"Halt!" , It is ten o'clock in the forenoon of a June day. 'fen white topped wagons, drawn by aa many spunsof heavy horses, are strung out in lino ou the plaiiiB of Northern Dakota, while fifteen horse men ine distributed its length to act as guards. There is a driver to each Wilson, and you can thiw,covmt twenty five souls. Twenty-five? Ah! but sharp eyes detect tho fiuttcrratc of a woman's dress ou the seat of one i.f the wagons. Twenty-six, then, with their faces stonily set to the west, each man heavi ly aimed and every eye scanning the eon n try ahead and about for bikhb pf uanfrer. Who are they? . The gallant Custer has made Us re port of gold in the Black Hills, and fifty thousand seekera after wealth are moving to the west. The country is still iu the hands of the savages, and in furiated at the thought of being overrun and pushed to the wall. -as has been the case over and over again, every man who can bear arms is on the warpath to drive back-the invaders. This party has come ut from Brule City, Dakota. It followed the White river for more than two hundred miles, and left it to strike northwest for the forks of the Big Cheren e two days be fore w ) f juiii tliein. r tfr tne iast three days Indian signs have been plenty. They have entered upon the territory or the hostiles, and every mile of their progress will now be watched by keen eyes. 'Haiti la there danger aheadr The wagons close np rapidly, as the drivers have been drilled to do, and in ten minutes everything is prepared for whatever may happen. Here. Harkins here. Taylor! calls the leader to two of the mounted men, and as they ride forward he continues: The oltl man is going to turn up his toes, and I've called a halt to let him die iu peace.. He's been asking for both of yon." Who was the old man? Be had joined the party at the last moment, coming from no one cared where. Ha was an old hunter and trapper, and had oeen in the Black Hills country. He could guide the party by the best and most direct route, and ho had the money to outfit himself. He gave his name as Saunders. and Ins queer speech and actions made the crowd look upon him as weak in the dead. He had been taken very ill the day before, and both Harkins and Tay lor had shown him many acta of kind ness. No one expected his death, and the announcement that his hour had coine created much surprise. However, after each bad spoken his mind about it, the majority of the men threw them selves dowu on tho trass to smoke or cliat. and more than one impatiently estimated the distance lost by this delay. Harkina and Taylor dismounted and climbed into the wagon where the old man lay: A few hours had wrought a great change in him, and it was plain enough that hia time had come. "Look a-here, men, began the old man as the pair expressed their sorrow for him, "'this has come a leetle sooner than 1 looked fur. but I'm not goin to complain. Fur forty years the Lord has let me live to roam these yere plains and dwell iu the mountains, and my race is run. 1 hain't got no word of complaint." " Wliy, the old mnn is dt.ad!" 'Do yon wish us to hunt np your friends and tell them where and how yon died?" asked Harkins. "Friendsl" laughed the old man. "1 never had one. 1 hain't got any." "But can we do anything?" asked Taylor. "Fnstly, prop me up a leetle higher and then give me a drink of whisky. 1 never sot as ranch by the stuff as some, but mebbe it will keep life in me till 1 can spin my yarn. Now, then, did ye ever hear tell of old Bridger?" "I have." replied Taylor. "He was an old hunter and Sapper, who was wiped out at the Fort Kearney maasacre." Correct: and they've got a fort named after him aouiewhar' out here. Bridger and me was pards fur many years. We waa in this Black Hills country together Latest U. S. Gov't Report .. . 0 mwaer upward of twenty years ago. t veDeen wanting to got back thar fur these last five years." "Did yon and Bridger iiud any gold there?" asked Harkins. ('That's what I'm comin to. I didn't,, but he did. We went thar to hunt, bein satisfied if vm got enough skins and pelts to keep us i powder and ball. One day when a war party made a dash at us we got separated. I took to the timber and BriJger hid in a cave in a canyon. It was three days before we cum together agin, and then we had to dust out to save our scalps. It was on the way home that Bridger told me what he found in the cave." The men almost held their breaths, while tho old man waited a minute be fore resuming. "Bridger nevor told a lie in his life. What he said about that cave kin be de pended on same as if you read it iu