Wal, jedging froji the way thet hoss is ii hitting tho trail, we can mighty soon tell now." said Hank Shoter And soon tie sight that greeted out eje showed us that there was trouble somewhere, for out of the dust and glimmer sprang n powerful white mare, while on her back, securely tied to the hentv frontier s.old'e, was th new set ter's leetle gal.' With atonished and anxious faces, we sprang to the mare's siJe, and lifted the little mii.1 out of the saddle; and big lurk curried her tenderly in o the dug out, while with wondering faces the rest of us juietly followed. "I'lea-e. Mr. Kig.lack. I've brought a letter from pap." "A letter, child. Vea'e brought a letter twenty rnibs ter me. What in the name o' tt e Urc.it Medicine war ver dad a thinkin' erliut ter iid a baVy like you with it?" T don t know, please, Mr. Rig Jack, perhaps he's hurt, cause his ryes were w-t and mamma was crying.

S I beat her all the war, and camw drefful juick," anJ juoing from the mare's heaving sides, the little one had ridden her for all she wns worth. "Wat. give me ther letter, leetle un. an' we'll mighty sn see what's wanted." The letter bad been securely, fastened to the little one's dress, but it was soon iu Jac k's bands. Sissy, don't yer fet I like eatin a bits of grub, and dlrinkin a cup of coffee?' "S. thank you. sir. but I am sleepy, and very tired, and " "Juan, keep the child sort of amo4 fer a minit. an' boys come"; and big Jack led the way to the far end of the room. "Hoys, here's the deoce ter pay." In a low voice, he read the letter; To iw Roy at the Plot Corral: I was oat ob the riJrv at tbe back of ssv sSantv, and not over twenty miWe awaj Msbi band or Apaches comisr Thj 'llj ttti b here laetd of three boor. airl Is a itood ridsr. sad tbe mare is awe- fuots4 s jot for footed and t&t. so I sead tak bjr bar, assise; raiJ.

Tears were in oar ye, as Jack finished the short and rather incoherent letter; and then, good heavens, to think that we were onlr seven in aLL "O boys, if we were only a few more.'' "W bat can we do. Jack! "Wal, I'm a feared if we tried ter cit help from tbe Cactus Ranch it would b too late w "Do the leetle gal know the trouble?'' "No." "Wal, let's ask ber ef har dad hav got shooting irons.

But we have ter leave one man with the bosses, an' what are six agin a crowd?" And truly it looked hopeless, but O, to think of the fate of that gentle mother and tender babe "Bovs. this is maddening. We mast do somethin." Jimmie had by this time fixed, the bunk and taken off tbe chad shoes "And now, dearie, pile in, an' take a real good snooze, "But, Mr. Jimmie, yon most hear m aav m v nravert first. If a' shell had come crashing into the dug-out it could not have created more astonishment than the simple request of the child. Quick witted Jimmie had, however nulled himself together ouicker than a dash, and before the child noticed the astonished and confused looks, he had carefully spread a bearskin on the dirt floor, and gently as her own mother bade ber "say her prayers. The beautiful Lord's Irayer was re peated in the clear voice, and tbem came, "And please, my Heavenly Father, bless my own dar papa and mamma, and little baby brother, and 31 r. Big Jack, and all the boys at the Stone Corral. Starting up and drawing the back of bis hand hastily across his eyes, and en leavorinc to steady his voice, big Jack raid: "Jimmie, you an' Juan stay an' tend ter the leetle un. e uns are erg in to help the folks." Crash, and the dug-out door flew open, and five deternined men yes, men in every senso of tho word that night rushed to the corral, buckling on the heavy six-shooters as they ran. The heavy stock saddles are slapped on, and m .scular arms tog and tug at the long latigo straps, until the chincbas seem us if they would cut through hair and hide, so tight are they. "Bo sure and ciuch 'em well, boys, we can't stop to tighten 'em after we get etaited." "Ay, ay, yer kin bet on us, Jack." Are yer all 0 K?" "Yon bet." "Then head fer the Baldy Mountain an' if ever you spurred, spur this night" Out and away, leaning low, until our breasta almost rested on the saddle horn, and with spurs tightly pressed against our broucho' side, we swept swiftly awxy from the stone corral. Big Jack wui uti the left and a little in the lead; and as we rushed over a low sand ridge, I