CHAPTER vi.
A MORMON CARAVAN.

, Still, as we rode along, the same rich,
tranquil days of October; the air al
ways potable gold, and every breath
nepenthe.
Early on one of the fairest of after
moons when all were fairest we reached
Fort Bridger. Bridger had been an old
hunter, trapper, and by and by that for
lorn hope of civilization, the holder of
an Indian trading post. The spot is bet
ter known now. 1t was there that that
miserable bungle and blunder of an ad-
ministration, more fool, if that be posi-
BILE, than knave-the Mormon expedi-
ton in 185S-took refuge after its disas-
tiers on the Sweetwater.
At the moment of our arrival Bridger's
fort had just suffered capture. Its owner
was missing. The old fellow had deemed
himself the squatter sovereign of that
bleak and scar region. He had built an
adobe mud fort, with a paiisade, on a
sweep of plain a degree less desert than
the deserts hard by. That oasis was his
oasis, so he fondly hoped; that mud fort,
his mud fort; those willows and alders,
his thickets; and that trade, his trade.
But Bridger was one man, and he had
powerful neighbors. 1t was case of
80 81 angulus ister'-a Noboth's vine
yard case. The Mormons did not love
the rugged mountaineer; that worthy
GENTLE, in turn, thought the saints no
better than so many of the ungodly.
The Mormons coveted oasis, fort, thicket
and trade. They accused the old fellow of
selling powder and ball to hostile In
dians-to Walker, chief of the Utes, a
scion, no doubt, of the Hockey Walker
branch of that family. Very likely he
had done so. At all events, it was good
pretext. So in the name of the prophet,
and Brigham, successor of the prophet.
the Latter-day Saints had made raid
upon the post. Bridger escaped to the
mountains. The captors occupied the
Gentile's property. and spoiled his goods.
"Pm sorry old Bridger has come to
grief" said Brent to me as we rode over
the plain toward the fort. HE was
rough, but worth all the Latter-day
Saints this side of Armageddon. Bid

summer, when we came from the noun
tains about Luggernel alley"
Jake and the main party stopped at
the fort. We rode on a quarter OF a
mile farther, and camped near stream,
where the grass was plenteous.
We left our little caballada nibblng
daintily at the sweetest Spires of self
cured hay, and walked back to the fort.
We stood there chatting with the gar

them to doff the tops of their heads, as
mark of respect to Indian civilization.
We started, two men and seven an

Next morning the two strangers were
free and accepted members of the party.
They travelled on with us without ques-
ton. Smith the gaunt affected rough
frankness of manner. Robinson was low
comedy. His head was packed with
scurvy jokes and stories. He had foul
leer on his face whenever he was think
ing his own thoughts. But either, if
suddenly startled, showed the unmistak-
able look that announces worse crime
than mere knavery.
They tangled their names so that we
perceived each was an alias hastily as
sumed. Smith compared sixshooters
with me. l detected on his the name
Murker, half erased. Once, too, Brent
heard Murker, alias Smith, call his part

our horses makes clatter. He dares
not quite look back. He knows there is

The sun had just gone down. There
was red wrangle of angry vapors over
the mounds of mountain westward. A

A Worthy Idea.

An idea that first originated in the
fertile brain of Alexandra Dumas fills is
likely to come into fashion. For" he
said, why should not those who arc in
vited to luxurious banquet, which they
get for nothing. pay trife for such as
are without food and provide these poor
people with meal?' And he proposes
that each guest shall pay the lady of the
house the sum of one franc, sugges-
ton that will no doubt commend itself
to those who are not in a position to
reciprOcate in the matter Of hospitality
and who are thereby relieved in part of
the sense OF obligation for a gratuitous
feed. He limits the amount to one franc
in order to avoid an invidious compari-
son between the parade of generosity on
the part of the wealthy and the smaller
contributions of those less happily cir
cumstanced.
Moreover. as the rafting of coin and
the giving of change at the dinner table
are Objectionable features, he suggests
the introduction Of hons, or notes Of
hand. to be obtained at various centers
on payment of the required sum. We
have seen a sample of these notes, which
he styles hons de digestion" and which
are signed, "Qui dine dome" Che who
dimes gives) This fashion" launched
by Dumas on the charitable world. is
worthy Of imitation.-Figaro.

A Strange Story About a Schooner.

A Strange Story About Schooner.
The two masted schooner James A.
Fisher, which struck on the Jersey coast,
near Cape May inlet, forty-nine years
ago and sunk in the quicksands, will
soon be ahoat again, a perfect vessel as
OF yore. She was buried 80 deeply in
the sand that not even her masts or rig
g1ng have been visible, but the recent
storm unearthed her.
The vessel is in remarkably perfect
condition, not even a bulwark being
crushed in. The cargo Of corn was dug
out of her hold a few days ago, black,
but in perfect shape. Watches, shoes
and the clothing of the crew were
brought to light. A watch showed the
exact hour at which it had stopped tick
ing, and the pipes and tobacco were lust
RS left by the i'll fated crew.
The cargo consisted of full load of
corn shipped at Duck River, Delaware
bay, for New York She sunk so soon
in the sand that the crews clothing and
paraphernalia, as well as the entire
cargo, went down. Captain Andrews
and several of the crew were frozen to
death, and the steward drowned in at
tempting to reach the mainland.-Phila-

Benefits OF Bicycle Riding.

Among the main reasons which BIZ
cycle riders give for their choice of loco
motion are the following:
Bicycling is a popular, clean, health
full sport, and wheel is good company.
The wheel is time saving machine,
and in this busy age time is money.
Exercise on the wheel is better than
walking, because the weight of the body
is principally supported by the saddle.
Strength is economical and the exertion
of force distributed more generally
throughout the muscles Of the legs,
arms and body. and equal results IN
progress reached by far less exertion, or
proportionately greater results by the
same exertion. In other words, the
wheelman rides ten miles in an hour
with less fatigue than he would walk
four in the same time, because IN walk
ing almost all the muscular exertlon Is
thrown on the legs.
Few people breathe properly. They
use only the upper portion of the lungs
and leave large residuum of impure air.
Bicycle riding causes thorough respira
ton and tones up the general circula
ton. It is particularly beneficial tc
men and women of sedentary habits
and gives them such exhilarating pleas
ure that they do not feel the labor in
yolyed.-New York Ledger.
