In obedience to the stronger will and | tli" additional f;ict that Captain Bran - I don hr.d rescued him from his pursuers, i H. ward Blanchard submitted at once ' t«' his control and followed where he I led Bark into the hills they went un j til it was n< ;irly daylight, when How i ard. who had l>ecn stumbling on lieliind • with f» r as heavy as his heart, called out: "Captain, do you think we are bet tering i is» Ives by this flight?" "You ::r ■ deceived." replied the cap tain. "The man who gallops back for re-enf reemeuts when the battle is rag ing can hirdly !»• said to lie retreating. If Louis Kyle is living. I expect to hear fr m hira Ik fore the suu g.x s down. " The captain resumed the lead, and descending from the m< nntaiii side, which tiny had bet 11 traversing, en tered a valley. This valley narrowed as they went on, the sloping sides rising at a sharper and sh:irper angle until they became perpendicular and the val ley became a canyon. Through thiscan yon a thread of el. ar water flowed, with a splashing and waving that struck Hard to be out of all proportion oaks from which it was reflected. A few yards farther on How ard Blanchard discovered that the canyon terminated in a valley or de pression about a quarter of a mile in diani' tor. Excepting at a point directly opposite to that by which they had en tered, this remarkable valley was shut in by precipitous walls that roso up for 3,000 feet or more, and here and there detached masses in the form of pinnacles and looking like the mighty ruins of Gothic cathedrals roso for 1,000 feet higher. The stream flowing along the bottom of the canyon by which the two men had entered widened out into an irreg ular shaped lako a hundred yards wide in its narrowest diameter and flashing like a great mirror in the center of the rock rimmed basin. Here tho waters seemed to rest before rushing on through tho opening in the opposite wall, by which avenue they went down to join tho sulphur crusted rocks of tho won derful Yellowstone. Tho lako was fur ther fed by it waterfall that leaped from the summit of the wall, starting as a band of liquid silver and reaching the bottom a veil of iridescent foam. Tho irregular shape of this valley added not a little to its beauty. The few trees near the walls, the many shrubs bordering tho lake tuid tho grass carpeting tho ex pause were of various shades of emerald, each, iis tho oyo rested on it, seeming tho very pn-fection of nature's coloring "Why," exclaimed Howard Blanch ard, when ho could give utterance to his surprise, "this is wonderfull" "The Indians call it 'The Great Spirit's Council Place,' " said the cap tain, his face glowing in the soft light that suffused everything about him. ' 'And a fitting name it is. The com bined hands of humanity, working through all the- ages, could not build so glorious a strueturo to the honor of the ever living God," said the enraptured Howard. Captain Brandon, who had been stand ing ban hejuled, replaced his hat and said, "Let us lie moving on. " As Howard followed him ho asked, "Is it not curious that this place is not inhabited?" "It is a place in the belief of the In dians too sacred for man to dwell in. " "But white men could have no such feelings. " "True. White men consider no place sacred that they have not built them selvi s. Our altars are sacred in propor tion to the art we lavish on them. But thin temple has a priest" "A priest?" "Yes; a priest as pure and faithful as ever devoted his life to tho truth." "Who can ho be?" "This," said Captain Brandon, com ing to a halt, "is the homo of Daniel the Prophet." "< »f that remarkable being who came to our aid?" "Yes." '' The chances am lie is now a prisoner in B< niton's hands. " "No, Howard, the chances arc he has readied this place ahead of us." They had come to a halt opposite a serii of op.-'tiiiigs that looked like im mense honeycombs cut into the face of the wall. B ith heard a noise and bent to listen. From faroff depths they caught tho sound of a deep bass voice* singing. Howard recognized the air. Ho had often heard it in the camp meetings of West Virginia The words, at first indisr ingu ishabb\ became plainer and plainer, till he caught tho phrases: A string mountain la our Ooa. And the hills arc his footstool. "That is tli. Prophet," said Howard, awed by tie- sound and the silent sulv limity cf his surroundings. "Yes, he comes this way." The words had but passed Captain Brandon's lips when the rhythmic beat ing of feet could be hoard in cadence *.v - h the voice. Then the measure ''i .<< .!, and in more joyous tones the \>oi\.s rang out: *'l run Joseph, yt ur brother," he said. •And still Uj n.y heart are you dear V- n s<»ld nit*. You thought 1 was dt-ad. Lux God fur your hake sent me here.' By I a- ban on'a shadow we him to call to tho young man and invoke his aid. Henry Kyle looked t•> bo so different from the others that the doctor imagined he might lie bit tor, until he recalled that it. was lb iny Kyle who had come us a spy to their camp fin the plains and had nft*-i*ward ln'trayed thorn. Whib* he was thinking this over Claru laid her band on his shoulder and whispered to him, as if he read his thoughts: "Might wo not apjieal to Henry Kyle?" From the first the handsome, graceful youth h:ul made an impression on Clara, which he would blush to acknowledge to herself, but do what she wvuld she Could not banish him fr. m her mind ThedocUir sir -ok his head and answi r : "Why should we appeal to him? he Hot know the utter helplt ssness and misery of our situations?" "He dots, father, and yet something