then young lawyer. He arrived in
the camp in 1862. He was a natural
born leader of men, and the miners

organized district he had written
wanted to name the new town in his
honor. Stapleton suggested the name
Bannack, after the Indian tribe that
inhabited that section of the country.
and this name was agreed upon.
Young Stapleton had an excellent
education in the law. He had grad

ted to practice in Iowa, before he was
of age. The lure of adventure at

ked across the plains to Colorado.
About that time news came to Colo

on Grasshopper creek in Montana.
and Stapleton was among the first to
reach that camp after the discover
ers.
No Work for Lawyers
He intended to practice law. But
there was no law and no courts in
the territory, and therefore little oc-
casion for lawyers. He foresaw the
need of simple laws for the reguIa-
ton of the mining district, and franz
ed the Bannack laws, which the
miners adopted.

the camp, where, with crude, wood

$500 per day.
Then came the discovery of gold in
Alder gulch. Stapleton and Colonel
Mclean were with the great STAN
pede of Bannack miners who follow
ed Bill Fairweather and his party,
the discoveries, to the new camp.
There were several hundred men
in this stampede. Near Point of
Rocks the expedition halted and or
ganized. Through the efforts of
Stapleton and Mclean, a miners
meeting was called, and Stapleton
was delegated to draw up the laws
of the Alder gulch district. These
laws were ratified by the miners,
and safeguarded the property, not
yea reached by the prospective own
ers, which afterwards produced a
hundred million dollars in gold. The
Stapleton laws, and all legal trans
actions and transfers made under I
them were approved by the consti- |
tuted authorities when, later, the ter

Stapleton carried the laws of Alder |

mined until 1865 with success. He

of years in Argenta, engaged in
quartz mining.

Of clothing. For this is the land of
Romany, of the race from which the
gypsy fortune telers and vagabonds
of the United States claim descent.
And the gypsy believes that beauty
unadorned is adorned the most.
Rumanian women, who admittedly
are the most attractive and fascinat-
ing in the Balkans, owe their strik-
ing beauty to their strain of gypsy or
Greek blood, their dangerous eyes and
their olive compilations. They are
buoyant and vivacious, romantic and
pleasure loving.

Both sexes in Rumania use perfum-
cry, rouge and cosmetic business is
one of the most profitable in Ru-
mania. The Rumanian men are tall,
handsome and dark, but are inclined
to be effeminate. They wear form
fitting jackets, Wristbands and affect
monocles and spats. This. of course,
does not apply to the peasantry, who
are sturdy, homely, energetic lot,
and constitute the backbone of the
country and its chief hope for the
future.
Although Bucharest prides itself on
being the Paris of the Balkans, and
French is spoken more than any
other foreign tongue, there is great
desire on the part of the educated
classes to learn English. American
tutors are much in demand.
There are at present three news
papers printed in French, which is
the court and society language. but it
probably will not be long before
daily paper published in English will
be established. Queen Marie, who is
an accomplished writer, has published
all her books in English. and that is
the language of the royal family, al
though both the king and queen COM
mand facile use of half dozen other
tongues.

Gale climbed the lava slope. away
round to the right of the arroyo,
along an old trail that Yaqui said the
Papagos had made before his own
people hunted there. From the
crests Yaqui's searching falcon gaze
roved near and far for signs of sheep.
Suddenly he grasped Gale and pointed
across n deep, wide gully.
With the aid of his glass Gale saw
five sheep. They were looking in his
direction. Remembering what he had
heard abou the wonderful eyesight
of these mountain animals, Gale
could only conclude that they had
seen the hunters.
Then Yaqui's movements attracted
and interested him. The Indian had
brought with him n red scarf and n
mesquite branch. He tied the scarf
on the stick, and propped this up in
a crack of the lava. The scarf waved
in the wind. That done, the Indian

Incredible, but nothing else could ac-

The sheep held this rigid position for
perhaps fifteen minutes. Then the

Impotence. The approach of the

with regular persistence, and in half
an hours time he was in the bottom
of the great gulf. and 500 he was
facing up the slope. Gale knew then
that the alluring scarf had fascinated
him. The animals disappeared behind
another ridge. Gale kept watching,
sure they would come out farther
on. A tense period of waiting passed,

then n sudden electrlfying pressure Of
Yaqui's hand made Gale trembln with
excitement.
Very cautiously he shifted his pc.

upon n high mound of lava. stood the
leader OF the sheep. As Gale watched.
