ADOWN THH HUBRFANO, A NOVEL ADVENTURE, We wirecamped on the Huerfano river, near the site of the now famous | Pocahontas silver which then an unknown treasure house. Our party numbered ten, all told, including my brother Albert, an ox pert naturaiist and geologist, as several other gentlemen of like at tainments, who were devotlng their time to the study of the great canyons and giant domes of Colorado, My brother was a delicate-looking fellow, who loved nothing half so well as the study of rocks, while I, exult ing 1 flesh wud muecle, and consider ably younger, looked more of & man than he No unusual excitewent had dis- turb d our progress, saving an occa sional bear chase, or a spirited fight with a mountain cat. We had been remarkably fortunate in not runming across hostile Indiaus, and with less than usual cantion, thercfore, we were on our way east, The winter was well advanced, and the ground covered with a fall of snow, on which there was a solid crust Albert und T started out in the the moruiug, he to examine a canyon 80mo two or three miles up the river, while 1, with my rifle, proposed to shoot any kind of game which came inmy way. Avu vul amile out of camp we sep- arated, I taking Toby Trickett, a half grown lad, with me. Toby was full of odd kmd of fun, which often made the way a merey otie. Ho was also & confirmed tobacco chewer, the quanti- mine, was as well | ties of which he used was numullung marvelous, We traveled a long way without meeting any food for powder. *“Jertco and Jowsharps!”’ exclaimed Toby, a8 he loudei his mouth with a stock of bluckleg, “ef this yere ain't disgusiin,” We hain’t seen nothin’ to blaze at. I heven't had a chance to drar a bead on a bumble-buzzer. Let's Vit to camp, for I oy, shoot this here Runtin’ business,” “I don't fancy going back to camp without either fur or feather,” I re plied. *'1f you take back your own hair, young men, you may be glad,” inter- rupted a new voice, I turned to glance at the speaker, who advanced towards us from the thicket. He was certainly the hand somest being Tever saw in the shape of scout or woodsman, Fully six feot tall, of elegant shape, an open, frank oouutcnnncv and clustering locks of a warm ricn brown, he seemed to b the very incarnation of manly beauty. His dress, too, was noticeable frowm its tine matorial and adornments. Hia jacket was of & dark blue, buttoned closely over his breaat, with a triple row of silver buttons. Fringed panta- loons of buckskin encased his limbs, aud a sash of bright scarlet, i which were both pistol and huntingkuife TJpon his head a sombrero was placed, and in bis hand was a rifle, evidently one of the best, “Why, what's oin’ geu?” asked Toby, 1 being rather starded by the unexpected advent of the scout. ‘Is the blazwy’ blood-drivkers scootin’ "bout these diggin's?’ The stranger turned upon Toby a glance of steraness, and then said to me: “There’s a band of Sioux in this vally. They have just captured a white man, up the canyon, and usnt him back to their camp for torture.” “What was he hke!” 1 eagerly asked; while Toby demanded: “Was he sockdolergist, mong rocke?” “Yes; ho was pounding one of the rocks with his hammer when the savages stole upon him,” ‘It is Atbert my brother! g0 to his rescuo at once!” noseing T must “I'mogow’ to make a beelino g, home, you bet!” whimpered the far- ful Toby. “Yes, and bo captured, too, with the trail you leave “Tain't makin’ no trail,” The scont pointed some rods away to & dark stain on the snow, produced y one of Toby's expectorations. “You say here's Tojuns about’” tremulously ask.d Toby. He recoived a grave, confirmatory nod from the scout; aud Toby, kick ing off parc of the suow-crust where be was standing, discharged his mouthful of tobacco, and then care fully replaced the curust, with an ex clamation of satisfaction, “‘Whore are you going?’ asked the scont, as loby started off at a brisk pace. “Joricho and jowsharps! Tain't got 0o notion o’ furnishin’ ornymnts for an I jun belt, no Tl scoot for camp,” “Then acoot!” shouted the scout i urily, bestowing a hearty kick. “Scoo., then, you coward!” It was apparent that Toby was dis puuud Jto vbey the admonition “to rcoot,’ B0 1mpressively emphasized, and ina few moweuts we were leit alone, “*Now,"” said the scout, who it was plainly to be seen was & man of more hun ordivary intelligence, “‘you and 1 are going to take your brother and slido right out of their camp ” Aceordingly we took up our march toward the Lidian camp, where he - formed mwe my brother had been sent by lhu Warriors, u see,” he concluded, “there c.unml be wore than three or four In dians about, and they are the least ex perienced of the baid, The braves are on the war path and will not re- turn until evening. If we are to res { cue him, it must be now,” After a long and fatiguing climb, we stood on the top of one of the minvor ridges of the mountaing, Tow- enng around us ou every side were the tall chiffs of the wountains, their majestic peaks standing out clear and bold in the biting winter atmosphere Below us luy the dark thread of the Huorfano niver, locked in the icy em brace of a Coloiado winter, Leading down to the brivk from where we s'oud was a shoer descent, almost entirely unbroken by tree or vowlder. We were looking upon vne Liose mys erious phenomena known trwelrd eho ',H which nature has d erther by fire or tornado, T'ae shoot wus about sixty feet wide, and, with the «xeeption of s few jay ged rocks, affirded a cloar roadway from top to h atom. v was now cov ered with a glistening bed of frczen 8nOW, utterly impassable Lo mau or even the sure footed deer, k 1c was no time, however, to study this ice-slide, wlwn wy dearly loved THE DATLY BEI}"();\!AHA brother was a captive in the hands of remorseloss red aemona, We wero within a fow rods camp, and thither we our way through of the eautiously di a thicket of whispered the scout to me, 1 to an article known as a *“oboggan, have been enjoying as he poi standis against a tre he red fior sleighrides, 1 see! Sull more sitently we moved to ward the eamp uatil we caught sight of Albert standing bound to an im menso troe, just in front of us, Around the fire a considerable dis tauce boyond the prisoner were the bucks, lazily reclining on their blan- kets watching several squaws propar- ing & meal, I'he scout motioned me to remain where 1 was, while he began to creep toward Albert. This he succeeded 1 1oing, under the cover of the scrub oak which fringed the wholo camp, Nover in my lifo did 1 spend such an iotermiuable five minutos, My oye was fised upon the savages, and R my rifls at full-cock, ready to fire should an alarm be given, 1t seomed. to me that the acout must have eaeily traversed the dis- tance half & dozen times, So long was it, 1n fact, that T began to fear some accident had befallen him, I turned my eyes to eeo what was cecansioning the delwy. To my amaze. ment Albert was no longer bound. At that instant, my heart leaped into my throat as I heard the savage yell whien announced the discovery of the loss of their prisonor. The scout and my brother wero at my side. Horror thrilled our bosoms as we heard other shouts and Jouder ones, which rang and rave again through the suow-clad fastneses. We turned to seo the meaning of this increase of sound “Merciful heavens! The whole band have come back!” exclaimed my brother, “‘Wo are lost!” shouted 1, in a frenzy of excitement, a: I saw the sav- ages entering the other side of the wil lage, and, led by the surprised watch ers, started 1n pursuit. Tt had been possible to escape from from three or four ordivary braves, but to evade a hundred or more of the best and most experienced red woods men, that was impossible! “We are lost!” therefore I again said, ot mo,” responded the acout ‘“‘We have one chance in a hundred T'll tuke that chance!” So saying, he darted aside from the trail and seized the toboggan. ‘‘To the shoot! to the shoot!” he exclaimed. Meanwhile the bullets were clipping the brauches abont us on either side, and the air was cleft with blood- curd’ yells--such yells as only issue vom demon throats. They were gaining rapidly upon us, onc hideous stalwart especially naar, while but a short space behind were three or four others. It was doubtful if we could gain the shoot in time, but, straining every nerve, we reached it, with tho