tells me he might bo itidu-ed touid us. " "If his own In art dees not induce him, our words will not" "Would you let me try?" "No, my child I cannot permit yon to sn.. M'tional indignity. Let us endure iu. , . nee till heaven sends us aid. " The doctor drew Clara lo h.s breast and kissed her beautiful white brow and left a tear on it The Indian pickets wore recalled by three rifle shots following each other at regular intervals. Black Eagle and his ten ludians were ravenously hungry— the nomad Indian seems to have been born hungry, and there is no authentic record of his ever having eaten enough | Bouton was too prudent to feed his j braves all they could eat Ho caused to i be set before them what he considered a i "square feed." And when they had finished every fragment and licked tho : platters clean he drew the young chief Blaek Eagle to one side aud said: "Black Eagle, you are the bravest man, white or red, in the mountains I want you to help me, I want you to take this white man, Dr Blanchard, | away from camp tonight. " "And where am I to take him?" "I do not know, nor do I care, only this—he must never be seen again. " "Not even his scalp?" "No." "It shall be as you say. When am 1 to return?" "As soon as you can. " "By daylight?" "That will da " "Good! My braves and I will rest. Wako us when you are ready," said Black Eagle He went over and lay down among the dusky reuogades, and Bouton sought out the Bliss brothers and sat down be tween them. "Well," he said, with the expression of a man who had got rid of a care, "that point is settled " "What jxiiut?" asked Sim. "About the old man. " "Going to send him off?" " Yea " "With whom?" "Injuns." "What will they do with him?" "Lose him." "Lose him I" echoed the two brothers. "Without the ghost of tho shadow of a doubt. I wish we had the old man's son in the same box. " "But you are sure you can get him?' This from Sim. "I'm certain. Now, my friends, let us rest till midnight " Bouton drew off his boots, wrapped a bhuiket about his shoulders and lay down with his feet to the tiro. He was soon asleep; but, though the Bliss broth ers imitated his actions and attitude, they could not sleep They lay side by side, talking in whispers, mid starting nervously when the wind, with stronger force, shook the boughs above their heads or contended with the murmuring current near by. They were awake at midnight when Blaek Eagle came over and roused Bou ton. They sat up and anxiously watched the movements of the two men. The In dians quickly saddled their horses, and Bouton went over to where tho doctor lay awake, on the opposite side of tho tree from his sleeping daughters. "Doctor," whispered Bouton, "1 want to speak with you. Come over to tho lire, " Anxious not to disturb his daughters, but wondering much at tho man's mys terious manner, the doctor obeyed him. Instead of taking his victim to the fire, Bouton conducted him to where Black Eagle and his braves were standing bo lido their horses. At a signal from tho leader Dr. Blanchard was seized, gag ged and bound on the back of one of tho horses. So noiselessly was this done that tho men sleeping near by were not dis turbed The litho figures swung into the saddl<>s and the dread cavalcade crossed the stream and was swallowed in the darkness. CHAPTER XIL In tho Prophet's cave, where slept Captain Briuidou, Louis Kyle mid How ard Blanchard, there was no variation of light to tell tho changes that were going on in tho outer world. The Prophet had that rare gift, an intuitive conception of the passage of tima He carried no watch, and he but rarely looked up at tho sun, for which ho had as Idolatrous a reverence as the fin* wor shipers, who, in tho far back ages in habited these mountains and kept their sacrificial altars burning on tho highest summit "Awake, arise! The Philistines bo in our borders!" shouted the Prophet, when the time allotted for slumber hiul passed. At the sound of the deep sono rous voice the men sprang from the ground, some of them seizing their arms in alarm. Howard Blanchard, who was wholly ignorant of the methods of this remarkable man, stared wildly about him as if expecting an attack. As the Prophet spoke he brought out dried meat from tho recesses that honey - oomlied the immense chamber, and set ting the example he would havo tho Others fellow ho ate heartily and filled a pouch slung over his shoulder. "See that your arras and ammunition are ill good order. Gird up your loins as did the Gidoonltes of old, for, as my soul liveth, it will not faro well with them who beset our paths in theso mountains." "Wo aro all ready," said Captain Brandon. "It is well Now, that wo may ad vance with more rapidity, I havo pro vided torches. Hero are three." Ho luuuhd tho captain, Howard Blanchard and Louis Kylo each one. "Light them at this altar. " Thero was always a light burning on the altar when a fire was not blazing there. Tho Prophet lit four large earthen lamps, and placing ono on each corner muttered a prayer that sounded like an incantation, then shouldered his rifle and strode away in advance. To Howard Blanchard it looked as if their course lay into the heart of the Titanic cliff that towered above tho •Mi trance of tho cave, and such in truth was the case. Oil they went past tho fountain where they lind bathed that morning, and along gloomy galleries whose vaults the torches failed to reveal and whose blaek glistening walls looked like the mythical furnaaos of the lower world in which the fire had Ism long extinguished On and on and up and up, through this awful temple of