A Legend Found Amrng Sorr.e Old Eoman Tales. BY EDWARD COURTNEY. A long time ago, in a country whose history and whose traditions are full of tiie glamour of romance, of wonderful achievements and heartrending cruel ties and outrages; where science, and art, and literature flourished, aud civ ilization, so called, reached the very height of refinement and perfection, there lived a great and wise king, who was blessed with a loving quecu and three handsome sons. .Many were the years of this noble monarch's reign, and one day, full of love fur his fellow-beings and thankful for all the goyd that he had euj'.jd. he called his children before him and thus addressed them: '"Hear me, my beloved ones, for the last time, as your monarch; for this day do I bequeath to my eldest sou my kingdom and my crown. Itule wisely and justly, ever. Let love be the cor- nar-fctone of your reign. Then will all your actions be true, and full of wis dom." To the second son he presented all his personal wealth aud much good ad vice; and to his youngest, and best be loved, he gave three magic gifts. These talismans consisted of a ring, a necklace and a carpet, and were in trusted to the queen-mother, till the young prince should have reached the years of discretion and knowledge. And then, having spoken many lov ing words to his three sons, the king descended from his throne and retired to a quiet life. Years passed away, prosperously for the two eldest sons. The youuirest, who was his mother's idol, was for ever with her, learning from her wis dom many secrets of nature, of birds, of insects, of plants, of fishes, and of animals. He learned, too, the secret stories of the rocks. He listened to the music of the winds and the waters; and studied the science of the stars and of all the wonders of illimitable space. His nature grew as sensitive as that of bis mother, and the soul of poetry was strong within him. When he grew to manhood he eclipsed all his high-born companions in their sports and their studies, for nothing that was essential in a prince's education had been neglected, and the sympathetic companionship of the wise and gentle queen bad but added a crown of gen tleness to the manly bearing of the prince. 60 the time drew near when the first gift of the king was to be presented to Jonathan. The queen called him one day to her chamber and gave him the "fnis," she said, "so long as you have it, will make all people love you. and, moreover, whatsoever you may wish shall come to you. Take the gift with all thy father's love, and remem ber the teaching of thy mother, and beware of crafty people; nor tell the secret of thy power to anyoueP' Overjoyed with his prize the young prince strolled forth into the street of the city; a desire was strong within him to test the value of his ring. As he walked along, every one looked at him and smiled. Many were the kiud words spoken to him, and he felt al ready the power iu the gift, for he saw that the people loved him. Presently he met a gentle-looking girl, who smiled so sweetly that it seemed to him like a new radiance in the si' imer sky. He spoke to her, and they soon became great frinedj, but, as time passed, and Bubtilia saw that Jonathan got lands, and riches, and jew els, and everything he wished for, she felt an overpowering curiosity about it, as a young gin wouia uaturauj ieei, and she determined to find out the secret. 'Tell m-'," she said to him one day, "how it Is that you get everything you desire, for we all kuow that the king left you no riches." 'Ah:" auswered the prince, "I must not tell you that! It is my secret!" 'A secret! And do you y that I am your friend, anJ yet have a ecret from me?" Thus b2gan the trouble; nor would Subtilia We pacified until she had learn ed the secret of the ring; and having learned it, she longed to possess that power for herself. Finally, Jonathan yielded to her entreaties, and gave her the ring. All went well for a time, but one day Jonathan met Subtilia, and she was weeping bitterly. He asked her what her trouble was, and she told him that some one had stolen the ring from her. Then Jonathan, 5a his anger and dis tress, went to his mother. "Abu! my son!" she cried, "I warn ed you against wily pjople. The girl deceives" you. But here, take this necklace; so Ion as you wear itou your bosom, all that you wish will be fulfilled. Bat beware of the subtlety of e ivlous creatures, and lose not this jewel!" Jonathan, feeling that his fortune om SOMERSET, PA,, was not entirely lost, was kind to Sub tilia when he met her next, for his nature was gentle, and he could not be lieve that she had deceived h!m. And so well did she act her part that ere long, she also had the necklace, which in its turn, she soon reported lost. Again Jonathan went to his mother, and this time receive the third gift. "Ths carpet, my son," she said "has the property of transporting you wher ever you may wish to be, the moment you siana upou it- Take it, and re member my warning!" ow, Jonathan had determined to punish Subtilia and to get back his other treasures; so be went to her home and showed her the carpet. As she stood upon it with