ASTlIAMiE JOLKNEY.
By CHARLES B. LEWIS iM. QUAD).
(.Copyright, IHH3. by Charles it. Lewis.] I liked John Drew from the first time I saw him. He was then a man about 40 years old. had a handsome wife ami a child 2 years old and was a private banker in a town not far from the capital of New Mexico. As secretary and Treasurer of a large freighting company
and fro. Tile Horse was nuenea to a light wagon, and its I got up I noticed that the vehicle contained quite a load
of packages and bundles.
Darkness was coming on, and the streets of the town were pretty well de- | sorted, and in getting out we did not pass any one who saluted us. For the first i half hour of our journey the demeanor of [ the banker puzzled me. I was about to ; offer to give up the trip, thinking he was ! worrying over business matters, when he ! seemed to come to himself again and was | soon as chatty and enthusiastic as I had
l^siness dealings with Mr. Drew ever found him. We had talked about continued for over two years, going north to reach the mountains. Ho igli conducting a private institu-, had taken the road to the west from the nis bank was considered as safe as start, and after getting out about 10 n the country, and during a busi-1 miles he explained that a friend had ad-

made hosts of friends and considerable money. In the two years there was hardly a day I didn’t meet him, and after the first three months 1 was often a visitor
at his home.
I was a young man, just making my start in life, and I took John Drew for an example and guide. If any man had told me that he had a dishonest hair in his head or could do a wrong, that man
vised the change that we might get better fishing. He said we were to drive a good jKirtit m of the night, as it xvas starlight and we had a fair trail, and it was a good four hours before we pulled up to give the horse half an hour's rest. The banker said ho would go on about 15 miles farther, and it was at ids suggestion and after he had arranged tilings in the wagon that I turned in to sleep during the remainder of the drive. Sleep I did, though the road was rough in places, not 1
did I open my eyes till sunrise. “Well, here we are,” said the banker
as I climbed down from the vehicle. “I i am just starting a fire, and you may
| turn to and help get breakfast.” We were in a thicket, with a range of
I mountains to the east and a river to the : west. The river was at our feet, but the mountains were two or three miles away. The harness hung on a limb of a tree. but the horses i could not see. I expressed surprise at his selecting such a camping spot, and the banker replied that it was only a halt for breakfast. I now saw the contents of the wagon for the first time by daylight, and there was cause for wonder. There were two blankets, two baskets of food and two rifles, but no tent and no fishing outfit,

He took baskets and blankets, and we set off for the mountains. In Ids cunning he ordered me to take the lead. We kept down the bank of the river, which was the upper Rio Grande, for several mile* and then crossed a narrow vallf'y and reached the mountain chain which extends from the

for the banker was returned. It is rare that a man of 40 and a hoy of 20 strike np a close friendship, but it was true of ns. He gave me the advice a father would, and his friendship and interest were so marked as to at tract general attention and prove of the greatest benefit i.me in a social and financial way. July of the third year Mrs. Drew an a the child went east, to lie gone for a couple of months. Within a few days thereafter the hanker began talking to mJ about taking a fortnight's vacation. Even before opening the subject to me he bad gone to my employers and suggested the idea, and a u I had not lost a
coffeepot. I couldn’t see how we were to make ourselves comfortable for two weeks with such a meager outfit, but asked no questions, and Mr. Drew vol-
unteered no information.
There was one more article in the wagon. It was a large, old fashioned satchel, and it was full to bursting and had two straps buckled around it so that it could be carried as a knapsack. The banker had greeted me pleasantly enough, but his demeanor soon changed, and I couldn’t tell what to make of him. We ate our breakfast in silence, but then I made bold to ask him if I had in any manner given offense or if trouble had come

he continued:

As we halted to get a bite to eat, Mr. Drew spoke for the first time since leaving the other camp. I had led the way and selected the route, and he had followed like a dog at my heels. After I had lighted a fire and got tho coff ee on
he said:
“We are good friends, and let us have no more of this. Let us laugh and be jolly as we go along. You can leave me if you wish, but I know you wouldn’f do such a mean thing. Shall we sulk or
bo merry?”
Long before this I was satisfied of his insanity and had partly made up my mind what course to pursue. I answered him promptly ami pleasantly, without reference as to what had passed, and wo were soon chatting away in the friendliest spirit. There was no heartiness in bis laughter, however, and I could not help but murk tie sly and crafty look on his face. That afternoon tho way was very rough and the weather hot, and at 5 o'clock I told the banker I could
go no further.
He had by far the heaviest load, but was continually urging mo onward. I estimated the distance front our first camp at 20 miles, and during the day we had not eucountere I a soul. He reluctantly consented to camp fur tho night, and after supper he grew quite jolly and friendly. He said lie was sorry to have deceived me, but now that we had got safe away from pursuit I might return to town, though I must promise not to toll where I left him. Sane or insane, he knew that we were 50 or 00 miles from town, in a portion of the country Strange to me, and that 1 would not dure the chances. Had 1 started off. he would probably have shot me down. That night before I slept 1 planned

that the town lay to the nortluu. t an also that he did not know its dincth :i If I bad tho lead. I would gradually turn to the northeast, and if he failed to suspect me I would pilot him home in about three days. The idea had full possession of me next morning when we were ready to set out, but what did the cunning rascal do but take the lead himself and hold to the south! He also took charge of my rifle, and all I could do was to follow in his footsteps, On this day we reached the crestof the range and probably traveled 15 miles, and our demeanor toward each other was that of friends. When night came again, I determined on another plan, and the first signs of daylight saw me putting it in practice. Mr. Drew had used the satchel for a pillow, but Ids head had slipped off, and he was sleeping soundly. I made up a package of meat and bread from the baskets, got hold of my rifle and the satchel and then cautiously withdrew from thecatnp. I figured that as soon as he missed mo he would go Imck over our trail, and so I heeded to toe ee* 1 *'. to o»**.-'-*.r»d .1'“ Taug" 1 on that face. I could not have been above half a mile from camp when 1 heard him yelling, and thinking he was on my trail I looked around for cover. On my left was a mass of rock, and a few feet up was an opening. It was not large enough to shelter me, but l crowded the satchel into it and then set off in a I wild flight which lusted for miles. It was night when I got down among the foothills, and 1 had seen nothing of
