Th Story of n Lonely GrY on th Mountin-SId.

The trnin on the Siiti Fe road, due n hour later Rt Pueblo, stopped at h Kay stntlon long enough for a soUUrj' pusaenRer to pet on. The pardon In question was a man past middle age. of medium stature, firmly and compactly built, who would not have attracted a second look, however, hut for the fact that his face was badly disfigured by a curious scar on hi9 ripht chuck, in hape exactly renctnbling a Greek cross. The new comer found a seat beside me. threw up the sash and became absorbed in the scenery along the road, his interest increasing as the train presently swept along a, pretty valley. Suddenly he turned half way round, touched my arm, and, pointing through the open window, said, very abruptly: "Say, stranger, do you see that pile o1 rocks yonder on the slope? Wall, that's HIlUs grave." The man1; action and speech startled tno a trifle, but I looked out and saw, as he had said, a pile of rocks on tk green slope of the hill. Yos," continued the man, "that's Bill's grave. Twenty-live years ago I put there stuae lhar myself, i'oor liill! pure gold ola'r through, an' I rock'n I orter knejw, for I know'd Hill from the gronallittp.'' Having dellfrjpfia this short speech tho man laptfelt fnte alienee, with a far-away, dreMay leek, m it recalling evonti long peat. Rvt his words had aroused my curlmlty, and at the risk of interrupting the stranger's reverie I finally ventured to ask: 'Who wajt BUI, sir, whose grave is yonder?" My companion gave a sudden start; then, recovering himself he answered: Didn't know Rill, eh ? Of course not, eeln' he was dead before ye was born dead twenty-five yean come June, "ill was ray ard, air. Bill was. A man to tlo to erery tine. Say, don't ye think ye'd .love a hap what 'ud be will!' Ver Jie for ye? lie wlllln', an' W?.'n att' too? 1 rftck''" "P" you moan to say your chum died for yoA,j" i m nowtlioroughi totH7.

Hill. "Glad to see hint, oh? Young man. ef ye'd socn old Mil an1 toe a hoggin', ye'd thought we was a couple o' b'ar for sure. "Hill had been tharabouts for several months an', said thar was no sliver signs about, an' so our party pulled up an' wont farther south, but I stayed with Will an' t'other chap to take a hand at trappln' beaver. The old tallow had a nice bit o1 a hut nigh a quiet valley, where thar was heaps o' beaver, an' as tha- was no redskins around we enjoyed Ourselves immensely. "Hut I didn't fancy Hill's companion, an' he didn't waste any loveon me either. Hill had picked him up on the border jest fir company, an'

took to him a bit becaino he seemed a

hervv. brave fellow. He was a haU-

breed Mexican, named Yumex, a smal!,

wiry fellow, with sallow cheeks, coalblack eyes and It hatchet face, and

craftv ways like a fox. At first he

showed his dislike of me plain enough,

but bv and by he became suddenly

verv friendly, which made it much

p!cHianU?r all 'round. "One day I went up the creek to ex'

amine the traps, leaving Hill and Yu-

mux mendinsr some of the old ones at

home. Having been gone about- an

hour I was gittin' ready to return.

when I heard the eraok o' a rlMe an'

bullet grased the tip o' my eardrawla'

a drop o' blood. "I reck'n I jump'd nigh a rod high, for it was a pooty clost call to climb the stairs, an' then I looked to see whar the infernal thing coma from. I seed a whip o' smoke hangin' over a clump o' bushes nigh the hill top that told me all I cared to know, an' grab-

bin' up my gun I made for home, under the shelter of the creek bank, at a 2:40 gait fearln' a second shot from the Injuns. "Nigh our hut I met Yumese, gun in hand, who said he had heard the shot an' started out to help mc if needed. It struck me as bein' cur'ous he could have heard the report over a mile away, behind the hill, an' tho wind bio win' half a gale in t'other direction, but o course there wan't nothin' to be said.

me at home, for I had been quite

seedy for several days with chills, which I never had afore or aence.

"Wall, after Hill left I got a royal

blirb'ar kln an' toted it out on the

graas in front o' the ht, an', spread in' it out. I Iny down, the hot rays o

the sun fdelln' very grateful to my chilled limb, an' bimoby I went oft sound ueleep. "After awhile I woke up with a start, feolin' half smothered, an' found myself on the bare ground with the big b'ar skin on top entirely coverin' me tt;v I ulo heard voioes an' felt that I wn? bein' held down by several pairs o' hand. I struggled as well as I could to throw off the b'ar skin, but found that I was really helpless, xny feet bain' caught in the itoose o' a stout lasso, "Very soon, howover, the skin was dragged off, and I saw several Injuns who foil upon me an' tied my hands in a jiffy, an' I found myself a fat

prisoner in the clutches o' a hall doaen redkln. "Hut this wasn't as discouraging as it was to dis

happened he was quite oneusy, an' we discussed the situation as to what should be done. Meantime Yum ox had hung his gun on the pogs and gono for a bucket o' wator. " 'Wonder if Yumez seed any Injun signs when he was out?' said Hill. " 'Why,' sex I, 4was he out whilst I was gone? ThoWght he was hyar with

He wont out with

after yo did,' said Bill.

