Lyon Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.: I wish to congratulate you in being in possession of such a grand medicine as LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. I was in rcry poor health for a loag time, could eat no solid food, and scarcely anything else had no appetite, but a continued distress in my stomach, ami was very poor in flesh. Your remedy being recommended by one who had tried them, I got a box of same, and can cheerfully and gladly say, after using them, the distress in my stomach entirely ceased, Hiy appetite increased wonderfully, and I gained in flesh very perceptibly. I am a lady seventy-four years of age, and can say that LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS have given me anew lease on life. I feel grateful toward you and your remedy. It does more than you claim for it, and no words of praise can do it justice.

Gratefully yours, MRS. CYNTHIA RANSOM.

CHAPTER

The ark of the mining interests, which had drifted about unsteadily after the break in bonanza stocks in the summer of 1877, had rested a year or two later in a lofty valley of Colorado, not far from tho summit of that great "divide" wlifcii parts the waters of the continent. It rented doubtfully, awaiting the olive leu£ of' eastern capital. Through the agency of those uncertain doves of promise, the promoter of mining schemes and the investor in the same, tho olive leaf was found, and before the snows had blocked the mountain passes the gay, storm beleaguered camp, in the words of its exhibit cry press. Dega.11 to "Doom-

The snows of that bleak altitude gwe their first warning while tho September cun is still strongs By November they may be said to prevail. Bat no disheartening combination of bad weather, worse roaus and worst accommodations at the journey's end could deter the pioneers from bearing a city into the unfriendliest spot where such exotic growth ever flourished. Their movement had the absolute conviction, tho devotedness, of a crusade. They pressed onward, across the Great South park, following its white wagon trails which rise and sink with the long swells of that arehse-an S6ci, pausing in the dreary valley at the foot of the pass, which shelters the caravansarylike town of Fairplay, struggling upward in the cold light of early morning along the mountain sides, resting again at the last stago station above the timber line, where the tough fir forests bend and fail and finally give up altogether the ascent of those bare slopes, ever whitening, to the pitiless region of lasting snow 011 again into the strenuous air of the submits, following the pass as it staggers through the wild canyons dizzily winding by weary grades down to the desolate land of promise.

Foremosfe in the strange procession were seen those wandering I.slimaelite families whose sun darkened faces peer from the curtains of their tents on wheels, along every road which projects the frontier further into the wilderness.

The,discontent and the despair of older mining camps in their decadence hastened to mingle their bitterness in the baptismal cup of tho new one. It exhibited in its earliest youth every'symptom of humanity in its decline. The restless elements of the eastern cities the disappointed, the reckless, the .men with failures to wipe out, with Kisses to referievo or to forget, the men of whom due knows not what to expect, were there, but as its practical needs increased and multiplied, and its ability to pay for what it required**became manifest, the new settlement began to attract a tafer population.

Even the hopes of the gold seeker most be fed* and clethed at an altitude wliich acts like the law of natural selection on those who aspire to breathe its thin air, sparing only the sound of heart and lung, and fanning the nerve fires into breathless, wtlsteful energy. The producer answered the call Of the consumer. Men of all trades followed the miner. The professions followed tke trades, and were represented generally by men in their youth.

It was perhaps this 'immense, though undisciplined, force of sanguine yo*uth which saved the city. The dangerous elements of the camp—the mud, the weeds and the driftwood which would have choked a more sluggish current— were floated and swept onjvard by its strong tide. The new board sidewalks sesounded to tke clean step of many an indomitable, bright faeed boy, cadet of some good easterli family, and neophyte in the business of earning a living, with a joyous belief in his own abilities and a clean repord to imperil in proving therh. ihe older *nen, who had come with a slighty shaken faith in themselves, looked half oo&ipassionately, ha'lf enviously a* these knights of tho virgin, shield.

It is-said that tire first woman of the eainp crossed the range on foot with her husband, a German miner, and helped Iran set up the "poor Lar" of their pine board shanty during the early SHOWS of ike first autumn. Bqt those accumulated snows w6re wasting under the Ma? gtfn, and the pass, where they still lay deep, oould be traced ftom a long way off—ra line of white crossing the purple summit «f the range—before the steady migration of wives and children began.

