A WATER
RESCUE
By LOUISE 5. CUMMINGS
George XIacElroy spent his Bummers
on the Atlantic coast and always own
ed some sort of boat. The first h«
owned was a skiff with a leg-o'-muttou
sail; the second was a dory, rigged in
the same way; the third a twenty foot
single sticker, and when he reached
the age of twenty his father gave him
a yacht, capable of sleeping half a
dozen persons comfortably.
George found it all he coilld do to
run his yacht on his limited Income.
Indeed, he could not have done so at
all had he not been his ow.u captain,
quartermaster, cabin boy and cook for
the greater part of the time Once
while laying up near New York he was
attacked and robbed by river pirates.
He at once provided himself with
arms. Including a couple of small can
non for'ard and a single gun of great
er caliber astern, which he called
Long Tom. Aftpr getting aboard this
armament be felt easier. Unless sur
prised he felt that be could stand off
any ordinary gang. But to avoid lone
liness he took into his service Cyrus
Barker, a boy of fifteen, who was at
home on the water and 111 at ease on
land.
One hot July day, when there was
no wind, George was moving under the
power of his motor engine, making to
ward Portland, Me., from the south.
He had the lighthouses on his port
quarter standing out white in the sun,
but he was rather interested in a
yacht to the westward of him. She
was some seventy tons burden and
very trim. No one but a rich person
could have afforded to run her. While
MacElroy was looking at her the flag
flying from her stern was lowered and
raised again, union down, which "is a
signal of distress. It remained flying
for about a minute, when it was hauled
down and replaced as it had been be
fore.
lieorge was puzzieu. mi- juvuv » na
moving along at a steady rate of about
eight knot* and did not seen-. In any
way crippled. There was no livelihood
of illness aboard or want of supplies,
for Portland was within an hour's sail.
The signal seemed to be for the Hope
—George's yacht—for he was much
nearer than any other vessel to the
boat that had signaled. Something
must be wrong aboard of her.
George pointed the Hope to Incline
toward the signaling yacht When the
flag was righted it had been done in a
hurry, as though some one was offend
ed that it hail been put up union down.
Ferhaps persons were aboard who
needed assistance. If so It behooved
the skipper of the Hope to keep a
sharp lookout and be on his guard at
tlie same time.
In the course of an hour the Hope
was sailing directly astern of the yacht
and about a mile distant. Cy Barker
was on the forecastle and sang out
that there was a woman's snnshade
floating on the water ahead. George
put the Hope on a line with it, and on
reaching it Cy picked it up. It had
been used to buoy a bottle containing
a note written in a woman's hand:
Help! I am kidnaped by my guardian,
who is taking ma to on Insane asylum.
EMMA BORLAND.
"Here's nn adventure and no mis
take," said George to Cy. "I've count
ed three men on the yacht, and we
don't know how many more there
are, but we've got guns and ammuni
tion enough to sink her, and we must
"^ffect a rescue. She's evidently not
gUjpK into Portland; she'll probably
l9$e herself among the islands to the
eastward—that Is, if she's trying to
throw any one off the track. We must
catch her before dark or lose her. Get
up the ammunition for the two fore
ward barkers and load them."
George put on all his power and
gained rapidly on the yacht, whose
name—the Swallow—now appeared on
her stern. She did not seem to fear
the Hope till George sent a shot after
her, which he aimed to go a cable's
length to the starboard, and then so
grqjtt was the surprise of her crew
that they didn't seem to know what
to do. But presently another shot,
still nearer, caused them to shut off
their power. George when he came
within hailing distance did the same.
"What do you want?" was called
from the Swallow.
"The person of Emma Borland.",.
"On what authority?"
"On the authority of myself. Send
her to mo in a boat or I'll rake you
fore and aft. I've three big guns
aboard."
There was evidently n prolonged con
sultation on tiif Swallow. What was
said, whatever their reasons for as
senting to his demand, George did not
know, but presently a boat put out
and was pulled for the Hope. George
and Cy kv.-pt i(^ covered with rifles.
When It came alongside there sat a
very pretty girl and her maid. George
helped them aboard, the boat pulled
back to the Swallow, and she sailed
away.
Miss Borland had got one of the
crew, who was at the wheel, on her
side, and he permitted her to hoist a
distress signal.
George took the women to Portland
and engaged n lawyer for Miss Bor
land, who had. no difficulty in estab
lishing her sanity. Her guardian left
for parts unknown and has not been
since heard from.
George now runs a much finer yacht
than the Hope, but it required the
fortune of Emma Borland to buy and
run it. She gave it to him with her
self for the inestimahle service he
had done her.
THE YAQUIS'
REVENGE
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 11X4, by Associated Lit
erary Press.
Every American of us at the silver
mines had turned out with the Mex
ican soldier}' to help drive the Xaquli
back to their hiding place In the moun
tains. It was a case of self preserva
tion with us. When th« Yaqul was on
a raid be made do difference between
the property or ecoip of an American
and a Mexican He owned the land
before Cortes appeared. The process
of weeding him oat la still going on.
