FINDING THE TRAIL.

AN INCIDENT OF INDIAN WARFARE IN THE WILD SOUTHWEST.

Detroit Free Pom.

Here In tbeshadowof this grim mountain is a camp of cavalry—200 men in faded and ragged blue uniforms, every face sunburned and bronzed, every saber and carbine showing long use, every horse lifting its bead from the gram at short intervals for a swift glance up aud down the valley.

Here, at the foot of the mountain, the Apache trail, which has been followed for three days, has grown cold. Aye, it has been lost. It is as if the white men bad followed a path which suddenly ended at a precipice. From this point the red demons took wings, and the oldest trailer is at fault.

The men on picket look up and down the narrow valley with anxious faces. Down the valley, a mile away, a solitary wild horse paws and prances, and utters shrill neighs of wonderment and alarm. Up the valley is a long stretch of green grass, the earth as level as a floor, and no risible sign of life. The pines, and shrubs, and rocks on the mountain side might hide 10,000 Indians, but there is not the slightest movement to arouse suspicion. It is a still, hot day. Not a bird chirps, not a branch waves. Tho eye of a lynx could detect nothing beyond the erratic movements of the lone wild horse adown the valley, and tho circular flight of an eagle so high in air that, the proud bird seemed no larger than a sparrow.

For au hour every man and horse has looked for •'signs," but nothing has been discovered beyond what has been described. It is a lost trail. There is something in it to arouse suspicion as weli as annoyance. Ten miles away tne trail was as plain as a country highway, and the Indians bad no suspicion of pursuit. Five miles back there were signs of commotion. Here, in the center of the valley, every footprint suddenly disappears.

Look, now A sergeant with grizzly locks and fighting jaw rides down the valloy, followed by live troopers. They are to scout for the lost trail. Every man has unslung his carbine, every sad-dle-girth has been tightened, and every man of the six looks looks over the camp as he rides out as if he had been told that he was biddiug a last farewell to his comrades. They ride at a slow gallop. Each man casts swift glances along the mountain side to his rlght-r-along the mountain side to his left—at the gieen grass under his horse's feet. \V list's that! Afar up the slope to the right something waves to and fro a moment. Higher up the signal is answered. Across the valley on the other slope it is answered agalu. Down the valley, a full two miles beyond where the wild horse now stands like a figure of stone, and where the valley sweeps to the right like tho suddon turn of a river, tho signal lsjoaught up and 200 Apaches, eager, excited, and mounted, draw back into tho fringe at the base of the mountain a a it

sent by a strong bund. The sight may thrill, but It does not Increase the pace of those who follow. Tho men see the wild horse fleeing before them, but the sight does not hold their eyes more than a second. To the right—to the left —above them—down the valley—they are looking for a hoof-print, for a tramplod spot, for a broken twig—for a sign however Insignificant to prove that men have liassed that way. They Mud nothing. The slgual.s up the mountain-side wore visible only for seconds.

After tho first wild burst of speed the lone horse looks back. Ho sees that he Is not being pushed, and he recovers courage, lie no longer runs In a straight line, but he sweep away to the leftswerves away to the right, and changes hi* gait to a trot.

A sheet^of flame—a roar—a clond of smoke, apd the nx horses spring forward. Tien there is a grand yell, a rush by every horse and rider, and a whirlpool begins to circle. Sabers clash and clang—arrows whistle—revolvers pop— voices shout and scream. It is not three minutes since the first carbine was fired, but the tragedy has ended. Every trooper IB down and scalped, half a dozen redskin* are dead or dying, a dozen horses are struggling or staggering, and turning the bend at a mad gallop is the sergeant's riderless horse. He carries an arrow in his sbonlder,and there is blood on the saddle. In five minutes he will be in camp, and the notes of the bugle will prove that the lost trail has been found.

7? VEER STO RIES.

A deed of property lately made over to the United States near Fort Davis, Texas, reads "To the United States or it* successors."

An Englishman bequeathed his two daughters their weight in £1 bank notes. One of the girls received £54,200 and the other £59, 344.

The wife of J. W. Wise, of Spurlington, Ky., is a grandmother at thirty-one years of age. She was married at the age of fourteen, and her daughter was carried at the same age.

