HI pndleament was not a pleasant 00a, for tba wagon box was Immersed in water and ha was wt through from the dip ta tba stream. fclaally it began to sink so low that he was ooat polled to climb out on the seat, and thence later to toe top ol the wagon cover Itself. Front bore he regarded thu fast-flying landscape si ently and clung to his frail rait as it was driven hither and thither by the rook choked currant There was a final orash, a.nd Ranger Ralph was flang head foremost into the The wagon was splintered to pieces as H hm in contact w ith a huge rook in midstream, and flot.ted away leaving the saoat floundering in the water. Ho managed to reseh the shore, and stood with dripping garments ruefully surveying his situation. Darkness and solitude surrounded him, and there seemed no means of leaving leaving the narrow, ronlined canyon except by the waterway up and down Suddenly a light appeared in the dlsand the scout stood peering at It for some -time, vainly endeavoring to make out Its location and catise. It most be a lantern or camp-fire of the outlaws," ha decided, and he deteraeioedto endeavor to maka his way toward it. la tba darkness and amidst unfaatiiiar scenes Jits was no easy task, and bis progress vas slow and laborious. Clinging to trailing vines and shrubs, sealing rocks, fording and swimming, he managed finally to train a pile of rocks diraetiy bey oid which was the light be had seen. It proved tc be as he bad surmised, a camp-fire, btllt sjniewhat back In a 1 eave-Hke apeiture of the rocks. It was aectsslb .e by a nnrrow, dangerous path from the cliff above, and was evidently ' one of the entrances to the mountain fastness of the bandits. A dozen roagh forms were visible in the glow of the firelight, and among thesa Ranger Ralph readily recognized several vbom he had known to be mem bers o' Ijspjrd's outlaw band. from Lis place of espionage the old eoat could vetch his enemies and dote -mine at leisure the best course to ptrsue. There was .10 fear of Interruption, for wliile he might gain the entrance to the cave it 'was not likely that they would come bis waj. He was so near to the entrance of the cave that he would almost hear the laughter and conversation. Titers was only this ledge cf rock between him and the open space in front of the cave. The scout c reached low as two men ease toward where he was. At first he determined tt retreat, as he feared they were coming ver tho ledge; but as they Earned at the edge of the stream near by e discerned that one of them bore a bucket in his hand, and that they had eo no to obtain some water for the oamp. 'What's tho programme, anyway?" he heard one of 'he men ask; and the other raidled; 'A general breaking up of the band, I hear the boys say." 'And a division of the profits?" "Yes. It's whisnered about that Dospard is tired of toe life, and that it has become too dangerous to suit him. He's af -aid of trouble witb Shudow Snake, and he's got jome scheme for a fortune about the girl he 'has brougb t here. "What trouble could he have with Ssadow Snake?" 'He's afraid the old Modoc chieftain will learn abtut his treachery in regard to the prince s." "White Favn?" ' "Yea; and )anton and he have played the Indians f Use." About whut?" ! The emigrant train. Th jy sto'e most of the plnncer, and tho Snake will re seat this and our desertion. I wouldn't wonder if the Modoc chief sent a mes- : aeoger to demand restitutio 1. Anyway, ; h:'s made enomies of the sitvages by his ; attiona, The men returned to the cave Just i tten, but ti eir conversat on formed a tteme of thoight in the scout's mind for 1 acme time af r their depntture. i The girl is here," uuttered the n.nger, "and JDespard has ome plan for ' leaving the country. I must learn what : his schemes ire. and at once. But bow?": Banger Ralph reflected deeply for over j aii near. -men. as a hold idea flashed upon his mind, he determined on its imsiediato exet ution. He theoriced readily that Despard neditated leaving the country, and that h would pre bably take Inez Tracey with him. The g rl was now donbtless a prisoierin tho outlaw's stronghold. Tho furtnne bet father had left her was tlte object of Despard's plot To rescue the girl and roll the renogido in securing that for tune, the scout flt that be must act quickly. Ranger Riilph was noted along the; fitmtler for :iis shrowdnes, not only as . a scout but i s a detective. It was in the latter capacity that he j had now decided to act. and although his djajgn was a bold one, he believed that hs would be able to successfully carry it into execution. ! Rapidly he formulated his plan. It ; consisted, first, in the assumption of a ' Pirfeet disrutse, and tins hardy old j ntnger, fulJj prepared for lust such con- ! tlngencies at' the present ote. was soon ! at work on s thorough transformation j of his persoi al appearance j With a ke in-edged razor he shaved off bis luxorian '. beard. Then he proceeded ti paint his face and