ROM R5HGER RALPH;

BY WELDOH J. COBB. CKAPTKB X XITI Continued. Darrel seized the bandit's arm and forced him th.Ouffh the doorway. Despard made no resistance as Brown snitched his revolver from his bolt. Standing in the darkness near tlio door wia a queer-looking vehicle with a roar gxitod door. "Get .a," oplered tho Sheriff, sternly. "What am I arrested ior?" demanded Dtspard. "Never mind; If you don't want to be lynched yon ojey orders." "This Is an o'd treasure wagon, and stout and secure," said Brown to Darrel. -There is a driver?" "Yes." "And he has orders to proceed to Miners' Gulch?" "Exactly. Here Is the key to the vehicle. Get In with your prisoner, and lesvtt before the miners know of the capture. " There was an accomplice of this man. " "Where is ho?" "Escaped." "I'll try and find him. Drive ahead." barrel sprt.ng into the vehicle and elcaed the door. It shut with a spring lock. Darrel held his revolver ready for use. D spard, sullen and silent, sat glaring fiercely at him. Xhe vehicle left the place and started for the mountain roads Tho capture of the bandit had been accomplished most expeditiously. Darrol well ftnew, however, that he must be very watchful of so wily a foe. For over n hour not a word was sroken. and the vehicle proceeded on Its wy. There was a small shelf In the forward part of the wagon. Here a litti lamp cast Jim rays of light over the interior. "I think I Iinowyoii at last, "remarked Despard, fina lly, in a sullen, sneering tt ne of voice. "Indeed!" "Yes. You are the friend of Banger Balpb," "And his avenger." "Yon eipec , to prove me to be his assassin?" "And that tf the others yes. "Where are you taking me?" To Miners Gulch." This seemod to ' alarm and subdue I'espard, for he relapsed into silence. A casual glance from the rear barred v-lndow shoved that the vehicle was slowly treading a dangerous road on the very edge of the mountains. Suddenly he started. Ho was positive that a figure on horseback had flitted by th vehicle. A minute later there was a shot. It was succeeded by a cry for help and then a fall. -Whoat" The horses came to a halt The voice was that of Dan ton. A revolver was thrust through the bars. Its possessor was sheltered by the darkness teyond. "Move, and you are a dead man," spoke Danton's voice. "Whoever you are, you are in deadly peril. lean see j our every movement. Listen to what 1 say." These words were directed to Darrel. He clutched ids revolver and was silent. "Your driver I have disposed of," (poke Dantoo. "You are In my power. IJespard, who is this man?" "Tho scoot s friend " "Grey?" fc Yes." "Mr. Grey, you will first hand ont the revolver you aave In your hand. " Darrel mo red as if to obey Dan con's request. Instead, he raised it suddenly and fired. Danton diew back. The horses, alarmed at the shot, started off. With tremendous velocity the vohlcle was dragged down a steep grade. Without ; driver, they dashed madly forward. One glance showed Darrel their awful peril. They wer so near the edge of the precipice that it seemed as If it would go ever tho edee of the declivity. Despard himself, terrified, sprang 'tcitedly to his feet. A yawning abyss showed as the wagon struck a tree. The horses broke loo o and dashed away. The vehicle tottered, crashed, and fell over the steep mountain road.

