Chicago's
Population.
There is probably no city of importance in the world that can show
such rapid and wonderful growth as Chicago since its destruction by
fire. To-day its population is about 1,200 coo. Mr. Peter Van Schaack,
one of the leading merchants of that city said in conversation, that a
large number of his personal friends, as well as scores of representative
men throughout the Northwest with whom he bad conversed upon the
subject, had found St. Jacobs Oil a pain-curing and healing remedy cf
the most extraordinary efficacy. It is the Great Remedy for Rheuma
tism, Neuralgia, Sciatica, Backache, Bruises. Burns, Swellings etc.

CHAPTER XXIII.
Be rises to his feet.
Thore are times when the tiger is off
his guard.
There is never an hour when the In
dian of tho plains is free f rom suspicion.
In his waking hours each rock or tree or
hillock may conceal an enemy. When
he sleeps it is to waken at tho croak of
a frog or the chirp of a cricket, sus
picious that the Bounds were made by
enemies closing in upon him.
The Indian is a hypocrite and a dis
sembler. If he suspects that an enemy
is hidden In it strong position ho will
pass it carelessly by to return by stealth
and wait and watch.
Three or four days had passed since
tho Indian band disappeared down tho
Talley, and it had seemingly gono away
satisfied that the train had escaped.
But the warriors were not satislied.
They were mystified, but not satisfied.
They had returned to play hypocrite and
dissembler. They had gone into camp
as part of the plan. They had waited
for night as another part of it.
W liite men would hare advanced in a
body toward tho month of the canyon,
or si least sent skirmishers forward to
investigate. The Indian is a human
cat. He treeps upon his prey ho wins
by running and stealth.
"Tell Joe to come down hero!" whis
pered the captain to the man at his side
afu-r watching the seeming figure a few
minutes longer.
The man quietly disappeared, and Joe
was at the captain's elbow.
"Do you see anything on tho ground
in line with my linger and perhaps two
hundred feet away?" asked the captain.
"1 do," replied Joe after a minuto.
"An Indian is creeping along to turn
the end of the barricade and coma into
the canyon!"
"Sure?"
"I'll stake my life on it!"
Word was passed for every man to
fall back to tho wagon, and after a brief
consultation between the captuin und
Joe one took position to tho right and
the other to the left of the entrance, but :
Dfty feet back. If the Indian tcont .
penetrated thu i far ho must paG3 bo-1
tween them, and his retreat would be
cut off.
Now came a silence so profound that
it was positively painful. Tho grimncss
of midnight in u city is broken by foot
steps the barking of dogs the whistlo
of a locomotive. On the open plains tho
chirp of crickets never ceases while
darkness lus.s, anil tht;t very kound has
kept lost men ami women from going
crazv under the meat menial struin.