arrange his .,tlre iu accordance with his designs. Whan he had completed his toilet It is doubtful if Lis nearest friend would have recognized t Im Be resembled a half-breed, and his stained skin one eye shaded by a bandage, limping gait and general "uncivilised appear! nee gave him (ust the look he desired, 1o enable biro to penetrate to the eneny s camp with his identity tinsnspeeted When be had fully completed his men-! tal plan of action, the scout cautiously 1 clambered ver the ledgo of roi'ks and ! lade his wi y toward tbe camp fire. Several forms sprang to their feet and Impeded his further progress as he leached thu entrance to the cave. A loan whom be recognized as Vance lalsed a gut menacingly. "Wbatdo you want? Who are you? How CMne yon here?" t.e demanded doJckly. . g In aeaorance with his assumed chariKter, tbaiat ' bit arms over his

. -jed uneasily beyond the sup r...a rte.'mengtr from tho Modoos. "Did Tallula come alone?" ho asked. Yes. " "Sit down by the oarap-firo there; I will speak with tho Crow." Ranger Ralph smiled complacently to himself at tbe succoss of his Imposition

so far, bet assumed a studied attitude of sullen silence until Vanoe had ro turned. "Come," said he latter: "the Crow wishes to talk with you. "Ughl" The soout was led into the cave through several long passages, and finally into an apartment that was appar ently a portion of a wooden hut that was Duiit over the river and into the ana. Despard and Danton sat at a table drinking, and the former glanced at the somber figure of Vance s companion. "H.'re is tho half-breed from the Modoos," explained Vance. "From Shadow Snake?" asked Despard. "Ughl replied the scout in a disguised tone 01 voice. "What does lie want?" "His share of tha plunder taken from the emigrant train. The Crow has played him false, and he seeks restitution or revenge, " Despard evinced a cool unconcern of the scout's somber throats He listened calmly while the disguised ranger in guttural tones told of tho dissatisfaction and anger of the Modoc chieftain. Then he said: "Shadow Snake demands gold''" "Ugh!" "And If it is not sent to him?" "War," was the laconic reply. "When must he have his answer?" "In two suns " "Good. Before another day is past, Tallula shall know my decision. You can stay here until then. " Banger Ralph retired with calm dignity, and congratulated himself upon the fact that he had not been recognized by tne outlaw. "Watch that half-breed closely," said Despard to Vanoe; and the latter followed the scout from tho room. "We have no time to lose, " said Danton, when they were alone. fThat is true." "The Modoc; will march against us unless we return a share of the booty." "Thon we will act at once. I have located the haunt of the old hermit " "Wa'ford?" "Yes; and in the morning I shall go there. Once I secure the secret of Inez Tracey's fortune, I shall leave a small amount of plunder for then to divide, and you and Vance, the girl, and myself will leave this part of the country forever. " Meanwhile Ranger Ralph had been led toward tap river end of the cave oy Vance. He paused ere they reached tbe campfire, "Tallula Is weary," he said. "All right; you can sleep anywhere here " The pretended half-bre?d flung himself upon a broad rock. Vance content ed himself with proceeding to tho srot where his companions wero, and after telling them to see that Tallula did not leave the cave, paid no further attention to the scout The latter had fully decided to explore the bandits' haunt, in the hope of finding Inez. After a while ho left the rocks, and, unperceived by the men around the camp-fire, began examining the various passagos and apartments of tho great underground cavern they occupied. There was one dim corridor down which ke could see a light burning, and he stealthily made his way toward It He drew back in the shadow of a projecting shelf of stone as ho saw, directly ahead of him, In an embrasure in the corridor, a mitn seated on the floor of tho cava His back was to the scout, and he seemed to be lazily nodding as if In sleep. "A guard," muttered the scout, thrilling to quick Interest at his discovery. "There must be some one in the cave beyond, perhaps tho girl hersolf " Ranger Ralph peered cautiously beyond the spot whore tho corridor enlarged. He started as he discovered that a largo apartment terminated tho passageway. Upon a rude log table was a second lantern, and its rays showed a couch covered with a pantherskin. Upon this tho scout made out a familiar form. It was that of the very maiden who teas the theme of all his anxious thoughts He stood spell-bound, yet excited, gazing silently at tho girl, whose head was bent in her hands, as if In grief and despair. Rapidly he began to form a plan for ovading tbe guard in tho corridor and reaching Inez. As he stood there a sudden episode. baH'ed a'l hi ) plans. He saw Inez Ti acoy start to her leet and stare in wild emotion at the opposite side of tho cave. This