for protection from tho nan's rays, a
medley of mangy curs and pplou dogs,
panting with tlio heat, whilo stretched
on tho ground in tho shade of thondobo
ttorowas o, motloy crowd of Mexicans
und Indians to unused to haUo that pa
tiettco aud waiting were instinct, hard
ly habit.
Hodgson, tho junior subaltern of tho
cantonment, nw galloped through tho
group of tethered ponies and flung tho
reins of his hot horso into tho inids.t of
a pack of punting greyhounds that fol
lowed and wcro soon crouching in tho
scant shado of the artobo wall ng-inst
wlu'ch tho Mexicans wero lying. Hbdg
eon was clad in scrvico cords, jeruoy and
sombrero, for ho had been t .using jack
rabbit with greyhounds on tho me a.
Ho entered tho trader's storo brusquo
ly. "Mail not in yet?" ho uskcd. "Ut
is not, lootennnt," answered tho trad
er's clork from behind the lattice whero
ho sat working at tho mouth's postal re
port. Coggins spoko shortly, without
looking up, for ho recognized tlio voieo
as tho yonngiter's pleading for square
letters, and it annoyed hint It had
successfully made the same appeal each
mail sinco Hodgson joined tho regi
ment) 10 weary months before, as Cog
gins could bear witness, for ho knew
tho Fecrets of tho cantonment, keeping
them in mind, having no cause to speak
of them to others, save to O'Leary, who
could hold his tongue. Coggins was
fond of tho youngster, liking him as
heartily as ho hated women, whom ho
thought minions of tho devil, mado for
man's confusion. Ho even loathed their
dainty letters, regarding them as en
snaring missives, corrupting alike to
rank and file, and believed thoy should
bo proscribed from military correspond
enco or treated liko mails from infested
districts, bringing maladies whoso flres,
onto lighted in tho blood, will novor
coaso in tho idleness of camp and can
tonment, disturbing aliko good com
radeship, health and duty.
Coggins himself had been n Foldicr,
serving two enlistments beforo getting
his leg shattered and shortened in an
Indian skirmish. Sinco scrvico ho had
olerked somo 20 years for. Sullivan, tho
trader, and seen scores of youngsters
join from tho "Point" at this frontier
breaking yard. Somo wero uow captains,
returning for their second tour of
Arizona duty, with double bars well tar
nished. Frontier lifo compols men to
observation, so Coggins felt entitled to
his own opinions. In tho remombranco
of theso veterans in their callow "shave
tail" days, knocking about badly and
hardly bridle wise, ho folt his opinions
woro oven entitled to respect, but ho
kopt them to himself, save when speak
ing them to O'Leary.
Tim O'Loary and ho had joinea as
"recruities" in tho same batch from
Depot, so O'Leary was a man of privi
leges. Many wero tho nights after
"hours, " when, alone in tho general bar
of the trader's store, they discussed the
"needs aud tindiucies av tho service"
At presont tho "tindinoies" displeased
them.
"Oi'll tell you phwat ut is, Coggins,
ut's thim woekly mails ull bo Binding us

"And who would bo knowing nv that

Tho duty was not exciting. It miht
provo only a 80 milo rido on his favorite
saddlo horso across tho weary, brown
dosert under a grilling autumn sun, but
it was Hodgsou's first detached service.
IIo was to ascertain tho cause of delay
of tho mail, and riding along ho tugged
at his fatigno blouso to sco if tho order
given him Iry tho adjutant on leaving
tho po3t was still in his pocket.
Hodgson was secretly glad of this
field service and welcomed it as a par
tial escape from himself, for ho was ex
pecting an important letter just how
important this story is written to show
and with expeotancy, inaction mid
heat ho was getting nervous. Chrls
topherson might have drunk nativo
brandy and bo lying by tho roadside, or
his mulo might havo gono lutno, as had
happened beforo, for tho road from Sail
Carlos to Florence climbs tho rocky
comb which crowns tho Pinal divide,
as tliobo who havo onco travolcd it well
remember. The Apaches may havo ap
propriated both mail aud buckboard.