go d forming land, and the balance A 1 pasture. The deeded land lias a

1 ne Bouna connected tnem witn civili
zation and safety.
But in the grim and gloomy canyon
there was no sound. Tho horses, which
bud been led to the extreme end, peered
about them and shivered with fear. The
men lying down about the wagon felt a
weight upon them. If there were crick
ets in tho grass they were 6ilcnt.
If man wants to find a greater punish
ment for criminals than the dark cells
of state prisons, let him turn to the can
yon. No prisoner chained to a rock in
the gloom and silence and darkness
would keep his mind a week. The very
silence would torture him until he would
cry out to heaven for mercy, and the
sound of his own voice would terrify
him to insanity.
The captain and Joe had not been de
ceived. It was an Indian creeping to
ward the mouth of the canyon.
Creep! Creep! Creep!
So a tiger creeps up to within striking
distance of a man. So a cut creeps to
within striking distance of a bird. The
sharpest ear could detect no sound. The
shadows of evening could not have crept
more noiselessly.
Now the human cat has reached the
end. of .the barricade. Now lye turns
into the mouth of the canyon. Now he
advances up the center. It is so dark
in the rift that he cannot see his hand
when hold at arm's length. Instinct
guitles him. A rock lies in his path. He
knows this before he sees it. Ho creeps
up and carefully passes his hand over
it. If the white laeu came in there with
their wagons they might have moved
the stone.
No, they did not. He creeps to an
other end another. They have not been
disturbed. He sniffs at the air. If there
was tho least lire ho would discover it.
Ho lies with hi.t ear to tho ground. The
o.ump or a norse uaif a mile away wouttl
have been detected.
Creep! Creep! Creep!
Now he is within sixty feot of the
wngonSi now it is fifty, now forty. Tito
slightest cough a sleeper's change of
position, a woman's Bighing as sho
dreamed would roach his ear. He
heard nothing. Not a stone has been
disturbed not a wheel print can he
find as he passes. For ten long min
utes tho red man listens with ears
strained to catch the slightest B0U.id.
Cilcnce nothing but silence.
Now he is satisfied. He rises to his
feet and walks back to the barricade,
turns to the left and holds straight for
tho camp on the opposite sido without a
pause. Ho is satislied at last. He finds
every warrior awalte and alert for an
alarm. I.i a few words he makes his
report to tho chief, and in ten minutes
moro the band is flitting down the valley
so quietly that their departure is not
1 suspected.
Morning comes and the men in the
canyon nro filled with astonishment and
satisfaction. They could not know
what tho scout would report, and not an
eyo had closed in Bleep during the night.
"Now for breakfast and then we will
bo off," said the captain after satisfying
himself that the enemy had departed.
An hour later every wagon was ready
to movo and tho train passed down the
valley a couple of miles, crossed over
into tho smaller valley in which Taylor
had encamped the day ho was driven
out, and I leave them for a time, as
they push ahead to find a route through
the foothills to the plains.
CHAPTER XXIV.
Three days after discovering the cave
of gold tho outlaw band was ready to
break camp and head for civilization.
The contents of the cave had been
weighed and estimated, and the Hum in
dollars and cents was beyond their wild
est expectations. The precious metal
was stored in tho bottom of the wagon
and every one felt exultant and good
nattired.
Every man but Taylor. He cou'd not
fail to notice that ho was regarded as an
interloper. From tho hour of finding
the cavo the renegades made every ef
fort to render his position bo disagree
able that ho would tako his departure,
but he refused to go. Ho was a deter
mined und persistent man, and had they
known him lietter they would huve held
him in fear instead of contempt. lie
had smothered his anger and uffected
not to hear the remarks flung out for his
benefit, and lie had worked as hard as
any 0110 in bringing down und storing
away the gold.
On the evening before they were to
leave Taylor determined to settle mat
ters one way or the other, und he took
opportunity to ask:
"Has it been decided yet which route
w are to taker'
"Certainly," replied liob.
"Which is it?"
"Look yere, stranger," exclaimed
Bob, as ho fired up, "has any of this
crowd axed fur your advice?"
"I haven't pretended to advise. As
one of the party, and as having a fifth
interest in tho treasure, I am naturally
interested in knowing which route we
r; to travel by."
"Whar did you git an interest in this
gold?" demanded Bob.
"As one of the discoverers."
"Humph! Look yere, stranger, you
want to go slowl Yon forced yourself
into this crowd, and it's for us to Bay
whether you stay or go. We don't want
to turn a man out here to lose his ha'r,
bnt if he talks too sassy he'll hev to go.
When we get out o' this we may feel
liko remembering you fur the little
you've done, and wo may not. We
make no promises. Understand, how
ever, that you have no claims on the
treasure not the slightest."
Taylor ground his teeth in rage. He
had staked all and was likely to lose till.
Tho thought maddened him, and had he
not been a cool and calculating villain
he would have forced a climax then and
there, which must havo cost him his
life. He maintained silence for a few
minutes, und then said:
"Well, boys, I meant no harm, and I
hope no one has any hard feelings.
You'd have found the cave without me,
of course, and you own the team. I'm
satisfied you will do the fair thing by
me when we get through, and so let's
say no more about it."
"That's sensible," replied Bob, and
the matter was dropped.
Taylor wandered away from the camp
a short distance, apparently to gather
firewood, but really to give vent to his
feelings by communing with himself.
"The fools!" be hissed when tvsafe dis
tance away. "Not one of them will ever
leave tho plains except that sotno one car
ries hiB dead body away! They don't
know me. They think I'm a cur to bo
kicked or petted ut pleasure, but they
are trifling with a demon. They think
to beat me out of my sharo, but I'll take
all every ounce!"
And us soon as he hud left the fire the
outlaws drow closer together and Bob
said:
"We'd better shoot him tonight as he
sleeps. He's bound to trouble us."
"No wait," replied 0110 of the others.
"We've got a long pull before us, with
plenty of redskins in the way. He's
plucky and u good shot. When we don't
need him any longer somebody's rifle
cuii go off by accident and we'll leave
his bones for the wolves to pick."
It was settled that way, und when
Taylor returned euch of tho men had a
word forhiiu, as if to show they held no
grudge.
The night passed without alarm, and
at the first sign of day all were up and
making ready fora start. Whena hasty
breakfast had been eaten and the team
hitched up Taylor leumed for the first.

They had canvassed the matter and con
cluded that this 'outo would be safest.
The iupour of gold seekers was more
from the west, and the Indians would
naturally gather on that frontier. And
by following th Cheyenne river they
would be sure of wood, water and grass
tho entire journey.
Once started, the outlaws were for
pushing ahead at a rapid pace, and by
noon they had cleared the foothills and
were on the open plains. During the
day each one of the four made a special
effort to be pleasant to Taylor, but h
was not to be hoodwinked by their hy

la camp, and he was satisfied that he
was to be counted on.t. He felt, too,
that they were hatching some plan to
get rid of him before the journey was

they writhe and thirst and scream out in
their aifony, and before they are dead
they shall see me drive off with the
treasure."
