We depended largely on his skill 46 supply our party with fresh meat, though occasionally ono of us would take a day off and hunt with him. .When we had an abundance of meat, all would labor at mining. One day Karina came tunning down from -the side of a mountain and In formed us that a large animal was on the mountain side. Grasping our rifles, which were near at hand, our whole party, guided by Karina, set out up the mountain side. In about half an hour we came in sight of a monstrous grlxstly bear. Wo were so anxious to (bring him down, it being the first that we had seen, that we opened fire on Mm some distance away and succeeded Jn wounding him. Bruin, Instead of beating a hasty letreat, gave a fearful roar and charged, on our party. Crack! crack! went our rifles, but bruin did not stop. In another moment he was In our midst and, rising on his hind feet, gave Kverett a swipe with his forepaw that lifted him clear of the ground and landed hi in In a tree-top fifteen feet below. Another step and Billy and the Professor went tumbling down, Charles exploded his gun in bruin's mouth just as he gave It a clip that sent it hurling through the air. The next moment he caught Alonzo in his powerful arms and brought him up against his body to give him death's embrace, Just ns Wahkcna dropped his gun and, drawing his knife, sprang on bruin and plunged It up to the hilt and Riving It a tum withdrew It from his wide. The blade wan too much for bruin, for with the blood gushing from the wound and his mouth, he released his embrace of Alonzo, and with a deep growl fell over dead. The battle had been fierce and the victory won at a fearful price. There was not a mem ber in the attacking party thatf.vns not more or less bruised or Injured In some manner, though fortunately no bones had Been broken. After we had assembled together and gone over the encounter, we proceeded to skin and cut up the carcass and pre pare for taking It to camp. It is hardly necessary to add that it was several days before all had sufficiently recov ered to resume work at the mine. CHAPTER V. Apaches. ABOUT this time a fearful blizzard of sleet and snow raged through the mountains for three days, which kept us confined to the house for that space of time. It was the first severe storm that we had encountered and we were pleased to have such com fortable quarters in which to protect ourselves from it. Again we resumed mining and nil went well for a time. One day Billy and Wahkena returned from a hunt ing expedition down the valley and re ported having seen quite a laige party of Indians about twenty miles away. We were filled with alarm for fear that they might discover our camp and try to capture or drive us out. What were we to do to avoid this? We finally decided to send ii scout down the valley each day about three miles, to a pointed knob that commanded a view of the main valley for some miles in the direction that the Indians had been seen, so that should they ap proach we might have timely warning. We also had the Mexican remain at or near tlfe house armed, so that should anything happen to our scout, or should they succeed in evading his vigilance, they could not steal our animals and stock of provisions and ammunition without our ibeing apprised of the fact. We went to our work each day heavily armed and prepared for battle at a moment's notice. Ten days passed and nothing having been seen of the Indians, we decided to send Billy and Wahkena down the val ley, where they had seen them on their former expedition. We cautioned them to exercise the greatest discretion for, were the Indians to learn by any means that white men were in their country, they would not rest until they had driven us out. Departing on their journey, they penetrated fifty miles down the valley, returning on the third day. They reported that the band of Indians that they had seen on their former expedition had moved down the valley and that they had failed to see one on their trip. From this report we believed ourselves compaiatlvely safe end withdrew our scout but left the Mexican on guard. Karina had become very much Inter ested, during the meantime, In our machine to discover gold under the sur face of the ground and spent a larger portion of her time in moving it around and. looking down In the earth and tell ing us what she had found. One day, about a week after Billy and Wahkena had returned from their scouting expedition, she came hurry ing down tne cieek. her face alb wreatned in smiles, and exclaimed: "I have found lots o gold." We paused In our labor, when she said: "Come with me nnd I will show you more gold than you can carry." We dropped our shovels and followed ler up tho stream for some little (Us ance until we came to where the In. itrument stood, when the Professor (lanced In for a moment nnd then said m an agitated voice: "Karina has nade the most wonderful discovery of 41. There is an abundance of gold .ere. The 'richest placer diggings, I erlly believe, in the whole world." One after another of our party glanced in, after the Professor had stepped to one side, and then wo hast ened back to our sluice-way and, pro curing picks and shovels, hastily re turned. We set to work to uncover the treas ure hidden beneath the soil nnd labored until dark. The next morning we e turned and at last had the satisfaction of seeing It uncovered. It seemed to be what is termed, In mining parlance, a- pocket of gold. Several huge nug gets lay exposed to view. Billy exe cuted a double-shuffle, such as had taken so well with the pretty girls back ji In Pennsylvania, vhllo tho Professor, with dilated eyes, sprang down In the nple and bending over grasped one of thp nuggets-nnd endeavored to raise It from the bed In which It had lain so Ions, But the weight was such that he was compelled to release his hold. As he straightened up and placed one handon his back, crack! bang I bang I went the report of firearms in the direction