A little isolated trading-post; far as the eye could reach a stretch of rolling, green prairie, over which the soft south wind swept, and the tall grass waved like billows cf the sea. The sun was ne.tr its setting; the knot of idlers incidental to such a place were gathered about the store door; from the shambling cab ins scattered sparsely within a half mile's radius, and which with the hotel and three saloons comprised the village, came the appetizing odor of fried bacon and baked beans. Two young men riding, into the irregular space, which hardly deserved the name of a street, checked their horses before the store, the proprietor of which was also landlord over the way. "Your protegea .ilready, Frank!" said one, with a laugh. "Faith, if its only constancy, you've been wait ing for, you've been found it at last in an overdose, I should say." An Indian girl had appeared so suddenly and silently that she might have sprung out of the earth for all they saw to the contrary, and stood now, her hand upon the bridle-rein her big, lustrous eyes upon Frank Hale's face, as she waited for him to dismount. - "Say gratitude Xed, and I admit it. Never mind, Owanee; as we put up for the night our horses must be tethered out, and some one else will take them." "See here, Wanee, take mine then, and rub him down well. I'll buy you some more of that jiuketry if you will." Ned with his whip touched the rows of gay glass beeds she wore, but Owanee drew back with offend ed dignity. "Me no do it, me no touch j ours," said she, scornfully. Me see only he done," as she rnbbed her brown hand over the arched neck of Hale's steed. "Oh, well; that's what it is to bo a favorite with the sex, and you al ways were ducedly lucky in that re spect, Hale. "How do boss?" this to the shirt-sleeved proprietor as he made an urbane appearance before them. "We are back again, you see. Our party been here? "Went through yesterdaj-, kep' straight on, Mr. Ned. The cap'n left word, howsumever, providen' you come this way, that they'd strike camp in the Republican Y.'dley. I reckon now you hain't smelt a buf ler yet?" "And you reckon rightly. I wish now we had kept the trail with the rest, instead of baking a circle on our own account. Any one here who can act guide for us? Our own de serted us the last post back." "Sho' now; that's bad it is. I don't 'spose there's a feller within forty mile can take his place. The trappers is all engaged and gone from hyar; them " with .a contempt ows glance at the loafing population, "is only the wurthless do-nothins left." "Me go me good guide. What you give?" A i)lumed brave, young and stal wart, disclosed himself at the elbows of the little group, and there an nounced himself in thick guttural. "What do you say Frank!" asked Ned, carelessly. "I don't take to our copper-colored brethren as a. general thing, but this fellow may do, .as there's no one else to be had. We can't go on alone, I suppose? "We are not well enough versed in prairie lore to make that advisa ble, I fear. Is the Indian to be trust ed, Ulecker? Do you know him?" "Hang me if I've ever yet seen the Injun that I'd trust," answered Ulecker with no cordial glance at him. He's Owanee's brother, an' the two have hung about hyar off an'd on for a year, but I wouldn't sav for vou to trust any one o' the breed." Owanee's brother? that settled the matter in Hale's mind at once. If Owanee would answer for him, he should guide them to the hunting camp. The Indian received the de cision impassively as the American savage receives everything, terms were arranged, and the two friends betook themselves over the way to such rude hospitality as that far Western region would dispense. Owanee had attracted Hale's atten tion when he had been at the post some weeks before. He had rescued her from the brutal abuse of a herds man, who, angered by a refractory drove, had vented his ugly temper upon the first available object he met, and that object chanced to be the pretty young squaw. Hale never would forget the look of dumb ter ror in her eyes as he came upon the scene such a look as he had seen in those of a roe when the knife was at her throat. From that time, Owa nee had evinced such attachment to ward him as a kind master will re ceive from a faithful dog. The two young men iii company with a half-dozen others were pass ing the hunting season upon the plains. They had joined a regularly organized hunting party, but, pend ing the decisive movements of this, had made excursions on their own ac count with no very adequate com prehension of the danger they incur red through the experience of so doing. Owanee's recommendation of their guide was not to bo forthcoming it proved. "By Jove she's cut stick, slid, vam oosed!" said Ned, coming in from a quest for her before the two friends went to rest. "One wouldn't have imagined it with your attractions on the tapis, Frank, but it is a fact. 31ecker says however, that one is apt to be as good as t'other, that no Injun's word is worth shucks .a pleasing an ticipation for us you perceive. Come let's turn in, and be off by the peep of dawn, if there's a chance for over taking our friends in the course of a day or so. They were off betimes. Nowhere is equestrian exercise so invigorating or delightful as well mounted and with an indefinite reach of verdant prairie country stretching out before the fresh breeze from faraway moun tains sweeping over it so at least thought Frank .and Ned, as, at the glorious gallop which is the horse man's gait here, they dashed over the w.ay. They halted at noon on the banks of a dry stream-bed where cottonwoods grew in sparse groups. Digging into the sand they procured water for themselves and steeds; af ter dining upon dried venison, crackers and cheese, and giving the horses a reasonable time to rest .and graze, they again pushed on their way. The evening of the second day found them in a thickly-wooded well-watered country one of the na tive garden spots of the West, which for wild picturesquencss could not be well excelled. On one side bare bluffs towered hundreds of feet above the river; on the other the belt of forest gave place to open table land dotted at wide intervals by tree-islands. "But not a trace of our friends," said Frank disappiontedly. "We should be close up with them by this time surely." 