fore- most Indian not far -hnlmn Luckily for us, he had discharged bis rifl s early 1 the chuse, and must depend upon his knife or clubbed wen pon. As the scout threw down the tobog gan he shouted: “Give that head chap a dose! Don't waste your metal, else 1t will go hard with us!” He had placed his rifle in the hands of Albert, and was arranging the to- biggan— which, T must explain, is a #mooth board, about eight feot long, with the end turned up in front like the dashboard of & sleigh. This s held in position by thongs and posts set in the board, A toboggan of this length aflrds a sest for four people Ordinarily, not one of us would havo thoucht of vsing the shoot, for o descend that feurtul dechivity seem- ed cortain death, Now, the thought of the risk was not 80 appulling, with the alternative cf eruel torture and ignominous death behind ue, I stood a second only with my riflo powed. My musclo grow tense with thought that 1 must kill. 1 pressed my Land on the trigger, tho hammer fell, But thero was no report! The chief rushed upon me with his glewming knife brandished above, In a second more, the glittering stesl dropped from his hand, and with a groan he tell to the umunrl Albert had performed ghe work in which T had failed, But a few feet behind the gory body were two savages to take his place, “Got on! get on!” exclanmed the scout, as he set the examplo. In second we were seated on the oraft, aud it begin to move gently for- ward, The two braves were at tho brink, and one had his haud upon my shoul- aer, The quick wrench I gave precpitat- od the toboggan forward, and we be- gan to move faster, A couple of shots rang through the startled air, one of them striking the rear end ot the now awiitly moving sled, Wo d red not to look belud, but we heard the cries of vhe foiled sav- agos, as all-breathless they gathered st the brivk and hurled volleys of balls and yells of rage after us, The spoed with which we were de- «conding the mountsin side was mo- mentarly increasing. Tho tohoggun, with its glassy sur- face, was lyng over the icy path. The forest trees on either side ap- peared to bo rushing madly upward, whilo we seemed to stand still. So rapid was our flight that the heavy garments we wore were like sleeves through which red hot needles were thrast ivto our cold flesh, On and on, faster and faster, like the whiriwind, like the mountain tor- nado, we sped. Behind the snorting iron-horee we had never gone so fast, It was with diliculty we could breathe. The circulation of our blood ceasvd, and our hearts throbbed like the pulsations of a steain engine. L'ne pace was terrilic—it was mad- dening. When we could think we pictured ourselves dashod against the rock, our mangled bodies tossing down upon the black depths below. About two-thirds of the way down was a jagged rock, against which our frail bark was wildily speeding. The throbbing in my heart stood still. 1 closed my eyes in torror, but the hor rible fascination of that certain death was upon me, I did not dare to keep them closed. Just before we reached the rock the SAMTURDAY, SEPTEMPER scout struck the snowy erust with the butt of his rifle, and the toboggan aworved safely arcond the obstacle The impetus of our motion tore the weapon out of hia grasp, and it went spinning down the ineline, At last we had reached the foot of the descent, and were gliding, greatly reduced speed, upon the fre surface of the Huerfano, We were safe | Oftimes I lie awako at night, hoear ing the whistle of the winter's wind, but its shrilling blast scems as a whisper compared with the wild shrieking which sounded in my cars as Irode down the ‘‘shoot’ the Huerfano river. | | | Bucklin's Arnica Salve, The Best SALyk in the world for Oute, Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rhoum, ver Sores, Tettor, Chapped Hands, ‘Chil blaing, Corns, and all akin eruptions, and positively ent siles moor conts per hox It is guaranieed to movoy rotunded For sale hy .0 DOCTOR WHITTIER, 617 St. Charles St,, ST LOUIS, Mo "LAR GRADUATE es, hawbeen 10 gor ovgaced fn the ¢ eat went of CHRONIU, NERVOUS, AND BLOOD Diseasos than any other wu o aud allold of two medieal sent by i where.
