Bell sought to confirm himself in the

only men on the place we thought it quite
prudent to go with them.
About mile further on we came upon a
double log cabin on stills that left q space
and a lot Of disconsolate looking chickens.
AS we ueared the house the children ran
ahead, and when we halted before the steps
leading up TO the open space between the
two cabins the little ones were showing
their money 10 yellow faced, hollow eyed

"Howdee, strangers?" was the woman S

Rtood before her.
Bell SAID that he was feeling very well,
excepting that he was little damp and
hungry and that if the lady would get US
something to eat and permit US to dry our
clothes before going on that he would
gladly pay her her own price, as he cared
far more for the accommodation than he
did for the money.
Come in and rll send for dad" replied
the woman.
We followed her in, and the Oldest girl
was sen. for her grandfather. That gentle
man must have been within easy reach, for
Bell and / had hardly taken our seats by
the fire when Mr.. billiard, the owner of the
place and the father of the woman, came
IN. He wore no shoes. A ragged straw hat,
and pair of butter-nut trousers, held up
by a single suspender that had left blue

His hair and beard were shaggy and gray,
and his long, leathery cheeks and bony Gin

Bell understood the old man perfectly.
Their vernacular was nearly the same, and
they were soon agreeing on every point.
Bel had been conscripted like Mr.. Dill
lard's son, and | had been conscripted
and fairly dragged away from my old
mother, whose only support / was. Now
we had ''lit out" and we were trying TO
make our way home to our friends in the
mountains, for we were determined to take
no further part in what had come to be "a
rich mans quar'l aud pore mans hight"
Bell really had genius Tor stock fiction of
this kind, and he was so intensely earnest
and picturesquely profane in his variations
that l often found myself believing them.
felt very sure that, If we had told this old
man the truth he would have befriended US,
particularly as we were able to pay, but
having begun with one story it was neces-
sary TO stick to it.
With the old mans help the woman soon
had dinner of corn bread, bacon and mill
ready, and we compiimented the cooking
by display of appetite that seemed to
alarm the group of children looking o.
Bell paid in advance, and, when MIR. billiard
suggested that we rest till next day and
said that he would cobble our boots for US,
we readily agreed.
He made Us UP a bed in the adjoining
section of the cabin, and, as Bell felt abso-
lutely sure that he could trust the old man,
lay down with my clothes off and the
feeling that next to the food that satisfies
a burning hunger, there is nothing quite
like bed that banishes fatigue.

the salutatioE with which Mr.. billiard
woke US up the next morning, and without
which, L am sure, we should have rounded
out our twenty -four hours of what Bell
called downright SOLD old sleepin."
The breakfast was much like the dinner
of the day before, except that our bacon
was hoiled with some sort of greens that to
me was very palatable. Mr.. billiard told
US that he was going to Allendale that day,
and he advised US TO hang around till the
following morning, saying that in the mean,
time he would consult with some friends
who could be trusted and sec If plan could
not be hit on that would further our ven.

vagrant existence of the present.
Feeling the necessity of having papers

The fact that the horsemen searched the
cabin convinced Bell and myself that we
were not the men they were looking for,
but this assurance did not make the pros
pect look brighter. Our situation and ap-
pearauce were not in our favor, and that
our captors were not proposed was EVIL
dent from their oaths and scowling faces.
Before our escape form Millen we decided
on the story we should tell once we got
away and stick to it without any variation.
This we had done except in the ease of the

Gus cry OF the new born babe-THE
SILVER PARTY OF LANDER. Succeed
ing the actions Of the respective Gen.
trail Communities, n in revoking
its call for a convention, and the
other in refusing to hold any, the two
met, resolved themselves into an ex-
ecutiye committee and formed the
third party.
'In doing so they gratifed the gen.
eral demand. Silver with US is first,
last and all the time, and all other
things OF county or State considers
ton must be subservient to the well
fare of it. Actuated by these thoughts
and instigated with like sentiments,
the members Of the committees acted
so that nothing could be in the way OF
a free and united vote, expressive Of
the demand for the reconciliation Of
the metal. Their action removes all
obstacles and gives the means Of
proving the silver or anti-silver senti-
ments OF every voter in the county"

highly respected citizens, accompanied
by his family, left here last Wednes-
day for Spokane, State Of Washing
ton, where he is interested IN business
with Charley Fassett, formerly OF
Ruby Hill. Whether or not he will
make his permanent residence in the
North will probably depend on eircum-
stances. He has very valuable min
ing interests here in addition to his
business, but the mining industry has
become so badly crippled, through
the depression Of silver, that every
line Of business has gone TO the dogs,
and there is no inducement for him to
remain here any longer. The drug
store will be run by a drug clerk I'M
