ABSOUUTELY PURE
fWnfiCTSTi iS2, BY Awikkan
"You uns is a gentleman, am I air poor
wMU trash."
Trie change of route was unfortunate,
Inasmuch as it would add another day
to tho journey. The departure from the
Fain jresidence had been delayed by the
preparations till nearly noon. Mclliun
ville was a considerable distance over
the mountains, and Mark knew they
could not reach it that night. He re
membered that they would soon pass
the Slacks', and it occurred trjhim that
it wonl(4 be a capital place tdr pass the
night, giving thtSTa good fyot twelve
hours light on the morros to pursne
their jeurney. His disap7---.ntinent at
the delay was compensated for by the
thought that he would likely learn
something of Soui- and Jakey, of whom
he had heard nothing since he left them
1ijlb Chattanooga jail.
.' Ma
ark told Laura of his plan. She was
distressed at the delay. Something
seemed to tell her that it would bring
trouble. But Mark's reasoning was un
answerable, and there seemed nothing
else to do. If they must spend a night
anywhere it would better be among
those upon whom Mark could rely.
At last they drove up at the Slacks'
gate. Mark handed the reins to Laura
and jumped from the phaeton impatient
ly. Not seeing any one in the front of
the house he proceeded to the rear. The
first person he met was Jakey. He took
the boy up and hugged him.
"Are you glad to see your big brother,
Jakey?"
"Air th' corn ripe?"
Souri came out of the house, her big
yes glistening and her expressive face
radiant with pleasure and excitement.
She had heard nothing of Mark since he
left her in prison. Mark seized her by
both bands.
"You uns air safe. : I knowed it," she
aid, almost in a whisper. She could
hardly speak for joy.
For the present, Souri, thanks to
you.
Mark asked no questions then. Lie
knew that they were safe and at home,
and he hastened to inform them and the
father and mother who came out to wel
come him that he was with a party who
was unaware of his truecharacter, which
they must not betray, and desired per
mission to stay in the house over night.
Then he led them around to the gate.
Daniel had meanwhile caught nn, and i
the two vehicles were halted in the road.

good people," said Mark. "They are , "All right, Jakey. Keep it to remem
ouite willing, and will make us as com-: ber me by."
fortable as possible."
The party alighted and the horses were
driven to the barn. Mrs. Fain and her
daughter were given the room in which
Mark had changed his clothes when he 1
went through to the south, and Mark was !
assigned a bivouac oh the gallery, or in i
the barn, or any other place he might se
lect.
An apology tor a meai was camea in
to Mrs. Fain and Laura, which they left
nntasted, preferring a luncheon they had
brought with them in a basket. After
supper Laura came out and begged Mark
to bring Souri and Jakey to speak to her.
She smoothed Jakey'B tumbled hair out
of his eyes and asked him if he remem
bered her. Jakey was about to reply in
his usual fashion when he checked him
self, and for the first time since Mark
had known him answered directly.
Souri stood eying Laura from the cor
ners of her black eyes with a mingled
expression of admiration and antago
nism. Laura spoke to her kindly, but
got only monosyllables in reply.
Mark passed the evening with th
Black family listening to a recital of
Bouri'a and Jakey 's experience after he
had left them in the jail at Chattanooga,
and he gave them an account of his own
adventures.
. After all were asleep that night Mark
took Farmer Slack out Into the yard,
where they could convene unheard, and
developed a. plan he bad conceived for
Sonri nd Jakey.
Latest U. S. Gov't Report.
FRtSS A&S'n,
"It is due to your son and daughter,"
he said, "that I am here at this moment,
Indeed that I am alive. I belong to a
wealthy family and am wealthy myself.
It only requires means to make a splen
did woman of the girl and a fine man of
the boy, for means will produce educa
tion, and education is the open door to a
desirable career. I ara going to leave
with you a letter to my father in Ohio,
which will contain an order for a suffi
cient amount of money to insure both
Jakev and Sonri an education. Take or
send them north, present the letter, and
you will find everything provided for
you. Souri may not consent at once,
but doubtless she will in time. Now I
must have pen and paper."
You uns is a good mi, stranger. Y
treat us far. Hadn't you better send the
letter when y' git no'th?"
"No. I must write it tonight. I am
by no means safe; my ueuk is still in a
halter,
The man led the way to his bedroom,
where the old woman was sleeping.
There he produced writing materials,
and Mark wrote an order which, whether
he lived or not, insured the future of his
two friends, his preservers among the
"poor white trash" of Tennessee.
The night was passed with Bnatcbes of
sleep by all the party. In the morning,
aftor the pork and corn bread meal of
the country, the travelers again got
into the carriages. While they were
standing before the gate prior to de
parture Mark saw Souri out by the well
house. He went there to bid her good
by. "Souri," he said, "I wish there was
some way in which I could show you
the gratitude I feel toward you. When
I think of my fate, had you not appeared
in the nick of time to save me by your
wit and daring and sacrifice, I feel that
I would like to make some correspond
ing sacrifice for you."