CHAPTER XXIV. A mMTiTiTTTO ADVaKTITBS. It was some minutes before the two men in the locked wagon box could fully realize what had occurred. Thoy knew that the horses hod run away, and, the wagon colliding with a tree, they hail, dashed madly onward, deserting the vehicle. The wagon bad tottered on the brink of too abyss, and then, turning, fell downwaid. Darrel (key caught one glimpse of the gloomy depths of the valley below, and gave hlmse'f np for lost. To his amazement, thewairon whirled downward only a few feet, Then it came to un abrupt halt. j Its sudden stoppage brought htm and Despard together with a shock. Amid the excitement and peril of th occasion, Di.rre! thought not of treachery 03 the pi rt of his companion. Thu latter seemed paralyzed with terror, anil 1 his face was white and craven. "We are loomed!" he muttered, in ;i frightened U ne. "Not at all , " replied Darrel "We ara enemies. Dyke Despard, but for once we had better :t in unison. AuythJjg to escape a fall Into that dark abyss. " Dejp&rd shuddered as he pointed to the yawning depths below. The lamp in the wagon had been extinguished oy the shock of the fa'l, but the noonlight outside revealed their surroundings plainly. Darrel soon learned their real s tuatlon. The wagon lay on its side, about ten feet below the edge of the road. It had fallen partly on a shelf of rock, party across a tree, and theoe supported it temporarily. The hold was a frail one, however,' and the least dlslodemect might send them whirling to death a hundred feet below. Darrol groped his way to the door and unlocked it. "If I allow you to follow me, will you agree to make no resistance he asked of Despard. "I promise," replied the outlaw eagerly. "Very well; by clinging to the shrubs and rocks ws can reach the cliff." Ditrrel stepped out tho door and clambered over the shelving rock. Hy careful c im aing he reached tho cliff in tafety. He aided Despard, who had followed him, to reach the same place. Uoth breathed relievedly at their marvelous escai e from death. Darrel was once more on his guard, and the rel ntless raptor, as he clasped his revolver in his hand. "March on," he said, gently, "we have lost time," He glanced up and down the desertedinountatn r ad. There was no trace of either Dan ton or the horses that had broien loosu from the wagon. "Hold on, ' said Despard. Well, what is it?" "S ju intend to take me to Miners' Gulch?" "Yes." "What for?" Can you ask? Your many crimes!" "It will bo poor satisfa-tfon to yoa" "Why?" "You are losing time. " "In what way?" asked Darrel. "In seeking revenge on me, you are leaving your friends in danger. " "What friends?" "Banger Balph and the girl, Inez Tracey?" "Banger Ralph is dead." "No; he itscaped at the old hermit's cava. I sat him. " "Allowlne that, he can take care of himself." But Ute girl She it prisoner with

the Modocs. See here: I'm willing to help you find her If you will allow me my liberty." "Ko; I shall place you in safe hands. Then I shall find ;ho girl alone and unailed. March on." Despard obeyed tho mandate, and stir ted down tho road with a sullen fao(. The menace of Darrel's revolver w is sufficient to make him an abject arid unresisting captive Not a word was spoken as thr Journey w.i9 resumed. Dstrrol resolved to convey his prisoner to the next mining settlnment, and there make known his crimes, and return to search for tho driver of the wagon, who had been shot by Danton. I. at or, ho learned that the driver had escaped with a slight wound. For over an hour the lonoly tramp continued. Several times, as they came