saw him and his horse showing dark and clearly cut against the sky. 1 fe was riding his bet this night, and his blue, rotn was stretching himself like a thoroughbred. And now we came to a long stretch cohered with loose and jagged granite: at any other time we would have pulled up and carefully picked our way over. Bat to-night the stake we were riding for was far too precious to care for horse flesh, or even our own necks; so with slightly tightened reins and only our toes resting in the broad stirrups, we pushed madly across, the sparks flashing as the iron shoes clashed against the rough rock. Across at last, thank God. and once more on the smooth plain, our gal lant cayuses, with ears well forward, and distended nostrils, were stretching them selves and throwing dust like heroes. Out of the sand and upon the rim rock we tried a spurt, but the iaded ani mals were doing their best, and the steel failed to get an extra jump out of them. Another mile would bring oe to a poial where we would be able if it were day light to see the settler's cabin. Through a long sag, then a dry creek bed; crashing through the stunted wil lows that lined its banks, we breasted the slight ascent, and in another minute were on the summit. We involuntarily checked our panting horse, and a thrill of horror ran through us as we saw a bright glare of light ahead. "Too late, too late. boys. Tho reds have got 'em." Jack'a voioe Bounded almost like a groan. "How far are we from the place?" . MKrbout five milea 'round by the wagon road, dut we kin lead our horses dow n the deer trail and git thar in two." --Then let's follow the deer trail; w mar vit be in time ter help 'em soon wav."" Leading our stsggering, trembl'ini horses, we cautiously crept down the precipitous trail, and mountain, headed straight fer tbe (Urs, which even In tht valley could be distinctly seen. Nobody now remembered that we were only five to thirty, and. goaded and cut by the spurs, tbe cay uses carried us rap bllv over the groena. When within half a mile we halted in the shadow of . some overhanging rocks, while Hank cantioaaly crawled a p, and out on a projecting shelf to reconnoitre, for if the Apache had any eooaU thrown out we should have to be caret al, as our only chance ef success waa to surprise them. While we were waiting we cars f ally exam ined oar six-ehooterm. susd la another minute, to our great joy. Hank, was telling ns that the barn was on fire, but the dwellinc-bouse was still intact, and that be could distinctly near the crack of riflee, showing us plainly that the brave settler waa still del ending kit Uted oner- "X oojt, here's ther best plan I kin ti. ax on I taia t- extra moca ol a rineral. ut I ber an 'idea thet it'a the beet w r fer os ter do We'll lead ear crittt.s dowr this gnYj till we git ter thet scrub brush wo kin do thet without the rt-ds-ke'.ching on t ma then well mount. Yer see by tLat time the cayu sea will be gifting their-wind purty welL Xhen we'll ride 'right square down on em, yelling like fury aa'.wbarerer a red cits op we'll down him. Then if they make it too hot for us, well dodge inter the cabin. An what then, Jack?". ' Wal, we'll sorter help the settler to hold the fort. Anyway we kin keen 'em from eettinz the ahantr afire, 'till tbe cavalry cornea. By thia time the tmope most be on the trail an' after 'em red hot They can't Ha great ways off, nohow." " Silently as spectres then we led our horeee down the gully, carefully avoid ing the rocks that here and-there cropped out through the sand. Reaching the scrub willows, we found ourselves within 300 yards of the house, and perhaps about 400 from tbe burning barn. Climbing quietly into our saddles, we bent low to keep oofV the glare, and Jack whispered. "ArV yer ail ready?" "Yes." whispered back, and we pressed our sombreros tightly down on our heads. With a rush and a crash we tore through the brush and rode at fall speed out into the clearing, now almost as light as day, for the big, heavy barn timbers were burning clearly and steadily. Across we went, our exoited animala plunging and leaping like panthers, but still no Indians. Fast the house and within a few yards of the burning: barn we palled up. The silence coifused us. Were we to late after, all? Mechanically we closed' up a fatal move, for with unearthly yells ens a 