Western Prairies. BY WELDOR J. COBB. CWAITKR X. ma aoooo camp. Tha spot by the river to which the two scouts had come was, indeed, as thoy supposed the general camping1 place of tbe Modoo and Sioux savages. 'Within an hoar after their arrival the banks of the stream were lined with camn-fires and wigwams, and the warpaint of the Indians and the general bustle and activity told that some movement of importance was meditated by the blood-thirsty hordes. It waa destined that Banger Ralph should scon foam all the plans of tha Indians and their renegade white allies, and that he should be pinnged into active contest within a very short time. When he so summarily sprang into the tree where Darrel had been compelled to leave him, he lost sight of his eoatpaaloB amid the excitement of tbe hour. He saw the Indians scour the vicinity, secure the horses, and lead them away; and then all became still in bis immediate neighborhood. "There' a perfect nest of them around here, he mattered, grimly. "It's going to he no easy task to escape. I wonder what has become of young Grey? He isn't any vx familiar with this kind of work. The Indians seem to be startina out on some kind of an expedition, and while rn ta the corral of tbe Ir camps I Intend to find out wbat it is. Banger Belph was a i expert scout, and was thoroughly familiar with frontier tactics of craft and warfare. He descended from tbe tree and began to recoonolter his position. He made out that the main camp of the Indians was directly across and down the stream a little distance. Making sure that he waa unobserve i, the "scout forded and swam the river. landed on the opposite bank and then gradually and stealthily began,approachbair the camp of the Hodoca iJe at last gained a point of espionage meet favorable to his plans, a smail kaoii of bushes and stunted trees enabling an to completely survey the camp and its inmates. anaaow snake's band," he muttered e learnedly, as bis eyes swept tbe scene; -a a in war-paint, too. it means trouDie for tha settlements Ha! It is as I thought! Sespard has came to his old fr.eads. Then the girl Inez must be nere aiso.The scout's face darkened and he frowned ominously as ho recognized, as Darrel had done, the form of Dy ke Despard in the throng about the campfire. Aa he discemad the number or his eneoa'ea realized the hazards of approactng them .any nearer, he reflected deeply. He waa plunged deep In h's medi . tlons, when t le sound of a familiar voice near at hand startled him and enchained his attention. "Despard," ha murmured excitedly; "and Denton to with him. It was indued the outlaw leader and his chief associate. They paused In a eareles stroll from the camp and sat down on a log near the vary spot where the scout was secreted. The tatter thrilled with the keenest satisfaction at this opportunity of overhearing the plans of his enemies. . "Ton wanted to see ma alone?" were Canton's teat, words. Yes." -What about?" "On:- own affairs; we've get among Mead but 1 ain't satisfied. " 'Why not?" "Tm uneasy. The old chief Shadow Snake ta reckless and revengeful; and if he should suspect us " "About the girl?" asked Towner. White Fawn yes." "How can ho?" Bhoukf he meet any of the Nes Psrces reservation Indians he would learn of our treachery. " How? "Tiny would tail him that the airl i never reached them." "That's true." So, whatever we do, we must act lulekly." ?But we agreed to accompany Shadow Saaka oa the . raid on the emigrant train." "No; I gave him the information of its wkereabouta that is all." "But be expects ns to go with him. "We will have to disappoint him, Bare we are safe from pursuit from tbe vigilactea, That is why I came hem." "What do you propose to do?" Ta remove the giri down the valley to-Blght." "Alone?" "No. You and one of the others will tako teraway from hereabout midnight. I will remain with Vance and guide the Modots across the country to the train, and rejoin )ou later." . "Aad tbe rest of our band?" "Aw at Damon's Band. I will send them forward to meet you. Go to the old rendezvous and wait for me. You sea, ens. Snake agrees to divide liberally for my share Is the present venture Once I get that, I will leavo the camp, for he will sooth find out about White Fawn." "Aid then?" queried Dantou. "We will carry out our plan to And the hermit who baa Inez Tracey's fortune, teeare It, aad, leaving the boys to their own plana, go East and enjoy wt wea'th." The old sont looked grim as he overheard the p ans of tha conspirators. Ha knew now how to act, if he could evade the savages and follow on the trail of Despard's men. The two men left the spot and returned to the camp, and