HOW A KINGS TROOPER BECAME
A WASTREL.
Dick pressed closer to me, INC I could
feel him drinking in deep d%raughts OF
the grateful outer air.
What new wonder is this?" he would
ask, with something akin to awe in his
Voice; but we must needs grope this
way and that to feel out the answer
with our 1inger-tips.
When the answer was found, the
mystery of the lost trail vas solved
most simply. AS we made out, we
were in q deep creVice cut crosswise by
the stream which, issuing from a
yawning cavern in the farther wall,
was quickly engulfed again by that
lower archway we had just traversed.
In some %upheaval of the earthquake
age a huge slice Of the mountains
face had split off and settled away
from the parent cliff to leave a deep
cleft open to the sky. One end Of this
creVice chasm-that toward the upland
valley-Was choked and filled by the
debris of later landslides; but the low
er end was open.
Through this lower end, as we made
no doubt, the powder train had come,
turning from the Indian path in the
gorge up to the bed of the barrier
stream, turning again at the outer cav
ern mouth to squeeze In single file be-
tween he thickly matted underground
on the cliffs face, and SO to pass
around the split-off mass and come into
the crevice rift.
How the sharp eyes of the old hunt
er, and those of the Catawba as well,
had missed the finding of this squeez-
ing place where the cavalcade had left
the stream-bed, we could never guess;
but IN the chance that we might yet
need to NOW all the crooks and turn
ings Of this outlet, we felt our way
quite around the masking cliff and
down to the streams edge in the gorge.
That dom we We're ready for a far
Their advance; and c%lambering back into
the crevice we once more took the
stream for our guide and were pres
emily deep in the natural tunnel pierre
ing the mountain prope This extern
sion of the subterranean waterway
proved to be a noble cavern, wide and
high enough to pass a loaded vain, as
we determined by tossing pebbles
against the arching roof. None the

and in the sharpest elbow Of them all,

WI TAKE THE CHARRED STICK
FOR A GUIDE.


Luckily for Us the new danger was
approaching from the westward. So,
by dint of the maddest hurryings we
got the bodies of the three Cherokees
hoist upon the horses, n were able
20 efface in part the signs of the late
encounter before the band of riders
coming down the Indian path was upon
us. But there was no time to make
an orderly retreat. At most we could
only withdraw a little way into the
wood, hating when we we're well in
cover, and hastily stripping coats and
waistcoats to mufle the heads Of the
horses.
So you are to conceive us waiting
with nerves upstrung, ready for fight
Or flight as the event should decide,
pr all of us would gladly have ex-
changed for the %fiercest battle. Hap
PLY, the breath scanting interval was
short. From behind our thicket screen
we presently saw a file of Indian horse
meE riding at a leisurely footpace down
the path. Ephrain Yeates quickly
AIMED these new corners for US.

by the sudden .snorttng and shying OF

they know by experience it can be re-

TOD SLOAN A CHAUFFEUR.
Has Lost a Fortune of 100000 Inside
of a Wear

Has Lost a Fortune of $500 900 Inside
of a Year.
Washington Star: After travelling across
the country in special trains, entertaining
with a l%avishness that filled his friends
with awe, and making unsuccessful at
tempts to break the bank at Monte Carlo,
James Tod Sloan, one time champion
jockey of the world. Is in Paris, working
as a chauffeur.
From a wardrobe that was equal to
that of any Beau Brummel in the world,
and which made him a pet in society, the
little fellow, according to word which
has reached this country, is in want of
both clothes and a place to sleep. He
is in Paris, employed temporarily by a
French m concern at q paltry
salary-a salary that in a month does not
reach the figures of one days expenses
two years ago.
When not employed as a chauffeur he
is engaged In selling machines for diff
tation as a former Jockey to bring trade
to their shops. His downfall since being
ruled off the English tracks has been
rapid.
Always Of determined spirit, he recent
ly told some acquaintance who met him
in France that he would never return to
the United States and suffer the humilia-
ton he knew would be his should they
learn that he is now receiving less thar
81, 900 a year, where he was earning $50, 600
annually when he last saw his relatives.
His foster parents live at Kokomo, Ind.
and they say hat Todd was worth $500, 600
not long ago. but he gave none to them,
and they are not now in a position to
help him financially. willing as they are
to do so. An effort will be made to raise
funds for him should he care to return to
his former home, but those who know
the disposition of the young man declare
he will never be seen in this country
again.
