And wondered, asl ran, Low It was placed If I should find a measure Of Bold, or If the titles nt fair hinds And houses would be laid within my hands. I Journeyed many roads: I knocked at gates; 1 spoke to each wayfarer I met, and said, "A heritage awaits Me. Art not lliou tho bearer Of nuns'.' Some message sent to tnc whereby I learn which ttav my new possessions He'.'" Somo asked met lu naught lay beyond their dour; Snmi! smiled and would not tarry. Hi. I said that men ttcru Just behind who bore More gold than I could carry: And so the morn, the noun, the day were spent, While empty-handed up and down I went. At last ono crled.wlioso face I could not see, As tlirmiKb Hie mist he hasted, "Poor child! what ctllones have hindered thee. Till this whole day Is wasted? Hath no man told tlicu that thou art Joint heir With one named ClirlM, who waits the goods to share'.'" The one named Christ I sought for many data, In many places, vainly; I heaid men name Ids name In many ways, I saw lib temples plainly. Hut they who named lilm most gave me no sign To find him by or prove the heirship mine. And when at last 1 stood before his face, I knew him by no ioUjii, Save subtlo air of Joy that tilled tho place; Our greeting was not spoken ; In solium silence I recclu-d my share, Kneeling before niy Ilrothcr and "Joint heir." My share! No deed of houso or spreading lauds, As I hail dreamed; no measnro Hcaied up with gold; my Elder llrothcr's hands Had net er held such treasure. Foxes have holes, and birds In nests are fed My Ilrotlier hath not wh.'re to lat his head. My share!

For three months, 1 bad been prospecting at the cistern point.

It was about an hour after midday when I set out, thesky was overcast, the wind blustered up strong, and experi ence told me that a storm was brewing It was time for snow. I had been rid ing for two hours when I looked back over my trail. Font or five miles away two horsemen were coming up at a smart pace. Indians? I could not tell with the naked eye. I had it good tela scope with me, and one glance through the glasses proved that they were white men. Hunters? No! Prospectors? Xol Enemies? Yes!

PA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 188(5. shook their heads, looked nbout them In a startled way, and whispered: "The Mormons the Danltes!" I had taken the. utmost precaution. Several times I had seen white men nt a distance, but If they suspected my pres ence they had searched for me lu vain. As luck would havo It, now that I was ' off, these .keen watchers, these nevcr edccplng sentinels, had discovered me. Were they following me? I dlsmountd and clambered to tho top of a great lock twenty feet high, where I could secure a better view. They were dead on my trail. Not only that, but a gteat dog was running ahead of them with his nose to tho ground. Tho men might have lost my ttallon the broken ground; the dog would follow me to the death. The men wcro riding at a lope. Why? They were waiting until 1 left the moun tain to strike across tho prairie. Ilc hlnd some rock at tbe base of the moun tain I could hold half a dozen men at bay. Out on the prairie it would bo two to one. It was their business to kill and destroy, not to bo killed. 1 scrambled down from the rock and mounted and rode on, pushing my animals at a gal lop. I turned to look, and the pursuers had Increased their pace. I slowed dow n to a walk, and lot they did the same I Then, at a moderate canter, I rodo for ward for two hours, turning occasional ly to look over my shoulders. They were gradually drawing nearer. The atmosphere was thickening and tho af ternoon treating away, and they did not want to lose me In a storm or tho dark ness. Even when they had shortened the dlstanco to two miles they could not see me turn In my saddle. If I struck off on the prairie they would soon settle me. If I continued on along the base of the mountain what? Would they try to steal upon me before the coming of darkness?. If I turned at bay would they give It up as a bad job and ride away? No! they wcro pitiless, merciless, determined. They would cling to my trail as the wolf fol lows a wounded deer. If I took a posi tion of defense they would besiege me. If I rode on I must leave a trail for tbe kcen-sccntcd dog to follow. t four o'clock It was rapidly growing dark. The sky was now tin inky black, and the coming of the storm could not long be delayed. The avengers were not moro than a mile away, keeping my pace as before. What! A great soft, white flake of snow fluttered down upon my horse's mane and hung there like a feather. I turned to the left and rode straight out upon the plain. It was a desperate chance to dodge them. If the storm held off fifteen minutes I must light them iu open ground. If the storm broke in ten 1 might try a plan I had conceited. Another flake a third a fourth and then all of a sudden there came a roaring gust of wind oil the mountain, and night set In as if a cur tain had been lowered. 