and he knew they were Bouton's people.
And to the north, moving in the direc-
tion Of his own valley, he saw the sill
very puffs Of smoke that told fight was
going ON in that direction.
The Prophet remounted, and every
foot Of the way in front and on each side
was scanned as he galloped in the di-
rection of the conflict. Not deer start
ed from the grove nor bird flying by
in rivalry of his own flight passed unno-
ticed-
1t was this keen observation that
showed him q number Of Indians dodg
ing behind the rocks ahead, and led him
above the thunder Of his horses hoofs
to distinguish the short, sharp crack Of
rifles The Indians saw him coming,
and with cries of alarm they left their
hiding places and ran down the rocks,
Black Eagle leading the advance. The
Prophet reined his horse, brought down
his rifle in the same action and fired.
One Of the Indians in retreat threw up
his hands and fell on his face.
"A good, brave shot, " shouted girl

He is here.

been wicked, but he is not IA coward,
said the Prophet, dismounting and lead

before the Prophet.

Henry briefly narrated the events OF

Of his brother Louis and the capture Of

''Yes, Bouton and his people believe
that you have great stores put away in
the caves, and often they have thought
Of attacking and robbing you or forcing
you to give up your secret as to where
the gold has been obtained. So far they
have feared you, but now Bouton is
strong. and he has with him many men
who know you only by name, and who
consequently have not the reverence for
you which we have who have long been

ITS AN OLD STORY.
A Few Facts About Hard Times and
Good Times.

A Few Facts About Hard Times and
Good Times.
A great many people seem to think these
hard times are something new and that
the country has never seen the like before.
But these people have not read their
country's history carefully or they would
know better. They would also learn that
neither free silver nor free gold had ever
yet cured the poverty and hard times that
have always followed Democratic revenue
tariffs. Away back in 1916 we tried
revenue tariff. In speaking Of the effect
of that tariff Henry Clay said that If he
We're called upon to name seven years Of
the most widespread disaster this country
had ever seen he would say the seven
years following the adoption of the
revenue tariff of 1916.
In 1924 the policy of protection was re-
stored and at once prosperity began to re-
turn. :
In 1887 a revenue tariff was again tried
with disastrous results and general bank
ruptcy
The people quickly repented of their
folly, and in 1912 protective tariff was
prosperity that in 1914 even the Democrats
claimed that Polk was better tariff man
than Henry Clay and had inscribed on
their banner POLK, Dallas and the tariff
of 1912.
Clay was beaten by Polk-the people
believed the Democratic promises as they
did in ls92-and in 1916 the Democrats
gave them IA tariff for revenue only"
again, with damaging results, and in 1857
a further reduction of the tariff brought
on an era of hard times nearly as bad as
we now have
In 1851 the Republicans enacted a pro-
tective tariff again which continued with
few changes Until 1894. During this
long period, despite the losses sustained
in the great rebellion, this country was in
the enjoyment of such prosperity us the
civilized world had never before witnessed.
During this long period the generation
that had had experience with Democratic
financial legislation had nearly all died
off and new generation, ignorant Of the
baleful effects of Democratic tariffs, had
come upon the stage and in 1899 concluded
to try the quality of Democratic promises
The results we are now experiencing and
none of us enjoys them. We are In bad
plight and want to get out of 1t by the
shortest road. That road is not by free
silver however. There 4 well tested
and proven method Of counteracting the
effects of Democratic revenue tariffs that
has never failed, and that is prompt re-
turn to n good protective tariff. Sound,
honest money is also essential to prosper
ity, but we have 1t now and only need to
stick to it and add little good Republi-
can protection and we will soon be on the
road to prosperity again. Cast your bal
lots for Mckinley, sound money and pro-
lection and good times will come again
for long, long stay.-Bedford Inquirer.

CHAPTER XIV.

