If you stand upon a M n ai bluireti •

a few miles above thefetaith of the
Purgatoire, you will 'the specta

es dimly away the withling. sedgy
valley of the dreariest river of the
West—treeless, sandy, desolate. All
around you are the endless undula
tions of the wildernele. Beneath
you are the yet silent camps of those
who are here to-day *A gone to
morrow. Westward lb something
you anticipate rather than see: vague
and misty farms lying Upon the hori
zon. But while the world is yet
dark below and around you, and
there is scarce the faintest tinge of
gray in the East, if you chance to
look northward you will see some
thing crimson high up . , i against the
sky. At first it is aate glow,
shapeless and undefin ed„
Then it
becomes a cloud-castle, ;litattlement
ed and inaccessible, draped in mist
and hung about with a hovering
curtain of changing purple. But as
it grows whiter and clearer, the
vague outlines of , a, mighty shape
appear below it, stretching down
ward toward the earth: What you
see is the lofty pinnacle which has
gleamed first in the dying darkness,
sun-kissed and glorlded In the rosy
mornings of all the centuries. It is
Pike's Peak, sixty.? away.
Years ago, a liictiin i (he tihniad
lc instinct, named Lemuel pima, a
man who had forsaken his home in
the Missouri Bottoms for a gold
hunting journey to California, and
who, after many chang es , had again
started eastward, was finally stranded
upon the banks of the Arkansas,
within the magic circle ofprotection
around old Fort Lyon. Sims had
grown middle-agml in wandering,
and had consumed almost the last
remains of that dogged energy in
migration which is the characteristic
of his class, by the time - he reached a
spot than which it would have been ,
hard to find any more utterly want
ing in attractions. But he was not
alone, for he had a wife, who had
been his companion in alibis jour
neys, who had irregularly come in
upon his vicissitudes. In sending
those guests which are always un
welcome and never turned away, the
old man's fates had not been kind.
W hal .he needed was boys—boys of
whom hereafter should be made the
ranchers, the Indian fighters, the
hunters and the poker-players, who
should diligently follow in the foot
steps of their wild predecessors, and
live hard and die suddenly. When
Sims came to his last residence, the
order of march was as follows: First,
Sims, a hundred yards in advance,
gun in hand; secondly, two mules
and an old wagon, Mrs. Sims at the
helm; thirdly; three cows four sheep,
four dogs; and behind all, two frwk
led, brawny moceasfned girls. The
third and youngest,the darling of the
family—too young, indeed, for ser
vice—occupied a cozy nest among the
household goods, and peeped out
from beneath the tattered cover,
plump, saucy and childish content.
She had acquired the name of Chuck,
abbreviated from chiequila—"little
one"—and amid all the changes
which , befell her thereafter the name
clung taller as part of herself.
The Sims " outfit" was only an in
tegral portion of a cavalcade of such
strong enough for all purpose; of
mutual society and defence. Aft - nths
had passed since the family began this
last move. -The long summer days
had passed and the nipping night and
scanty pasturage were the cause of
the premature ending of the Journey.
Having stopped only for a night,
they had concluded to stay until
Spring, or some other time when a
spasm oft he migratory disease should
seize them. But the rough house of
cotton-wood logs Sims made with the
help of his family was a sheltered
nook, which soon became homelike.
There was game in abundance, and
what was not immediately consumed
the old man exchanged for groceries
at the post. What W 41.9 still more un
fortunate, Sims' house was near the
route of travel, and he could indulge
his love of gossip, as well as furnish
an occasional meal to travellers.—
When Spring came, the stock had
grown fat, and, save the mules. had
increased in number a hundred fold.
Impelled by the force of circumstanc
es; a small garden was enclosed, and
it come about that by June the. fron
tiersman and his family Wend thetn
selves prospering beyond anything
In their past history. The shanty
took upon itself the dignity of a
ranche; and in truthfulness it is ne
csary to state that the commodity
which met the readiest and most
profitable sale was a fluid which,
chemically speaking, it was slander
ous to call whiskey. "Sims'" became
known far and wide, and the propri
etor began to think himself gaining
upon the world, both inimoney and
in fame—two things which, In the
unfortunate constitution of society,
are not suffelently distributed. But
this new era of prosperity was.• not
due to Sim's management. It grew
solely out of the fact that he had
three daughters. The unfortunate
constitution of the family was the di
rect cause of its unwonted thrift. Any
white woman In such a place is an
enticement not to be resisted by the
average plains-tnan,and "Sims' gals"
were celebrites over an extent of
country as large as the State of New
York.