silence, this cave of tho shadows, this hiding place of night The lightest footfall echoed and re-echoed farther and farther off till lost in shadowy whispers. Up and on, the ohnmliers becoming smaller and tho passages or galleries shorter and narrower, until at length the most slen der had difficulty in getting through. Without any premonitory glimmer of twilight the Prophet led them through a narrow opening und out into the gold en sunlight and under tho d<-op blno vault "Thank God for the light!" exclaim ed Howard Blanchard as he tossed away tlio smoking fragments of his torch. The Pr-phr-t *am\ hi* arms, anil turning to Captain Brandon said: "Now you t.ikc the lead" "The horses :uv near by in the Pr phot's glen, " said Luis Kyle. "Then we must go there first. " The captuin stepped into the advance, and within a mil*' lit- led them to a bowl shaped valley, in which were m.-Jiy h"i>>«-a, tlie two herders left back by Luis Kyle keeping watch over a uumber that wore stivked "I have here horse s anil saddling enough for all The plunderers do not lay my property. " The Proph et went to a little hut near the center of the valley and r.mie out with three sets of equipments. In a short time all the horse.-* mo-s --sary to give each man a mount were setter reason forgoing in another direc i tion. " "Leave my own plan to myself.'' The Prophet raised his hands in bene diction and said, with great solemnity: . "May the God cf Abraham and Isaac | and Jacob and all the prophets guard you and waicli over you. Amen and amen.'' Without halt, over hills, into valleys, across streams, the men kept on f< r hours. Urn don in the advance aud leading the rush of horsemen. In three Oil timi on mi J up uml up. hours the horsemen reined in on the summit of u hill, uiul the Indian who had been in advance extended his ami and pointing down said: "Sew the fires in Bouton's camp!" "Let us dash on," said Howard Blanchard, eager to hasten to the rescue of his father and sisters. "No, no, " said the captain. "Cool ness, not impetuosity, must win. Wo must find out the situation and all about the force we have to contend with be fore risking our lives. " He was about to detail Louis Kyle and one of the Indians to go into the valley on the scout when all were star fled by hciiring the approach of two horsemen. Enjoining silence on the men and drawing them back from the trull. Captain Brandon dismounted The horsemen from the valley halted about the middle of the hill and 200 yards l>o low the point occupied by Brandon's ),»arty. "Stay hero, while I find out who those people are," said the captain, handing his bridle to one of the herders. Without another Word Captain Bran- dou disappeared in tho darkness, and 80 silent wore his movements that they did not disturb tlio mormor of voices com ing up from below. More silefft than the gentle night wind that trsvayed tho cedars along tho mountain side, tho cap tain approached tho horsemen, indis tinctly visible between his eyes and the . glow of tho distant campflre. Measur ing his distance by the sound of their voices, ho reached a point where he could mako out every word and halted. His fine ear detected and recognized tho speakers as liobb and tho renegade Patch. "That's the solidest kind or sense, Robb, but can you got through yer wool what ho took tho Injuns in for and sent us out?" ask<>d Patch.

Should Get Together. Tho demand of the sllverltes is for cheap money. It is the main Item In their oread. Plenty of cheap money to pay off the gold hairs' mortgages. Bat now oomes the boy orator, who declares that the free stiver eolnage law will send silver np to $1.89 per ounce. If such Is the case it will net bo cheap money, but every bit as dear as gold. There Is a contradiction her*. Money can't be cheap and dear at the same time. Which is right? The boy orator or his followers? They ought to get together and try to .reconcile their divergent views. As the case stands now the general public will refuse to bslleve either of them.—Holllduysburg Register. Ilad for tha People. The government on Its owraeconnt has eolned nil the silver that Is In olrcalatlon, and guaranteed It to be kept at a par with gold.

THK more wo think al>out Mr. Bryan's campaign the more forcibly we are re minded of tho late Mr. Bnrnum's methods of circus advertising. Bryan loses no op portunity to gain notoriety; he goes out of his way to get publicity. There Is some thing not altogether edifying In the speo taclc of n candidate for president being carried around the country and exhlbltod as the latest curiosity, the Boy Orator of tho Platte. It smacks of the dime museum and the cheap patent medicine—both of thorn, to be sure, excellent things In their way. ' Mr. Bryan's quick tour through the east appeals to the solier-iulnded commun ity as tawdry anil spectacular. TUB silver fanatics say that when Bryan Is elected sllvor will go to $1.89 an ounce. Why don't they turn In, then, and buy silver at about half the prlco to which they say it will advance ? They can't lack money—for many of them are wealthy mine owners. They do lack ixmfi donco Jin their own prophecies They would like to have tho other follows put the price up. They have enough to sup ply them all. What a market they would have If only tho public would bite at the hook which has been halted for gudgeons. If auy of them really believe what they say, they would buy all the sllvor offered.

We Want Employment. We want not more sllvor but more em ploy men t. The Putted Status treasury contains $79,000,1100 of silver dollars, which weigh 11,000 tons.
