broken camp at a mountain spring be-
side the trail. They were several hun-
dred yards in advance when they were
discovered, and were just riding out of
the depression which gave rise to the
spring.
On account of his long experience in
, be an hour or more before the Indians
I would overtake the little party.
i As soon as it grew dark enough to
cover their retreat, Mack and his com-
' panions started. They crossed the trail,
■ and rode until midnight on the other
i side. Then they crossed back again,
■ rode two miles out to the left and
: camped until daylight.
Rising again, they took the trail di-
' rect, and rode at as rapid a pace as their
animals could be expected to sustain.
Mack thought they had gained a lead
during the night which would make it
impossible for the Indians to come up
with them; but at about 10 o’clock they
discovered a signal fire upon a hill not
more than a mile off at the left and
somewhat in advance of them.
The building of this fire was proof
that the party ahead were scouts, and
that the main body of the Indians was
behind. Mack kept his men to the trail,
and they urged their animals forward.
All that day they rode, but the In-
dians who were signaling kept steadily
in advance of them. During the day
they counted no less than seventeen fires,
all built at a great distance from the
trail; but during all the time not an
Arapaho was seen.
That night, when their horses and
mules were almost exhausted, the white
men made out the dim forms of two
mountains a few miles in advance.
Mack knew that these marked the pas-
sage of the trail out upon the open
plains, within a three or four hours’ ride
of Fort Collins. Hidden in the mouth
of a canyon they escaped observation.
They rested and fed their horses, took
food and before daylight were again in
the saddle.
“If we have any trouble it will come
in the pass between the mountains.”
Mack told his comrades. “If we don’t
run against a party of ’em there, we’re
out of the woods. If we do, it’ll take a
good bunch of ’em to clean us out, for
there’s no cover—only open ground.”
As they rode into the pass they saw
five Indians in the distance, seated upon
their horses near the trail. These were
undoubtedly the scouts, who, riding the
swiftest ponies in their band, had kept
ahead and were now stationed in the
pass hoping to hold the white men in
check until others of their party came
up.
“Nothin to do but brush ’em one side,
boys,” said Mack.
Tightening their girths and looking to
their weapons, the little party charged
forward at a stiff gallop.
The Indians slipped off their horses
and made a show of standing their
ground; but as the white men pressed
straight on and came nearly within rifle
shot they lost their courage and fled.
Five hours later Mack and the Ten-
nesseeans were in Fort Collins, where a
strong detachment of regular troops
was stationed.
The Tennesseeans looked queerly at
Mack as they rode up to the fort. They
seemed to be satisfied with his look, and
said nothing. Nor did Mack say any-
thing to the officers at the post concern-
ing his companions’ rebellious inten-
tions.—Frank Welles Calkins in Youth’s

Building a Coal Fire.
In starting a coal fire use a good sup-
ply of kindling to huat up the coal, sup-
ply a good draft, thereby allowing
plenty of oxygen. The coal should be
in small pieces, thereby giving mors sur-
face for the fire to act on. The bed of
coal should not be very thick, at no time
over three or four inches, else the air in
passing through will be robbed of its
oxygen before reaching the upper sur-
face, and combustion will be imperfect.
When combustion is perfect there will
be a bright flame and no smoke, and the
result will be carbonic acid gas—an in-
tensely hot gas; but when the supply of
oxygen is insufficient or the igniting
temperature has not been reached, the
result will be carbonic oxide gas, which
has but one-fourth the heating value of
carbonic acid gas, besides forming a
thick smoke and soot, which is deposited
on the oven and flue plates, making it
difficult for the heat to penetrate.—