Kushat was not mistaken. She did
hear firing and see the smoke Of rifles,
and Henry Kyle was right in thinking
that Brandon had been attacked. Far
down the rift the clatter Of hoofs and
the jingle of arms told that Bouton was
through the pass and in possession Of
the trail leading to the Prophet valley.
The captain saw that minutes delay
would place him between two fires.
Keep co. /. my men, he shouted.
I'VE must get in Bouton's advance
Press on and viii cover. He checke,s
back his horse, ard the others, intent
on getting down the trail before Bouton,
urged their horses into wild gallop,
locking neither to the right nor left.
Robb an. his mon we're on foot, and
they attempted to head off the horse
men They would. without doubt, have
succeeded in their object had not the
captain fang himself from his horse
and brought them to sudden halt by
sending down the man who was III the
advance Still on kept the captain ;
party. They were 900 yards ahead Of
him when he remountcd to follow. But
III his efforts to save his men he had
placed himself in deadly peril
From the valley Bouton saw and rec
ognized him, and shouting to his men:
Take him alive! Take him alive'' he
led the charge to head Captain Brandon
off. Close pressed though the captain
was, he might have gone through had
not Bouton, who had been in the ad-
vance, flung himself from his horse and
fired He was fine rifieman. He should
be, for firearms had been his toys in
childhood and his constant companions
in manhood The captains horse gave
three quick, short bounds The knees
suddenly doubled up, and the daring
rider was dashed to the ground, where
he lay bleeding and senseless. ''Ho,

laying his foot ON the captains slow

"Then he would have been true to
himself, " sigAcd Nera
At length the iIfinG died out, and the
vermilion spcek disappeared from far
I'D the mountain side. When B9uton
saw this and believed he could move
about in safety, he left the protection Of
the rocks and mounted his horse. He
felt in his wicked heart that Henry
kvle watchd for him, and death would
be certain if he once yentured within
range Of the dreaded rifle. Not only
hate for but dread of Henry Kyle made
him doubly anxious to get him out of
the way. and. as has been shown, he
used every means in his power to ac-
complish his purpose. As BOuton rode
in the direction which Font Robb had
taken he reviewed the incidents already
recorded, and he felt clated and depressed
by turns He had ridden about a mile
when he heard firing to the front, and
he hastened to place where Font Robb
had been brought to a halt. With an
oath he demanded to know what was
up now

And Robb, whose brain was none Of

Robb declared that he had men out
fianEing at that moment and that he
expected to get the little party out of
his way before an hour was over Then
he asked
''What are you goin to do with the
boss?''
"You mean Brandon?"
'That's the rooster IN alludin to. -
Font, what would you do with
him. asked Bouton, sinking his voice,
though there was 10 one but Robb with

II hope not.
"No, sir. I've been acting white man

show the Indian side Of my character.
Now, push on, and III go back and fol-

Bouton turned to ride back, and Robb
shouted after him:
''For heavens sake send that Sim
Bliss under firel It'd do me heap of
good to see that mildewed coyote knock
ed over. "
Bouton nodded to show that he un
derstood him and went back to the
spring, where the captain and girls were
still talking

