lovely old lady always knows how to make
a picture of herself, by a profusion of soft
IBM and teuder greys. She shades her white
hair with whiter laeeS, and covers hor neck
with a snowy kerchief, and drapes her

tier a flnul grace, that light laoe or crape i

Such an aged woman is in perfect harmony
with her years, and she affects all OUrSCDSeS
pleasantly, she never muses criticism and
dislike, as do those bowigged, befrlnlod,
painted wrecks, whose grasp on'alife that

lovely old lady is wise enough to renounce

For the tlrst time since lit had joined us, I
noticed that our guide was troubled ut the
absence of his son, and his anxiety was
shared by all bis associates.
We bad hardly completed our defence,
when the two troopers, who had bOOn OCttng
as vldettes, a hundred yaids in front, dis
ebarged their carbines to give the alarm, and
then came running in with anxiety in their
faces. In reply to a question, oge of them
gasped:
"The Apaches are close by, and the wood:)

A chorUS ol shrill yells, and the whiz of
arrows falling into the stockade, convinced
us the Soldier was right.

assigned to him, we heard Pedro calling from
the other side of the canon, which was about
two hundred b et ac ross, and, as it seemed to
us. entirely impassable for man or horse.
Th" boy was right as to the place where we
could be found, but knowing nothing about
the canon he wus not prepared for It.
"Thank the saints!" eried the guide as he
piously crossed his breast, "that the boy is
on tile other side !"
I took a looi: across tho awful chasm and
saw the boy coolly stroking his horse, and
imagined that I heard 'he joyous whistle

I could not make out the boy's response,
but from the tone of bis voice I interred that

It grew dark very rapidly, but as it would
have .been courting death to make a fire or
to show a light, we had to g- without coffee

After three months hard Work, we reached
tho northern spurs of the Sun Francisco
mountains in Arizona, and here, for the first
tune, the recently extinguished flres told us
wo were in the vicinity of th" ApOObOS, whom
we were so eager to avoid. After that euir
sleep was not so peaceful us it had been.
Judging from the signs our guide thought
there were at least two hundred people in the
Apache band near by. and he frankly told us
that it would go hard with our little party, if
(he Indians attacked us with all .'heir force.
The nearest point from Which we could get
assistance was Fort Whipple, ninety miles to
the South, the intervening country being
hilly and cut up by deep, dry canons.
One afternoon the Indian signs were so
fresh about lis, that, acting on the guide' s
advice, we went into camp nn hour earlier

Stone thundering down, and announcing that
tho boy had lost his foot-hold, or a horrified
scream tolling of his fall, but no noise, save
the melancholy moaning of the wind, came
up from the black depths.
After a wait that was painfully long, we
saw a flash across the canon, followed by the
sharp crack of the rifle, and aloud or in their
boarts nil the listeners fervently thanked
Heaven that the boy was over.
Our guide did not think the Apaches would
attack before daylight, and, as it wus neecs