But as time passed and the small
.herds Increased, the females became
objects of a still profounder Interest.
They were spoken of as heiresses.
Nevertheless, at the pinch no amount
of money could have married either
of the two eldest daughters. They
were tall, gaunt and coarse. They
were as ignorant as Eve, and had
performed the duties of masculinity
so long that either of them was near
ly a match for a cinnamon bear. Not
so with the youngest. The most
courtly and polished dames in the
land haverseldom displayed as much
in the way of personal endowments
as this one rose among the thistles.
Fair-skinned and blue-eyed, strong
and graceful, petted from Infancy
and nurtured in comparative ease,
healthful in sentiment as in body,
she was a special attraction, and
came seldom in contact with the
rough characters who frequented
her father's house. And she had the
mind of the family. Her opinions
.were the law of the house, and she
Occupied her autocratic pailtion
without embarrassment and ruled
without check. Old Sims was her
man-servant, and her mother was
only a privileged associate and advi
ser. As for. her huge sisters, they
continually rebelled and always
obeyed.
_There is a mysterious law
of primogeniture, by which chit-,
dren sometimes embody the charac
teddies of distant ancestors, and,
diactrtling the 'nearer- family traits
atuteirctimstances,reprixtuce the vi
ces, virtues and countenances which
have been mouldering for a century.
There must have been some rare
blood in ttte Sims family, for this
last scion of a race which had been
subjected to all the influences of
frontier—hardship and toil in the
Alleghenies, ague and laziness in
the Missouri Bottoms, and poverty
always—was totally unlike tier fam
ily and her surroundings. The
sprawling feet, gaunt limbs, great
brown hands, coarse complexions.
and carroty hair of her sisters and
mother, were things they had apart.
Nobody knew or ever asked how
Chuek had learned to read, or be
come possessed ofeertain well-thumb
ed books and stray newspapers. No
one ever inquired into the mystery
of how her garments came to fit her
round figure with a neatness which
was a miracle to the uninitiated, or
why the yellow coils lay so graceful
ly upon her shapely head. Finally,
the prevading forms which directed
all things in and around the ranch
came to be almost unquestioned. A
beauty with a will is power; a beau
ty with brains and ,a will is the most
complete of despo t".
The Sims family had now been
five years in this locality, and, main
ly through the ability of the young
est child, now a mature woman, aid
ed by the circumstances of a fortu
nate locution, had acquired -cattle,
money and respectability. The
money and respectability wereeasily
cared for,because Chuck carried them
both upon her person; but the herd
which was gathered nightly into
the corral was the lure of final de
struction. The charmed circle of
safety which was drawn around the
military post was an indefinite and
uncertain one, and the incursions of
Apaches are governed by no conven
tionality. After long delay and fre
quent smaller thefts, came the final
swoop which took all.
Old Sires and Chuck started to go
to the post. The presence of the
latter was necessary to keep the for
mer from getting drunk and failing
into the hands of military minions,
to be incarcerated in the guard-house.
In the perfect peacefulness and seren
ity of the early morning, it seemed
impossible that danger and death
could lie in wait so near. As the old
man dug his heels into the flanks of
his mule, and Chuck looked compla