'Would that red rascal dare do anything but the square thing by us, I wonder? I'd punch his figly copper-colored head if I thought so.' 'Me come up with many pale-faces when sun there,' said the Indian, pointing toward the zenith. 'Umph! That means noon to-morrow, I suppose. AH right, only see that you do it; that's all.' They were fearless, adventurous, young fellows, with clear conscien ces, and healthy bodies, and two hours afterward they wero sleeping the sleep of the just.' How long this had lasted, what time of night it had become to be. Frank had no idea when a hand clutched his shoulder. 'Wake up,' said a whispering voice in his ear. Wake quick, wake.' He started to a sitting posture and stared confusedly at the dark object bending over him, uncertain still if it were not a creature of his dreams. 'Hift! you no speak loud. Me Owanee, me follow, mo find no chance fore now to give a warning. Where lied Feather go? 'The Indian is ho not here? Ned! ho woke him with a touch. 'Now Owanee tell me what brought you.' Owanee's brother unworthy lied Neath er a traitor, he lead you into the Sioux hunting ground. There many bad warriors; take horses, t.ake scalps, burn wigwams yonder; me think lied Feather go there, no sure. That way pale face camp, make quick; me show 3-011 the way. In her broken English she told them hurriedly how lied Feather had sent her from the trading post that she might not hint the treachory of which she knew ho was capable; how she had followed, walking night and day with almost no rest; how her worst supicions had proveu true in finding that the guide had led them wrong. "The dark plumes of night pass ing, lied Feather be back with dawn, warriors too, maybe." They needed no urging. The horses wero grazing quietly where they had been tethered, a little dis tance down the stream, and dawn was already breaking rosily. That they had been left favored the Indian girl's supposition that the faithless guide had discovered some portion of his tribe near, and stolen thither to betray them. In live minutes' time they were in their saddles, but they had not turned their horses' heads before Owanee uttered a warn ing exclamation. Around the base of the bluff across the river came a score of dark mov ing shadows; on a summit overlook ing them was a single shape cut against the gray opal morning ky, out of which the'stars were paling, a shape they recognized as the faith less lied Feather. A yell rung out .at the same instant; a shower of bullets fell around them; Owanee, now in the guide's saddle, threw herself between Hale and the assailants; there was a little puff of smoke from the summit as a last shot clear of all the rest, cleft the still air. WTith a defiant shout those assailed put their horses to full speed. "There may be mounted ones after those, but they'll have a chase, that ! I'll be bound r Toward the North j did the girl say, Frank?" "Toward the North. Good heavens Owanee, are you hurt?" He caught the sinking form as she wavered in her teat, reining in his COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, mTTtTr-DCTTV OT" n K T TTTTVRMT A horse with one hand sharply. Her eyes were on his face, the fondness of a dumb brute in them. "Me killed," she said, gaspingly; "you fly; no mind Owanee. You safe me go--happv." "Do you hear that, Frank? Those painted devils are after us close. Is she dead? poor girl, poor Whaneel. I vow I'm sorry for it, but come we have no time to loose. Hale let the still form drop gently to the ground he could do nothing else with their pursuers so near a painful swelling grief in his heart, such as no woman before had ever caused him. At noon that day the two young men rode into the hunting camp and were welcomed by the general accla mations of their friends. A little later Ned recounted their adventure. "We gave them their fire back when they came within range the last time, and I saw that wretch, lied Feather bito the dust. They made chase for a time, but gave it up; worn't certain of their ground, afraid of falling in with a lot of 3'ou, I siq pose." "Blast their painted picters, they're the treachercst varmints on the face of the airth, every one of 'em" said an old trapper. "Oiie was not," said Hale, turning hastily away. But, after all, Owanee had been Indian in heart, but like any woman loving as she did, had only given her life for htm. A Thousand Boys Y:iiitcnl. We find in the New York Observer the following admirable suggestions to our youth, so many thousands of whom are 'aitiug for remunerative employment: There are always boys in the mar ket, but some of them are of little use. The kind that are always want ed are 1. Honest. 2. Pure. 3. Intelligent. 4. Active. 5. Industrious. C. 7' 8. .). 10. Obedient. Steady. Obliging. Polite. Neat. One thousand first-rate places are open for a thousand boys who come up to this reasonable standard. Each boy can suit his taste as to the kind of business ho would pi-e-fer. The places are ready in every kind of occupation. Many of these places of trade and art are already filled hy boys who lack some of the most important points, but they will soon be vacant. One has an ollico where the lad who has the situation is losing his first point, lie likes to attend the singing saloon and the theater. This costs more money than he can afford, but some how he manages to be there frequently. His employers are quietly watch ing how he gets so much spending niouey; they will soon discover a leak in the money drawer, detect the dishonest boy, and his place will be ready for some one who is now get ting ready for it by observing point No. 1, and being truthful in all his ways. Some situations will soon be va cant because the boys have been poisoned by reading bad books, such as they would not dare show their fa thers, "and would be ashamed to have their mothers see. The impure thoughts suggested by these boys will lead to vicious acts; the boys will be ruined, and their places must be filled. Who will be ready for one of these vacancies? Distinguished lawyers, useful min isters, skillful physicians, succesful merchants, must all soon leave their places for somebody else to fill. One by oiiii they are removed y death. 