Tlio haunts and headquarters of the hand were in the innermost recesses of that great mountain watershed from which spring the wnters of tho (i recti, the Wind mid tlio Kmtke rivers. On that continental divido is a series of deep and remote, mountain basins. In these basins hid Jackson nml his gang. High nhovo them rose tlio towering peaks of tho 'Three Tetous. ' These peaks look over four states. Jackson's Holo, Mar ket Lnko Glen nnd Teton basins are well known ns outlaw resorts. Jackson's Holo is where the outlaws hung ont principally. Iu the midst of n vast mo rass that ouly tho Initiated cau reach is a strong fortress of logs, palisaded, lonpholod nnd provisioned. The gang always retreated there. "Market Lako Uleu housed Bob Tur ter, the fence of the gang. Tarter took tho stock they stolo, changed the brands and kept the animals until thoy could be driven oft and sold. Tarter himself was a notorious criminal. Nine times was he arrested, aud nino times did his captors fail to hold him on account of lack nf e vldence. Ho and Teton were the closest friends. "Tutuu's capture seven years ago was due to uu expedition ho and Tartor planned. With ouly ono of Ills men, Blncky Murks, Totou rodo down from tho mountains and went doep into Ida ho. Oil the limits of tho Blackfoot Iu diau reservation tho two mou rounded up 40 head of marcs uml colls from the ranges of Hines and Stout. Tbcy started with them for western Wyoming. Pur suit was prompt, uud tlio truil was easy to follow. Along tho route taken by Jackson and Marks' tho pursuers found tho bodies of horses, strangled to death by tho outlaws becuuso they could not koop up with the other horses. The rob bers readied the southern slopes of the Wind mouutalu before thoir pursuers, who lost the truil there uud were forced to return to Blackfoot. "A couple of cattloiucu, however, took up the hunt aud guessed that the robbers would strike pretty close to Johnson county, Wy. They telegraphed to (Sheriff Canton, who kopt a lookout for the thieves, aud, sure enough, they turned up in Johnson county. Canton let a redhot pace in the chose. Accom panied by ouly one doputy, he run the thieves to earth. In the dusk of an even ing be surprised Teton in a hunters' cabin of the Big Horn mountain, Jack ion was secured, and Cnnton brought him aud the stolon stock to Buffalo, the county seat of Johnson county. Bluoky Marks had skipped away two days be fore, and was not caught. "At Buffalo, Canton turned Jackson over to Hosford, one of the two mou wbo divined the outlaws' course. Hos ford took Teton to Blackfoot, where hia trial was wound up in short order. Te ton said at the trial that he would not serve his sentence, but would got out and do up Tarter, whom he aoensed of swindling him out of a share of the pro ceeds of a sale of stolen stock. Wbilo Teton was in custody a marshal and posse started for Jackson's Hole. Bill Thompson, Teton's lieutenant, met them half way with his gang, and drove them back like wind plays with chaff. They went back to Blackfoot, where they found a message from Thompson, aying he was still about aud would like to see them. They didn't go book. "Teton kept hi word. He slid from out the bars of the Boise City peniten tiary like an eel through a sleeping darky's Angers. He soon let every one know he waa at large. Tarter got it first, I think.

It would take a pret ty olever person to flatter mo." "Indeed it would I" chimed in the girl in the pink waist rapturously, for she had struck ground. "I've thought that of yon for a long time. Isn't it itraugo?" Howell beamed. "Hnve you?" he said. "It ouly shows how much in sympathy we are. I have my failings, of course, but susceptibility to flattery ia not one of them.

There was a seraphic peace on How ell's countenance as he said good night and weut ont through the hall with the firm aud buoyant stride of a man who feels in bis soul that ho is an exception.

The strange experience of being dry docked ou an iceberg is told of by Cap tain Chester of a Pnciflo coast fishing schooner. Ho says that he made fust to a big berg which was stranded off the coast of Alaska for the purpose of re plenishing his stock of ioe, mid after getting sumo 80 tons of it ou hoard, the berg suddenly careened over to the side opposito that on which the schooner was mado fast, uud lifted her high uud dry ont of water, held fust in a groove. The men took the boats aud went to a safe distance to watch tho proceedings. The berg gradually settled more aud more, lifting the schooner higher and higher, until her anchor cable caught tho strnin. Then, as the end of the berg weut up, the anchor held and pulled the schooner off, bows first and unharmed. Tho rest of the ice was loaded by boats, uud tho schooner kept clear of the berg.

One gets an idea of the magnificent distance! of the czar's realm from learn ing that a Russian general who waa in a hurry to get to St. Petersburg from Vladivostok found the time saving route was to go to Yokohama by steamer, thence by another steamer across the Pa cific to San Francisco, by rail to New York and by steamer to Europe, The gap between the finished sections of the Tranasiberian railroad is io many hun dreds of mile in length that the general would have lost time in traversing the wilds of that vast country, where hones furnish all the transport.

"Fort tiifihMy Review. Tha Moon. In the opinion of Professor Asaph Hall, ns recently expressed, the problem of the physical constitution of tho moon is one that yot remains to be solved. Of the "craters, " scattered all over her sur face, the volcanic theory of formation fails, ho thinks, to he satisfactory. An other notion to which he refers is that, ages ago, the moon was surrounded by swarms of "moonlets, " which eventual ly wero precipitated upon the moon's surface, forming the craters now seen. Thus, (he Mare Imbrium was created by tha impact of a huge moon let, 90 miles -in diameter, which, in striking, was raised to such a high temperature as to molt its snbstnneo. An immense hole or crater being formed where it struck, the molten material of the moon let spread in every direction for a vast distnnoe, partly filling up oii:er craters; fragments flew to distances of n thou sand miles, scoring out deep fnrrows, one of the hitter, as now seen, being 187 miles long, 10 to 35 miles broad, and with a depth of 1 1,000 feet. IIow Fast tho Karth Movea. Everybody knows that the earth makes ono completo revolution on its axis once in each 84 hours. But few, however, have any idea of the high rate of speed at which such an immense' ball must turn in order to accomplish the feat of making one revolution in a day and a night. A grnpbio idea of the torrifio pnee whioh tho old earth kcep:i up year after year may be had by comparing its speed to that of a cannon ball flred from a modern high pressure gun. The high est velocity ever attained by such a mis sile has been estimated at 1,620 feet per second, which is equal to a mile in 8 3-10 seconds. The earth, in making oue complete revolution in the short space of 24 hours, must turn with a velocity almost exactly equal to that of the cannon ball. In short, its rate of ipecd at the equator is exactly 1,607 feet per second. This is equal to a mile every 8 C-10 seconds, 17 mile a min ute. St. Louis Bepublic. Itl Kxeltrmeut In Town.
