The grim sergeant sees ''signs" in

right I'll" green valley runs into
the fringe. the fringe into dense
thichet, the thicket INTO rock and
pine and mountain slope. No eye
can penetrate the fringe. The In

horse may have scented wolf or
grizzly.
"Forwar,l"
No man knows what danger turks
in the fringe, but the order was to
scout beyond the bend. 10 disobey
il ignominy and disgrace: to ride
forward Is wait. There is no air
stirring i'll the valley. Every limb
and bough is AZ still as if made OF
iron. There is silence which weighs
like heavy burden, and the harsh
Iote of hawk or buzzard would be q
relief.
Here is the bend. The valley con
tinucs as before--no wider no mar
rover levc! and unbroken. The
wild horse was out of sight long ago
and the six troopers soc nothing but
the green grass as their eyes sweep
the valley from side to side.
Turn the bend and ride down
the valley for a mile or 50 and keep
your eyes open to discover any pass
leading out"
Halt.
1t is moro than a mile beyond the
bend. No pass has been discovered
No signs of trail have been picked
up. The sergeant has raised himself
up for q long aud careful scrutiny,
when an exclamation causes him to
turn his face up the valley. Out
from the fringe ride the demons
who have been lurking there to drink
blood. Five-ten twenty fifty -
the line has no end. 1t stretches
clear across the valley before word
hes been spoken. Then it faces to

the danger To retreat down the
valley is to be overtaken one by one
and shot from the saddle or reserved
for torture. Down the valley there
is no hope; up the valley is the camp
and rescue. The two lines face each
other for a moment without move
ment.
Now, men. one volley sling car
bines--draw sabres and charger
A sheet of flame-a roar-a cloud
of smoke, and the six horses spring
forward. Then there is n grand
yell, rush by every horse and rider,
and whirlpool begins to circle
Sabres flash and clang- arrows whis
tle-revolvers pop-voices shout and
scream, and then the whirlpool
ceases. 1t is not three minutes since
the first carbine was fired, but the
tragedy has ended. Every trooper
is down and scalped, half a dozen
redskins are dead or dying, a dozen
horses are struggling or staggering
and turning the bend at mad gallop
is the sergeant's riderless horse. He
carries an arrow in his shoulder, and
there is blood on the saddle. In five
minutes he will be in camp, and the
notes of the bugle will prove that the
lost trail has been found.

THE LAST DAYS OF RuNruRp

which he was member. Cuvier
wns then its perpetual Secretary, and
for him Rumford always entertained
tie highest esteem. He differed
from Laplace on a scientific ques-
ton, and his dissent was probably
not without its penal consequence.
Rnmford always congratulated him
self on having brought forward two
such celebrated men az the Bavarian
General Wieden, who was originally
lawyer or land steward, and Sir
Humphry Davy. The German French,
Spanish. and italian languages were
as familiar to the Count as English.
He played billiards against himself;
he was fond Of chess. which, however,
made his feet like ice and his head
like fire. The designs of his own in
ventions were drawn by him with
great skill; but he had no knowledge
Of painting or sculpture, and little
feeling for either. He had no taste
for poetry. but great haste for land
scape gardening. In later life his
habits were most abstemious, and il
is said that his strength was in this
way so reduced a. TO render him un-
able tC resist his last illness. Feted
honored, titled, and endowed; enrolled
as member Of all the leading acade-
mics and learned societies of Europe;
the correspondent and friend Of
potentatcs, Princes, Viceroyes, and
Ministers; the recipient Of grateful
and deferential addresses from great
city corporations, this wonderful man
tripped at last over the chain which
bound him to wife who lacked the
loving pliancy which he demanded,
but which, even had il existed, his
peremptory nature wonld have rem
dcred him unable to reciprocate.
Though forgotten in England. he il
remembered in Bavaria. One Of his
great works there was the transfor-
nation Of a piece OF desert land into
tho no called English garden, at
Munich. Here in 1795, during his
absence in England. tho inhabitants
erected u monument 10 his glory,

LONDON NEWSPAPER CARTS.

A newspaper cart is light affair
on two wheels-naturally a cart can
not be upon four-with one reckless
driver and man to deal out papers,
They rush along with all the head
long speed Of the American butcher
cart, and the rivalry among them is
something lively. OF course the first
paper on the ground is the one that
gets the cream of the trade. Prob
ably the handsomest carts are those
of the Globe and the Pail Mall Ga
zette. The former has a raised hem
isphere on each side, typical of the
name; the latter's carts are oak col
ored, with the title of the paper on
each side and on the ends. The Echo
carts are ugly and very serviceable.
just before an edition comes out
these carts can be seen in row be-
fore their respective printing offices,
each paper having about a dozen.
When tho edition is published the
carts are filed in a twinkllng with
paper in quires-twenty six to the
quire-and small bundles wrapped
mp in contents bills. The latest con-
tents bills are pasted on the backs of
the carts and away they all go as
speedily as if one of Arabs bombs
fell among them. They dash through
London streets with the rollicky reck
lessness Of a fire engine and soon
scatter to all points of the compass.
The bundles are flung in at the doors
Of the news agents as the carts hurry
by without stopping. At the street
corners they pause and the news
bows gather around. handing in all
the former editions that are unsold,
together with cash for as many more
as they wish to buy. The papers are
dealt with great celebrity by the man
in the cart, who has a trick of hold
ing the sheets in a peculiar way in
his left hand, while he runs his right
across the edges Il us exposed, count
ing them accurately with the speed
Of lightning. The amount Of cash.
generally rendered in pennies, seems
to be almost instinctively got at by
netting them in his hand. The

tain time, and the carts have to be
back before the next edition is due,
and the cash and returns handed in
before another lot is brought out.
On the last round they collect the
cash and the returned papers from
the news agents.
The evening papers here are hard
ly as honest in the matter of mum
bering their editions as their Ameri-
can contemporaries. No London
evening paper numbers all edition as
"first;" for instance, the Echo's first
edition is called the second, and is
issued at o'clock. The next edition
they call the fourth. and is issued at
2:2O. The fifth edition, which is real
ly the third, comes out at 4:20; the
special edition at 6. and the extra
special at z. Some of the evening
papers begin business with third
edition. which the unsuspecting
Britisher buys under the imp, ession
that he is getting something very
late irdeed.-TLondon Cor. Detroit
