Taylor had been deliberating and plan ning since leaving camp, and he had firmly decided to osaiiBSinate Harkins, It was a golder opportunity. The two were alone, far from camp, and who was to deny any story he might tell when he returned without his pnrtner? With Harkins ont of the way he was the sole possessor of the golden secret, Taylor's change of demeanor should have put the Englishman on his guard, but it had the opposite effect, 'i be warn, ings nttered by Bess and Joe were for gotten, and the man reproached himself with the thought that he had unjustly accused one who was that very moment thirsting for his life. Dinner being over, Taylor was ready for action. His face was pule, his hands f-p'yibled and he could x. l control his olce as he said: . J "You examine that ledi; cover yonder, while I bear off here to the right a bit. I won't go far." ' With an "all right" on his lips Harkins suouiaered his rlilo and moved rorward without a look behind him. Reaching the ledge he leaned his gun against it and began to investigate. Ho moved to the left, und was at the corner of the mass and on the edge of a gully or ravine when he felt the ground giving way under his feet. At the same instant ha heard Taylor twice shouting "Indiansl" and felt a hot flash across his shoulders. He went down ten or twelve feet with a mass of dirt and rock, but was not in jured by the fall. Believing that they had been discovered by Indians, he wisely decided fj remain where he was at the bottom of the ravine nntil something further was heard from the savages. Not a sound reached him from above. He wa3 sure he had heard the report of at least one rifle ns he was fulling, and others might have followed it with out his hearing them above tho noise of his fall. Had the Indians killed Taylor at the first fire? Would they make search for him? If Taylor had escaped, wouldn't he return after the coast was clear? ' For a full hour Harkins lay quiet in the ravino, half buried under the dirt. As nothing to alarm him had occurred, he determined to crawl out and make a survey. It was only after he was clear of the dirt that he discovered that he cause he means to go back to camp and claim that I was killed by Indians." It was now midafternoon and Harkimj was at least ten miles from the camp. Having no skill as a woodsman, he had trusted entirely to Taylor to observe landmarks, and ho now doubted if he even knew the general direction in which the camp was situated. He cast about for the highest point of ground, and when he hud ascended it he discov ered that he could see a portion of the valley up which the train had como. This gave him tho general direction and he set off with feelings much relieved. Taylor had no doubt started for camp at once, and as he would have to ac count for his appearing alone he wouH tell a story which would bring grief and distraction to at least one heart. "Poor Bessiel What would she do?" the father kept saying as he hurried along, and tho thought of her wild grief at learning of his death made him hurry the faster. He was compelled to bear to the left to avoid obstructions, and when he had covered half the distance he suddenly found himself on the brink of a canyon. It was a wild, gloomy chasm in the hills, and so dark at the bottom that he could make out nothing. He kicked loose stone at his feet into the gulf, and it went sheer down seventy-five feet be fore it struck with a dull thud. The lakes and rivers and mountains and valleys are wonderful things in na ture's handiwork, but the canyons are more wonderful still. Think of the mighty power required to split a great mountain in twain for miles and miles, beginning where it rises from the plain and continuing back until the walls 01 the chasm are a thousand feet high! Think of the mighty wrath let loose upon the earth that day the sun hang ing blood red in the murky heavens, the awful roar of the hurricane sweepi.ig a continent, the crash and explosion, the trembling of a world! And deep down in these awful rifts there is ever darkness ever midnight. The water drips and drips and drips with sound so monotonous that a human being would be driven insane in a day. No serpents crawl there no living thing can endure that grininess and sol itude. Tho grizzly bear the king of terrors shunned and dreaded by alt and hating all, makes his lair in these drifts, but goes back only to the edge of the shadow cast by the sun. He fears nothing living, but he fears that dark' ness and silence. Harkins followed down to the edge of the canyon, and after half an hour's walk he came to the, spot where it began, and this permitted him to make a de scent to the more 1-ivel ground. As he stood for a moment looking up the rift it seemed to him as if he had seen the place before. This was, as he reflected, impossible, but a sudden idea made him almost gasp for breath "I am about five miles to the right of Custer's peak," he whispered to himself, "and this must bo the canyon the old hnnter told us of in his dying hour."

Ho had expected to behold. Taylor's dead and mutilated corpse, but nothing of the man living or dead met his view. Harkins kept his place of observation for a quarter of an hour, and then bold ly climbed out of the ravine to make an investigation.

Ho crept forward on hands and knees, hearing the voices more distinctly each moment, and at length he reuched a spot from which he could see what was going on on the south side of the rock.

