-MIS. SARUKNT'S WITHDRAWAL. l-'rank 1'. Sarg-ent has addressed a letter to the Secretary of the Republican District Committee formally withdrawing from the race for Congress into which he had entered. After stating' the circumstances of his candidacy he says:

What my prospects may have been since my name was announced I am unable to say. although 1 have been gratified to learn that 1 had many warm friends and supporters. Soon after my name was mentioned it bepan to be rumored that 1 would not be supported by railway men. and doubts arose in the minds of some as to the possibility of my beiULT nominated. It seems, from careful inquiry, that I was not popular with certain classes of railway employes because of my conservative policy in performing the executive duties of my office as •rrand master of the Urotherwood of Locomotive Kiren en and refusing- to sanction a strike on one of the railway lines leading out of Terre Haute. .Sine that time the Pullman boycott lias been put on and because of mv attitude at this time in adhering: to the Jaws of the organization with which 1 am connected, fulfilling my obligation as a member and keeping- inviolate my oath as the chief executive officer and refusing- to involve the organization in the contest. 1 am again condemned and have incurred the displeasure of many in railway service. So far as I am personally concerned 1 care nothing for the enmity thus brought on mvself. having done my duty faithfully as an officer.and beli» viu«r that I have acted the part of a friend to my brothers in railway service: but I owe a duty to my personal friends in Terre Haute ho have seen lit to place confidence enough in me to give me their support looking to my nomination for the honorable position o: a representative of the Republican party of the

Eighth Congressional district. and that is to withdraw my name in order that the party may in no way be handicapped on account of the ill feeling that has arisen towards me among railway employes.

It is my de.sire that a Republican represent the Eighth district, that the strongest and best man Vigo county can bring out be nominated at the coming convention, and with my knowledge of the situation and the feeling that now exists. 1 do not believe it to the best interests of the party and my friends to have my name remain before the delegates, and I therefore most respectfully withdraw from the race and ask those of the delegates and iny personal friends who haye so faithfully labored for my success to give their support to such a person as is believed to be the strongest and best man and one who will insure victory for the party, and a representative that the people of the

Eighth district will have reason to be proud-of. In the coming campaign, if 1 can be of any service to the party. 1 shall be glad to do what little 1 can.

It may be regarded as a fortunate circumstance in our history that the Chicago lawlessness was suppressed by a Democratic President instead of a Republican 1'resident. Had such lawlessness occurred while Harrison was President and he had done precisely what Mr. Cleveland has done, we never should uive heard the last of President

Harrison's invasion of State rights, lint now, as President Cleveland, without asking anybody's consent, has sent the I'niled States army into Illinois to enforce United States laws, and that too. over the protest of (lovernor Altgeld, we hope that the country will hear no more of the silly twaddle about the National army "invading" sovereign Slatos. President Cleveland and e.\-Piesident Harrison are thoroughly agreed upon the proposition that wherever the I'nited States laws are opposed by combinations too powerful to be handled by the courts, it at once becomes the duty of the President to order the army into sin locality to aid in enforcing the law: an I that, too, without waiting for the Governor of the State where such lawlessness occurs, to ask the aid of the .National Government. It may now Vie regarded as settled that the National Government, in the execution of its own laws, is supreme, and that no State lias the right to object. The vote in the Senate endorsing the President—unanimous with the exception of PelFer—is an emphatic endorsement of the liepub, ican doctrine that this is a Nation with a big- N.

"IT is pretty near time" says the La Porte A rtjiw, (Dem.) "for some coolheaded, sagacious and unselfish Democrats to come to the front and by united action pull the party out of the mire, and place it on clean and dry ground.'' Cool-headed, sagacious and unselfish Democrats seein to be about as scarce as hen's teeth.

NEXT winter the public will be called on to feed the families of men who are throwing away good positions, at the order of the marplot Debs and without any grievance of their own. If charity halts a little then it will not be strange.

IN his efforts to maintain the honor of Federal authority President Cleveland has had the support of every lawabiding citizen, regardless of politics.

SroiM'i.vo work to injure wealth is the last extreme of folly. If all the factories in a town are shut, and their men locked out, does that hurt the employes or employed?

TUK United States Treasury has escaped from the fiscal year with a deficit of of $75,000,000 and a decrease of $88,910,392 in revenue.

CUAPTER XIX.