cently back from her seat upon a
pony only less willful than his rider,
the two little dreamed that it was
the last time they were ever to see
"Sims' Ranch." As they threaded
the intricacies of the trail, Chuck, of
course, the lead, the old man la
boring diligently to bring out the
capacity of his mule wherever the
path was wide enough to permit his
riding beside hisdaughter. In truth,
he had something to say to her con
cerning those matters in which girls
are always unwilling to talk. A
confidential conversation with his
daughter was one of Sim's ungrati
fied ambitions—a thing which, in
late years, he had often attempted
and as often failed in accomplishing.
She cared for him, was kind and lov
ing, but seemed to have no ideas In
common with him ; and de what he
would, he could not keep pace with
her. When two persons are thus to
gether, there is frequently an uncon
scious Idea of thoughts of one in the
mind of the other, and the girl kept
steadily ahead. But the object was
one which weighed on the old man's
mind ; and despairing of nearer ap
proach, he presently called out from
behind :
"Chuck ?"
"Well, what is i ? " came from
the depths of the sun-bonnet in front.
"I want ter know now, honest,
what yer F oin' to do with them two
fellers which air one or t'tother of
theta allus 'round our house lookin'
fur you. It looks as though Sairey,
bein' the oldest, shud hev some kind
of a chance—and she did afore you
growed up—hut I rec'on,.now, ther's
no use thinken' uv that till you're
gone. Now, as atween these fellers,
I'd like to know"—and plaintively—
"'pears to me like I've a right to
know, which uv'em you're goin' to
take. I cudent be long a choosin, of
l'was me. W'y Tom Harris is big
an' hansum, and rides jest forty mile
every week fur to git a sight uv ye.
I kin tell from that feller's looks that
he'd swim the Arkansas and fight
anything fur ye."
The face in the sun-bonnet grew
red as a pansy at the mention of the
name; but the old man did not see
that, and continued;
"But I'm mainly uneasy on ac
count of there bein' twolich. When
Tom an' the slick-lookin' feller from
Maxwell's is here at #111391110 time,
they pass looks which means every.
thing that two slat fellers can do fur
to win. I don't like t'other feller;
neither does the old woman. He'd
do a'rnost anything, in my opinion,
an' if you don't make choice atween
'em soon, them fellers 'II fight, an'
that's Fortin."
The face which had been rosy grew
a little pale, as he talked. The old
man had told his daughter nothing
she did not already know; but she
was startled to think that the hatred
of the two men had been noticed by
another. The question In Chuck's
heart was not which of the two men
she would take, but how to get rid of
the disappointed one. Therefore,
woman-like, she had encouraged nei
ther of them. To her acute mind the
difficulty had , been a trouble for
weeks, and the wordsuf her father
were a fresh cause for disquiet.
Old Sims, having thus broken the
ice, would have continued, but his
daughter stoppe d . him with an ex
clamation, and pointed to the sand at
their feet. Sims approached and
peered cautiously at the spot his
daughter indicated. There they were,
not an hour old, the ugly In-turned
moccasin-tracks of four, eight, a doz
en Indians. In a woman, timidity
and wit are often companions toeach
other, and Chuck drew in her horse
with a determined air. "I don't like
that." said she; "I'm going back It
can do us no harm If the herd is driv
en home, and I want to see it done,"
and she turned her horse.
th;%Vuse'Y'? now