to where the ro,d wa3 more tortuous, Darrol pa:: sod. Ho Imagined ho could hoar hor?es' hoofs in the 'distance, but finally attributed tho sou:id to some ravine waterway or cataract. Ho was not aware that a wily foj was upon his trail, that Dospard's accomplice, Danton, had followed thorn, intent on rescuing the former. As they rounded a point of rocks, Grey started quickly. Too late to avoid a catastrophe, Darrel o.-sayod to fire at an advancing foe suddon'y revealed behind them. It was Danton, and be was on horseback. With a deft movement a lasso shot out from the saddle bow. The rope enclosed his form, pinioning his arms tiphtly. Tho revolver fell to the ground. With a cry of fierce delight Despard seized it Danton gave the lasso a tightening jork, secured tho other ond round his waist, ard faced his captivo with malignant Jot depicted on his evil face. "The tables are turned, my friend," he jeered. Darrel was silent with discomfiture and chairtn. Despard proceeded to see that tho lasso was firmly tied around the prisoner. "Wt won't delay here," romarkod Danton. "Some of this man's friends may be on our trail. Come along, Captoin." Danton nrgod forward his horse. Despard walked by his side conversing with him. Darrol was compelled to keep pace with them, secured to the other end of the rope. He could hear eiiough of the conversation of his captors to knew tho : they were discussing bis fate. He mado every effort possible to release his hands, and had almost succeeded in getting one arm loose, when Danton suddenly halted. What is it?" asked Despard. "Look ahead." "A fire!" "Yes." "Perhaps a camp-firo of the Indiana " "That you must learn. Beconnoiter nd see who it is. Despard loft them and wont In the direction of a glow of light in a thicket a short distauce away. Danton sat carelessly regarding Darrel, until Despard returned. The leader reappeared finally greatly excited. "We're In luck, Danton!" he cried. "What do you mean?" "It Is a camp yonder in the thicket. " Bedskins?" No." "Vigilantes?" No." "What then?" A dozen of one of onr old bauds. Danton nttoroil a satisfied ejaculation. He started the horso forward so suddenly that Darral was thrown from his feet Tho latter was at that moment near the edge of the cliff and foil precinltately over It. With a yell of fright Dauton was dragged from his horse The astounded Despard saw the two mon disappear from sight with a cry of alarm. Tho lasso, attached to both, whipped around a tree that grow near the edge of the road. Glancing over, Despard saw the two men come together with a shock. Their weight evenly balanced, tiicy were unabio to ascend. Darrol had managed to get one arm free. With this be clutched the lasso. For a moment Danton was terrlBed. Then he discerned a means of escape, if he could lower Darrel and raise himself, he could roach a p'ace of safety. He seized the side of the lasso supporting Darrel and shot np several feet Then seizing some twigs growing out of the cliffs, he endeavored to ascend still higher. In a flash Dirrol comprehended his peril. He discerned that when Danton reached the tree across which they were swung, he would cut the ropo and send him to his death below. With a free hand he solzed tho foot of Danton. "Let go!" yell-jd tho bandit "I will not. You will let me ascend first or I will hold on to yon all night" "Shoot him!" shoutod Danton to Despard, wild with rage. Tho outlaw leader leaned ovor tho edgo of tho cliff and leveled a revolver at Darrel. There was a fla'h and a report Darrol withdrew his ba-id Irom the lasso as a hot, searing sensation coursed his lingers Despard begtm to pull at tho rope Darrel shot downward and Danton reachod the tree. There was a flash of a gleaming blade and tho lasso was severed. Darrel fell with terrific velocity. He must have fallen somo twenty feet when he stopped abruptly. He bad fallen into a trco which swayed and gave way with a slight crash. Darrel found that Its branching top had split and hold him a prisoner In the half-severed cleft. For the present he was safe at least He glanced u pward. All view of the top of the cliff was shut out from his vision. Below, far as bo could look Into tho cavernous depths, was darkness and gloom. Evidently bin enemies supposed he had been dasheJ to pieces on the rocks below. His position was certainly a most unenviable and perilous one To extricato himself from his dilemma he luiew that he must exert unusal caution and Ingenuity. Without mueh difficulty he released himself from the folds of the lasso and then from the crotch of the tree. A thick furze or underbrush covered tho sido of the declivity and Darrol determined to descend. Ho mado a loop of the lasso and descended its length clinging to the shrubs. His doscont in til's way was a laborious one and It was- several hours before he reached tho ravine below. He regarded his escape as miraculous, and ho was so exhausted that he flung hlmso'f i n the ground and lay thero for some timo. He aroused himself at last and traversed the liauks of the lltt'e stream that rail through the ravine. As ho rounded a pro'eetlng ledge of rocks, Darrel Grey paused in some surprisa There was a deep indentation In the solid rock. Hero a light showed. It proceeded from a small hand lamp set on a rock Its rays showed two persons. One of them was a man fancifully attired, whom he had never soon before. His companion at a glunco Darrel .recognized. It was White Fawn, the Modoc princess. HAITEU XXV. TCI IS OLII HERMIT. Darrol Grey did not at once manifest himself at his discovery of his friend tho Indian girl. Instead, ho stood silently regarding the two persons ho had happened to find so strangoly. Ko was, too, somewhat puzzled at the actions of White Fawn's companion. The whole dress and manner of tlie latter were strangely peculiar and icrotesquo. He possessed a patr archial appearance and wore a white beard coming nearly to his waist. He wore dark spectacles anc a strange cono-liko hat on his head. His dress was a mixture of civilized and savage, and was ornamented with shells and war-paint On the rock before him lav a small oblong box. from which he had just taken a long reed, which was evidently a musical instrument So fully was Darrel'a cnrloaity aroused at all be aw

"Lave that to mo and my science," he replied, confidently. "Tho outlaws' camp is just beyond tho valley, you say?" "Yes.

