"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

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.

Allen, Sr., up and Champagne, Cannon
np. They gut off with Champagne a
length behind. At the turn Bookland
was leading and in this position they
came down the stretch, though at the
outoume Champagne was closing up rap
idly ou his adversary. Time, 1 :01, which
for live furlongs is exceediuglr fast, and
we believe, has not beeu equaled on the
uo8t. It was a horse race iu every
seuse. (We have learned since that the
dislance was short about 100 feet.)

next was a dead beat between Port

uoruss the track, upsetting the safety
tbrowiug the rider heavily to the ground.
Fortuuately he escaped with no in
juries to mention, though the wheel was
somewhat the worse for wear. Bor.
rowing another wheel, he went out for
the third heat and won it. Time, 0:51,
0:54 and 0:58, respectively. Distance,
one-fourth of a mile.

The borsee got away on the first heat
with little cermony, Champagne 1 adiog
