For B ve year I waa treated by one physician con tinuously. 1 was In business, but obliged to retire on account of my health. A phy sician told my friends that I could not live a month. My feet and limbs were badly swol len, and I was indeed in a serious condition when a gentleman directed mt attention to Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure, and said that his later, who had been afflicted with heart dis ease, had been cured by the remedy, and was again a strong, healthy woman. I purchased a Dottle of the Heart Ours, and In leas than an hour after taking the first dose I could feel a decided Improvement in the circulation of my blood. When I had taken three doses I could more my ankles, something I had not done for months, and my limbs bad been swol len so long that they seemed almost putrlBed. Before I bad taken one bottle of the New Heart Cure the swelling had all gone down, and I was so much better that I did my own work, s On my recommendation six others are taking this valuable remedy." lira.

"Thank God I it's father and the Stone- man party snd Dr. Gray." And Euth, throwing herself upon her knees by her sister's side, buries her head nxn her shoulder and sobs anew for very joy. And then comes sudden start. All In an instant there rings, echoing down the canyon, the sharp, spiteful crack of rifles, answered by shrieks of terror from the cave where lie the Moreno women and by other shots ont along the range. Three faces blanch with sudden fear, though Wing looks instant ly np to say : "They can't harm yon, and our men will be here in less than no time." Out in . the gorge men are springing to their feet and seizing their ready arms ; horses are snorting and stamp ing, mules braying in wild terror. Two of the ambulance mules, breaking loose from their fastenings, come charging down the resounding rock, nearly an nihilating Moreno, who, bound and helpless, praying and cursing by turns, has rolled himself out of his nook and lies squarely in the way of everything and everybody. But above all the clamor, the ring of carbine, the hiss and spat of lead flattening upon the rocks, Drnnimond's voice is heard clear and commanding, serene aud confident. "Every man to his post now. Re member your orders. " Gazing out into the canyon with di lated eyes, Uuth sees him nimbly clam' ber np the opposite side toward the point where Walsh is kneeling behind a rock Walsh with his Irish niua ex ponded in a grin of delight, the smoke just drifting from the muzzle of his carbine as he points with his left hand somewhere ont along the cliSs. She sees her soldier boy, 'crouching low, draw himself to Walsh's side, sees him glancing eagerly over the rocks, then signaling to some one on their own side, pointing here and there along the wooded slope beyond her vision; sees him now, with fierce light in his eyes, suddenly clutch Walsh's sleeve and nod toward some invisible object to the She sees htm clutch Walth'i sleeve and noa lowara tome object to the south. south; sees Walsh toss the butt of his carbine to the shoulder and with quick aim send a bullet driving thither; sees Drummond take the neldglass, and, resting it on the eastward ledge gaze long and nxedly out over the eastward way; sees him start, draw back the glass, wipe the lenses with his silken kerchief, then peer again ; sees him drop them with a gesture almost tragic, but she cannot hear the moan that rises to his lips: , "My God, those are Apaches tool" CHAPTER XL Ten o'clock on a blazing Arizona morning. The hot sun is pouring down npon the jagged front of a range of heights where occasional clumps of pine and cedar, scrnb oak and juniper,seem ed the only vegetable products hardy enough to withstand the alternations of intense heat by day and moderate cold by night, or to find sufficient sustenance to eke out a living on so barren a soil. Out to the eastward, stretching away to an opposite range, lies a sandy des ert dotted at wide intervals with little black bunches of "scrub mesquite" and blessed with only one redeeming patch of foliage, the copse of willows and cottonwood here at the month of a rock ribbed defile where a little brook, rising heaven knows how or where among the heights to the west, comes frothing and tumbling down through the windings of the gorge only to bury itself in the burning sands beyond the shade. So narrow and tortuous is the canyon, so precipitous its sides, as to prove conclusively that by no slow proc ess, but by some sudden spasm of na ture, was it rent in the face of the range. And here in' its depths, just around one of the sharpest bends, honey combed out or the solid