There are numerous diseases having
‘their origin in the blood, but which on
the surface do not appear to be a blood
disease. Such is Malaria, which is a
poison breathed into the lungs, and thus
taken into the blood and circulated, im

effects. Those who have suffered from
this dreaded disease know what a life

tion. With coats and trout rods
strapped to our handle bars and
creels slung to our hacks, we wheel
ed leisurely up the mountain side,
dismounting now and then, more to
admire some charming view than
because the road was too steep for a
steady pace.
We were glad to reach the top,
however, and then flew over another
ten miles through a level gap with
snow capped peaks on either side.
Then, whirling off to the right, wo
sped along a narrow ndge to the
Grub Stake, five miles off the main
stage road.
Such trouting as tho snow fed
lakes and creeks in that locality
afford I have never enjoyed else
where. We tried new waters every
day, purely for the pleasure of ex
ploring the country, and after a spin
6f anywhere from five to twenty
miles in the bracing morning air,
would hide our wheels in a thicket
and clamber over a ridge to some
lake or stream, seldom failing to
return with creels that made our
shoulders ache to carry.
Fishing one day up a little creek
at the bottom of a lonely canyon
near where the road from the mine
joined the stage road, we came upon
a pair of mustangs hobbled and
feeding in a secluded nook. A couple
of saddles and bridles lay on a log
near by, but no signs of a camp were
anywhere visible. W T e thought noth
ing of the matter, supposing the
owners to be hunting or fishing not
far away.
Riding home late one evening a
few days after, we overtook two
horso men in cowboy dress watering
their horses at a spring near the
same spot. We also stopped for a
drink and were soon joking and
bantering with the others on the
respective merits of our steeds. The
cowboys examined our wheels with
much affected interest, asked where
we were stopping and a great many
questions about the roads and the
oattle ranges roundabout., stating
that they were strangers visiting the
locality for the first time in search
of a range. They inquired anxiously
how far it was to the next stopping
placo as wo rode in company to tho
forks of the road,' and when we
swung off toward the mine wished
ns go; d evening with the hope that
they 3.j ght meet us again.
“Dick,” said I when we were well
ut of hearing, “those are the same
o horses we found in the canyon
e other day.”
“I believe they are,” replied Dick.
“What can the fellows he up to?”
“That’s what I’d like to know,”
I rejoined. “Somethingcrooked, I’ll
venture, or th$y wouldn’t lie to us.”
Finding the superintendent alone
in his little hoard office when we
returned, we spoke to him of these
strangers. He seemed strangely
interested and questioned us closely
concerning them.
“Boys,” said he, “I wouldn’t have
missed learning this for half a year’s
salary. Look here!” he continued
quietly, after closing and locking
the door and pulling a small chest
from under his bed in one corner of
the room.
“Whew!” I whistled, when he
held up tho lid and disclosed what
looked like four yellow bricks lying
side by side.
“That’s the ‘range’ those chaps
are looking for,” said tho super-,
intendont. “I’ve suspected some
thing of the kind from the way our
freight teams have been held up

hut how, I don’t know.”
An idea flashed into my head. I
was almost afraid to offer the sugges
tion, hut glanced instinctively to
ward our wheels leaning against the
wall. The superintendent’s eyes
followed mine.
“The very thing!” ho cried, clap
ping a hand on my shoulder. “That
j is, if they’ll carry the extra weight.
! Let’s see—two bricks, forty pounds
for each of you. Will those spider
web affairs stand up under it?’.’
We assured him that they would
and that we were ready for the
i undertaking.
“Say. Dick. ” said L at suDDer that
way or scurried along ahead until
wo were about to catch them, and
night birds twittered in the trees
overhead.
We stopped for a drink at a spring
soon after we gained the stage road,
and as I put my lips down to the
water a big owl hooted loudly from
the ridge above us. I am no orni
thologist, but there is not a bird in
all the woods whose call I cannot
imitate, and something in tho sound
struck me as peculiar. I raisod my
head to listen. Again came that
familiar “too-hoot, too-hoo-hoot,
too-hoo-oo!” hut with a tone and
inflection so clearly human that it
sent cold chills up and down my
hack underneath those gold bricks.
“Hold on. Listen to that owl!” I
said, as Dick was about to mount.
A moment later the call came again.
It meant nothing to my companion,
as I could see by his face, hut the
echoes had not died away before I
sprang awheel and went off at a clip
that surprised Dick.
“Oh, come now!” he shouted from
behind. “What do you moan by
hitting it up in that fashion?”
“Oh, let’s scorch along,” I re
plied. “I’m anxious to get this stuff
off my hack and off my mind as
well. ’ ’
Dick scanned my face koenly in
the moonlight as ho came up. “What
is it?” he asked. “Did that owl
scare you?”
“Yes, hut don’t lose your head,
old fellow. We’re in for it, I’m
afraid.”
“Do you think they’vo seen us?”
he asked.
“I’m sure of it,” I replied. “That
owl was their signal, if my ears
haven’t fooled me, and we shall ho
in luck if we don’t hear them behind
us before wo reach the grade.”
Without a word Dick bent over
his handles and took the pace away
from mo in a twinkling. We had
relied on escaping suspicion, even if
our departure was noticed by the
rascals, whom we well know were
watching tho roads day and night;
but that call meant mischief, I felt
sure, in spite of the fact that $10,000
upon one’s hack on a lonely moun
tain road at night, coupled with the
knowledge that evil eyes are upon
you, is apt to mako one nervous and
apprehensive.
With the start we would have
before the robbers could get into
the saddle and on the road, we
should have had little fear of their
catching ns had all of the 20 miles
between us and the station been
level like tho first half; hut that ten
mile grade, with its sharp turns
around precipitous ledges, where the
narrow track hung over rocky
depths that made one dizzy to look
down into—there speed was out of
tho question. With thoso top heavy
loads on our hacks crowding us on
and ready to topple us over at every
sharp turn, the slipping of a wheel
or an instant’s loss of control meant
destruction.
My thoughts wero in a whirl as
we raced along in the quiet moon
light.
“Steady, Dick; not quite so hot,
old hoy, or you’ll have us both
pumped out,” I called to him,
knowing well the temper of my
companion. “It may he only a falso
alarm, after all.”
I was glad to see him ease up, for
a more daring, reckless ride never
pressed a pedal, and I feared if we
started down that grade with clatter
of hoofs behind us his very boldness
might prove our worst danger. Mile
after mile we reeled off at a scorch
ing pace, our ears strained to catch
the first sounds of pursuit, hut the
hum of our wheels alone broke the
stillness, and reaching the brow of
tho hill wo threw ourselves off to
take breath and listen. Everything
was still as death, and Dick laughed
a good deal at our scaro as wo glided
on our way, hut he did not laugh
long.
The road wound along the moun
tain side, now and then running far
hack into some dark nook to get
around the bead of a canyon, only to
double and come back on the other
side a little lower down, but not a
stone’s throw away. Bowling out of
the first of these bends, we scanned
tho road above and behind. Suddenly
our ears caught a sound feiat set our
hearts heating to its own time.
“Pitty pat, pitty pat,” quick and
sharp on the still air it came. There
was no mistaking that sound, and as
we whirled around the point wo saw
two horsemen dash over tho brow
of tho hill.
faster, and I felt the blood leave my drips on to them froin
face as I saw what the madcap above,
meant. An old mining ditch ran
along the side of the road at this
point, and, instead of following it
around tho bend, was carried
straight across the mouth of the

