ROYAL RANGER RALPH;i ob : Tilt Waif of the Western Prairies, BY WELDON J. COBB. CHAPTER XIX. THE MODOCS. Walford, tho old hermit, started Slightly as Inez stepped before him. lie peered anxiously, curiously into her face, and then seized her hand, his impressive face agowwith s: dden emotion. “Yes,” he murmured, “it is indeed the daughter of my o d friend—l could not mistake that face ” Inez stood with downcast eyes and pallid countenance and did not reply to his words. Despard hissed but o.e menacing sentence into h r shrinking ear: “Remember your promise!” he breathed fiercely. “Yo lover dies if you fail me | now.” Then aloud he said to Walfo d: “You ' are satisfied that this is Inez Tracey?” The hermit bowed assent ngly. “She has a letter from her father ; written just previous to his death If you wish to see it she will show it to you.” “I wouid like to see it.” Inez produced a missive sho had re- I ceived some weeks befo.e. The hermit perused it, returned it to ' her and asked, “This gentleman is your intended husband?” For a moment Inez faltered. She ' . seemed about to deny the query when j she met the fierce, threatening glance of ! her captor. “Yes,” she gasped, almost inaudibly. “And you wish me to deliver to him the trust left me to execute by'your dying father?” “If you will.” Warford drew a time-worn paper from his breast. “In this document,” he said, “your father left his fortune to you in my charge. The fortune consists of lands in California near the sea coast, which are already deeded to you, and a description of which is contained in this paper.” He handed Despard the document as he spoke. “These lands,” he continued, “are comparatively worthless; but, besides th m, Air. Tracey left a fortune in tangible shape. It comprises a casket containing diamonds, into which he converted his wealth in Teru; diamonds which, while ! they only fi 1 a small metal box, repre sent a value exceeding one hundred thousand dollars. ” “And you have these diamonds 9” asked Despard eagerly. “Yes. Aly friend Tracey told me to deliver them to his daughter. I now do so. ”, - The hermit retired to a darkened portion of the apartment, and was gone for some moments. When he returned he bore a small black box in his hand. The avaricious eyes of Despard gleamed with secret exultation. The covet d fortune of the Traceys was within his grasp at last, and he could scarcely contain himself for joy. The old sccut. a silent and interested I spectator of all that had transpired j within the past few moments: was I of the He resolved to act boldly. Drawing his revolver he sprang past the bandits. “Hold!” His voice was clear and commanding. The startled Despard recoiled. Ranger Ralph had wrested the casket from his grasp just as the old hermit had hanaed it to him. “Walford, do you not know me? It is I —Ranger Ralf h!” A cry of amazement broke from the old hermit’s lips. “You!” he cried. “Yes, yes. Yonder man is Dyke Despard, the outlaw, and the girl is acting ; 'under his threats. ” “Down him!” The enraged Despard shouted the order to his men hoarsely. He himself sprang upon the scout as he spoke. The box fell with a clanging sound from the hand of Ranger Ralph to the hard stone floor of the cavern. The other outlaws were about to press forward to aid their companion and leader, when a sudden episode diverted : them from their purpose. A lithe form, that of a woman, darted suddenly into view. Springing from a dark corner of the cave, she revealed the face and figure of White Fawn, the Indian princess. She glid jM to where De pard and the scout were struggling is deadly combat. With one bjow she drove a knife into the ■ back of the outlaw leader. Then, stooping, she seized the box of- - and di appeared like a sash down one of the dark .corridors of tho place. With a cry of pain and rage Dyke Despard ■ taggered back. “Shoot them down!” he cried hoar-ely ' to his men as he retreated to their j ranks. ’The old hermit seized the scout as the ! latter was about to spring forward to ^^PTue Inez. At the same moment the ■Outlaw fired at them. “This way,” spoke the heimit quickly. He drew Ranger Ralph cut of range of the bullets of their foes. “Follow me,” he oidered. “But the girl!” “You cannot rescue her now.” Walford bad darted down a dark corrido •. Suddenly