CnUMMIXGWITHAXAPACIIE
Never go chumming with an Apache,
ays the San Francisco Arrjttnaut. You
smile at such xtrauge advice? Well, I
might have smiled at it once myself.
But we are all creatures of circumstance,
and I was a teud .'rfuot then, anyway.
This is how I chummed iu with my little
Indian:
1 was swinging my red and blue clubs
under the peier tr at the back of the
railroad station. This I did because I
had a theory that exercise wan good for
a man living ouadu-rt. The lazy Mexi
cans and most of the Americans there
abouts hud no ruddy glow on their faces.
They were all sallow. 'What I wanted
was a ruddy glow.
My red and blue clubs circled about
very prettily that day, nud the ruddy
glow came j also a dripping epidermis
and a big desire to sit down iu the shade
of the peper tr-e and blow tobacco
smoke. The tree was a small one. When
the btatiou tank ran over, which was not
often, its roots received a little moisture.
So it grew, slowly.
As soon as I dropped my clubs a squeal
of disgust went up from somewhere, and
us I turned about I saw a small browu
head dart behind a cactus lined rock.
I said nothing, but leaned buck on my
seat, pulled my sombrero down over my
luce, auu slii' in mod sleep, with one half
closed eye ou the rock and the big cactus
shrubs. No use. You can not get an
Apuche out of his hole that way.
Next day, with my beartiful exercise
theory still bristling iu my brain, I
turned quickly, while in the midst of my
club swinging, and saw the wide open
eyes and gasping mouth of the cuuuiug
est little savage I had ever beheld. He
sprang about and fled behind tho rock,
but not too quickly for me to read "XXX
Family Flour" in large red letters ou hie
back. His one short garment was a cot
ton sack, with holes cut through it for
his head and arms.
"Come, Tads," I cried, christening him
in that fleeting second with a name that
stuck to him all his life, "out of that!"
And I jumped behind the rock, swinging
an open hand that did not grasp the flour
sack as I had intended it should.
Where was the wee savage!
Like a lizard he liad darted from sight
somewhere iu that little patch of rocks
and cactus, though there did not appear
to be cover enough there to conceal n
jack rabbit.
"The spines must scratch him," I
thought as I looked at the prickly cactus ;
but I did not know then how Apaches
put up with such small irritations. Not
wanting to give the boy unnecessary tor
ture I went back to my clubs. Throwing
my eyes about again I caught another
fleeting glimpse of the brown head as it
dodged behind the rock.
Tads must have been disappointed next
day, for there was to club swinging
under the pepper tree. The duties of
telegraph agent lay too heavily upon me,
and the sun lay too heavily ujion the
desert. I saw Tad steal away from hu
lair about two hours after my usual ex
ercise time and walk down the sand drifts
with a dejected air, his one garment
flapping in the hot wind.
A wild nature like his was proof against
such snares as the toothsome confection,
the golden orange, or the mealy peanut.
I found that out by trial iu the course of
the next week. Hut an old jackknife
won him over. That was something his
Apache mind could grasp. It was n
greater delight to him than the red and
blue clubs. Sworn friends from that duy
were Tads and I. His talk was a ridicu
lous mixture of English, Spanish, and
Apache, and his voice was very throaty.
But I understood him.
Indian like, he said little. It was,
therefore, easy to get along with him,
He would sit for hours on a high stool,
listening to the "tunk-tunk-tunk" of my
souudur. Tho tclpgraph was an awful
mystery to him at iirst, and it squelched
his imagination ; but he solved tho prob
lem at lost. A man away off over the
mountain spoke with his finger to me and
I spoke back to him. That was his idea
of it, and it was not such a bad one,
either. Thehummingsof the wires over
head were the voices of people with pon
derous lingers, but they were not of thia
world.
How tho cowboys laughed when they
saw Tads and me iu the stationl
"That tenderfoot's a queer one, " they
sa'd of tne.
The despised Apache could not crawl
jnto their hearts no, not even if he were
a 0 year old.
"He'll steal everything the tenderfoot's
got, " they pleasantly avorrod. But ha
did not.
When Tads loft the station of an even
ing his little brown feet pattered straight
over the road to the wickiups, a halt milt)
away. In lime he wore a narrow trail
over to the huts.
"IV.ty veil," was what Tads would
grunt to me every dsy w hen hi? came
ehyly into the offlca and I greeted him
with ft friendly "How-de-do?" Then he
would shrug his should ! iu a way that
wrinkled tho thrc6 Xs into such be
wildering folds that you could not hav
read them unions you had known what
they were beforehanl.
One day while he was meandering
about the plttce, grui. ting quietly to him
self, ho upaot one of try butU'ry j.rs.