him, he wished that they might be carried to a desert, and immediately they were on a barren plain, the hot sun beating down upon them, and the place loathsome with reptiles and terrible with wild animals, though not a blade of grass sprung there, nor fell a drop of rain. -ow, Buotuia," ne cried, in a threatening voice, "return to me the ring and the necklace, or I will leave you here to be devoured by the wild beasts!" "Aias, jonatnan:" sue moaned, "we must die together!" "Xay, be not foolish in that thought! Long have I believed in thy friendship, and thou hast deceived me. Now shalt thou die, as thou deservest, but I shall be saved, for my magic carpet will take me wheresoever I wish!" When she heard this Subtilia feign ed weeping, but she was really full of joy, for she thought she saw a way to hold her riches iu safety. She looked up at last, and begged time to think. "I will give you," said Jonathan, "till the rim of the sun touches the parched earth;" and then, lying down, he soon was overcome by the beat and slept. The crafty girl no sooner saw this than she began, very softly and gently, to pull the carpet from under him. But be suddenly awoke, and as he leaped to his feet and tried to regain the car pet Subtilia wished herself at home. A loud mockinp laugh of victory and de rision was the last that Jonathan heard from her in that desert place. Only then did he realize the extent of his folly. He pictured the girl revel ing in all the wealth and esteem that should have been bis, and the desire for revenge grew strong within him. He did not know where to go, however, and he journeyed on, day and night, for many a weary mile. Fatigue and thirst had nearly over whelmed him when he saw before him a clear, shining river. It was not deep and Jonathan stepped in to cross iu But the water deceived him, aud he felt his flesh burned by its terrible beat. There was no hope in returning, so be pressed on, aud on the opposite bank he sunk exhausted. Then he drank from the stream, but his mouth was scorched as the rest of his body had been Marveling much at the strange prop erties of the river, the prince poured some of the water into a small crystal flak that he had with him and con tinued his journey. Hi- thirst soon gave way to hunger, and after a weary walk Le beheld a beautiful tree, laden with golden fruit. He ran forward and plucked the fruit; but when he had eaten it, he found himself sick unto death with a loath some disease; he was a leper! Cryiug aloud in his anguish he gath ered some of the fruit and went on till he reached a dark, turbulent stream. Despair had overcome him, and, care less of life, he plunged into the torrent. He found it shallow, however, and it buoyed him up and bore him to the opposite bank; though seeming to rush ou with headlong violence, it offered him no resistance. When he stood upon the bank his heart leaped with joy and thankful ness, for be found that his burnt flesh had been restored by the water to all its whiteness. He stoojied and drank of the river, though it looked so dark and repugnant, and much refreshed, gathered some in a flask and continued on his pilgrimage. Still be hungered, and was possessed by that awful sickness. On and on he wandered, but could find no food. Again, as despair came upon him, he saw a small wormeaten tree, bearing on one branch a few withered apples. Anything was better than nothing, and he ate of the fruit, and in one mo ment he was cured of his ills. New life, new vigor, aud a new spirit, was in him, and he journeyed on joyfully, feeling no fatigue by virtue of that wabr; unhungeriug aud unthirsting by virtue of that fruit, of which be gathered some and took with him. So the prince wandered for many moon?, and his vigor grew and his spirit lightened ever on his way. One day he approached a high-walled city, and would have passed in, but the porter hailed him, asking him whence be came and who he was. "I come from a far land," replied Jonathan, "and I am a physician." "Then art thou come in good time, master. My king lies sick with lep rosy. Can'st thou cure him? Then great will be thy reward! But he who tries and fails must die! Look!" And Jonathan saw a great numberof stakes, to each of which a physician had been bound and thus met the re ward ol his failure. "I will try my skill!" said Jonathan. Then he was ushered into the king's chamber, and announced as a great physician from far-off lands. He gave the king the dried and withered apple, and poured over him the life-giving water from the turbulent stream and all the glow of health came back to him and he arose a new man. "Thou art indeed a physician," cried the king. "The reward is thine! But live with ns and thou eltalt have all honor. "Nay, most gracious king, I cannot J remain, for I have ore work yet to per form." Then Jonathan departed, but he took no reward; that be distributed among the poor. Soon be reached the city of his home, and gave out that a wonder ful physician had arrived. Now it happened that Subtilia was ill; aud all her charms could avail her nothing, because of the evil that she had done. When she heard of Jona erset EST-AJBruISBCED 1827. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3. 1897. than's arrival, therefore, though she xnew not it was he, she sent for him. "Alas, good father," she moaned, "I die; save me!" "All must die that have injured a fellow-mortal," the sage answered, sol emnly. "Alas! alas! father; I have done much evil. But I will make reparation if thou wilt save tuc!" "My skill can do what it may. But first, the reparationr' Then Subtilia told of how she had wronged Jonathan, aud revealed the hiding-place of the three talismans. When he bad gained possession of them, be said: "Eat this fruit, and drink this water!7 Ah, have mercy!" the dying girl cried. But he only said: "Look at me; I am Jonathan!" And then, with a cry of agony, the wicked Subtilia fell back on her pillow, dead. This old Roman legend holds a story for you and for me. Have you the key to unlock the chamber where it lies? Sleep After Eating. Advocates ot the after-dinner lisp have a powerful, and to them all con vincing, argument in the fact that most animals sleep immediately after eating. Yet the propriety of such a habit among human bciugs bids fair to be an open question for some time to come. One authority has recently added his mite to the collection of statistics upon this interesting subject by making a series of experiments upon two persons of normal digestive abilities. The stomachs of these two persons were emptied a few hours after meals, some of which had been followed by sleep and others not, and contents ana lyzed. The normal stomach acts upon its contents by cnuraing them about, and in this manner subjecting every particle to the action of the digestive fluids. The above mentioned investigator found, as the result of his experiments, that the constant effect of sleep is to r.-eaken the churning movements of the stomach, while the acid quality of the digestive juices is at same time increased. On the other hand he found what is quite as interesting that simple re pose in a horizontal position stimulated the motions of the stomach without in creasing the acidity of its juices. - The conclusion reached by this ex perimenter was that while a recumbent position after eating is not to be regarded as harmful, but In the majority of cases as beneficial, one should be cautious about sleeping directly after a meal. EspcclAlly ehcUd this caution be ob served in cases where the stomach is naturally weak, or where there is an over acidity of the digestive fluids. When all is said, however, the above experiment proves little more than that in such matters each person is a law unto himself; that the after-dinner uap differs in no respect from ether habits, which can be indulged in with im punity by some, white they work havoc with the health and happines of others. Rett after eating is certainly beneficial, both from a rational and a physiological standpoint. Whether sleep can be ad vantageously iudulged in is a qnestioit that must be determined by the in dividual himself by careful experiment. Mark Twain's Elephant Eide. In following the equator Mark Twaiu conscientiously endeavored to enlarge his long list of accomplishments. In India he took a lesson iu elephant riding. He says: "To the elephant stables and I took a ride, but it was by request. I did not vsk for it and I did not want it, but I took it because otherwise they would have thought I was afraid, which I was. The elephant kneels down by command one end of him at a time and you climb the ladder and get into the howdah, and he then gets up, one end at a time, just as a ship gets up over wave; and after that, as he strides monstrously about, his motion is much like a ship's motion. The mahout bores into the back of his head with a great iron prod, and you wonder at his temerity and at the elephant's pa tience, and you think that perhaps the patience will not last; but it does, and nothing happens. The mahout talks to the elephant in a low voice all the time, and the elephant seems to understand it all and to be pleased with it, and he obeys every order in the most content ed and docile way. Among these 25 elephants were two which were larger than I bad ever seen before, and if I bad thought I could learn to not be afraid I would have taken one of them while the police were not looking. A Possible and Plausible Reason. "I don't have no opiuion of these new-fangled women's notions," said Mr. Hyde, when his wife timidly ex pressed her desire to join the Woman's Self-Improvement Society. "But we learn so much there," ven tured Mrs. Hyde. "Don't believe It!" snapped Mr. Hyde, "Women don't know much, that's a fact; but let 'em stick to their domestic duties and learn them. That's my opinion. Let 'em follow St. Paul's injunction, stay at home, and ask their husbands if they want to know anything." "But, Hiram " "I've settled it, and that's enough, Jane." But, Hiram, that's what women have been doing all the time, and perhaps that's the reason they don't know much." And then Mr. Hyde threw his boot at the cat and boxed young Hiram's ears for grinning because it missed her. Judge. People can't be good natured, caa't be pleasant, if they have Itching Piles.