In the town in which I live there is an
old frontiersman whom every one calls
“Squire Mack.” In the early days he
went to California, and had many curi-
ous adventures there which he delights
in recounting.
At the breaking out of the civil war
he was making shingles near some min-
ing' town in the Sierra Nevada. The
news from home filled him with patriot-
ic fire, and with several comrades he
turned his face eastward and travel-
ed as rapidly as possible toward the
“States.”
Arriving at Salt Lake City, he learned
that Indians had been raiding the trail
ahead, firing upon wagon trains and
burning express and stage stations.
This news disheartened his companions,
who resolved to stop at Salt Lake City
until the trouble was over.
Not so with Mack. He was of the sort
of men who are bound to go through
when they have begun a thing. He
pressed on, taking his chances, on the
“Cherokee trail.”
Mack had been a wagonmaster along
this trail, and knew the ground well.
He had heard that the Indians were raid-
ing about Green river, but he knew that
at the crossing of the trail over this
stream he had a good friend in the per-
son of Bat Lavigne, an old French Cana-
dian trader who lived here.
Lavigne had a great deal of influence
among the surrounding tribes of Utes,
Uintahs, Cheyennes and Arapahoes. He
was married to an Arapaho woman, and
was reckoned a member of that tribe.
He must be aware of the movements of
the Indians.
—Mack, riding an excellent cayuse
and leading a good sized pack mule,
pushed boldly on to Green river cross-
ing and brought up at Bat Lavigne’s?
adobe dwelling one evening at sundown.
Lavigne made him welcome heartily.
The trader told him that a big war
party of Arapahoes had “mixed medi-
cine” at Green river two days before,
and had set out from there upon an ex-
pedition to the east. He had been with
them during the powwow, but did no!
know whether they had “excepted white
blood” in mixing their medicine or not.
If they had not, the trail would be ex-
tremely dangerous.
But there were no other Indians to be
feared at present, he said, if one kept
straight upon the old Cherokee trail,
which passed over a line of neutral
ground between the mountain tribes. If
the Arapahoes were again to go plun-
dering and killing whites, as they had
done a few weeks before, they would
keep to this trail to avoid other enemies.
Mack’s strong desire to. get forward
upon the way home got the better of his
prudence, and he again took the trail
eastward.
At about noon on the third day he
came upon the smoldering ruins of an
old freight or way station.
Mack knew very well, from certain
signs which he saw in the neighborhood,
that the building had been fired by In-
dians. If people had been living in it
they had probably been killed or taken
prisoners.
Whither the Indians had gone Mack
could not determine. The ground was
hard and baked, and no tracks of any
sort could be discovered, but the party
could not be far distant.
i Mack picketed his animals among
some sage brush nea’r at hand, and ate
his noon lunch while considering whether
it was best to go back or go ahead. He
had now no doubt that the building had
been burned by the Arapahoes, and that
they had not “excepted white blood” in
making up their protective medicine.
i As he sat in this meditative mood the
traveler, happening to cast his eyes
back upon the trail over which he had
come, saw two horsemen leading pack
animals and riding toward him at a
gallop.
| They proved to be young men who
were on their way home to Tennessee.
They had heard of Mack at Lavigne’s
three days before, and had been trying
to overtake him.
| They, too, were on their way east-
ward to take part in the great struggle
then going forward; but they intended
to join the southern army, while he was
going to join the Union forces.
j “Partner,” said one of the southern-
ers. “let’s stick together and fight to-
gether through this here Indian coun-
try, and after we get home we’ll fight
each other.”
“All right,” said Mack; “it’s agreed.
Northerners is northerners and south-
erners is southerners, but In jins is
pizen.”
So these deadly enemies of the neai
future went on together, comrades in
danger. Every man of the three was
equipped with a stout muzzle loading
rifle and a large Colt’s revolver.
They set out together on the trail and
had advanced but a few miles from the
burned station when they sighted a
squad of mounted Indians, who had just

Walnut or Butternut Pickles.
An appetizing pickle, little known at
the north, but a common dainty on the
tables of good southern housekeepers, is
made of white walnuts, or butternuts, as
they are called in New England. They
are at the right stage for pickling when
still soft enough to be pierced by a needle.
Gather and put immediately into strong
brine.
Leave until convenient to make into
pickle, occasionally heating the brine
and pouring over to keep the walnuts
from molding. Prepare them by rub-
bing each walnut with an old crash towel
until the fuzzy substance with they are
covered has all been removed. They
stain the hands badly. Put in fresh
brine for a few days, after which pre-
pare the vinegar by the following rule:
To one hundred walnuts allow a gallon
of vinegar; boil eight minutes, with a
cupful of sugar, a tablespoonful each of
cloves, allspice, peppercorns and a large
piece of raw ginger, sliced.
Distribute through the walnuts three
sliced onions, then pour over all the
spiced vinegar. If the walnuts are a
little hard, boil in vinegar. In three
days pour off the vinegar, boil it up and
again pour it over the pickles. They are
not really in their prime until they have
been made for three or four months, but
will keep for years, and are the most
delicious of all pickles. If they become
very sharp, add more sugar. They im-
prove with age.—Annie Curd in Good
Housekeeping.

