mences and chronology proper doef
not attempt 10 so tey0ud that.
To ascertain the exact date Of that
day, reckoning from any historical
epoch the date OF which IA known, l.
no longer possible by any ordinary
methods. The Old Testament, It
Is true, has chronological data
covering the period from the
Introduction OF man upon the
earth iii the time when chronology
takes definite shape 10 secular his
tory, but the three principal texts Of
the sacrcd volume ditier materially.
The years are ascertalned by summing
up the sges OF the venerable progoui-
tors ofour race on the birth Of the son
who 10 placed on record. But accord.
ing to the common Hebrew text this
givssus 1855 years to the Hood, while
the Septuagint makes 1t 1892, aud the
Samaritan only 1901. The difference
arises irou the fact that the Bepiusgint
adds 100 years to each OF six patfiafchs
at tho time the heir was born and
also 0 years 10 the life OF Lamoch
Similar discrepancies occur iu the dates
after the iljoJ.
Usher has carefully investigated all
questions connected with the subject.
He makes the period from the creation

with the Hebrew, and from the hooi
to the birth Of our Savior 2,8is year.,

The post authorities admit, however,
that the system Of Usher, though very
probable, has not been established,
although 1t Is very generally regarded
as approximately correct.

CHAPTER XVII.

Bouton expected to meet with ferce
opposition before entering the valley,
and he knew if he was not opposed 1t
would be on account of the prisoners
As the Prophet had told his companions
the prisoners were Bouton' 8 strong point
stronger than his allies. One of the
gang proposed that they should give
three cheers when they emerged from
the canyon into the valley, but no re-
sponse was given; the bravest felt an
awe he could not define and sense of
weakness in striking contrast with the
recent vaunting. The cavalcadc rode
down to the lake and went into camp
on the shore. The horses were staked in
such grass as they had never cropped
before, and they rolled and ate with
sense of enjoyment in striking contrast
with the feelings of their masters.
Fires were lit and the led glow flashed
out ON the lake, turning it TO blood and
frightening the wild fowl sleeping in
the sedges. Bouton affected greater
flow Of spirits than usual When the
evening meal was over, he went from
fire to fire, cheering the men and assur-
ing them that if they continued to do
as they had done fortune such as
would exceed the dreams of the most
ambitious awaited every man in the
party.
"What are your people going to do
with the captain?" asked Alice Blanch-
ard of Bouton.
"Going to try him, miss. +"
"What are they going to try him
for?''
For shooting down their friends and
killing one of them when we were in
the pass yesterday
"What right have they to try him?'
Maybe they have no right in West
Virginia, but out in these mountains no