A Remarkable Incident Recalled by the Death of McPherson- There will probably never be another such gathering in the United States senate as there was when the extra session wa- called together on the 4th of March, 1877. On that day John Roderick McPherson, of New Jersey, who was buried in Washington last Monday, entered upon his first term as a representative of the state of Newt Jersey in the upper house of congress and then and there be met four boys, each one of whom like himself, was born within the circumference of a circle of seventy-five miles diameter with a center in Livingston county, New York, and, beside the five, there was a sixth who had lived within that same circle and who had been known personally to each of the others more than three decades before that extra session was called together. The admission, in the July precjd ing, of the new state of Colorado bad brought to the front as senators from the centennial state Henry M. Teller, who was born in Alleghany county, just south of Livingston, and Jerome B. Chaffee, who first saw the light In Niagara county, in the same state, fifty miles north. Angus Cameron, also born iu Liv ingston county, was representing in part the state of Wisconsin, to which he bad removed after having studied law in Buffalo. Francis Kernan, older than the rest of his colleagues, was a native of Steu ben county, and he was the only one in the party who was then represent ing his native state in the United States senate. James 15. Beck took his seat that same March day as t representative of Kentucky, to which stats he had gone with his father, after the latter bad completed the work of surveying a railroad through the Genesee valley. Sometime late in the thirties, these five boys, following the custom then general throughout the rural districts of this country, had all added to their earnings by laboring in the harvest fields of what was then the great wheat region of the United States, and it was said of them on one particular occasion all six of these boys met aud cut grain side by side on the farm owned by Francis Kernan's father. However this may be, it is certain that Angus Cameron during several winters of his early life taught a district school in western New York, and several of the young men who afterward became United States senators acquired part of their education in the school ever which he presided. It is not at all strange that they should have become so widely scatter ed in after years, nor is it strange that in choosing their political course the six should have become equally divided as between the two parties. Chaffee, Teller and Cameron joined themselves with the Republicans, thereby, appar ently, demonstrating that the atmos phere of the west was more conducive to Republican ideas than the east and south, as McPherson, of New Jersey, Kernan, of New York, and Beck, of Kentucky, remained Democrats as long as they lived. Senator Chaffee was the first to die. He was followed by Kernan. Then Beck, followed by Cameron, and now McPherson has passed away. Teller, the survivor of the six, re mains in the senate, but since the con vention in St Louis last year he no longer claims to be a straigbtout Repub lican, but is the leader of a new party of which he and a few other senators were founders, known as the Free Sil ver republicans. A Flavor From Leaves. An interesting discovery by Jac- quemin is that the leaves of fruit trees, having themselves no marked flavor, may develop a decided bouquet of fruit in solutions undergoing alcoholic fer mentation, says the Indianapolis Jour nal. Pear and apple leaves, for instance, placed in a 10-per-cent. solution of sugar, with the addition of pure yeast, im parted to the f. rmented product a strong odor and excellent flavor, which became even more marked iu alcoholic distillate. A similar effect was had with leaves of the grape vine. Leaves from trees having fruits near maturity gave the most decided r "suits, from which is drawn the important inference that fruit flavors are due to a body, pos sibly glucosidal in character, elaborated la the leaves and transferred to the fruit only as the latter approaches mat urity, developing distinctive flavors when acted on by the special ferments of the fruit juices.

