1IN TEE ROOKY MCUNTAINS BY A. DRUMMER. The sun had just set behind the rocky cliffs, and was casting long shad- ows over the level plateau before me, when 1 reached Sucker's Point, for my horse had lamed himself and could hardly travel, and I was tired, hungry and worn out, after a long journey. The town consisted of twenty or thirty houses, most of which were but one story in height, of good size, al- most square, and flat on top. T asked a rough looking man where I could find accommodations for myself and horse during the night and get some- thing to He directed me to a new, unpainted house, situated some little distance from the row of stores and shops. I rode up to this, and, after dis- mounting, was about to hitch my ex- hausted steed, when an awkward boy, apparently about fifteen or sixteen years of age, came out, and taking the reins told me to walk ‘‘right in,” as supper was ready, and that he ild attend to the animal. After giving the youth some instructions as to his care, 1 passed into a kind of bar-room or oftice, crowded with men, washing from a large trough fastened to the will at one side of the room, and laughing and jostling each other about in true western style. T inquired for the landlord and shown a jolly looking old chap, with iron gray whiskers and huge red nose and florid complexion, who advanced and shook me by the hand as thongh T had been a long lost brother, or the Prodigal Son, “What are the chances for getting a saddle horse to ride over to Dead Man’s Guleh?” T inquired. “Well, pard, T reckon you'll find it mighty hard to hire a hoss of any de- scription; we've got a few of course, but we seldom lend ‘em. A mining camp ain’t no good place to run a liv- pat, 1 started on a run for the heavy wood which was about a hundred yards distant, in the hope of finding [Some kind of shelter, and had just ontered its dark shades, made almost black by the approaching storm, when | a vivid flash of lightning pierced the | intense gloom in every direction.

When consciousness returned T was lying flat on my back, the rapid flash- ing of lightning binding me, and the thunder, which had now increased to a continuous roar, shaking me where I lay. 1 had partly recovered, and was making an effort to rise to my feet, when something, evidently a 1 stumbled against me and fell spraw ing to the ground. I remained pe fectly still, and by the next flash of lightning T saw a huge Indian stand- ing over my prostrate form, helding a huge knife asif to strike me, He had evidently mistaken this man, for instead of striking ho put his knife in his belt and knelt down be- sido me. Seeing T was not a corpse nor very dangerous looking foe, he took me by the arm and assisted me to my feet. Without a word from him, or any reluctance on my part, 1 was toward a huge tree near at hand. hile I stood dumbfounded, my new friend dropped to the groundand sud- denly disappeared, how or where, I knew not. I looked round, bewildered, and was about to turn away and seck shel- ter on the opposite side of the tree, for the wind had now begun to moan among the branches, and an occasion- al drop of rain found its way through the thick foliage, when I felt some- thing take hold of my foot and pull vigorously. As I looked down, an arm protruded from the foot of the tree and gave me another jerk. I took in the situation at a glance; the tree was hollow, and the Indian was inside and wanted me to follow him. What shouid I do? The wind sud- denly lulled, the lightning no longer | | tre. al 1 1- ery business in.” ““But my horse is lame, and will be unable to travel for a day or two, and T would like to leave him here and hire another. I would pay a good price,as 1 cannot afford to be Ilnyed.“ As I said this I carelessly jingled some pieces of money in my pockets; but this did not seem to have any effoct on the landlord, who said — ““It's no use talking, mister; I sup- se you know that you can’t reach ad Man’s Gulch 'thout going about forty miles, unless you go ng)nt, on account of High Ridge, about half way that often puazles a man to climb, let alone a horse.” - “But how do you get there?’ I asked. ‘““And how far is it by the nearest route?” ‘‘Oh, that's easy enough. There's a plain trailall the way, except a place about five miles from here, where you have to do some tall climbing. But if you are a good walker you had bet- ter go this way, for its only about eight or ten miles.” At this juncture supper was an- nounced by the ringing of a large cow-bell, and I found myself moving with the crowd into the large dining hall, a large, square room with a low ceiling, and with two long, rough ta- bles running the entire longth, After partaking of a coarse but rel- ishable meal, T had another talk with the host, and resolved to set out early mext morning for Dead Man’s Gulch, on foot. In the morning, at seven o'clock, I had eaten a hearty breakfast and was ready to start, ’I¥hu woather was fine, the pure mountain air exhilerating, and I felt in unusual good spirits, 1 belted my revolver around me and af- ter cutting a stout cudgel, struck out just as thesun was peeping over the top of the tall cliffs, filling the little village with splendor. It was a July morning but the air was far from having that oppressive- ness which 80 burdens our New Eng- land ntmon})hnro at this time of the the year, walked along a wagon road for about two miles, and then following the directions of the land- lord, I turned into a narrow trail or path that followed up the winding of a rushing stream, which kept coming toward me with such rapidity and violence that my head drew dizzy at times and I would have to look in an opposite direction. T went on this way for about a mile blinded me, the rain drops ceased to patter on the leaves, and all was again as quiet as the grave. The air was thick and choking, T felt an inde- scribable dread. But there was no time to waste; the storm would soon burst, and with no little misgiving 1 got down on my hands and knees and was half dragged into fthe hollow of the tree. Before I could pick myself up I was rolled over unceremoniously two or three times by unseen hands, while dry sticks, leaves and trash fill- ed my eyes, ears and mouth. As soon as I could gather my scat- tered senses I raisod myself to my feet and felt around me, for it was as dark as Egypt. 