TO THE RESCUE.
On the morning of July 3, 1873, I.
y?&s sitting in the shade of our adobe
ranch building on the bank of the South
Platte, "when I noticed a man stagger
ing along the dusty trail to the north of
the horse corral.
"Some drunken pilgrim' from Jules
burg," I thought, for although Jules
burg was nearly 100 miles distant I
knew that more than one tramp had
there bought enough "tanglefoot" to
keep him drunk until he either reached
Denver or lost his scalp on the way.
I regarded the man lazily until he
came so near that his head and features
began to take definite shape. Then I
saw with alarm that Ms hatless head
was literally the color of blood and that
his shirt front was marked with dark
streaks. I got up and hurried to meet
him. To my horror, upon a near ap
proach I discovered that he had not
,
oniy oeen wounaea m tne neaa, duc naa
been actually scalped.
Twill not attempt to describe his
frightful condition. Yet he had full
control of his faculties and began rapid
ly telling his sad story as I put my arm
about him to steady his walk.
He had been traveling toward Denver
from the east, driving a light wagon
which contained only himself, his wife
and. a few household articles and pro
Tisions. They bad camped on the river
about two miles below our ranch the
night before. About daylight, just as
they were getting breakfast, they had
been pounced upon by a party of mount
ed Indians, who rode out from the
mouth of a gulch close at hand and
opened fire upon them.
"I was frying a pan of bacon," said
the man his name was William Eosa
moud "when suddenly I heard them
yelling. I looked up and just got a
glimpse of them a dozen or 15, I
should say when they began firing,
and I felt what might have been a
stroke on my head$ and no mora When
I woke up, I was the way you see ma
The wreck of my wagon was there, but
my wife and horses were gone. And so I
staggered away, and here I am, and
whether I ought to thank God I didn't
see my wife lying there dead is more
than I know. I suppose they've carried
her away a prisoner. ' '
At the Eight of the poor man there
was in me a fury of desire, to pnuish the
fiends who had so mutilated him, and
when he begged me to go at once to the
nearest post for help to rescue his wife
I said: "There's no need. As there were
only 12 or 15 we'll try it ourselves."
g-' "Bouse, rouse!" I shouted to my men
fn the hut. Fortunately there were in it
five of them asleep.
They roused instantly and were as
surprised, horrified and ficrco as myself
at the dreadful plight of Bosamoud.
While I set about washing and dressing
his wounded licad they bolted some food
and coffee, saddled horses and declared
they would follow the Indians any
where, if only their trail could be struck
and kept
The bullet, I found, had struck JRosa
uiond on the temple near the left eye
and had not penetrated the skull, but
bad passed around under the skin and
come out behind the ear. The scalping;
knife had bored the skull on top in a
circle about lour inches in diameter. I
soon had the wounds dressed and band
aged thep, at bis urgent request, we
left the man to care for himself.
With a two days' ration in our sad
dlebags and an extra pony for each of
us we galloped away in pursuit of the
Indians, and soon found the wreck of
Jhe wagon beside the trail some two
miles from the ranch.
After a thorough search for some dis
tance on every side, we became satisfied
that Mrs. Bosamond had been akcn
captive. Then we took the trail of the
ponies of the Indians and of the two
shod horses they had captured.
As this trail led us across the sandy
valley to the north we judged-tbe party
to be Cheyennes or Sioux, for Arapahoes
or Comanches would most likely have
taken the opposite direction.
Bow Legs, our expert tracker, for
merly a "pony express" rider, rode in
advance at.a jog trot over hard ground
and at a gallop across the frequent sand
tracts, all the time leaning forward,
with his face beside his pony's neck
and his eyes following the prints of the
shoes of the shod horses. And so about
aoon he led us up to the high land
rvhich formed tho divide between the
Platte and t Crow creek. The day was
jlear, hot and fortunately devoid of that
haze or mirago which so often prevails
n that region.
fUow, boss," said Bow Legs, 4get
jnt your glass and take a squint down
icross 'bout 15 or 20 miles ahead, The
(ndiaus have only been riding at a jog,
and they ought to-be in sight.1'
As I was superintendent of a large
round up, I always carried in my saddle
roisters a signal service glass of first
rate power. JNow, after amoinent's
wrutiny, my binocular happened to
tch the savages just as?they were go
jjg over a ridge. X. had. time to count
IG horsemen and a number of led ani
nals before they disappeared,
"Only 16 of 'eni!" said Bow Legs.
Good enough! We'll jnake things-
jrarrn for them.'
He bad, is fact, "stood oSEV 18 alone
one occasion." On another ko had
rhipped nioe Ute$ single handed and
bad chased the four survivors several
pile, k much did his new breeohload:
overmatch their vs and arrows and
inferior guns.

