SHE COULDNT TALK AD It not been for the fearless 4 1 devotion of one of those typical old army sergeants, the career of a distinguished cavalryman and Indian fighter might have been ended at the outset and American liters ature might never have been enriched by the stirring romances of the old army days In the West which came from bis pen. For Gen. Charles King, at the age of eighty-seve- n one of the few remaining links today between the present and the past when there was a frontier, owes his life to Sergeant Bernard Taylor of the Fighting Fifth." In 1874, King, then a lieutenant, with a small detachment of the Fifth, was pursuing a band of Apache raiders in the Uogollon mountains of Arizona.Near Sunset pass King, accompanied by Sergeant Taylor, scouting ahead of the detachment. uncovered the ambush which the Indians had laid for the soldiers. The first sign of the presence of the enemy was an arrow which whizzed past his bead and buried Itself deep Into a tree. A moment later he felt a burning sensation as another dart tore through the outer corner of his left eye. Jumping quickly behind a rock. King waited for the enemy to show themselves and as two dusky forms glided Into the open a quick shot from bis carbine brought one of them down. Before be could reload a volley from the other warriors spattered on the rock. A bullet pierced his right arm and bis carbine dropped from bis hand. King sprang to his feet and started to dash down the slope. But a vine tripped him and a head-lonplunge of ten feet left him lying bruised and almost senseless among the rocks. As be fumbled for his revolver, for he was resolved not to let them take him alive, he beard a voice calling Lieutenant I Where are y el" Here, Sergeant," replied the wounded officer, and a second later Taylor was at his side, had lifted him In his arms and started down the slope When King fell, the Apaches lost his trail for a few moments but they caught sight of him again as Taylor reached him. Now began a thrilling race for Ufa with the savages gaining on the sergeant with hts heavy load. Every few yards be stopped to send a shot from hln carbine to delay his pursuers. - Taylor was tiring fast and King begged the sergeant to drop him and save his own Ufa. But the sergeant knewd what that would mean for the young lieutenant He staggered on and Just as he was sout to collapse bo board the welcome sound of the other soldiers crashing through the bushes. They were saved. g 1 know you wife balled you out last night No, sir, you're wrong this time. Shes got a bad cold and cant speak above a whisper.