An Invasion of JBuglumL According to jwipular estimate, it requires not less than three generntlona of wealth to evolve a poutlcman from the common herd of humanity. By this standard of measurement Mr. W. Astor (it is not necessary to follow the custom of New York papei-s and use type enouRli to spell his entire name) is a gentleman, as aiv many other descendants from tin? traders, smugglers, and llsliermcn of old Manhattan. His grandfather, who smelled strongly of salted pelts, in which he dealt, has left the Englishspeaking business world the invaluable symbol "O. K.," which he first used, these letters being the initial ones of the two words, "OH Korrect, "as that dealer in hides spelled them. Somewhat to the consternation of New York society, Mr. Astor, he of the third generation, actually contemplates going to London to reside. ' Now, no ono questions his right to reside where it pleases him best, for he is only one of many who look upon America in its newness and rawness as only suitable for money-making, but as not the place in which to get the best things out of this life. How common the expression, "Europe is the only land in which to live." The Astors have always been noted for looking well to the interests of the Astors, and the present possessor of tho Astor estates may reside where it best suits him, and none need seriously question his taste or resolve. In England, especially in London, a gentleman can always have the society of gentlemen, especially when, like Mr. Astor, he has more than a pecuniary independence. According to the rule aliove cited, Mr. Jay Gould cannot be regarded a gentleman, and that title can only rest upon his grandson, should a goodly proportion of the Gould wealth be preserved for him, and this long after the ancestral Jay, like the ancestral Astors, has found oblivion in the tomb. Who knows but that the great and powerful families of England'a generation or two hence may be the Astors, Tanderbilts and the Goulds. England may manage American breweries, while tho "irony of fate" is likely to "even up" this invasion of of our malt interests by furnishing the sea-girt isle with her "tlrst families." How the President Is Paid. Just how President Harrison is paid perhaps one man in a thousand knows. It is taken for granted, though, that the President gets his hands on his salary in some way and spends it very much after the fashion ot other men. Tho statutes of the United States lis the salary of the President and other public officials. Mr. Harrison is entitled to $50,000 a year, and is supposed to be paid quarterly. In fact, he is not. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Crouns has charge of the payment of salaries, and once a month he sends to the division of accounts a document addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury in these words: "Please cause a warrant to be issued in favor of Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States, for the sum of 84,166.07, with which he is to be charged and held accountable under the following head of appropriation." The spction of the statute is quoted and the document signed by the assistant secretary. The warrant for this amount is then Issued and recorded in the proper books, when it is sent to Treasurer Nebekcr. who Issues his draft on the United States Treasury infavorof 1 he President. Thisdraft is no different from any other, save that it is in the name of tho President alone. If the chief magistrate Is in the ci'.y it is sent to the Wbite House by a npecial messenger and delivered to the President or his private secretary. After the President puts his name on the back of the draft it becomes negotiable paper, the same as any other, and is sent by him to the Columbia Bank, where it is deposited to his credit and becomes a part of his private account. The bravery of a New Hampshire railroad engineer deserves prominent mention. More ttian once has some brave engineer or llreman ventured on the forward part of a locomotive to rescue a child playing on the track who had not heeded the warning bell or whistle. But in this instance the engineer, Charles J. Hutchins, himself fell while attempting to rescue the child, and was pushed from the track by the locomotive. He succeeded in catching hold of one of the cars, and found that the child, over whom the engine had passed without injury, was in danger f roni the moving wheels of the following cars. With a presence of mind and daring such as is seldom recorded, he reached under the car and succeeded in catching the child and holding it away from the wheels until tho train stopped. The child was uninjured. The engineer suffered only slight bruises. His act of heroism adds a new honor to the body of brave men to which he belongs. Measures and Coiiteutg.

On tile Color or Water. Viewed in relatively shallow matses, clear water appears wholly colorless. In our daily dealings with the liquid we seldom have occasion to observe it in great depths ; hence it has been generally believed that water is quite destitute of color. Tho ancients were accustomed to explain the transparency of some bodies by assuming that they partook of tho nature of water; ana we now speak of a diamond as of the first water, to emphasize its perfect transparency and colorlefsnesH. If, however, we regard the larger masses of water in nature tho seas, lakes and rivers wo shall receive a different impression. In these, tho water not only appears colored, but of various colors, and of a rich diversity of shades. The Mediterranean is of a beautiful indigo, the ocean is sky-blno, the Lake of Geneva is celebrated for its lovely and transparent nBnrn Maters; tho Lake oi CoiiRtanco and the llhine, the Lake oi Zurich and the Lake of Lucerne have waters quite as transparent, but rather green than blue; and the green waters of the little Lake of Eloenthal, near G lftris, can hardly be distinguished from the surrounding meadows. Other waters arc of a darker color, like these oi the Lake of StatTel, at the foot of the Bavarian Alps, which was quite black the day I saw it, though clear in shallow places. Theso facts start the questions whether water, after all, has not a color; if it has, what the color is, and what causes the varied tints under which it is seen. The solution of these questions lias long occupied the minds of scientific inquirers, and it cannot yet be said that they have been answered. Disagreement still prevails respecting them. line ami mine. "What queer notions you do get up!" said one unsympathetic member of tho family to another. "Notions, Indeed!" said the person addressed. "I don't corao out with half the number of startling propositions that you do." "Ob, well," was. tho serious roply, "mine are Ideas." 'now many people there are In tho world with ridiculous hobbies," said a gentleman to a follow traveler, with whom he was trying to become acquainted. "I l;not- it" ?ald tho other, "and how thoy do try to thrust them on the public! I've laughed about it again and again." "So have I. Now, for example, there's that sun spot man " "Excuse me. Science Is never ridiculous. I am the sun-spot man."
