That Your
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
ABSOLUTELY PURE
OOPVRlOHT BV AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION, 1803
CHAPTER IX.
What a strange, wicked sentiment is
that of avarice! The thirst for wealth
will turn brother against brother, father
against son separate man and wife.
The Btory told by the dying hunter
had been received by Harkius and Tay
lor without question. He had said there
was gold enough for both, but does one
ever get, too much wealth? If there were
miH ons to divide neither wanted to di
vide it. They had been friendly before
the hunter called them in to give hisdy
ing statement; They had loft the dead
body hating each other. To bo just,
however, it should be said that Harkin
had less avarice and bitterness than
Taylor. He was better educated he
had the refining influences of his daugh
ter Bess he had less hope of being able
to come at the great Btore of wealth.
Indeed, he sometimes argued that it
would be best to give information to the
whole train and let all share alike and
be satisfied. Had Taylor met him half
way in his advances he would have
choked down the spirit of selfishness
and forced himself to feel that the half
would content him.
But Taylor, who was a single man and
a rough specimen of the American fron
tiersman, openly betrayed his distrust
and ill will. He looked upon the Eng
lishman as a robber. Ho would never
consent to divido the gold with him. He
might have to share it with others, but
never with him.
AWt&
"We are para's, old wan half and half
on that gold."
When the train was attacked the pres
ence of peril drovo away all other
thoughts but that of defense, but only
for a few hours. The thought came to
both men after a time: "Suppose he is
killed and I am spared! All will then
be mine?" Harkins went no further
than to indulge the wicked thought,
Taylor looked about him and whispered
to himself that if opportunity came he
would fire the bullet himself which
should make him sole owner of the con
tents of the cave.
Men who have been drifting in mid
ocean on a bit of wreckage, suffering
with hunger, thirst and exposure, and
having not the faintest hope of rescue,
have yet pUnned wicked and revengeful
things.
When tta last charge was made Tay
lor had the Englishman and his daugh
ter on his left hand and only a few feet
away. Under cover of the smoe he
deliberately fired upon them, hoping to
kill them both. One of his bullets
grazed the girl's shoulder and another
went through Harkins' hat, but Provi
dence willed that such a monstrous
crime should not be perpetrated. Tay
lor had no sooner made the attempt than
a sudden thought brought a smile to his
face and he smote his breast and mut
tered: "Fool that I am to have forgotten the
contents of that boxl Lot them live!
Let them go with me after the gold!
Let them aid nie to secure it, and then-
then"
He had attempted murder. He was
planning something far more horrible
than that.
It was midnight when the train
reached the forks of the Cheyenne and
went into catm. From that point it is
J only sixty miles to Custer's peak in the
blacH ilills. it was monism, umi iu io
main in camp for a couple of days and
refit nntl recruit. The major in com
mand of the cavalry was an old Indian
fighter and plainsman, and before the
camp broke up he called a general con
sultation. He impressed it upon one
and all that their safety forbade breuK
ing up into smaller parties than ten or
twelve men. The Indians were thor
oughly aroused and alert, and white
tbey might be reptil-ed occasionally
they would be almost certain to over
come small detachments of gold seekers.
No camp must be left unguarded by day
or night. No man must relax his vig
ilance for an hour if he wished to pre
serve his scalp.
A portion of the tr'xips would remain
at the forks for the summer us a rally
fnir noint. The other half would follow
-., vl
t 'i :
the south fork of the Cheyenne up to
the neighborhood of Harney's peak and
there form another camp. They might
make occasional scouts, but they would
not be strong enough to defend the peo
ple rushing into the country.
The major's remarks resulting in a
general reorganization of the train,
many of the hunters who had come thus
far with the soldiers had now to band
together and depend upon themselves.
Out of all three parties were organized
and put under the leadership of good
men. The first party consisted of the
old captain of the train, Joe, Harkius,
Taylor and seven other good men, Bnss
going of course, but not figuring in the
numerical strength. It hail been agreed
beforehand that the men should be
drawn by lot, and it was a curious bit
of fate that drew both Harkius and Tay
lor for one party when both were
earnestly hoping to be separated. Thero
were enough to give the other parties
equal strength or a little more, and each
and every man was sworn to support
and obey the chosen leaders. A fair
division was made of weapons, ammu
nition and necessaries of life, and each
party selected its own route. In the
first party all were agreed for Custer's
peak, while the other two decided to
Btrike iu farther to the west.