1 struck a match, and by the glare saw that the cavity was about eight feet in diameter, reaching up as far as 1 could see, and that the Indian was peering through the open- ing at which we had entered. At seeing my light he suddenly arose, and without a word picked up a bunch of lezves, held them over the flamo until they were ablaze, dropped them near the side of the tree, scraped away the leaves and trash to prevent the fire from spreading, and gathering some bark and trash soon had the- en- closure as light as day. He then mo- tioned me to hang my coat over the doorway, which I did without a sec- ond bidding, This strange being had not as yet spoken a word, hardly taken any no- tice of me; but now he leaned against the tree and scanned me closely from head to foot. I had a faint idea that he had made up his mind to roast me, and wondered whether he would be kind enough to kill me first ornot. I stood in silence, with my hand on my Iuntnl, detormined to make show, at east, of self defence when it came to the worst. He, probably reading my thoughts, took his kmfe, apparently the only weapon he carried, and reached it toward me. As he did so his wrist protruded from his buckskin blouse, and by the light of the fire T saw that his arm was of a very differ- ent color from his hand and face, and I knew he was a white man, Stepping near him as if to take the kniiull made a sudden movement with my hand, and jerking off a kind of headdress that ho wore, 1 saw that his hair underneath it was short and curly instead of being long and straight. At the same I drew my re- volver and said— ‘‘Don’t make n motion, or you are a dead man. 'Who are you, and what when the path, suddenly leaving the bank of the river, climbed the steep, ascent on my left in a zigzag manner’ that arroused my curiosity to know how it could have been laid out so crookedly, and yet with such uniform- ity. ‘It would indeed puzzle a hoss,” Tthought, as I gazed upward and watched the little road until it lost itself in the rocks and bushes. Before undertaking the task of climbing the hill, Tsat down ona bowlder to rest and take a last look at the ragirg cataract before me. After watching for a few momenis these hurrying rapids, I turned and com- menced to climb the bluff, which at once proved much more difficult than I had anticiputed, rising as it did in many places almost perpendicularly, and then again declining to an angle of forty-five degrees, and so on- After laboring for over and hour T found myself on an almost level pla- teau, covered with underbrush and projecting stenes, while farther on ahead of me a heavy body of tall tim. ber. 21 threw mylel{un a little mound of grass near the side of the trail, breathless, and prespiring freely. 1 had noticed while making the ascent that the sky had become clouded, but gaid little attention to it until now, as lay watching the pranks of the young squirrels as they frisked about on the boughs of a sapling, I noticed that the air was much warmer, and that the breeze was no longer blowing. The air grew darker and darker, and thr heat more oppressive. Every- thing was still. Nota leaf stirred. The squirrel, as if apprehending dan- ge:,“iumpsd to the ground and scam- pered away out of sight.

Then the trath for the first time upan me; a storm was coming on; T was -b@t&? be overtaken by & mountain 1 sprang to my feet d Tooked around for g By do you mean?” T had hardly finished the sentence when my pistol was snatched from my grasp, my feet knocked from under me, and I was lying flat on my back, with a foot set firmly on my breast, and my own weapon held in my face. I saw my mistake at once; I had not only acted hastily but very unwisely, and I knew, that, no matter what come of It, Ialone was to blame. Finally my captor, without remov- ing his foot or the revolver said— “T thought that I was dealing with o gentleman, and am willing to be- lieve it yet; but your actions have been very queer toward one who has rescued you from the storm and ireat- ed you kindly, or at least tried to, Promise me that you will be quiet and you can get up, and we will talk the matter over.” 1 readily gave him my promise, and stood up, “Tam very sorry that T should have to treat a gentleman so roughly, but I could not well help it under the circumstances.” Ho spoke in a caln, cloar voice, while I'stood trembling with subdued anger and mortification, for I always prided myself on strength and activity, as well as courage. I was about to make a reply when the storm, which was now raging with all the vehe- mence of a mountain tornado, and shaking the sturdy old tree that shel- tered us, tore a heavy limb from a neighboring tree and hurried it to the ground, striking the roots of our tree with great violence. The raging of the elements outside had a subdued effect, and feeling that I was under many obligations to this l“j“l"““ man, I extended my hand and said— “Wheever you are, doubtedly saved my life and *have treated me better than I deserve. 1 curtailll¥ meaut no harm. - Let us/be friends.” . ¢ en like a man,” he exclaimed {_uu have un- ;hbe of saf, t a8 dw“: broke thry:lz:ln-lik: s that pervaded and seemed 40 vend the mwountain to its very cen- shaking hauds heartily.