This last eventuality was so pleasing that
Hodgson, being.iuoxpericueed, clung to
it closely until from familiarity tho
idea soeuted probable.
Tho commanding officer at Fort Mil
ton as Woll as his less versed subalterns
kuew better, as Hodgson should have
known Tho Chirachucas wcro on tho
reservation, all lmviiig drawn beef the
day before, elho Wilson, with White
Mountain scouts, and not he, "would
uow be tracing up tho mail. Besides
Apaches now rarely attacked mails
which wero watched and protected, find
ing rcmot6 ranchers moro profitable
proy, as their ffiendlcssucss often mado
disappearance unknown and unnoticed.
Theso are the deductions of wiser men.
and Hodgson had but latoly joined, co
ho rodo on planning the attack mid lo
cated it in n littlo orroyo which holds
vory tnugly somo hundred yards of tho
Floreuco road whero it reels off the
Pinal foothills to cross tho Rio Gilo.
Just why Hodgbon should havo lo
cated tho attack on tho mail iu this par
ticular arroyo ho himsolf probably could
not tell you and is uo part of my story,
but that it actuully occurred thcro is
mero coiucidenco, unless you credit tolo
pathy, which I profess not to under
stand. Tho locality was well chosen, as
is easily seen by thoso who havo passed
it Tho inclosing hillsides of tho arroyo
aro eovored with granite cairns, mid
they may imvo suggested to Hodgsou's
oxcited brain certain pictures from mi
old "art of war," illustrating tho de
ftnso of stono Btrnotures, showing loop
holes aud crenulated flanking arrange
ments easily reproduced by imagination
from tho freaks erosion had played
among tho patches of bastard grauito
now exposed aud left lyiug liko great
brown scars on tho bare bosom of this
narrow valley.
Tho detachment halted on fording tho
Rio Gila, aud whilo O'Leary was wet
ting and filling tho lieutenant's canteen
Hodgson's eyes wero resting on a foot
hill Overlooking his chosen valloy, ond
from it ho was deploying his littlo
squad in rapid couutor attack. Yes,
Christophorson had at that moment been
surrounded, and ho was just in time to
orotcct tho jn?ill
In a moment tho Apaches wero re
pulsed, and ho had saved from savage
hands his lfctter. Ho had picked it up
from tlio ground, whero thoy had drop
ped it Yes, it -was tho samo old hand
writing on tho samo "old roso" papor
as always before. Ho was just about to
open it when reason, for 6omo nnaccoun
tablo freak, shpno for an instaut ou his
vagary mid asserted that, as Christo
pherson broko camp at Rillito arroyo on
Friday morning, ho could not possibly
have any concern with Apaches thero on
Saturday afternoon, and tho absurdity
striking in his roverio took on n moro
rational turn.. Of courso tho mail had
been attacked thero Friday morning,
and now h'e had plokod up tho trail,
was following it hot hasto over tho
rugged Superstition rnngo mid was
heading for tho four peaks of tho Mat
zatzals. Ho hud followed this tortuous,
arid trail many days aud was rescuing
that precious letter, whilo his own tired
saddlo horse, headiug tho detachment,
lmd boniP him from Rio Gila to Rillito
arroyo, as tho road winds 0 milts.
Hodgson wits not even aware that ho
was nearing tho arroyo, so engrossed
was ho with his imaginative war chaise,
until O'Leary, riding cloho behind,
jalleij put, "Lootcuaut, they've boon at
utngalDl"
Starting from Ills rovtrle, Hodgson

acts of plain duty In the struggle for
material existence nnassociate'd with
gloiy. Tho iden was as now to hiln as
it was wholesome for this was tho first
time his experience had confronted it.
Tlien they picket! up tho mail and
sent it back by two troopers, with the
hotly on tho buckboard. Hodgson exam
ined tho letters several times. Tho ono
he wnntcd did not come. That meant
another weck'B waiting, so ho was glad
that meantimo ho could bo following
the trail.