"Great heavens, but what ts thatt" The Indians were in truth looking for the wagons. Both parties had a narrow escape. Their presence in the valley had been detected by scout or stroller and information carried to some point from which a war party of seventy had been dispatched to surprise and annihilate them. This party had come in by one of the narrow valleys and found the camp abandoned. The severe storm had obliterated all traces, and the Indians had gone up the valley to pick up the trail. As they returned they were riding at a slower pace, and were spread out the width of the valley.

Would they look into the inouth of the canyon? The query was answered five minutes later. Three warriors turned their ponies to the right and rode in to within ten feet of the stone wall. They rode its entire length and baited in the gap and looked up the canyon.

The men were lying flat down on the earth, each clutching his rifle, and horses and wagons were just around the bend.

Could it escape the Indians that the wall was artificial? Must not their sharp eyes detect the figures hugging the earth? It did not seem that the gold hunters had ona show in a thousand to escape detection, and yet they were not detected. After a halt of not more than a minute, though it seemed a quarter of an hour to each man, the trio of redskins passed on and the moment of peril was passed.

A bit of natural philosophy stood between the gold hunters and discovery. The Indians had turned Into the gloom and shadow from the bright sunshine, and their vision was shortsighted and uncertain. Had they waited a little longer they must have seen something or other to arouse their suspicions, but they seemed impatient to get on. "Thank God I" whispered more than one man as the horses were heard moving, a way.

In half an hour the gold hunters dared exult and plan. Two men were left at the wall as lookouts, three or four others were held as a reserve at the camp, and the captain, Harkins and Joe set out up the canyon to search for the cave of gold. When the darkness became so intense as to interfere with their progress they lighted torches and a thorough inspection was made of both walls.

The canyon extended into the mountain for a full mile, winding and turning, and long enough before it ended the pine trees met above it and prevented a single ray of light from descending. Nothing answering the description of the dying hunter could be found. He had said, as Harkins understood, "five miles to the right of the peak." Here was the spot. He had described the mouth of the canyon and everything here bore out the description. He said that Bridger went up the canyon about a mile and then turned into a smaller one running to the left.

There was no such canyon. The left bank was solid rock and earth from the wagons to the spot where the great rift stopped short at a flinty wall a thousand feet high. The mighty wrath had split the mountain thus far, but it could go no farther.

Three times the men traveled from the camp to the end of the canyon, and then all were certain that Harkins had been mistaken. They sat down on a bowlder in the bed of the canyon to rest and discuss the matter, while the single torch, secured in a cleft, hardly allowed thtrin to see each other's faces. "Well, we have no right to complain, «is we have lost nothing," said the captain. "Indeed, if we had not slipped in here not a man of us would now be wearing his scalp." "Wasn't the old man flighty in his last hour?" asked Joe of Harkins, who seemed much cast down. "He gave no evidence of it on the contrary, his mind seemed wonderfully clear to the last." "Perhaps he said to the left instead of the right of Custer's peak," suggested the captain. "No, 1 am sure he said to the right, but he may have meant the left." "It's no use crying over spilt milk," laughed the captain. "If we have lost the cave we have faved our scalps. I'm inclined to think the old man misspoke himself. 1

Ijelieve those renegades gave this place a thorough looking over and are now in the canyon below, if there is a canyon there. If the cave is there they have got the gold ere this, and that ends it."

Harkins sat with bowed head. He had felt so sure that old Saunders told the truth that he hated to give up the search. There was deep silence for a moment, broken by a whisper from Joe, "Great heavens, but what is that!" They were near the wall which formed the end of the canyon. All raised, their heads and looked Into the darkness apd saw a faint light shining out like a star. At the 8ame moment their eara caught the sound of many voices chanting in low tones, and a strange, weird music filled the heavy air. "Hush—sit still!" whispered the captain as Harkins seemed about to spring up.

Then from the face of the solid rock issued forth a strange procession of strange shadows—shadows which moved in double file right past the trio down into the blackness of the canyon toward the wagons. The one who led the procession carried what looked like a banner. Behind him was one who seemed to carry an urn. Thep came fonr shadows which bore a bier, and those who came after had their faces upturned and were wailing and chanting.

The men saw and heard and realized, but were chilled and powerless to move. Can the dead come back to earth? Do the ghosts of those who have gone before gather in the shadows and the darkness and hold reunions?

Chant! Chant! Chantl Out from the 6olid wall—a wall in which the sharp eyes of the gold hunters had failed to detect a crevice large enough to conceal a squirrel—poured the Btrauge, queer specters, and down into the darkness marched the procession.