rock; are half a dozou deep lateral fissures and caves where the sunbeams never penetrate, where the air is reasonably cool and still, where cn this scorching May morn ing, far away from home and relatives, two young girls are sheltered by the natural roofs rmd walls against the fiery sunshine and by a little band of reso lute men against the fury of the Apaches. Down in the roomiest of the caves Fanny and Ruth Harvey are listening in dread anxiety to the sounds of savage warfare echoing from crag to crag along tho range, while every moment or two the elder turns to moisten the cloth she holds to a wounded trooper's burning, tossing head. Sergeant Wing is fevered indeed by this time, raging with misery at thought of his helpless ness and the scant numbers of the de fense. It is a bitter pill for the soldier to swallow, this of lying in hospital when every man is needed at the front At 0 o'clock this morning a veteran In dian fighter, crouching in his sheltered lookout above the caves and scanning with practiced eye the frowning front oi ine range, declared that not an Apache was to be seen or heard within rifle shot, vet was in no wisa sursrissd Pitcher'8 Castorla. Children Cry for C5r7?lWl J893 CMML52KJJJQj r' I yrben, few minutes later, as be hap- pened to show bis bead above the rocky parapet, there came zipping a dozen bullets about his ears, and the cliffs fairly crackled with the sudden flash of rifles hidden np to that instant on every side. Indians who can creep npon wagon train or emigrant camp in the midst of an open and unsheltered plain find absolutely no difficulty in surrounding unsuspected and unseen a bivouac in the mountains. Inexperi enced officers or men would have been picked off long before the opening of the general attack, but the Apaches themselves are the first to know that they have veteran troopers to deal with, for op to this moment only one has shown himself r.t all. At five minutes after 9 o'clock Lieutenant Drummond. glancing exultingly around npon his lit tle band of fighters, had blessed tho foresight of Pasqual Morales and bis gang that they had so thoroughly forti- ntd their lair against sudden assault. Three on the southern, two on the north ern brink of the gorge and behind im penetrable shelter, and two more in re serve in the canyon, his puny garrison was in position and had replied with such spirit and promptitude to the Apache attack that only at rare inter vals now is a shot necessary, except when for the purpose of drawing the enemy and locating his position a hat is poked up on the muzzle of a carbine, The assailants' fire, too, is still, but that, as Drummond 'a men well know, means only "look out for other devil ment." Out on the eastward desert, still far over toward the other side, a little party ol Apaches is hurrying to join the fray, Two are riding. Where got they their norsesr The others over half a dozen come along at their tireless jott trot it was this party that, seen bat dimly at first, gave rise to such ebullition of joy among the defenders and defended. It was this party that, closely scanned through his fieldglass, occasioned Lieu tenant Drummond's moan of distress. With all his heart he had been hoping lor the speedy coming of relief over that very trail had counted on its reaching him during the day. Ho was sure it could be nothing else when the corpo ral reported something in sight and so when he discovered the approaching party to be Apaches no words could describe the measure of his disappoint ment and dismay. Not for iiimself and his men: they were old hands and had a fine position to defend. His thought are all for those in whose behalf he has already made such gallant fight and for poor Wing, whose feeble moaning every now and then reaches his ear. At 10 o'clock be is able through his glasses to distinctly make out tho num ber and character of the coming party. Nine Apaches, all warriors, but one of them apparently wounded or disabled, for they have to support him on the horse, and this it is that hampers their advance and makes it slower. They are heading for the oasis at the mouth of the canyon. There they will leave their horses and their wounded, and then come creeping tip the winding gorge or crouching among the bowlders from the east to join m the attack on the hated paleface. Drummond can have no doubt of that Now disposi tions are necessary. "Stay where you are 1" he shouts to his men. "You take charge up here, Costigan; I want to post a man or two below at the bend." And down he goes, sliding and scrambling until he reaches the edge of the brook. Moreno, squatted against a rock, glances up at him