was not infrequently rewarded by find
ing an animal in the Jaws of a trap,
cowardly gnawing at Its own Impris
oned limb and attempting to skulk
awny at his approach. These pelts,
which were usually carried to a safe
hiding place, added to the luggage on
bis back containing fresh baits for
his traps and food supplies, made hi.i
burden quite a heavy one, but It did
not cause him to abandon his Win
chester, revolver and knife, which
were his constant companions and
they were not caried for ornament.
Toward night ho decided to climb
to the top of the rimrocks and take a
survey of the country. Away to the
west he saw the moving forms of Fol
lett and his companions, as their
horses Jogged along, leaving a cloud
of dust behind them. He brought his
field glasses to his eyes and surveyed
the men for a moment and the thought
ran through his mind: "Wonder what
kind of deviltry that Dan Follett is
out on for his master this time?"
Hammersley had beheld the victim
of these two men too long not to sus
pect every move they made to be a
wicked one.
"If you knew bow hot your trail is
getting. Dan Follett, you would hunt
n colder one-, but I hope to see the
Farne roe hang you an 1 your mas
ter" said the trtnper half audibly.
The trapper looked down at his
Winchester anil shook his head hes
itatingly sayliEr. "No. no. let ven
geance come in the proper manner."
As he turned in disgust his eyes
fell unon Brother ob'ect. far away
on the opros'tp Ride of the rimrocks.
A great cloud of dust. roe behind it
and the word "Snakes" escaned his
Hps. Bringing his rlass to play, he
was no t'me in making out the char
acter of his party. After surveying It
carefully he remarked. "O'd Eiran has
been at work again." Then he ex
claimed, as he looked through his
glasses. "A girl captive, as sure as
I live. Ah. Eiran stealing horses has
become too tame for you, has ft? You
are not. satisfied with providing your
Btomnches and means of locomotion,
and the hazard of occasionally killing
a roan who resists you. but now you
have gone and taken some Innocent
white girl."
"I am not the law. neither should I
attempt to punish you for your num
erous crimes, for I rather like to see
you hamss the T ord of The Desert oc
casionally he deserves it. but I pro
pose to look into this caper of yours."
As the trapper watched the course
the Indian Party was taking he saw
at a clance that It. was making for the
watering place that nIHit, near the
picture rocks. Ho was flrst to arrive
at the place and svrrtel himself in
a crevasse of the rocks near the top
and watched their apnroa-h. having
pelected a place from which he could
observe the camping grounds about
the watering place.
The reader is familiar with what
took place from the time of the ar
rival of tho Indians until the Inter
ference of the tranner, for It was he
who assailed Old Egan when the lat
ter laid his wicked hands upon the
person of Bertha Lyle.
Old Egan was strong and firm hut
the tranper was active and wiry.
With the advantage, too. of having
taken the Indians bv surprise he soon
tore him from the girl and hurled htm
to the ground. But as the cry made
by the warriors as they came to the
rescue of their chief warned him th?t
he had not the time to finish aettlinc
accounts with his antagonist. If he s-i
desired, he seized the girl by the hand
and led the way into a crevasse in the
rimrocks with which he was familiar.
As they passed into the recesses if
the rocks, he heard eTclam"t'ons
from the Indians which alarmed him
as to his Immediate future course
with the girl. They had recognized
him and knew where he lived, and to
apnroach his home with her would he
difficult should the Indians attempt tn
guard It. He was not long ln doubt
on this point, for he heard Egan give
directions for them to go immediatelv
to the trapper's place and guard it
until he came.
If once hidden in the home in the
same room as that occupied by the in
valid, he never feared for the danger
of her rescue, for the passage to this
room was po secret that no one had
ever been able to find It. though ln his
absence his home had been visited by
Indians and whites, and ransacked
many times.
It was easy to discern from the
shouting of the Indians that while a
part of the band, headed by Old Egar.
were on their way to the trapper's
homo the others were recklessly try
ing to follow his trail, for knowing his
-maj-ksroa.n?MDthfi .wan w.bo
irmeii l
with him knew the risk ho was taking.
But the Indians knew that as long as
he could prevent It he would never
Are a gun, while the girl was in his
comnany: that this would endanger
her Hfo by drawing the fire to her.
