The chase was a Ur-R one; anil it was
Dot till Ibe hunters had run the buiT.tlorsupon
a spur of the Black Hills that they, got u
good chance at them. They then brought
down several plump young biuXilom., and

i "It is noon,, uml we'll bavo dinner," sajd
tho lieutenant,'' observing that ,thu bagonuo
animals with tbeir drivers wera approaching.
"Kirull a BrVjbiys. and we U.bave aleak

While this order was being cairled into
effect,' Hubert and several .others wera en
gaged la surveying Iheseene.
"A lonely nnd deiolate apot." snH Hu

never before visited It."
- "And do '-wonder,'1 retitroed Brydges,
"tlnee It' AVe miles off tbe route. . What
conld any man want here, unless b might
be In pursuit of biiffsloea!"
There being no answer to this question,
Hubert proceeded to find an excellent graz
ing spot for his horse, tethered biui, and
flung himself on tbe ground in tho ahadow
of ibo bill. Tho lieutenant and a portion of
tbe men followed bia example.
Fieoty of low hushes were found dry
enough to hum. nnd several fires Were sooo
kindled. Tbe choiecat portion of tho buffa
loes wero readily nrenared for cookinir. and
it was not long before tbe oder of buriiing
flesh was diffused on tho nit ; four or live
bongry soldier serving aa vooks.
It was a v. Ht picnte scene on those lonely
wilds, and every man there enjoyed it with
true gipsy r at.
SuiMeniy a shout from one of the mea who
were strolling around, ai rested tbo atten
tion of the others.
'Hallo, boys!" he cried. I'm blest ifbere
isn't n cave in tho bill! Come, gee ibe hole
under these bushes Von never saw any

-Jones thinks nobody ever saw a ore he-i

"Probably," Said Hubert, "there's large
cavern under lhat bill.-. It we bud time, it
might pay to explore it. Under the liU'iienl
circumstance, .1 am like Jirown, ami prefer
my dinner to scieniitl exploration."
' Th meal seemed lo be nearly ready, -far
tbe rattling of tiu cups, ami dishes begun to
be heard; the lieieiiaut's small canip-oliesi
was unpacked, and the cook'shouted hi loo
strolk-ra to come lo dinner.
"Hove Jones and l'rowii como back f" ask

The uiMil replied in the negative. .
Go after them then. King, and burr?

sume the march after dinner, and csnituf al

King, a fine yoiiilx soldier, took up a torch,
and entered the cave-.

' He went to Ihe nearest lire, picked up , a

minutes dragged by ten fifteen, and atill
no sound reached their ears. They euuld
see a brief spaco iuto the cavern, by the
liht of their own torches, hut nothing but
rocky walls nnd floor met their gaze.
Twenty minutes were thus passed. The
time was up. and Iluburt bad not returned.
The men looked at one another wilh pal
