Why They Seem to Follow Observer* Moving To and Fro. The fact that the eyes of soine por traits follow the observer as he moves to different positions has always been looked upou as a triumph of realism. Although the phenomenon has been exaggerated in some instances, ii is not a myth, if the eyes of the portrait look at the observer in a favorable po sition they will continue to do so with in a wide angle extending to any situ ation where a view is possible. Con trariiy, if the eyes do not intentionally look at the observer they will not do so even though lie take his station at a point where I he painted gaze is seem ingly directed.

THE PATRIOT THE LURE GF GOLD Romance TTaged/flf the Old , u Bonanza Trail. A ROAD TO WEALTH AHQ CRIME It Led to the Richest Deposits of Gold. In a Relative}/ SmaH Territory, Ever Discovered —Days of Strenuous Life and Freflated LawiffsneM. The Bonanza traii began at Fort La ramie, Wyo. It ran east of the Owl Creek mountains, west of the Big Horn mouutains, in a northwest direo tion to Livingston and Rozeman. then forkiug to the present Helena and Vir ginia City. In war aud Indian depart ment annals it is known as the lioze man trail. Immediately, however, it was given the more romantic name, end for the best of reasons. It led to what were the richest deposits of gold, in a relatively small territory, that the world had ever seen. Out of Alder gulch and Last Chance gulch, within 200 miles of each other in Montana, was taken, in ten short years, considerably more than $5OO. 000.000 In pure gold. It was anybody's fortune, aud the wonderful luck of the California gold diggers a few years be fore roused meu to brave every hard ship for these prizes. It did not matter at all that these gulches were 2.000 miles from the nearest railroad and that other gold fields were far easier to reach. Here was the great El Dorado, aud with out a qualm the gold seekers hurried into the unknown territory, defying Red Cloud and every other Indian, out law. renegade and holdup man. How many lives were sacrificed along this trail to wealth will never be known. All that is certain Is thai there never was another chapter in the world's history like this. The loug road into the mysterious country and the settlements of mining camps grew up almost in a single night. There were ouly five men in the little party when Bill Fairweather "washed" the first pan in Alder gulch and made a dis covery even more wonderful than any in the palmy days of California or even in the later era of the Klondike. Two years later Alder gulch, at onc of the Bonanza trail's two ends, was among the most picturesque places lc the country. The world was ransacked for men and women to give perform ances at the theaters, to offer free en tertainment to the patrons of the vari ous resorts. The gold hunters, gorged with prosperity, wanted amusements Fine restaurants were opened and food brought in at great expense from be yond the seas. The smallest money was a twenty-five cent pinch of gold dust, taken from a pouch. It bought less than a copper cent does in any part of the United States today. Meantime an unending stream of people poured into the new country It is estimated by some that 90,000 in all took the trail at Fort Laramie. The days of the trail were those of frenzied lawlessness, and many are the': I picturesque stories that have come down. Over the big road disputes about cards were of daily occurrence The man who started an argument did so with the knowledge that it was his life or the other man's, for he was call ing into question the "honor" of the "shark." Swindlers sold "mines," fought with their proposed victims and killed without compunction. Armed robbers ran off stock, stole horses from one class of immigrants aud sold them to another. As the horse was the sole means of transpor tation and valuable beyond human life. ; "boss stealing" was set down by the "districts" as a crime punishable by death. There were few courts, and such as there were were miles from the trail. A jury would hence be at once impaneled among those present, the man tried and if found guilty hang ed to a tree without ceremony. Hotels flourished and were prosper ous beyond imagining, for every one ■ spent money, and there was much flaunting. In the higher grade estab -1 lishments beverages were served in cut ' I glass; champagne was common. Every 1 resort was crowded with people. The newcomers frequented these places in I quest of information, paid 25 cents for a glass of beer made from barley grown by the ex-Confederate soldiers at Bozeman and sold to the Virginia breweries for 8 cents a pound, and not enough could be received to supply the demand. Table board cost $7 a day for the very cheapest, and if one slept in a chair in toe hotel lobby at night, when the rooms were all rented, he paid $1.50 for the privilege. Gold was the only medium of ex change. A pinch of it, between the forefinger and the thumb, as has been said, counted 25 cents. There would be a tendency with some men to take just a little bit more. When that ten dency was noticed in a man he was given hours to leave town—and it was seldom over two hours. The wise man did not stand on ceremony or protest he "vamoosed." in camp vernacular. The newspapers of the city sold for 25 cents a copy, red hot from the press, and full of news of lynchings, new dig gings. "clean ups," "hold ups," "bad men" and gossip of a breezy charac ter. Ham and eggs to order cost $2.50. Eggs were worth 50 cents apiece and an ordinary meal of deer or buffalo meat, with potatoes or coffee and bread, was never less tb&D $1.50. A man was very poor to get down to fare so coarse as that. It made no difference what a man might have been back in "the states;" If he was "on the square" in Virginia |he was accepted at par.—F. J.

Queer Figures Dot the Crest of the Superstitious Mountains. Among the natural wonders of tlMi southwestern portion of this country are the Superstitious mountains, which loom up from the arid desert to the east of the Salt river valley. These mountains are so curious that the Indians will have nothing to do with them. In consequence they aro full of deer, bear and other big game. The Superstitious mountains rise out of the level surface of the desert like the pyramids of Egypt. On the crest of this unique range and lu full view of the rarefied atmosphere for an Immense distance from the plain are hundreds of queer figures, repre senting men in all attitudes. When you look first you are sure they are men. and when you turn your gaze again to them you are as absolutely certain of It as you can be of anything. They represent ball throwers, out looks. mere viewers of the country roundabout, men recumbent and con templative. others starting a foot race and in every conceivable posture and position. They are not real flesh uud blood men. however—nothing but stone •yenite—yet nothing can convince the Indians that they are not gete r*. They say they u-