'Ith tho dark ness came such a down pour of flakes that I could not see live feet beyond my my horse, and the ground turned white In an Instant. Providence was with me. I turned my animals sharp to the right direct for the mountain. I had half a mile to go to reach it, and the ground was rough and broken. I might as tt ell have been bliud for the good my eyes could do me iu such a storm, but it was not likely I could miss the mountain. My horse, was stumbling forward, fol lowed by the mule, when I heard the deep bay of the dog. This was the first time ho had given tongue. He had clung to my trail for hours, silent, grim, vengeful. He had suddenly lost the trail, and was giving vent to his anger thereat. Ten seconds after the dog's first hay I heard the men shouting tp each other. They hail separated In order not to miss me lu the storm, and wero apparently following on my trail, or, at least, com ing after me. lly and by the wind ceased to heat In my face, though, I could hear it roaring and howling above me. I had reached the base of the mountain. The horse did not stop, however. I'laht ahead, Into pitch blackness, he slowly walked, and pretty soon the snow ceased to blind me. Indeed, only now and then a stray flake scented to descend, and the ground beneath my horse's feet was no longer white. Far above my head I heaid the swish and roar of tho btorra, but down where I was there was scarce ly any motion to tho air. Slowly and carefully the horse felt his way, and the mule kept afhla heels and several times uttered snorts of alarm; When the horsa ceased to go forward I dismounted. There was grass under my feet, and there was no snow on the grass. Iu a few seconds I had a light, and as I held It above my head and moved about I realized our location. We had entered a narrow valley break ing into tnc monntaln. Had the ground been rocky and broken It would have been called a canon, I knew that it must be a very narrow valley, because he flue snow scarcely sifted down nt all, and there was no wind, That went to show that the trees met above and acted as a screen. How far had we come up tho valley? I decided that tbe distance was at least a quarter of a mile. Would tho Mormons follow me In? I left the horses where they were, and felt my way down the valley. Felt, is tho word, for when I held my hand an inch from my nose I could not soe its outlines. It was simply a solid wall ot blackest mid night and I did not caro to light It for fear of attracting attention. I weut back until I felt the forco of the storm again and what a storm! The wind had risen to a gale, and the snow came down as though it meant to bury me. Abovo the roar of the gale I still heard the "owl owl owl" of tho dog. Those pitiless men and that mer ciless canine had not yet given me up. ! Amid the war of elements they were 'still kuntluir we, determined on my 1.00 n If death. There was, how everjlttlc dang er of their blundering Into the valley as I had done. Indeed, as I listened, the voice of the dog was growing fainter In the distance. As 1 turned to retrace my steps up the valley my horse touched me with his nose, and I heard the pack mule moving about near by. Tho silence and dark ness had made the poor brutes nervous. When I was under shelter again I se cured a candle from the pack and light ed It. While the gale screamed over head like a mad beast there was scarce ly enough movement down there 16 flare the light. Piloting the animals, both of which seemed very grateful for the light, I went up the valley about a hundred feet further than bffore. Here I dis covered much to my amazement, n great pile of firewood and a place where ccok Ing had been done. Without stopping to wonder who had been there, or how long ago, I built a fire on the blackened stones, feeling sure that Its blaze could not be seen outside In such a storm as that. There was a thick growth of grass underfoot, and I unsaddled the animals and let them turn to. Then I set about cooking a bite to cat, and at 7 o'clock by my watch I was ready to wrap my blanket around me and turu In. I gave the Danltes no further thought for tho night. They would bo compelled to seek shelter somewhere from tho dreadful storm, and In the morning might seek to pick up tho trail anew. I should let circumstances guide me. I noticed several times while smoking my after supper pipe that the animals seemed ill at ease. They frequently raised their heads from tho grass to look, and always In ono direction up thu valley. What was beyond? My fire onl threw Its glare a few feet away. For all I knew, this rift in the mighty hill might extend for half a mile furth er. Had some animal been driven to this shelter lu advance of me? I picked up a blazing brand, and rising to my feet, hurled It Into tho darkness. The result was astonishing. There was a chorus of fierce growls, and three great mountain lions came leaping out of the pitch dark and skurrled down the valley, one of them making a flying leap clear over the mule. So that was what ailed tho brutes. The poor ani mals ceased eating entirely, and crowd ed as close to me and tho fire as they could get. I now got my revolvers out, not know ing what else might confront me. It wasn't Hvo minutes before a snort of alarm from the horse proved that some danger was at hand. I had just leplcn Ished the firo when the three Hons re turned. Their tails dragged on the ground, and I could see tliat they were broken up over something. They start ed to bolt past the lire up the valley,but I killed the first one stone dead with a bullet through the hnad, and the other two ran off with dismal howls. I wait ed and watched for their return a whole hour, and then, seeing tho horses begin to feed again, I reasoned that tho linns had left the valley for somo other shel ter. I put tbe lire well together, and dropped off to sleep, and I was not awakened until an hour after daylight tho next morning. The horses wcro lying down near by, and the firo was all right. While It was daylight outsido of the valley It was deep twilight down there. and my ears told me that the storm still raged. After hasty breakfast I went down the valley.but only a fotv hundred feet. Ono glance showed me that I was a captive. Tho snow was piled up in the ratine higher than my head. I was not within