tle used.
At 4 o'clock that affernoprrwe-were
cautiously trailing within a canyon
which led through the breaks or bluffs f
south of Grow creek valley.. After we
had ridden foe sotn two hoars down the
arroyo, which .'deepened and became
quite xouch as we advanced. Bow Lees
pronounced the trail very fresh. At last !
he halted just as he was on the turn of
a sharp corner and motioned for us to
gallop -up.
As we joined Him he gave a wild yell
and clashed the spurs into his horse's
flanks. Following close m his wake, I
had the "valley of Crow creek burst sud
denly upon my view, and I saw that the
Indians had picketed their ponies and
pitched a couple of teepees oii the banks
of the stream, some 300 yards away.
Straight at their camp we charged.
When I first saw them they were
scattering in a dash for their ponies.
We dug spurs into our animals and flew
at them like rockets. Each of us carried
a revolver and a Winchester carbine
with 15 shots in its magazine.
The evident consternation of the In
dians and their rush for their horses
took all notion of fear out of us. We
went straight for them and began firing
before half of them had cut their ponies
loose and mounted them. Those who
first reached their beasts slashed the
picket ropes, mounted bareback and gal
loped down the creek at their best pace.
Some of the others, however, were too
late, and we were fairly upon a half
dozen of them when they had no more
than got to their horses.
It was not a fight, but a rout, for the
Indians thought only of escape, and
nine of them succeeded in getting away.
We did not follow them, for our ponies
were worn with travel, and it seemed
better that Mrs. Bosamond should be
taken to her scalped husband as soon as
possible.
She was unharmed and had been un
bound in one of tho teepees when our
firing began. Now she came hurrying
toward us. I Ehall never forget the poor
woman's wonder when we told her that
her husband was' alive.
"Why, I saw thorn." And she shud
dered and put her hands up a? if to hide
tho horrible memory from her eyes.
"Yes, they did," I said. "But he
will live and be just as well" as ever."
The expression of joy on her facowas
beautiful to see.
Besides recovering Bosaniond's horses
we captured seven ponies, three spring
field carbines, -ono Winchester and five
good saddles.
After a few hours of rest we set out
for the ranch, which we reached about
10 o'clock the next morning. We found
Rosamond in a high fever and danger
ously ill. But, thanks to his wife's
nursing, he finally recovered, and for
two years afterward the couple cooked
for us at the ranch, which always seemed
Jfco me a most prosaic occupation for peo
ple who had come through an adventure
so extraordinary as theirs. Youth's

Heel In Peace and AVr.
The civil war that raged in our land
a third of a century ago operated in a
diametrically opposite manner on the
two sections of the United States known
as the southwestern and the northwest
am states. In tho former, composed
chiefly of the state of Texas, all access
to outside markets was cut oft! to live
.stock. The Union forces patrolled "with
gunboats tho Mississippi river, and no
herds could be taken across to feed the
oiain rebel armies. Cattle could not be
shipped to3nJja for fear of almost cer
tain captnro by war vessels on tho gulf
passages, and they conld not be safely
driven north or west.
So Texas' 3,000,000 cattle multiplied
like vermin in an army camp upon the
ranges of Texas, Avhere they ceased to
have a cash valuo and became only an
article of barter, 75 head being ox
jhauged for a good saddle horse and 100
abed for a two horse wagon. The stores
in the grazing regions exchanged goods
ind wares for them, fixing a ridiculoug.
Iy low Ecale of prices for the live stook,
payable in goods, etc., from tho store.
This state of affairs continued until two
Fears after the war closed.
In the northwest the supply of live
.tock was depleted to feed the Union
irmies, and for two or three years after
e close of tho war remained scarce
ind dear in price, so that thcrmasses of
boring men and factory operatives
iould scarce afford beef upon their ta
lies of tener than once a week, and then
t was of the cheaper cuts of the carcass.