he pans d. A series of. savage yells emanated from the apartment they had just ’eft. They were mingled with the alarmed cries of the bandits. Loud reports of continuous firing awoke all the si’ent echoes of the pla e. “What doe; that mean?” demanded th j mystified s -out. “The Indians ” “Mococs?” “Yes. They have penetrated the cave. See! They are coming this way. Hasten, old friend and partner, I have a safe retreat if we can only reach it in time. ” The truth flashed across Ranger Ralph’s mind as he obeyed his companion and stumbled down a dark corridor. White Fawn, he reasoned, had reachL ed th<> tribe, and they had returned with to wreak vengeant e on the renegades. theory, however, the old scout j

was only in a measure co-rect. What ■ ha 1 really happened was this: " hits Fawn had rode toward the place where she supposed the Modoc's were encamped. She had seen her father and had told him all the cruel story of her wrongs. Within an hour the warriors were aware of Despard’s treachery, and were on the war-path, wild with emotions of reveng' and rage. Ono hour after Despard had left the outlaw stronghold with Inez Tracy, the savages arrived there, The bandits est behind fell immediate victims to the vengeance of tho Afodocs, but White 1 Fawn managed to induce her lather to spare Darrel Grey. Provided with a horse, he was led out i out of sight of the tribe by the chief ' and to d to hasten to some of the settlements. as the savages wore bco lj thirsty and intoxicated, and he cou d not restrain them. The Fawn then led them after 1 s- ! pard. She was the first to enter the cave of I the o d hermit, and as has been seen she | secured the diamond casket and fled. She was lurking in one of the numerous corridors of the cave when the Mo- | docs penetrated to the p ace. A scene of the wildest confusion en- । sued. The savages attacked Ilie rene- । gades merci essly. Tho a armed Inez was borne away | captive by two of the Indians. Despard had disappeared mysteriously I at the very commen ement of the atI tack. The wily outlaw leader foresaw his peri’, and. wounded as ho was, managed to escape. Shadow Snake ordered a thorough search for the Crow, and by accident the I savages went down the corridor where ; the hermit and Ranger Ralph had gone Wa ford g a need back as he heard tho i savages. | “They are following us,” he said to his companion. i “Is there away out of tho place?” i “There is a place of safe refuge for us, yes,” replied the hermit. “As to these savages, we will stop then pursuit. ” “How?” “Thatdyou shall see.” The hermit had halted at a place where the t orridor widened. Watching his grim features silently, the scout saw him draw a keg fiom a recess in the ro k. Walford p'aced it across the corridor. A minute later a flaring, splutterins : fuse, emitting brilliant sparks, told tho j scout that the old hermit in‘ended in a I a summary manner to close the pursuit ; of their savage fees. CHAPTER XX. THE HOCSS IN THE AIR. “Powder!” ejaculated Ranger Ralph, as the hermit hurried him from the spot. “Exactly. The Indians would have overtaken us, and wo had to cut off our retreat. ” “Have we done it?” “Wait and see. ” The corridor they were pursuing came | to an end at art. It terminated at a shelf of ro.ks overlooKing a little ravine “that was a branch of the main canyon. So precipitous was the descent, and so i fra 1 the area of the rock they had reached, that the scout looked dismayed. “I see no way of escape,” he remarked. “Wait. ” Both stood silent for some moment-. Suddenly there was a deafening explosion. ■< ■ - - • ... ■ ■ . | “The powder?" ^^^Ana now how are we going to leave here?” “look out and see.” Ranger Ralph advanced to the edge of the rock. He uttered a cry of interest and delight as his ejes met a curious spectacle. From the rock a dead tree ran like a bridge across to a high perpendicular column of rock. Twenty feet beyond this was anoiher rock. B tween the two, held firmly in place, ! was a rude, dilapidated hut formed of I logs. “That is my retreat,” said Walford. “And a safe and strange place it is,” remarked the scout. “But how did that house ever come there?” “It was bu It by me ten years ago, when the two rocks were one.” “I understand. ” “Gradually they crumbled away. ” “And left the house between them 