There coaid be no mistake about It The young man, standing beside the bowlder a few paces away, lighting the his cigarette, was Rundell Weston Apache youth whom had provided with food when be was famishing and paid his passage on the railway to a point near the White Mountain reservation. Having lighted the wisp of tobaoco, took a number of vigorous puffs, the tip of the cigarette sending out a glow that- revealed the point of hisnose and reflected the keen glitter of his eyes, while the rest of his figure was so Ebrouded in gloom that only tho faintest outlines could bo traced by the jwatchful Rundell, The shock of the latter held him mo tionless for the moment, tindocidod what to da He believed that if the ranchman Huntley was in his place be would have brought hit Vinchoster to his sbouldor or whipped out his revolver and dropped the youth where he stood. But, though Our young friend was angered beyond description, he was not ready to do that. He decided upon a more radical conrsa He would cover him with bis revolver, step forward from the darkness and call, him, to If his explanation was unsatisfactory as it was quite oertain to belt would then be time for more drastio measures. Rundell did not hesitate, once his course was determined npon. Pistol in one hand and Winchester in the other, he took several quick strides and was on the point of addressing the dusky youth, when he made the astounding discovery that he was not present. He had vanished like a shadow. Before whisking from sight, he flung the half consumed cigarette to the ground, where Rnndell saw it glowing, while the odor of the burning tobacco lingered in the air. The baffled young man, with his finger upon the trigger of his half raised weapon, peered about him, distrusting the evidence of his own senses. He suspected the fellow had simply stooped down and was therefore likely to get tho drop ou him, but, unwilling to retreat, he took two more steps fqrward, until he paused On the very spot where the young Apache had been standing.' Then ali .doubt disappeared; be was really gone. The explanation was simple: Wc hud heard the noise, slight u way-m- a it was, that disclosed the presence of l some one uear him, and with the canning of his people darted like a flash beyond reach and sight.

And yet the Apache had' hesitated, for it is boyond denial that the moment ha detected the proximity of a white man the power was the Apache's to bring him down with a ahot from his gun or the pistol that, it Is to be presumed, he had, but it was not to be supposed that he refrained through any consideration for his enemy. It was rather a part of his subtle schema that he choso to wait until there cause a change in the situation. Weston Rundell found himself for tho time at his wits' end. Ha did not know whether to advanoe or retreat Just then he would have given much to be able to oommuicate with the ranchman; but since' the Apaches were prowling near, any attempt to reach an understanding with him was certain to expose himself to his enemies He looked in the direction of tho bouse, whose shadow y outlines could be faintly traced against the starlit sky.