appealingly. "Senor Teniente, I pray yon loose me and let me help. The Apache is our common enemy," he pleads. An idea comes to Drummond. Wing's carbine can be utilized. He can post Moreno down the gorge at the second bend to command that approach and put little McGuffy, the recruit, at the nexi oena to command Moreno and send a bullet through him if heBhirk or swerve. "I declare I believe I will, you old scoundrel, ' ' he says. ' Here, McGuffy, untie this fellow. I've got to look around a minute. " Into the depth of the fissure where Moreno's women are praying and rock ing he peers a moment. One of the wounded bandits is now past praying for. The other, painfully shot but plucky, begs to be given a chance to fight for his life. "You are too badly hurt now. We couldn't get you up there," is the an swer. "Well, then, put m on with Moreno. wherever you're going to assign him. Surely if you can trust a greaser you can, a white man. I'm only fit to hang perhaps, but d a mo if I want to lie here when there's an Indian fight going on." . . And so he, too, is loosed and lifted t'i Ms feet. Leaning on McGuffy's boulder and supported by his arm, the aie raced stranger, preceded by Mo reno, who goes limping and swearing sotto voce down the rocky way, is led 100 yards along the canyon where it makes a second bend. Here they can tee nearly 150 yards more ahead of them, and here some loose bowlders are hur riedly shoved or rolled to form a rifle pit and theso volunteer allies are placed in position. We cover tho approaches above so that they can't sneak up and heave rocks down upon you. All you've got to do now is to plug every Apache that shows his nose around that bend be low," says Drummond. "McGuffy, you take post at the point behind. Watch the overhanging cliffs and sap- port as best you can." And "Little Mack," as the men call him, gets fur ther instructions as he takes his post' Hon, (instructions which would give small aomfort to Moreno could he only hear them. Then back goes the lieu tenant to whera Wing is lying, Miss Harvey bending: anzionalT .over Aim. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla ner Deautitul eyes DHlng with tears at sight of Drummond's brave but hag gard young face. Euth is crouching by her sister's side, but rises quickly as Drummond enters, her fears lessening, ber hopes gaining. "Any news 7 Anything in sight of ours?" is Miss Harvey eager query, "Not yet but they're bound to be along almost any minute now. Some Apaches whom I could see coming across from the east have wounded man with them. It makes me hope our fellows have met and fought them and are following close on their trail. How's Wing?" She can only shake her head. "He seems delirious every now and then, perhaps only because of so mnch mental excitement and suffering. He is dozine now." "Gallant follow! What would we have done without him 7 I only wish we had more like him. Think how all my detachment has become scattered. If we had them here now, I could push out and drive the Indians to the rocks and far beyond all possibility of annoy ing you with their racket. Of course you are safe from their missiles down here." " Yes, we are, but yon and your sol diera, Mr. Drummond! Every shot made me fear you were hit," cries poor little Ruth, her eyes filling, her lips quivering. Then, just as Durm- mond is holding forth a hand, perhaps it is an arm, too, she points np to the rock above where Walsh is evidently exercised about something. He has dropped his gun, picked np the glasses ana is gazing down tho range to the south. "Perhaps ho sees some of our fellows coming for good this time. Four of them tried it awhilo ago, but were prob ably attacked somo miles below here and fell back on tho main body. They'll be along before a great while, and won't it bo glorious if they bring back the safe and all?" He says this by way or keeping nn their spirits, then. onco more wearily, but full of pluck and purpose, he climes tho rugged path and creeps to Walsh s side. "Is it any of our men you see?" he whispers. Divil a wan, sir! It's more of thim infernal Apaches. Drummond takes the gloss and stud ies the dim and distant group with the utmost care. Apaches beyond doubt, a dozen, and coming this way, and these, too, have a couple of horses. Can they have overpowered his men, am bushed 'and, murdered them, then se cured theifmounts ? Is the whole Chir- icahua tribe, re-enforced by a swarm from the Sierra Blanca, concentrating on him now? The silence about him is ominous. Not an Indian has shown him self along the range for half an hour, and now these fellows to the east are close to the copse. In