Rose was consulted, but she knew moth.

lutely nothing of great rock or cross.
Accompanied by the entire force of
cavalrymea, under the direction of Dick,
thorough search was instituted the in vi
clnity of the old miners last resting place.
In small gully running into the side
OF 9. precipltous hill, hugh rock was
finally found surmounted by hugh rep
resentation of cross.
At the full of the moon Paul and Dick
secretly repaired to the spot prepared to
underearth the buried gold; and noting
the extremity of the shadow cast by the
rough cross, the two men commenced
their labors.
They were crowned with success, and
tour large canvas bags of gold dust and
nuggets were dragged forth.
1t was the fortune of Rose Clavering;
and Paul, with his escort, conveyed her
to the nearest military post where she
was to remain until he could obtain leave
of absence, and travel with her to the
East in hopes Of finding some of her rela-
tivcs.
Months elasped before he was enabled
to carry out his plans; but when he
reached Chicago no trace of the name of
Ciavering remained. The machinery of
the police and law was put in motion,
but with no satisfactory result.
Every moment of his leave was ex-
pended in the search, and when he
sought Rose, at her hotel, his heart heavy
and sad with the prospect of parting with
her, she listened with silence to Pauls re-.
grets at his failure to find her friends,
but started impetuously to her feet when
he added that, with the dawn of another
day, he must return to his post and duty.
Her face flushed and paied as she strove
in vain to speak. her bosom rose and fell

OF the officer Rose would have fallen to

closed in upon the men. The glowing

cries Of the poor animals, who perished
by hundreds.
The air became very hot, and the ed.
dying volumes of smoke made it oil but
impossible for the two to breathe.
Their horses became almost unmanape-
able; they were obliged to cover their
own heads, as well as their beasts. with
blankets. It was an awful moment of
agonising darkness, with the terrible
heat bliste,ing the exposed portions Of
their skin.
The earth shook beneath the mighty
tramp of an immense herd Of buffalo, as
they burst suddenly forth from the sur

encouraging him by his voice, until they
reached the edge of the bank, when
again applying the spur, they made the
fearful leap.
Down, down they went With terrible
velocity, without resistance Or impedi-
ment. A plunge, a shiver, and meeting
the full force of the torrent, the steed was
swept away, while Paul despite his
efforts was carried down the stream as if
he had been feather.
! His horse had disappeared amid the
foaming rapids, the steep precipitous
sides OF the rocky cliff debarred him from
all hopes of efecting a landing, and
floating on his back Paul held his strength
in reserve.

Of the past crowded through his brain,
and he could not believe that he was to

Black Hills, bis fate enveloped in mys-

A sudden sharp shock recalled him to
himself. A WhirlinR eddy had thrown
him roughly against the sharp projecting
side of the clih, and catching at crevice
he succeeded in gaining a foothold.
Slowly ana cautiously he drew himself
up from point to point, scaling the
smooth sides pf the gorge, until his
head VA on level with the edge of the
bank.
Cautiously he reconnoitered before
drawing himself over the brink, but he
saw nothing that gave evidence of an
enemy, and once more he found himself
