, the boys asked him to eat with them. It was soon evident that he had eyes only for Mies Steele, and' after dinner she spent an. hour talking to him of his school experiences and in trying to learn a few words of the Navajo tongnei The next day he returned, and the next, until it was plainly to be seen that tbe gay laugh and brown eyes of the girl had completely bewitched him. One day he came, bearing the ring I have described, and shyly offered it to her, insisting that she must place it on ber engagement finger, which she did, never dreaming that the . boys, keenly watching from the bnnkhouse, had put him Ttp-to it telling him that was tbe way that white lovers did, and that once she put on bis ring she was his by all tbe laws and customs of tho white man. WVum nnmnrnn. who was awav at tbe time, heard of it, he was furious and to Ant atrniirht to Miss Steele and 'urged her to return the ring and banish the Indian from the ranch, trai sne, seeing that back of all bis lover's eager ness for ber safety was a Jover's jeal ousy as well, affected not to believe him and declared ber intention of keep incr and wenrinr the rinr. It was this ring that she, kissed so tragically and replaced on her nana at tne opening 01 the story. - " . On leaving tbe ranch, for the first two or three miles the girl gave her pony an almost free rein. It was a glo rious morning in September, wnen me sun bad lost its greatest power and tbe. air was fairly Intoxicating in its fresh ness. Tbe range nover looKea nner man it did now, after tho summer rains bad covered it with a wonderful growth of grass, dotted with millions of daisies, "Black Eyed Susans" and dozens of other varieties of prairie flowers, which in places fairly made tbe air heavy with their perfume. Tbe trail led her over a wide mesa, and at its highest point she stopped ber pony and drank in the wondrous scene. " Away off to tbe north the great tablelands, or me sas, where live the snake loving Moqui Indians, hung in an almost indescriba ble grandeur, blue and misty against the sky, more liko a mirage than a reality. A couple of ssucy prairie dogs barked shrilly at ber from their adja cent Tillage. A coyote, disturbed by her coming, skulked hastily away from where he bad been trying to surprise a little calf left lying under a sagebush while its mother went on down tbe trail to the water. Above ber, high in tbe heavens, idly circled half a dozen eavy winged turkey buzzards, those scaven gers of tbe prairies, a sure sign that somewhere below them en animal lay dead, and tbey were gathering .for a feast As far as tbe eye could reach were rolling bills, with here and there parks of cedars, while scattered over tbe prairie were hundreds of cattle and horses; for George Hull was one of tbe heaviest cattle owners in northern Art ona, and this was tbe heart cf -bis range. ' ' Across the r Jl-7 below ber she could see the figure of a solitary horseman, which, after scanning for a few mo ment she decided, to be Cameron, al though she had thought bim mile away from there by tbi time. Her pony having recovered bis wind, she rtsrted down tbe uom toward tbe ap proaching figure, glad to tee otne'ha moa being in all that waste of loneli a arrmnii her. As she drew nearer she saw that It was no whit soan, but on Indian, the red aash tied around bis head being plainly visible at quite distance; but stotning oannvea sua arrpi on her course, presuming bim to be tbe Trw4La mall carrier who came la from the agency twice a week with tbe moil ck tied behind his saddle. Am tha diatanra between tbem lessen ed she saw with great uneasiiMaw that it was ber admirer. Uiatto, ana win a ami It v Oar In her heart sb turned off tbe trail and pushed her pony into a tope toward a nonca b horses rrazinK near, as if sb wanted to look at tbem closer.