Banger Ralph began todetermine how he would m.te a detour and reach a point down the valley where he might intercept Despard's men, who would leave for the bandit rendezvous that night Ha began to cautiously work his icay back to the river, believing escape by that avenue more easy than by the land: He crept from thicket to thicket ind from covert to covert, gradually ueating tbe stream, and meeting with non of his enemies. At hut he came to a point wher he paused in dismay. Since he had last been there a eampflre had been buili. by a litt'e coterie of savages, directly in his course to the river. It cut off all safe escape in that direction, and nothing but a bold dash across an open space, or a slow and perilous retreat by tba way he had come w.a!d avail 'him. He resolved on the former course, even noping that by a sudden run across the place he might gain the river un perceived. With a spring he broke from the thicket and- started across the open apace. A series of kind, alarmed yells from tha Are told thbt he waa discovered. Within ten feet of a thicket where the horses of the Mddocs were grazing, Ranger Balph's foot caught in a trailing rspa He fan heavily. The next moment a score of dtaky warriors were upon him, Baager Ralph was a prisoner in the hands of his most mere! ess enemies. chai-tkm xl THB aSCAFS. Baager Balph made a desperate reiataace against his savage captors, but struggled vainly in their iron grasp as they bore htm towards their camp Are with yells of triumph. The demonstration soon drew a lurge throng to the spot, and the scout, socarely bound, was tied against a (reo, the ayaooura of many murderous nyea aad the object of the jeer and losolt of a iictocua

(sSSlirP Woe chieftain, gnatse, e:ipruiw mo apoc him were his renegade allies. Dyke Oeapard and Jim Danton. The outlaw leader starts 1, asd then stared lu mute wonderment at the man he had endeavored to kill at Ten Spat two nights previous. "Ranger Kalph!" ejasulated Danton, with a savage scowl. "He bears a charmed life." The eyes of 'the Mode chief kindled with satisfied hate as he recogn.zed nn enemy who had more than once crossed his trail to his serious disadvantage. "The Ranger is a spy," he hissed "What brings him here?" The scout was si.eut. "Yes; he has been trying to incite the pale faces to atvaok llio tribes," said Danton. . "Ho is a dan rorous enemy. " "Lot him die before we leave here at another sun," ordered the Snake brlo jy to the Indiana about him. The old scout did not speak. Into his mind came a memory of what he hid overheard Dospard and Danton ssy about tbe daughter of the old chief. He resolved to bring this intelligence to the knowledge of Shadow Snake, but the opportunity was not yet presented. He formed a plan to see the chief alone, when Despard and Danton woe Id not be near to deny his statements or silence him. For over an hour ho remained secured to the tree watching the savages, who paid no further attention to him for the present. In some way they had secured a keg of liquor, and were intently engaged in disposing of it as rapid y as possible. The old scout knew from experience that as soon as the lncians were light lng drunk they would pay attention to him. He recalled his many battles, with the tribe, and know that tliey were full of animosity and hatred toward him. To his surprise, uiwever, when they had finished the liquor the majority of them staggered from the camp, entirely ignoring his presence. Only a few s coping inebriates now gnivrded the prisoner. The scout endeavored to free himse'f, but was not able to break the bonds tint secured him. In a few minutes the Indians returned with a second keg of whisky, from the direction of the main camp. They were all. or nearly all of them, very much intorci ated, and straggling along with them were several other savages from a different camp. One of these attracted tbn ranger's attention by h.s helpless and reeling ondltion. As the savages p aced the keg on the ground and began to drink from it, this ludiau stretched himself out on the green sward as if to sleep. His hand almost touched the form of the captive scout, and the latter loo kid somewhat startled as ho observed that, unpercelveo by his companions he had drawn a knife which he held half concealed in bis hand. Tbe Indian- appeared to be drawing nearer and nearer to the scout, and finally stealthily drew tto keen blade of the knife over the withes which secured Ranger Ralph to the tree. The next moment the lariat that hold the ranger's form capti ve was also cut Ranger Ralph was relieved of his bands "Don't move yet!" The scout started its his strange friend