General Sweeny landed in New York in the thirties, in a family of exiles from the famine stricken island and after h few years i f study in the public schools, took up the printer's trade. Those wert the days of general traiuitig, when thr untioniil militia made some show of keep tng the law, and every large city boasted numerous compauies of organized sol diery. Sweeny enrolled himself in a band known as the "Baxter Blues," anil proved so good a soldier that at the be ginning of the Mexican war be was elect ed a lieutenant iu the tieoond Now Yolk Volunteers. 1 bat regiment maicbtd ami fought with Soott from Vera Cmc to tb City of Mextoo, and Sweeny wub in ev ery buttle op to Cheinbtisco. He war wounded there in lie fieioe attack led by Gineial (shields enainst the (lin k ol Hanta Anna's arm while the regulars stoimed the position in liont. H e Me leans fought Shields with unnsitnl des per at ion in order to save their main line from a toe in the rear. The New Yorkers made a brilliant charge, lost heavily, and came out oover- ed with glory. Swee n j'. right arm wbb shattered above the elbow and was am putated at the shoulder. On his arrival in New York he was given a publio re- eplion at the Castle Garden Theatre then the arena for gieat oeremonies, and was loaded wilh bonnis. Of Course the hand buried at Cburnbucoo could no longer stick type, and Unole Sam kindly recognized the beio stuff j behind that empty sleeve with a ccnjniiBion iu the regular army. There was work in those days for tlx regulars in ranking the far.far vvebt hub itable for the venturesome while man, and Sweeney's ren'ment- the Seonnd fn fautry was in the California gold fields' almost as soon ns a pick was stuck in ihi yellow earth of 1819 The regiment wa' the Colorado a oouple of years and built Fort Yumn as a stronghold ngainsi lhe Coyote and Yuma Indians, who kept he war palh constantly, oapluring unci listressing the settlers, if they did noi do worse. In Ihe summer of 1801 tin Indians got between the for t and military base at San Diego, and the gar' risim was ont iff from supplies. The uornmaiider saw i o way out but to fall hack to S iu Diego, but didu't intend to give up the fort to the redskins. Swee ny was a lieutenant iu one of the com pa uies, and with a detachment of ten men was left to hold thu fort until the mnin body aould march to San Diego and bring back help and material. The retreating garrison was followed npby Indians, and rhorlly the oountry between Yuma and Kan Diego was swarm ing .with hostile, hweenys baud war under siege from June 6 to December 6. aud would have held mil nntil pioniisen help oame or starvation or maBsaore over took them but for the timely arrival of a roroe or soldiers from a quarter unsus pected by the besiegers. A government exploring expedition under military ei Ooit happened at the time to be nt work on the Colorado river remote fiom the scene of trouble, and on giving up their sen! cine for the winter irtirid by the way of Fort Yuma, 'lhe tX hirers were well provided fur the march, aud the two par. lies united made their way tothe military posts in spite of the red skins. The exploit put Sweeny's name a peg hitiber at the war t flice, and iu 1KC1 lie was captain of his company. In April he was assigned to duly at the St. Louis Arsenal under a ninji r of Southern pro clivities. During the excilement follow ing riumter Iheseoeilera of the state tried to get possession of Ihe Arsenal aud the immense quantities of aims aud ammu nition stored there. The major resigned, leaving Captain Sweeny in charge with about forty soldiers, who were raw re cruile, to hold out against thousands of hostile cit zeus. Proposals baoked by threats, were made to the gallant soldier, and he finally told hi. persecutor i that before he would yield the post he would blow it all to atoms. The seceders concluded to wait for a more favorable turn, and meanwhile Cspt. Nathaniel Lyon reached St. Louis with reinforcements and Ihe arsenal was saved. Sweeny wss second in command to Lyon in the Camp Jackson affair and afterwaid helped organize the three mouth's volunteers and was appointed brigadier geuer.tl iu the three mouths' 8-i von. Uis brigade fought at Wilson's or-ek. and he Miooeeded L.iou in com. tnand ou the field after that hero was killed. On the expiration of his term in the militia Sweeny accepted the colonelcy , of the d2d Illinois regiment, and led it in the Douelson oampaigu. At the battle of Shilob he commanded a brigade in tba division under Wallace, which went to the relief of Sherman's ttonps on the first day. At a oritioal time Sherman oalled upon one of his colonels to take a regl. mint to nn txposed position between the fighting lines and bold it at all hazards. in order to keep Ihe confederates from seizing it The colonel hesitated BDd pleaded ignorance of the defy required until it seemed as though the opportuni ty would be lost, when Sweeny, who was standing by, sainted the gener 1 and ex- , claimed, "I understand perfectly what jon watitj let me do it." Certninly, Sweeuj ; go at onoel"said Sherman, and he afterward declared that the result was more important than any of the hundred achievements alleged to have "saved the day" at Shilou. Sher. man didn't forget the deed either. Alter the Shiloh aud Coiith cam paigns, Sweeuy received a general's star and was assigned to a division of guards and garrisons along the railroads in Western Tennessee and Northern Missis sippi. The service was the most difficult snd arduous that could fall to the lot of a soldier. Tbe region was another Shen andoah valley, peopled with zealons oon federates and a favorite stamping ground for the wild raiders led bv Forrest and others. While incursions oonld not be prevented in territory so vast and invit ing, the roads were held and travel kept open between the Union front and the North, and between the separate oamps and ,nany a desperate battle wag fought to attain that end. When the army started for Atlauta in the spring of 1864 Sweeny's division went to the ttout iu the 16ib Corps In MoPbersou's Atmy of the Tennessee. Dining tbe advance beyond Reaaca Sweeny took the lead iu Mol'hei sou's column and adroitly seized the crossing of (the Oostenanla at Lay's Ferry iu the presence of a powerful body of confeder ates, and held it nntil bridges were pnt lown and the nrmy safely across on tbe flank of the retiealing euemy. Iu two jeaiB of campaigning General Swe.-uey had pioved that he was a capa ble oommimder as well as a fighting hero.