"Laws, I didn't do nothen. Besides"
she leaned over the well and looked
down into its depths "you uns and me
is too differ. Yon uns is a gentleman,
and I air poor white trash."
There was an inexpressible melan
choly in her tone.
"Souri," Mark went on, "1 have made
an arrangement with your father to
make a lady of you. I can't make such
s sacrifice for you as you have made for
me; that is impossible; but I can 9' uis
if you will act with me and cons to
the plan. I shall be off in a monl .nt,
and before I go I want you to promise
me that you will consent. 1 am still in
danger, and you must grant me this as
perhaps a last favor."
The girl burst into tears.
"Promise."
"I don't keer what I do."
"Do you promise'''
"Yas, I promise."
With a pressure of the hand he turned
away, and stalking to the gate got into
the carriage beside Laura. Daniel and
Mrs. Fain had started. Mark followed,
and had gone but a short distance when
be heard Jakey calling to him. He
pulled In the pony and waited for the
boy to come up. Jakey was holding
something out to him, which, as he drew
nearer, Mark recognized as the red silk
handkerchief.
! "Souri sent it ter y"
"Tell her that 1 11 never part with it,
1 " 'N I got the squirrel gun," said the
I ,
k Mark grasped the boy's hand and then
drove on. Laura Fain leaned back on
the cushions in silence.
CHAPTER XIX.
THOMAS ORF.KIf AND WIFB.
aiara: aesigneu Driving to Anuerson,
- f,jm6 twelve miles from the Slacks'
j house, whence he knew there was a road
leading up in the mountains through a
place called Altamont, Borae twenty
miles farther, to McMinnville. He was
Informed by people he met on the road
that Altamont had been recently occu-
fiied in force by the Union troops. With
uck they might reach the Union lines,
which would donbtless extend several
miles from Altamont, that afternoon.
"Within six hours," said Mark, "1
shall either be safe among Union sol
diers or on my way back to Chatta
nooga." Laura shuddered, but said nothing.
Mark found a very different condition
of affairs at Anderson from what he had
found along the road. The Confeder
ates had some cavalry force there and
more at Dunlap, five miles north. On
the road he heard that General Bragg
was at Dunlap, but with no troops save
cavalry.
"I see it all," said the spy to himelf.
"The wily fox is confronting our forces
with a handful of cavalry, while the
two divisions of Cheatham and Withers
are marching north behind him, and the
main force has none, to EnoxvUle by
rail on a line still farther east. Ko
wonder our generals are puzzled and
watching a line from Battle creek to
Cumberland gap. If the Lord will only
let me get through to carry this infor
mation, I'll never ask to lire to go on
another such expedition."
The party were stopped near Ander
son by a picket. Mrs. Fain produced
her pass and stated that the two behind
were in her company. The officer took
no especial care in reading it, and when
Mark and Laura came np they got safely
through without question.
Murk was now anxious about the
picket which must be passed in a few
minutes on the road leading west from
Anderson. Mrs. Fain was still ahead,
and he hoped that all would go as well
as at the picket just passed. Not a
word was spoken between him and
L&uru; both dreaded getting out of An
derson, but once past the next picket they
would breathe easier.
When they reached it Mrs. Fain had
been passed through and gone on. The
officer in command, however, had read
the pass carefully. He had not noticed
any mention of Mark 111 it.
"Where s your pass? he asked.
"Didn't the lady ahead show it to
you?" asked Mark.
"Her pass uiun t include you.
"Didn't it?" Mark feigned surprise.
"No."
"Oh, 1 forgot; mine and my wife's is
leparate," and he drew out the pass of
"Thomas Green and wife."
Meanwhile Laura had turned white as
a cloth. The officer road the pass, and
would doubtltws have let them go had
he not noticed Laura's agitation.
"You'll have to go back to headquar
ters md get Major Taliaferro's ordor on
that. He commands at Anderson."
Mark remonstrated. He argued that
he would become separated from Mrs.
Fain; he urged his wife's desire to reach
her sick father. All in vuin. He was
told that the headquarters were only
half a mile down the road and he would
lose but little time. He made a virtue
of necessity and drove back with appar
ent good nature.
Whon he reached the house that was
pointed out to him as headquarters, he
left Laura in the phaeton and went in
side. The commanding officer had gone
to Dunlap, five miles away, to pay his
respects to General Bragg, and would
not be back for an hour or two.
Mark resolved to report, his absence to
the officer of the picket post, in the hope
that he would not be compelled to wait.
He drove to the picket and used his
tongue persuasively, but to no purpose.
Tho more anxious he seemed the more
resolved grew the captain.
There seemed to be nothing to do but
return and await the arrival of the com
manding officer. Mark reluctantly
turned the horse's head and drove back
to headquarters. TLn'ira's heart sankll
within her.
It was sunset when Major Taliaferro,
a pleasant looking man of twenty-seven
or twenty-eight, rode up to the door,
and turning his horse over to an orderly
entered the offlce.
"Major Taliaferro?" aidted Mark.
