after the moon rose wo struck soma
heavily wooded ridoa, rough and
rock, and our progrosa waa neoessa
rily alow. We did not talk muoh
bnt kept a briirht look out for both
outlaws and Indiana, and wa mark
ed our way by tbe stars that glim
tnored overhead.
Tho night was cool and still, the
ouly Bound whioh broke tbe stillness
boiug tbe grind of the gravel nodor
our feet, or tho oocMion.il cry of
some far away wolf.
We had proceeded thus for per
uana four boura and bait covered
a dozen tniloa or more, when wo
fouud ourselves at the entrance of
a narrow caunoa, through whose
dreary shadows our coarse lay. It
was an "uuoinuy place, and iu
stiootively 1 loosened m knife io niv
sheath as wo eoterod its vawatoa-
moutb, but old Torn tramped an-
consciously on, nod I must noede
follow, deeper and deeper grew the
uaruuoHa, tbe towering walla fairly
thruateued to meet overhead, Whilo
more and mora rough grew the rug-
god path bonoatu. At length we
were obliged to crawl from p iot to
point, so thickly strewn with masaes
of rock was tbe uneven n or.
Suddouly, a aharp turn opened
beforo ns tbe unexpected vision of a
broad park covered witb short grass,
aud through which rnn a little
stream, and about which, sitting,
ataoding, aud lying, were a dozen as
rough looking deipuradoos as the
border could products while the
whole was brightly il lamina tod bv
tho light of great fire w hioh burned
ia tbe ceutre of tbe glado,
We bad fallen iuto tho very trap
we wore seeking to avoid. This
was tho night camp of lied Jiui'a
gang.
It was too late to retreat, for, even
as we looked, two or three tuou
sprang to their feet, aud. with weap
ous half rumed, cried out to ua
"Halt !" Ho, with a wbisporad.
"Wore uusteJ minors;- ask for
shelter," Tom threw up bis bauds
and shouted loudly :
"Fiiends 1"

both entered tbe areuo, and were at
oooe snrrouudod by tbe scowling,
dark'browod crew.
Tom told onr story broken
hearted prospectors tryiog to rcto.ru
to the mining camp over tbe range,
aud traveliug at night for fear of
tbe Iudinna. Would they give us
suppor aod shelter
A short conference waa held, It d
Jim, a brawny ruffian, with a blood
oulored mane of bair aud beard, put
ting some close questions to us both;
md at length, with not the best
grace in the world, our request was
grunted, and we woro told to draw
up and bolp ourselves from tbe open
provision pack upon tbe ground.
Hungry from our long walk, we
neodud no second invitation, aud
were soon eating and talking with
those about us as familiarly as though
horse-thieves and cutthroats our
sulvos.
We dissombled fear, and made no
attempt at private communication.
Time for that by and by. We roust
disarm all suspioiou, or our throats
will be sore bof jre morning. .
The meal waa nearly over, and I
bad just washed down my last bite
of lurked venison with a draught of
aery wnixicey (rout tne canteen of a
uideons dwarf who sat near me, when
Red Jim again approached ns.
"Wh it's ye'nns names f" said be.
"Mine is Baldwin Hank Bald

this young 'nn is Major Dick Smith,
lie was in the Roosiau War, and is
feen in this business, but I'm an
old nan Juan country miner, where

this cussed region."
Tba ruffian looked at bim ahortly
for aa instant, and then aaid t
"Hold out your left band 1"
With sudden fear, I saw Tom's
face grow ashea nalo, and almost
imperceptibly bis band moved to

ing himself, he obeyed witb a langh.
"Thar it is, pard t what's left of

Red Jim leaned forward and ex
amined tbe member carefully. Then
his face became lurid, and bis wolf
ish eyes gleamed.
"Ion lie, von dog! yon never saw

Tbo night dragged slowly on. One
by one tho road agents rolled them
selves in thoir blankets, and lay
down to rest aud lust, having ap
pointed a guard for his prisoner,
Hod Jim turned toward where bia
boree waa tothored, there to sleep
with tho bridle about hia arm until
danger for daylight awoke him.
Tfaeo, last of all, I too throw my
self upon tho grouud, but not to
sloop. I must rescue Tom, for to
leave him in tbo bands of these
demons would be worse than mur

therefore, I waited and planned.
Una against a dozen tho odds were
desperato, and yet 1 must save bim.
An hoar passed. But tbo skele
ton of the fire remained a few
glowing enibure and from tho sound
about me I knew that all except the
guard were asleep.
This, if ever, was my time. Sim
ulating a yawn I slowly arose aod
stretched myself, theo sauntered to
ward the spot where Tom lay. As I
approucbod bis watchman turned to

Advice to Students.
A modlical journal, advising atudonts
how to take caro of themselvo
says :
"Sit up to the table when you road (
easy chairs abolish memory. Do
not read the same book too long at
one sitting. It you are roally weary
of one subject change it for another.
"Head steadily for three hours a day
for five days iu the week. The use
of wot towels and strong cofToo be
ware. "Test the aoouraoy of your work
as soon as you havo fiuished it. Put
your facta in order as soon as you
have learued them.
"Never read after midnight. Do
not go to bed straight from your
books. Never let your reading in
terfere with exercises or digestion.
Keep a clear bead, a good appetite,
and a cheerful heart. "
It Navan Combo. Wo never have

prophecies. It baa been said that
tho two great pleasures of living aro
in haviug aoauetbing to love and to
hope for, and tho last of these is ever

A good story comes from Wood
stock, Me. A grocer there owns a
cow with horns of inferior leiigCj.
Last week somo mischievous boys
obtained from tho tfitccry a pair'of
cast-oil" horns, which, with a bit of
cuuiout, thoy uiccty fitted over the
horns of tho cow and left her to go
homo at milking titno, which sho did.
Nor owner failed tu reoogniz-i her,
and actually used forco to exp.d her
from the promises. Thu villain was
searched in vain for tho misiin ani
mal, aud an advertisement was
in.

SoMiTitiNU That's Foolish To
think tho more a man cats tho fattor
and stronger he becomes.
To conclude that if cxerciso is
good, tho more violent it ia, tho
more good is doue.
To imagine that every hour taken
from sleep is an bour gained-
To act on tho presumption that
the smallest room in the house is
large enough to sleep in.
To ea t without an apatite, or to
continue to eat after it baa been
satistiud, merely to gratify tho taste.
To eat a hearty supper for the
pleasure experienced daring the brief
lime it ia paaaiug down the throat,
at tbe expense vt a whole niht ol