In reality thoy mado a dry.camp on
it that night in tho foothills of tho next
mountain range. Lying in tho wealth
of a wosteru suuset, Hodgson had often
viewed that most gorgeous pilo of form
nnd poloriua known as tho Superstition
range, and now that tho trail led there
ho felt glad, for ho wisiieu to vuii it.
But by night they had lost tho trail in
this arid fastness, and being all day
without water wero .barely able, with
much Buffering from thirst, to get their
jadud animals back to tho Rio Gila.
Hodgfcon had now seen four years'
service, and next year, if poker pros
pered, lio could goou leave. Already ho
could hold his own in tho gamo at tho
traders' club. Ho worried leat of the
cantonment abont.mail, thereby gaining
Coggins' comploto approval. Only onco
on rcctlirg nu announcement two
years before, copied from a society pa
per, nutl again rt few months later, when
reading of a wedding did ho evince
auy iuteix'fct In tho.inuil. On tho latter
evening ho did not caro for tho club,
but smoked alone in his quarters raid
burned somo letters alter roadiug them.
Then suddenly ho seemed seized with
nil iho cynicism youth freely flaunts no
if it vanity feds affected to caro only
for married, women mid a few like
tranrpurciicies. Then, in illustration of
his pr.efeience, ,dov.oted himsolf violent
ly to Mrs. Blank, a clover, kindly fouI,
who understood his symptoms, humored
aind helped him, being a good woman,
possessed of tho best of husbands Inci
dentally or from hnblt Hodgson dovotcd
himsolf to duty, and now that Wilson
had staff woik ho was given tho scouts,
a promotion which provoked comment
from O'Leary, who said to Coggins, "Oi
tell yon, Dan'l, Oi hated to soo so foino
a lad punis.hcd wid filch n conipl'mcent. "
For a company of scouts meant annoy
alicos not met with in tho management
of ordinary troop routine-, but it had its
compensations iu opportunities for field
service,
Nowshad como that a sheriff and dep
uty, guarding prisoners from Globe to
Florence, had been overpowered and
killed. Hodgson was to take tlio trail at
onco. In n fow hours tho Bcouts had
found it leading from tho old Floreuco
road noar tho Gila, crossing whero tho
killing had occurred. It led through tho
Superstition mountains, which ho had
not had occasion to visit siuco Chris
topherson's death. Soon ho found him
self again on tho samo rugged trail and
had passed tho point whoro beforo ho
hpd lost it. Tho Indians wero evidently
neauing lor iuu iuuiu uasiu wiu uj juh
to retuni to their own resoryo, Onco
amoug thoir tribo, only tho roloased
prisoners could be identified, and tho
perpetrators of this last bntrago would
bo lost
Tradition Warns you that if ono en
ters far into tho Supcrstitiou mountains
ho will never return, tho country being
too rough for animals and too dry for
man. Prospectors who havo penetrated
tho edges of this rango Bay that it is
filled with mineral, unprofitable for
want of water, Cattlo do not rango
thoro, and men hunting largo gamo go
to tho timbered mountains, so a trail
aoross this chain would lead whoro no
ono wished to go save Hodgson, whq
now went for sake of duty. Ho pushod on,
with sullen, dogged courage, over tho
Btpny trail.used as n lost tituo gaining
refago by hnnted savages iu theso most
arid mountains of our most arid land
until ho emerged, almost mad with
thirst, ou tho Rio Salinas, in tho Lower
Tonto basin. Thencu tho trail led into
tho Sierras Auchas, and iu this great
altitudo it wop lost under tho flmt fall
of autumn euow.
Thero was nothing left for nodgeou
to do now but to jotum to tho reserva
tion, as tho Indians wero evidently try
ing to do, for tho eastern foothills of
thin sierra border tho San Carloa reserve,
audtho Indians would not remain long
in tho snow. Hodgson must luako u do
