THE STORY lttt:ffltt:t;xtt::t:t:.:ttamfflmm;nt:t; A VAIN r risenBY JOHN CI. ARM. ON a pleasant summer evening, some years since, the little village of Rosevale, la the western part of Nebraska, was in its regular weekly condition of eager anticipation, und most of its population, old aad young, male and female, had collected at the post office to await the arrival of the nail from the tost, which arat the most anxiously looked for because it came but one- in seven days. The postal oulciels had not yet learned the trick of expediting mail routes. The mail was carried on horseback, the usual mode in those days, when I, ...... w.-re neither railroads nor .Vau - coaches to connect the remote settlement with those nearer to civilization. When mails aere tight, one horse emfficcd for the carrier and Iiis charge. but in this case, Joe Stanton who -was contractor as well as carrier for the route, it h two horses one to carry bimse t nd the other for the n..,iiiff- ..,1 ,e took nrule in ownf .. , ing a pair of steeds as Meet, staunch and well , ared for as any in that country, not only because he was a trreat horseman, with a line apprecia tion of good stock, but because the route he traveled arai constantly be- ,.. vtlh mum or less dancer, and it night at any tin..- b JESSSBTy for liim to rely upon the swittness or nm gallant beasts for his own safety, as Wall as that of the precious iui"ivcs Intrusted to his care, The various Indian tribes, winch, in their wanderings, occasionally I roseed his trail, had for some time profess, d to be peaceable, but they were at al most any moment sufficiently treach- j eruus to murder and rob a man, or a small nam ol whites, whenever they could do so with safety, and. for Short time past there had been ..Mowing rumors that they would probably c-nirae in open iiosinuus a noon on an sillaace of all the principal tribes could be effected. This langer, though at ill regarded by tin- settlers a rather remote, caused them to eser.-i.se unlsiia! vigilance, and rendered Joe Stanton more wary and watchful while on the road. ,l..e was at this lime a young man of 15. more or less, ot fine appearance am. gr eat s rce, , . .n. . . mvns born and raised in a .'

Millie Stacey by name, a robust beauty, with much natural ft rt vs. iM'vs but little or no retinonent. As his passion vvns returned with the proper degree of ardor, Joe, like all young lovers, was more r less oblivious of the faults and shortcom ings of his inamorata, and, when they were sometimes a little rudely thrust man his attention, consoled himself With the reflect i .n that he WOUM in ,. .1 time be able to eradicate them. . . ..I. , 1 The course of t rue love ran ly enough; the fair ones parents iaBred Joe's suit, and amiic.l approvIngly upon the young i;-P'-ga.cneat; and, when the old folks lecided to remove to the tar weat, was agreed thai loa should scccsav pany the,,, and that marriage waros camp duly. and. besides Having pnj vided himself with a saddle horse and ,n good rifle, be spent some time in hunting by the Way, Sad thus added considerably to the .ptantity and v.nety of the party, provisions.

If Joe had known in what direction to pnreue the cowardly and blood thlraty Indian?, he would certainly have followed them tingle-handed aad alone, but. fortunately for himself, perhaps, he had no skill or experience in following blind trails, and was compelled to abandon the pursuit, Grief stricken, almost heart broken, he made his way back to the nearest settlement, where he told the tragic story of his loss, and vainly endeavored to raise a party to accompany him in an attempt to reseuo his abducted love, and take revenge on the murderers of her relatives. The settlement could not spare men enough to venture afely upon auch an errand. As the last atrocity was, however, but one of a lone series of ettCh dead ish deeded the government, alter tome delay, s.-nt a detachment to punish the guilty tribe, and Joe found means to join it as a volunteer scout.

"I think mine is one of those caseB," eaid ,Ioe, earnestly, and lapsed into thoughtful silence. Having rested his allotted time, Joe et out upon his return trip. About the middle of the afternoon, while pa-sing through a dangerous detile, overhung with a thick growth of bushes, he was amhlculy surrounded by a large patty of Arapaho braves, and though he fottghl desperately and managed to kill two of them, they overpowered him, and, having bound him upon one of his own boi started for the village. They did not reach it until next day, and meant im Joe was eloeely watched, no that he had tv onoort unit v to escape. On ar riving in camp be was delivered to the thief, who ordered him to be bound to a tree, and assembled a council of braves to decide Iiis fate. While the warriors sat in grave deliberation, the aquawe and children amused tbemnelvee by Insulting t'1 helpless prisoner, who bore their BB Boyancee and peraecutions with be ing fortitude, At length a sqoaw approached, and she seemed to Joe Bl being qnite different from the rest. She was much better dressed, cleaner ' looking, and lighter In complexion, j though her face was dabbed with the usual red and yellow paint.

