CHAPTER XVIL
From the same direction taken by
Taylor, but evidently coming out of a
narrow valley bearing off to the left, ap
peared a white man with a gun on his
shoulder, r He was in view when half a
mile from camp, suid long before he
reached it all the men were watching
his approach.
He W80 one of the four renegades, and
this was. ie visit Harkins had heard
them plotting to make. The captain,
Harkins and Joe knew this, but none of
the others knew that the girl Lizzie was
in eamp, she naving kept herself secret
ed in the wagon.
" The man continued to advance at a
leisurely pace, and by and by he was
Bear enough to the group to call out:
"TT7io are ynut"
"Howdy, stranKors! 1 reckon I kin
come in, being as 1 aiu't a hostile In
dian." The captain returned his salutation,
and the renegade enme to a halt in the
camp, looked keenly around him and
continued:
Come after gold, I reckon, and from
the looks o' things you've been fooling
away your time fur a hull week. In
course you was green and didn't know
or yon wouldn't hev stopped here two
hours.
"What's the matter of this place?"
queried the captain.
"Nuthin, so fur's grass and water
goes, but if you want gold you must go
whar it is. Leastwise, the rest of ns
hev had to."
"And where is thatr
"A matter of twelve miles up the val
ley. Thar's plenty np thar to be had
fnr the digging, and only a small party
has got onto it yet. Never saw such
richness afore. 1 believe ye kin almost
load one o' them wagons in a month."
There, were murmurs of admiration
and exclamations of astonishment from
the men.
"1 belong to the party up thar," con
tinned the stranger, "hut 1 don't go
much on digging out the stuff. Rather
be moving around, you know. 1 kin
guarantee that the boys will welcome ye
if ye want to come. Thar's enough fur
all."
"It is very generous indeed of you,"
replied the captain. "We came for
gold, and of course we must take advan
tage of your offer."
"Aye! that we must," shouted the
men.
"What brought me ont this morning,
at least this way," observed the man as

to run away, imagining that the reds
were arter her scalp, tihe got off last
night and might hev cum this way."
"That's awful!" sighed Harkins. "I've
got a gal of my own down in the wagon
there, and I'd rather see her dead than
crazy." -
"The wolves would be likely to pull
ber down last night," mused Joe. "Two
or three big fellows were around camp
just before daylight."
"So ye've got 81 o' your ownr
queried the man of Harkins in tones
which betrayed doubt.
"Oh. Bess!" called the latter in reply,
and the girl put her head out of the
wagon and asked what waa wanted.
"Waal. I'll hev to look further." suid

