MIN ana let honest, innocent folk show
their faces in safety"
But at this both Alan and James cried
out in horror, bidding me hold my
tongue, for that was not to be thought
of, and asking me What the Camerons
would think" (which again confirmed
me it must have been a Cameron from
Mamore that did the act), and if did
not see that the lad might be caught.
"Ye havenae surely thought Of thatT'
said they with such innocent earnest
ness that my hands dropped at my side,
and despaired of argument.
Very well then," said l, paper me,

thought it best to put fair face on
my consent, for | saw Alan troubled;
and besides thinks | to myself as soon
as my back is turned, they will paper
me. as they call it. whether consent or
not.
Thereupon we said farewell, and set
out again, bending somewhat eastward,
in fine, mild. dark night and over much
the same broken country as before.

mouth.
"Wheeshtr' he whispered. "You were
snoring"
"Well," said l, surprised at his anxious
and dark face, "and why not"
He peered over the edge of the rock
and signed to me to do the like.
1t was now high day, cloudless and
very hot. The valley was as clear as in
q picture. About half a mile up the
water was camp of redcoats; big
fire blazed in their midst, at which some
were cooking, and near by, on the top
of a rock about as high as ours, there
stood a sentry. with the sun sparkling
on his arms. All the way down along
the river side were posted other sentries;
here near together. there widelier scat
tered; some planted like the first, on
places of command, some on the ground
level, and marching and countermarch-
ing, so as to meet half way. Higher up
the glen, where the ground was more
open, the chain of posts was continued
by horse soldiers, whom we could see in
the distance riding to and fro. Lower
down the infantry continued; but as the
stream was suddenly swelled by the con-
fuence of a considerable burn they were
more widely set, and only watched the
fords and stepping stones.
/ took but one look at them and
ducked again into my place. It was
strange indeed to see this valley, which
had lain SO solitary in the hour of dawn,
bristling with arms and dotted with the
redcoats and breaches
"Ye see," said Alan, "this was what
was afraid of. Davie-that they would
watch the burnside. They began to
come in about two hours ago, and, man,
but ye're grand hand at the sleeping!
We're in narrow place. If they get
up the sides of the hill they could easy
spy us with glass, but if they'll only
keep in the foot of the valley we'll do
yet. The posts are thinner down the
water, and come night we'll try our
hand at getting by them

ana at the first sight inaccessible. Even
Alan Though you may say he had as
good as four hands, failed twice in an
attempt to climb them, and it was only
at the third trial, and then by standing
on my shoulders and leaping up with
such force that l thought must have
broken my collar bone, that he secured
lodgment. Once there, he let down
his leathern girdle, and with the aid of
that and pair of shallow footholds in
the rock scrambled up beside him.
Then | saw why we had come there,
for the two rocks, both being somewhat
hollow on the top and sloping one to the
otbe.. made kind of dish or saucer,
where as many as three or four men
might have lain hidden.
All this while Alan had not said a
word, and had run and climbed with
such a savage, silent frenzy of hurry
that | knew he was in mortal fear OF
some miscarriage. Even now we were
on the rock he said nothing, nor SO much
as relaxed the frowning look upon his
face, but clapped fat down, and keep
ing only one eye above the edge of our
place of shelter secuted all round the
compass. The dawn had come quite
clear; we could see the stony sides of the
valley, and it's bottom, which was be-
strewed with rocks. and the river, which
went from one side to another and made
white falls, but nowhere the smoke of a
house, nor any living creature but some
eagles screaming round a cliff.
Then at last Alan smiled.
AYE" said he, "now we have a
chance; gang you to your sleep, lad. and
I'll watch"
Accordingly lay down to sleep; lit
tie peaty earth had drifted in between
the top of the two rocks, and some
bracken grew there, to be a bed to me.
The last thing heard was still the cry
ing of the eagles.
l dare say it would be nine in the
morning when was roughly awakened
and fonnd Alan's hand pressed unon NV
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1893-03-04
So there ,pe stood, sac bn stde.

