It wa.-11't a fortune be sought n Ari.na's j.lahis, for Jak was a Ihilosoihi(-al young man. and didn't U-lieve that fortune was pather- d off of every bit of Wesu rn sage bush but a life worth the living. A bron- bo was to take the j.laee of a wheel; a pair of buckskin jianls, a Manii.l shirt and a hroad-hrimmcd w-su-rii sombrero were to replace the natty, short cycling trowsers, the white sweater and the silk can of his New York cvcling .Livs. The half-do4'ii uu-n sittiug around the camp fire at jst four on X ranch, in Arizona, looked worried. One of their number was somewhere on that broad stretch of sand t the northward. Whether or not he was yet living was only conj.-cture on their part, for a lutid of AjKichi-s hail left the reserva tion two days before and wen dealing K-a!h and destruction anion.; the set tlers and cattlemen. Jack Andrews, t!ie missing lji. inU-r of isr-t four, hail gone to the nearest railroad station ioriv nines away, lor the mail ami au express package for the manager of the ranch, a remittance to iiav the monthly salaries. If nothing had go:ie wrong, he should have U-en luck ere this, but with a land of blood- Uiirs.v Indians, beaded by that terror of terrors, the Ajiacbe Kid, roaming over the Arizona desert ill si-arch "of tu-alps. Ins friends had grave fears for his safety. The missing herder should havclm-n in camp by the middle of the after ii'xm, but as daylight faded into twi light and then into d.vpcr darkness of night, relieved only by the glimmer of e.mntless twinkling stars, and 110 Jack apjM-ared, their fears for his safety in creased. They talked of the Aache raid and the three cattlciueii who lutd liccii so ruthlessly murdered by the In dians lul tell miles west of them the day l-fore. Fphh thai their conversa tion drifted to the death of Harry Wil liams, whose- horse had falllen with him during a lonely night ride acrotv thetk-sert, and then of others of their friends w ho had met similar fates on Arizona's broad plains. They could imagine a lone horseman wanderinc a!out the sand hills and sage brush of the ds rt necking a lost trail, or they -:itild imagine 3 crippled horse, whose rider, to pat it out f Its misery, had bad to shoot it. And then a picture of the rider, attempting to make camp acr.iss the sun iarchcd desert on foot, would i kiss K fore their menial vision. Ami so the long night hoars wore away, with nothing ore alarming to disturb them. It was not until au hur after sun rise that anything was seen of either Jack or the Indians, aud then both Cillie together. Far away to the north a mere black speck appeared moving over and around, aud iu and out among the hills of sand, gradually growing larger and larger. .Close In hind this object was a cloud of dust out of which came a Uinl of bor-s-im u.

"I supjswe you're l.s.king at that af tiir I rode in 011, and wondering wlurt sort of a thing it Is, w here I gathered it in, and w hether it would 1 any gsl as a cow pony or not," said Jack, bv way of introduction to his sto ry " ' "Well, boys, it's quite an xix-rieiw-e. and, Atkins, if you will kindly favor me w ith a bracer from that fla.-k or yours to wash down a wt or tins -Arizona sand, which that develLsh thing has l.slged in my throat, I will relate it.- Jly the way, you niigin own up a goodly supply of the most v hilcsoiiie food you have, as I haw Im n living princijially on hope for the past few hours.

Thanks. "But, lys, like yourselves, I wasn't always a cow puncher. Once uim a time I wore dude, clothes in New York t ity, and, while I didn't ride thing just like that, I rode something similar aud which answered the same purpose. None of you have U-en away from a civilized community so long lut that you can reincmler one of tlnse things the? called a birvcle, although they were not very numerous iu our days. Well, that thing there, acrding to my way of thinking, must lie a new fangled I4cyde. "As I was saying, I rode a bicycle over New York city streets in the days when I was younger than I am now. Mine was what they culled a fifty-eight-inoh wheel; that is a big wheel, fifty-eight ittclie high, with the pedals fastened to it, and a small one that travcl.il along U-hiniL Iu those days tike governor was a broker oil Wall street, with money enough to buy half of this .blasted territory.