March! March! March! Their feet kept time to the wild, weird chant, but not the sound of a footfall

ghostly tigure stood out separate and distinct, but not a face could be seon. "We are doomed men!" groaned Harkins, as he covered his face with his hands to shut out the sight. "Aye! We shall never leave this spot alive!" added Joe. "Hush, men!" whispered the captain as he raised his hand. "The}' are dead, true enough, but the}' aro the dead of a thousand years ago—of the cave dwellers and the Aztecs. I have seen them twice before, and they brought no bad luck. Here they come on the other side!"

The three were seated on a rock in the center of the rift. The head of the spectral procession had gone down the canyon several hundred feet and then turned to come back on their left, passing them again within a few feet.

March! March! March! Chantl Chantl Chant! Soft and low and sweet camo tlio notes—like the murmur of the August breeze in a forest pine. The feeling of awe was crowded out of the hearts of the living, and a feeling of sadness and reverence crept in.

It was the dead burying its dead! March! March! March! Never the echo of a footfall, never the touch of skeleton foot to the flinty rock. The ear caught no sound but that of the ghostly voices chanting in unison.

And of a sudden he who headed the spectral procession swerved to the left and disappeared' into the solid wall and was followed by the long lines until the last had been swallowed up and lost sight of. And then, as silence and darkness reigned again, the captain said: "Men, we have a treasure here. Examine that wall and you will find an opening to a cave behind it."

CHAPTER XX.

The stone fell to the earth.

"Were we awake or asleep?" asked Joe, as he rubbed his eve3. "Very vide awake," answered the captain. "And was it a procession, and did we hear music?" asked Harkins. "Yes. 1 saw and heard the same thing once in the Rocky mountains, and once again in an old ruin in Arizona. I have met several men who have also seen and heard." "There is no opening in the cliff," said Joe as he held the torch aloft "not a crevice where they came out—not a hole where they went in. We have been fooled by the darkneos." "You and Harkins return to the wagon for crowbars, and while you are gone 1 will collect wood aud build a fire to work by," answered the captain.

His seeming confidence inspired them, and without waiting for a closer inspection of the cliff they headed down the canyon for the tools. Upon reaching the wagons all was quiet, and the queries of the men regarding the use the crowbars were to be put to were made light of, as it was deemed best not to raise hopes which might be disappointed.

The captain had a bright fire blazing against the cliff as the men returned, and in response to their looks of inquiry he put his hands on the rocks and said: "See this line running here, and up this way, and to the right, and down and back? A great stone has been set in here and cemented in its place. The work was done so long ago that the cement is as hard as the rock and almost the color of it. One of you begin at that side, while 1 take a hand here,"

Ten jiinutes' work proved what he had asserted—that a large stone had been fitted to an opening—but the work of drilling out the cement was like drilling into the stone itself. When noon came they had made a considerble impression, but fully realized that they had undertaken a laborious task.

The forenoon had passed with those at camp without alarm. The sentinels thought they heard the reports of rifles down the valley, but were not certain, Not an Indian had shown himself, and it was hoped that they had been thrown off the scent and would leave the valley.

From the first the two girls had been drawn to each other, and Lizzie found a deep sympathizer in Bess. When brought into camp by Harkins the poor girl was in a truly forlorn condition, as may bo Imagined. While she still labored with the grief which choked her every time she thought of the s,'d fate of her parents, she had been made very presentable in appearance, and more than one of tho wagonmen felt his heart beat faster lit sight of her sweet, sad face.

As the trio returned to camp from their labors up tho canyon, Bess beckoned her father aside and said: "Our friend is worrying and wants to talk with you." "Yes, 1 want to ask yon about my mother," added Lizzie. "I am sure I saw father lying on the ground, and have no doubt the renegades killed him as the first part of their plan. Mother aud I both got away, and she was not overtaken. What would be her fate?" "It is hard to say," replied Harkins after reflecting on the matter. "If she got through the night all right she may have found the trail of the wagons in the morning and overtaken the party. We must hope that she did. It may aleo be that your father was only stunned by tho blow, and is ere this all right again and with his friends." "Do you think there is even the faintest hope?" she tearfully asked. "I do." "Thank God for thatl I shall aimoat cease worrying under that hope. And now what of myself?" "You are to remain with us, of course." "But for how long?" "We cannot eyen gness. We may head back for civilization in a week— perhaps not for three months. It depends on our luck as gold hunters. It is more than likely that some of the party to which you belonged will bo encountered soon, aud who knows what good news we may receive. You are thrice welcome to all it may be in our power to do for yon."