9” “Exactly. ” “Is it safe?” “For the present, yes. Some day it will go crashing down. Cross over on I the tree.” A few minutes later they had reached I the first rocks Thence thay gained I admittance to the hut. It was a singular i place, indeed. From the window they could look for many miles down the ravine. Beneath them was an open space for many hundred feet. The hut seemed tightly wedged in between the two rocks. “What do you intend to do?” asked the I scout, after a careful survey of the strange surroundings. “Remain here for a while.” “until the Indians go away?” “Yes. ” “But the girl?” “We will think about that later. We can do nothing by precipitate action ” “You saw the Indian girl?” asked tho scout “I saw a quick form dart through the cave and secure the diamonds, yes.” “It was White Fawn.” “And an enemy—one of the Alodoc spies?” “No, a friend.” “She has disappeared. ” “But she wll return the diamonds.” And Ranger Ralph related what he knew of the Indian princess. For over an hour the two men discussed the situation. It was just coming on nightfall, when the scout happened to glance from the window. “Look!” he said. The hermit hastened to his side. The valley below them was filled with Indian They could see that the savages were about to camp ii the ravine for tho night. Among them the scout made out the girl prisoner, Inez Tracev. “Seo,” he said, “the girl is safe.” “Yes, and we will rescue her if they remain for the night Too late! We are ; discovered.” Both men drew back from the window hastily. Evidently they had been seen by some of the Indian-; in the valley be- ; low. They could see them point to the strange house in the rocks. Then several shots were fired at them. “I am sorry they saw us,” remarked j Walford. “They cannot injure us. ”

“Perhaps not; but they will try to dislodge us. ” “They are trying it already, cried Ranger Ralph excited'y. “What do you mean?” “Look yonder. ” “At the tree bridge?” •• Yus ’’ A cry of alarm parted the hermit's lips. On the shelving rock were several : Indians just about to cross the treebridge that led to the strange house in the a?r. CHAPTER XXI. NIGHT ADVENTURES. The attention of the two bordermen was now entirely centered upon the tree that had crossed the ravine. At exactly the place whence the scout had first seen the house in the air, sev- ; eral savages were visible. The explosion in the eave had evidently only tern-' porarily blocked their progress. bo far, apparently, they had not seen ! the occupants of the cabin, but as they regarded the strange hut and pointed to it, the hermit knew that they meditated I a visjt. “they must not come here,” he said j to his companion. “Os cour e no^” rep’ied tho scout; ! “but how are we going to prevent i them?” “Get your revolver ready.” “All right.” “Xcw take a position by this rock.” Ranger Ralph did as directed. “If any of them attempt to cross, fire at them,” said Walford. i “And you?” I “I am going io destroy the means of I access to our place of refuge. ” I “And cut off our own retreat!” “Not at all. There is an outlet by the other rock. ” The scout remained on guar^ behind the rock. The old hermit crept cautiously toward the spot where the dead tree rested on the first cliff of stone. Ranger Ralph could observe all the movements of the savages without being seen. He saw one of them finally make a movement as if to cross the impromptu bridge. The scout drew a bead on him and fired. Tho astoni-hed Aloaoc fell back with a cry of pain. His companions, too, retreated further into the cave. They were comp’etely mystified at the strange attack. Their bewilderment increa od i when they saw the tree go hurtling down ; the ravine. The hermit had pushed one end e’ear I of the rock, and it fell, depriving the savages of any opportunity of crossing to the rock. A minute later he rejoined ! the scout. ! “They can’t cross that gap,” heremarked. “Let us return to the cabin. ” “There is no danger to bo apprehended from o ir enemies that way?” “None. ” “They may fire at us. ” “The rock intervenes, and they cannot reach us No, they will soon retire from the cave as they came. ” “And then?” “An attack from below, I presume.” “That won t amount to much. ” “I don’t know,” remarked Walford concernedly. “Now they have discovered us they will exercise.all