The Prophet waved his hand, and
turning was soon swallowed up III the
Stygian depths of the cave. He had trav-
orsed few of the long cavern's cham
bers when he heard a low solemn chant
III the distance, and then the turn Of an
angle brought TO view the Coppery glow
Of torch Il at burned so far away that
it looked liLa patch Of red cloud sur
viving the setting of the sun. The
Prophets moccasined feet fell as lightly
on the hoor as the leaves ON the surface
Of an unripDled pond. He strode on, his
deep, long breathing alone telling of
his humanity, till he came to the sub
terranean waterfall from behind which
the light Of the torch came. He bowed
before the fall, which looked like cata-
ract Of crystalline blood, and as he stood
in this devotional attitude the waters
turned black, and an Indian, bearing
torch, came out and called to the
Prophet
Il have been waiting.
''And l have come, How are my
herders?" asked the Prophet.
'Safe, and so are the herds, +" replied
the Indian, who had charge Of the stock
in the valley, to which the Prophet led
Captain Brandon and Howard Blanch-
ard after their first visit to the cave
What news from the world at
strife:''
"One Of our people who came this
morning before the sun had risen speaks
of having heard much firing and shout
ing during the night" replied the In
dian.
The Prophet waved his hand, and the
Indian led the way with his torch until,
through the tortuous passages before
described, they emerged from the noun
tain side and stood bareheaded and
bowed before the glory Of the sun. They
had been here but few minutes, indeed
the torch thrown from the mans hand
was still smoking on the ground, when
another Indian appeared, leading a
powerful but splendidly formed horse.
The equipments of the animal yer.
quite in keeping with the Prophets
change of costume, and the proud crea-
ture arched its neck and champed on the
bit as anxious to be off.
Guard well this entrance to the
caver' said the Prophet, pointing to the
crevice from which he had emerged.
The herders nodded and laid their
hands on their rifles.
"And see that the people in the cave,
the women and children, do not want
food.
The herders nodded again and laid
their hands ON their hunting knives.
Without another word the Prophet gath
cred up the reins and headed his horse
for the hills and sped away like an ar
row. From the crest of an elevation that
gave him a view of the country over an
area of 200 square miles the Prophet
reined up and flung himself from his
horse After surveying the landscape to
the west, beginning on the horizons
rim and coming nearer to the mountain
on which he stood, his eyes at length
rested on long irregular valley, that in
the clear atmosphere seemed to be only
a mile or two away. He could see the
pygmy figures of many horses and men.

After all the discussion a bout Mexico
which has been INDUCED in by speakers
and newspapers on both sides of the
silver question. it seems that there IS
little room for making a comparison
between that country and the United
States.
Nearly all the correspondents that
have been sent down there to write
up" the conditions agree that Mexican
manners. customs. institutions, environ
ments, traditions. tastes and ideas are
SO wholly different from those of the
United States that no comparison Of
any value in determining the points at
issue can possibly be made There is
one point. however. on which all seem
to agree. although differing as to the
cause thereof ana that IS that the Mex
leans are a prosperous, happy, content
ed race of people.
There is another point on which all
seem to agree. and that is that the sill
yer situation throughout the world has
the effect of high protective tariff in
Mexico and has given an extraordinary
impetus to the establishment of home
manufactures. 8Iexico's boom is reck-
oned ia that country from the period Of
the closing Of the Indian mints.
Importations have been greatly re-
dueed and expectations have been
largely increased. There have been a
consequent falling off in the govern
nnent tariff revenues and a raressa ~
increase in direct taxes. This only
proves that nation. like an individual.
cannot expect to have the penny and
the cake"
The people cannot buy the necessaries
and the Iuxuries of life from the home
producer and manufacturer and buy
the same articles from the foreigner at
the same time. If they buy at home
they establish a home market for home
productions and exclude the foreign
goods which pay duty. If they buy
foreign products the government reve-
nue. is increased but the home market.
the labor and the business of the
country suffer.
This is point for the American
voter to consider who favors buying
everything at home and at the same
time would afford a sufficient revenue
to sustain the government by tariff
on imports.

THF BUSINESS OUTLooK.

With seeming reluctance, both Dun
and Bradstreet. in their weekly reports
on the condition Of trade. are forced to
concede that there is a marked and
general Improvement in business.
They also predict that the improve
ment win increase and be continu-
Gus after election This prediction is
made without any qualifications as re-
CARDS which ticket may prove success
fuL
The improvement. they say, IS based
on natural laws which take wheat
where it is wanted and gold where it is
wanted Just now wheat appears to
be wanted ia India.
This fact to a considerable degree ex-
plains why silver bullion has not re-
sponded to the advance in wheat Sill
yer is not wanted in India as formerly.
because India is a buyer Of wheat in
stead of a seller. Europe is not buying
American silver for the purpose of ex-
changing it for Indian wheat for the
reason that there is no Indian wheat
for which to exchange it, Instead of
purchasing American silver to ex-
change for Indian wheat, Europe is
paying out her own gold for American
wheat
The farmer who has been able to hold
onto his wheat viii get the benefit Of
the rise. but unfortunately he is not
numerous. The bulk of the wheat in
the country has probably gone into the
elevators. but the farmer along with
the rest ST the people viii share the
general benefits resulting from the in