ARGUS.
"ion can go alone, if you think
best," she answered.
Before he could reply she was gOne,
and. irritated by what he considered
a useless panic, he jogged on contin
uing his journey toward the post.
The sight of an Indian trail eight
miles from home seemed a poor
cause for fright, even in a woman.
Sims thought, as he continued his
journey ; and it was not that whiett
caused hr to retreat ; it was to avoid
being questioned further upon the
topic he had broached. t'Curi's crit
ters is witninen," he said to himself,
as he Jogged on. Sims spent that
night, unconscious of its horrors,
happy drunk in the post guard
house.
An apprehension which she could
hardly understand, filled the mind
of the girl, as she urged her pony to
ward home. Her father's talk added
to her excitement, she thought of
what Tom Harris, strong, daring and
handsome, would do at such a time,
His tall figure, cherry Flee and hand
some drew, as he sat on his horse at
her father's door, blithe and fresh af
ter his ride of forty miles for her
sake, came vividly before her. Even
in the midst other anxiety and ner
vousness she felt that she and Tont,
united in purpose and effort, could
do anything in this world. Such
were the strong woman's thoughts of
a man whom she loved because he
was stronger than she. Two miles
from home, and the rider's heart
sank at the sight of a column of
smoke on the verge of the familiar
horizon. Frightened, indeed, now,
she urged her pony to his utmost,
and at the crest of the 11111 that over
looked the nook in which stood her
home, the truth burst upon her that
while her father had talked to her of
lovers, and while she was yet specu
lating upon the foot-prints in the
sand, the Indian torch was being ap
plied, and now herds, house, mothers
and sisters were all gone.
Amid all the conflicting griefs and
terrors of the moment arose an over
whelming sense of lonelitum and
helplessness. The beautiful and sub
tle strength of a woman tuay guide,
but it can neither guard nor revenge.
There seemed to be no help, and the
girl wished in her heartshe had go:.e
with the rest. But she was not so
entirely alone, for as she c.ame nearer
she saw the tall figure of Tom Harris
newly alighted from an all-night's
ride, standing by his panting horse,
so entirely occupied with a despairing
contemplation of the smouldering
ruins that he had not yet noticed
her uppmac . But when he turned
gir p
and -reel) la
id 'her, his OWL face
took col like a flash. In truth,
7.4 i
Tom's leness way not the pallor of
fear. ords were inadequate to ex
p . the tone in which he had cursed
th Apaches, by all that was holy
and all that was evil, as he stood
contemplating the burning house,
and thinking with a pang that pene
trated his very soul that she was
among the victims. But when he
heard then turned and saw her, all
was thenceforth fair and serene to
Tom Harris. With a frontiersman's
quick perception of circumstances
and situations of this kind, he un
derstood, and asked no questions.
"The Paches are clear gone with
everything, Miss," he said. "They
done it in ten minits. Come, get
down now, won't ye? That pony's
about done tor, and—w'y, now,
Miss, 'taint no use grieven'. Ye
can't bring 'cm back, and, ye can't
catch the Injun.s,—not to-day. i tfll
be even with 'em if 1 live, but l'kre
knowed as many sich things in my
time, and—"_ ..
Toni stopped for he had a sense of
hnw tame and meaningless his rude
efforts at coin fort were to the silent
and horror-stricken woman before
him, whose whole soul seemed en
grossed in a struggle with the calam
ity which had befallen her. The
well-meaning fellow went some dis
tance away and waited. And while
he waited the white, despairing face
grew whiter, and she slipped help
lessly from the pony and lay a limy
and helpless heap upon the ground.
This was the time of the - frontiers
man's utter despair. In all his life's
vcissitudes there had been none like
this. But all his endeavors were the
sensible ones of a practical man. lie
knew nothing of what he ought to
do for the restoration of lost consci
ousness, and was afraid to try. But
with the celerity of habit he took the
thick blankets from his horse and
hurriedly spread them In the shade
by the hank-side. Then he wade a
pillow of his saddle, and with a
blush that rose to his temples, and
strong as lie was, fairly staggering
under the burden, laid her upon the
couch he had made. He took his
own soft serape, with its crimson
stripes, and spread it for a•covering ;
filled his canteen and placed it near
her ; and then. sat down afar off and
picked holes in the ground with his
long knife, and whistled softly, and
sighed and groaned within himself.
Tom loved the woman who lay
there, had because he loved her he
was afraid of her. Most men expe
rience the same feeling once in their
lives.
But there had been another and an
unseen spectator of all this. We car
hot tell by what pezuliarconjunctiou
of the planets th.ngs fall out in this
world as they do. But while Tom
was executing his plans of comfort
the "slick lookin' feller from Max
well's" was watching afar off. He
came no nearer, because he did not
at first understand thesituation. The
burning building suggested Indians,
and he wanted no closer acquaintance
with them, should they still be there.
But while he watched he saw and
recognized the two persons, and a
pang of jealousy entered his heart.
Then he staid away because he de
sired to husband for future misrepre
sentation and use the circumstances
to which he had been an unseen wit
ness, and finally rode away, baffled,
pondered in his cowardly heart some
scheme which could harm his for
midable rival
The afternoon passed slowly away,
and still 'Porn Harris kept watch.
Occasionally he crept on tiptoe and
looked at his charge, She seemed
asleep. Finally he hoppled the two
horses .to prevent escape, gathered
some of the vegetables in the
late garden, and stifled a strong man's
hunger with radishes. green toma
tws and oilless lettuce. lie could
afford to wait, for he was engaged in
what he wondered to think was, in
the midst of the smoking signs of
rapine and captivity, the most de
lightful task of his life. Ile did not