their cun- ( ning to dislodge and destroy us.” , ’ For over an hour, however, there was I no especial commotion visible in the valley below. The Afodocs had moved j their camp farther down tho valley. Quite a party of them had sought I shelter behind some rocks directly under , ! tho cabin. From their frequently point- | j ing to the cabin the hermit and the scout i realized that they were formiux sjj#? ~j could induce Shadow Snake to efUsli; hostilities if she was there. The Alodoc nrincess, however, was nowhere to be seen. As the scout learned later, she had mot with adventures that pr vented her appearing to her friends for many a long day. Finaliy, just at dusk, the Modocs-be-i low were joined by several more sav- J I ages. “They are the Indians who trieJ to i cross on the tree,” explained Walford. I Their enemies seemed to discuss the i question excitedly. They separat'd, I but the watching men in their strange eyrie could see that they were disposing themselves for a combined atta k upon the cab n in the air. The hut was perhaps a hundred feet I from the ground. The savage ^fit st be- j can to fire at the windows of the cabin, j Then, realizing that this was a useless expend ture of powder and ball, they ceased a'l hostilities for some time. _ [to be co nun u eixJ It Is True. Is it true that the steamship is rapidly displacing sail-vessels on the ocean, asks a reader. It is true, and the day is not remote when craft with sails will be scarce on all oceans. Strange as It may appear, steamships can now carry freight as cheaply as sail-vessels, and are far more secure for the freight and passengers carried. The present great ocean thoroughfares are: 1. The route across the Atlantic, through the Mediterranean Sea, Suez Canal, Red Sea to India, China, Australia and Eastern Africa. 2. The route by the Pacific Ocean to Japan, China and Australia. 3. The route by the Atlantic Ocean down the east coast of South America and around Cape Horn to Western America and Australia. 4. The i route down the Atlantic and the west coast of Africa, around the Cape of Good Hope to East Africa, Australasia and the East, and the number of ocean steamers moving on ' these great routes is about 12,000. ■ Great Britain runs 6,500 of these I steamers, Germany 750, France 550, | United States 450, Italy 225, and ; : Russia 250; the others are owned | ' elsewh"’’"' These steamships carry ;an a: tount of freight each year which is simply fabulous in value, a । value not less than ten thousand millions of dollans. English steamships seem to be carrying half the j freight of the world’s commerce. In big trees the new State of Washington is quite rich. z\.

A TTonderfnl Clock, AL Wollman, the jeweler, of Council Bluffs, lowa, has given the curious ample opportunity to test thei-r ingenuity in an endeavor to fathom the mystery of a clock which he has recontly.eompleted and placed in one of his show-windows, says the Jewelers’ Weekly. So far the most persistent have failed to discover the influence that impels the unique timepiece so accurately to record the hours and minutes. A short time ago Mr. Wollman made an electric clock that attracted attention, not only in Council Bluffs, but in expert circles elsewhere The mysterious clock is far ahead of the electric apparatus in many re- ■ spects. In appearance it resembles the colored alcohol signs in a drugstore window, being simply two glass globes placed one above the other. They are supported by a delicate pedestal, which is notched to show that it does not conceal' mechanism. The base is a piece of solid cherry wood turned out eight inches in diameter. From this the slender pedestal rises and supports the first alobe, which is about seven inches in diameter. On this glove is a dial marking the minutes. Screwed to the base is 1 a solid metal hand which points to the minutes as they go by, the globe making one complete revolution in eacii hour. A-bote this is a smallerglobe, about fouf^inches in diameter, with a dial around its equator indicating the hours. A piece of silver-plated steel spring bent in the form of a figure 3 is screwed to the base, forms the top support for the two globesand carries the stationery hand that points out the hours on the smallerglobe, which revolves once in twelve hours. The globes