It has been subjected to a white heat that will melt solid rock and iron, and, though wholly submerged in such a fire for a long time, it came out unaffected. A thousand ordinary fire-brick will weigh three or four tons, while bricks made from this combination of clnys will only weigh about one-sixth as much. This is an Important discover, and it will not be long until there will be a big demand for fire-brick to line smelt er furnaces, etc, in treating mine ores. He About Names. The Christian names derived from the Latin tongue are numerous, as might be expected from the gMitness of the general debt which all modern languages owe to tbe speech of Rome. Anthony (or Antony) was a name rendered famous by a Roman, Marcu Antonius one of the three who once held conjunct rul.j over the world. We therefore place it among the appel lations borrowed from Rome, though i t is derived from a Greek term signifying "flourishing." Augustus is a word which radically signifies "increasing," "waxing in hon or," and in this sense was given as a supplementary name to the first imper ial Ciesar, since whose time it has been common in families of princes. The name of Ciesar itself, it may Iw remarked here, is ocj-isionally usel as a Christian name. It moat prbably signifies, etymolrgically, "well-haired" or more likely still, "red-haired." From being the generic appellation of the emperors of Rome, Ciesar has been adopted by other potentates in various quarters of the world. In (ut many, for example, it was thus used in the form of "Kaiser," aud we believe the northern word "Czar" is be traced to the same source. Boniface is a name which was much esteemed by the early Christians, and which many worthy Fathers of tlie Church were well pleased to bear. Bon iface has an excellent signification "a well doer." Clement and Cons tan tine are two names from the Latin the first signify ing "mild" or "merciful," aud the sec ond," resolute," "standing firm by any thing." Felix is a name iu this same condition; it means "happy." The next we have to notice was a lavoWte in other days, though, by some unaccountable award of fate, the name is no more to be heard among men. We allude to the name of Hilary, which signifies "merry" or "cheerful." Laurence is an agreeable name and signifies "laurel like," or "laurel crown ed," being derived from the Latin "laurus," a laurel. Lionel, "a little lion," in its etymolo gical sense. Martin is a good martial name, "martial" being its proper signi fication. Maurice meaus one of Moor ish origin, "sprung of a Moor." Oliver is from the Latin word "oliva," an olive tree. Patrick has the sense of "a noble" or "patrician." Arabella is first in alphabetical order iA the female names derived from the Latin, aud means a "fair altar." Barbara is from the same source as our word "barbarous," but has properly the softer meaning of "strange" or "for eigu." Bjatrice signifies "making hap py." Cecilia (and the Jess common male name Cecil) have in the Latin the signification "gray-eyed," or perhaps "dim sighted." Clara is one of the finest of our female names. It has the meaning of "clear" or "bright." Con stance means "resolute." Grace, one of the sweetest of all the names given to Christian women, signifies simply "favor," or grace in the sense of favor. Felicia has the signification of "hap- py." Julia is a name in rather an awkward predicament. It means "soft haired" or "mossy bearded." Now what, in the name of horror, are we to dj with a tunesy -chinned Julia, or, still worse, a Juliet, for they are all of a kin? Letitia, usually shortened into Lat tice, denotes "joy." Lucy is a favorite name with almost all. It is derived from the same Latin word as the ad jective "lucid," or light and has much the same meaning. MaU l iseitberjfrom ma belle, signify ing "ay fair," or contracted fromama bilis, "lovely" or "amiable." Olivia is a gooj name, derived, like Oliver, from the symbol of peace, the oli ve. Pat ienee means what in common speech the word implies. To close this catalogue of baptismal names from the Latin, we have but one other to allude to, namely, Ursula; aud how this appellation came to be given to any mortal woman we cannot guess. The word signifies a "female bear." The True Remedy. W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111., "Chief," says: "We won't keep house without Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex perimented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King's New Discovery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, as In it we have a certain and sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whoop ing Cough, etc." It is idle to ex periment with other remedies, even if they are urged on you as just as good as Dr. King's New Discovery. They are not as good, because this remedy has a record of cures and be sides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottle free at J. N. Snyder's Drug Store, Somerset, P., and G. W.

He publicly declined the nomination, declaring that he was in favor of the Republican candidate. The secretary of State has notified the board of election to put Mr. Kinney's name on the Democratic ticket. So he will be voted for, although he has positively declined nomination. There must be something wrong about the Australian Itallot system if the action of the secre tary of State in this case is in strict har mony with the law. A man is not compelled to be a candidate for office nowadays, and running for office to most men is getting to be a good deal of a nuisance.