current of air, there is a rapid do-

with a touch hole, they bore a rude
resemblance to the guns used in
modern warfare. Such appears to
have been the natural evolution of
the cannon.
The word “cannon” is, in tho
original Sanskrit, shet agbnee, or
the “hundred killer,' and “firearm^

after its discharge from a bamboo
footbridge.
I shouted myself hoarse, hut could
not stop him. Like a flash he steered
down the path and went flying over
the abyss on a track scarcely wider
than the length of his handle bars.
I should never have dared to follow
had not a rush of hoofs and wild
yells close behind warned me that
it was but the least of two evils.
“Como on!” shouted Dick as he
went out of sight on the other side,
and then I felt myself sailing off into
spaco, with tho narrow planks creak
ing and trembling under mo.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bullets whis
tled past me on all sides. I felt some
thing like a club hit me in the small
of the hack, and a spoke twanged
musically, but with a quaver, as if
of pain, that went through both
wheel and rider. How I got across
but, owing to the strong current of
air which constantly extinguishes
the torches, and the smallness of the
passage, which slopes down rapidly
from the entrance, no detailed de

doubtedly the cave runs on for some
distance, perhaps to another outlet,
for the ourrent of air is very strong
at the extreme point to which any
one has yet penetrated.
The ioe has probably remained
frozen in the cave from the winter
months, the action of the higher
summer temperature being insuffi

The description is very suggestive
of the use of gunpowder. It has
been remarked that there are many
districts on the continent of Asia
where saltpeter exists in such quan

that its accidental mixture with the
carbonized wood of campfires pro

combustible nature must have been
a matter of common notoriety, and
it is to the inhabitants of that part of
the world that we should naturally
ascribe the invention of rockets,
even if other cvidenco to that effect
were wanting. Another material
suitable for the manufacture of ex-

which instantly darted on it wher
ever it was seen. The country of
tho Astaceni was near the sources of
tho Indus, perhaps Kabul. From
naphtha were probably prepared the
fire balls and wildfire, which wore
sometimes used with great effect in
Indian battles. Indeed, it is sur

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional dis-
egre, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Hal Fa Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts di
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a
quack medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this coun
try for years, and is a regular pte-
setiption. It is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combi
nation of the two ingredients is what
produces such wonderful results in cur
ing Catarrh. Send for testimonials, free

JL Kentuckian’s Idea of Heaven.
Captain George Ewing of Bath
county, Ky., was a gallant officer in
tho Confederate army, and he is
now at home on his big blue grass
farm, fat, hale and hearty, and ho
still ridos a horse with tho ease of a
Comanche.
Talking to some friends last sum
mer at Olympian Springs about
heaven he said:
“My idea of heaven is to meet the
hoys I went a-fishin with and the
girls we used to serenade. I want
to talk boss with Bill Bottsand hear
Sam Wright lie about how many
wild turkeys he shot with one bul
let. I would like to hear old Colonel
Murray brag on his stock of hogs,
and hear Dick Costigan tell what a
smart dog his Tige was. I don’t
care nuthin ’tall aboutsettin round
in golden chairs and playin on harps.
I never could even as much as play
on a jew’s harp. And, say, wouldn’t
I look nice flyin around with a lot of
strango angels?”—Chicago Times-
Herald.
Tho Fool Who Knew Latin.
It was a mediaeval saying that a
fool is never a complete fool unless
he knows Latin. This may also bo
said of the pedant, the man who is
educated beyond his capacity, and
hence the knowledge that ha cannot
assimilate is an incumbrance, in at
tempting to Use which he only
makes himself ridiculous. — Notes

Tho league of Malines, 1513, was

XII of France. It was dosigned to
break down the influence of the
French on tho continent, and tho
allies took tho field with a con- |
siderable force, but only one battle
was fought, or rather was not
fought, for the French ran away
with such celerity that this conflict
was known as “tho battle of the

peace, followed, Louis practically
acceding to the main demands of the
allies.