After going a long distance through
the crevasse made by nature's great
upheave! In the long past. Hammers
ley led the way Into a secluded place
which he thought was unknown to any
except himself.
As he and his companion seated
themselves the shouts of the Indians
came to their ears from the distance.
The girl was the first to break the si
lence. "Do you live ln this country, my
dear preserver?" she Inquired.
When he informed her that be did,
she said: "I have an uncle some
where on the desert: his name is
Lyle, Martin Lyle. Do you know
Mm?" The trapper nodded In the af
firmative. "Oh, If we could convey word to
him." she said, "he would come im-
MS
mediately to our rescue."
Strong as was the trapper's bod7
and steady as was his nerve, he felt
his whole frame yield, with a shudder
when he learned that his companion
.. . T . -1 V, - T . I , - . . .
"aa eiui i-ie, nu 01 me narrow
"capo she had had. When she had
told Mm her history and
the incident of her capture by the In
dians he felt relieved tnat she had
fallen into no worse hands than Old
Egan's,
To take her to his home that night
through the Indian searching pary
would be too hazardous. He could
make It -alone, hut he doubted the
girl's ability to climb among the rim
rocks and keep her footing in the
crevasses, although she had shown a
wonderful spirit of coolness an!
strength during their recent adven
ture. The trapper was quick to come
to a conclusion. He decided to go
and get his rifle and secrete his lug
gage, and steal Into his home with
the girl the following day, making as
much of the way that night as pos
sible. So' leaving her ln the cavern
he went on his mission, at the same
time avoiding the savaees who were
skulking among the rimrocks and
making a diligent search of every
nook and corner.
The trapner wag not gone more
than two hours, though his course
was a round-a-bout one, and to his
surprise and dismay on his return the
girl was not to be found.
CHAPTER X.
A Surprise and a Fight.
Egan rose from the stunning blow
given him by the trapper and quickly
comprehended the situation. When
he ascertained that his late antagon
ist had escaped with the captive, he
knew that he had a difficult task be
fore him. The Indians knew of Him
mersley from one end of the desert
to the other and his prowess struck
them more forcibly than any other
characteristic of the man. While
they had never come in contact with
him before in cunning they knew that
he was familiar with every trail of
the desert and with every crevasse
and cavern among the rimrocks. And
now that they were In the vicinity
of his home they knew that he was
till more familiar here than they, and
that it would take quick work to res
cue the captive before he reached his
home among the rimrocks, If once
there he could stand out against a
larger band of Indians than Egan's
present detachment, and Indian sa
gacity suggested proper tactics in
stantly. Egan ordered four of his best
scouts to attempt to follow the fu
gitives while he and seven of his war
riors made straight for the trapper's
quarters to get possession. Intending
when the trapper arrived with his
prize, in case they were not appre
hended by the trusty scouts, to cap
ture the two.
Egan had left his horses In care of
a warrior, and the chief and his com
panions had proceeded on foot. He
knew that the trapper cared roth'n"
for the horses, and that he and his
men could make better time on foot,
and, besides, they had to cross the
wall of rimrocks in order to reaen
the trapper's place of abode. They
movi'd off ln a trot, traveling In this
way until a late hour in the morning.
It was almost daybreak when they
ascended the rimrocks, surveyed the
horizon and descended to the oppo
site side. They saw the rocks that
overMiw? the trapper's home and
nlaced themselves as sentinels at n
safe distance from the entrance and
"uarded every pnth that led to the
place. Indian courage was not great
enoiiTh to induce them to enter this
place by ri'trht. While thev bad ma 'e
a quick trip from the scene of th
previous nlht they knew that it was
nosltilo that te tranper had rmd
a quicker one. Thev had. from a lack
of knowledge of the country, been
compelled to take n round-about way
while the trapper could have come a
strnlgh Wcoursc, doubtless, and ar
rived first. They doubted th's how.
ever, ns he was bnrde"ed with his
companion, provided the Indian
routs had not overtaken them, pnd
they hod grat hopes nf fiir'iig the
nlaco vacant on th fei'owinc
morning, and either take tho two
prisoners before or after they
"honld enter the place. It wan
Egan's Intention to enter the
n'ace if it proved to be upocc-inle l the
following morning, provided the trap
ner did not fa'l Into their hands before
that time, and then surprise him upon
his arrival. If h's scouts should suc
ceed in carturing the rirl, for this
was all they desired, they were to
signal the .ciujf's detachment at the
earliest opportunity. Thus Egan and
his .men concealed themselves among
the rocks in front of the trapper's
cave and waited for developments.
