Up t?ie Ravine. . New York San. About 1 o'clock in the morning the settler who?e cabin was on the Little Colorado River, under the shadow of the Mogoll?n Moun tains, aroused me from sleep and gave me the news that the ApacheB had crossed the stream both above -and below and were advancing on the house. He and his son, the latter a boy of sixteen, had been out scouting. My left arm was in a sling from a recent wound, but I had ridden thirty miles the day before to warn him and others that the band of redskins were making for Mexico by that route, burning and killing whenever op portunity offered. . There were the settler and his wife, the boy above mentioned, a girl of ten, another of eight, and a boy of five or six. In addition there was a little boy four years old, "whose parents had been killed | by the Indians about a month be fore. It was decided that we should ?.et into the ravine in the rear of the house at once. The man and wife and youngest child went first. His boy and the two girls followed, while I, having charge of the little orphan, brought up th? rear. All the children were. awakened, and there was fear that the two lit!le I boys would betray us by crying1, out. Before starting I whispered to Tommy : "The Indians are coming, boi if | you keep still we shall get away all right. You will ride on my . back. We. are going among the brush and trees where it is very dark. If I fall down or the limbs switch your face you must not cry out." "No, me no ky out?" -he whis pered, asM bent down for him to climb on my back. I heard the clatter of the ponies j on the hard road as I left the back door, and I was only fairly con cealed when the Indians began ] yelling and battering at the door. ; The others had such a start that I could not overtake them. And, too, they turned into the first ravine on the right, while I kept straight on. A dozen times I . almost fell headlong, and a dozen times the boy was brushed almost off my back. I felt ?hat he was crying, but very quietly: Perhaps he feared I suspected him, for as I j . stopped to take breath he drew himself up and whispered in my ear: "Me no ky out and^make Injuns | cornel" . The . redskins did not fire the .,-house^.-as it . would ^ hay-e.. been, a beacon light to their pursuers, but - they smashed everything break?? | . ble, took. what they wanted, and after about half an hour continued on their way. I reached a r>oint a '. 'mile from the house and then sat down on a rock in the deep ravine to pass the rest of the night. I took Tommy on my lap and hug ged bim closely, but no words were exchanged. After awh?e I thought he dropped off to sleep, and I was getting a bit drowsy myself when I suddenly heard a bear coming down the ravine. The click of his claws on the stones was proof that it was a bear, and his heavy step signified that he was a big one. I could not see my hand six inches away, but pretty soon I got the odor of the bear. The ravine was about thirty feet wide, and I was sitting doss to the west wall. Bruin came down sniff ing and growling, and just op-| posite me he stopped, and doubt less had a good, square look at the invaders. I had lost my revolver in my flight, and was perfectly helpless. I simply shut my eyes and waited for the attack. It did not come. The bear sniffed and growled for a while, and then took a sudden panic and started off down the ravine. I was drawing long breaths of relief and feeling glad that the boy in my arms had known nothing of the danger, when he suddenly reached up, drew my head down, and whisper ed in my ear : "He wen t 'woof 1 ' 'woof I ' -woof?' but I no ky out and bring Injuns PROMPT RELIEF For biliousness, diarrhoea, nausea, and dizziness, take Ayer s Pills the best family'medicine, purely vegetable, Every Dose Effective The Lost Boy.

PATENTS, For Inventions Procured by the PRESS CLAIM COMPANY, Equal with the interest of thoBe having claims against the Gov ernment is that of INVENTORS, who often lose the benefit ef valua ble inventions because of the incompetency or inattention of the at torneys employed to obtain their patents. Too much care cannot be exercised in employing competent and reliable solicitors to procure patents, for the value of a patent depends greatly, if not entirely, upon the care and skill of the attorney. With the view of protecting inventors from worthless or careless attorneys, and of seeing that inventions are well protected by valid patents, THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY has retained counsel expert in patent practice, and is therefore prepared to Obtain Patents, Conduct Interferences, Make Special Examinations, Prosecute Rejected CaseB, Register Trade-Marks and Copyrights, Render Opinions as to Scope and Validity of Patents, Prosecute and Defend Infringement Suits, etc. If you have an invention on hand, send THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY a sketch or photograph thereof, together with a brief de scription of the important features, and you will at once be advised as to the best course to pursue. Models are not necessary unless the invention is of a complicated nature. If others are infring ing on your rights, or if you are charged with infringement by others, Bubmit the matter to us for a reliable OPINION before acting on the matter.

