LEGEND OF THE DEVIL'S SLIDE. Frederle Morrie In Short Stories. In the heart of the Rocky Mountains there | dwelt in ancient times a spirit or gnome, to whom the Indian tribes around about gave the name of Hal-Walla, He was a spirit of great power within the limits of his do main, which extended deep into the bowels of the earth. Myriads of fuferlor gnomes were subject to his rule, and were employed under his wise domain, in administering th business of his kingdom; checking and con- { trolling the rude forces of the fires that rage in the th's bosom, and making it seriveable in charging th rocky flssures with ores and minerals. But onc in a while, In the course of the centuries, he tires of his monotorous and gloomy life, and then it fs his habit to come to the surface for a holiday. At first, in the far distant times, he found the arth inhabited by hideous monsters and his only sport was to hunt the fehthyo saurus, or to punge p into the pathless forests, and engage in flerce encounter with a terrible biped, who is known to us only as the prehistoric man. Hal-Walla, however, was rather peaceable than warlike; and after a few such visits he wearied of this rough sport, and many centuries came and went before he visited the upper earth again. Great was his surprise to find t the mon- sters of the early times had disappeared; the glant forests had given way to woods of much smaller growth; but what interested the gnome most of all, was the sight of a number of Indian villages, which clustered in the peaceful valley below. The men, women, and little children were a revela- tion to Hal-Walla. They reminded him strangely of the fierce beings he h d grap- pled with in the forests of prehistoric times, and yet they were so different. Clad in scant, bright colore garments, their red skins shone with cunningly painted d signs. Their manners were gentle—for it was a peaceable Indian tribe that built its wigwams on Hal-Walla’s domain. They were kind to their women, and the children played harmlessly about, shooting at marks with small bows and arrows, running swift races, or flylng on their ponies over hill and dale. Dwelling invisible and unsuspected among them, Hal-Walla took delight in studying the ways and habits of these beings, o new and strange to him. He soon learned their language, and often sat at night in thefr wigwams, listening to their talk about their ponies, their crops, the chase, or the danger that threatened from hostile tribes. And while the spirit thus dwelt in their tent their good fortune was wonderful. For Hal- Walla caused their crops to grow as they never did before; and no arrow sent after a buffalo or deer, no matter how young and raw a hand, was known to miss its mark; and once, when a band of hostile red men came swarming over the mountains to at- tack the peaceful dwellers In the valley, he assumed a shape of terror, drove them before him like cattle, and slew them in great num- bers. All this led these simple folk to believe in the presence of a good being among them, and sweet to Hal-Walla were the words of thanks and praise which he overheard at their campfires at night. But one day, as the gnome was roaming about the moun- tains, he spied a maiden, fair and beauti- ful—an Indian princess, the only daughter of the great chief Winotah, of the powerful tribe of the Utes. She was scated, chatting with her girl playmates and attendants, at the foot of a huge waterfall, which went swirling and tumbling into a rude natural basin. The subsequent conduct of the gnome, as we shall presently see, would indicate that her innocent beauty impressed him deeply; for when, on the next day, the maldens came again to sit by the waterfall, they were amazed to find the scene wholly changed. Tall trees, which had not been there before, made a shady grove about it; the wild sweep of the cataract had been checked, so that it now fell with a gentle murmur into the basin, which had grown large and wide, and was filled to the brim with cool, limpid water, showing the pebbly bottom in its transparent depth. “It is the Good Spirit who has done this,”” cried the maidens; and, amid wonder and laughter and congratula- tion, they speedily prepared for a bath. The privcess was the first to venture in; but no sooner was she immersed, than she sank out of sight. Vainly her shrieking companions clutched at the glossy black hair, as they saw her disappear; and when Visula, the princess’s favorite, plunged in to share her fate, some unscen power prevented her from sinking, and she could only float lightly on the limpid surface, like a petal from a wild Tose. Frightened and weeping, the girls re- turned to the village, and imparted all that had happened to Winotah. The chief rent his garment. scattered to the winds the plumes that waved so proudly on his head, and grieved for the loss of his favorite daughter. After awhile he took courage, and went to view with his own eyes the fatal spot where she had disappeared. But the magical illusion was gone, and the waterfall tumbled in unbridled fury down the moun- taln side as it had ever done in the memory | of man. Meanwhile the princess. who had lost con- sclousness when she felt hersell sinking, had been carried by Hal-Walla through his subterranean kingdom to a beautiful vailey, which his magic had filled with wonders. When she awoke, she found herself reclining on a grassy knoll, dressed in bright gar- ments; and the sunlight, glinting through the shady trees, fell on the form of a handsome young chief, standing reverently before her. This was none other than Hal- Walla, who had assumed this pleasing shape as being most likely to find favor in the eyes of the mald. In glowing words he spoke to her of love; told her the secret of his belng; told her of his great kingdom in the bowels of the earth; of the power he posscssed to bring good or evil fortune to her tribe; and so wooed her for his wife. But the princess