Here in the sh tdow of this grim mom,lain in camp of calvary-200 men in faded ai d raged blue uni forms, every face sunburned and br nzed, eye y sable and oirbiue showing long use, every horse lif * ting its head from the grass at short intervals Fra swift glance up and down the valley. Here, at the foot of the mountain : the Apache trail, whihe has followed for three days, has grown cold Aye, it has been lost. It is as if the white man had followed a path which suddenly ended at-a precipice, From this point the fed demons took wings, and the oldest trailer is at fault. The men oh picket looked up and down the narrow valley with anxious faces. Down the vaHey, a mile away, a solitary wild horse paws aiid prances anS utters shrill neighs of wonderment and alarm Up the valley is a long stretch of grass, the earth as-level as a floor and no visible sign of life. The pii es and ehrubs and rocks on the mountain side might hide ten thousand Indians, but there is not the slightest movement to arouse suspicion. It i a a still, hot day. Not a bird chirps, not a branch waves. Tho eye of a lynx could detect nothing beyond the erratic movement of the lone wild horse do vn the valley and tb<j circular flight of an eagle so high in the air that the proud bird seemed no lar ger than a sparow. For an hour every man and horse has looked for "signs,” but nothing has been discovred beyond what has been described. It is a slow trail. There is something in it to amuse suspicioi a3 well as annoyance. Ten miles away the rail wat as plain a3 s country high way, and the Indians had no sus picion of pursuit. Five miles back there were signs of commo tion, Hete, in the center of the the valley, every foot print suddec tly disappeared. Look, now! A rergent with grizzly looks and fighting jaw rides down the valley followed by five iroopirs. They are to scout for the lost trajl. Every man has unslurg his carbine every saddle-girth hue been tigh tened, and every man of the six looks over the camp ns he rides out as ifhe had been told that he was bidding a last fnrewell to com rades. They ride at a slow gallop. Each man casts swift glances along the moun'nin side to bis right— along the mountain side to his left —at the given grssi; under (pis hor se's feet. What’s that! Afar up tho «]■ pe lio the right something waves to' ' and fro f>r a niotnent. Higher up | th« signa' is ans wered.

He no longer runs in aitralehthne hut no sweeps away to the h ft—swervet ovtaV to the tight, and changes his gate to a trot. Whin hb hears tlieshnut of pursuit and the lou der thump of hoof neats ho will straighten away and show the pur suers a gait which nothing but a whirlwind can edtinl. Look 1 It is only a quarter of a tui’e now to the turn in the valle. . Tli s lone horse h is sud lonly stop ped to sniff the air. liis ears are pointed straight ahead, his eyes grow larger and take on a frigh tened look an ! he half wheels as it he would gall >p back to those who have seemingly pursued. Five, eight, ten seconds, and with a snort of alarm he breaks into a terrific run, takes the extreme left of the valley, and goes taring out of sight as if followed by lions. ‘•Halt!” The grim sergeant secs “signs” in the actions of the horse. Every trooper is looking ahead an l to the right. The green valley runs into tlie fringe, the fring l into dense thicket, the thi iket into reck and pine and mountain slope. No eye can penetrate lhat fringe. The In dians may he in ambush thtro, or the horse may have scented a wolf or grizzly. “Forward!” No man knows whaldnnger luik in the fringe, but the order was to s out beyond the bend. To di9e b y is ignominy and disgrace ; to ride forward is—wat! ’ih n is no a’r s'i'ing in the valley. Every limb and bough is as still a< if made of iron. There is a silence which weighs hke a heavy b ird -n, and the harsh notß of hawk or buzzard would be a relief. Here is the bend. The valley continues as bef(#e—no wider —no narrower—level and unbroken. Tbe wild horse was out of s gbl long ago, aad the fix treopers see nothing but the green grass as there ej es sweep the valley from side to side. "Turn the bend, and ride down the valley for a mile or so and keep your eys open to discover any pass leading out.” "Haiti” It is more than a mile beyond the hand. No pns-i has been discovered. No signs of a trail has been picked up. The setgenut has raised himself up fi r a long and careful scrutiny, when an exclumation caused him to turn bis face up the valley. Out frim the fringe ride the demons who have been lurking there to drink bl >od. Fjve—ten—twenty— fifty—tie line lias no end. Ii slretclirs clear across the valley before a word has beou spoken. Then it faces to the right and 200 1 ndinns in w if p lint face the grim ol ’ *er cant and his Gve ropers. "Inin line—right dris-!” I is the sergeant who whispers the older.

