the storm burst upon him in all its
fury. The inky darkness which ac-

the lodges of the Indians would drown
the sound of his stealthy footsteps.
AS he lay there, his brain was busy
formulating plan of action. He must
enter the village, pcrilous venture,
and when once there how could he de-
terminc in which one of the twenty or
more lodges his loved one was con-
fined? He could but go ahead and
trust to Providence for guidance. Not
one man in q thousand would under

was in that village of deadly, treach.

When the storm struck the village

painful surgical operation. He writes; II

years have been a sufferer from a scroiu-

all efforts of physicians in Washington,

moved down the slope toward the
river. "You have not yet told me how
you happened to come alone to my
rescue"
"Yes, darling, l came with his knowl-
edge and consent" He then related to
her all that had transpired at the fort
after the discovery that the Indians
had carried her away. The affectionate
girl gave him hug that almost lifted
him from the saddle and lovingly said:
"Oh! you dear, brave, noble fellow.
Perhaps your action in coming upon such
a perilous mission to rescue his daugh-
ter may have great weight in breaking
down papa's prejudice, and when he
realizes that it was you who restored
me to his arms he may look upon you
with favor and no longer oppose our
hearts fondest desires"
"That has been the uppermost SUBJ
ject of my thoughts during the entire
trip, and pray God that it may be as
we hope"
Happening to cast his eyes back over
his shoulder his heart ceased for n
moment to beat and his blood ran
cold in his veins.
A band of mounted Indians came
sweeping down the bluff but half a
mile behind them.
"My God, we are pursued" he cried,
striking the spurs deeply into the sides
of the horse. "Cling closely, my loved
one, for it will now be a desperate ride
for life"
"May God in Heaven protect u.s." she
Al. L e l.,
pursuing Indians reached their ears.
The noble horse heard the savage
cries of the pursucrs, and seemed to
realize the great danger that threat
cned his riders. Across the grassy val
ley he flew with almost incredible
speed, and a thrill of hope flashed
through the young soldiers breast as
he noted that each bound of the animal
increased the distance between them
selves and the savages.
I'VE gained on them. Courage, my
beloved, courage, and we will yet es'
cape them. If we can but reach the
other side and gain the high ground,
they may abandon the chase before
! getting too near the fort"
God grant that they may! Oh
those frightful, unearthly yells! They
seem to ciill my blood" she said
clinging yet more closely to her lover
Without slackcning his pace the
horse dashed into the stream, but the
water impcded his progress and the
Indians gained rapidly upon them
Nobly the strong beast plunged against
the swift waters which rose to hi:
breast in the center of the stream, but
the current was strong and his progres:
was slow. At last he reached the other
side and dashed up the bank as tho In
dians were urging their ponies into tn,
water ON the opposite side.
Across the wooded bottom which in
tervencd between the river and thu
western bluff they flew, and began the
ascent of the gulch which led to tho
mesa. The stcepness of the hill again
impcded the horses speed, and whcr
they reached the summit the Indians
could be seen flying aeross the bottom
still in mad pursuit.
"CouA~-e, my d:rlingr he agaiI
cried in an assuring tone DO no
despair, for we may yet escape them
The fort can now almost be seen"
God will aid us, Ned, my beloved,
she responded. My lips are moving
in constant prayer for our deliver

CHAPTER XVIII.

The horse did not seem to feel the
weight of his double load, and sped
over the ground at n rapid pace.
"How noble of you, Ned, to risk your
own precious life for me-" she said, as
they flew along. IAN eternity of love
and devotion could not repay you for
your work of tonight"
"One smile from my darling one, one
word OF love from her lips would amply
repay me for any undertaking, no
natter what dangers it might pre-
sent" he fondly replied. Did the In
dians treat you harshly, Alice?"
"No, Ned, but O, | shudder to thiy.l,
of the fate they held in store for m-a
and which | would have met tonight
had not this storm come on. There Is in
the band young half-breed Indian
who speaks fairly good English, and he
explained TO me that many of the In
dians' horses have died lately from
some epidemic, and the medicine man
of the tribe told them that the Great
Spirit was angry with the people and
demanded n sacrifice TO appease his
wrath. He told them that they must
make captive paleface girl, and out in
an open camp must build great circle
of fires, ard that in the circle amid dane
ing and rejoicing the maiden must be
bound and tramplcd to death by
horses ridden by those whose animals
had died. The band which captured
rae were on the way to the ranch of c
settler near the base CT the Scn Matco
mountains west of the fort to carry off
his daughter for the sacrifice when
they heard my pony's footsteps coming
down the gulch, and, conccaling
themselves near the trail, they awaited
my coming. They believed the Great
Spirit had thrown me into their hands,
and their rejoicing was great. The
wood for the fore-cirele had all been
collected when the storm approached,
and as the thunders rolled in the dis
tance the medicine man told them the
Great Spirit was speaking to them
commanding them to take me TO the
reservation where the entire tribe
coul5 take part in the ceremonies. O,
Ned, in their blind, ignorant supersti.

recapture me. Do you not fear pur'

tiVes, stand facing the toiling farmer,
with his half-clad family, bountiful
hsrVests and unpaid debts, and all
seem ignorant of the cause of their
misfortune. The money owner, how
ever, is happy. Where it once took
the interest on $1,000 to buy his
yearly bread, the interest on $500 will
now more than do it. Where it once
took the interest on $4,000 to clothe
his family, the interest on $1,000 will
now do it equally as well. In 1870,
with money renting at 10 per cent,
about fifty bushels of wheat paid the
interest on 81 600; now with money at
Z per cent. it takes over 100 bushels to
pay it. In this statement lies the root
of the whole trouble. One class of
producers are, and for a long time
have been, fighting another class, with
the owners of money fessting and fat
tening on their disaster. The fact is,
we want nothing cheap but money.
We want dear products and dear labor,
which is only possible where there is
an abundance of money. The power
of money to oppress through the re-
duction of the price of labor and its
products is the ruling factor in all the
distress now seen in this country.
This power comes entirely through
contracting the currency by taking it
from use among the people.-The Ex-

Mrs. Dlggs on City AMI General Politics.
The Rocky Mountain News of Aug
gust 10 contained an interview with
Mrs. Dlggs, who was in Denver, from
which the following was taken:
'I have studied the civic declarations
of New York, Chicago, and San Fran
cisco and other of the large cities, she
said, "and l believe they are honest in
their intentions, with no ulterior or
sinister motives. 1 believe they are
destined to accomplish a great work.
Their formation is essentially the re-
form movement taking shape in our
cities. That is all right. Let us
own our city streets first, before we at
tempt anything more ambitious.
That is a lowly aim, perhaps, but it
will be enough to keep the present
generation busy, l fancy if they at
tempted nothing more. Of course If
we turn all our attention to municipal
politics and disregard all else, we
shall wake to find ourselves enslsVed
by the present national policy,
if the latter continues. But have in
Varisbly found that when a person be.
comes sufficiently enlightenened to re-
gard city government as a business
proposition, not a party issue, he is in
telligent enough to study his own in

Is one Of the most valuable features
Of the civic declarations to the reform
movement. 1t is comparatively easy
to interest people in their own city.