On (he third day all the parties moved,
and withiu an hour after the first wag
on pulled out the soldiers had the catnp
to themselves. It was the same sterile
country that bad been met with on the
other side of the river, cut up by the
same dry gullies and confused by the
same monotonous ridges, and each party,
now that it numbered so few, realized
its peril more fully as it went forward.
The distance between the liver and
the foothills was covered in three flays
of easy traveling and without actual
sight of a redskin, although signs were
encountered to prove that the party was
being watched day and night. The
wagons pushed over the foothills, wound
up a long and narrow valley, and
when they went into camp Custer's
peak seemod to loan light over them.
Here was a spring, abundance) of grass
and a fairly defensive position, and it
was decided to make a permanent'
camp.
No prospectors hud come this way, bo
fur as could be ascertained, and here
was as good a spot to try for the gold as
any other. It was decided that two men
should always be on guard during the
night, and that four should remain dur
ing the day while the other six went
forth in parties of two to prospect.
Three days passed without anything
of unusual moment. The prospectors
found enough to encourage them, and
not nn Indian had been seen. On the
fourth day it so happened that Harkins
and Taylor were named to go together
as one of the prospecting parties. Each
would have promptly declined the
other's companionship had he not real
ized that an explanation would have
been demanded by the others. What
could be said in explanation?
"I am sorry you are to go out with
that man," said Bess as her father was
making his preparations. "I have an
intuition that he hales us both and
would like to do us harm."
"Pooht child; but what put such
thoughts into your head?"
"He never looks at me without a
scowl, und I have seen him glare at yon
as if he thirsted for your life. If you
must go out with him, watch him well.
I feel that ho will seek to do you some
grievous injury."
"I can't say that I liko the man over
much," replied the father, "and he
doesn't seem to be any too much taken
with me; but we shall have no quarrel,
and I nhall take good care of myself."
As he was about to leave camp Joe
beckoned him aside, and while pretend
ing to examine his rille quietly said:
"I am sorry yon are going out with
Taylor. I don't think he likes you, and
he can be very disagreeable when he
wants to. Bo on the alert for any plan
he may have.
" You don't think ho would assassinate
me, do you?" asked Harkins in surprise.
"If there is uny reason why ho wants
to todav will furnish him plenty of op
portunities," replied Joe. "Lookout for
Indians, but lookout for Taylor just as
sharp."
It may be imagined that Harkini left
the camp in an unenviable frame of
mind, but Taylor's demeanor soon gave
him relief. T ho rutin was elated, good
natured and Karrulnus. He had not
been drinking, for tho only wh.sky in
camp was in charge, if the captain; but
he acted greatly like one who had a
glass too much. Not a word had passed
between them about tho treasure since
they separated over the old hunter's
body. They were scarcely clear of the
camp when Taylor slapped Harkins on
the back, extended his hand for a shali"
and exclaimed:
"At last wo are alone and can talk
over our secret. I've Maw-times felt a
if I must talk or butt. Vo are pards,
old man half and half on that gold."
"So wo are," replied flarkins. "I
have not breathed a word to any soul,
and I suppose yon have been as dis
creet?" "You bet! There's enough for us two,
but not enough for any irore. In a day
or two we must make a hunt for that
cave, and if the gold is there wo muf t
get it away."
As they penetrated into the moun
tains, closely scanning rock aud soil
and occasionally stopping to investigate,
they chatted like the best of frienda.
auti rial-Kins reproached niinscit tor ms
harsh opinion of the man. Ho appeared
warm hearted and fair minded, and
when he magnanimously offered to take
.Too into the secret and let him Bhare
alike with them, Harkins wondered how
he and Joe and Bessie could have been
so mistaken.
Noon came.
"The fool!" whispered Taylor, as they
made ready to sit down and eat a bite.
"I've played him like a fish, and now to
wind him np! I'm going to fix him so
that he'll bother me no more! He's
going to be shot by the Indians, while
I'm going to miraculously escape!"
TO BE CONTINUED.
GOVEKNED BY FLESH.
Thomas Olell, a young man, 20 years
of a ee living seven miles back of Green
up, Ky.. met death in a strange manner.
He was a peoulinr character and had
been a pt.zzle to (liysieinns tor several
years.
He was eft'eoted by what he ate to such
an extent that when be indulged in eat
ing beef, about an hour a'terwards he
wonld beoome restless and wander out
in sent oh of cattle aud bellow as an ox,
aud would eel down ou his hands and
knees and eat grBss like a oow. When
he partook ot mutton his sctioiis were
those of a sheep, and he would bleat like
a I ii mb. When he ate chiokeu be would'
go out and search for worms and buus
wliioh he would devour with app irent
relish.