The Winner Has a Clear Gift of a Small Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents that may Bring: Them In Still more. Would you like to make twenty-five hundred dollars? If you would, read carefully what follows and you may see a way to do it The Press Clams Company devotes much attention to patents. It bas handled thousands of applications for inventions, but it would like to handle thousands more. There is plenty of inventive talent at large in this coun try, needing nothing but encourage ment to produce pratical results. That encdurgement the Press Claims Company proposes to give. NOT SO HARD AS IT SEEM?. A patent strikes most people as an appallingly formidable thing. The idea is that an inventor must be a natural genius, like Edison or Bell ; that he must devote years to delving in complicated mee han cial problems and that he must spend a fortune on delicate experiments before he can get a new device to a paten tabla de gree of perfection. This delusion the company desires to dispel. It desires to get into the head, of the public a clear comprehension of the fact that it is not the great, complex, and expensive inventions that bring the best returns to their authors, but the little, simple, and cheap ones-the things that seem so absurdly trivial that the average citizen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing them to the attention of the Patent.Offlce. Edison says that the profits he has received from the patents on all his marvelous inventions have not been sufficient to pay the cost of his ex periments But the man who conceived the idea of fastening a bit of rubber cord to a childes ball, so that it would come back to the hand when thrown made a fortune out of his scheme. The modern sewing machine is a miracle of ingenuity-the product of the toil of hundreds of busy brains through a hundred and fifty years, but the whole brilliant result rests upon the simple device of putting the eye of the needle at the point instead of at the other end THE LITTLE THINGS THIS MOST VALU ABLE. Z. Comparatively lew people \ regard themselves as Inventors, but ?almost everybody has been struck, at one time or another, with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce some of the little frictions of life. Usually such are ideas dismissed without further thought. "Why don't the railroad company make its car windows so that they can be slid up and down without breaking the passengers' backs?" exclaims the traveler. "If I were running the road I would make them in such a way." /What was the man that made this saucepan thinking of?" grumbles the cook. "He never had to work over a stove, or he would have known how it ; ought to have been fixed." "Han? such a collar button I" growls the man who is late for breakfast "If I were in the business Pd make buttons that wouldn't slip out, or break off, or gouge out the back of my neck." And then the various sufferers for get about their grievancet and begin to think of something else. If they would sit down at the next convenient opportuni.y, put their ideas about car windows, saucepana,and collar buttons into practical shape, and then apply for patents, they might find themselves j as independently wealthy as the man, j who invented the iron umbrella ring or the one who patented the fifteen puzzle. A TEMPTING OFFER.J To induce people to keep truck of their bright ideas and see what there is in them, the Press. Claims Company has resolved to offer a prize. To the person whs submits to it the simplest and most promising inven tion, from a commercial point of view, ? the company will give twenty-five hundred dollars in cash, addition to refunding the fees for securing the patent. It will also [advertise the (invention free of charge. This offer is subject to the following | conditions :' Every competitor must obtain a patent for his invention through the company. He must first apply for a preliminary search, the cost of which will five dollars. Should this search show his invention to be unpatentable he can withdraw without further ex pense. Otherwise he will be expected to complete his application and take out a patent in the regular way. The total expense, including Government I and Bureau fees,will be seventy dollars, j For this, whether he secures the prize or not, the inventor will have a patent that ought to be a valuable property j to him. The prize will be awarded by i jury consisting of three reputable patent attorneys of Washington. In tending competitors should fill out the | following blank, and forward it with ! their application : "--,-, 1892. "I submit the within described in vention in competition for the j Twenty-five hundred Dollar Prize | offered by the Pres? olairas Company. NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION. This is a competition of rather an unusual nature. It is common to offer prizes for the best story, or picture, or architectural plan, all the competitors risking the loss of their labor and the successful one merely ^selling his for the amount of the prize. But the Press I Claims Company's offer is something entirely different. Each person is asked merely to help himself, and the one who helps himself to the best ad vantage is to be rewarded for doing it. The prize is only a stimulus to do something that would be well worth doing without it. The architect whose competitive plan fora club house on a certain corner is not accepted has spent his labor on something of very little use to him. But the person who patents a simple and useful device in the Press Claims Company's competi tion' need not worry if he fail to secure the prhse. He has a substantial result to show for his work-one that will comma nd its value in the market at any time. The plain man who uses any article in his daily work ought to know bet ter how to improve it than the mechanizal expert who studies it only from the theoretical point of view. J Get rid of the idea that an improve ment cnn be too simple to be worth patenting. The simpler the better. The person who best succeeds in combining simplicity and oopularity, will get the Press Claims Compay's twenty-five) hundred dollars. L The responsibility of this company j may be judged from the fact that its stock is neld by about three hundred of the leading newspapers of the j United States.