The sun rose above the level
horizon as if it bad popped out of
the sands, and soon peeped over the
rimrocks. Old Ecan and his war.
r!r3, ooM . and still -as---4he--r-4;
amcng which they lay, were eagerly
peering through the Bage brush to
discover if there was any life about
the trapper's home. For some mo
ments everything was quiet and the
old chief was planning for a more de
finite reconnoiter. . It was still shad
owy 'about the entrance of the cave
and nothing could be but dimly seen.
The door at the entrance was closed
and the marauders were coming to
tho conclusion that they had out
traveled the owner. They were soon
surprised, however.
The door opened suddenly and a
stalwart man of the desert walked
out carelessly, and uncovered, as If
he had never thought of danger. A
hist, passed down the line of war
riors, unconsciously, but almost loud
enough to be heard by the frontiers
man. But not suspecting danger he
strolled out Into the sage brush, sur
veying the country about him. One
common thought took possession of
the Indians. Quickly every man
reached to his quiver, drew an arrow
lnd placed It to the string of his bow.
Carelessly the white man strolled on.
Nearer and nearer he came.
Indians In the bitterest warfare pos
sess some policy and some sense of
reason. The lirst thought of all
was to shoot the man down and then
rush Into the cave-house, -secure the
girl and proceed on their Journey,
liut Old Egan reasoned. To kill the
tiapper, who was the friend of every
body, and had. not an enemy on the
desert, and who had never crossed
; his path before, did not seem to him
! exactly right. To rush upon him and
capture him by force and then bind
! and leave him so he could not pur-
ena tliim f A 1. .... U - .1 .-1 '
inojr uau reiaseu tneur
captive was the plan that suggested
ltseir to him.
But wise plana are often thwarted,
when the frontiersman had ap
proached a little nearer to the left
there was a "swish," and he fell to
the ground pierced through the heart
by an arrow. A young warrior near
whom he had approached could rot
resist the temptation and flred the
fatal shot; and quick as he had fl-ed
the shot he rushed upon his victim
with scalping knife in hand.
A loud "Ugh" rose from the Indians
and they rose from behind the rooks
and rushed to the scene of death,
some exulting and some showing
signs of disapproval, while old Egan's
face wore a sign of disappointment.
But before they had reached his slle
the young murderer clinched his vic
tim's hair and was already twining
a scalping lock about his fingers.
Before the knife had touched tho
scalp, however, a rifle rang out a
sharp crack, and then another and
another. The young warrior and a
companion fell full length for their
last fall, and in the midst of crackling
shots the others sought refuge be
hind the nearest rocks.
The shots had come from the loop
holes ln front of the trapper's home,
and the Indians could plainly see the
dark muzzles of rifles still ln the
small openings, and every time that
the slightest exposure was made on
the part of the red men, a puff of
smoke, a sharp crack and a whistling
bullet warned them to keep under
cover.
: It had continued thus for more than
an hour when a keen whistle was :
heard from the summit of tho rin-'
rocks In the rear. The dim form cf ,
a man was seen upon the topmo&t '
rock, rifle in hand. He could sen '
the skulking forms of the Indians j
among the rocks beneath him. and j
at the same time observe the en- j
trance to the cave. He signaled the
besciged to cease firing and mo- j
tioned the Indians to depart. The
white men withdrew their rifles and I
the Indians gladly accepted the ar-!
mistlce.
CHAPTER XI.
Two Villains and a New Plot
All is astir at the stone house. Thtj
employes have returned from the an
nual round-up and the place, which
had borne a deserted appearance for
the past few weeks, is now all bustle,
and men are seen here and there
feeding the horses, mending bridles,
saddles and harness, shoeing horses
and doing everything that Is required
about a great stock ranch. Night
comes on and finds them still busy,
but they change their work to the
finishing touches preparatory for the
night and one by one they come and
prepare for supper.