Meanwhile Bess had whisperingly inquired of Joe what chances tho mother had of escape. "God help her—none!" he answered. "She was wild with fear when she ran from the wagon, and she would grow wilder. Before morning came she was a maniac, but I doubt if she lived to see another day." "Indians?" gasped Bess. "No—wolves. At that distance from the mountains a man loaded down with firearms could hardly have kept them £ff all night.' Encourage the girl all m^tn, 7oar

own

lion that slio will ever see her mother again." As the pair stood together apart Harkins observed them with a start aud whispered to himself: "Well, well, but 1 do really believe that my Bess has taken a liking to that chapl How queerl"

He might more truthfully have said, "How uatural," aud he might have used the word "love" for "liking." And when the man looked upon the sweet face of the orphan he had so gallantly rescued at the peril of his life, and felt his heart beating faster, ho might have discovered another queer thing—that somebody else had "taken a liking."

The captain had given the men to understand that ho was prospecting up tho canyon for gold, but had said nothing of tho discoveries made. When dinner was finished and tho trio were ready to return he renewed his caution about keeping a steady lookout for danger, and ordered that no one was to leave camp on any pretext till his return. Then the three set out for tho scene of their labors and began work immediately upon their arrival. They had no fear of their tire being seen or their blows overheard, and u..n who work to solve a mystery do not tiro.

After three hours of hard work the crowbars secured such a grip on the stone that it moved. One united effort would heave it out of the opening. It was then that the captain stepped back and sat down and said: "Let us take a breathing spell now, and let us prepare ourselves to bo disappointed." "What do you think is behind tho stone?" asked Joe. "A cavo of some sort." "And what shall we find in the cave?" asked Harkins. "The shriveled bodies of dead Aztecs. That lost race always buried their dead in caves, and when the place would hold no more it was walled up. I have helped to open tliree or four." "But why go to all this trouble to open a cave of bone and dust?" petulantly queried Harkins. "As the Indian of today places the property of the dead warrior beside him that he may have an outfit in the happy land beyond, so the Aztecs placed the wealth of their dead beside them in these caves. 1 have seen many ornaments of gold and silver which came from such caves." "Then let us to work!" exclaimed Joe as he seized bar. "We shall find a cave of dead if not a cavo of gold," added Harkins.

Iho bars were inserted on tho left hand side of the stone, each man drew a long breath and at the word each threw his weight on his lever. The stone trembled, moved forward, hung a moment and then fell to the earth with a heavy thud, and au opening appeared into which a horse could almost have walked.

CHAPTER SX1-

And how fared the renegades? The girl Lizzie had been cut loose from the tree to which she was bound within thirty feet of them so carefully that Harkins had her a quarter of a mile away before she was missed. A rush and a search was made, and no one questioned that she had got off alone. They consoled themselves with the thought that the wild beasts would have her life before morning, and when Bob strolled down the valley it was with the expectation of finding some evidence of her death.

Well it was for the girl and the wagoumen that Taylor had been kept in ignoronce of her rescue and arrival. Had the renegades known she was in camp they would have shed blood to recapture her. Having no suspicion that she had been seen or heard of, they had no particular animosity against the gold huntera When Taylor, burning for revenge, wanted to head a raid to steal the horses or attack the camp, Bob met him with the reply: "They drove you out, and I reckon they did right, but we don't propose to burn our fingers to help you git back at 'em. Wfi cum yere fur that gold, and the fust hard work we do will be to look for it. If we don't trouble that gang they won't trouble us."

Taylor bad to be satisfied with that. His standing among them was not j)leasant. His excuses and explanations did not go down. He was looked upon as a traitor who had received his just deserts, and he very soon realized that he was being endured for the sake of what ho might know about the cave of gold. This knowledge imbittered him, and the hour he rode by the camp hidden in the wagon he gritted his teeth and whispered to himself: "These outlaws want mo to help find the gold, but what will happen then? They won't stickle to shoot me down like a dog. They have no notion of dividing with me. They own the team and will have all to say."

And then he took an oath that if he saw the first sign of treachery in his new found friends every man of them should die bv his hand. It was no idle oath. He had a terrible weapon in Btore for an emergeucy.