only sighed In answer, and reproached him with tears for having removed her from her people. Nothing that Hal-Walla could say or promise seemed to glye her cheer; and he was forced to real- ize that he had been too sudden, and must patiently seek to win her by degrees “These things require companionship,” he sald to himself, when he had thought the matter over. “She must be amus will set everything right.” And flash he flew out into the flelds where the naize was ripening, picked a dozen ears, and brought them with a triumphant smile to the princess, who was wandering discon- solately under the trees. “Fairest daughter of earth,” said he, “I have brought what will give thee joy. Take these ears of maize; touch them with this magic rod, and give them the form of any being thy heart desires.” So saying, he wiscly left the princess to herself, and she lost no time in availing herself of the gift. Touching one of the ears with the rod she cried: *Visula, dear playmate, appear! and instantly Visula lay at her feet, kissing her hands, and, in her joy, laughing and weeping at once. The {lluslon w s0 perfect, that the princess knew not whether she held in her arms the real Visula or merely her shadow. But this gave her no concern. She surrendered herself wholly to the delight of having her dearest friend with her; and the two wan dered arm-in-arm about the gardens and grottoes and groves with which the gnome had adorned the valley, to make it a pleas ant abiding place for his fair prisoner. The beautiful princess soon converted all her supply of maize cars into the girl friends she was accustomed to. She was now far less lonely, and scemed to graw brighter and more content; so that Hal-Walla congratu- lated himself on his penetration and the progress he was making in the knowledge of human kind. But as the weeks slipped by, the princess began to motice that her companions werc growing pale and siekly. She alone, among them all, bloomed fresh and fair as a rose. One. morning, when she stepped from her wigwam, what horror was hers when she aw that they had all wrned old and hag gard, and were so weak that they could arcely move In her terror she called loudly for Hal-Walla, who immediately ap peared. Base Spirit," she eried is it not enough that thou hast deprived me of my feedom? Why ftake from me my only solace, th companionship of these dear maids? What hi® happened to them? W\ d look $0 old and strange “Blame me not, fair maid replied the Spirit h it you remember, but ears of malze. As long as they were fresh the mag rod lent life and youth to the forms they borrawed But now the fuices ¢ nature are dried up within them, and jon they w return to du Do but touch them once again wi She did as she was bidd as she touched them, the shadows vanished, and only a handful of dried-up malse ears re mained Weep not, falr one,” continued the Spirit What our bounteous Mother Nature gave us once she will give again. In a flash T will return with a new supply.” 0 saying, he vanished, shot through space and arrived at the maize fleld. But much to his embarrassment, he found that the malzo had all been garnered, and not one ear remained. When he returned to the princess, she saw by his manner that some thing had gone wrong Thou hast deceived me,” cried she “Where Is the malze? Malden,” he answered, “wilt thou for give my want of fo \£? Inexperfenced in the ways of mankind, T wholly forgot that the maize had been garnered, and there is none left in the fields. Have patience with me but one short week, and thou shalt have maize ears in abundance.” The Spieit thereupon, with the help of his gnomes, quickly plowed and planted an acre gronnd thick with the preclons corn. Tho underground fires were made to heat the soil, while he poured rain in abundanee from above. Quickly the green shoots poked their heads above the ground, and throve and grew apace. But with all this thoughtfulness and anxi ety to please, not a smile or answering look could he win from the fair princess. Pa tiently he anticipated her every wish, hop ing for the time when Lis devotion would be rewarded. But in this he reckoned without his host. He was, after all, but ¥ novice in his study of the hwman heart, and had taken it for granted that the maid's affections were disengaged. Poor spirit! He knew not that the princiss had not he to glve him, since for more than a year she had loved Idanha, a young chief of tho tribe of Shoshone, whom she was to have wedded at the period of the next new moon. But so0 closely had she kept the secret guarded in her bosom that the gnome even now had no suspicion of the truth. While he worked by night and day. to hasten the growth of the maize, which he fondly hoped would restorc the maid to ber wonted cheerfulness, her thoughts were busy with a plan of escape. In a week's time, as the spirit had prom {sed, the malze was ripe. Each day the princess went to the fleld, plucked a few ears, and once more gave them forms of life. But to one of the ears she secretly gave the form of a magple. *Fly, talking bird,"” said she “till thou comest to the tribe of the Sho shones, and tell the young chief Idanha that his beloved is foully held prisoner by the Spirit Hal-Walla, but is planning to escape. BId him wait for me in the Valley of Pines, the third sleep from now, with horses and men. Begone, away!' The Dbird obediently rose in the air, and her eyes followed it longingly till it faded in the dis tance. The young chief had meanwhile taken the disappearance of his dear princess greatly to heart he became melancholy and sad, cven the chase lost its attractions. —In the depth of his misery he derived a gloomy comfort from the profound solitude of the forest, where he spent his time mourning for her as dead. One day, as he sat brooding thus, the stillness about him was broken by the sharp, shrill utterance of his name. ~As he started %o his feet the cry was repeated, and he saw with