THAT old blatherskite, Jason B. Urown. has been defeated for renomination for Congress in the Third district by S. M. Stoclclager. Democrats every now and then do something- which can be set down to their credit. Brown is about as offensive a personage as Green Smith.

THE outcome of the sugar investig-a to in S at is in two reporters who are not even suspected of any complicity in the rascality under investigation. llavermeyer. the head of the Trust, declined to answer questions put to him by the committee, but he goes scot free. That was a queer investigation.

TIIK world do move. Old John Brown is to have a monument. The memorial will be erected on the site of the old John Brown fort at Harper's l-'erry. The design of the monument has not yet been decided upon, but it will probably be a monolith with a suitable base inscription, and will cost in the neighborhood of SCiO.OQO.

WITH the object of striking a blo»v at those professional agitators who are the curse and bane of every trade and labor union, the French legislature has just passed a measure providing that no person shall be permitted to remain a member of a labor organization who has not worked regularly at his trade for three years. It remains to be seen how this statute will operate, and to what extent it can be carried into effect.

TIIK bill for the admission of Utah as a State has passed both houses of Congress and now awaits the president's signature. The bill provides that the right shall be reserved to Congress to regulate the peculiar institution of polygamy, which removes a serious objection to the Territory becoming a State. United States Senators are not to lie elected until ls'JG. This was done probably for tlie reason that the present Democratic majority in Congress feared that two Republicans would be elected

After the men had quit his employ they demanded tliey should be re-employed, and at increased wages. This he declined.

has a law requiring

"the publication of a statement of election expenses. It seems that the cost in the State of the national election in '"."IJBK! was over $5)10,000. and that a number of candidates contributed from ....S7,uoo to Sltt.OOO each. According to the returns $85,000 was spent in torchlight processions, $50,000 for naturalization of voters, and 830.0n0 for car: iC'Yiage hire. A law passed this year will prevent any further expenditure in Massachusetts for the naturalization of voters. From these figures in one State the aggregate cost of a Presidential campain in all the States may be figured up.

DIKING the first fiscal year of llarri son's administration the national debt was diminished by the amount of 8114,540.000 largely through the purchase and retirement of bonds, and the annual interest burden was reduced by 84.334,751. During the first fiscal year of tlie Cleveland administration, ending June 30, the bonded debt has been increased by $50,000,000, the annual interest burden has been increased by S2,500,000, and a deficit of 870,000,000 created. Tlie obligations of the government have thus been increased by §120,000,000, which the people will have to pay—with the prospect of a considerable addition to the deficit within the next six months.

THE Commissioner of Pensions lias issued the following order, regulating the adjudication of pension cases: "Order 200 is hereby amended to this extent that in all certified cases, except those in which actual fraud has been shown, no investigation is deemed necessary, nor need these cases be disturbed. All such cases now on file or n\ireparation to be filed for no other purpose than general inquiry, will be returned at once to the admitted files. In pending claims, where it is shown that the declaration must be filed, and the pension, if allowed, will begin from the date of filing the formal declaration.

CHAPTER XXII.

"Phew! But we have struck a cave of the dead!" exclaimed Joe, who was nearest the opening as the stone fell out.

A rank, musty odor issued from the cave and drove the three men down the

canyon a distance of a hundred feet and kept them sneezing and coughing for a quarter of an hour. During this time the captain prepared a couple of torches, and by and by they advanced to find the odor no longer perceptible. The captain pushed his torch into the dark opening for a look at the interior of the cave, and after a moment he drew back and said: "We have got a find here, but there will be some disagreeable work about it. The cavo is heaped with bodies of the dead."

The others looked in to find that his words were true. It was a chamber sixteen or eighteen feet square and ten or twelve feet high, and it was solidly packed with a grayish mass. That mass was the shriveled and mummified bodies of the lost race—dead men, women and children who had been laid away for perhaps two or three centuries. "Well, we have had our labor for our pains," said Harkins as he stepped back. "And we don't want to discover any more caves," added Joe with a tinge of bitterness. "If they followed the rule in burying these dead we shall find a fortune in here," said the captain as he braced his torch against a rock. "Let's see what 1 can discover."