are of thin and very transparent glass and have no apparent connection with each other at the top of the base, except by the delicate pivots that penetrate only a small fraction of an inch into the glass and form the axes upon which the globes revolvc. Another peculiarity that renders the mystery of the mechanism still more profound is the fact that either of the globes can bo revolved backward or forward on their delicate pivots with great rapidity and without ‘injury. W r hen the motion ceases they resume their functions, losing only I the time occupied in spinning them. The whole device is set on a mirror in the showcase and can be picked up ' and examined at will. The mystery is the force that moves the globes so accurately and continuously, one just twelve times faster than the other, and both in perfect time with the jeweler's regulator, which looks down upon the strange device as much mystyfied as the mechanical expert who critically examines the novel clock, or the street gamin who gazes upon it through the show window. It has been intimated that sunlight or heat ' is the motive power, but Mr. Wollman 1 lias disproved this by placing the j timepiece in the shadow. Witli the t‘xception of Uie glass ulnbes e a puzzle until ^Pffsniaker sees fit to reveal his secret. Il hat a Baby L>i<l in One Hour. Uncle Will, the good-natured bachelor of the family, was left in charge of the baby one day while every one else was out, and out of curiosity he made a list of what the baby did in j one hour. Here it is: i 1. Yelled fifteen minutes without taking breath. (Unde Will declares solemnly that this is a true statement.') 2. Pulled out enough hair from his uncle's head and whiskers to stuff a sofa-pillow. 3. Cracked the wall-paper as high i as he could reach with a poker. 4. Broke a sterescope by sitting 1 down on it. 5. Swallowed six buttons and a good part of a spool of thread. 6. Emptied the contents of his mother’s work-basket down the furnace register. 7. Tried to squeeze the head of the cat into a tin cup, and was stratched badly in the attempt. 8. Knocked the head off a fine wax doll belonging to his older sister by trying to drive a tack into a toy wagon with it. 9. Fell off the edge of the whatnot, and brought down with him two costly vases which were ruined. 10. Broke two panes of windowglass with a cane which uncle let him have. 11. Fell into the coal-hod and spoiled his new white dress. 12. Set fire to the carpet while uncle was out of the room hunting up something to amuse him. 13. Crawled under the bed and re- ’ fused to come out unless uncle would g>ve him the molasses jug. 14. Got twisted into the rungs of a cnair, which had to be broken to get him out. 15. Poured a pitcher of water into , his mother’s best shoes. Hi. Finally, when he saw his mother i I coming, he ran out to the porch, and I tumbled off the steps, making his : ■ nose bleed and tearing a hole a foot square in his dress. Ami yet Uncle Will thinks that boy will make something yet! Picked Out a Queer Text. A good story is told of a Chinaman who is employed as a cook in a California family. He recently saw in a confectioner’s window a huge cake on which was a motto made of frosted sugar. And knowing that his master and misstress were very religous, being specially gwen to reading the ! Bible, he determined to give them a pleasant surprise by making a cake with a text from the Bible on it. He wasn’t very familiar with the Bible, I but he happened to have some tracts in his room which contained numer-

ous “texts” and he concluded to use ' one of these. So he went to work, made a most beautiful cake, and with truly oriental patience emblazoned it with a text. But the feeling of the family may be imagined when John proucfly placed his masterpiece on the table and they read on it these words: “Ye generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?” An Eccentric Artist. Turner’s landscapes were radient with poetry and power, but the artist himself was a riddle. A brother artist, Mr. Richard Redgrave, who knew him well, wrote in his “diary” that Turner’s advice to artists was worth much, if understood, but that usually it was so mysteriously given as to be an enigma. It would be conveyed to the artist by the wave of a hand, or by a poke in the ribs and a