portion of tho cavern was at that moment completely shut out from Ranger Ralph's range of vision. Vaguely ho heard a voice speak her name. Ho saw tho girl s face express the deepest joy and relief. At that moment the attention of the guard seemed directed to tbe apartment, lie arose stezed a revolver fro. 11 his foot, and began 'to creep towards tho cave Intensely interested and yot perplexed Ranger Ralph stood watching tho scene of what promised to he a most exciting and momentous episode. CMAPTBK XVK. Whoever it wa9 that had apparently entered the cevo apartment whero Inez Tracey was, that person did not evidently see or know of the near proximity of the bandit enard. Even the imprisoned maiden seamed unaware of his presence, for her bountiful face, fully revealed to tho sane of the scout in the ii?ht of the lantern, glowed only with emotions of gladness. Tho guard, adopting a stealthy, crouching movement, began to step gradually toward the apartment. . Hanger Ralph's attention was divided between him and Inez. lie saw that the outlaw was too thoroughly engrossed in watching the inmates of the apartment to pay any attention to him. Cautiously, theroforo, the scout began to steal after him. A few steps enabled him to gain a complete view of the interior of tho cavo He came to a dead stop with sheer surprise as ho saw tho cause of the girl's emot'on. "Darrel Greyl" be muttered under his breath. , It was indeed the young scout As the reader will remember, after he left White Fawn he had penetrated to the cave of the outlaws from the inclosed valley Into which be had fallen. When Despard fand removed Inoz to the cave, Darrel had reached a spot whero a huge rock blocked up the entrance to the a: artment For over an hour be sought to push this barrier away and at lust he had succeeded. It was his entrance that had so startled tbe captive maiden. "Inez!" he cried, and sprang toward her with outstretched arms In the first impulse and rapture of love and ;oy lite had glided to greet . . , . ... it...i. ... i , 1 mm.

... . ......... . ,'otu.e tn tho wall, who'n tho guard ratsod bla revolver, Ranger Ralph had taken In the sceno at a glanco, and I'esolvad to aot quickly, fts he discerned the peril of his young friend Darrel Grey, With a rapid spring he was fairly upon the guard. Too late, however, to prevent the shot the latter had directed at Darrel. Tho bullet sped wide of its mark. The report of tho pistol, however, awoke all the Bllont eohoes of the cave. With one blow tho old scout felled the guard insensible to the floor of the cave. Then, springing over his prostrate form, he seized the revolver that had fallen from his grasp. Darrel Grey recognized him with a Joyful cry. "Ranger Ralph!" he ejaculated. Inez glanced with quick interest at the man she knew to be her father's oldtime friend and her own. The scout glancdd back at the corridor with an alarmed face, as he heard a new commotion. Twj men had come sud

denly into view. Ranger Ralph divined in a Dash that they had been coinpan ions of the guard. Doubtless they had been sleeping In the embrasure in the corridor, and he bad not noticed them. Tbe shot had aroused them, and as they entered tho apartment they comprehended the situation at a glance. "Fly!" ordered the scout to Darrel and xnez. "But the out'aws will be aroused " "I will hold these two at bay, and cover your escape. " TO Mil COMZKDED.l Earnins;s of Railroads. The advance sheets of the introduction to Poor 3 Manual for 1891 show that tbe number of miles of railroad completed in tlw United States at the end of the last calendar year was 166,011, and that tun number of miles eonstruoted durins: the year was 5,730. Since then enough track bos been laid to make the total mileage to this date 170,000 miles. The inorease in share capital during the year was $1-15,140, 260, which was equal to a little more than $'25,300 for each mile of road, constructed during the year. The in. crease in the funded debt of the roads during tha year was $'277, 6:10,254, which was equal to not much less than 50.000 per mil a of road constructed. It will, however, be understood, of course, that the increase in funded debt did not neoessarily, or probably. all tali on the n jw roads constructed The total amount of share capital at the end of the year was $4,640,289,578 and the total amou nt of funded debt was $5,105,902,025. This gives a total of share capital and funded debt of $9,746,141,603. This total is equal to more than $58,400 for eaoh mile of road in existence at the end of the' year. Mr. Poor states that, countinct in all formsof indebtedness, the cost of the Toads as measured by the total was 859,688. or close, to $50,000 per mile on the average, tlte total indebtedness having been $10,122,035,900. One would expect the average indebtedness per mile to decrease, but according to Mr. 1 oor it increased last year Sl.HUi. Regarding net earnings, Mr. Poor reports that in 18110 the