of our ranch. Charlescried out: "The Indians have attacked the Mexican. Let us hasten to hla rescue." felztng our rifles and belts of cart rldgr, we advanced on a run In the direction of our quarters, having first bIMen Karina-to hide herself until we came for her. The firing continued for some moments and then all waa quiet. We aoon came in Mfat of the house and advanced " ;wc hundred yards of It before the Indiana observed us. Homo of them had broken down tho fence to drive our stock away.whtto some had dismounted and entered the house. Wc gave them a volley, and ien tho battle opened royally. Thero were be tween fifty and sixty Indians, and at our first discharge two or three tumbled from their ponies. We con cealed our bodies as much as possible back of trees and poured a continuous deadly fire Into their group that seemed to have a very demoralizing effect. In a few moments they laid their bodies close to their horses' necks and dashed away out of our range and halted. We foolishly came out from cover nnd exposed our number. Mad we remained concealed there la but little doubt but that they would have retired from the valley, but when they saw how many times they outnum bered our party, they were fierce for battle and in a few moments com menced to circle around us, their horses on a dead run, so as to expose us to a fire on three sides. It would have been a most magnificent sight to a dis interested party could he have seen it. Horse and rider seemed to bo one. The long flowing hair and clothing of the rider streaming In the air back of them made a picture long to be remembered. "Xly God," cried the Professor," they will kill Karina." "No," calmly replied Karina, ad vancing. "I am here. Had one of our number fallen I would have taken his rifle and shown them that Karina can fight as well as die. Karina does not fear death." "Most noble girl," cried Charles. "Conceal yourself as much as possible until such a time arrives. Form men In the Bhape of a half moon and lay ing down conceal your bodies behind tiees. Keep cool, and when you get a shot let It be for the heart." In ii moment the Indians wheeled their horses and made a dash directly for us. It was an awful moment of sus pense. Our lives seemed to be In the balance. Crack, and an Indian tumbled from his saddle six hundred yards away. Crack, crack, went our rifles and the battle was once more on. Almost ev ery shot seemed to take effect nnd a brave, every now nnd then, was sent to the happy hunting grounds. At fifty paces they slightly wavered nnd then kept on. At twenty wo sprang to our feet with a revolver In each hand and with a yell of triumph poured such a terrific fire in their midst that they beat a hasty retreat. We con tinued firing at them until they were fully out of range. The battle over we looked over our number and while no ono had been killed we found that most every one was more or less severely wounded. Charles had lost a thumb, Billy was wounded in the thigh: Kverett In the shoulder: Alonzo In the leg, while tho Professor had an arrow sticking in his thigh and a serious wound in his right arm. Wahkena escaped without a wound, although he had fought brave ly. Advancjng to our house we found the Mexican lying outside dead with a number of wounds on his body. Ho had put up a Tjold fight and had slain two Indians before they had killed him. Zoheka and his wife lay Inside of the house. Their scalps had been removed and both weie dead. Karina and AVahkena were filled with grief at the loss of their parents and the terrible way In which they had met their end. After we had dressed our wounds received in battle, wo bore the bodies of our dead to a small building Inside of the.lnclosure, near the outer edge of the park n which we kept our dynamite. AVo then obliterated the traces of the bloody deed In the house as much as possible. The Indians during the meantime had icturned to tho battle ground bearing a small dirty white flag and removed their dead and wounded. Knowing that wo were liable to be at tacked again by them before they would be satlslled to retire, we p:o ceeded to put every thing In the best shape for our defense. The dynamite was brought out Just after dark and a hundred and fifty pounds was planted under tho direction of Charles, about fifty yards from the house over which the Indians must pass, unless they crossed the cieek. should they advance on us. The wires weie then attached to the mass nnd run to the house and fastened to the battery. Having par taken of supper we endeavored to calm our wrought up feelings and procure a little rest before morning. Charles and Wahkena remained on guard, peer ing between the logs of tho house to see If the enemy approached. All, how ever, went well until about 3 o'clock In the morning when we were aroused from our slumber by a terrific explos ion that made the earth tremble so as to throw us out of bed. Tho shock was followed by falling bodies and rattling stone. When we ventured out in the morning wo found a hole In the ground ten feet deep around which lay several mangled bodies. The sight was shock ing but there was no one to blame but the poor wretches whose bodies lay nround. Such was our verdict as we deposited them In the excavation and coveied them with earth. The dead being buried we held a con sultation as to what was best to be done and came to the conclusion that It was only a question of time before a luiger force would be brought agalns: us and then wu would, piobably, be exterminated. We finally decided that as soon as our wounds had healed suffi ciently to allow us to ti avel In comfort wo would take our gold and depart. Having come to this decision wo re moved tho gold from tho pocket which we had uncovered and made all prep, uratlons for the leturu Journey. We estimated that we had not less than 44 The Laborer is Worthy of His Hire." But a. wage-earner can get more for his personal ser vices if in strong and vigorous health.