It was a grim sort of nest building that went on, irith discordant chorus of hiammer and saw, through the spring aod summer and late into the fall of the second year, but whatever its subsequent t&wobles may have been there ^was a greatt show of domestic felicity in the at this period. Every incoming renewed the bridals of some long •eparated couple. Each man who could pet &nd for his own wife sympathized, With boyish gayety, in the regeneration of Lis more fortunate comrade. The sftop windows moderated their display of velvejfe riding habits, embroidered siBs stockings '£pd pink silk peignoirs trimmed with, oaacades of imitation

Each night, as the constellations mounted guard above tho pass, a redder galaxy lit the dark encampnfeut of hills, where lonely campfires, outposts of the settlement far up the wooded slopes, signaled tire lights from the actiye mines or the flaring beacons of smelting furnaces in the gulch. Two of these distant human lights, shining on the opposite slopes of a ftr lined eanyon, which divided them like a river of darkness, had a neighborly look of sympathy in f-.heir isolation. The fix- darkened canyon was called Led Horse gulch. The lights which beckoned to each other aeross it shone from tho shafthorisp.* of the Led Horse a \d Shoshone mines, between which, it was said, there was open suspicion on the one side asxl bad faith on the other.

CHAPTER II.

One August morning of the cool, auI tnmnal summer, a lavly, ycraagcr than the youngest of tho youthful wives of the camp, whoso pure, tKisunnod eomple^ion proved her but lately arrived, rode down into Led Horse gulch from the Shoshone side, aud following the

I

trail upward among the aspens drew rein at the mouth of a small shaft where two men were working a windlass. I

She wore no habit. The plaited skirt of her cloth walking dress permitted her stirrup foot to show, and a wide brimmed straw hat shaded flie heightened bloom inker cheek. There was an unpremeditatiou in her dress and in the I vagrant gait ef her-pony whkii might have accounted for this aimless halt at the top of the shaft. I She watched, with idie interest, the 1 taut, wavering rope as it coiled on the windlass. The men were hoisting a loaded bucket She appeared indifferent to their respectfully curious glances. They were classified in her mind as part of ti:o novel human machinery of the place.

She had a dimly appreciative eye for the fine curves of their powerful backs as they leaned and recovered with the circling cranks that creaked with their weight. Otherwise they were not present to her consciousness. From her saddle she could not look far down into the dark hole and see the bucket, just visible one moment, then enlarging rapidly with the shortening rope. Nor could slie perceive that it was loaded, Hot with precious ores, but with a bulk of that common human clay of which we are all but metamorphic variations. She was, in fact, less interested*dn the tiling coming"' up than in the curiously fatalistic maimer of its coming. Tke wavering rope described a shorter and shorter circle its vibration's ended with a sharp shudder a few more, slower turns df the^crank, and the man had arrived at the surface. fc^vingmg himself, with a practiced motion, from tke bucket te a seat on the collar of the sluaft, he looked across at tiie young girl with undisguised admiration. The look recalled her at onee from the vague, impersonal mood, of her ride.

The mea at the cranks let the bucket down with a run, straightened their backs and wiped their dsmvp foreheads and necks.

The unembarrassed youth who rose to his feet, faking oft' his hat with a bright, interrogative smile, was also a part of the lnman machinery of the place, but his part in relation tb the miners at the cranks was that of the throttle valye rather than the driving wheels.

The girl acknowledged his salute by a hot blush arid the siigntest of bows as she turned her horse's head sliarply away from the shaft. Her position in the face of this new element had become untenable, and she abandoned it frankly, making no attempt to explain the unesplainable. It was not her custom (•so she indignantly apostrophised her girl'sjfrounded dignity) to beVidang about the easfp alone and waiting at prospect holes for handsome yocng men to be hoisted out of theip! It was an incongruous accident of that incongruous place 1

She had, even with lier. small knowledge of young men, pereeived this one's quality in his faoe and manner, but she suffered from the youthful cenviofcion that her own personality must remain inevitably a| the mercy of the moment's accidental disguise.

Guiding her horse confusedly over the broken ground,' she was startled by a peremptory shout f*om behind her: "Look eat there, Abramsl Tke old shaft!"

A mine* coming up the hili, warsed by the shout, promptly caughjfc her horse's brrole and forced him baok from a sunken apace of fresh earth and stones.