significant pointing to some part of his picture, with “Humph! Why did you do that?” During his active life, his dress and the furniture of his house showed, that he despised show. But when he was about to leave tlie world he expressed the desire to be buried in St. Paul’s Cathedral, and carried there in a regulation hearse, followed by mourning coaches tilled with artists. The funeral was in midwinter, the hour 9 o’clock in the morning, and the artists came to the house expecting—what is usual in England under such circumstances—that a luncheon would be provided for them. They were shown into a dingy, I dirty room, Turner's gallery, covered with a fusty matting, hung with stained draperies which did not conceal the broken plastering patched with newspapers. But not a biscuit, nor a glass of water, was offered to the hungry mourners. Turner had never been known, when alive, to feed any one in his own house, and it seemed as if he was determined that no one should be fed there when he was dead. The gallery was emjity of everything except pictures painted by himself. Some of t hem, wonders of art. were dropping from their canvases. Turner had valued one of these so highly. ' that he always declared that he would be wrapped in it when he was buried. One day he asked Chant rev, the . sculptor, if as his executor he would ! carry out his wishes on that point. “No doubt,” he bluntly answered, , “I shall bury you rolled up in your picture, if it is one of the conditions of your will; and take you up the next day and unroll you.”—Youth’s Companion. Nearly I-lkw Solomon’s Case. At Janesville, Wis., a case, said to be without a parallel in the courts of J the world, has been decided by Judge '' Bennett. Property worth $30,000 of a child was involved, and the question ' raised was that of paternity. Lelia Hurd Ingle was divorced from Andrew Ingle, of Fulton, Nov. 15, , i uL, death of Sarah’s grandfather. Silas Hurd, and the subsequent death of her mother, the child became heir to I $30,000. Shuman insisting that she ' was his child took charge of the prop- ■ erty. 1 Not for a year afterward did Ingle! ‘ : have an idea that the girl was his I ‘ ! daughter. He was led to believe that ’ u she was born nine months aft -r the | j second marriage instead of live j months. When Sarah’s younger • I sister died, however, the age that was ■ I put on the coffin plate showed that I Sarah, being just a year older, was ! I four months older than was supposed. ■ 1 She would thus be the daughter of , ! Ingtr under the law covering the pa- 1 i ternity of children born within eight J ■ months after a divorce. But under 1 ' : another law, which declares all chi'd- | ren born in lawful wedlock to be , fruits of that union, she would be the j daughter of Shuman. The case would have gone to the [ jury but after hearing the evi-j :dence Judge Bennett took the I I case into his own hands, and ruled j for the plaintiff. He held Ingle to I be the father of the child, thus put- , ting the care of her property into the j hands of her guardian, John Hurd, i The remarkable resemblance of Sarah i to Mr. Ingle is spoken of as a strong j factot in the case. Clew.” “Well?” queried the detective from headquarters who had climbed three pairs of stairs on Griswold street in rej spouse to a call from an insurance < office, says the Detroit Free Press. | “Why, I gave a trampish-looking fellow a quarter to bring up some coal, and he had scarcely gone when I missed my spectacles,” replied the agent. “Gold-bowed?” “Yes, I suppose he could sell them for about a dollar.” “I know where they are.” “You do?” “Yes—on your forehead I” “Bless me! - ’ gaspea the agent as he put his hand up. “So they are! So ' theyare! Well, well.but I must be getting absent-minded! You needn't arrest the party.” “No.” “It seems that he simply intended i to take them, but had no show.” “I see.” “Just report ‘no clew,’and see that the papers don't get hold of it. That's all. Wonderful how smart you detectives are in unraveling mysterious cases. I must really speak a word in favor of the department some day. If the man had actually taken them I believe you’d have arrested him some time or other. Good day.” It must make the Czar of Russia turn green with envy when he reads of the puissant American walking delegate.
