CHAPTER VIII.

ON THE PLATEAU.
- N, on we sped, under starlight,
over stony pike, steel shod
~ hoofs striking fire on flinty
stones, snake fences with
ing, trees dancing in a semicircle about
those beyond. We dashed over wooden
bridges; we splashed through shallow
streams; we dipped into hollows and
tilted over crests, while now and again
some startled bird stretched its wings
and went whirring into the forest.
On my right rode Tom JaycOx, hold

grinding uneasily on quid. did not
know his name, but memory brought
me a picture Of that same face lighted
by shOtguns flashing in the night.
Our breakneck speed lasted till we
had put some miles between us and the
plantation; then we slackened our pace
and walked our painting horses till they
had partly recovered their wind, then
struck trot. 1t was immaterial to me
at what gait we moved. I thought only
Of my approaching end. Surely it could
not be far distant. Why did 1t not
come at once? A pistol ball, a club
anything is enough to take life. Then
shuddered as the thought struck me
that was to be kept for more linger-
ing death.
We were passing between a range Of
hills on our left and the Cumberland
plateau on our right when Jaycox drew
rein, and we all came to halt. There
was sound Of horses hoofs behind,
coming at brisk canter, but no sooner
had we stopped than the sounds ceased.
Both the men listened until all was ST.
lent. then Jaycox started ON.
"All right, Pete" he said. "Whoever
1t is has either stopped or left the
road"
Some I'm goin home late, I reckon"
We proceeded ON our way, but had
gone scarcely quarter Of a mile when
We again heard the hoof beats in our
rear. Again we pulled up and listened.

Both listened, waiting to hear the
sounds renewed, but as they were not

stead O furder on"
Turning to the right, we passed
through timber, beginning a gradual
ascent Of the plateau. Jaycox rode
ahead, holding my bride rein, while
Pete followed, revolver In hand.
Who We're on the road l knew no
more than my abductors, but as a
drowning man will catch at 4 straw I
cast about for some method of letting
them know Of our depression. Bending
low in the saddle, peered through the
gloom, watching for something with

HISTORIC CHARACTER
and Wife SEPARATE

It's all off with me and the old
woman"
Thus said Captain Charles n. Clark
to one of his fellows in the court
house. where the captain has for sew
eral years held the position of night
watch.
Just when or where or how the
thing happened the old man has not
told his friends. but the incident
forms but another in the strenuous
life led by this man since he first
became associated with John Brown
in his designs on the federal govern
ment. Clark is known as the last of
John Browns raiders and has had a
remarkable career.
Clark il was whom Brown left be-
hind when he went east in the final
days of preparation for the raid on
Harper's Ferry. BY some misunder-
standing Clark did not participate in
the raid, but narrowly escaped cap
ture near Detroit soon after the Har-
per's Ferry incident. At that time
there was bounty of $4,000 placed
on his head Clark made his way to
Kansas and there raised a company
of the Sixteenth Kansas volunteers.
He took the name of Jack Thompson,
fearing complications if he did not
hide his connection with John Brown.
Clark was one of the daring raid
ers on the Union side, and once saw

The three most popular men in Alas
ka, strange to say, are Judge, bish-
op and a revenue officer. These men
are Judges James Wickersham of the
United States district court, Bishop
Peter T. Rowe of the Episcopal church
and Lieutenant David II Jarvis of the
revenue cutter service, acting as col
lector of customs of the district.
When you travel through Alaska for
the purpose of asking questions you
are sure, sooner or later, to nave some
one say: why don't you wait until
You see Judge Wickersham, he knows
more about this country than any other
ten men" And when you finally do
find Judge Wickersham, away up on
the Yukon river somewhere. You be-
come convinced, after five minutes con
yeTsation, that the statement is true
Alaska is his hobby and it is entirely
safe to say that he knows more about
the country. its people, its resources
and its needs than any other man
Judge Wickersham was born in Him
DIS 46 years ago and went to Wash
ington in the early sos. In 1899 he
was appointed to his present position
He was at once recognized as an able
and distinguished Judge.
Bishop Rowe's great influence lies
in the fact that he is what the miners
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-11-30

know as a .'mixer." There is no man
in Alaska that the miner Is more pleas
ed to see in his cabin, no man for
whom he has greater respect. Bishop
Rowe was born in Canada in 1856 and
was consecrated bishop of Alaska IN
1895. Ever since that time he has
lived continuously in Alaska and there
is scarcely a place in the country that
he has not visited. most of his trips
being made over the winter trails with
pack or dog sled.
Lieutenant Jarvis still retains his
commission in the cutter service, al
though he is acting as collector of
customs. In the winter of 1897 he was
put in command of the overland ex-
petition for the relief Of the strand
ed whalers at Point Barrow. This
expedition, which started from a point
| on the Boring sea coast far south of
the Yukon river in December, requir-
ed three months to reach Point Bar
row, the most northerly point in Alas
ka. The trip covered 1900 miles and
for a great part of the way the en-
petition included herd of nearly 800
reindeer, which were taken for food.
The expedition lived off the country
and its record is one of heroism and
determination which is not eXcelled in
| the history of the country.

NEGRO GIRL WRITES POETRY.

Frequently her mistress, when COM
ing out from the control Of spirit forces
would write a piece of poetry, which,
she said, was inspired while she was
under the influence. This so worked
on the girls mind that, one night
VIII lie talking with her mistress about
spiritualism, she seemed to pass into a
sleep that lasted for several minutes.
Then she awoke, and selling a pencil
that lay on the table. she wrote a piece
of poetry. This was about year ago.
She sent the poetry to a negro paper
and it was published. Frequently
since that time she has written pieces
of poetry, declaring that each poem
is inspired by spirit forces. Last win
ter Paul Lawrence Dunbar visited Kan
sas City and Miss Martin met him
and submitted some of her poems for
criticism. The negro poet pronounced
them of high order of merit. and
gave the girl great encouragement
Since then she has contributed many
to her race papers and some to the
local newspapers, all of which have
been published. Here is her latest
effort.
The sun in his red robe of fire

The bright golden hue of the sunset

And peeping from DER the horizon