Potatoes and Point,
A curious dish, potatoes and point,
rras said to le only too common among
ihe poverty stricken inhabitants of west
im Ireland, who use, according to one
explanatory legend, to place a salt her
iug in tho center of the table and point
.heir "praties" at it in order to get the
lavor; according to another authority,
;alt, in the days when there was a
leavy dnty upen it, took tho place of
lie salt fish. The dish is mentioned in
.he "Memoirs of Captain Bock," print
id in 1824: "When there is buc a Email
)ortiou of salt left, the potato, instead
if being dipped into it by the guesfg, a
uerely, as a sort of indulgence to. the
ancy, pointed at it." B. Anderson, in
me of his Cumberland ballads, says:

Fishes ia Line.
It is not unusual at the aquarium to
see in a tank the fishes all together side
by side and ''eads in a line, like a pla
toon or section of men. They remain
thus for a considerable time. Mostfishes
are gregarious, they keep together in
schools in the water, and here they
seem to keep together for company's
sake. Sometimes all tho fishes in a tank
bnt one will be lined up in this way

wh;le$he single fish will be back of

HOW MIKE GOT EVEN.
It was a beautiful morning. Not a
eloud in the June sky, not a leaf stir
ring on the old cotton wood tree by tho
spring. Tho cattle, after a restless
night, were lying in close order and
lazily chewing the cud or stretched out
broadside on the thick green carpet.
On the edge of the bunch a few calves
were frisking about with tails up, and
cne impatient youngster, was butting
away at his drowsing mother with a
vigorous suggestion that it was timo to
rise and furnish forth the morning meal.
On an adjacent hill the horse wran
gler, still draped to the heels in the yel
low slicker he had donned in the thun
der shower of the night, sat idly in the
saddle with a hand on his horse's hips,
looking away over the pea green range
of early summer to where the moun
tain tops glowed in the rising sun.
The cook's fire of damp wood, kindled
directly under the tree, sent up a thick
smoke which spread throughout tho
branches, but' collected above them, ex
tending one straight, slender; lofty col
umn into the blue. Some blackbirds
were scolding about being smoked out
of their leafy home, and on every side
resounded tho mellow notes of the mead
ow lark.
It was a beautiful morning, but no
one in camp was happy, for every man's
clothes were wet, aud Mike Tussler had
the toothache. i?ow, it is well known
that when the. big back tooth of a big
buck Irishman takes a notion to ache it
is a wholly different proposition from
an ordinary case of mal de dents.
"You don't know anything about it,"
Mike deolared. "This isn't just tooth
ache. It aches all over. Did you ever
see one of them fiery comets with a
long, forked tail on to a bright head?
Well, this pain is just like that. My j
tooth's the redhot head of the thing, and
the tails are going all through me." j
Miko lay down on his back," and the
cook looked in his mouth.
"Did you ever see a chestnut or acorn
with a wormhole in it? Thatls the way
with your tooth. Just a little bit of a
hole right into it. It's n terrible small
hole to worry about."
"Nothing small about tbe feel of it,"
said Tussler, and he asked for a day off
to go and get. it "yanked."
He could not be spared that day, but
the next morning went away to the
nearest town. It was always a day's
ride, and, as is the preverse way of ach
ing ieeth, his began to feel much better
when he came in Sight of the village.
He felt so much relieved by the time he
had ridden down the one street, with its
square front, one story wooden build
ings, that when he was finally seated in
tho dentist's chair he didn't want to
have the tooth pulled.
"I was just coming along the street,"
he said to the dentist, "and I saw your
brand on the door. So I come in to ask
you to look in my mouth and tell me
bow old I be."
"Old enough to take better care of
your teeth," he announced, after look
ing them over,
"Have T got to have thelacso on that
back one?" asked Tussler.
"You have got to have it filled at
once."
"What'll it cost?" asked the cautious
Irishman.
"Three dollars," said the dentist. "I
use only the best materials and have
but one price."
"Well," said Mike, "it don't hurt
any now. I guess I won't let the job
today." .
"That's robbery," he assured him
self, as he went away to copper the ace
for fivo and lose it. "Tho cook said it
was an awful small hole."
The next morning, however, his tooth
baving meanwhile resumed business, he
was waiting at the door when the den
tist came down,
, " You don't get up so early as we do
on the range by about four hours, " said,
he. "I been standing here all night. I
tvaut me tooth filled full."
So Mike had the work done and paid
60 cents extra for capping the- nerve
'And the whole thing .didn't take, him
m hour," be reported when he returned
to camp. "I've been robbed.-"
. Mike clings to an opinion with proper
tenacity and the conviction that the
3entist had "beat him outof good $2"
laida debt, and a duty upon him which
ae had no idea of shirking.
"What you going to do about it?" the
boys asked.
"Wait," says Tike.
The hard routine work of the spring
roundup went on for Eome.weeks. Again
the boys asked, fWhat are you going to
50 about your dentist?' '
"""Wait;" says Mike again, r
When there is work to be done, a cow
amp is stirring at daybreak. Getting
Mt in the gray dawn one morning, it
ivasseen that a regular tenderfoot outfit
with tents had ooroe In during the night
and pitched their camp near the cow
boys. Mike stToUed over and poked bis"head
into several covered wagous, bringing
back the report that no one; was awake.
"What are. they loaded with?" ft as
tsked.
"fertilizer," said Mike.
"Gome off," they all cried; "not in
those dude wagons!"
"Give you my word," insisted Tuss
ler; "not a thing.in 'em but old bones. '
About this; time Mike became very
solicitous for the safety of his bed roll.
."Handle it like osrsv" heinld, tbn dri
ver of. the mess wagon. 'It's loaded. ' .
When the outfit got aroasd to the
home ranch . and there waa at leagth i
few days' rest for horses .aad urea, Tuss?
ler said: "Boys I'ye got to see joy den
tist again. Come along to town." " "
They came along to the number of
eight, and leaving them -at tke.Caynfe
saloon Mike went over .and had an in
terview with the dentist: ' sf "
" xou remember," he said, "pligging
a tooth for me last spring?'' x
The dentist remembered, .very well.
"Isn't it all right?"
"Sure," said he, "and I'got a1 friend
who likes it so well that he wants me
to let the job of fixing one for him."
"I have but one price for filling,"
said the dentist.
"But this is a big back -tootifjtbat'll
take more metal to fill it tban jsine, "
insisted Mike.
"The size of the cavity has nothing
to do with it. Unless I have to-kill the
nerve the price is absolutely the Eamc."
"I think the nerve is. already dead in
his'n,1' ventured Mike. "When can he
come?" -
"Tell him to come tomorrow after
noon," said the dentist end added face
tiously, "and bring his tooth with
him."
"Yessir," said Mike.
The boys killed time as"best they
might until the appointed hour. Then,
with becoming gravity Tussler lead
ing and the cook second they filed into
the dentist's office. There was scant
room for nine men, but they ranged
themselves against the wall, and Mike
said, with a wave of the hand, "These
are all my friends, but," indicating the
cook, "this is my particular friend
that I spoke to you about "
"And this," said the cook, stepping
forward and depositing on the table a
large parcel, "is my tooth."-
"Open it," said Tussler. '
The dentist did so, revealing to his
astonished gaze a tooth of Brobdingnag
ian size. Its length was not less than
ten inches, of corresponding breadth
and thickness. It bad a cavity equal to
12 cubic inches.
"That's the tooth," said Mike.
"This is one on me, boys," said the
dentist. "Come oyer to the Cayuse."
"Pill tho tcoth first, " suggested Tuss
ler.
"Yes," said all the boys in chorus.
Tha dentist looked at, the tooth. He
looked at tbe nine impassive faces along
the wall. "Why, certainly," Jie said..
It took all the alloy, amalgam, ce
ment, concrete and gntta percha in the
laboratory,, but it was dono to the satis
faction of Mike aud his friends, who as
sured the dentist cf their future patron
age and filed out as solemnly as they
had come.
"How did you rnako the big hole in
it?" asked one.
"The blacksmith did it," replied
Tussler;