The Lord of The Desert Is alone in
his accustomed place. None enter
his quarters except on business and
only his foreman and superintendents
have business with him. for all busi
ness Is transacted through these. His
flass sits upon the broad arm of the
old chair, and now and then his hand
tops mechanically to It, and brines
It mechanically to his lips, and be
swallows draughts therefrom me
chanically. With mechanical regu
larity his face grows redder and his
countenance sterner, while his eyes
tako on a wilder glare.
A knock at the door and to the re
sponse of welcome, Dan Follett en
ters. "How Is It?" Inquires his Lordship.
"All Is completed," replied the
Frenchman.
"C.et a glass there find fill It to the
brim," exclaimed Martin Lyle.
Partially emptiying the glass Fol
lett seats himself and relates the par
ticulars of the transaction with Old
Egan, drawing forth the woman's
scalp from his pocket and passing it
over to the Lord of The Desert.
"Did you see the corpse?'-' inquired
Lyle.
"No, but I deemed this evidence
sufficient." replied Follett.
"Old Egan is a treacherous old
scoundrel and, would deceive us If he
could, but the'evldenco seems straight
enough."
"Oh, you needn't doubt that," re
plied Follett, "the old scoundrel
would never lose an opportunity to
commit murder, especially when bo
many ponies and mules were to be
gained."
"But they will never do him much
cood," replied Lyle, as he placed the
class to his lips. "I have a plan,
Follett, and you are the man to car
ry it out. My men report Egan and
his men camped at the foot of Ash
Butte. You are a pretty fair looking
Tmtiim- anyway, and I want you to
leave tomorow morning for tho camp
of the . Warm Springs tribe, lead the
warriors on Old Egan's trail, and take
everv animal In his possession."
"What about the deed," inquired
Follett, "remember this Is dangerous
work and It has been a long time
since our accounts have been ad
justed." "Tut. tut, man. don't worry nbout
that. I'll have all that arranged for
you by the time you return. Take a
drink, order an early bearkfast and
be off with the rising sun. I shall
depend upon you, Dan, I shall
depend upon you."
Martin Lyle sat and drank and
thought. For many hours he was
in deep meditation.
"With my brother and his daughter
dead and out of my way, nothing can
ever disturb my rights here," ran
through his mind.
Dan Follett left with the morning
sun to perform his mission.

H0LYR00D PALACE ONCE
TO BE
HOLVUOOD TALACE.
Ilolyrood Pnlnee, at Edinburgh, which King Edward will use for a royal
residence, has not been put to that substantial use for upward of 200 years. It
was built as an abbey in 1128 by Kin David I. of Scotland, and la so Interwoven
with the hUtorv of that country n to be the most interesting place in all Cale
donia, next to Edinburgh Castle itself. In 1295 James Baliol held a parliament
within its walls. James II. was born in It, crowned In It, married
in It and buried in it. The nuptials of Princess Margaret of Eng
land were celebrated there In IMC From that time forward the
abbey, which had been reconstructed Into a palace, became the principal seat of
the Scottish sovereign. Queen Mary lived there upon her return from France
In 15(51. There, In 15(10. llizzlo wan torn from her side and stabbed to death on
the steps leading from the throne room. Her son. King James VI., dwelt-much
In the palace before his accession to the English throne in 1003. He revisited
the plnce in Kil7. It was gnrrisoned by Cromwell's troops after the battle of
Dunbar. In 1745 It waa occupied by Prince Charles Edward, and from 1705 to
1709 it sheltered the Count d'Artois, afterward King Charles X. of France. For
years the old palace has been merely a show place, visited by pilgrims from the
mr ends of the earth, and reverently loied by the Scotch who see in It the glories
of a great and brilliant national history. It occupies a pleusant site and has been
kept in splendid repair as the yearn have flown by and the face of the land has
changed.
MURDERER HELD A SECRET.
lie la Pardoned that He May Exploit
His Knowlc.lKC.
Considerable public interest was re
cently aroused by the action of Gov
ernor Shaw, of Iowa, ln paroling a
murderer, S. II. Dawson, who claims
to have discovered the long lost secret
of making Damascus steel and also the
process by which copper can bo hard
ened and tempered. It ws to pre
vent the knowledge of this secret from
being lost to the world that Induced
the action of the Iowa executive.