My brother wrote me from Dead Man’s Gulch to s once, as hie thought the villains here, and that you could get trac them if any one could. T stopped in Denver, but was unable to seo you, so I came on alone, and here T am.” “I knew all that—saw your brother to-day—have also seen the men weare after, and talked with them not twen- ty-four hours ago. There are two of them, and they have an old Indian with them who has been acting as a kind of servant. They have been liv- ing for some time past in a kind of cave in a gulch above here, but they have got wind of something, and have vacated. The old Indian will come here just after dark to get supper for the others, who will join him later, and stay for a few days. I overheard the whole thing about daylight this morning, by crawling up to the hut and listening.” The storm outside was still raging h unabated fury, and making such a din that we could hardly hear each other speak. The ground under us shook and quivered as peal after peal of thunder came and went in rapid succession. The great trees groaned as they swayed back and forth, as if trying to bear up under an overpow- ering weight, while the wind went howling and shriekine through the quaking bows above us like the cry of an angry demon. We seated ourselves on the ground and dropped 1nto silence, only occa- sionally replenishing the fire in order to have lith. At last T looked at my watch; it was nearly six o'clock. “What are the prospects of our shelter holding good until the storm abates?” I asked, turning to Brown, who was looking thoughtfully at the little blaze. ‘“The chances are very slim, I fear,” he answered; ‘‘the hollow undoubted- ly extends up to quite a distance, which has a tendency to weaken the tree.” As he finished speaking, a deafen- ing crash, which rose above the din of the storm, brought us simultaneously to our feet. “That is a commencement,” said Brown; ‘‘that was one of the largest trees, and our tree may go next.” But, strango to say, in half an hour the wifid began to calm, the thunder ceased, and the rain, which had been falling 1 torrents, held up, and in twenty minutes more we looked out and the sky was clear and the stars shining through the broken bough overhead; all was serene and quiet save the dripping of the water from the leaves into the puddles below. ‘“Just the thing,” said Brown. “They willbe here now, sure, and be- fore long, too. We must extinguish the fire at once, for the Indian will be here soon, and when he comes we must capture and hold him until we havo taken care of the others.” tree. T could scarcely breathe, and could feel the perspiration start all over me, 1 was undecided as to what course to pursuc when Brown in an instant threw a noose over the intruder's head, and by a powerful effort dragged him inside and threw himself upon him. After a slight scuffle which lasted but a moment, all was quiet. Before 1 could realize what had trans- pired a second head was thrust into the trap; 1 let my noose drop over it and tightening it with a jerk, threw my weight upon the man’s shoulders, pressing him to the ground, 1 had made a bad job of my work for instead of having the around his neck, as T intended, it had caught over the bridge of his nose and the back part of his head, Ina twink- ling the villain had drawn a knife and cut the lariat, near my hand, and made half a dozen strokes at wmy breast, but on account of his prostrate position lie did me no harm, Things were assuming a_serious as- pect, and T was compelled, in self pro- tection, to strike him on the head with my revolver, which I did with- out much hesitation. I feared for a time that 1 had struck him harder axed every muscle, and with a quiver was still. T looked up just in time to see Brown tie the knot that made his prisoner secure, and draw a deep sigh of relief. “Well,” said he, as he loosened the cord ‘around the prisoner’s neck, “‘that’s what T call a good job. * My man will breathe as easily as you or 1 in a few minutes, though he’s a little black in the face just now. How is your captive?”’ “T am afraid I've finished him,” T replied. ““Never fear that,” said Brown,after he had felt the man’s pulse and exam- ined his head. “}lu'lll be able to fight both of us in a few moments unless we secure his hands and feet as 1 have done those of my man, We then pulled the prisoner inside, and, after securely binding him,rolled him over near his companion. “Well, this is about all there is to it. The prisoners came to their senses in due time, but would not converse. We found a package of corn cake,dried venison, etc., which the old Indian had brought with him, and made a hearty meal from it. Before it was daylight Brownstarted for Dead Man's Gulch, leaving me to guard the pris- oners, and returned about ten o'clock with a squad of soldiers, who took possession of the captives,one of whom was shot and killed in attempting to escape before we reached the town.

The better way, I think,” he went on, “‘would be to let the first man comein undisturbed, and lasso the second as soon as we can see his head,” We extinguished the fire and sat down to wait. Inless than half an hour footsteps were heard outside, and in a few seconds the form of a man entered on all fours and stood upright, Weo had to imagine a part of this, as it was as dark as it could be; but it {mwud as we had expected, for Brown ighted a match, and we saw standing before us an Indian, He started back and raised his tomahawk when he dis- covered us, but suddenly lowered it at seeing two revolvers pointing at his head. 1 still kept my position while Brown lighted a fire, and the intru- der was disarmed, bound and gagged without much difliculty, and rolled to one side of our room, where he re- mained perfectly quiet, not even deigning to look towards us, “Well, my friend,” said Brown, “‘we have two of the toughest chaps in the land to deal with. It would be child'u'yluy to hold (uur revolver in one of their faces and order him to surrender, as we did this sickly old aborigine.
