MY LEGACY.
II V MltS. Hi:i.Kf HUNT JACKSON.
They told trie was lionr. I turned In haste,
And ran to seek my treasure.
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! The right him, to know all pain
Which hearts are made for knotting;
The right to Und In loss the surest gain;
To i cap my Joy from son lug
In bitter tears; the right with him to keep
Atvatch by day and night Willi those who
weep!
My share! To-day men call It grief and
(loath;
I see Hie Joy and life to-morrow;
I thank our Father with niy etcry breath
For tills sweet legacy of sonow;
And Ihrougli niy tears I call to each, "Joint
heir
With Christ, make haste to ask him for thy
share!"

Northwest of Salt Lake City, a hun
dred miles a9 the crow flics, ate the Sil
ver Mountains. For three months, 1
bad been prospecting at the cistern
point. It was getting late In the fall,
provisions were running short, and one
day I loaded the pack mule with the
specimens I had secured, saddled my
horse and turned his head southwest
toward the Humboldt llivcr. lleacbin
that stream I should not lose sight of it
again until I rode Into Sacramento, sU

safety; would tho same good luck at'

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!

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.

ful fate overtaken them? It was a
small band of explorers and prospectcrs
from the States. They had dodged tholr
way lu, but their trail hud been found,
and the atengers had crept In upon
I lie in. and slaughtered every man. Each
body had been decapitated, rpbbcd ofi
every article, and not the slightest clue
left to be picked up In after years.
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.