Five years ago, when Dawson 'was
sent to tho penitentiary for murder,
ho was Just about to exploit the se
crets he had discovered, and a com
pany with ample capital had been
formed for that purpose. He was then
4i years old. The men associated with
him in the company that had been
formed besought him to divulge the
secret of his process, but he refused
to tell a soul anything about his dis
covery. The formula, however, be de
posited in the safety vault of the Des
Molues National Bank. To that vault
S. H. DAWSON.
there are three keys one held by Daw
son, one by tho officers of the bank,
and the third by the officers of the
Damascus Steel Company. It required
all three keys to open the vault uud it
Is due to this that Dawson is now a
free man. The work of manufacture
is to be begun as soon as' possible by
tho company which was organized be
fore Dawson went to prison.
Mr. Dawson has devoted his entire
life to the study of metallurgy. His
taste for the science comes naturally.
His ancestors for generations back
have been engaged in tho Iron busi
ness, and one of them, Ralph Hogg,
made, In tho fifteenth century, the first
iron cannon that England ever saw.
Mr. Dawson was sent to the peni
tentiary for the murder of bis son-in-law,
Wnlter Scott. Scott had become
infatuated with Dawson's daughter,
Clara, and had been paying attention
to her for about a year and a half
before the murder. At flrst there were
no objections on the part of the girl's
parents, bnt later they became opposed
to the young man's attentions ond or
dered him from the house several
times. Then clandestine meetings be
gan between the young couple." Mr.
Dawson learned of these meetings, and
to prevent them took his daughter
away traveling, but was followed from
place to place by Scott. Finally Mr.
Dawson and his daughter returned to
Des Moines, but strangely enough, the
girl then refused to marry Scott. One
week later they were married clan
destinely, and upon going to the house
of her parents for her belongings Scott
was shot by Mr. Dawson.
That Dawson has discovered the
secret of making Damascus steel Is not
doubted. A few years ago be erected a
blast furnace ln Chicago for experi
ments. He allowed several Invited
friends to see all but one portion of
the process. When the time came for
mixing the secret Ingredient with the
melted metal he banished every one.
The finished product he turned out

was harder than ordinary steel, mors
pliant, susceptible of a keener edge.
He made some beautiful knife blades
that would bend almost double, and
also a heavy sabre. He fashioned a
cold chisel and tested It beside ordl
nary chisels on steel girders. The
Dawson chisel went through the girder
ln much less time than ordinary chls
els. The workmen had to change tools
often ln order to get good edges, but
when Dawson had finished the edge on
his chisel it seemed as good as ever.
MOHAVES ARE SUPERSTITIOUS.
Tribe Cling Zealously to All Its An
cient Customs and Beliefs.
According to a member of the geo
logical survey who has traveled ex
tensively in the west, saye the Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Tribune, tho Mohave Indians are the
most superstitious of any tribe In the
United States, and they cling as no
other tribe does to -their old tradi
tions. "Their god is Mat-o-we-ha,"
says the scientist, "the maker of nil
things, the director of the sun, moon
and stars, the guardian of the hunt
ing ground, the sender of rain and
sunshine and arbiter as to whether the
seasons will bring forth luxuriant har
vests or famine. Ills son, Mas-zam-ho,
has charge of the white mountain
(heaven), and Is the guardian of de
parted spirits, which are supposed to
ascend to paradise in smoke, and it
is believed all the personal property
destroyed ln the flnmes with the de
ceased will go with him
"The Mohaves who are not cre
mnted turn Into owls, and whenever a
hoot of that bird Is heard these In
dians think It Is one of thcr dead re
turned. The owl Is caught If possible
and cremated, that the imprisoned
spirit may be set free nnd allowed to
enter the white mountain to find ever
lasting peace. Through the Influence
of the government agents the yearly
mourning festival of tho Mohaves, a
most picturesque ceremony, has been
abnndoned. At these festivals great
pyres were lighted outside of the vil
lage, on a spot selected as the most
pleasing to Mat-o-we-ha and Mas-zam-ho,
and when the fire was hottest every
member of tho tribe would throw his
dearest belonging into the flame, be
lieving that It ascended In the thick
smoke of the fire straight to the white
mountain and Into the hands of their
dear departed ones, carrying messages
of love and remembrance."
Appealing to the Colored Passong, r.
Alexander Southern Thweatt tells
this on his rivals and himself : "We all