urged their animals forward. They

Before daylight they turned off and

The Indians came on at a reckless pace had been discovered,
until within about a hundred yards,
when Mack, stepping out from behind
his horse, shouted and motioned them
back.
They pulled up suddenly. One of
them slipped from his pony, and hand-
ing the rein and his gun to a comrade
came forward on foot, gorgeous in a col-
ored blanket, a white slouch hat stuck
with ravens’ feathers, and a variety of
brilliant paints daubed upon his face
and breast.
He was a big fellow and walked with
a swinging stride.
“How! howl’’ said he, as he halted a
few paces distant and grinned hideous-
ly through his paints.
“How do you do?” answered Mack.
“What do you want?”
The Indian shook his head in token
that he did not understand English.
“Hablan ustedes Espanol?” (Do you
speak Spanish?) asked the Indian.
Mack, who had picked up a smattering
of Spanish, answered that he did. In
this tongue the Indian asked where they
were going.
Mack answered that they were going
home to the land where the sun rose,
and asked in turn what the chief—for
such the Indian undoubtedly was—
wanted.
The Arapaho told him if the white
men would surrender their horses, mules,
guns and ammunition they might keep
their blankets and go on, and he would
not let his warriors molest them.
For reply Mack indicated, partly in
Spanish and partly by gestures, that the
Indians might have the ammunition
through the muzzles of the guns and
the weapons and animals after their
owners were dead.
At this the Indian grinned, and tried
to turn the matter off as a joke. He then
asked if Mack and his party were going
to camp at Big Medicine springs that
night, and upon being told that they
were, said that his camp was there, and
that he and his braves would keep the
white men company.
But the white men might, he said,
travel in advance, since in this way they
would escape the dust the Indians’horses
would make.
Alack declined this courteous offer, but
told the Indian that he and his compan-
ions would follow. They did not mind
traveling in the dust at all, especially
as there was no dust on the sun baked
plain.
The Arapaho laughed again, “mighty
onpleasant,” as one of the Tennesseeans
put it, and wheeling about strode back
to his men.
After a moment’s conversation with
them he sprang into his saddle, and
with a beckoning motion to the white
men headed his cavalcade back upon
the trail.
Mack’s companions looked at him in-
quiringly.
“We’ve got to follow, boys,” he told
them. “There’s no use bucking agin it.
If we turn tail now we’re goners. Our
only hope is to go on with ’em fearlessly
and camp not far from ’em tonight and
then trust to darkness to get away from
’em.”
Without a moment’s hesitation they
mounted and followed the Arapahoes,
who jogged along at a dog trot.
All that afternoon the three whites
rode close behind the Indians, talking
and laughing with an unconcern which
they did not feel, but which undoubtedly
did much to render the savages more
certain of. outwitting and capturing or
killing the little party at their leisure.
Big Medicine was reached about sun-
down. The chief had spoken truly with
regard to his camp, for there were
twelve or fifteen lodges near the springs
on the lower slope of the hill near the
base of which the water came to the
surface.
As they rode down to the springs the
chief dropped back and asked Mack
where he would camp. Mack told him
they would picket their horses among
the sagebrush on the side of the hill
above the spring. This seemed to satis-
fy the Indian; he turned away and rode
with the others down to their camp.
After watering their animals and
bringing a pailful from the springs the
white men moved up the side hill some
200 yards above and picketed their ani-
mals in a little depression out of sight of
the Indian camp. A sentinel, however,
whom they could see posted upon a rock
upon the opposite bluff, had them in full
view.
“Now, boys,” said Mack to his com-
panions after they had lighted a fire,
“git out your Dutch oven and I’ll git
out mine and my self raisin flow’er, and
while you take the hatchets and cut a
big lot of sagebrush for a bonfire I’ll
mix and bake bread enough to last us
three days.
“Then after that’s done we’ll eat a big
supper and light a big fire, and behind
the blaze of it we’ll crawl to our horses
and get out of these diggin’s. It’ll take
us three days or three nights to reach
Fort Collins, and those fellows ’ll fol-
low us clean through unless we can
dodge them somewhere on the trail.”
In three hours everything was in read-
iness for departure. No Indians had
ventured near them. Evidently the
Indians were trying to throw the white
men off their guard by a show of indif-
ference.
It had grown quite dark. Mack re-
solved to trust in a not unfamiliar ruse.
He first allowed the fire to sink low, and
then gathered a quantity of sagebrush
and wrapped it up in three of their ex-
tra blankets.
These bundles were then placed near
the fire so that they should look at a dis-
tance like the figures of men squatted
before the blaze.
Then Alack and his comrades piled on
brush until the flames leaped high; and
behind this blaze they crept away to the
horses, mounted them, and leading the
repacked mules rode straight up the side
hill until out of range of the firelight.
They then turned and rode several
miles parallel with the trail, guiding
their course by faintly seen stars. By
and by they struck into the trail and