less than 20 min utes there will bo five times his puny force around him. Is there no hope of rescue? Once more he turns to the east, across the shimmering glare of that parched and tawny plain, and strains his eyes in vain effort to catch sight of the longed for column issuing from the op posite valley, but it is hopoless. The hot sun beats down upon his bruised and aching head and sears his bloodshot eyes. He raises his hand in mute ap peal to heaven, and at the instant there is a flash, a sharp report not 80 yards away, an angry spiat as the leaden mis sile strikes the shelving top of his para pet and goes humming across the gorge, a stifled shriek from Ruth looking fear fully up from below, an Irish oath from Walsh as be whirls about to answer the shot, and Drummond can barely repress a little gasp. : "Narrow squeak that, Walsh! That devil has crawled close np on us. Can you see him?" "Begad, sir, I can see nothing at all but rocks, rocks, rocks. How can a man fight anyway ag'irt human beings that crawl like snakes?" Zip ! Another shot close at hand too, and from1 another unseen foe. The first came from somewhere among tho bowl ders down to the southeast, and this second whizzed from across the canyon. A little puff of blue smoke is floating np from among the rocks 60 yards or so to the north of the narrow slit - Crouching lower- Drummond calls across to Costigan, posted as the t astern most of the two mea on the opposite side: - ' That fellow is nearest you, corporal. Can you see nothing of him ? " "Nothing, sir; I was looking that way, too, when he fired. Not even the muzzle of his gun showed. " This is serious business. If one In dian or two can find it so easy to creep aronnd them, end armed only with their muzzle loading guns send frequent shots that reach the besieged "in re verse," what can be hoped when the whole band gathers and every rock on every side shelters a hostile Apache? From the first Drummond has feared that however effective might be these defenses against the open attack of white men, they are ill adapted to pro tect the defenders against the fire of In- bans who can climb like squirrels or erawl or squirm through) any chink or crevice like so many snakes. Another shot 1 Another bullet flattens itself on the roca close to his right shoulder and then drops into the dust by his knee. It comes from farther up the cliff perhaps 200 yards away among those stunted cedars but shud ieringly close. Costigan and the other men glance anxiously over their shoul ders at the point where their young commander and Walsh are crouching. They are not yet subjected to a fire from the rear, these others. The lookout. the signal station, as it might be call ed, is the highest point end most ex posed about the position. "For God s sake, lieutenant cries the corporal'don'tf stay there. They've got yonr range on two sides anyhow. Come out of it Yon and Walsh can slip down as we open fire. We'll just let drive in every direction until yon are safe below.' - -., .; Drummond hesitates. He ROCS & half pleading look in Walsh's honest face. The Irishman would Willingly tackle the whole tribe in open fight, but what he doesn't like is the idea of being pot ted like a caged tiger, never knowing whence came the shot that laid him low. Then the lieutenant peers about him. Yes, it is exposed to fire from a point in the cjiffs to the west, and there are rocks over there to the north that seem to command it, but if aban doned there will be no way of prevent ing a bold advance on .the sart-f the Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla Apaches np the rugged eastward slona. It would then stand between the da- fenders and the assailants, giving to the latter incalculable advantage. Hold it be must for a few minutes at least until, recalling McGuffy, be can set him and one or two others to work nil- ing np a rock barricade in front iA the cave. Then if driven out and nd longer a me to stand the Indians off they can retire into the caves themselves, hide their precious charges in the farthest depths, and then, like Buford at Get tysburg. "fight like the devil" till re cue comes. "No, down with you, Costigan," he answers. "(Jet McGuffy and Frits; block np the front of the cave with rocks; move in those Moreno women; carry Sergoant Wing back to the far ther cave Miss Harvey will show you wnere. ttcana last the rest of you. Don't let an Indian close in on us." "Look, lieut'nant" whispers Walsh; "they're coming np down beyant you were." And peeping through a narrow slit left in his parapet Drummond can just see bobbing among the bowlders far down toward the willow copse two