You are certain to lose the money you fay for tuition, because their methods of Instruction are illogical, and the results without value to any one desiring educa tion for its practical use. Our system of Correspond mko Instruction in the Industrial Sciences was originated in The International Correspondence Schools, of Scranton, Pa., in October, 1891. -Since that time, we have taught the Theory oMhe Engineering Trades and Professions, as well as AUchanical and Architectural Drawing, to thousands of industrial workers, and have qualified them for respon sible positions. Our rolls contain the names of students in every part of the civil ized world. That a method or an invention should thus extend around the globe, and rapidly grow in favor with the lapse of time, is proof positive of intrinsic value. These great results have been achleed by original methods of teaching methods especially adapted to the end in vle Our Instruction and Question Papers and our Drawing Plates differ widely from school and college textbooks and cost us over J 300, 000 to prepare and our Imitators are compelled to employ a. cheaper but an utterly impracticable method that of using textbooks of colleges and the universities. 1 r ".If tlie industrial classes could learn drawing and the mathematical and physi cal sciences from ordinary textbooks, there would have bsen na held for The International. Correspondence Schools, and our grand army of 160,000 students could neer have bein assembled. .Our 'instruction tand Question Papers, and Drawing Plates, differ from the textbooUs'.used-;by 'students In the regular schools in the following important respects': 1 FIRST', 'Jhey are mastered more easily and in l ' .- . , 1 leSS 'time. The theories and demonstrations of science its abstractions are always difficult. Our textbooks contain only the facts, principles, aiid processes absolutely required by the student Inhii trade or pro fessfon. 'These are usually easy to learn and to apply. Tho workiiigman has not the -time to study 'all the matter contained in the school and college textbooks, neither does his'work require him to be strong in abstract theory. Hi the prepar ation of dur Instruction Papers, neither time iur expense'is spared to secure the greatest possible simplicity and ease of application. We do not occupy the time of our-students 'In fh study of the derivation of rules and formulas; we teach them how to'apply rules and formulas. 1 SECOND: TneU dre m0re Practical, ordinary school v anj college textbooks, such as are used by our imitators, contain no examples relating to Mining, .Mechanics, Steam Engineering. Electricity. Architecture, Plumbing, Heating, Ventilation, Sheet-Metal Pattern Drafting, or Chil Engineering. In each of our Courses, the examplei and processes refer directly to .the trades or professions of the.class of students for whom the Course was prepared: so that from ths beginning our students are getting valuable knowledge and are learning to apply It, THIRD: 0ur textbooks are written by men strong both in theory and'practice. The authors of textbooks intended for use in colleges and universities have thorough scientific training, indeed, but they have little or none of the knowlidgethat can be gained only by doing by experience. They do not know, and. therefore, omit to mention in their books the way in which innumerable scientific facts may be applied in simple operations of the trades or professions. These applications of science ar e familiar onlv to the expert both In theory and practice, and only such men are cm ployed as Editors and Instructors by the Management of these Schools. FOURTH' Tne men tnat make our textbooks su " pervise the instruction of our students. No one can teach' the contents of a book so well as the man that wrote the book; he knows better than any ono else what is in the book, why it Is there, and its importance with reference to the other parts of the ent.re subject. FIFTH- They are frequently revised. Being private ' " " property, protected by cop right, school and college textbooks cannot be clianged at the pleasure of those that use them. In order to correct what is wrong, Improve what is faulty, smooth away difficulty, and Insert what.isof later discovery, changes must be made ery frequently. Our Instruction Papers belong to us; and In our Editorial Department, they are in constant comparison with what is latest and best; faults, omissions, and crudities of every kind, are therefore remedied without delay. In ths case of textbooks on Applied Physical Science, the need of revision occurs with special frequency. Take Electrical books, tor example; many works on this subject printed five years ago are now nearly worthless, for the reason that they are out ot date. SIXTH' We teach industrial drawing by an origi " nal and very successful method, m Mechan ical and Architectural Drawing, special Plates were prepared at an enormous expense both in time and mon.y. They have been copyrighted because they em bodv a method of Instruction entirely new one that has been extraordinarily pro ductive of practical results. Our students In drawing make as rapid progress in learning and become as proficient as the students of the regular schools and colleges. The principles un derlying our system of teaching drawing are entirely different from those in tho .systems employed In the regular schools, colleges, and universities. and there is no other system by which drawing Is taught as successfully through the mails. Any system of education by the correspondence method that relies on the use ;:nooi ana coiiena icxikuuks win e id 111 money for such tuition will get no returns. of school and college textbooks will end 111 failure; the student that payshls If you want to educate yourself in the theory of your trade or profession, If you want to become a draftsman or to add to your earning capacity the strength that COMES FROM THU UNION OF SCIENCE WITH PRACTICE, we can. help you.