The reason given by a Camden, Onedia county, man for not marrying sgaln is that his lot In the cemetery is now full, he having recently burled his sixth wife there.

Letters deposited in the Ottumwa (Iowa) Postofflcein 18d6 have just jonie to light. They were discovered in tearing down the building. They had been lost through a defect In the slide.

In a replevin' suit at Stevensville, Montana, relating to a pair of reins bought at auction for fifty cenls, the un successful litigant paid in costs more than |500. Over 100 witnesses were examined.

Two cattle dealers of Bay St. Louis, named Odum and Borden, quarreled under a pine sapling during a storm. Borden held up the knife to strike his opponent, but at that instant a stroke of lightning killed them both.

A man named Van Voust warned several young men not to bathe in the Mohawk at Schenectady on Sunday, but they disregarded him. Van Voust then carried off1 an armful of their cKthing. A tall young man of the party found a headless barrel, into whicn he stepped, and thus made his way home, while the dogs of the town furnished a howling escort.

John Heuse, of Reading, Penn., was In the South when the war broke out, and he wrote to his wife that he had been forced to join the rebel army. Nothing more was heard of him, and he was mourned as dead. Recently he returned home. He says that when the rebel army marched to Gettysburg he one night made his escape, but was recaptured and put on board a war vessel, where be remained for some time and then made bis escape. He traveled westward, was taken prisoner by the IndlauSjand was held captive for fifteen years. He learned a number of Indian dialects, and became a member of the tribe. He made his escape at last, went to France, an4 returned to America via Cuba.

And that came from a girl whose arms and legs were as bare as Borry's, and whose scrawny arms and lath-like shins were as great an offense as the actress* sklrtless symmetry.

NIGHT-KEY AT STAKE—THE ^•'7..- END OF THE PLAY.

Wheeling Register.

"The river, immediately before the war," continued the speaker, "was a great gambling-boose. The splendid Steamers plying between New Orleans and the North were loaded with men whose interests was deep in games of chance. The planters were the most reckless gamseters. They seldom had any ready money, but would lose their live-stock and niggers with equanimity. I went down on the Belle Key in 1859 from Memphis to New Orleans. At Natchez, a great planter got abroad with fifty slaves. He chipped into a game with a Northern Judge, a New York merchant and au army officer. The 8takes mounted up to fine proportions— something like (20,000 in one pot—when I saw the Judge win. He held the best bands, and before we reached the Crescent City, owned forty of the planter's niggers, valued at from $1,000 to $1,500 each. "But by all odds the most interesting

mel ever saw was played on the Belie in 1857. There were circumstances connected with it which made it an all-absorbing event to the people who understood what it really meaut. The players were two only. They are both dead, and probably all their descendants have followed them to the grave, so I mention their names and tell you about the train of events which lea to that game and Its attendant tragedy. In 1856 there lived in asmalltown in Kentucky, a beautiful girl named Alice Crayton. She had a number of suitors, but only two seemed to meet with passing favor in her eyes. One was a rich young planter named Horace Ellison, and the other a young lawyer, recently from the North, named Converse. Ellison had the advantage of bis rival in looks aud accomplishments. He had traveled extensively, was well-read, polished, and bore the reputation oi being a dare-devil in affairs of gallantry, aud was said to be not over upright and honorable iu his affairs with women. He was the sort of a man to attact some girls. But Miss Crayton preferred Converse, and finally married him. Elllsou, after swearing to be revenged, went abroad. In the course of a year, Converse and his wife'went to New Orleans to live. Two years after the marriage. Converse, returning home on the Belle Lamar, after a business trip North, discovered his old rival Ellison among the passengers. All feeling of resentment had died out in bis heart and he greeted Ellison heartily, the latter returning his hand-shake with well simulated warmth. For a day the two men chatted together agreeably, to all appearance good friends. The next evening Ellison piopoaed a little draw to while away the monotony of the voyage. Converse readily assented, and they started the game In a large state-room. Four or five others were present, but they didn't join it. At first the ante was trifling. As Converse steadily lost, he Insisted on raising it each deal, and be-

an drinking, a rare thing for him to do. ill-fortune continued, and after a seance of two hours he began to borrow money from his friends in the room, having lost all his own to Ellison. The latter was cool and firm as a rock. He seldom spoke, and then in cutting accents, which added to the fast-growing enmity his opponent felt toward him. 'Perhaps if Mr. Converse would finger bis glass less and his cards more, his