tue renegade as ue turned away, "roor

ye be ready to move up the valley to the
gold tieldsy"
Today perhaps, answered the cap
tain.
"Better not lose any time, as thar will
be a rush in yere from all directions.
So long to ye."
When he had cleared the camp Har
kins told his story and the man's object
was made plain. Harkins did not keep
buck the secret of the cave, but told it
just as be had received it and suggested
that in case the contents could he found
there should be an equal division.
"They want us to move up the valley
in order to let tbem out," explained the
captain. "Therefore our plan will be to
remain where we are until we know
what there is in the story. They haven't
found the cave yet and there is a chance
of our coming in first. We shall cer
tainly do some looking for it. We'll let
that chap get well out of sight and then
go on a still bunt."
Two hours later the captain, Harkins
and a man named Andrews set out in
company under the guidance o? tlje sec
ond to seek the canyon and the cave.
While they are searching let us see
what befell Taylor, who had made a
temporary camp in the small valley.
W hen be came to think it over he
condemned himself for having acted so
rashly. He was now alone and outlaw
ed. Should be succeed in finding the
gold how was he to bring it away? He
was and would be in constant danger
from the Indians, and if given a team
and the gold loaded up for him there
was not one chance in a hundred of bis
driving safely back to civilization.
While he coveted all he realized thut he
must be content with a share in order to
get any at all.
"If 1 should go back and tell 'em of
the cave it would make em feel all
right," he soliloquized as he looked up
at the rugged sides of the valley.
"Fool! fool!" he exclaimed after
moment; "hasn't Harkins already told
them of ii as the reason w by 1 sought
his life? All know it and all will divide
and leave me out in the coldl I'm the
biggest fool on earth!"
"1 quite agree with ye!" said a voice
not five feet away, and Taylor sprang
up to find the nenegade who had visited
the camp below standing almost over
him.
"Saw yor hosses' tracks leadinin yere,
ye know," said the renegade in expla
nation. "Rather curus to find a white
man prowling around alone in this ken
try. Yer scalp must be nailed on or ye
wouldn t chance it this way.
"Who are you? asked Taylor as soon
as he had recovered from his surprise.
"The saise question to ye, and what
is it about a cave of gold and dividing
up?"
Here was help. If the man belonged
to a party the gold might yet be se
cured. He was a hard looking customer
one who would not scruple at any
thing. "Sit; down," said Taylor as he made
himself comfortable. "1 came here with
a party camped two or three miles be
low. They came to prospect for gold,
but 1 came to look for a cave already
filled with it. They sort o' suspected
me, and because I wouldn't divide they
drove me out of camp this morning."
"Whar did ye hear of that cave?"
"From an old hunter named Saun
ders." " Who used to chum with a pard named
Bridgers?"
"Exactly."
"Waal, I'm yere fur the same pur
pose. What I got was secondhand from
old Bridgers, but it looks straight 'nuff.
There's four of us in the party and
we've got ridin horses and a team."
"That's the checker!" eiclaimed Tay;
lor as he brought his list down on the
grass. "1 want to join you.
"And ye know just whar that cave is?"
"1 believe I can walk to it in the
night."
"Suppose we should hev a row with
the people camped below?"
"I'll do my share of shooting. There's
two or three of 'em who will get a bul
let the first time I have a chance to cov
er 'em."
"Come on. I guess the boys will take
ye in under the sarcumstances. Haven't
seen nuthin of a gal wanderin around
yere, 1 Buppose?"
"ISO.
"Waal, saddle up."
An hour later Taylor was in the camp
of the outlaws. When the men learned
that he had been driven out of the camp
below and that he had received minute
particulars regarding the locality of the
cave of gold they extended liim a warm
welcome.
"Whar do ye make it out to be?'
asked Hob, tlie leader.
"Five miles the other side of the
wagon train."
"No!"
"That's what the hunter said five
miles trt the left of the peak."
"And this is'i't the canyon?"
"It can't be. It's below that camp.
I'll stake my life ou it."
"Then, doggone it. we've bin wrong
all the time. We located this as the
place. If it's below the camp then we
don't keer a button whether they move
or not, though they'll likely be going np
the valley today. We'd better hitch np
and be Koititf."

"THE OUTLAWS' STAMFG GROUND.'
A gentleman who is familiar with the
stamping grounds of the Koslyn bauk
robbers, and who whs at The Dulles when
be robbers were brought iu (here, re
marked, last eveuing that the people in
ti.Ht station of the ooiinlry, wnile per
fectly certain (hat the right mn hae
been oaptured. are equally certain that
they cau never be oouviotedof tbeorime.
Ihe oouutry aiirroiiuding Antelope, he
said, "is strictly grilling land. The
stookmen there are all well-to-do, but
bnve been looked upon for some time
with susiiiciou, and any one who lost a
buuoh of sheep, oatlle or horses iu the
surrounding country never thought of
going within the borders of the oonnty
to look for them. Iu fact, many of the
sbeepmen iu the onuuty have been look
ed upon hs 'fenoee,' and it was not con
sidered safe to prowl around tbsir randi
es in settrcb of lost stuck. Tbe captured
men belong to this oIhbb, and have hosts
of friends all through the eastern part ol
the state, who now Btand ready to prove
as mauy alibis as are neoesBary to clear
them. While at The Dalles I learned
that tbe Ztcbary buys are brothers-iu-law
of a state senator, and tht the rest
are also well connected, so that if money
alone is required to olear them buy
amouut of it cau easily be found. Bui
their defense will undoubtedly be in prov
ing a oomplele alibi, and, unless there
are spies in their crowd, which is improb
able, they will soon be set free. There
is nothing in the faot that the men were
traced by tbe brands on the horses whiob
they rode, for it is apparent, on the face
of it, that men who would rob a bauk in
broad daylight would uot hesitate to bor
row some horses for use upon tbe ooos-
aion. Uomlle reservation, where the last
two men were naught, is about 100 miles
from the borne of tbe robbers. It is a
wild aud roughennutry, and would make
a splendid rendezvous for robbers."