2l lJf and Dlood-curuiing wnoops, ine inaians, from a low sag in the ground on the left. sent a murderous volley crashing into 'our midst. Down went our brave horses, and down went their riders, four ot ua scrambled to our feet as we cleared our selves from the stirrup leathers, only to throw ourselves behind our lead-riddled, dying animals just in time to save our sehes; for again the villains poured their lead into.ua this time, thank heaven, doing ua no harm. Using our horses for breastworks, we tried to return their fire, but they were effectually concealed. "Anybody hit?" "Yes, I saw Hank throw up his hands and fall face down." "Boys, we've got ter get out of this or they'll surround us sure." "Kiu we make a break for the cabin?" "I think we might manage ter crawl thar, by kinder keepinc the horses be tween us and tbe red cusses.'' "Hark, somebody is holering!" Looking over our shoulders, we saw that the door of the shanty was partly open, nnd the settler vigorously beckon ing to us. ' "We must try an' see if poor Hank ia clean done fer, fust." One of tho boys crawled cautiously around to the dead horse and fallen rider, and returning in the same manner, whis pered sorrowfully that "poor Hank hed passed in his checks." "Now, boys, we'll make a run fer it, stoop low," and with a spring, away we rushed for the door. Another streum of lead whistled by us, but nobody fell, and in another second, we were inside the heavy door, and help ing the settler barricade it. "I heard you when you charged by, men, bat it took me some time to open the door, as I had a hull lot of things piled agin it?" "Are ye all sate so tar, Manionc "Yea, thank God. My wife Is guard- i a J le tng the back oi tne nouse, ana m wtrhinc this nart What we feared most is that they will fire the place, like they did the born. My little daughter reached you safely, did she?" "l es, and is staying in tbe dug-out at the corral. We left two of the boys ith her." "Now, men, I'll show you the loop holes in tbe logs, and I'll go and tell tbe wife the little one is safe." Hour after hour we strained our eyes, peering through the loop-holes trying to catch aigbt of the redskina. But they were very wary and seemed to have a wholeeome dread of venturing into the firelit space in the front of the house. Presently Stanton came quietlr in and said: "Itoys, there's something going on at the back that I don't understand.' Leaving one man in the front room. we repaired with him to the room in the rear of the building. Jack pressed his lace close to a loop bole and stared steadily out into the darknesa. Suddenly he atepped back, and, pulling his six-shooter, pointed it through the loophole and fired. A wild yell of rage answered the shot. "Ana. I thought 1 could fetch him. I saw him crawling up, an' had a burning atick under his blanket I guess he won't burn no more shanties. Give me a chaw of terbacker, somebody." And now we saw a faint streak ol dawn in the east, and soon tbe sun was gilding the distant Baldy Mountain, and what to us was a far more welcome sight still waa glistening on the seab oards and accoutrements ot a company of I'ncle Sam's boys aa tbey came through the pass at a sharp trot The barricaded dwr waa quickly thrown open, and rushing out we saw the Indians in full - retreat a mile out on tbe mesa. Judging from their haste they must have seen tbe cavalry, for tbey were pushing their poaie. . Tbe cavalry bad also caught si gut oi tbe as, for tbey were coming like the wind, and aa ther swept br, in apite ol our weariness and grief at the loss of our pard, we cheered tbem until we, were hoarse..' Thoarxt dar we obtained horses and safely eeoorled the settler, his wife and oaby to the Cades Ranch. Overland Monthly. rJAYalUSG. lie aeat a bonoh of roaee sweet Lnto hie Sunday girl.

This may seem a hardship to some, bitthe msjority of oar citizens fed that' immigration must be regulated much nvore carefully in the future than it has bejn in the past. The alien tide grows fullered stronger every year. Our superior advantages here, such as the greater liberty, freedom from burdensome taxation pnd from mili tary servitude for a term oftbe b at jcais of life, higher wages snd fawer hours of, labor than in the old countries, the op portunity of rising socially all these operate to increase immigration.