WHOLE NO. 2414. An Experience VfiVx Apache Sid. Out this way Apache Kid wasn't much of a celebrity, says the St Louis Post-Dispatch, but for miles along the Guadeloupe canon he was great guns. Kid was a mean Indian, who tried to kill a white man or a grengo every day, and turned bis head to thieving when he couldn't find human game. There was great rejoicing iu the Apache country when a squaw came down from the mountains and said that the outlaw's body was rotting among the rocks. George Hiekey, who runs a tobacco nist shop at 101S Franklin avenue, laughed whea he read the story. "Apache Kid's body has been rotting in the Sierra Mad re foothills oftener than I have fingers on my hanu," was his comment on the dispatch. Hickey is an old prospector. He was born in Germany and educated for a metallurgist He came to America aud prospected for twelve years through the Apache country. He Is still a youug man, though an occasional gray hair betrays his adventurous life. When the bottom dropped out of silver, Hii-key came to St Louis. He is making money selling cigars and thinks of starting a mining school this winter for prospective Kloudikers. During his sojourn in the West be made the acquaintance of Apache Bill, and once had an experience with him that overtops the romancing of writers of wild western tales. "I can't believe Apache Bill dead," said Hickey, Saturday. "He wasn't built for dying like a rat in his hole. When he quits it will lie from a shock of lead. That story about his body rotting among the rocks has been told by half a dozen .i"ieu he has turned loose. He has that story circulated when he wants to keep quiet and stop the endless pursuit that keeps him al ways on the move. "He'll turn up agaiu before the win ter sets in. He's not over thirty-five, and he's too tough to give up to dis ease. "I met him first when he was scout ing for General Miles. He was at tached to the San Carlos reservation. Frank Leslie was the chief of scouts aud the Kid was his liest assistant He couldn't talk much English, and for this reason I doubt the rumor that he went to school at Carlisle, Pa. "He begau bis career as an outlaw by running off from the reservation and killing a buck against whom he had an old grudge. He was sent to prison in California, but was pardoued by Presi dent Cleveland. He returned to Ari zona and soon the country was aroused by the murder of two prospectors. "The Kid turued up, was accused of the crime, tried and sentenced to life imprisonment. He, two Indians and a Mexican were being brought by Sheriff Reynolds and a deputy to pris on when they escaped. They were haudcutfed, but Apache Bill told his mates to strike the deputy with their manacles and stun him. He did the same for the Sheriff. They told the Mexican to skip out, killed the officers and took their guns aud provisions. "After that the Kid waged incessant warfare on the white. 1 had the mis fortune to fall iu with him in Decem ber, ls:X). "I was prospecting in the Guada loupe canon, aud making my head quarters at John Hall's ranch. Hall, myself, John Bridger, of Blue Mills, M.x, and Bunk Rvbinson, of San Seba county, Texas, both of them cowberd ers, were the only ones on the place. "On December 10, Bridger, who had been up in the bills branding cattle, said that the Apaches were about, for be bad discovered a slaughtered beef with the entrails and tenderloin taken out "Robinson ind I agreed to go out with him in the morning, but it rained the next day. On December 12 we rode up the canon until we found the slaughtered beef. Sure enough there was the carcass with the forequarters untouched. It was a wild ride up the rocky mountain side, and the unpleas ant part of it was that we weren't igno rant of whose trail we were on. There was one big moccasin print that be longed to only one buck in Arizona. That w Big Foot, Apache Kid's lieu tenr.nt, wio left a 14 inch impression eveiy lions his fot touched the earth. "I measured that track aud the oth ers around their camping place, and found that there were twelve bucks in the band. "When I reached the sla ughtered an imal, Robinson pulled out a bottle of strychnine and poisoned the meat, thinking the Indians might return. "He bad hardly replaced the bottle in bis pocket, when, fifty yards ahead, the form of an Indian loomed above the rocks. 'He was mounted on rising ground. He had been watching us, but when detected he wheeled to run for cover. "Throe Winchesters spoke at once. "By no prearrangement our guns bad clicked within a fraction of a second. The Indian fell back in his saddle, but his foot caught in the stirrup. The horse darted down the mountain, drag ging the corpse with him. "We scrambled over the rocks where he fell, picked up his knife and rifle and followed to where the horse and rider had gone down the mountain side. Half way down the hill lay the Indian, while the frightened horse plunged on into the valley. "e made our way back to our horses cautiously, for we knew the red devils were not far off. We were not mistaken, for In a moment we saw gun barrels gleaming across the rocks above aud on all of us. "We scrambled to cover in a hot pep pering from their Winchesters. Rob inson and I rot behind adjoining rocks and Bridger found safety a bit above us. " Then followed a three hours' siege and waste of ammunition. Every time anythiag bobbed up above a rock a rifile cracked. I lighted my pipe, and the smoke as it curled upward was shot through by the redskins. "Denpite