The young man wfib had given the timely dirder was BOW.at her side. He picked up ber wljip. The hat he lifted as he offered it was a, very bad one, but the head it did its best, to disfigure might harve been modeled for the head of a young Jaaon at the time ftis personjd appearance did llim snch good service at the court of King J9£ctes "in another BOOOOA yon would h»ve been thrown. This is an old prospect hoi© filled with loose earth. Yotir hor& would have sunk in it to his knees," ho protested in answer to her look of vexod surprise. "I wonder my brother permits such a trap to be unco vetted,'" the jgjrl said, with the einphaais of one who finds unexpected relief in another's responsibility for an awkward situation. "I have not the pleasure at knowing TOUT brother—'but the Led Horse, I Believe, has only one superintendent"— he tpok off his hat agajii wfth a gayly ironiotil tyaw—"who is at your -service, if you will please to command him." "Am I not on Shoshone ground?" The question was half an assertion. 'I think not /The location atkkes follow the gnleh ailittle on this aide of H.

at ner own discomfiture, when it"had reached this point. She hoped the superintendent of the Led Horse would pardon her for trespassing and for criticising his management.

The superintendent of the Led Horse gallantly replied that I10 could not allow her to call her visit a trespass, and if she liked to ride over his prospout holes he would have them all boarded over in that hope.

She made no reply to this somewhat derisive suggestion, and her host of tho Led Horse kept tlio silence penitently as he walked at her side through the flickering aspens.

When they had crossed the gulch, he assured her that she was now unmistakably 011 Shoshone ground, and they parted, with a slightly exaggerated gravity on both sides.

He watched her climbing the hill among tho pine intnks th::t rose vigiuly above the fringe of "qr.rik-ir.g a .pens. Her light figure bent and swayed with her hoiycV ::tro :vy nnward stvides. On

Had Hilgard been born 10 or lo years sooner lie might have won more honor in the camps and fields of tho civil war than lie was ii] .eiy to pi hi in mining camps. He would have been the idol of .'lis men, the life of his niejs, a leader of forlorn hopes and desperate charges. His rich blooded beauty would have wrung the hearts of susceptible maidens, marking him in the ranks of those about to die, when tie regiments for the front marched by iu farewell pomp. Like the plume of Navarre, it would have blazed in the thickest of the fight and would have been quenched perhaps on one of those reefs of the dead, which showed, after the battle, where the wildest shocks of assault had met the sternest resistance. It wouid have marked him a vietim without blemish, fit for the sacrifice.

But in the less heroic time in which his lot was cast, and in a crude community of ti-anspianted lives, adjusting themselves to hew conditions, Hilgard's excess of good looks was a positive inconvenience. Tho camp, at that period of its existence, took more thought for its roots than its blossoms. Hilgard's

He too*1 off Ms hat again with a gayly ironical bow. eplendid efflorescence was looked upon with a certain suspicion by the sturdy, masculine growths around him. Ugly men who relied upon their fruits and felt that nature had disguised 'them were net likely to epjoy it. Men with a small personal vanity of fkeir own resented it as a form of insolenee in their fellow man. It attracted all the baleful types of womanhood, while many of the feminine bulwarks of respectability in the camp,, regarded it askance as an apotheosis of the physical life. Not a few of these ladies, especially those whose own personal attraetioiis were not conspicuous, honestly doubted if the virtues of faithfulness and self denial oould. be found in conjunction with a lively eye beam, a short upper lip, a head easily erect above a pair of powerful shoulders and an exuberance of color and movement expressive of much unused vitality. Whatever general foundation there may be for such a prejudioe the picturesque theories current in the camp, »econciling it in Hilgard's case with his isolated life and obvious indifference to the sociarallurements around him, were far from the wrosaio truth.

ELilsard's life wis as simple and severe in its routine as-if nature had clothed his soul in sackcloth instead Of purple. It had one immediate object—the prosperity of the Led Horse—to which be considered hlmsdlf pledged. There was another object, more remote, but mors vital ind permanent—the education of his t*wo haJf brothers*—young ltfds left to-his,sole ears by tho "&eath of both father and mother. Hilgarcl's 6wn education had been at" the n^ercy of the s^d breaks in the lives-oftthose who watched o^er it.

A fragment of a Scotch song, kaag sir lent in his memory, woke suddenly, like the first bluebird's note in spring.
