A center table, a Btand, four chairs, a woodbox and water jar made up the furniture. A few yards behind the officer's cabin was his kitchen; but, as the lieutenant was alone, he made no use of it, turning his rations into the company kitchen, from which his servant brought his meals, eking them out with some extras of fho nffipor'c henrfh pXCpOiCU UV vuv v*?*vv? w Life in the valley was full of adventare. Daring the eight months that Raymer remained there he had frequent encounters with the Navajoes, successfully resisting an attempt by a party of 800 to capture the camp and meeting with various minor collisions on the outlying trails. Only two of these affairs have anything to do with the thread of this story. The first occurred in the last week of October. Late in the afternoon of a pleasant day a gentleman, mounted on a pony and accompanied by a Mexican serving man similarly mounted, entered the J ? < 1 camp ana was suuwn uy mo ocigcuiJi/ v.* the guard to the quarters of the lieutenant He introduced himself as the agent of the Navajo tribe of Indians and presented a letter from the department commander which stated that the bearer was on his way to the Indian pueblo of Jemez to prevent; a threatened massacre of a number of Navajo women, children and old men who had sought asylum there and authorized the lieutenant to furnish him with a detachment of soldiers. After dismounting and entering the officer's cabin the agent stated that, the Navajo oountry being overrun by the national forces, many of the principal men of the tribe had 6ent their wives and ohildren to the towns of the Pueblo Indians for safety, and that there were now at Jemez 12 old \tarriors, 18 women and quite a number of children. He further stated that a war party of Navajoes had recently successfully raided the stock of the pueblo of Santo Domingo because the inhabitants had refused to grant asylum to their families, and that the Dominicans had organized a party to go to Jemez andkillthe aged men and the women and children there in revenge. The lieutenant expressing a doubt that the Jemez Indians would permit 6uch an outrage of tho laws of hospitality, especially when they outnumbered the Dominicans by several hundreds, the agent replied that Jemez was in no sense to bo considered friendly to the Navajoes, but that its position near a principal trail to the country of those predatory nomads made it to the advan tage of the pueblo to be ou good terms. The Domiuicaus had sent word to the governor of Jemez that if his people interfered to protect their guests the military authorities would consider them allies of the Navajoes and treat them accordingly. For messenger and other special service requiring 6peed the camp had been furnished with two bronchos. These, with the six wagon mules and the private horse of the lieutenant, made it possible in an emergency to mount nine men. Raymer mentioned this to the agent and urged that the detachment should start at 8 in the morning, which would enable it to cover the 25 miles between the valley and the pueblo by daylight But the gentleman preferred sleeping to night marching and insisted that to leave by sunrise would be sufficiently early. The orders of the commanding general required the lieutenant to conform his movements to the wishes of the agent, so he could do nothing but wait, that pontleman maintaining that the Domin icaus would not leave their pueblo before noou. Before tattoo First Sergeant Cunningham waited upon the officer with the request that he be allowed to accompany the expedition, his duties having hitherto confined him strictly to camp. The request was granted, and at daybreak the next morning the party of 11 and the lieutenant's setter, Victoriana, left the camp. As Victoriana is a principal character in an incident soon to be related, she must be introduced to the reader. When Eaymerwas about to leave Santa Fe for the valleys, his friend Reed gave him a beautiful young setter, which lie named as above, but which for convenience, except in moments of confidence, ho called Vic.

She had received no education, but she possessed plenty of capacity, and much of Rayruer's time during the long evenings and on days when hunting or scouting was spent in training her. She learned to close the door when he simulated a shiver, to bring his slippers when she saw him begin to remove his hnnts. to onrrv notes to the first sergeant, the laundress, the servaut aud the cooks and to go hack to the carup from long distances for articles sent for. She was an unerring setter aud a fine retriever. She was taught not to bark where a sound might bring an enemy upon her friends, and she would follow at the heels of her master's horso when told to do so and never make a break to right or left. The march out of the valley, through a deep forest, down a zigzag descent of 2,000 feet to the banks of a river, along the river to the cultivated lands of the Jemez pueblo need not be described. As the detachment came in sight of the tinned spires of the church in the town a distinct murmur filled the air. The lieutenant ordered a halt and listened. In a moment what had seemed a murmur swelled upon the shuddering air an unmistakable warwhoop. It was very evident that the Dominicans had arrived before the soldiers. Telling Sergeant Cunningham to bring the men up as rapidly as possible, sticking to the road, which made a long curve around the cornfields, the officer, accompanied by the Indian agent, put spurs to his horse and dashed toward the town. Raymer's route was through the cultivated fields, while that of the soldiers was on the hard ground along the base of the foothills. His was in a direct line over deep, soft earth, frequently crossed by irrigating ditches, while theirs, although nearly double the distance, was over firm soil without a break. The lieutenant rode directly toward the church, which he knew overlooked the plaza. Often the two riders plunged down the banks of the ditches, carrying avalanches of soil with them into two or three feet of water to mako a hard scramble up the crumbling wall of the opposite sides, and as they neared the pueblo the louder grew the discordant warwhoops. Being better mounted than the agent, the officer took the lead by a few rods." As he reached the border of the plantation Raymer found between it and the street a cactus hedge about four feet high, with no passago through it, except at a considerable distance to the right. Distrusting his broncho's ability to leap it or hiB own to keep his scat, the agent veered away toward the opening, while the lieutenant gave his thoroughbred his head and rode sharply at the hedge, clearing it at a hound and receiving but a few scratches from the spines as he went through the branching top. Clear of the hedge, the officer found himself at the foot of a narrow lane which passed between two tall buildings and entered the plaza near the center of the western side. He took it at a run, and when half way through saw directly before the inner end, facing to tho north, a group of old, gray haired Navajoes standing alone, with arms folded and holding their blankets firmly about their shoulders and breasts, while in their immediate front were some 100 mounted Pueblos pointed and ornamented in true aboriginal style. On the terraced front of the houses and their flat roofs and along threo sides of the squaro seemed to bo gathered the entire population of tho town, looking passively on. Before Rayrner had more than taken in the scene a rattling discharge of rifles came from the direction of the Dominicans, and tho 12 old warriors fell in a heap to the ground. Covered with dust and mud, his horse reeking with foam, the lieutenant burst through tho crowd of spectators on the west side of tho plaza and gained the open space just as tho firing party was advancing with wild yells to completo the tragedy by scalping the slain. Raising his right hand, ho shouted in Spanish: "Stop where you are I" The Pueblos halted, and at the same moment a group of 18 women and nearly twice as many children, who had boen reserved, as the officer afterward learned, for later execution, ran into the space and clung to his feet, stirrups and the mane and tail of his horse, entreat IE IN ( IANGE IN OUR BUSINESS.

