ed in the steep, rough path above.
His plan evidently was to make off
with the horses under cover of dark
ness and, once reaching the halfway
house Ga deserted rock cabin), he
wodld take one of the obscure trails
leading down on the other side of the
mountain, thus making his way to
where he would be safe from pursuit.
[ gripped my pistol, having, how
ever, very confused idea of what l
wanted to do John settled the mat
ter fer me- for as the Indian, seated on
the foremost horse, got opposite esthe
bush which concealed US, he sprang
into the path directly in frant Of the
horse, and, in fac, almost under his
feet.
As might be supposed, the horse
gave sudden lunge to the right, thus
unseating the Indian, 1.-the and sinewy
as he was. The path here ran along
tire slopi9g upper.edge of a very steep
declivity, and the Indian, falling on
the lower side was not able to gain a
footing, and literally rolled all the
way to the bottom The frightened
horses contrived to turn about in the
narrow. shelf like path, and made
their way back to the summit.

balsam tops below and could net help
feeling little pity for the poor wretch,
badly as he had deceived us.
1t being too dark to venture down
from the path to l,ok after the In
dams injuries. hurried up to the
summit, and then down to the camp.
John followed me, keeping up run
ming series of excited chuckles and
gru:ts, displaying evident satisfaction
at the ruse he had played.
| awakened the others and told
them what had transpired. We did
not attempt any more sleeping, but
staked the horses where we could
watch them and listened to he hair
lifting" tales which the guides by
turns, told US. The situation was wild
and romantic in the extreme, and the
region abounds in weird and curious
legends which an episode of this kind
always brings to mind.
Early the next morning several of
us went to the scene of the occur
renee, and picking our way carefully
down the rugged slope, found the half
breed badly bruised and with a brok-
Ell arm, sitting with his back against a
tree trunk within few feet of where
he had fallen. He was very sulen,
but seemed to show some gratitude
when he saw that we were disposed to
treat him kindly We had to help
hir' on a horse when we got ready to
descend, aud when we reached the
guides house we left him in his GUS
tody.
Iu the sack W ich he carried we
found a number Of vaiuabies, includ-
ing some money which he had taken
from our packs while we slept.
Before separating to take our differ
eht routes, We made arrangements
with the guide who had befriended the
halfwitted John to give him food
and clothing for year at least, for
we felt that We were greatly indebted
to his wakefulness and cunning.
We reached "the station" about
nightfall, thoroughly tired, but proud
of having spent the night on this

Bro. Riount Wants to Lynch Boyle
From the Wis)a M,rror.1

From The IPiis,a M,rror.l
This outrage is greater than if it
had been committed by a brutal ne
gre, for his high position, his social
character, his sacredotal office ought
not to extenuate, but rather Intensity,
the popular Indignation, and acceler-
ate the swoop Of swift execution. Once
positive OF his guilt, let no forms of
las or bolts or prison bars stay the
arm of merited punishment and
death. By his sacred calling, and
his relation as pastor and spiritual
adviser, the popish prelate is more
nearly connected with his flock than
perhaps any other; and for him to
abuse the confidence, which the sacred
relation invites and guarantees, is a
violation Of obligation more damning
and meriting greater damnation.
So when such abuse eliminates in
crime SO dark and unmentionable as
this, he should not expect any mercy
at the hands of an outraged scommu-
nifty. Nor -shou d poor girl be re
quired to stand before gazing crowd
in court house, to intensity her
shame, and still further blight her
! once fair name. But Judge Lynch
should hold his Nemesis summoned
court, under the vigils of midnight
stars, and consign to swift and summa-
| ry punishment the vile wretch who
has soiled, with the foul touch Of lust
ful passion, the beautiful flower of fe
male chastity. Let the foul fend
suffer the ignominous death Of lynch
ing, and let all the world know that in
the South there are no courts for
crimes like this, but that every true
man is the Revenge appointed juror te
try such cases, aud that in every single
instance death must be the penalty
for the least Infringement upon the
immaculate sanctity of hallowed wo
man.