5

ame would be more Interesting, and ess easy to beat,' Ellison remarked. 'Mr. Converse can take care of himself under all circumstances,' Converse retorted. 'Yes, be demonstrated liis facility for looking after his own interest, two vhep he won a great stake, ut not"by fair play.'

years ago whe but not by fait "I saw Converse's face flush. He un derstood the allusion to the old rivalry bstween him and Ellison and its covert insinuation. He started as though to say something, but stopped. Tbe game went on, and soon afterward Converse had lost every penny and bis watch and diamond pin. "Ellison laughed sneerlngly. 'Mr Converse should apply his methods in love-making to card-playing,' be said 'What do you mean, sir 'What do you please. Shall we continue the game?' "Converse was white with fury. Tho gambling spirit, mingled with hate and rage, was on him. As if in answer to his unspoken thought Elllison said in his co'd, exasperating tones: 'You lack a stake. I will hazard all my winnings against the night key of your house We will play three hands In five for It. "This monstrous proposition struck us all dumb. Converse bounded from his chair and gasped. He was speechless, In fact, the emotions of this great experience had deprived him of the power of words. Ellison alone was nnmoved. He sat quietly tossing the pile of gold before htm with his white fingers. 'Do yon consent he asked. "The loss Converse had sustained he could not replace. Ruin was before him, On the other hand, the privilege he was invited to hazard meant, if he lost It, a dishonor worse than death. What thoughts passed through that man's mlna In a few seconds will never be known. He grasped the back of his chair, stared wildly around, and hoarse ly muttered 'Yes.' "Yon may imagine bow breathlessly we bent over the players now. They shuffled the cards in silence. Ellison won the first two deals. Tbe next Converse won. The fourth time, amid a silence in the room deep as the tomb, Ellison dealt and gave Converse two queens, a jack and two nine spots. The latter drew one card, and announced himself ready. Ellison glanced quickly at him, and laid down four aces. I always thought he had stacked his hand. "*Yon have won the key,'said Converse. He drew it off the ring, and then, quick as lightning, crowded it into tbe barrel of his revolver. 'Take it.' and pulled the trigger. Then he turned the weapon against himself, and fell dead upon the corpse of his antagonist.whose brains bespattered the cards which bad destroyed their fortunes and honor and Uvea."

',3a BELLE'S DIVERSIONS. The muster-roll of belles for tbe coming season at Newport has received an important addition in the arrival of Emily Ycnaga, a younger sister of Lady MandeviUe and Lady Kaye. Miss Ysnaga has been spending several abroad, and by her tnesa, cleverness and originality baa wot. golden opinions and made boat of friecas. It Is related of hear that on the occasion of a viait in a country house where the Prince and Princes of Wales were among tbe guests, that she relieved the tedium of a first evening, and saved the distinlished company from absolute bore.vim by retiring to her room, blackening her ika donning the costume of a plantation Topsy, and throwing herself on the floor of the drawing-room, where, with the aid of an old banjo, ahe sang cad denagro •DOKS to the light fff allpeewnL

ONE OF THE KIND SELDOM SEEN AND

and to begin with, looked well-fed, healthy and strong. She looked as though she had a good sensible mother at home. Her face and neck and ears and her hair were clean—absolutely clean. How seldom you see that. There was no powder, no paint on the smooth, rounded cheek or hrm, dimpled chin none on the moist red lips none on the shell-tinted, but not too small ears none on the handsomely set neck—rather broad behind, perhaps, but running mighty prettily up into the tightly corded hair. And tne hair! It was of a light chestnut brown and glistened with specks of gold as the sun shone on it, and there was not a smear of oil or pomatum on it there was not spear astray about it, and not a pin to be seen in it. As the giri came in and took her seat,she cast an easy unembarrassed glance around the car, from a well opened gray eye, bright with the inimitable light of "good condition," such as you see in some handsome young athletes who are "in training.*' There were no tags and ends, fringes, furbelows or fluttering ribbons about her closely fitting but easy suit of tweed, and, as she dr«w off one glove to look lu her purse for a small coin for fare, I noticed that the gloves were not new, but neither were they old they were simply well kept, like the owner and their owner's band, which was a solid hand, with plenty of muscles between the tendons and with strong but supple fingers. It would have looked equally pretty fashioning a pie in a home kitchen or folding a bandage in a hospital. It was a hand that suggested at tne same time womanliness and work, and I was sorry when it found a five cent piece and had been regloved.

