knows this before he sees it. He creeps
up and carefully passes his hand over
it. If the white men came in there with
their wagons they might have moved
the stone.
No, they did not. He creeps to an
other and another. They have not been
disturbed. He shifts at the air If there
was the least fire he would discover it.
He lies with his ear to the ground. The
stamp Of a horse half a mile away would
have been detected.

Now he is within sixty feet Of the
wagons, now it is fifty, now forty. The
slightest cough-a sleeper's change Of
position, a woman's signing as she
dreamed-would reach his ear. He
heard nothing. Not a stone has been
disturbed-not a wheel print can he
find as he passes. For ten long min
utes the red man listens with ears
strained to catch the slightest sound.
Silence-nothing but silence.
Now he is satisfied. He rises TO his
feet and walks back to the barricade,
turns to the left and holds straight for
the camp on the opposite side without a
pause. He is satisfied at last. He finds
every warrior awake and alert for an
alarm. In a few words he makes his
report to the chief, and in ten minutes
more the band is fitting down the valley
so quietly that their departure is not
suspected
Morning comes and the men in The
canyon are filed with astonishment aud
satisfaction. They could not know
what the scout would report, and not an
eye had closed in sleep during the night.
"Now for breakfast and then we will
be off, said the captain after satisfying
himself that the enemy had departed.
An hour later every wagon was ready
to move and the train passed down the
valley a couple Of miles, crossed over
into the smaller valley in which Taylor
had encamped the day he was driven
out, and leave theIR, for a time, as
they push ahead to find a route through

Especial Correspondence
NEW York, Oct 6.-Niss Augusta
Larned is of English ancestry ON both
sides, one Of her forefathers being one
Of the first settlers in Charlestown,
Mass. She spent her early childhood on
her native farm, at Rutland, jefferson
county, N. Y. where the free range Of
wood and field fostered the intimate
love and knowledge of country life,
which she has interviewer so charmngly
In her rural sketches. This ardent love
Of nature has made her both poet and
essayist.
Her earliest school life was spent at
the Potsdam academy. followed by a
course Of training at the celebrated
Spingler institute when it was under
the control of the Rev DR.. Abbott. AT
the early age of eighteen she graduated
from this inst tuition and went TO Ala
bama, whore she taught for two seasons.
Afterward she was connected with
school in Washington. While living
there she met the Rev Rufus Dawes, a
Swodcnborgian clergyman, who first
urged her to write-in the form OF books
| for children.
1t was several years after this that she
embraced literature as a profession, and
| il was with the encouragement of Oliver
johnson, the neditor of The lndepend-
ent, that she gained a recognized foot
hold on that paper and made her first
pecuniary success. During three or four
years she contributed many stories to
this standard journal, the background
of them being usually sketched in from
her recollections Of her country life. or
these stories from The Independent and
other sources six volumes have been
published.
In 1870 Miss Larned became the editor
of The Revolution, a womans rights
paper established by Susan b. Anthony,
and at the time Miss Larned joined it
in the hands Of Mrs. Laura Q. Bullard.
After eight months hard toll on that
paper she was forced by i'll health to re.
sign. She was then engaged in general
newspaper work, contributing to IIar-
per's Magazine, Bazaar Christian Union
The Golden Age, Hearth and Home, In.

She also published volume OF
sketches entitled Talks with Girls,
and book on Grecian mythology called
"Old Tales Retold," both Of which ex
tended into several editions. Her poom,

lantic, st. Nicholas and Scribner's. II
1879 her work on Morse mythology wa
published. 1t was called "The Nors,

In these Miss Laned embodies finished
pictures from memory's walls-glowing,
mellow, restful. Her deep love Of ma
ture transmutcs all ordinary scenes into
things of beauty and joys forever, and
her sketches of human nature-its hills
and valleys, its sloughs and barrens-
show a perception marvelously clairvoy-
ant and sympathetic. These volumes
belong to the New England classics, and
viii hold a prominent and cherished
place on home bookshelves.
Miss Larned went to Europe in 1887,
where she spent six months in Italy, and
divided the other half of her year be-
tween Germany, France, Switzerland
and England. During her absence she
wrote more than fifty newspaper letters,
all charmingly descriptive and refresh
ing. Since then she has been engaged
chiefly in editorial work, correspondence
and story writing.
Miss Larned has filed with conspicu-
GUS ability and aptitude all departments
Of journalistic work, except. of course,
that Of reporting, which line is totally
uncongenial to her. She has spent near
ly half Of her life in New York city,
where at one time she had an established
home. About five months Of every yeaI
she passes in her beloved New England.
For years she has been deeply inter
ested in the progress Of woman and lib
eral religious ideas. Her father was one
Of the early abolitionists, and she cor
daily shared his dislike of slavery. She
has honored literature in many ways.
Her themes are always elevated and
touched with the enthusiasm and ear
nestness Of n reYerent nature. She has
genius, learning, poetry, pathos and
humor Her presence is exceedingly
gracious and gentle.

Fighting Parasites.

Only beginning has been made by
the government in the work of fighting
the parasites of animals. By always
condemning the pigs which are infected
with trichina the disease will be rem
dered less common. Heel flies and gad-
flies are combated successfully and de-
stroyed by spreading tar ointment over
the bodies of the beasts attacked. In its
labors the bureau of animal industry of
the department of agriculture devotes
its attention first to studying the life
history Of each parasite, in order to find
out at what stage of its existence the
enemy can be attacked to the best ad-
vantage. Having procured full knowl-
edge of the habits and manner of exist
ence of the adversary it is comparative
ly easy to interfere with its operations.

JONES WAS THERE,
But was Not Subpeoned by
Fox.

During the trial of the case of Fox
vs. the Hale s. Norcross, the pla. mt
ifs claimed that Senator Jones was
remaining our of the jurisdiction of
the court.
Last week they asked for a dis
missal Of the suits against him on
the grounds that they were unable to
obtain service on h m, and that his
whereabouts were unknown. He had
been over a week in San Francisco
at the Pal!ce hotel and the papers
had contained column interviews with
him, accom- an ed by his portraits,
yet Fox's attorney was unable to los
cate him.
This. circumstance does not make
it appear that the plaintiffs wanted
him quite as badly as when he was
out of the jurisdiction of the Court.