the couch had opened her eyes, and

Through the long watches

footsteps of the prowlersof the night,
and listened and waited. Anon he

and listened to the breathing of the

the happy consciousness that he and
love had all the wilderness to them
selves. In the early morning he
heard thedank of sabres and the hum
of voices, and a troop of cavalry ap
peared from the post. and among
them Old Sims, red-eyed and trernb
ling,but sobered by apprehension and
grief. The man from Maxwell's had
told of the raid at the post, and he
had reasons of his own for doing so.
They left men and means for the con-

post and Old Sims returned with her.
As for Tom the soldiers gave him
something to eat, and he mounted
his horse and accompanied them up
on the trail. his step was as light
and his heart as merry as though he
had slept in his bed, for as he looked
back the last time the face he Saw
was sad and white, hut the eyes were
the eyes of a woman who looks after
one she loves.
Frail of body but strong of pur
grthe unconquerable spirit of old
i ) :' daughter employed Itself in
directing the erection of a house upon
the spot, which had so long been a
home. In less than a month she and
Rims were again established in the
prairie nook, in a cabin not differing
materially from the former, but sur
rounded by a palisade which bade
defiance to Indian assault. The
couple were not poor, and while the
old man drowned the past in half
drunk insanity, the dependents of
the house did the work the two
daughters had once done. Chuck,
the stately and sad, but softened,
seemed daily to wait and watch for
something which never carne, and of
which she never spoke. The troops
with Which Tom liarris went away

running fight, which was duly•men-
Untied in general-orders, but in which
they had suffered no losses. If Tom
had returned to his place, why did
he not come again to Sims' ranch ?
Chuck said to herself. And then
there was his beautiful serape; he
might even come for that. But _he
did 'tot. The man from Maxwell's
come ; and so placid was his recep
tion that he went away again With
bitterness in his heart.
He (lime again. The pale-faced
woman "had drooped a little, he
thought, and cared even less for his
distinguished company than before.
But even while she cooled his ardor
with a grand dignity, she seemed
waiting for some one to come in, and
listening for some foot to step. BUt
lately this man had become the pus.
sensor of a secret which filled his
heart with exultation. He learned
it at the post, where it was mention
ed by careless soldiers, ignorant of
its fearful import. The lossof a man
is nothing, and the few of them who
had been lately at Sim's did not even
know of the fact. The only circum
stances about the affair at all remark
able in the eyes of those soirs.of Mars
was, that a man whose name was
hardly known and now not remem
bered, who went with them only "fur
fun" and through peculiar hatred of
Apaches, should be the saily man to
fall. True, he was foremost; was a
splendid-lookiog fellow; and they.
thought it a pits, and buried him
where he fell. Therefore this suitor
of Sim's daughter, possessed of the
cunning which sometimes defeats it
self, bethought him of this chance
shot, and deemed that if it did him
no good it might at least wound the
placidity which he hated. So one
day as he stood at the door, smarting
under a cool reception and no good
by at all, he remarked to Sims:
"Seems-to me, old man, you and
yer darter is waitin' fur su thin' that'll
never come. She needn't slight me
a-wattin tur better cxrmpany. Tom
Harris was killed by the 'Paehes
which burned yer shanty; and that's
a fact ye kin think uv at leisure."—
And he laughed to himself liken-hy