The arrest of two or three men oharged
with crime is iusufUoient evidence upon
whioh to judge a whole cominunit.
l'here can be seen some palpable excuse
on the part of detectives who partly foi
gaiu aud partly for notoriety, make ar
rests, but there oau be no excuse for this
Usgraut outrage ou tbe part of tbe journ
alist. It would be just as fair to judge
tbe people of Portland by the aot of Wil
son, Burdette Wolfe or some other scal
awag. If the evidence claimed, is actually in
the possession of the authorities, the men
arrested are on slippery ground for it is
openly oharged that at least two of them
are brothers in-law of a state senator.
1'bat is certainly incriminating. Mo well

connected with a state senator or even a
politician of any stripe.

TUB PKKSIUENT1AL ELECTION.
From the Economist.
The campaign is finished and tbe re
sult of the election is tbe national suo
eess of tbe democratic party, with its
free trade platform. Does that result
show tbe protection Cause lost, or tbe
efforts in its behalf futile? Not at all,
and thia result need not be held surpris
ing. In 1890 name the great landslide to
ward demuorney and tariff for revenue
only free trade thinly veiled. Tbe elec
tion this year sbos a gin in tbe popu
lar vote fur protection, a gain in repub
lican members of congress, but not gain
enough to overtop Ihe canvas of two
years ago. We are going up, not down.
The oouutry vote is for republican pro
tection, but the oity vote for demoorntio
free trade uveraomes it. In New York
snd (Jhioagu this is especially mnuitest.
Ihe vote of 'he country is more thought
ful and intelligent than that ut the oity.
Iu New York city for instance, wbiie we
have able aud tboughltul men, the orowd
that shouts for tammuny is far less
thoughtful than the farmers and mechan
ics aud others in town aud country. As
for protection being a "lost oause," that
is impossible. It a home market for
borne industry, if the upbuilding in our
midst of varied ocoupatious farm and
mill, forest aud mine near enoh other, ex
changing easily, aud all developing home
resources and internal wealth be the
wise aud true omul uot of affairs, they
o oi not be lost. The protective polioy
is on the gain iu the civilized world, even
in Client Britain, uhere the worktngmen -demand
it. The eleation may cheok it
here, but only for a time.
The democratic unny in tbe ascend
ant will have a path hesi't by perils. Let
it "push things" toward its platform
promise of flee trade, aud it will find
great industrial enterprises, owned and
managed by men of both parties iu part
uersliip, ubo will not be willing victims
of polttioinuB, Its household will be di
vided. The solid South autooratio,
domineering, lawless, possessed by the
blindness of the old sluveooracy of w hich
it is the lingering remnant will demand
free trade. I be men of practical busi
ness and industry South and North will
ay, ' (in slow."
Let the party inaugurate its platform
policy, anil the revulsions and disasters,
the luok of employment aud lowering of
wages which would follow would sweep
it nut of power as by a wbiilwind.
Let it hesitate and tinker aud palter
over tariils, aud it will derange business,
check iudustry by its uncertainty, and
show again its iucompetnncH to frame a
schedule of customs dunes oousisteut
with any policy or fit for any practical
purpose an incompetence shown in tbe
.Morrison and Wood anil Mills jumble- of
incongruities called tariff hills, which did
not eveu gain the uuited support of the
democrats in congress in those days.
If tlie parly does not push fur free
trade people will say: "You are brave
and fair in promise, but oowardly aud
deceptive in performance. Away with
youl" All looks fair now, but storms
will rage aud lierae blasts sweep in from
every quarter when the free trade demoo
nioy begins to "lake its own medicine."
Today proteolion is defeated The
electiou of Harrison and lteid, represent
atives of its policy, with a republican
congress to sustain it would have been a
signal and beiieUaent triumph a help to
civilization and to the culture and com
fort of the people.
But that result is not reached. What
shall be done? The American Protect
ive Tariff League and its organ, t be Amer
ican Economist, will go ou with their
Work.
Our hope and expectation is that pro
tectionists, while willing to give the in
coming administration fair trial, will
watch and work, standfast to their prin
ciples aud positive in their attitude
agaiust tree trade or tariff for revenue
only.
The time to begin "the campaign of
education" is i ow, just alter tbe election.
The defeated army, conscious of its pow
er aud of the strength of its good cause,
keeps sound in besrt aud beroio m mood,
and rallies and drills for its ooming vie
tory.
