white men made out the dim forms of
two mountains few miles in advance.
Mack knew that these marked the pas
sage of the trail out upon the open
plains, within three or four hours
ride of Fort Collins Hidden in the
mouth of a canyon they escaped obser-
vation- They rested and fed their
horses, took food, and before daylight
were again in the saddle.
'If we have any trouble 1t will come
In the pass between the mountains, !"
Mack told his comrades ''If we don't
run against a party of them there
we're out of the woods. If we do, it'll
take good bunch of 'em to clean us
ont, for there's no cover-only open
ground"
As they rode into the pass they saw
Eve Indians in the distance, seated
upon their horses near the trail. These
were undoubtedly the scouts, who,
riding the swiftest ponies in their
band, had kept ahead and were now
stationed in the pass, hoping to hold
the white men in cneck until others of
their party came up.
''Nothin' to do but brush 'em one
side, boys" said Mack.
Tightening their girths and looking
to their weapons, the little party
charged forward at a stiff gallop.
The Indians slipped off their horses
and made show of standing their
ground. but as the white men pressed
straight on and came nearly within
rife shot they lost their courage and
fed.
Five hours later Mack and the Ten
uesseeans were in Fort Collins, where
. strong detachment of regular troops
was stationed.
The Tennesseeans looked queerly at
Mack as they rode up to the fort. They
seemed to be satisfied with his look
and said nothing. Nor did Mack say
anything to the officers at the post
concerning his companions rebellious
intentions Frank Welles Calkins, in
Youths Companion.

Mack declined this courteous offer,
but told the Indian that he and his
companions would follow. They did
not mind travelling in the dust at all,
especially as there was no dust on the
sun.balked plain.
The Arapaho laughed again. mighty
unpleasant" as one of the Tennessee
ans put it. and wheeling about strobe
back to his men.
After moments conversation with
them, he sprang into his saddle, and,
with reckoning motion to the white
men, headed his cavalcade back upon
the trail
Mack's companions looked at him in
quiringly. -
We've got to follow, boys he told
them. There's no use bucking aein
it If we turn tail now, we're goners.
Our only hope is to go on with 'em
fearlessly, and camp not far from EN-
tonight, and trust to darkness to get
away from 'em."
Without a moments hesitation, they
mounted and followed the Arapahoes,
who logged along at dog-trot.
All that afternoon the three whites
rode close behind the Indians, talking
and laughing with an unconcern which
they did not feel, but which undou bt-
edly did much to render the savapes
more certain of outwitting and captur-
ing or killing the little party at their
leisure.
Big Medicine was reached about sun
down. The chief had spoken truly
with regard to his camp, for there were
twelve or fifteen lodges near the
springs on the lower slope of the hill,
near the base of which the water came
to the surface.
AS they rode down to the springs the
chief dropped back, and asked Mack
where he would camp Mack told him
they would picket their horses among
the sage brush on the side of the hill
above the spring. This seemed to sat
isfy the Indian; he turned away. and

GOOD DEMAND AT CINCINNATI,
But the Low Prices Haven't Left Much to
Bray About.


But the Low Prices Haven't Left Much to
Bray About.
CINCINNATI, March 1L-[Specidl]-Rogerst
Brown & Co.. say: News of low prices and
"bear" talk of all kinds have been current
features during the past week. Ready
crcdence is given to stories of extraordinary
concessions in prices. Nearly all of these,
however, prove to be without foundation.
Offers for 10000 tons OF gray forge at 50 at
Birmingham have been refused by the lead
ing companies within three or four days. At
the same time, rumors are numerous of sales
even below this figure. No. 8 foundry has
held at So IS at Birmingham, gray forge at
50 %, and No. soft at $40 to 50 IS. No. l
foundry of certain brands has been offered
at Sll 80 or less. Best brands, however, are
held at sl2. There is not much Of this grade
made. The demand on the whole has been
liberal, Notwithstanding the hand-to-mouth
policy of buyers. This indicates that con-
sumption is on larger scale than some have
been led to believe. Eastern dispatches
have spoken confidentially of a proposed
consolidation of the kpree largest Ala
bama companies, nameS, Tennessee. c., l.
R. R. Co., Sloss Iron and Steel Company
and Debardeleben Coal and Iron Company.
Latest advices are that if the details are
satisfactorily perfected such consolidation
of interests will take place 1t would be a
beneficial move in some particulars, such as
reduction of expenses of general manage
ment better control of competition, etc. 1t
is not probable however, that it would have
any material bearing upon the general situ-
alton. Any premature advance IN Southern
prices would only stimulate further life in
competitors in other districts that will have
to stop if the present hard contest con.
tinues.
There are further reports of blowing out
of furnaces in different districts. These
changes are slow to go into effect, but there
is no doubt that from this time on there will
be a steady curtailment of output. The
general situation looks more hopeful.
slowly reyiving. The belief is gaining
ground that hard pan has been reached. and
many indications point to a larger buying
movement in the next 60 days than has been
seen for months past

COUNTRY PRoDUcE-Jobbing prices
Receipts of eggs have fallen off in quantity
the past day or two, and markets are shade
frmer. Dairy products are barely steady
at quotations. Fruits and vegetables give
no signs of improvement. Markets are as
they have been all this year, very slow.
Potatoes, onions, cabbage and apples have
not been so low for years at this time of the
year. As compared with last March, prices
are now less than one-half A year ago
there was activity at the high prices, and
now there is dullness at low rates. As the
spring advances prospects for boom in
vegetable lines diminish. New maple syrup
is coming in freely, and prices are lower
than they have been for years at this early
stage. The low price of sugar has had not q
little to do with weakness of markets in this
line.

to hard pan, the future promises no rise in
them.
