,RExARKABLE PINE FOREST The
tour up upNhe<stack Canon should not be
confined to less ika.fiwo days, for it is
one Of the most varied and remarkable
open to the tourist within C6lo.ado's CON
fines. The first two miles can pc made in
a csrriage. but the best plan is tQ take a
saddle horse At the start. From the en-
trance proper the way is BY trail made,
years ago, when Indians packed their traps
over it to North Park. A mile or two
through the b|ackened and eharred trunks
Of a fire destroyed forest, aud then We
work upward into tense growth Of yellow
pine. the like Of which we have not seen
in all our travels. The trees are evidently
Of uniform age, for each trunk is almost Of
exact sizs. Each tree risss clean cut and
wonderfully symmetrical to a height Of
fully seventy feet before it puts forth
barest vestige Of leaf or branch, and then
the boughs spread out in bounteoas pro
fusion Of 70 iage, interlacef and entw'ned
until the canopy is SO dense that the rays
Of the sun rarely penetrate; hence the
name Black Canon. There is no pitch
ticking down the beautifully rounded
trunks. 20 rugged scanning Of bark Or in
crustation Of moss, nor is there nnderbrosh
o. scraggy outcroppings to mar the eingo-
lar symmetry Of the growth. The earth
below is padded thick with low running
vines, and the trees sprung up in such re
markable numbers tha: one could not dis
charge a rife in horizontal direction
without hitting one within ten feet ol
where he stood. On either side the great
walls Of forest covered rocks reached far
toward the sky, and 10 the left we hear the
gurgling Of a stream, aud occasionally we
catch glimpses Of cascades Of striking
beauty. Mile after mile We wind through
the narrow defile between the treea, and
as they grow smaller We know va are
nearing timber line.

ONE OF THE TOUCHING INCIDENTS OF THE
GREAT EPIDEMIC.
Memphis Avalanche,l

| Memphis Avalanche,]
By many Of those who remained in
Memphis through the sad days Of the past
three months, there was seen at all hours
of the day and night, ono faithful, watch
ful creature. He was only dog, yet so
noble in appearance that the volunteer
physicians and nurses, who came to our
assistance. often stopped and gazee 10 ad-
miration on the animal. Ere long Hec
tor became known to them all. He gen
orally stood watch in front Of Billy Lie
ben's news stand. adjoining Rice, Silk &
Co.'s establishment. His master, the la
mented Ell. Worsham. roomed just oppo
site. over the Fourth National Bank, and
during the early part of the epidemic Hec
tor was always to be found at his side.
Ed. had sent his mothers family out Of
the city, and with his brother William re-.
mained to render such aid to this stricken
commu nifty as was in bis power.
Hector seemed to realize the situation
Of affairs, and took upon himselfthe guar
disnship of poor Ned" Where Ed went
Hector was to be found-even into the
dining room ofthe Peabody hotel. There
he was frequent visitor. When the dis
ease attacked Ed, Hector not being per-
mitted to enter the sick room, took up his
position just across the street, from which
be could see the light in the sick room,
and but rarely was found off duty, watch
in the stairway for the appearance Of bis
master. Alas, he never saw him more.
Ed. Worsham never came down those
steps again, save when the coffin which
contained his remains was borne by sor
rowing friends into the hearse which bad
come to bear to EImwood one Of the no
bIest Of all who fell victims to the pesti
lence.
The strangest part of all was Hector's
actions. He knew that his vigils were
ended when the hearse drove away, and
he. then forsook the spot where for ten
lone weary days and nights he bad stood
guard. Never was the instinct Of dumb
brute more beautifully portrayed than in
Hector's conduct. The family have re
turned and Hector is once more at home.
He i. large N.sefesodland, beautifully
marked and is the pride Of the neighbor-
hood.

"Ready to slope if he finds wv'fe too
much for him." said cross eyed, broad
shouldered fellow Of eighteen.
The school-house was unlocked and the
new teacher went to the desk. Some Of
the young folks went in to sec what lie
was going to do, though school was not
called.
Harry opened his valise and took out

his waist, he put three Colts navy reyolv-
ers there, each Of AK barrels, and bowie
knife eighteen inches in the blade.

The new teacher now took out square
card. about four inches each way, walked
to the other end of the echool house and
tackled it up aga inst The wall. Returning
to his desk, he drew his revolver from his
belt and quick as though. sent ball after
ball into the card till there were six balls

Then the teacher walked half wav