A REAL NICE GIRL. SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT

One foot was thrust out a little upon the slats of the car floor—a foot in a good walkiog boot that might have plashed through a rain storm without fear of damp stockings—and an eminently sensible boot on a two and one-half foot with a high in step, a small round heel, and a pretty broad thread. The girl was a picture from head to foot as she sat erect, disdaining the support of the back of the seat, but devoid of all appearance of stiffness. Perhaps the whole outfit to be seen, from hat to boots, did not cost $40 but I have seen plenty of outfits costing more than ten times or even- twenty times that, which did not look one-tenth or even one-twentieth as well. If our girls only knew the beauty of mere simplicity, cleanliness and health, and their fascination! ..

FANNIE MILLS' FEET.

AN OHIO FARMER'S DAUGHTER WHO WEARS THE LARGEST SHOES ON EARTH.

Faunie Mills is 22 years old, and resides on the dairy farm of her father, George Mills, two miles from Sandusky, O. A Cincinnati Enquirer reporter describes a visit. The young woman was called by her father, and wabbled, rather than walked, Into the front room. She wore a long gown, which was scarceiy sufficient to hide the deformity. She sat down in a chair and exposed her feet to view. It is almost impossible to exaggerate the marvelous sight. She removed ber shoes, and then great white pillowcases, which were worn as stockings.

The feet look like two Immense hams. The toes are Irregular, and the little toes are represented by two little knobs. There are no toe-nails, although the places where tbey should be are clearly defined. The correspondent undertook the delicate task of measuring the feot. The right foot is one foot six inches in length, and the left, one Inch shorter. Ovel* the instep of the right foot is twenty-one inches and over the other in one inch less. The big toe of the left foot is eleven inches in circumference. The right foot is longer than tho ifeft by an inch, but the latter is heavier and thicker. The feet are respectively seven and eight inches wide. From this actual measurement of Fanny Mills' feet any any one can readily imagine what marveiously large

Bhoes

fn

she must wear.

Heretofore they have been manufactured in Albany, N. Y., but a Sandusky shoe firm has the last and a pair ol shoes on exhibition, which have attracted

treat attention. Her feet have increased size since the display in tbe shoe store window was made.

The left shoe is 18& inches long, the right 18 inches in length the left Is 714 inches wide, and the other 8 inches. The right instep of tbe shoe measures 19J^ inches, and the left 17K lucbes. Fannie Mills weighs 109 pounds, and although delicate looking, says she has good health. It takes two calf hld*s to make her a pair of shoes, and all her vitality goes to sustain lier matisive limbs and feet. The girl bad unusually large feet when she was born, and they have continued to grow alarmingly fast ever since.

BRET HARTE'S PEOPLE. In the midst of the black forest, says an Oregon traveler, where the pines rofce in close files on either side to a height of 100 feet and more, shrieks and shouts were heard, and then the lights of a south-bound stage appeared. A chorus of wild songs came from the passengers that filled tbe inside and top of tbe coach, and as they reined np In the narrow place and the driver accomplished the delicate feat of passing on that crooked corduroy our Jehu explained that the revelers were gamblers and saloon-keeper*, moving from the end of the track over to Siskiyou Moun tain to establish their dens in antiripe tinn of the legion of workmen soon to follow tbem.

They were all there—the gentleman from Siskiyou, tbe Outcasts of Poker Flat, Jack Hamlen tbe Dncbeas and tbe rest, change* slightly to view by these latter-dav fashions, but still the same as those wild, lost souls that made tbe old mining camp* of tbe scene of gay, reckless and terrible deeds.—^Correspondence ol tbe St. Louis Globe Democrat.