But she rode the faster, expecting every instant to hear tbe crack of his Win chester. 'Atlost he was within 80 feet of her, and she felt that ber pony had done his utmost and thegj was no escape. Another look over her shoulder showed her that the Indian bad taken down his long rawhide reata and was swinging it round and round his head preparatory for a throw at her.' She re membered hearing Hall tell of Mexican and cowboy fights, where the' victim was roped and pulled off his boraB and across the prairie Until every sem blance of human sliapo was dragged out of bim, and her heart Sank within ber, for she knew by some Woman's instinct that he had realized she had been fool ing him and was thirsting for revenge. Faster and faster they rodn, and nearer and nearer he drew, till she cotrld bear- the ''swish" of the rope through tho air, and she crouched low over tbe saddle to offer as small a mark aa possible, meantime praying for a de liverance which in her heart she little expected would come. - Cameron found his horses bnt a fow miles out from tbe ranch, and, quickly rounding them np, he started t tbs bunch toward home on a sharp run, ar riving there not long after Miss Steele bad gone. Questioning Mary as to the direction she had taken, he struck off again en the range in a course that be shrewdly judged would enable him to meet Miss Steele on her homeward way as if by accident ; Some three or four miles from the ranch the mesa be was crossing ended abruptly in a cliff some 200 feet down, which extended for several miles in on unbroken line, with but one or two places where an animal could get up or down. Tbe view from the edge of this cliff or "rim rock," as it was more commonly called oyegjhe wide valley spread but below it for miles and miles was unexcelled, and Cameron, knowing that Miss Steele must come up this cliff at one of two places, headed for the one he felt she would be most likely to taka As he drew near the edge of the mesa he left the trail and rode over to tbe cliff, and thinking perhaps to surprise a bunch of antelopes feeding quietly in the valley below bim,' ss well as to pre vent Miss Steele from first seeing him should she chance to be below, he left bis pony under a cedar, and, taking his 40.62 Winchester in his hand, carefully walked up to the edge of the cliff. ? The road leading down to tbe valley ran close under the cliff and was lost to sight around a point of the mesa but a short distance to his right Care fully scanning the prairie, he could see no one, bnt from tbe way three or four bunches of half wild horses were tear ing across the valley below him he felt satisfied that either she or some one else bad started tbem, and concluded to wait a few momenta , ; Suddenly from far below came a sound that for an instant sent his heart to his tbroat, for it seemed as if he heard woman's voice, borne upward from around the point to his right, and yet it was far more likely to be tbe al most human cry of a mountain lion or even tbe childish yell of some lone coyote, either of which could readily be mistaken for a female voice in dis tress. . As Cameron stood there, fairly holding his breath in his eagerness to catch the -faintest sound from below, one moment assuring himself that his ears were at fault and the next so cer tain that it was a woman's voice that he could scarcely wait for its repetition in order that he could be sure which wav to no, once again there came faint ly and yet stronger and more definite than before the cry ot oisiresn, ana that voice Miss Steele's, and before be was really sure from which quarter it came there burst into sight around the point of the mesa, not a quarter of a mile away from bim, bat down in the Valley, the figure of a girl on horseback leaning low over her pony's neck and urging him to his utmost speed on the road leading up to tbe cliff, while som 40 or 60 feet behind her, riding as hard as she, was tbe Navajo, Cbatto, hi bead band gone, bis long black hair streaming out in the wind, and whirl ing over his head in a great loop hi rawhide reata. It took Cameron bnt an instant to grasp the situation and see that tbe In dian bad tried to overtake tbe girl and, failing, meant to rope and drag her from ber bcrse. He quickly saw also that busied with bis reata and not bar ing a, chance to use his quirt bis pony was falling slightly behind, for the Navajoes seldom wears spurs, and tbe girl wss not sparing ber pony's flanks, but wss using her quirt at every jump. Cameron's first impulse was to spring down tbe cliff and run to her aid, but with a groan be realized that it would take him too long to do this, fan it was wly by careful climbing that one could ret down the first '40 or 60 feet of the v . a. wall, and tben the rest wouia oe stow traveling at tbe very best The race be low bim was in plain view now. and in a few rods more they would pass oat of his sisrht in tb little side canyon through which the road led up to tbe top of the cuff. To ride beck to that place would tak too long also, and tbe man aalckiv realized that it wo do time for dels v. To kill a Navajo meant trouble for everybody around, for tbe whole tribe would take it up and wreak vengeance upon uy srbit settler tbey could naa ; hence tbe settler dreaded and avoided killinc an Indian except in tb but ex tremity. But Cameron knew that b could kill th Navajo's pony and aave tbe girL Throwing hi Winchester over a rock on the edge of tbe cliff for a rest, estimating tbe distance at 600 yard and taking careful aim at the sOoafcier of th Indian's Dotty be sent a ebot which sped fair and true to it mark.

Presum-1 ing the Navajo wonld try to get to his rifle, which was slung in its bolster and ' underneath the dying pony; and before Cbatto had got half way to the animal, be sent a second shot, which struck be- ' tween the Indian and pony and showed him what caused the animal s fall. With, true Indian instinct he turned and ran . in a eizgag way to disconcert Cameron's aim, to a ditch or wash near the road, into which he threw himself and crawled and wormed his way down to where tbe sides were high enough tb allow him to run in a stooping position to some distance from tbe road. . Meantime Cameron, not daring to leave bis coign of vantage until he knew the'girl was safely up, the- cliff, forced tbe Navajo to keep to cover by firing-an occasional shot in bis direc tion until, with a great sigh of relief, be saw her "raise the bill" at his left and stood up and waved his hat to her. Up to this time she bad scarcely known to what cause she owed ber deliver ance. All she Knew was tnat a snot was fired, and she heard no more thunder of horse's hoofs behind her, but not being too sure of what it all meant she never drew rein nor spared her pony until she saw Cameron's manly figure on tbe cliff and knew that she was safe.

At every hotel it is served with unfailing regularity, with the cafe complet But tbs enor mous demand has .led to adulteration, and the purest honey Is .rarely found in the hotels. The ouvrier class consumes it most largely. With his bread and but ter tbe workman always has honey. It is healthy," he say truly. "It builds up the body and it is cheap." According to tbe meet recent returns. there are about 250,000 hives in the whole country, or one to every 12 in habitants, and the yield of a frame hive often reaches 100 pounds of honey per season. The yielu from a "skep," however, is much smaller, so that, at an average of 60 pounds per hive, the honey harvest of -Switzerland maybe taken at 12,000,000 pounds, or som four pounds per head of th resident population. These figures do not of course, represent the actual ratio of consumption, as account must be tak en of tbe amount consumed by the mul titude of tourists. j ' When it is remembered that the hon ey is gathered only from tb beginning of May until the end of July, that gathered later being required for the bees' own use, it will be seen how un resting Is the energy of the little work ers.