utterel the words in a low, cautious tone of voice. "Darrel Grey!" he muttered, in amazement "How did you come here?" "Never mind now, bu; act quickly. These Indians are so arunlt they will not notion you. Mako no suspicious move while I talk with you, and warn me If any of them seem to notice us or come this way." Darrel lay with bis back turned to the Indians, who were perhaps ten feet distant The old scout kept his eyo upon them and listened intently as Darrel resumed the conversation in cautious tones. "There is one way to s ape safely," he said.' "You must follow that" "Wh-ire?" "To the east Once t.cross the rivar, strike to the north and you are safe from ambush, for the savages are intending to move south and are cumjied in that direction." "How did yon como here this disguise were you not afraid?. "I risked it, and luck has favored in " "You cannot long continue it," remarked the scout Why not?" "You cannot speak a word of the Modoc language." "That is why I pretended to be intoxicated." "You cannot keep np that pretense all night " "I don't expect to." "What then?" . "To find the girl and escape with her. " "To-night?" "Yes." Ranger Ralph looked ser'oua The Inexperience of Ms young friend, he feared, would lead :iim Into trouble. So far, however, Darrel hal outrivaled himself in his tactics of dealing with j the Indians. "I have marked but a course of action," said Darrel, confidently, "and I expect to carry it ont successfully. You know wbat tbo e red fiends meditate?" Tiie attack on the emigrant train? "Yes. From what I havo beard, they Intend moving at once. The train should be warned. Yoa can do that " "How? I cannot reach them in time?" "Yon can with a horsa In a few minutes I will stagger to the corral and have a horse ready for you. Then you must ride as fast as possible to the trail and give the warning of tbe proposed attack. " "I fear that I leave you In danger. " "No. I am safe for the present, ard I believe I shall succeed in rescuing Inez," replied Darrel. . The young scout arose to his feet nd reeled toward the thicket where the horses were kept, a mi auto later. The savages gathered around tho camp fire were too much occupied in drinking to notice his absence. Ranger Ralph waltid for some time, and then allowed tbe cut ropes to fall to the ground. Then he sto'e quiet'y to the thicket. "Quick! Here lb tr.fi horse and there is a rlHe and small arm 3 strapped to the saddle " "Then it's one of Despard's horses'1" "Probably. Lose no time. Cross tho stream and keep to the north of the camp." The old scout sprang into the saddle and a minute later thu horse was crossing the river. No one seemed to have noticed his escape, and he made a wide detour of tho camp and then directed the s';eed toward the distant emigrant trailHe chose a lonely road, evading what ho believed would be the course pursued by the Modocs. Twice ho nearly rfen into a party of horsemen, and tbo discovery made him very anxious. "It cannot bo possible that the Indians have started 03 the war trail already," he muttered, concernedly. Suddenly, an hour later, the sound of sbooting no me distance head alarmed him. He hastened toward the spot. As he emerged from the woods a sight met his vision that thrilled him to the keenest excitement Hanger Ralph was too late with his warning. The emigrant train bad already oeen attacked by the allied Modocs and Sioux, and the wagons were now the scene of an animated contest. The red demons were pillaging and burning and killing, while tho sh'leks of the unfortunate emigrants echoed on every side. "Too late to warn and save thorn!" ejaculated Ranger Kalph, grimly; "but not too late to help them against their murdered foes." , He directed the horse into the thickest of the conflict as be spoke and, riflt in hand, determined to sell his life dearly in protecting the lives and proiert' of the Imperiled emigrants. It was a brier and sanguinary bi.ttla Tha Modocs and Sioux and their renegade allies were superior In numbers to tha emigrant, wno ware surrounded