"Ta l,' I criod an.rily, for the dmort's
breath was hot upon me and was irri
tating enough, let alone spilled vitriol,
"you're a little beast! Skip out of here,
or I'll take a stick to you!"
Then arose a great howl from Tads,
and he kept on howling until an Apache
woman came over the sauds from wick
iups and gathered him up in her arms.
She was his mother. She eyed me sus
piciously and walked away with her
highly demonstrative burden.
Of course I regretted my hot language
and wanted the little beggar back again.
It was so lonely there ou the desert. The
wire wailod so heart brokenly, while the
sun beat down so fiercely in the daytime,
and the coyotes jelled so dolefully at
night. How he h-J crept into my heart,
to be sure!
It wa several days before we were on
satisfactory terms again. Tails wanted
to be a white man. lie wanted to tnnke
"talk marks" on "popper" with a feather
I sometime used a quill pen, be it re
marked and he wanted to speak with
his finger. Well, 1 did manage to tea h
him a few letters from a railroad yU t,
and he learned to drawl out "T-a-d-s" in
a droll way. Wi.h perseverance that
w as really startling, I afterward took him
in an uncertain way through a page or
two of "Can You See the Fat Ox, "and
so on, wherefore his heart was glad.
"I'll lie white mans, heap sure," he de
clared in his bullfrog voice, after he had
accomplished this wonderful feat.
Great distress reached Tad's soul on the
fatal day when the wickiups were taken
down and the trilie mounted their mus
tangs to go over tbe hills. Apaches had
to search all over the station to Hud Tads.
At last they hauled him forth from under
my bunk, screaming like mad. Of no
avail were his screams; of no avail were
lils cry, "Me yanter to stay wid him ; me
yanter lie w'ite ina..s!"
Apache papas are unbending and
Apache mammas are inexorable. Away
they whisked Tads, leaving behind bin.
a Underfoot with a queer feeling in his
throat.
" Well, the boy has the instincts of a
white man," I said, for I was proud of
what I fancied I had made of him, "and
he'll be a shining light among those
devilish people of his. If we had a few
more like him to put among them, the
Apache question would settle itself, and
w e could set our soldiers to hoeing corn. "
I lien 1 took up the restless life of acity
man, and a big and busy railroad oftlce
claimed a good share of my attention for
the next 10 years. Yes, it was fully
that long before I again set foot upon the
desert. Our train stopped at the old
station. How the pepper tree had grown,
to be sure! In iu shade sat a cavalry
sergeant with a half dozen of his men
about him, and in their midst were three
Indian prisoners who were beiug takon to
the fort to be shot.
They were tierce looking fellows, those
three savages. There was one, the young
est, who wan a perfect demon, the soldiers
said.
"Killed three women and two babhs
down at Mustang Wash last Tuesday,'
said the sergeant to me, "just after one
of them had given him his breakfast, too.
Ho is a young one, not more than 17, 1
should say, but he's the worst red devil 1
over saw. "
Gazing at the boy captive, a strange
feeling stole over me. The stolid fact
was oddly familiar.
"His name? Blessed if I know," said
the sergeant; "what do you call yourself,
young one?" he asked, giving hint a not
too delicate poke with the toe of his boot.
"Me? Why my name's Tads!" grunted
the boy.
"Talks pretty good English for a wild
devil who has been over the Mexican
border so long, doesn't he?" asked the
sergeant, turning to me.
But I said nothing.
Blight Make Small Beginning.
Ho was a big, blustering follow, and
when he stepped into the store the pro
prietor hurried to wait on him. His pur
chases amounted to about two dollars
and a half, and when they were all
wrapped up he said :
"Chargo it to ine. I'll drop in to-morrow
and settle it."
"No," said the little proprietor.
"What Period the big man. "Don't
you know who I am? I'm "
"I know that," said the tho proprietor.
"But that is all I know about you. I
can't charge it. "
"You can't? Why, I cai buy ynur
blamed store. "
"Yes," acqulesod the little man
mildly.
"Including the building und lot."
"Yes."
"And you won't charge it then tome?"
"No."
The big niau seemed lo twell up with
wrath.
"Iok here," ho cried. Til buy youi
whole outfit. I'll show you whether I
am good for two dollars and a lnif or not.
Just you begin to figure on tho price and
I'll come in to-morrow nud take the shop.
I'll show you what I am worth. "
"You might begin now," eaid the little
man.
"What?"
" You might begin to-day. You might
buy thut package now and you won't
have so much on your miud for to-morrow,
I'm willing to knock off the in
terest on the two dollars and a half for
a day. "
Then the people had to come In front
the street to prevent a disturbance.