Color Photography.
At a recent meeting of the Boyal
Photographic society in Loudon Profess
or Gabriel Lippmau described his sys
tem of color photography, whereby a
photograph showing the colors of nature
is obtained by a direct process and with
one exposure of the plate. The film,
which might be of any sensitive snb
fauce, he explained, was exposed, de
veloped and fixed in the usual way.
Two conditions, however, must be ob
servedthe film must in the first place
be transparent and grain less and in the
second it must be in contact with a me
tallic mirror during exposure. The ef
fect of tha mirror, which was formed
by running a layer of mercury in be
hind the plate, was to reflect back the
incident colored rays and thus make the
incident light waves stationary. These
stationary vibrations, falling in tbe in
terior of the sensitive film,. impressed
their own structure upon it, and by vir
tue of the structuro thus imparted to it
the brown deposit of silver, when viewed
by reflected whi to light, appeared clothed
with the same colors as were possessed
by tho image in the camera. The colors
were produced by "interference" in the
same way as those of the soap bubble
or mother of pearl. That this was their
3ause, M. Lippman said, was proved
oy the fact that the tints of a negative
jhanged if it were damped in conse
quence of the gelatin swelling slightly
ind thus altering the structure of the
ilver deposit. The nolors produced by
ibis process were true and bright pro
dded that exposure and development
had been properly conducted. They
were, moreover, completely fixed and
resisted the action of light and time.