He entered the opening, thrust his hand into the mass of dust, worked it about for a moment, and then backed out holding in his fingers an anklet weighing at least four ounces. He rubbed the metal briskly on his sleeve, and lo! the shine of gold caught every eye! "Worth at least seventy-five dollars," said the captain as he held it up, "and there ought to be bushels of them in there. Take it with you to camp and give 'em the news, and send up two of the men with shovels. Everything in there has got to be thrown out."

So will it be a century hence. The dust of those who live today will be treated as earthly clay in the search for wealth.

At the end of the third day there was a council of the wagoumen. The cave had yielded an amount beyond the wildest guess. It had been cleared of the last shovel of dust, and every ornament and relic had been carried to tho camp. Kiu-h member of the party would have thousands of dollars, and the council

waB called to determine what next step the canyon!

should bo taken. The unanimous decision was that the party should make its way back to civilization as soon as possible.

Since the Indians passed down the valley not a redskin had been seen, and it was hoped the way out was safe and clear. It was a long and dangerous journey across the plains, but if attacked the little band must make the best defense possible. It was a peril that must bo encountered in any event, and there was just a chance that the train might be left unmolested. The men were feeling exultant over their good luck and the hope of a safe jour-

Worth at least seventy-Jive dollars." ney when the lookout at the mouth of the canyon, whose services had never for a moment been dispensed with, sent an alarm into camp that something was wrong.

In five minutes every man was at tho barricade or wall. Opposite the mouth of the canyon, across the narrow valley, was a fine spring. A single Indian had come galloping up to dismount, but five minutes later a band of at least forty arrived and prepared to camp. The ponies re unsaddled, two or three fires khk A, and it was evident the redskins had gone into camp for the night The captain, Joe and two or three other plainsmen drew aside for consultation,' but it was a brief one.

tliov may oveiiooic us, MUM UIO cir'.itv.ti. "The horses must bo led as far up the canyon ns wo can get them, the fire put out and no man uiust close his eyes tonights"

The horses were at once led away, the I fire smothered, and a quarter of an hour after tlio Indians arrived the canvou was plunged in midnight darkness and seemed to contain no living thing. The white covers had been removed from the wagons and carried up the rift, and one standing twenty feet away could not distinguish the vehicles, joe and

Harkins were ordered to remain with the wagons as protection to the girls, while the others took places along the embankment, and thus the night came on.

The Indians were on the warpath, but they seeuied to have not the slightest suspicion of the presence of the train. They could plainly be heard singing, laughing and talking, and a few of them acted as if they were hilarious with whisky. "All we've got to do is to keep quiet," whispered one of the men to the captain. "I don't know. Those Indians are too much off their guard. They are 'acting a part. I think they have some plan in their heads. If some of them are not crawling this way before midnight I shall be greatly mistaken."

At ten o'clock the campfires of the Indians had burned low and all was quiet on that side of the valley. T'ue men in the mouth of the canyou crouched behind rocks and logs, and the darkness was so dense that the keenest pair of eyes could not see a yard distant. One looking over the barrier into the valley could see a hundred feet quite distinctly, aa the night was starlight and the trees cast no shadow there.

Eleven o'clock found everything quiet. A quarter of an hour later, as the captain raised his head for a keen look around him, it seemed to him that the darkness of earth was blackened at a spot not over fifty feet away. A spot of black paint or an inkstand stands out in relief. A human figure dressed in black will stand out in relief against the gloom of midnight.

Was he mistaken? Did the object move? Was there an object to begin with? Ho touched the man nearest him on the shoulder and whispered his suspicions. After a steady look the man returned tlio whisper with: "It's an infernal redskin creeping up to make sure that we are still herel It's a part of tho same band wo saw four days ago, and they suspect we are hidden away in some of the canyons! "Pass the word to every man to lie low for his life and make no move until he gets the wordl That fellow will come right in among us."