The outlaw party reached the canyon below tho peak without incident and tho wagon was pulled well out of sight of any one passing up and down the valley, and the camp was pitched with a view to defense. They were men who knew the perils of tho Indian country and wero both brave and cautious. On the morning after their arrival Bob and Taylor set off up the canyon on an exploring expedition, and within an hour they had discovered the cave. Indeed, Taylor scarcely hesitated in walking directly to the ledge and pulling himself up.

The opening to the cave was large enough to admit tho body of an ox. To the left of it rested a large stone which had been cut to fit tho opening, but which had never been placed in position.

Saunders had said to the right of Custer's peak. He had been mistaken. Here was tho cave to tho left.

The men hesitated to enter tho opening, although provided with torches to dispel something of tho inky darkness. In spite of their wicked hearts, a feeling of awe and reverence held them spellbound for a time. By and by Bob shook It off sufficiently to say: "This is the placo. Thar can't be no doubt of it, for it's the location we both got from different men. I'm now a-won-dering what's inside."

Taylor thought this a fitting opportunity to decide a matter which had worried him not a little, and he said: "In case the gold is here do we five share and share alike?" "Sartinly," was Bob's prompt reply. "You go first and let's see if we hev cum on a wild goose chase."

Taylor knocked his torch against tho rocks to make it burn up more brightly, and holding it ahead of him passed into the opening, slowly followed by Bob. They found themselves in a rock lined room about twelve by sixteen feet in width and length, while the incline was from six to eight feet in height. Nature had made the cavo, but man had enlarged aud improved it.

For a moment tho men looked about them in wonder, and fearful that a grizzly or puma might be there to receive them. The place was untenanted, and Taylor moved to the right, throat his torch into the darkness and hoarsely exclaimed: "We've hit it—we'Whit itl Here is the gold!" jf

well. It was in crude lumps and pigs, each a heavy weight for a man. And there wero crosses and spearheads and anklets and bracelets, all rudely fashioned from the precious metals. Bob did not trust himself to say a word until he had lifted half a dozen of tho pigs and cut away at Gome of tho smaller articles with his knife. Then ho said: "Thar's uo room fur doubt! It's treasure!" "And it is share and sharo alike, rememberl" cautioned Taylor. "Of—of course," stammered Bob.

Avarice, doubt, selfishness, thoughts of murder were creeping in before the discovery was ten minutes old. "The fool—to expect us to divide with him I" growled Bob to himself. "Let 'em lookoutl 1 may tako all!" hissed Taylor as he held up a lump of gold.

Who had placed that treasuro there? Men of the race who peopled the west before Columbus landed! The ores had been reduced and metal turned out in crude form, but the wealth was there. When assayed at tho Denver mint later on its purity was a source of wonder. Why should the treasure have been left? may be asked. Who can tell when and why the At zees went? The ruins of their cities aro found all over tho west, but tho race disappeared off the face of the earth before tho Pilgrim fathers touched theso shores. "Bring along a chunk to show to the boys," said Bob, and each selected a specimen and made haste down the canyon.

The discovery was hailed with delight by the three outlaws left on guard, and plans were immediately made and discussed for loading up the stuff and getting out of the valley. In the making of these plans Taylor seemed to be entirely ignored, and when he put in his boast of finding tho cave Bob took occar sion to remark "We didn't need yer help in tho least, 'cause we had the bearings all O. K., but it was white in you to offer yer services, an wo hain't the men to forget it." "But I'm to have my fifth of course!" hotly exclaimed Taylor.

The men looked at each other without replying, but presently ho was ordered to stand guard at the wagon while they went up together to bring down the first load of treasure. "They think Riey have caught a fool!" hissed Taylor as ho looked after them, "but they are mistaken. They are playing with a tiger 1"

Only two ways to run a business—a right and a wrong way—years of success, of progress, cjnvinees us that this is the right way. Every department manager lias his orders, every salesman and saleslady will be alert, every price is a tra.le winner.

"Make flay While the Sun Shines." Is a maxim to be applied with peculiar force to the dry goods business. But "hay making" time is passed— now is Clearing Out time—and for the balance of the season 15 per cent, 20 per cent, 25 per cent and even 50 per cent will drop from the prices of every article in all our departments. Our patrons will buy cheaply. Our stock will be reduced. The object desiredturning merchandise into cash—will be accomplished.