amazement that it came from a mag: ple, who was sitling on one of the lower limbs of a gigantic fir tree. With the it logieal intuition of love a vague hope thrilled through his soul, and, holding out his hand he invited the bird to perch upon his finger The magple accepted the invitation. de livered the message which the princess had sent, and then fluttered away, leaving the astonished Idanha in transports of happi ness. With a cheerfulness to which he had long been a stranger he returned to his wig- wam, got together (he braves, ponies and provisions he nceded, and set out straight- way for the Valley of Pines. On the third day the princess prepared to exceute her plan. The sun was painting the hill tops in golden glory, and the earth was fresh with the moist odors of the awakening day, when she came forth from ler wigwam in Al the radlance of her beauty. — Well she knew whom she would find lingering about, and when she advanced to meet him With a smile of promise on her lips—the first she had ever bestowed upon the unhappy gnome—his rapture knew no bounds. ‘Fair one,” cried he, “hast thou come at Jas+ *3 reward me for my long faithfulness? Tu say the word that will make me the hap- piest of my kind?” The wily princess blushed and cast down her eves. “Immortal spirit,” she answered, ‘“how can a mere daughter of earth withstand thee? It is true thy gentle constancy has taken my heart captive; but what proof have I that thou wilt always be patient and kind, if I make thes my master, and consent to be thy spouse?” “Set me any task thou wilt,” cried the gnome, joyfully, “that I may show how pa- tient and obedient a slave I will be to thee, and I swear by my immortal being that I will perform it.” “Be it so,” said the shrewd princess. “If we are to be wed I have a fancy for a grand festival. Go you, then, to the maize field and make a faithful count of the ears that are growing there. But mind you make no mistake! Then will T give them the forms of the people of my tribe, that I may be wedded with dancing and feasting, as be- comes the daughter of a great chief.” Reluctant as the gnome was (o part from the maid at the very moment when he fondly believed—his constancy and devotion had touched her heart, he had no choice but to obey. In a twinkling he was at the maize field and busy with his task, But Hal-Walla was clumsy at counting, and in the eagerness and excitement of his new born hopes he made so many mistakes that his figures were soon involved in an almost hopeless tangle. The princess, meanwhile, had no sooner disposed of the gnome than she prepared for instant flight. She had a good stout maize ear ready at hand, which a touch of the rod transformed into an enormous eagle, and as she lightly leaped upon his back he sored into the air and bore her away. loating high above the mountaln peaks her sharp eyes scanned the varying panorama below, until they distinguished the Valley of Pines. With a steady hand she guided the cagle's flight to the spot where Idanha and 1 braves were walting, and as the bird bore h safely to the ground, she threw herself, de lirfous with joy, upon her lover's breast. After wrestling long with the hateful prob- lem, the gnome finally completed his ' task and retuned to lay the results at the fest of the mall. But when he found mno trace of her cither in the grove, grotto, or the garden, a dark sus plcion flashed across his mind. Instantly rising to the heights of the clonds, he spied his fair prisoner, her lover and his braves, just crossing the boundary of his domain beyond which he had no power. With a wild howl of rage, he guthered up some clouds in bis fist and lurled (hem after the fugitives. A terrific thunder storm broke over their heads. Cursing the whole human ace, and the feminine portion of it in par ticular, the gnome dashed madly into the tempest he had coused as best suited to his humor. Then taking a last look at the rth, which had suddenly grown hateful to him, with the thunder and lghtning, wind and’ rain raging and warring and flashing about him, he threw himself headlong down the mountain side Into the bowels of the rth, and resumed the sway of his sub- terrancan kingdom But the path he plowed through the rugged rocks as he shot downward still remains, like a gigantic causeway, and will in all likelihood endure thus till ‘Time fs gray. ruly, “the evil that men do lives after them' —and the same may be said of spirits The good that Hal-Walla had done was soon forgotten, and he was remembered only as + Evil Spirit, who lad wickedly abducted the fair princes Aud as the generations came and went, these rocks, marking he place of his violent \t, recelved the name of the “Devil's " To Cleans the System.

As a_birds-eye view of French history, The Evolution of an Empire,” by Mary Parmele, is a brilliant piece of work, It I8 graphic, forcible, clegant, entertaining, in- structive. As a study of history, however, it is too dazzling—too graphic, {00 much & flaming outline. Centuries fiit in a twinkling, swords clash and guns blaze as if the times lad always been fraught with bloodshed and onquest, when in reality all these stirring events have occupled but a minor place on the canvas of history. The years of the past lave been prosier, more peaceable, and in ct, less eventful and bloody than our own times. It Ix the common error of historlans to ignore proportions in time and place and number. They illuminate their pages with thunder, lightning and wreckage, and leave no impression of the proportion its ruin bears to the world as a whole. As a result the_impression_left, particularly on youthful readers, s decidedly dut of perspective and false. For this reuson it is difficult to de- termine what phase to give such a work as this history, which, far more so than others, is a_cursory review, well adapted to refresh the mind of the student, but neither suitable as a study for cither advanced student or beginner.