average was 3.4 per cent., against 9.3 per cent, in imu, 3.2 in 1888, 8.9 in 1887, 3.7 in 1886, and 3.4 in 18)15. These are the averages, of cotrse, on the nominal capital. If we suppose the aotual capital invested to be one-half the nominal amount, which is in accordance with Mr. Poor's estimate in former years, we nd that capital invest ed in railroads pays on the average fairly satisfacto ry profits, lhe earnings pay interest on tho funded debts, which in the aggregate exceed the notual capital invested, aceofding to 3Ir. Poor's estimate, and give an average of about I! per cent, for dividends besides. While it is true that many roads do not earn dividends, or even fixed charges, yet on the whole the railroads of the country are paying concerns. Tho.ie which are not have been prematurely built, or built where railroads are not needed, or wrecked by intentionally or ignorantly bad management. It will be observed that there was a slight improvement last year over the yr before in net earnings, which, however, were still below those of 1886 and 1887. Tha Orai.t and the Little. About 9 o'clock at night, and almost directly overhead, one seen the bright star of the first magnitude known as Arotiiras. Recent and most careful investigations relating to this Btar show soma astonishing results. That great sun is now known to bo distant from us 181 light years ; that U, it takes light from it, traveling 186,000 miles in. a second of time, 181 years to reach tis, or 1,061,000,000.000,000 miles away. This star is 050,000 times larger than our sun. If Arcturns were a hollow sphere, it would hold 680,0'JO,00,000 balls as large as the earth we inhabit. The star is now coming nearly directly toward us at the rate of 19 miles a second, but goes athwart our position about 350 miles a second, so that in a few millions of years it will wholly disappoar from our range of vision. Such distauce and such magnitudes are wholly beyond the conception of finite mi nds, and are absolutely appalling. What may this great solar center have revolving around it in the form of planets? And here wo are, puny mortals, upon this bit of stellar dust called the earth, pluming ourselves with onr penny-wbistle doings. The greatest of mortals and of mortal deeds are sb nothing in the infinite scheme of existences. Probably with in five millions of years some great star like Arcturus may strike and instantly vapori.e this solar system. Think of it, little man, for where will you and yonr deeds be then? Liohthing played a serious triok upon Geo. Rood, a resident of Jewett, Conn. A thunderbolt struck him, causing severo but not dangerous burns. Since the accident his body eeems full of eleotricity. When ho places his hands together they adhere, and when his foot touch it is difficult to separate them. Fobeigm papers announce that an engagement has been arranged between the young King of Servia and Princess Xouiu, the daughter of the Prince of Montenegro. The young lady is only 11 years of age. tt has long been known that the Czar favored such a match. Several pigs were missed by a farmer in Gladwin, Mich. After watching several nights for the rogue, the vigilance of tho sentinel was at last rewarded. He sw a snake carrying off another young pig. The snake wan dispatched, and found to measure aver nineteen feet in length.

a- yu 111s way to o is the outgrowth of the famous feud betwee i Judge Botkin and Bam Wood, who was shot by James Brennan June 23. Information received shows that plans to kill Judge Botkin wero laid three weeks ago, and that the intended victim was made aware of it the day following that on which the asi assination had been arranged. Botkin li res on a olaim three miles from Bpringlleld. His term ol court was to open th3ro, and the murderers were to lie in w.iit for him in a deep canyon and kill him when he started for

Bprincneld. It was one of the conspir ators that disclosed he plot two weeks ago, and Judge Botl 111 kept absolutely quiet, telling only the sheriff and his deputy. Accordingly the sheriff and Mx deputies met at Eott in s house aua remained thero till 2: SO in the morning when they started for the deep canyon to tilde until the murderers should appear. At daybreak fortj citizens of Woodsdale and Bpringfielc, armed with Winchesters and revolvers, rode up, and, finding the sheriff and deputies in ambush, eommonoed. firing, A desperate battle ensued, lasting until sunrise. The sheriff and two deputies lost their lives at the hands of the iissassins. The mob then dispersed and tbe three deputies who escaped unhurt went to Springfield and reported the killing. Then they proceeded to Judge Bodkin's place and warned hltu 01 tne danger. He immediately fled with his .'amily to Arkansas, where he is being guarded till the militia arrives. Attorney General Ives, received a dis patch stating that warrants had been Is sued for the arrest of the murderers. He said that would do no good, how ever, for