Skirting the Black Hills, forty milei west
of Fort Laramine, a party of liorsetueu were
tiding eastward.
They had lelt Tort Bridger eight days
before, taking tho route of the North I'lutte,
and were now following the Oregon emi
grant road, among those long ridges, dry
beds of rivers, and sterile plains, by which
the region of the Black Hills is distin
guished, The bulk of tlie party consisted of ten
cavalrymen, under a lieutenant, who were
returning to iort J.aiaiuie their post pf
duty. THiey were well mounted, and had
several led horses in their train, loaded with
their provisiou aud appurtenances of travel.
1 lie UsVlance ot the party comprised three
civilians, who had seized the opportunity of
crossing the mountains under military escort.
Two ot these were emigrants who had set
tled near Fort Bridger, but who had tired
of the great solitude, or been frightened by
the Indians, and were now returning east
ward in search of homes nearer tba haunts of
civilization. t
Tbe third civilian was Hurbert Ear!, the
lover of Miriam Dane, the settler's daughter,
whom we have just left iu such deadly peril.

It was a wild picnic scene on thnso lonely
wilds, and every man there enjoyed it with

Suddenly a shout from one ot the men
who were strolling around, arrested the at
tention of the others.
'Hallo, boys !' ho cried, 'I'm blest if here
isn't a cave in the hill ! Come, see thu hole
under these bushes. You never saw any
thing hidden neater in your lives.'
'Jones thinks nobody ever saw a rave be
fore,' said one ot tba loungers, ror my i
pait, I think more of something to eat, thau
of a hole in the ground.'
This sentiment Was echoed by tlio others,
but tho inquisitive cavo discoverer, nothing
daunted, approached the Are, took from it a
torch, returned to the butte, parted the
bushes, revealing a dark aperture in tho face
of the rock, and disappeared within it, bis

Tho camp revelry went on, the cooking
progressed, the minutes passed, and Juues
did uot reappear.
'If that fellow had found a gold mine in

the lounger who had just spoken. 'I won
der what Jones ha louna. ill jesi taae a

lie arose lazily, abstracted a stick of burn
ing wood for a torch, proceeded to the cav
ern entrance, and disappeared from Mew.
'Probably,' said llu'jert, "tnere s a large
cavern under that bill. Jf ve had time, it
might pay to explore it. Under the present
circumstances, am like Brown, and prcler
my dinner to icientiflc explorations.'
The meal seerfied to ba nearly ready, for
the rattling of tin pupi and dishes began to
be heard ; the lieutenant's small camp chest
was unpacked, and tbe cooks shoatcd to tho
strollers to come to dinner.

sition, and glanced towards the cavern.
Tbe men replied in the negative.
'Uo after them then, King, and )iurry

the march after dinner, and cannot aflord to
waste tim liora,' ' . '

'We can't risk your life, lieutenant,' said
another. "Just tli'iuk how few there are of
us.'
The time continued to drag on.
At last, when two full hours had passed,
Lieut. Brjdgcs staggered to his feet, and
said :