It required all Joe's self command to follow the cunning womnn's directions, and avoid betraying them both, but he succeeded. As she left and returned to aim from time to 1'une, she gradually informed him of the decision of Hit warriora concerninc his case, which was that he should lie j tortured BS soon as a scouting party, 1 then absent, r-t arried, and also Of her plans of escape.

These verses narrate the following incidents: The dlselplr-a scattered Philip In Smarla '- . rebuked Acts S:3. 4 Act? K.B-17 Acis S.1S-J6 All this occurred A. D. M to 36. The Disciples Scattered Stephen's trial complet.lv convinced the Jews f,e disciples of Jesus were a set of blasphemers who ought to te stamped out at once. The chief age nt in the proceedings resulting from this conviction was Saul.

Add to these items the fact that a search was made from house to house for the capture of anv who were suspected of conm c te n with the followers of Jesus. By telling the story of Jesus' life and work wherever they went, the scattered disciples accomplished the thing for which, so far BS WO BBB judge. Cod allowed them to suffer. We are probably not lo think of them as gathering audiences to Wr.OM they might make formal addresses, but as telling everyone whom they could get to istes to tlM Bl the story of Jesus' life tad the hope of salvation which they cherished. Of course, many would gather about them in the little villages or the khans where they met men. Philip i'i San. aria. After the death of Stephen, Phil became senior dencon. Those officers bow becsme L aders in the work of teaching and preaching, since the apostles could not w . rk openly for a time. It was a long step forward for a Jew to go to Samaria with a message of love. Jesus hail mentioned Samaria explicit ly, how ever (l:t), and it had t he advantage of being perfectly secure. In practically all fjentile cities were large Jewish col onies who recognized the authority ot the Sanhedrin and would endanger any Christian who sought refuge there, Bui no one ia Bamaria had anv respect for the Sanhedrin. Jesus WOrh in Samaria (J. hn 4: ;'.'-4J) made it possible for Phil. p. Jew as he was. to Visit the city Bpsaly and gain a hearing. He was also helped by the power to perform miracles There were niore people to secure there than in places where Jesus had visited. Simon Magus was evidently one of those imp. .stets who in all ages have won a large popular following by their tricks, l'hilip appeared in the popular ewe at first as a great and sueeess- ! ful rival of Simon, but later the real meaning of his work impressed them. ' In view of what happened later, Simon's profession of faith must lie viewed as little more than a tribute to success, though it was no doubt has,-,) on a recognition in Philip of a power greater than that of any trickster.

MEXICAN A NATURAL MINER. Some Valuable 1 n formation for mote Who Contemplate ProJertluK In Hlstuantry. 1 could not advise anyone to start o Mexico seeking a high-grade proposition which may be worked with mall capital. My opinion in this is ba-ed OB the following facts: IllUi'' Ol 1.-.- rv : ii, ..v. .- w - mining ami metallurgy was practiced . A more or less sc cntitrc system m in many localities (a -Mcmco long ticfore the California discoveries gave Kinerican mining its great impetus. 1 Ii. operations were carried on under tin supervision of the priesthood, und for the lienetit of t he church. At that time the population of Mexico was fanatically religious; therefore, iny thing pertaining lo the interest of She church would attract the interest f the public at large. The ecclesiastical mining plants did not require a SpCCJsJ and exclusive class of operatives, but employed any and all of the communicants who were not otherwise occupied. It follows that nearly Sil the laborers of the OOUB iry would, at some time or other in their lives, be employed in mining operations. In later years the American and German miners have made Mexico a field of operat ions, and have installed comparatively recent methods. These f, .reign enterprises have been no respecters of persons, as regards their native laborers, employing the first person who appeared to fill a vacancy; and since a few dollars SB hand makes the average Mexican laborer too rich to work, vacancies sere not tafreejaent. From all of which it follows that the conditions have been favorable for a general dissembsatlOB of practical mining knowl edge in Mexico, writes Theodore b. De Lay, in Engineering Msgsriae. Now, the Mexican, while not of strong mentality. BBS the faculty of observation strongly developed by I tlose contact with nature, and has ihe Capacity for accurate imitation char- ' acteristic of nil semi-civ ilie.l peoples. Hence, we mny expect to find him a good Off -hand judge of ore, quite skillful In t.sts with the "baten1 and horn spoott, and even able to supplement these with rough roasting and amalganint ing operations. In nearly every Mexican home, however lovvlv, I one will find specimens of ore, with which the children play while they ' listen to the talk of their elders about j the fortunes Which have been cairn. i by the turning of a stone. In a eouni try over every foot of which men of the above character have been roamI ing for generations, either directly in search of mineral or as herders, ; yet ever with an ey open for piedras rtcas, there is sm ill cbanee of there j remaining anv thing which can be seen at surface.