A Thrilling Story of the Iteseue of Four Men by a llrave (lauudiuii. Just ns r. grain scow containin', a crew *>f four men, ai d towed by two lior-es, swung out of the Chip pewa (Jut into the Niagara rivjr, she met a raft of timber rather near to the shore for t e scow to piss hetwion it and tiielnnd. Tin. scow was foiced to take I lie outside The driver of tho horses did bis best to keep ibe line clear by urg ing his lior-es, b it it finally caught in the logs and snapped. As the rope parted, the boat trembled on the s'-.rtace of the water for an in ntaiit, as if io dread of the t-rril lo fute that awaited it, and then swung around and started for Niag ara Fhl'b at a terrifio pace The scow, being distinrd for canal rav 'igalion, bad no small bail or an clior. Appreciating in an instant their awful danger, the men on the scow yelled to the men on the raft to gut a boat quick. O e of their number sprang ashoro and ran for' Chip pewa, shouting as he ran: “Help! a boat, quick, intm going over the falls! ’ The sound of his voice reached the village considerably in advance of the man, and the cry was there taken up and repeated from street to street. The p'opfe poured nut of their houses and shops, laoh inquiring of the other what could he dene. Some scatter ed to hunt for one,-while those who felt that they c old be of i o use if a boat were found, rail down the i reek Link to see what was the situation on the river. , On reaching it we were horrified to see that the scow had already got conridtrahly below the mouth of the creek, nod was speeding down stream with its precious hu man trcifiht to what set med certain destruction. Some of the men on the vessel were on their knees, with clasped hands and upturned faces, commending their souls te God. Very si on the Canadian bank i f the ri’er was lined with hundreds of penp'c, whi e quite a crowd could also bz seen on the Goat Is ! and side. They wore all agonized witnesses cf four fe 1 low beings in horrible terror. Just as all hope bad been aban doned, nppar ntly. by people on land and the n.en on tte scow, a voice cried from the upper end of the crowd, “Here comes a boat.” [n an inefact everv eye was turned in the dln chon of Chippewa creek, and there most of them recog nized she tall and athli'ic form of a bargeman- name 1 Smith, in an oidinnry clinker 1) at, boldly pul ing into tho rivzr As he forged out in'o the stream he made a hasty survey of tbe sit uation and then plied the white ash with 'redoubled energy. As he sped along, the boat n'most leiipiog fr m the water at each stroke, a cheer arose from the peo ple on tbe shore that fairly rent the air, Tho moment Smith »p --peirel the attention of the.men on the so. w was r voted U| on him and bis frail cralt. On and on he shot, each stroke narrowing the distance between hi n and tho scow, but the latter was getting alarmingly close to the ripifls, ,r > enter which was i-6 tain d'-ttruclioß to all on hoard. Those of Hi nn shore could not help admiring and applauding the heroism of young Smith, but we could an y feel tfi it the resul' of his daring would be U> add an other to ihe bet of ti e lost. At he neared this cow lie turned Iris head and shouted to the men: “Hctt'tei alo/ig the side of the boat an i drop in as I pass by.” The com mgrid was promptly obeyed and in an instant the iittlo craft was alongside. One nfi;r another the rival sprang In, until the lour wer. solely in the bottom. Now came a moment of painful ar.xiely. “ Vhat will he do7” wa tbe query that i nine to ev-ry mind.

In reaching the current leading around the island lay the only hope of escape. Taking a diago mil course across and down the stream, Smith bint every effort to reach the Canadian divide. It was a desperate struggle for the life of five men between the seething, boiling waters and the muscle and endurance of young Smith, with the odds seemingly against him. But ti c divide was finally gnined, with not a boat's length to spare, and the frail craft shot down be tween the island ar.d the u ninland like a rtekoi.