two hundred feet of the mouth of the raylne, and yet tho snow had drifted in until a man on horseback could not havn looked over it. Not only this, but the storm still howled and raved. Well, I was a prisoner, and must make the best of It. 1 returned to the fire and dragged the body of tho dead lion away, and deteimlncd to explore the upper end of tho ratine. Iteyond the firo the width of the ravine wrs not more than twenty feet. I lighted a couple of candles and started off, both animals ttinnying after ine as If afraid to bo left behind, but neither making any attempt to follow. In a walk of one hundred feet I reached the end of my Journey. The ratine suddenly opened out lu au almost circular chamber, perhaps one hundred feet across. Overhead was intense darkness; beneath my feet was sands, gravel, and Isolated bnncVs of grass. The first thing I noticed was that miners had been at work on the sides of the cham ber, and as I followed tho wall around I was amazed at the richness of the indications. It was a veritable chamber of silver. When half way round, or opposite the entrance, my feet-struck something which sent fortii an ominous clatter.and I looked down to discover a bundle 'of rotten cloth and human hones. A few feet away was another,and then anotlier, and In the middle of the chamber bonce were scattered all about In wild dis order. The storm had not driven the lions Into this ravine. They had entered it to gnaw the bones of the dead. I was amazed, but not alarnfed, at the discovery. I noticed the entire absence of skulls among the bones, and was wondering why this was so, when my eyes happened to glance up nt the wall, and the puzzle wa3 solved. On a rocky shelf were six grinning heads. The lleah had not yet entirely decayeJ, nor had all tho hair fallen olT. It was a sickening, horrible sight, and ono from which I soon turned to see If I could glean any clue to the Indentity of the victims. I hunted the chamber over, carefully inspecting every pile of dust, but not even a button repaid my search. Those men must have hail packs and tools and cooking utensils, Not a , single article rumalnetl. Who tveie they and how had tub ate- Year if Pnid in Advance. not paid in advance, $1.2f ful fate overtaken them? It was a small band of explorers and prospectcrs from the States.

On the third day of my Imprisonment the storm abated, and when I walked down the valley I found tho snow pack ed lu to the depth of ttt enty feet. 1 was exactly eleven days digging a tunnel under that pack to the mouth of the ratine, and during that time, to save my packed provision for the long Journey, I lived mostly on the meat of that Hon. It had a musty, sickening taste, and at last 1 could not bring my self to even smell It. Four days after tho completion of my tunnel the weather suddenly changed to warmer, settling the snow on tho prnlrle tery fast, and at, night I struck for tho Humboldt Klver, the horses rested for a long journey, and no enemy at hand to pick up my trial. JOSH BILLING! AND THE DKUMMEH. The late Josh Hillings was once on a passenger train bound for his old homo at I.ancsborough, Massachusetts On the train wcro several commercial travellers, who, to while away tho time, proposed a game of whrlst. A fourth man was wanted, and a gentleman sitting near was requested to tuko a hand. "No; I do not play. Hut there Is an old fellow who Is a capital player; try him" pointing to the "old fellow," who sat demurely on the scat In front. "Good player. Is lie?" said tho com mercial man. "Then uo'll have some fun with old Hayseed," and accosting tho quiet, farmer-like passenger tho young man, whose check was his for tune, blandly said: "My venerable friend, we would llko to have, you take a hand In a game of eard.s with us, just to while away the time. Will you oblige us?'' Looking the young man In tho face a moment, "old Hayseed" answered. "Ya-as, we'll be there In about three hours." "You don't understand, my friend; wo want you to take a hand " "Ya-as, the stand o' corn Is very good oncommon handsome." The commercial man was annoyed. "Speak a little louder,", suggested the gentleman In tho scat behind; "ho Is somewhat hard of hearing." "My friend!" shouted tho voung fellow, "will yotu take a hand In a game?" "Ya-as, game Is oncommon plenty; all j ou want is " "Oh, go to the deticel You're as deaf as a post!" and the man of check sub sided, amid tho laughter of his com panions. When Iianesborough was reached, "old Hayseed" arose to depart, when ho quietly handed his card to the com mercial man, who sat glum in his scat, and in a particularly comical way re marked: "Young man, when you trav el on your cheek, don't get hay-seed In your eye. See?" The young fellow glanced at the card. Tho superscription was "Josh Hillings." Josh got off the train, and tho man of cheek had to find a seat In another car to escape tho "run" on htm by his companions. Auctioneers havo a nod way of re ceiving bids. The man w ho ought to "give you fits" Tho tailor. A misplaced switch When tho wrong boy is whipped. There Is some hope for tho dtulcs at last. A Sacramento man has intcntcd a calf-wcancr. A lovesick poet says that a kiss Is "tho meeting of two souls." Vcrj true, und it Is a protracted meclinr, too. An old rounder savs that naralvsls Is caused by canned goojs. It Is niao certain that some of It comes through bottled goods. Everything is adulterated nowadays A San Trancisco man bought a cork leg and afterwards ascertained that It was made of paper. "Soe, mamma 1" exclaimed a little clrl, as she looked out of the window during a snow storm, "see tbe popped rain coming down."