one-half of the people were in sympathy with the outlaws. Adjutant General Roberts has ordered the two companies of militia at Sterling and Hutchinson to proceed to Arkalon, where Judge liotklu s llle is in peril. When Sam Wood was murdered last June it was generally charged by his mends that Judge uotktn and the. ad herents of the latter were responsible for the assassination, but no one exoept James Brennan, the man who did the shooting, was arrested. Judge Botkin however, did not feel safe in that part of tho country, and spent a great portion of his time during lhe summer months in Topeka, and with his brother, near 1 ort bcott. When court convened at Hugoton, Stevens County, ir. September, Attor ney General Ives wus present to conduot the examination 01 urennan, and a ape clal State officer was present to preserve the peace, but as no attempt was made to create any kind of a disturbance the State authorities relaxed their vigilance and for some time the Botkin diHtrict has boon considered a safe and peaceable port of the Sta;e. Since July, 1888, there has been tur moil in Stevens County. The county seat contest between Woodsdale and Hugoton culminated in a massacre of Sheriff cross and Ills deputies Dy sam Robinson and bis gang of about twentyseven mon from Hugoton. There was an abatement of the killing then until early last year, when James Brennan, of Kichneld, Morton County, shot tind killed Sam Wood, 0' Woodsdale, the acknowledged leader of the Woodsdale faction. This killing oocurred in front of the littse churcr in Hugoton, Judge Botkin having converted the church into a court-room, whoio the June term of the Stevens County District Court woe being hold. Brennan was arrested and after two attempts to give him a trial on the charge of murder, was token to the jail at Hutchinson to await tha third and last attempt to secure a jury this month. Since Woods' death hostilities have cease 1 in Hugoton, and apparently have now been transferred over the boundary line into Seward County, which has been peaceful heretofore, though it has always been acknowledged tht.t Springfield, the county seat of Sewurd, has been in sympathy with Woodsdile and Arkalon, tho prospective county seat in sympathy with Hugoton. This feeling of favoritism, which unquestionably exists, has evidently risen to that point whore it became uncontrollable, and the Springfield people have ge ne in to help out the Woodsdale faction. Tho new killing increases tho number of men slaughtered in the counties of Southwestern Kansas to about twelve, not taking int account the famous Lfoti-Coronado County seat fight in Wichita County. There has never been a feeling of security in Stevens County since the famous Kay Meadows massacre of 1888, though at times the publio pulse has been serene and bloodshed seemed an impossibility. But those men in Stevens, Seward, and Morton Counties, and in all other counties surrounding that quarter, never forgive a wrong or forget an injury. The direot causa of the attack on Judge Botkin lies in the fact that over since tho feud began his sympathies have been witb Hugoton, though his homo is at Springfield, in Seward County, forty miles away. James Brennan, who killed Sam Wood, was his counselor and friend and traveled about with him on his judicial Journeys through the counties comprising the district. At tbe first attempt to try Brennan in September last at rlugotou Judge Botkin refused to preside, for tho reason, he said, that Brennan had boon his rrlcnd. bo no trial was hod nor any attempt made to secure a jury until Nov. 4, when Judge Wall, of Wichita, made the elfort. Judgo Botkin wns in Hugoton when the InHt attempt to try Brennan was made, and it Is remembered that when ho drove out of town after tho court had failed to get a jury tho sheriff of Seward County wont with him with a Winchester over his shoulder. The sheriff of Seward Cnuntv had simrjlv taken Brennan's place as Botkin's body-guard. Poisoned Her Whisky. The conviction of Dr. Graves for the poisoning of Mrs. Barnaby will probably convince that gentleman that whisky is a bad thing to fool with. St, Joseph News. Denver juries differentiate between death by poison and pistol, evidently. Hence Dr. Graves has been convicted of murdor in tbe first degree for :Mrs. Barnaby s death, lho pistol, however, has not yet reached the dignity of first degree murder in Colorado. Philadelphia Press. Dn. Giuves, convicted at Denver of the crime of poisoning Mrs. Barnaby, of Providence, R. I., has confessed that he hod a hand In the crime, but ho is careful to Implicate Colonel Ballou, a law yer now trying to abi ent himsolf from the oountry. The Doctor seems to have administered tho poisoned whisky after taking legal advice. New York Adver tiser. It is a crime that has excited a crest deal of attention, and that will goon, the ll6t of celebrated coses. Dr. Graves has money enough to keep the lawyers busy in his behalf for some time yet.