And Bill loft the hut. "That cave me another suspicion, to 1' am that Yumex had left the hut shortly after I did. What for? An why did he pretend he'd heard the rifle-shot an' come out afterwards to see what it meant? I got up an' went to the pegs an' examined the Mexican's rifle. I didn't see the result, for the gun wasn't loaded at all! Things had an ugly look. While I was putting the gun back the Mexican returned, an' seein' what I was doln', he look'd guilty as a thief, an' then I know'd the rascal had fired that bullet at me hlsself.

I have alius been aorry I didn't shoot the traitor on tho spot. But I reasoned that bein' warned I could easily sarcttmvont his deviltry. But he was worse than I glvo him credit for. "1 decided not to tell Bill about it, but whan tho next morntn we disklvered some o' our best traps gone an'

that the Mexican had vamoosed also, I up an' told pardner all about it; an1 I think if Bill had been a swenrin matt the air 'ud a smelt o' brimstone sartin, for the old fallow wa billn' mad ol'ar through. Wo skirmished rouad all day, an' not an Injun sign

Hurt? Wall, no doubt It did, an bled tuuna. too. but I war so rnad I didn't

"Then the villains seixed me, an

being perpendicular an' as smooth as

"I fell about tea feet, an' was fetched up short by the lasso with a jerk that nearly twiited my ankles out o jtnU Then the brutes began payin' out the rope, finally hitchln' the upper end to the stub o' the saplin', till 1 was left hangin' by the heels, head downwards, danglin' in mid air. My hands had got loose in the meantime, but it didn't help me a bit, for I couldn't double up to get hold o' the rope. "It was a horrible situation, an' I think I should have died in a little while from rush o' blood to the head, but before I could perfectly realize it in all its horrors I heard the sharp crack of a rifle not far away, an' then one o' the Injuns gave the most onarthly screoch as I ever heard, an I know'd thar was some sort o' a skrlmrnldge goin' on above. "The next minute some hoavy object struck rae on the feet, an' was jost glidlu' past when without knowing edzactly what I was doln' I grabbed on with both hands an' held it fast "What d'ye think it was? Hang me, if it wasn't the Mexican hisself! In foolln' about the end o' the lariat he had slipped an' tumbled over the edge o' the rock, an' I had ketched the villain, an' was holdin' liim by the leg, an' thar wo two was, I hitched to the lasso an' holdin' on to the rascal by the leg, an' both swingin' head downwards. "Yell? You bet he did. I never hoard sech skreechin' as that skunk sot up. A pack o' hungry coyotes wasn't a patchin' to It. What happened, did yo ask?

OLD COLLEGE DAYS.

Wit AmarlnaM Kara llavn a Kensen to

Ilettre Their KotHrn.

American college boys have no

reason to desire the return of the "good old days." In the early days of Yale and Harvard the English system

of "fagging" was in active force.

A freshman was not allowed to wear his hat in the college yard unless

It was raining or snowing. Fresh

men were required to do servile work for any member of the faculty or of

the higher clauses at any time of thi

day, except study-hours or after nine p. m. They were also required to shake and dust the college carpet once a year, and to furnish, at their own expense, all the bats, balls and foot-balls used by the students. la some colleges corporal punishment was in force, and pecuniary fines were imposed for minor offenses. A comparison of these fines is Interesting. The amount exacted for lying, drunkenness and fighting was thirty cents, while the fine for card playing was one dollar. Six cents was imposed for too late attendance at church, while twelve cents was the penalty for too early an attendance, this discrimination being made beoause it was found that the young men were in the habit of standing at the church door before service and annoying those who ontered. We are glad to have seen the last of those good old days. Nothing was ever gained by cruelty and oppression, and wo can not help feeling that many a boy had to leave college in his freshman year to escape from these impositions who might have been a great man. Golden Days. The Shermanites of Alabama, In Leeds valley, in the vicinity of Birmingham, Ala., there is a colony composed of a religious sect known as the Shermanites. There are about one hundred families, and a happier, more contented people can not be found in the world. Their religious rites and ceremonies are peculiar. Who founded the society none of them seem to know, but it is old, as the fathers and grandfathers of the present generation were Shermanltes. They claim to follow the teachings of the New Testament in spirit and letter, and they believe that only Shermanltes will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. They have churches and preachers and worship ina manner similar to many other sects. One of their peculiar rites is the washing of feet A foot-washing service is held once every month, at which the preacher washes the feet of every member ef tho ohuroh. Tho members then hi turn wash the feet of the preacher aad of oaoh ether. They are industrious and scrupulously honest Divorce and drunkenness are unknown among them. The men never out their hair or beards. Ginoianati Coramerclal-Gaaette.