So there tDe stood, side BY side.
Sometimes we walked, sometimes ran,
and as it drew on to morning walked
ever the less and ran the more. Though
upon its face that country appeared to
be desert, yet there were huts and
houses of the people, of which we must
have passed more than twenty, hidden
In quiet places of the hills. When we
came to one of these Alan would leave
me in the way. and go himself and rap
upon the side of the house, and speak
awhile at the window with some sleeper
awakened. This was to pass the news,
which in that country was 80 much of a
duty that Alan must pause to attend to
it even while fleeing for his life, and so
well attended to by others that in more
than half of the houses where we called
they had heard already of the murder.
In the others, as well as | could make
out (standing back at a distance, and
hearing strange tongue), the news was
received with more Oh CONSERVATION
than of surprise.
For all our hurry day began to come
in while we were still far from shelter.
1t found us in prodigious valley, strewn
with rocks and where ran foaming
river. Wild mountains stood around
it; there grew there neither grass nor
trees.
The first peep of morning then showed
us this horrible place. and ! could see
Alan knit his brow.
This is no fit place for you and me-"
be said. "This is place they're bound
10 watch"
And with that he ran harder than ever
down to the water side in a part where
the river was split in two among three
rocks. 1t went through with horrid
laundering that made my belly quake,
and there hung over the lin a little mist
of spray. Alan looked neither to the
right nor to the left, but jumped clean
upon the middle rock and fell there on
his hands and knees to check himself,
for that rock was small and he might
have pitched over ON the far side. had
scarce time to measure the distance or to
understand the peril before I had fol-
lowed him, and he caught and stopped
me.
So there we stood, side by side, upon
q small rock slippery with spray, far
broader leap in front of us, and the river
dinning upon all sides. When saw
where was there came on me deadly
sickness of fear. and put my hand over
my eyes.
The next minute Alan had set the
brandy bottle to my lips and forced me
to drink about gill, which sent the
blood into my head again. Then put
ting his hands to my mouth and his
mouth to my ear he shouted, Hang or
drownT and turning his back upon me
leaped over the farther branch OF the
stream and landed safe.
Never @ word he said, but set of run
ming again for his life, and must stag
ger to my feet, jump and run after him.
l had been weary before. but now
was sick and bruised, and partly
drunken with the brandy. kept STUN
bling as ran; had stitch that came
near to overmaster me, and when at
last Alan passed under a great rock
that stood there among number OF
others it was none too soon for David
Balfour.
A great rock, have said, but by
rights it was two rocks leaning together
ct the top, both some twenty feet high.

Lieutenant Gerlach, Third Infantry
officer stationed at Fort Missoula in Mon
tana. was taking an early morning gallop
over the prairie, ten or dozen miles from
the fort, when he ran on to big, black
bear. The bear headed for the mountains
and the lieutenant, though unarmed, pelted
after him. Gerlach has had some expert
encs with bears and knows how easily they
are turned by dog. As he galloped af-
ter the hear brilliant idea entered bis
mind and he began to howl and bark like
a whole pack of hounds. The bear was
evidently familiar with that sort of music,
for he promptly put on his very best gait
and went flying over the tumble brush and
through the chsparral. Gerlach's horse
WAS good one Gradually with his hid
eous bowling and barking he headed the
bear off rom the mountains, and before
very long had him foundering away direct
ly towards the fort. The lieutenent just
kept far enough behind him to let the
beast think that he was getting away from
the dog. Whenever the bear showed an
intention of stopping Gerlach would re-
double his noise. This would brace the
bear up to another spurt. 1t Is pretty
long ride, but there was novelty about 1t
to prevent Its getting tiresome. Pretty
soon they got close to the post. The bear
was weary, but still running pluckily. A
bunch of willows hid the fort from the
barking officer. Around this thicket lum-
bered the bear.
There was chorus of sereams, the snort
ing of horses, and tie noise of stampede
that made the gallant Lieutenant's hair
rise. He realized that he had driven his
quarry right into the ladies of the post ,out
for their morning ride. There wasn't any
time for apology, nor was there any oppor
tunity to make it. The ladies, badly
scared by the foam feeked monster, simply
grabbed their horses necks and shrieked
The horses, moro excitable, pirouetted on
their launches and struck out for home.
The bear, IS badly frightened as the WON
en- or the horses, reared up and tried to
turn, but Gerlsch managed to get one
more tremendous crosk out of his throat,
and that set the bear cavorting in the trail
of the ladies of the post.
The cries of the startled women reused
the garrison, and pretty much everybody
was on the parade ground when the runa-
ways dashed through. Right behind them
came the bear. Half the garrison ran to
catch the lsdies' horses and the rest began
pouring lead into the gaunt fugitive. For
ty yards behind him came Lieutenant Ger
ZACH, red in the face and us6sring uncouth
noises still They killed the bear and then
eorralled the lieutenant. He couldn't get
breath enough to explain for about an hour
that he was not lunatic, and that he real
ly meant to drive the bear into camp.

1T RAINED
A Big Rainfall Yesterday and Higl

A Big Rainfall Yesterday and a High
Wind-Slippery Pavemen;s.
It was the prevailing opinion yesterday
that We were having rain storm, and not
a trifing one, either. The storm did not
gather force until after midnight yesterday
morning. When 1t got good strong h old
the rain came down, as the policemen
phrased 1t, by the buckets full. It was no
ordinary every week sort of rain storm,
but one of those that we get about this
time of the year, when gentle spring is
wrestling with hoary-headed winter for
the supremacy. Over two inches of rain
fell before p. m. Rain fell, Sergeant Cox
says, over the eastern half of the United
States. There was some wind also. Old
Boreas seemed on q rampage, utterly obliv-
ious of gallantry for the fair sex who
CHANGED to be out in the gale, or of any
thing, in fact, and the sidewalks in hun
dreds of places were overlooked with
water. The water washed off the icy
pavements, rendering them slippery as
glass, to the discontinue of many people
who slipped ingloriously while promenad-
ing. One thing, however, was quite graf
ifying-the snow was considerably lessened
in bulk yesterday.
Sergeant Cox premises clearing weather
for this morning.

all, to philanthropic mind and
the most enduring approval of
all is that which comes from the
