THE TIlArrER'S STORY, During the spring of 1854 our party was encamped on the headspring; of bap Juan, a region as desolate in its waste of rucky liills and mountains its it was f mil fill in furs the object of our expedition and the most dangerous savages, who helii full sway at the early time at which I wri'e. A par adise for trappers it was, bey o til a doubt. There were four of us from the settlement of the Colorado bold, rough, athletic, not one below six feet, full formed and muscu lar. A rude but of logs were used as our headquarters and depository for the furs, which, from our success and industry, had become a largo aud valuable collection. Within the hut were rude accommodations which our isolaliou from the settlements made scarce from necessity. ISlankets swung from each of the four corners served for beds, while in Uie centre of the room was a roughly constructed hearth. About this hearth and agaiust the walls were piled and hung the fruits of our winter's labor. There was much of real pleasure in the wild rolicking style of life that fasci nates the trapper, aud privatious which he enduies only lend a charm to the roving nature. Theseason was drawing toa close; the snow was beginning to disappear in the valleys, and multitudes of rivulets were lashing themselves into foaming furies as they hasteued down to join the swelling river. Eaily one morning I unslting my rifle, piepaied a small luncheon, and started for the tnountaineous legion to the northward of the camp in quest of game to supply the larder. Hoping to cross the vailuy before the warmth of the rising sun should con vert it into an impassable slough, I harden ed forward to reach the highest mountains. I reached them just ns the sou began to flood the valley with al; its golden warmth atid boauty. t'ausing 011 a lofty crest, I PAUSE, P0SDEB, AND PURCHASE rcc ;utJy returned to Lovotto from the Eastern cities with a large, varied and elegant stock of FAtt KM W18TS& 00008 1 Welt ere bonjrlit from first Imnds for cash, and will he sold for cash fit lower prices than buyers on credit can n fiord to take, Come uen, every 000 y , and see how easy it is to save enough in Your purchases to pay rou for a journev'of twentv mile, if "need !w, to reach our store as all can readily realize by examining the following wonderful I- -t v rr'n Stiaar. o. lb '".to lit.. i tin-rn OfTeo. tt i'hs. 1 1 OF 3E 2: 0 3S S - Tgii eat :viuit;;: Men's Rods at K and upw'd.

To Use Fonlli lnj the valley, stretching in its serpentine course until it disafipeaied in some 1-jw-lying lulls, to tbe north were tbe nitiuiitains iled one above anotlier, till their snow-capped tops lost themselves within approacbug clouds. This is only a fiut idea i-f tbe wonderful beauty which held me for a moment. I had seen this view many times before, but each time new beauties were added, aud with a warm spring sun reflecting from (lie fiosty lops, it was iudesci ibably beautiful. Reaching a narrow defile that led to a section most frequented by large game, I pushed rapidly ouwaid. The sun mounted higher iu the heavens and tbe beautiful frost work, so lovely when the first rays of sunlight made it look like glittering dia monds, began ovw to melt into tiny 8 ream- j lets. By noon the place where I most expected to find a plenteous supply of game was reached ; but to my smpriae there was not the least visible sign of any. The most careful survey disclosed nothing but tracks sever- days old. To return emp'y-htided to my companions was by no means a pleasant idea. It did not take me long to decide to push to the northeast and risk the possibility of a night's detention in the mountain. Mile after mile I climbed over the rough precipitous route. How far I had wandered from the camp was not easy to determine ; but as the afternoon was drawing to a close, and the sun disappear ed behind the lofly peaks about me, a sense of 'extreme fatigue pervaded my frame. I was completely at a loss to explain the total disappearance of all signs of animal life where before bad afsvays been an abundance ; and the only reasonable con clusion for me to form was that some wau dering band of Navajoes bad pieceded me. I had advanced but a couple of miles fuilher lu the wilderness of mountains when the oncoming darkness and sighs of the approaching storm made me seek some shelter for the night. Half-way up a steep declivity I discovered a cluster of trees which promised a partial sliel'er, and a supply of biushwood for a fire. A few moments biougbt me to this haven. The trees were scrubby and afforded little or no protection ; but, thankful for the benetitof that small favor, I went to woik earnestly to rake together dry sticks and leaves for a fire by which to roast some of tbe bear sleak which I bad pie pa red for my lunch. nrth Rime difficulty the wood lighted. entrance, and made my way into the new quarters. It proved to be a rough apart roent, extending about fifty feet into the side of tbe mountain, ar.d widening from the entrance to tbe back wall. It was a comparatively dry and very desirable shel ter from the approaching strm. A large pile of brush was easily passed into the cavity, where I speedily removed my sup per. When the feeble light of the fire illumi nated the dingy place, I was not so partic ularly at my ease as my first impression led me to hope I would be. Tbe indications were quite too evident for me to be mista ken ; I bad