CHAPTER XXIH

tlio nit mat no cannot seo ins hum! when held at arm's length. Instinct guides him. A rock lies in his path, lie knows this before he sees it. Ho creeps up and carefully passes his hand over it If the white men came in thero with their wagons they might have moved tho stone.

No, they did not. He creeps to another and another. They have not been disturbed. He sniffs at tho air. If there was the least fire he would discover it. He lies with his ear to tho ground. Tiie

stamp o! a horse half a mile away would have been detected. Creep! Creep! Creep!

Now he is within 6isty feet of the wagons, now it is fifty, now forty. Tho. slightest cough—a sleeper's change of position, a woman's sighing as she dreamed—would reach his ear. Ho heard nothing. Not a stone has been disturbed—not a wheel print r\n lie find as he passes. For ten long minutes the red man listens with ears strained to catch the slightest sound.

Silence—nothing but silence. Now he is satisfied. He rises to his feet and walks back to the barricade, turns to the left and holds straight for the camp on the opposite side without a pause. He is satisfied at last. He finds every warrior awake and alert for an alarm. In a fow words ho makes his report to the chief, and in ten minutes more the band is flitting down the valley so quietly that their departure is not suspected.

Morning comes and tho men in the canyon are filled with astonishment and satisfaction. They could not know what tho scout would report, and not an eye had closed in sleep during the night. "Now for breakfast and then we will be off," said the captain after satisfying himself that the enemy had departed.

An hour later every wagon was ready to move and the train passed down the valley a couple of miles, crossed oyer into the smaller valley in which Taylor had encamped the day ho was driven out, and I leave them for a time, as they push ahead to find a route through the foothills to the plains.

CHAPTER XXIV.

Three days after discovering the cavo of gold the outlaw band was ready to break camp and head for civilization. The contents of the cave had been weighed and estimated, and the sum in dollars and cents was beyond their wildest expectations. The precious metal was stored in the bottom of the wagon and every one felt exultant and good natured.

Every man but Taylor. Ho could not fail to notice that he was regarded as an interloper. From the honr of finding the cave the renegades made every effort to render his position so disagreeable that he would take his departure, but he refused to go. Ho was a determined and persistent man, and had they known him better they would have held I him in fear instead of contempt. lie had smothered his auger and affected not to hear the remarks Hung out for his 1 benefit, and lie had worked as hard as any ono in bringing down and storing away the gold.

On the evening before they were to leave Taylor determined to settlo matters one way or the other, and he took opportunity to ask: "Has it been decided yet which route we are to take?" "Certainly," replied Bob. "Which is it?" "Look yere, stranger," exclaimed Bob, as he fired up, "has any of this crowd axed fur your advice?" "1 haven't pretended to advise. As one of the party, and as having a fifth

lie rises lo his feet.

There are times when the tiger is off his guard. There is never an hour when the Indian of the plains is free from suspicion. In his waking hours each rock or tree or hillock may conceal an enemy. When he sleeps it is to waken at the croak of a frog or tho chirp of a cricket, suspicious that tlie sounds wero made by enemies closing in upon him.

The Indian is a hypocrite and a dissembler. If 'no suspects that an enemy is hidden in a strong position he will pass it carelessly by to return by stealth and wait and watch.

Three or four days had passed since the Indian band disappeared down the valley, and it had seemingly gone away satisfied that the train had escaped. But the warriors were not satisfied They were mystified, but not satisfied. They had returned to play hypocrite and dissembler. They had gone into camp as part of the plan. They had waited for night—as another part of it.

White men would have advanced in a body toward the month of the canyon, or at least sent skirmishers forward to investigate. The Indian is a human cat. He creeps upon his prey—he wins by cunning and stealth. "Tell Joe to come down here!'' whispered the captrin to the man at his side after watching the seeming figure a few minutes longer.