Old rims staggered in to the house
where his daughter sat, and dropped

of the tidings he bore, and he hesita-
ted in the task of diselo4ure.
"Chuck," he said, "do you 'mem
ber that day you found the njun
trail ?"
She started, and nodded assent.
"Do ye 'member my talk about
them two lovers o' yours? Eh?
Well, Tom ain't a-comin, any more,
'cause he's,—now I can't help it, dar
ter,—Tom's dead." "
She must have known it in her
heart before, she changed so slightly
at the word. Perhaps she had only
hoped against hope, having long ago
learned as sne lay on the couch he had
made for her through the Summer
night, that the man whose heart had
been measured in the strength and
sleeplesstie4s and honor and courage
of a great love would have returned
had he been alive. She only arose
and tottered to the bedside, whose
topmost mior WAS a bright. serape;
but she never leitit again. The one
mighty love of a life in whose sordid
surroundings it was the one glimpse
of something brighter and happier,
was as much reality as though it had
been plighted a thousand times. The
ancestral courage and hope which
had come to her through such degen
erate veins helped her to die.

OUR STATE TICKET.
It ia not the most cheering sign to
find our exchanges engaged in prov
ing who is responsible for the nomi
nation of our present State ticket.
It is unpleasant to take part in the
discussion, becvuse by so doing we
are subject to the suspicion of wish
ing to injure some part, of it at least,
if we chance to differ with those
who are always ready to endorse
whatever is necessary for success.
Nevertheless, we don't wish to see
everything put afloat, go for verity
unless it really is such. We Oust
therefore dissent from that cittV
written article eminating fr e
east, and so extensively re-produced,
either in whole or in part, by most
of our neighbors of the west, in
which we are informed that Gen.
Cameron, so far from being respon
sible for the nomination of our pres
ent State Ticket, was in fact opposed
to its nomination—except, perhaps,
the candidate for Judge—that in fact,
liens. Hartranft and Allen were ta
ken as friends of Gov. Curtin. Now
the fact is that Gen. Hartranft was
put in nomination six years ago by
the friends of Gov. Curtin, over the
Cameron candidate, "Jack Ileis
taind." Is altio true that Gen. Al
len came first to the front by a simi
lar influence. But it is not the most
pleasing reflection that many of our
public men after remaining a while
at the State Capitol form new allian
ceA. We are not advised as to
whether these gentlemen have for
merly renounced their former at
tachment for their former friend.
But one thing is certain, that they
have both become acceptable to his
old rival, Gen. Cameron, At the
organization of Gmntfs Cabinet, an
effort was made to have Pennsylva
nia represented, in the pen of
Gov. Curtin. His appointment was
demanded by the popular sentiment
of the State. It is due to lien. Har
4tntuft to say that he went all the
way to Washington to urge Curtin's
appointment. fit of the represen
tative men of the State outside of the
Cameron ring endorsed the proposi
tion. Cameron and hisclan, howev
er, protested. From all parts of the
State his friends r - ere summoned to
Washington to assist in the struggle.
Hon. S. A. Purviance, in company
with some others, left their peaceful
homes, and "post haste" repaired to
Washington, to join in the protest.
Soon he dispatched back, in sub
stance that the victory was complete
—that they had positive assurance
that Curtin would not be in the Cab
inet. The rest of this painful histo
ry is not forgotten. Bone—unknown
to fame. but afterwards found to be

Cameron from responsibility In this

slight of claiming credit when any
thing favorable is accomplished, as
also of dodgine responsibility in ease