What their eyes said needed no interpreter, but Raymer did not understand a single spoken word. The warcries had ceased, and the Dominicans had gathered in an angry and gesticulating group, when Sergeant Cunningham and the rest of the men appeared on foot, running into the plaza fiorn a side street and formed in line beforo their officer. The massacre ended with the death of the old men. After much earnest and noisy consultation three chiefs of the Pueblo war party separated from the rest and advanced to the group of soldiers. One of their number, using the Spanish language, asked by what right the white chief had interfered to pre vent me puuisnineni? 01 men wcujiw. "By the right tho strong have to protect the weak, for one thing," replied the yonng officer, "and by the right of the great government to protect his children." "But in other fields the great father is punishing these same people for the faults they have committed against us," urged the Pueblo. "True, but in open, manly conflict against men with arms in their hands? not against unarmed and defenseless old men and weak women and children. Go back to youi homes and be ashamed of the deeds of today?deeds that tarnish the fame of your bravo forefathers. Go!" Tho chiefs turned, joined their party, and shortly afterward the whole cavalcade moved silently out of a corner of the square, crestfallen and ashamed. Raymer sought the house of the Catholic priest and became his guest for the night. Early the following morning he held an inspection of the mules. He found the unusual servico and tho forced gait to which they had been put the previous day had so broken them up that they required a days rest Deiore making the return march. His own horse and the broncho which Sergeant Cunningham rode being in fair condition, he decided to leave the men in charge of a corporal, and with the sergeant return at once to the valley. Taking leave of the priest, he went to the house of the governor of the pueblo to pay his respects and make arrangements for the delivery of grain at the camp for the use of the animals. The governor desiring to show the lieutenant through the pueblo, and his courtesy being accepted, over two hours elapsed before he returned to his waiting horse and threw himself into the saddle. As ho did so he asked the governor if there was not a shorter road to camp than the one he had recently passed over. "Oh, yes," replied the chief; "you came by the bow I You can return by ii - 3 It ! me coru. "How much cau I save?" "The cord is s:'x miles shorter than the bow.'' A careful description of the short cut was made by the governor, and a few of tho chief men gathered about, and Raymer, concluding that it would be impossible to stray from the trail, bado the Indiuns goodby and left tho plaza by the northern side, Vic bounding and barking at his horse's head. The general direction of the road was straight and led through a country over which the soldiers in tho valley had not scouted. The first six miles was through laud cultivated by tho Pueblos or used by them as grazing ground for their stock. At tho end of that distance it entered a forest a/.d ran along the side of a small brook for several miles and then rose gradually to the side of a range of hills. As the two ht.-j- emeu turned the spur of a fouthill they suddenly perceived five persons riding a ihort distance in advance, two men and three women. One of the men wore to cassock of a Catho- I lie priest, theothti tho garb of a civilian. Two of the women seemed uy tueir aress to ho of the sisterhood in charge of the convent school at Santa Fe. The third woman was dressed iu a green riding habit. When tho lieutenant and sergeant approached, the party in advance deflected to the right to allow them to pass. As they did so one of the sisters said something to their companion and threw her a shawl and veil, which she used to conceal her face and figure. The priest turned and revealed tho features of Padre Gutierrez, the missionary of the pueblo they had just left. "Ah, Father Gutierrez," said Raymer, "why did you not let me know you intended going to my valley and allow me to be your escort?" "For .two reasons, my gallant son? 3UR E EFORE WE CAN DO THIS WE I IANGE IS GOING T( ur goods more than 3! t the best that money You'll find them lower fc ORMERLY SOLD F S HAVE G0N1 for you, WE HAVE OVER tliem today.

"I did intend taking the other route, but the covernor Dersuadod me to try a shorter one. Aru I already astray?" "You are in the right trail," replied the priest. "My route and yours are the same until we reach La Roca Grande. There we turn off to Pena Blanca." "Are you not inviting attack to travel without escort?" asked the officer. "The Pueblos report no Navajoes in this part of the oouutry. These sisters and their chargo are on their way to Santa Fe and will find a carriage awaiting theru on the river." While this conversation was going on the party was walking the horses along the side of the acclivity before mentioned, at a considerable distance above the eastern sido of the brook, their hoofs making no noise in the soft, black earth, when the lieutenant and his companions were startled by the braying of a donkey somewhere in the valley. All the men sprang quickly from their saddles and seized the horses by their curbs to prevent them from answering their humble relative's greeting, for in such a region it was safest to take no chance of meeting an enemy. The priest and his attendant helped the women to the ground, and the whole party withdrew into a dense clump of firs.