It w ts soon after that I drifted out west and learned to ride cow po nies iu place of bicycles, an occujiatioit I have found it convenient to follow for aUmt fourteen years now. "When I started for the Hap day lie fore yestcr.lay I rode what I thought was the liest little broncho mare iu the west, and J guess you will (tune mighty near agreeing with me. lk-ss and I covered the forty miles between here and the Jaj the first day, taking it ea sy like so she'd lie fresh on the rc'.UTii trip. "The train from the east wasn't due until the next morning. I put !l-ss in the stable, then went over to Johnson's and Uiught the customary stacks of blues and whites. ISy two o'clock I had just about enough left to uty for refilling the pint thtsk I carried, so I ijUit the crowd and turned iu for w hat was left of the night. The train was some three hours late the next morn ing and didn't reach the Jap until af ter eleven. Il was au hour later liefore I was ready to leave, and on account of it being so late, had I not known that some of the men were ankious for their money, I would have stayed over a day. Then, too, I had heard some ru mors of an Indian raid and, if jiossi ble, w tat 1 t g.t baek t t!u r.tuch U-fore they got this far south. It is ncedles to say that I HUiveedcd only by a very close margin. "Several things hindered our rapid progress, aud six o'clock last evening found us only fifteen miles from the Cap, and twenty-five front the ranch. I hadn't seen a sign of a rod-kin at that tint.- and was Is-ginning to feel ca sieron that oiut. "We hadn't gone two miles more when p.sir Itcss stumbled, and I heard something break as she went dowu 011 her knee never again to get up. A leg was broken, and I emptied two liam-Ls of my gun into her forehead to ..1 .. j., . .. put iter out 01 iter misery. 1 u il vou. !ys, nothing ever hurt me as much as that did. R- and I had b.vn c im- panions for years. She had carried me through many a tight phuv, and had m;re than once saved my life by outrunning the blood-thirsty Apaches or a herd of stampeding steers. It sounds sort of weak to say it, I supihtse, but there in the gathering twilight, with no friends nearer than the tiap or the camp hero, and with prolisbly a dozen or more foi-s following my trail, I sat down tieside the dead bodv of lless and sheil the first tears I hail known siniv I was a I toy. "Hut crying over dead horse flesh wouldn't get me out of the hole I was in. All these little oceurreinvs lutd taken time, and it was quite late beforc I again thought of starting for camp, There was nothing to do but foot it, and the sooner I started, the sooner 1 wimld get throttgli. "I hadn't been tramping fifteen minutes when I struck an Indian trail running east You can proletbly im agine U tter than I can tell you how I felt. Alone and afoot, twenty mile from the nearest friends and hostile Apaches no telling how near. . You would suppose I would naturally work away from the Indians instead of to ward them, Imt I didn't. Some uncon trollable impulse made lite follow them. Tlie trail was fresh, and I knew tot how soon I might strike their camp and tall into their hands, yet I couldn't turn back. " I lutd traveled aUiut three or four miles when I found tlutt machine. The Attache's gun and knife had done its work, for beside the machine lay the soalplcss coqise of a cyclist. Proliably a tourist seeking Uith health and pleasure by a trip throughout the west on his wltecL there were evidentlv two of them, for a short distant away was another wheel track running east and west, but I didn't follow it. The minute tliat I found the dead traveler tin? spell tliat had drawn me toward hint seemed broken, and I wanted to travel in the opposite direction as fast as I could. "The bicycle offered the opportunity I for more raidd travel msr, if I could ride it. and I believed I could. It tor-! me some tinte to get the hang of tl thine, but after many falls and more bruises and scratches I succeeded. " It isn't necessary to tell all of the little incidents of last night ride. When morning came, and I could tell where I was, I found that, w ith all my traveling, I was still some eight nine from the rauch. I also found that the AiRtches had struck the trail of the wheel, and liavini followed one the dav U-fore. w ere uot as much mystified bv it ps I could have wished. "I was. I should jude, altout three or lour miles aitcaa 01 mem, uui knew that unless I could strike smoother traveling they could easily close the distance U-twceu us before c'uld cover the eiht miles. A mile more and the trail got harder and smoother; then I increased my ace. The Indians st-emcd to increase theirs also, but I could see that the little dis tance Utween us was not lessening so rapidlv. " Oli, wliat a race that was ! And, strange to say, I enjoyed iu tvery muscle was strained to the utmost Nota pound of strength that I could command but what was thrown into the ts-dals of the machine. Memories of happy days long past were revived. and I could feel the old blood coursing through my veins, the first time for manv vears. For the time I seemed to forsret that mv nursuers were Indians seeking my scalp ; It seemed more like ahot spurt with the -boys at home, with myself as iacemaker. Not till heard the clash of saUrs and the shouts of the men in B troop God bits them did I sit-in to fully realize what the stakes iu that race had been. You know the rest lietter titan I do. Now, Utvs, let us drink to the health of that other cvclist whose trail struck. I trust that he may have escatjied its easily as I dM, and may a kind Providence overtook any little ir regularities in the life of the one whose Usly lies nioldering under the rays of an Arizona sun this morning.