'Mind your ten points, boys; they will prepare you to step into vacan cies in the front rank. Every man who is worthy to employ a boy is looking for you if you have these points. Do not fear that you will be over looked. A young person having these qual ities Vill shine as plainly as a star at night. We have named ten points to go to ward making up the character of a successful boy, so that they can be very easily remembered. You can imagine one on each linger, and so keep them in mind; they will be worth more than diamond rings, and you will never be ashamed to show vour hand." A Cab foi: Swr.Anr:r:s. The ever humorous and ever-intrusive Bishop Clark suggests, in his article on trav elers, that a .special car should be set apart for swearers. That would bo an excellent plan if it would work; but we apprehend that on some rail roadsmanaged as they are at pres ent every car in the train is, inevit ably, converted more or less into a swearing car. But we hope the world will improve under the salutary in fluence of Bishop Clark's teachings, and that soon one car in the very longest train will be sufficient for all the swearers. The true rule, how ever, is laid down by Gen. Washing ton, that a gcu'Jcmnti never swears; and the higher authority of the New Testament teaches us: "Swear not at all;" but if people will swear, it is certainly desirable to have them plac ed by themselves; and, therefore, Bishop Clark's suggestion is not only a novel but a good one. As a traveling party was riding through Palestine, the "attention of .a certain American was called 'to the reputed site of Moses' tomb. "Moses who?" said Jonathan. "Why, the great Moses, who led the children of Isreal through the desert for fortv vears." "How far is'that?" "Three hundred miles, maybe." Upon which the American "remark ed: "Pacific and Chicago railway would have taken 'em through, 1 guess, in 8 hours." 3Iake Friends. "I will give you an unfailing key to success," said an experienced man to a young friend. "Make one friend every day, and retain all you make." Three hundred and sixty-five friends a year would certainly be an impor tant auxiliary to the productive re sources" of any ambitious young man making his way in the world. But then comes the question: How are these friends to be made? It should be easy enough to retain a friend once earned, but how can this very excellent prescription of making friends be carried out? There are many ways in which progress may be added in this direction, even if the task should not be literally ac complished. Let us look at the mat ter in a rational way. To commence with, Civility is an excellent bait with which to catch friends; and ci vility is cheap. Nothing is easier th in to keep a fresh siqqdy "con stantly on hand." There are bogus articles sometimes attempted to be palmed off for the real thing, but they are all so base that they niay easily be detected. Obsequiousness is one; llattery another; mock-modesty a third; officiousness a fourth, and so on. These may have the gen uine stamp," but their spuriousness is equally detected. True civili tj neeus no false lights to show its points. It is the embodiment of truth the mere opening out of the inner self. The arts and artifice of a polished exterior are well enough; but if they are anything less or more than a fair exponent of inward rect itude, their hollowness cannot long escape detectiou. Shakspeare has said, "A man may smile, and smile, be a villain;" but all the world knows that there is a wide difference be tween the smile of a villain and that of an honest man. Courtesy, which is the natural out growth of inward gentleness, bears its characteristics strongly marked; and is as easily recognized by the artless child as by the grown man. Civility, therefore, to be effective in this quest, must have the sub-stratum of goodness. It must be pervad ing and uniform not exceptional and fitful. It is all very Avell to lay the blame of an unreliable and explosive tem per upon weak digestion, or "that rash humor" inherited from others; but its disastrous effect would be all the same. The worst temper has been made subservient to a well set tled and persistent principle of right doing; and that is the only thing that can be relied upon. The whole question, therefore, re solves itself into this simple formula: To make friends Do right. To keep friends Do right. Pacific College Reric-n. A Naked llride. At the centennial celebration at New Fane, Yermont, the. address was delivered by Judge C. K. Field, the well-known anccdotist, and among the stories told by him in it is the following, as given by the Montpelier Argus: By a strange per version of legal principles, it was supposed by our ancestors that who ever married a widow who was ad ministratrix upon the estate of her deceased husband, represented insol vent, and should thereby possess himself of any property or thing pur chased hy the deceased husband, would become an executor de soi tort, and would thereby make himself lia ble to answer for the goods of his predecessor. Major Moses Joy be came enamored of Mrs. Hannah Ward, widow of William Ward, who died in 17S8, leaving an insolvent es tate, of which Mrs. "Ward was admin istratrix. To avoid the unpleasant penalties of the law, on the morning of her marriage with Major Joy, Mrs. Ward placed herself in a closet, with a tire-woman who stripped, her of all her clothing, and when in a perfectly nude state she thrust her fair, round arm through a diamond hole in the closet, the gallant major clasped the hand of the buxom widow, and was married in due form by the jolliest parson in Yermont.