usurped the abode of a grizzly bear. 1 was not then so fearful of meeting this terrible monster as I am now, and I was not at all inclined to give it up to bru in ; it was so much more comfortable, compared to the open air, protected from the storm which was now beating against tbe mountain side with increasing fury. "Ah," was my inwa id ejaculation, tbis storm will certainly drive bruin back to bis borne and precipitate a meeting with me." I felt confident at meeting tbe brute with an advantage to myself. With my rifle I was a sure shot ; added to this were two strong shooting navy revolvers and a relia ble Lunting knife. There was no idea of sleep for we while things were in this con dition ; for I made a brisk tire near the entrance and with a large rock at my back I awaited patiently, in a sitting posture, witl my rifle freshly primed and cocked for instant use at my side, for the appear ance of my enemy. The rain was now pouring in torrents upou the snow, abeady softened by tbe approaching spring, aud, with the melting snow poured dowti the mountain at a fear ful rate. My attention was shortly diiect ed to the top of the entrance, which I had first oot iced with only a casual glance, but upon examining it closer found it to be a large flat stone. Of course there was nothing alarming in this, and when the water began to trickle througn the rocks, making it necessary for me to remove the fire further wi bin tbe shelter of the cavern, my alarm was nol ex cited in the least. One two long, long hours passed by ; still I remained watching for tbe coming of the dreadful creature still was the torrent of water pouring about the entrance. Hark ! what is that grating sound ! In stinctively I raised roy rifle to my shoulder and waited. Moment succeeded moment, but Still no appearance from the vague darkness beyond. Again it sounded, sharper and more clearly defined than before ! What could it be? A half formed fear filled me. Was everything right? In a moment more the suspense was broken ; an enemy mote deadly than the bear bad already faced me. The water bad worn away the sandy soil between the rocks, causing the large stone at the entrance to fall, completely choking up tbe way. I was a prisoner! A full sense of my position filled me with tbe wildest alaim. Vainly I put my shoulder to tbe huge rock and essayed to push it from its lodgment; for it only seemed tbe firmer, and worked the harder. Turn my thoughts whichever way I might, tbe awful, sickening idea of starv ing slowly continually bauuted me. The fire was blazing brightly, and tbe dim shadow danced fantastic figures on the wall ; the rain beat down with unabated fury, and the distant flashes of lightning revealed a few small crevices about the entrance ; the low growling or the bear, that bad now returned, and the scratching of its sharp claws against tbe rock that shut li mi out as completely as 1 was shut in, all combined to make my reveiies of tbe most unpleasant nattue. 'It will be two days," thought I, when calmness ruled my mind, 'before my com rades take any steps to look for me. They will not be alarmed at my being out for one night, and tbe second night's absence will only excite their aux'ety, not greatly, indeed, for they trust to my skill aud strength to carry me through an ordinaiy conflict. Two days to excite their alarm, and one to reach me, if they take a direct route for me, which is not at all likely, and tbe terrible storm bad washed away tbe faintest trace of my trail. Three days of living death at least and they may be lengthened until too laie !"' My luncheon had barely satisfied tbe hunger caused by tbe hard day'a struggle over the mountaius ; there was an iuex banstable supply of water witbiu three feet of me, but alas ! not a drop that I could get. Casting my eye upon tbe floor, I resolv ed to gain what refreshment I might iu a sound sleep. There was no fear of a pos sible intrusion from any source, aud the sweet oblivion of sleep soon robbed me of all consciousness of the horror in store for me. Would thai tbe same oblivion bad covered my former experience I With the same dim rays of sunlight faintly struggling through the narrow crevices I was astir, with mind and body refreshed for tbe lalror before me. I bad a keen appetite, but it did not assume alarming proportions. Tbe storm bad passed entiiely away aud the sun rode the heavens majestically, unriimmed by tbe slightest cloud. Yet, notwithstanding the br'.lliancy without, the cavern was only dimly lighted. A fresh fire dispelled the morning's gloom. How to get out was tbe next thing. The first step I took was to estimate tbe weight of tbe rock from its dimensions. My philosophy, I confess, wig lusty from loi.g disuse, but this was the result: Six feet long, four feet wide and three feet thick seventy-two cubic feetof solid rock. Specific gravity of water to rock, one to two and eighty -three hundredths. Multi plying this result by tbe weight of one cu shape, and was wearing rapidly away. My hope here was of short duration. An unlucky turn snapped tbe slender blade at its hilr, and it fell ringing into a crevice as completely beyond my reach as was tbe sweet liberty 1 was struggling so bard to obtain. Tbe only hope left me was that my companions should find me before tbe last spaik of life was extinguished. How enn they find me when I am eight or ten mile from the track they would natuially take to look