HE VALLEY OF DEATH.
Mr.. Bancroft Loads His Conscience by Re-
peating an Aged Yarn.


at visited The Valley of Death when
on the Island of Java three months ago."
said Lieut.. Leon Bancroft yesterday. The
lieutenant is connected with her ma esty's
service in India. and registers from Cal
cutta.
"The place is called the Valley of
Death" explained the officer, ION account
of the deadly fumes there. But the natives
can not account for the poisonous odors,
nor has their presence ever been ex-
planned. The deadly place is about thirty
five feet below the surrounding ground,
looks like a dry bed OF n stream, and is
about one mile in circumference. As
/ approached the place | noticed
suffOcating smell, and was attacked with
nausea and dizziness. A belt OF this fetid
atmosphere surrounds the valley. Ipassed
through it, and in purer air was permitted
to view the awful spectacle, for it was
awful. Before me | saw scattered, all
over the barren floor OF the valley, skele-
tons OF men, wild hogs, deer, and all kinds
of birds and small animals. The entire
bed of the valley is one solid rock, and
could not discover hole or crevice in any
place from where the poisonous fumes
came. The hills surrounding this desc
late strip are covered with vegetation, and
although the neighboring mountains are
volcanic they do not emit sulphurous
odors or present any indication OF a recent
eruption.
"There is no apparent cause for the
strip of deadly tunes surrounding the
valley. After i passed through it | be-
came holder and approached the edge of
the deadly place. | was anxious to reach
the bottom of the valley if possible, but
was afraid to make the attempt, as l had
been warned to give the place wide berth.
l determined, however, to see what the
fumes smelled like, and started TO de-
scend. My pet Irish terrier was with me,
and as soon as he saw me step over the
side of the bank he rushed down ahead of
me. | endeavored to call him back. but
was too late. AS soon as the little animal
reached the rocky bed below he fell
over on his side. He continued to breathe
for ten minutes. i don't believe /
was ever nearer deaths door than |
was at that time. Four or five times
was tempted TO rush down TO rescue him,
but i subsequently, learned that such q
move ON my part would have been certain
death. For ten minutes / suffered the
agony OF seeing my dog die, and then
turned and fled from the spot. While
there | saw q bird fail a victim to the
deadly fumes. 1t evidently intended to
fly to the bottom of the valley, but before
1t reached the ground ii fell dead. don't
believe it lived half u minute after enter
ing the deadly atmosphere.
mo one has yet been able 20 explain
the cause OF the fetid carnations from
the earth, the natives say, and 80 many
lives have been sacrificed in attempting to
explore the valley that they have deter
mined to keep away from the spot for

Save. rise and fall aud current worth

The next they heard that he was dead
"a sudden failure of the heart

They buried him, with pompous state.
With costly flowers and velset fold;
His coffin prankt with name and date,
Wrought on plate Of 6nest gold.
They read his will with legal care,
And did not seem 90 sore bereft
To find the thrifty millionaire
Had twice two millions gained ami iefs
Two daughters and an only son.
The latter listless, languid, frail
Had managed in way 20 run.
Or rather limp his course through Ysis
One daughter, with her money bough,
A titled husband, blase, shorn

And died neglected and forlorn.
The other boarded mp herself
And lived 10 maidenhood OF heart,
Convinced her money, not herself.
Doomed in the matrimonial mart

Drank deeply, gambled, spent his ell,
And. out Of money. credit clothes,

And wentlike Dives from the earth,