or three Apache crests Apache unmis takably, because of the dirty white tur banlike bandages about the matted black locks. At that distance they ad vance with comparative security. It is when they come closer to the defenders that they will be lost to view. Obedient to his orders, Costigan slips out ox mssneiter and "takes a sneak" for the edge of the cliff. In an instant from half a dozen points above, below. and on both sides, there come the flash and crack of rifles. The dust is kicked np under his nimble foet, but he reaches unharmed tho cleft in which some rude steps have been hacked and goes, half sliding, half scraping, down into the cooler depths below. "Mother of Moses!" he groans, "but we'll never get tho lieut'nant out alive. Shure they're all around him now." Then bounding down the corcre he finds McGuffy kneeling at the point Ihey're coming, Barney," whispers the boy, all eager and tremulous with excitement, and pointing down between the vertical walls. "Look!" he says. Gazing ahead to the next bond, Cos tigan can see Moreno and his Yankee compadre crouching behind their shel ter, their carbines leveled, their atti tude betokening intense excitement and suspense. It is evident the enemy are within view. I'll have ono shot a 'em, bedad. to pay for the dozen their brother blackguards let drive at me," mutters Costigan. "Come on, you; it's but a step. " And, forgetful for the moment of his orders in his eagerness for fight the Irishman runs down the canyon. leaps the swirling brook just as he reaches the point, and obedient to the warning hand held out by their bandit ally drops on his knees at the bend, McGuffy close at his heels. Off go their hats. Those broad brims would catch an Indian eye even in that gloom. "How many are there coining?" he whispers. Moreno puts his finger on his lips, then throws out his hand, four fingers extended. One apiece then, be jabers! Now, Little Mac, you're to take the second from the right their right, I mean and don't yon miss him, or I'll break every bone in yonr skin." "Hist!" Down they go npon their faces, then, Indianliko, they crawl a few feet far ther where there is a little ledge. The canyon widens below; the light is stronger there, and bending double, throwing quick glances at one another, then from sheer force of Indian habit shading their eyes with their brown hands as they peer to tho front ; exchang ing noiseless signals, creeping like cats from rock to rock, leaping without faintest sound of the moccasined foot across the bubbling waters, four swar thy scamps are coming stealthily on. Two others are just appearing around the next bend beyond. f 'Ready, boys? They're near enough now. Cover the two leaders! Drop tho first two anyhow!" Breathless silence, thumping hearts one instant longer, then the chasm bel lows with the loud reports. The four guns are fired almost as one. One half naked wretch leaps high in air and falls, face downward, dead as a nail. Another whirls about, bounds a few yards along the brookside, and then goes splashing into a shallow pool, where he lies writhing. The two farthest down the canyon have slipped back be hind the rocky shoulder. The other two. close at hand, have rolled behind the nearest shelter and thence send harmless bullets whizzing overhead. Costigan lets drive a wild Irish veil of triumnh and delie-ht- continued. ' .---fef The Fair Ophelia. 1 Ibonghl thy bride-bed to have decked, sweet maid.

What is known in Paris as the "bomb brougham" is a weird vehicle which has been seen very frequently of late in the streets of the ..French metropolis. When an infernal machine is discovered, the oomo. orougham la sent lor, and the dan gerous concern gingerly deposited within it. it is then driven on to the last home of the anarchists' abortive explosives. The vebicle has a Hooded seat and a body well detached, from it, hung on a perfect sys tem of springs. In fact, no monarch ever traveled in greater comfort than does the unexploded bomb. He is considered to the utmost degree, and his actual seat in this array of India rubber and delioate springs is such that not the least jolt or agitation can by any possibility upset his uncertain temper. An ambling and an cient horse draws the , bomb brougham, and it ia driven by a hale, middle aged hero, who was once in the artillery.. In transporting this class of fare no little cau tion is necessary. Lonely streets are cho sen for the bomb's journey; the police know that vehicle when they see it and sign to other vehicles to keep out of the way, for a collision with the bomb hrough am might scatter a deal of discomfort for everybody concerned.