our watchfulness, they kept crawling closer and closer. Ourgreat es danger lay from thoss who were upon the hills and above us. "Ths first intimation that the end was near came with a bullet that whUked the pipe from betweea my teeth. I crouched back to the ground. "Robinson, who had been chatting gaily all the morning, grew grave and silent. He never took his eyes from the rocks above. "There was another shot. Bridger, who been whistling softly, stopped suddeuly. He did not answer our cry. "Robinson stuck bis bat on his gun aud held it aUve the roeks. It was riddled by bullet from the sides. He shifted his position, leaning kit against the rock and facing me. "Right overhead it seemed a rifle cracked. I saw the ball plow through Robinsou's nose and come out behind his ear. "He put his hand to his face ard rolled over dead. "I knew I had to move or follow suit, so I crawled on my stomach to Jack Bridger's shelter. "He was sitting with his gun resting between bis b-gs. His head was back against a rock, and therr wait a smMe upou bis face. Over his left eye there was a black hole and a drop of blood. I lifted his head and saw wliere the blood aud braius bad oozed out behind in the bullet's wake. "I wasn't in a comfortable fix, one man ntr&iiist eleven. There was noth ing for me but to get through the ring and make a dash through the rocks for life. "I knew the Indians were poor shots and trusted to rattling them if they had to shoot quick. "I took a long breath and made my run. My hair was long then, and I lost a good bit of it. One bullet stung my ear as it whizzed by. "I had to run fully eighty yards be fore I got out of their range. They were afraid to jump and follow, not re alizing at first that my compuuions were dead. "When they followed me it was too late, for I struck a water course aud made my way up the mountain, leav ing no trail, while they followed me dow u into the valley. "I had to make a detour of fifteen miles around the mountain side to get into Hall's place, where I arrived more dead than alive late at night "Hall left me alone in the place and drove over to John Slaughter's Sau Bcrnadino ranch and rounded up a si mad of cowboys. "Next day we weut out and got the lioys' liodies, but not iu time to prevent the Apaches from crushing iu their skulls and mutilating them. "We brought Bridger into Tomb stone and buried him, and shipped R.ibiuson to his folks in San Seba. "A week after the United States sol diers came down from Fort Grant, but they made only eighteen miles in three days, aud the cowboys, who were show ing them Apache Kid's trail, left them in disgust "The Kid did bloodier deeds than that. His worst crime was a year ago in Las Auimas Valley, New Mexico. There he robbed a ranch aud strapped a cowboy across a red-hot stove. "He has kept mighty quiet since. There is $7,(XH) in rewards banging over his head, and perhaps he had grown tired taking chances. "I wouldn't advise auyoue in Gauda- loupe Canon to lay aside his Winches ter under the belief that he is dead." Grant After the Sarrender. General Horace Porter, in his "Cam paigning with Grant," in the October Century, describes th surrender at Appomattox. General Porter says : Before parting, Loe asked Grant to notify Meade of the surrender, fearing that fighting might break out on that front, and lives be uselessly lost This request was complied with, and two Union officers were sent through the enemy's lines as the shortest route to Meade, some of Lee's officers accom panying them to prevent their being interfered with. A little before 4 o'clock General Lee shook bauds with General (rant, bowed to the other officers, and with Colonel Marshall left the room. One a fie." another we followed and passed out to the porch. Leo signaled to his orderly to bring up his horse, and while the animal was being bridled the General stood on the lowest step, and gazed sadly in the direction of the valley beyond, where his army lay now an army of prisoners. He thrice sin tte the pxl:u of bis left band slowly with his right fi-tt iu an abseut sort of way, eemed not to see the group of Union officers iu the yard, who rose respectfully at his approach, and ap peared unaware of everything about him. All appreciated the sadness that overwhelmed him, and he had the per sonal sympathy of every one who be held him at this suprerr? moment of trial. The approach of his horse seem ed to recall him from his reverie, and he at once mounted. General Grant now stepped down from the porch, moved toward him, and saluted him by raising his hat He was followed iu this act of courtesy by all our officers present Lw raised his hat respectfully and rode off at a slow trot to break the sad news to the brave fellows whom he had so long commanded. General Grant and his staff then started for the headquarters camp, which, in th-) meantime, had been pitched nearby. The news of the sur render had reached the Union lines, and the firing of salutes began at sev eral poinU, but the General sent an or der at once to have them stopped, using these words : "The war is over ; the rebels are our countrymen again; and the best sign of rejoicing after the vic tory will be to abstain from all demon strations in the field." This was in keeping with his order issued after the surrender of Vicksbu rg : "The paroled prisoners will be sent out ot here to morrow. Instruct the com manders to be orderly and quiet as these prisoners pa aud to make no offensive remarks.' How's This!