The man quietly disappeared, and Joo was at the captain's elbow. "Do you see anything on the ground in line with my finger and perhaps two hundred feet away?'' asked tho captain. "I do," replied Joe after a minute. "An Indian is creeping along to turn tho end of the barricade and come into

Sure?" "I'll stake my life oil it!" Word was passed for every man to fall back to tho wagon, and after a brief consultation between the captain and Joe one took position to the right and the other to tho left of tho entrance, but fifty feet back. If the Indian scout penetrated thus far he must pass between them, and his retreat would be cut off.

Now came a silence so profound that it was positively painful. The grimness of midnight in a city is broken by footsteps—the barking of dogs—the whistle of a locomotive. On the open plains the chirp of crickets never ceases while darkness lasts, and that very sound litis kept lost men and women from going crazy under the great mental strain. The sound connected them with civilization and safety.

But in tlie grim and gloomy canyon there was no sound. The horses, which had been led to the extreme end, peered about them and shivered with fear. The men lying wn about the wagon felt a weight upo: them. If there were crickets in the grass they were silent

If man wrs/its to find a greater punishment for criminals than the dark cells of state prisons, let him turn to the canyon. No prisoner chained to a rock in the gloom and silence and darkness would keep his mind a week. Tho very silence would torture him until he would cry out to heaven for mercy, and the sound of his own voice would terrify him to insanity.

The captain anil Joe had not been deceived. It was an Indian creeping toward the mouth of the canyon.

Creep! Creep! Creep! So a tiger creeps up to within striking distance of a man. So a cat creepB to within striking distance of a bird. The sharpest ear could detect no sound. The shadows of evening could not have crept more noiselessly.

Now the human cat has reached the end of the barricade. Now he turns into ttjkinonUi |Lthe carwpn. Now he advances is so dark

interest in the treasure, I am naturally interested in knowing which route we are to travel by." "Wliar did you git an interest in this gold?" demanded Bob. "As one of tho discoverers." "Humph! Look yere, stranger, you want to go slow! You forced yourself into this crowd, and it's for us to say whether you stay or go. We don't want to turn a man out here to lose his ha'r, but if he talks too sassy he'll hev to go. When we get out o' this we may feel like remembering you fur the little you've done, and wo may not. We make no promises. Understand, however, that you have no claims on the treasure—not the slightest."

Taylor ground his teeth in rage. He had staked all and was likely to lose all. The thought maddened him, and had he not been a cool and calculating villain he would have forced a climax then and there, which must have cost him his life. He maintained silence for a few minutes, and then said: "Well, boys, I meant no harm, and 1 hope no one litis any hard feelings. You'd have found the cave without me, of course, and you own the team. I'm satisfied you will do the fair thing by me when we get through, and so let's say uo more about it." "That's sensible," replied Bob, and the matter was dropped.

Taylor wandered away from the camp a short distance, apparently to gather firewood, but really to give vent to his feelings by communing with himself. "Tho fools!" ho hissed when a.safe distance away. "Not one of them will ever leave the plains except that some ono carries his dead body away! They don't know me. They think I'm a cur to be kicked or petted at pleasure, but they are trifling with a demon. They think to beat mo out of my share, but I'll take all—every ounce!"

And as soon as he had left the fire the outlaws drew closer together and Bob said: "We'd better shoot him tonight as he sleeps. He's bound to trouble us." "No—wait," replied ono of the others. "Wo've got along pull before us, with plenty of redskins in the way. He's plucky and a good shot. When we don't need him any longer somebody's rifle can go off by accidcnt and we'll leave his bones for the wolves to pick."

It was settled that way, and when Taylor returned each of the men had a word for him, as if to show they held no grudge.

The night passed without alarm, and at the first sign of day all wero up and making ready for a start. When a hasty breakfast had been eaten and the team hitched up Taylor learned for the first time that the outlaws were going to attempt to push through to Fort Sully. They had canvassed the matter and concluded that this route would bo safest. The inpour of gold seekers was more from the west, and the Indians would naturally gather on that frontier. And by following the Cheyenne river they would be sure of wood, water and grass the entire journey.