After a mess of fish he would wander
to ihe creek and jump in swimming, and
n few days ago he nearly lost his life
while playing fish.
Recently bis father Hiram, went tquir-
rel huuting end killed several, of whioh
the sou ate heartilv for dinner. Shortly
after he left the house going a short dis
tance to an oak grove. He was follow-
ed by the father, who knowing his sou's
peculiarties, always kept strict watch np
on him to resoue him frem danger. The
father stopped a moment to give some
direotions to bis hands working on a
field, and hastened forward to find his
Son, who had got out of view.
He Boon readied the rove and his at
tention was attracted to a large tree,
where he heard what souuded like the
familiar bnrkiug of a squiirel. Looking
up among the branches ot the tree he
s w bis son nimbly jumping from one
limb to another. He whs much alarmed
-is the boy was up fully fifty feet from
he ground. He called to him to oome
town, but this only seemed (o mtike the
boy want to escape, aud he attempted
to jump to another tree, hut missed his
hold and full to the ground, a mutinied,
hteathless mass of bumanily, and txpir-
I in less than five minutes.
His we believe is not an nnlikel)
story, there is no doubt in our iiiiinl
hat all persons are eileuted to a gru iter
or less extent by the food they enl we
mean mentally effected and this also
enlightens our mind us lo the oiiti-e ol
there being so many people who have
hoggish ropt-i adits iu this section, of the
country. El.

Krom Henry Wattersou's Courier-Journal.
Just as soon as the democrats get the
power they will wipe out the atrocious re
pulilicsn sugar bounty system and re
store Ihe sugar duties. Instead of pay
ing millions of bounty out nf tho treasury
to sugar planters, we will re-establish
the revenue tariff on sugar, yielding an

THE COYOTE BOUNTY.
If It Can Be Honestly Executed
It
Should Remain In Foree.
This Coast seems to be largely popula
ted by grumblers. If the state should
by law make all comfortably rich thers
Is no donbt that many would complain
of the hardship of the enactment.
We have no use for the coyote. It is
true it does some good by destroying
rabbits, mice, rats, sqnirrels, etc. Yet
,he injury it does in destroying sheep,
calves poultry, eto, by far over bahmues
the good it does.
Every farmer should be in favor of a
reasonable coyote scalp bounty. They
breed very fast and have few enemies
except man and they would soon becoma
so numerous as to make it impossible to
raise stock on the ranches where they
abound. All classes - should be in favor
of a bounty. If coyotes were allowed to
increase without hindrance many of the
necessaries of life such as mutton, eggs,
poultry, game, etc., would become ex
cessively dear. It is impossible even
now to raise pigs where coyotes are
numerous.
Many complain of the scalp bounty on
coyotes simply from misguided selfish
ness. They suy the sheep rancher is the
only one benefited and they are taxed
to make his business profitable and safe.
Theyforget that the coyote prefers nice
young turkeys, chickens, geese and
ducks to all other foods. Therefore a
bounty protects all our meat foods.
In the early history of the prairie
states coyotes were yery abundant.
Poor as the settlers were they soon saw
the necessity of extermination. By giv
ing a scalp bounty large enough to pay
men to hunt them as a business, tha .
coyotes wore practically exterminated.
The laws were then repealed. The peo
ple thoughtth at in an open, well settled
country they would be troubled no mors
wilh coyotes. They soon learned that a
good price on its scalp was the only
thing to keep the coyote out of the

Experlnienta In Corn Culture.
In a report on experiments conducted
at the Iowa station occurs the following:
Corn of the Capital varioty was grown
on five acres of lund manured with 168
loads of barnyard manure and on one
acre adjoining this piece without ma
nure. In preparing both of these pieces
of land in tho spring a crop of winter
rye was plowed under. Both fields were
cultivated exactly the same during the
entire season. The uniiianured acre
yielded 4U.V bushels of corn and the ma
nured land yielded 50.2 bushels per acre.
Early Mastodon and mammoth Cuban
corn grown on fall plowed land without
manure yielded 71.2 and 82.5 bushels of
corn per acre respectively. The large
yield of these two varieties on unma
nured ground is believed to be partly due
to early planting, as a drought set in in
May.
George W. Weed, the manager of the
Torham poultry yards, considers the
silver laced Wyanilotte3 the best for
general purposes.