driven hanlr. and hntehwretl ihiil iiTlaaVi The brave o.d scout saw' the horse he rode shot down and himself wounded; he dragged his form to a covered wagon, and crept into it for safety and concealmene. Then, as the b.ood oozed from a terrible wound in tbe breast, Ranger Ralph sank into a blank lethargy of insensibility. When he awoke It was broad daylight. Tbe wagon was moving, and be peilred cautiously fortu from a pile of hay in the bottom of tbe vehicle. He was weak and in pain, and almost helpless; but ho made out his situation at a glance Behind the wagon on horseback were half a dozen men, doubtless another portion of Des ard s band. Driving the vehicle was Jim Danlon, and the scout doubted not but that they were proceeding to tbe outlaw rendezvous at Lone Canyon. So far, evidently, bis presence in tha wagon had not been discovered: he know that he was in a position of great pe ril, and that affairs were fast assuming a shape most favorable to the plans of Dyke Despard. (to am coktwotd.) From Cradley Beat i. Recently a deputation of women went from Cradley Heath. In Eng. and a pla e where women are employed at heavy work in forg'ng chains to London, to protest a alnst the passage by Parliament of an act which propoed to p ohibit the usa by women of a heavy forging implement known as tbe "ohver. " They objected to the passage of the bill on the ground that it would deprive them of employment. At Loudon they wore quest'oned at length upon tbe manner of tholr employment-by the Home Secretary an officer whose position in tho Uritish Government is much the sumo as the Secretary of the Inter or ot this country. Between Mr. Matthews, the Secretary, and the chain-woman the following dialogue took p ace: Mr. Matthew.- And what Is the precise nat tre of the employment In which you are enga r Cha.n-woman (breaking Inl I'doun't want my work taken awaay from met Mr. -Matthews blandly Pardon me, that is not quite the point on which I desire Informs ion. If you will please explain to me the nature of theope.aUon In which Chain-woman (firm though flusterel, and determined to get out what she had come a 1 tho way to London to say) It never done mn no harm, sir!

Control Tea-aeir. A proud, irritable, discontented, and quarrelsome person can never be happy. He has thrown a tempestuous s.tmosphere around himself, and must forever move in the region of storm, lie has employed sure means to embitter life, whatever may be bis external circumstances. He has been the architect of his temper, and misery mutt be result of his labor. But a pernon who has formed ha temper and di -position of mind after the right model, who is humble, meek, cheerful, and contented, can commonly find friends when overtaken by the storms of life. It should, therefore, be our early lesson to subject the passions, appetites, and desire j to the control and guidance of reason. The first are the galea to impel ns in the voyage of life, but tha last ought still to sit at the helm and direct our course. The stream, when it slowly descends with a hoarae murmur from the mo intain and ripples through tho plait, adorns aad enriohe the scene; but wht-n it rushes down in a roaring and impetuous torrent, overflowing its banks, it carries devastation and ruin along with it; so, when tbe passinns, appetites, and desires axe kept under due restraint, they are a useful aud felicitating part of our nt nre; but when they are allowed to rage with unbridled fury they commit fearful ravages on the character which they were fitted to adorn and exalt. We must watch over the first movements of the heait, and not indulge with secret complacency in imaginations which we would be ashamed to avow. If we wish the stream of life to be pure, it ought to be our aim to preserve the fountain whence it flows unpointed. "Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life." Evolution al the Knife. "This case full of instruments which we have newly placed on exhibition is designed to show the development of the tool which we call the knife, beginning from the earliest times," said Prof. Mnaon at the National Museum. "First, j'Ott observe, is the f agmeut of flint, whioh the savage 6iJ.it by banking it on top wiih a atone hammer into a number of flties. The smaller ones were used for arrow points and the bigger ones for knifes, their edges being split off so sharp that yon m ight almoit shave with some of them. Next you see the flint inserted into a handle of split wood or bone, and. as further improvements, the fa te.iiuga of this primitive knife in the haudte by the rosin of tiroes and by cord of one sort or another bound around to scours it. The most beautiful knife i t the collection is this exquisitely molded blad e ot greenish jade, belonging to the stone age, handled with a walrus tusk. Yon can hardly find a mora admirably formed weapon among the products of modern cutlery wares. Moat omious of the modern tools here is this sailor's knife, square at the end instead of pointed, to prevent stabbing in a row, or the dangerous falling of the wesipon fi-om aloft, its blade drops out) of the end of the handle when a spring is tounhed. 60 that Jack can hold a rope with one hand and open the knife for service without the need of ten fingers."