And so when the news cam* la that
the Yaquia had taken the warpath and
killed or driven off the men at the Sol
taito mine above us we turned out with
the 300 soldiers sent up to meet the
war parly and drive it back.
For three days we fought the Taquis
before we got them on the retreat It
was not enough, however, that we bad
laved the big mines and 500 almost de
fenseless people. Orders came to the
Lionel to push on after the retreating
Indians and hold them up If possible
md exterminate them. We went with
tbem to see the thing through and be
muse tbey bad need of our rifles
md of our sharpsbooting Once among
the mountains the soldiers could no
longer move In a body. There wss
constant fighting, but the Indians were
continually forced back. By and by
tbey bud reached the women and chil
iron and Uleir stronghold, and the
Mexican colonel rubbed his hands and
laughed and said:
"We have got them penned up at
last, and aot one shall escape. It Is
the best show we have had for half a
rentury to e*termlnate them."
The stronghold of the Indians was a
series of rifts aud caves In the face of
the Mountain. There was but one
path leading to It That wound over a
number of ridges aiid then dipped
down Into a basin wblph bad a circum
ference of about half tf mile. The colo
nel's plan was to advance the whole
force Into this basin when night fell,
jnd. taking cover behind the bowlders

should be ready at daylight to begin
the work of extermination. While a
portion of the troopers kept np a Ore to
prevent the Yaquls from leaving their
caves another portion would collect
fuel and smoke them to death. We
were not averse to dealing the Indiana
a bard blow and odc to be remember
ed, but we did not go la for the ex
termination of a thousand souls at
snce, more than half of whom were
women and children.
"Gentlemen, you aro not under my
comcjand," said the colonel as he rub
bed his hands and smiled, "and you
will therefore decide for yourselves.
When darkness comes my command
will march down Into the basin. For
fifteen years I have been hunting the
yaquis. For fifteen years 1 have been
hoping for Just this chance."
They could not charge us with cow
ardice, but when our decision not to
support them in a massacre was made
known there ware smiles and expres
sions of contempt

us and west marching In single file
down Into the basin. I do not believe
the first man had yet descended into
the basin when we suddenly caught
sight of a signal fire to the right
The Yaqula were not to be surprised.
During the next hour the whole side of
the mountain showed signals at lnter
rals, and then there was an interval
?t three hours, during which not a light
was to be sew. At midnight from the
center of the mountain a signal fire
suddenly blazed,out It did. not last
more than a minute and was follow
ed by a noise none of us could make
out It was like the roaring of a gale
In a narrow gorge of the mountains,
and we had been listening to It for per
haps ten minutes when from the dark
basin beneath us arose such a cry as
few men ever heard.
"In the name of God, what can it
be?" asked each man of his comrade,
but no one could answer. Down there
In the midnight blackness some terri
ble tragedy was. being enacted, but we
must wait for daylight to solve it The
roaring, rushing sound-came to tis aft
er the scream died away, but more
softly than at first From that hour
till dawn came there was no signaling,
no noise, nothing to prove that there
was life in the mountains beyond our
little band. The peaks ef the moun
tains stood out first Then we follow
ed the dbwn down till our eyes rested
on the eaves. In /root of them were
hundreds of people, but they were
standing quiet and peering down into
the basin. In another minute daylight
had crept down there, and we looked
and cried aloud In horror. The bottom
of the basin, as We saw it the evening
ing before, had been covered with
scrubs and grass. It was a basin still,
but the bottom was hidden under ten,
twenty, thirty feet of water. There
was no outlet and we could see the
waters rushing and swirling round
and round as If to find one. And
borne on the rush were the bodies of
the dead—of the 231 men who had left
us a few hours before. Not one had
escaped. High up on their side of the
mountain the Yaquir. Lad dammed a
spring or rivulet and stored up the wa
ters for just such an emergency. 'At
midnight they had let the flood loose,
and it bad come tearing down at light
ning speed to everwhelm the enemy,
caught like rats in a trap. As we turn
ed away in our horror to make our
way down the mountains the Yaquls
raised their v Dices In ono long about
of exultation snd then were silent
They had reaped their vengeanco and
were satisfied to let us depart In peace
DEN OF BLACK POXES
Andy Conrad, th« Nelckigia pros
pocotr, <a one maa in that district
who feels that his summer has not
been wasted even if he has been
unsuccessful m his search for gold.
While prospecting in th9 Taikeetna
mountains a few weeks ago he had
the good fortune to come across
the den of a family of black foxes.
The animals showed no fear and
Conrad was able to get close enough
to see that their fur was not in
prime condition, as it showei a
browaish tinge. He was fortunate
in locating their den and has made
preparations to take them alive and
should realize a good price from
some of the fox breeders. He will
spend the winter trapping in the