for me ? rovyn a t last. HOW HAERT n-OTEE OOT THE SCTIOOL A I CRA5BERRT GCICH. "Mister, no dotibt yon hav n!l tl learnin1 that's required in a school teacher, but it wants more than leatnin' to make t man able to teach school in Pranberiy Gulcb. You'll soon find that out if you tiy. We've bad three who tried it on. Oue lays there in the graveyard ; anotbei The first day wore away in vain attempts, t lost bis eye and left before noon-time foi tbe second night passed with but little dis tress. The second dar brought me face to face with the grim, horrible pain of inani tion. Each hour increased my misery toa great degree ; thirst began to add its hor rors to those of starvation. That day and tbe fallowing night wore their slow length away ; the third morning dawned and crept slowly through ite long, slow hours. seventy-two hours without food and wa ter. My stalwait frame was weakening ; I am tough aftd have under tbe terrible abstinence. Hope was ; Harry, laugulng waning as my body weakened. Ureat the benefit of bis health. He hasn't been back since. Now, yon'ie of sleuder bui H, and all your learoiu will only make it worse, for all our youug folks are roughs aud dou't stand no nonsense." This was what one of tbe trustees of the district said to my fiiend Harry Flotee when be made application for the tbe vat cant position of teacher. "Let me try. I know lam slender, but. Strong will," sniJ Heavens ! would they come too late ? "Jst aB you like. There's tbe school It was horrible for me in the vigor of manhood to tamely starve there ! What more could I do? Did Providence will that ; I should die thus? They must certainly be j looking for me. I took off my leather jacket, spread it flat upon the floor and poured tbe conteuts of my powder flask upon it. I found that there were eighty mail charges. These I determined to fire at regular intervals, hoping that I might attrect tbeir attention by the reports. By shooting every half hour during the day. , and once an hour during tbe nieht. I would le able to keep up these signals for two days longer, before my stock was ex- bausted. If they tarry beyond that time, : God have mercy on me ! I placed my rifle : close to a crevice and fired. The sound of the charge revei tieia-ed through the , mountain tops. If they are within three; or four miles of me they will certainly hear that. During tbe fourth day I fired regu ; larly, listening with feverish anxiety for some sound to maik their coming. My condition was now becoming appalling ; my form was emaciating, aud an intense thirst made my mouth and throat feel like a fiery furnace. The day passed, tbe night drew on ; but still they came not. , Sleep was a stranger to my aching eyes, ! and in my wakeful musings I was at boun teously laden tables, drinking great draughts from limpid springs. I was bor dering on insanity I 1 lie nftb day came. With great difficulty I raised roy rifle, now heavy in my weakness, to give the last few signals. Great blotches began to cover my limbs would complete iusanity follow ! j Of what, followed I remember only with ' the 'slightest shades of reason. On tbe sixth morning my last si;nal was fired, : and in tbe last frenzy of despair I com menced to scream to tbe full extent cf my weakened condition. Several times I sunk prone down with exhaustion, but I would rally for a mighty exertion. How . long I remained in this semi-catamoae state was difficult for rre todetermine ; but I was aroused by several reports of ri fles and the fierce bowling of a dying bear. Hope succeeded despair, and jrbh strength amazing to myself I put my cracked aud bleeding lips to tbe crevice and screamed iTimise and I'll have notice giveu if you want it done,'" said the trustee. "I do." said .Harry, "and I'll open next Monday at 9 a. M." Tbe notice was given and tbere was a good deal of excitement in the gulch and along tbe Yuba flats. Mote than fifty young people of both sexes made au ex cuae to drop into the tavern to get a sight at the fellow who thought be could ketp school in that distiict, and many a cou temptous glance fell ou tbe slender form and youthful face of tbe would-be-teachei. Eight o'clock on Monday morning came, and Hariy Flotee went down to the school bouse with a kty iu one band and a Talis in the other. "Ready to slope if te finds we're too much for him," said a cross-eyed, broad shouldered fellow of eighteen. The school bouse wa unlocked, and tbe new teacher went to tbe desk. Some of tbe young fellows went iu to 6ee what be was going to do, though school was not called. Harry opened bis valise and took out a large belt. Then, after buckling it around bis waist, be put three Colt's navy revolv ers there, each of six barrels, and a bow ie knife eighteen incbea in the blade. "Tbundei ! be means butiuess ?' mutter ed tbe crofes-eyed chap. The new teacher now took out a sqtiara card about four inches each way, walked to tbe other end of the school bouse and tacked it up against tbe wall. Returning to bis desk be drew a revolver fom his belt, and quiok as thougbt snt ball after ball into tbe card, till tbere were six balls In a spot not larger than a silver dollar. By this time the school boose half full of lirge boys and girl. Tbe liule ones were afraid to come in. Then tbe teacher walked ba'.f way down tbe room with tbe bowie knife in his baud, and threw it with so true a hand that is stuck quivering iu tbe very centre of tbe card.