the good book. Thar was gold thar in heaps. He said it waa in lumps and bars, as if it had been melted up mor'n a span of hosaee could draw. He was in thar a day and a half, and he bad time to be sartin.'" "It was the red man's treasure house!" exclaimed Taylor. "Waal, no. Bridger didn't reckon the Injuns had ever diskivered tho place. He allowed that the gold bad bin thar fur a good many years way back to the time when the Mexicans kivered this country. I've heard tell thar was a white race all over the west." "Yes. the Aztecs," replied one of the men. "Them's it. It was them instead of the Injuns who stored up the gold. We allowed to go bat after it some day, but the years went on, Bridger got wiied out and now I'm headed that way only to feed the wolves " "And and you will tell us where this cave is?" anxiously inquired Taylor. "1 will," replied tho dying man, as a smile flitted across his face. "Hain't it curus? One lays a-dyin. thinkin of the hereafter, and the other is jist a-trem-blin in his anxiety to git hold of wealth and spend it? It's like poor humanity. The thought of that gold never bothered me an hour, while you will risk your lives fur a sight of it. But I'll tell ye. That's what 1 axed yo to cum in here fur. You've bin white with me, and I kin reward ye fur it." . Harkins and Taylor glared at each other across the dying man. The fiend of avarioo was already whisporing in their ears. "If you strike tho big Cheyenne at the forks," saitl the hunter, "the mountains will be due north of yon. The big peak in front of yo has been named after Cus ter. About five miles to the right of that peak isa canyon the one up which Bridger fled. He said he went about a mile and then took into a smaller one leadin to the left. Ho hadn't gone fur before ho grabbed a bush to pull him self upon a ledge out of the bottom, and as ho reached tho ledge he was at the mouth of the cave. He reckoned it was eight or ten foot up, and he thought a path led from it up into the mountain. It ar' always dusky in those rifts, and ye might pass up and down a lifetime and seo nothing. It may take ye a month of aarchin. but ye'll tind a big reward." Each man had caught his every word and sought to impress it on his memory, and each secretly hoped that the other would forget. This eagerness resulted in a curious error. Harkins understood the hunter aright when he said to the right of Custer's peak. Taylor under stood him to the left. "Ye'll hev to be on the watch fur red skins." saitl the old man after a long pause. "They're out and in arms and they'll show ye no mercy. This rush of white men will drive 'em hack after a time, and I counsel ye to let the cave alone till it's safe to go thar. Then yo kin make np a small party, bring it off ami divide it np as is fair." "Never!" whispered Taylor as be clenched his hands. "Divide with him when I can get it all!" demanded Harkins of himself. They had been friends in danger. The prospect of wealth had turned their friendship to hate. An hour ago tbey would have periled their live.s for each other. Now. they wished each other dead. . The jiossession of gold may bring hap piness. The thirst for it may lead to murder. "Ye hev beon good to me and 1 wish ye Incl-," said the old man in a whispor, bnt neither of the men heard him. They were thinking and planninf. "About Bve miles to the right of Custer's peak." Harkins kept repeating to himself. "About five miles to the left of Cus ter's peak." Taylor repeated over and over again. Two or three minutes parsed away, -nd then the latter bent forward aud cried out: "Why, the old man is dei.dl" So be was. He had mad- no struggle even no sign. "Well, that was white in him not to delay us," laughed the leader of the car avan when informed of the event. "Some men might have Kent as here all day and then concluded nr. to die after all. Now the only thing is to plant him. A couple of men were soon scooping out a shallow gr&ve with their spades, and within half au hour after the flame of life had flickered out the body was covered and the wagon train moving on. Then a couple of great vultures dropped from the sky to earth to wait Three or four gaunt wolves, their long bair dirty and ragged, came skulking over the broken ground. Five painted and feathered Indians crept out of a dry ravine scarcely forty rods away, and with the vengenoe of devils set to work with hands and ativka to uncover the body. .There waa a gup. pressed about as it was rolled out and another as the scalp was held aloof. Five minutes . later the ' wolves and vultures had the body to themselves.