Once started, the outlaws were for pushing ahead at a rapid pace, and by noon they had cleared the foothills and were on the open plains. During the day each one of the four made a special effort to bo pleasant to Taylor, but he was not to be hoodwinked by their hypocrisy. They had showed their hand in camp, and he was satisfied that he was to be counted out He felt, too, that they were hatching some plan to get rid of him before the journey was ended, and his chuckle was fiendish as his fingers lovingly caressed the bottle of poison he carried in his pocket

There was murder in every heart, but God's sun shone clear and bright over all as the party pressed forward to make the first day's distance as king as possi-

A STRANGE CASE. How an Enemy was Foiled.

Tho following graphic statement will be read with intense interest: "L cannot describe tho nu nib, creepy sonsatlon that existed in my arms, hands ana logs. 1 had to rub and beat those parts until thoy were sore, to overcome in a measure the dead feeling that had taken possession of them. In addition, I had a strange weakness in my back and around my waist, together with an Indoscrlbable 'cone' feeling in my stomach. Physicians said it was creeping paralysis, from which, according lo their universal conclusion, there is no relief. Once It fastens upon a person, they say, it continues its insidious progress until it reaches a vital point and tlie sufferer dies. Such was my prospect. I had beeu doctoring a year and a half steadily, but with no particular benefit, when I saw an advertisement of Or Miles' Restorative Nervine, procured a bottle and began using it. Marvelous as it may seem, but a fow days had passed before every bit of that creepy feeling had left me, and there has not been even the slightest indication of its return. I now feel as well as 1 ever did, and have gained ten pounds in weight, though 1 had run down from 170 to 1?I7. Four others have used Dr»

day, ami the outlaws wero in good spirits when ni^ht closed down and they went into camp on the banks of a rivulet carrying its waters toward the Cheyenne.

Wlien it came time to post sentries Taylor volunteered to t:iko the first watch. He wanted to be by himself, that he might think and plan, but his offer was brusquely refused and one of the outlaws posted. This was proof that they distrusted him, but he took no notice of the slight. When wrapped in his blanket he gritted his teeth with rage and whispered to himself: "One insult more or less does not count. I'U stand by to mock them when tliey writhe and thirst and scream out in their agony, and before they are dead they shall see me drive off with the treasure."

There was no alarm during the night, and before sundown tho next day the party reached the forks of the Cheyenne, where tho soldiers were in camp. Before entering the camp Bob cautioned each man to preserve the strictest secrcsy regarding their adventures and the contents of the wagon, and camp was made about a quarter of a mile from the tents of the soldiers.

The outlaws kept a sharp outlook on Taylor for awhile, as if fearful that he meant to betray them, but their suspicions did him injustipe. He had other plans, and they wero plans to be carried out after tho encampment had been left behind.

The outlaw leader was the only one who went into camp and reported, and when he returned he brought something with him which made Taylor's heart beat with delight. It was a two gallon jug of whisky which ho had purchased from a gold seeker's outfit stopping on the other side of the encampment for the night. "That perfects my plans!" he chuckled as Bob came in with tho jug, "and they are doomed men!"

Each outlaw was told to help himself, but Taylor was not invited. This was another slight, deliberately intended, and was a further proof that the quartet considered him an interloper. It was a long distance yet to Fort Sully, with danger menacing every mile of it, and but for this fact Taylor would have been driven out of camp. Five rifles were better than four in a brush with the redskins.

The outlaw party moved on to the east at an early honr next morning, and as the traveling was good and nothing occurred to interrupt their progress a full thirty miles was covered before sundown came and they went into camp on the bank of the river,

While Taylor was watering the horses Bob said to his companions: "Being as we are between the fort and that camp of soldiers, it don't stand to sense that we shall meet any hostiles. Tharfore let us git sliet of that feller tonight We'll draw lots to see who Bros a bullet into him as he sleeps,"

And later on, as Taylor sat by himself, he meditated: "I believe the route will bo safe from this on. I'll dose that jug within an hour, and before noon tomorrow I'll drive off and leave four corpses behind for the wolves!"
