The circumstances were,” said the narator: *‘Some twenty-four years ago 1 was in the emplcy of the Overland Stage company. Reports came in _ that the Sioux were on the warpath and had been seen in large numbers near the Sante Fe trail, tho route pursued by our stages. 1 was stationed at the timo at time at Ft. Dodgo and had a_genoral su- pervision of the stages and live stock. Feeling somewhat uncasy, as sevoral coaches loaded with passengers and troasure were on the road, | selected one of the best horses in the stable and start- ed west on the trail. The afternoon of the thira day, upon reaching the top of a low sand dune, | saw at perhaps a dis- tance of three miles at least a score of red;skins filing over a small rocky bluff, 1 would havo rotraced my steps to avoid being seen, but discoyered that 1 was too late, as the Indians had changed their courso and were charging directly for me, “Pntting spurs to my animal T started on the dead run, not having much fear but that [ could escape. At first, how- ever, the race seemed a pretty even thing between the two foremoat of my pursuers and myself. Socn, however, tho distance between us was lengthened, and ofter riding hard jor a couple of hours my enemies had disappeared. 1 knew, how- ever, that | was not out of danger, and anticipated that every moment I would meet others of the morciless foe. In this I was not mistaken, as 1 had not pro- ceeded many miles further before a bullst whistled past my car. This was followed by & perfect volley. , At thesame moment some cotton-woods several hundred yards to the right seemed suddenly to become perfectly alive with Sioux, Dashing forth with a wild whoop and mounted on fresh horses, while mine was considerably jaded, tho distance was soon lessened nearly one half. Spurring my animal to almost inconceivable efforts, 1 soon had distanced all but three of the murderous gang, who were slowly gaining on me, keeping up an elmost constant fire meanwhile. Turning in my saddle, | fired at the nearest foe, who rolled from his eaddle, and his body was hidden in tho high grass which hero grow in wild prairie abund- a This caused n momentary pauso on the part of the other , but instant- ly, however, they were again in full cry. At this moment 1 for the first time be- camo aware of a now danger. 1 had for some time detected the odor of smoke, and looking up saw the lurid reflection of a prairio fire on tho sky. The sun had gonoe down and the shadows worc fast longthening on tho plain, Almost mad- doned with the terrors of my position, | urged my exhausted animal to the utmont said an apeed. Soon the hot breath of the flames seemed to lick my very eyeballs with their fervid tonguee, In thinking of tl uew horror I had almost forgotten the scarcely less terrible Sioux. Glancing hastily over my shoulder | saw that the two Indians wero closo behind me, 6vi- dently thinking that fear of the flames would muke me an I was at this time at tho of the ocean of fire, which v sing and crackling around me with a con- tinuous seething roar, At this moment, upon turning, I discovered one of llm redskins immediately nt my horso's heels, with tomahawk raised to cloave my shull, As quick as thought I raised my niflo pa tially and put a bullet through his brain, We were then just within the edge of tho llame, and as he fell headlong 1 could imagine the odor of burning flesh sizzling in tho fierco blast. Wrapped in a per- fect sheet of fire my maddened animal mado a Jast desperato leap and wo both fell, How long I lay there 1 know not. The sun was high in " the heavens when 1 regained conscioueness, and opening my '.:urmn" oyes I eaw a group standing around me. Ono glanco und 1 saw thoy were friends. It seems that my courso of the night before had taken me back again to the stage trail, and the eastern-bound coach had found mo there lying apparently on- ly & charred remnant of humanity beside my dead horse. A close examination, howover, showed that 1 was not dead, and restoratives having been applied | was soon recovered mufliciently to b placed in the stage. Itwas months be- fore I entirely recovered from my torri- ble burns and the fearful shock my sys- temn had sustained from the combined horrors through which I had gone.” —— te Book ) g The ¥el Troy Times. The female book agent is too often a fearful creature, setting at naught the cherished ideas of womanhood which command for it reverence and sdiniration in mesculine thought. The average wowman book agent. it is safe to say, is a terror to every one wha ever encountered If, after she has exhausted #at hor command of flattory, , appeal and subtle argument, the ot of her attack preserves his stern nees and his purse intact, he is & man of Agent, 'y heroic mold indeed.

Now and then, however, she adopts a new line of aseault, the very boldness and novelty of which gains success that could not be won by ordinary moans, One of these persistont females not mado the rounds of a Troy vassing for a book, which may be d “The Invitation to Christ"——a work of loftiest roligious churacter, Naturally ono would suppese that a lady canvassor for 80 pious a volume wou ave at loast assumed a subdued and chastened mein Not so this vigorous a Her method was to take the hc fo by storm, charge hor with neglecting the salvation of her own aud her children’s souls unless she forthwith subsecribed for the book or exchanzed for it one of slmilar character which she found in many families, This of bulldozing probably had its effect in some instances, but in others that may bo cited the lady canvasser found that her aystem didn’t work, »From two familios sho departed with wholesome admonitions, although sho eought them almost with teara, and depicted in a terrible graphic manner the ovil that should befall in caso of a rofusal to take **The Invitation to Christ.” Per- haps by this time tho Jady has loarned that a demeanor in kecping with the apirit of tho box would bo both more commendablo as an example and win her more satisfactory pecuniary roturns, | —— i SADED ENGINFE \ COOL-HE A correspondent, writing of a trip over the Rio Grande rond, eays: Leaving Salida wo have to uso two large mogul engines to take us over Marshall Pass, a grado twenty-six miles long and 217 foot to tho mile, winding around twenty-six degres curves, On ono side you look down 3,000 feot, while by looking up on the other side of tho train you can sce rocks hanging over you more than a mile high, one of the grandeat sights that a man ever saw, and worth the time and expenso of any man. Forty-four miles is counted a day’s work on this division for engincers, and their monthly earnings amount to from $160 to $225, and the risks they run and ability that are re- quired i worth all the money thoy got 1t is hore that our old friend *‘Curley” Whitnoy had his runaway. There is no doubt, however, that ho was nover quite 5o happy s when he could hang his stage full of passengers over some deep precipice as he deshed upon tho Sierras, around come curve, and stretched his eix horses out under the crackling of oflk at full gallop. And yet waa he really reckloss’ 1 think not: I think I seo something of an explana- tion of it all in the swift motion of bicye les through the air.” The man merely undeors the properiies of the alr better t others, and know well from long practice, that 80 long as ho could ift wotion it could 1 tho wheels wero keep his stage in_ sy not upset, even if *‘al over tho precipice.” Nover but once did ho ““upset,” and | that was on level ground and in his old age, as ho slowly turned about in ‘he yard to tako in passengers. Ho handed in his whip after that,ind would drive no more oxcopt on rare occasions, Genoral Albert Pike, who rode with him in the lust year of his lifo, and who knew him well; speaks of him as 2 man with a well- baluniced head and great good sense. There was ono littlo romance in his life, I am told, which ought to mako a dramu, A young orphan girl who admired tho old hero, b came his wife, and ho settled down, with his worn out “Tally Ho,” the first of tho famous swages of the Sierras, and with his favorite horses gath- ered about him, koping to end his days in peace. Only a partition divided his horses from his own little cabin home, and they offen put their heads in and ate bread from his hands as he sat at table with his hostler, a long, lank Dutchman, and his protty littlo wife, But trouble camo to the happy home all too soon. The old hero of the road was poor, and still had to bo away at his work. A handsomo gambler, the pro- fessed friend of the confiding man, made all the trouble.
