whom I will not name for fear of
seeming disrespectful to a man de-

iigo in a magazine article that some
soldier in King ' Philip's war might
have invented the flintlock by find-
ing that an Indian flint arrowhead
would make fire if inserted into the
cock of his matchlopk. Now, the
soldier of 1675 was given a match-
lock, not because the military au-
thorities were ignorant of gune
which could make their own fire*
(wheel locks and snaphaunces were
in common use), but because the
matchlock was considered better for
ordinary use. More than this, if he
had thought of it, he would have

the following day we started out oh
horseback With our npyv friends. We
had gone two -or threo miles, and
were resting on the summit of a
hill, enjoying the far famed Mexi-
can scenery, when five men'rushed
out from the brushwood near by iyid
suddenly called “Halt!”
. Our two companions, seeing the
danger and being in the!advance,
spurred tlieir horses and, made a des-
perate rush down the hill. A shower
of arrows followed them, but owing
to tho Swiftness of their steeds they
escaped safely from the bandits.
The latter then crowded a(boiit us,
and in ono voice ordered us to give
up the contents of opr pockets: Be
ing without arms, we made no re-,
sistance whatever, and, the robbers
were soon searching through our
pockets for booty. Fortunately, oilr
lives Were not in peril, though • our
molesters occasionally handled us
pretty roughly. .They spoke frer
quently to us, but my father, being
overcome by nervous exhaustion,
made no reply. At last, When an at-
tempt was made to remove a locket
from his neck, he looked implorifag-
ly at the robbef and said,, “Take all
but this, friend; if’s a picture of my
dead wife.” The robber scanned
tho delicate features in the picture
and hesitated, but feeling the eyes
of his companions centered upon
him ho cut tho chain quickly and
took possession of the jeweled lock-
et. Was it imagination that made
my father think that the robber
•softly pressed his hand on leaving
him?- After taking possession of
everything valuable about our Pier-
sons, tie chief of the bandits blew
a shrill whisttb and in an instant
his followers were lost iq the for-

We succeeded in finding the rdad to

half a mile when we met a rescuing