"At your service, sir."
"Major, I have been detained by the
officer at the picket, who wants your
name on my pass. Alywite s mother j
has gone on, and her daughter is very
anxious to join her. It is extremely un
fortunate for us to get fio far separated
from Mrs. Fain."
"Fain, of the Fains of Chattanooga?"
"The same."
"I have heard of tho family, but have
never had the pleasure of meeting any
member of it. One of my friends is en
gaged to Miss Fain. I have just parted
from him at Dunlap.
Mark and Laura cunt a quick glance
at each other a gluuco of terror on the
part of Laura.
We are f ortnnato in railing into your
hands," said Mark, and I beg you will
not delay us a moment." And Murk
handed him the pass.
Certainly not. And the major took
up a pen to write his indorsement. First
he read the pass carefully. He was
thinking of what his friend Fitz Hugh
had told him of the Fains. IIu was
under tho impression that there was but
one daughter.
"Mr. Green," he said, looking npfrom
the pass, "hadn't you belter stay here
over night? The road is mountainous
and infested by gnrerillus. It is positive
ly dangerous to travel."
"By no means. What would Mrs.
Fain think of -or not joining her on tho
road?"
"It is dangerous for her as well as yon.
I'll Bend a messenger after her and ad
vise her stopping at some furmhouse'
I'll do better than that. I'll send a cor
poral and half a dozen men to insure
her safety till morning."

What The Dalle. Chronicle Find. Over In
The John Day Section A Country of
Wonderful Fossil.
From The Dalles Chronicle.
Imagine yourself in u very ancient lake
bed; hnw old none but the Great Maker
can tell. Go down into one of thoee gi
g'lutio crevices, of which the Johu Day
river itself is one, and its tributaries are
itliers. These great olmsms have been
cut down by countless ages of oouetnnt
erosion through the overlying basaltic
rock and into these most remarkable of
ancient mudbeds, now also hardened iuto
rock, nnd eontntoiug these strange relics
of lite in the niyaleiious past, when man
wus unknown.
These beds are found in many pluoea
to be several hundred feet in thickness,
and are worn and gullied by the oonstant
washing of ruins and meltiug snows into
the most fantastic groups of beautiful
coloring, from red, green, yellow and blue
to pure white, and from top to bottom
ooutaining the remains ot hundreds of
mammals, fishes and plants. The niani
m ills are here represented in various
forms, from the tiny mouse to the most
gigautio beasts of ancient America.
. A most interesting feature of this great
group of tertiary beds is the vast number
of species found here. Also many new
genii have been found here; thut is.mnny
remains have beeu lunud of animals that
were entirely new to soienoo. This
group is now known the world over as
the John Dny group, beoause it is iden
tified with no other group in the world,
us far as known. In these great tombs
of lost races lie the remains of vast herds
of Btrange beasts, preserved here from
the darkness of the past to excite the
wondet of man. Here is found the tiny
horse, no larger thun a merino sheep,
perfectly developed and of authentic age,
as his teeth can prove. Also great herds
of onmels, elephants and rhinoooros, of
queer types, roamed this region. There
were also gigantic beasts of prey. Lions
are found here that would put the larg
est African king of beasts to shame. Also
tigers of immense size. Not less than 12
distinct species, great and small, of the
tnpir-like animal nnmed by scientists the
oreodon lie buried here. Many very fine
specimens of this animal have been found.
The feline ruoe is woll represented by
many fiue specimens ot various BpeaieH.
Dogs of many kinds once howled in this
awful wilderness, no loss thun 10 distinct
species of this animal being found in a
single summei' ,e great entelodon, a
monster hog jere in great numbers.
Imagine to .itinrself a ginut hog, Hsarge
as an elephant, with tusks 12 inches long
protruding from his ponderous jaws,
orashiug through these anoieut jungles.
He must, iudeed, have been mnnaroh of
the wilds. The writer of this quarried
the complete and perfuot skull of one of
these from thG John Day river many
ears since, which has long been in Yale
college museum.
What a pity that a great state like Ore
gon should not have long aince had a
place where all of these wonders could
be preserved. Why oould not our legis
lature establish a museum? It ib not
yet too late, although it would take many
years of careful collecting to gather such
specimens as have ulrendy beeu scattered
throughout the various Eastern muse
ums, and forever lost to our stnte. Mv
ndividuul collections since 1K74 have
ainonnted to many tons of eplendid fos
sils, the like of which iH to be bud in no
other part of the world. My collections
are in Yale college museum, I'rinocton
museum, Philadelphia Aoademy nf Sci
ences and the National mnseura at Wash-
ngton. Why is it that Oregon has no
place for these things? What a collec
tion could be made for a stato museum.
Would it not be nice to show visitors
from the East uud from foreign lands?
We would then have a place where could
be kept in perpetual view all the re-
onroes of the present great stuto, as well
us relics of the pi.st. Other states have
geologists, with stated salaries, nnd some
have state mineralogistH. What is the
matter with Oregon? She is behind no
state iu the world in resources.
