Vovr comes the hn-.h that follows after sens:
In one wild burst the melodr went ont
From alt the glowing wood and fields about
And coldly shines the sun tho whole day Ions
The sontb winds will Infplro the earth no more
The glad, rroponslve voices now are dumb.
And If, as smect, a summer day should come
Ko smiling band would open wide the door.
What matter If the sun shines or tho moon?
What matter If the dowdrop turns to snow?
The robin and the bluebird wiU not know,
And the arbutus never wakes too soon.

THE THAITOH SCOUT.
It had been proved beyond tho
ghadow of a doubt that after tho
Mormons located at Salt Lake thoy
UUUbUU l.UK.11. vuut,vo vu v..u vuu.tju,
-making friends with tho Indians
and Becking to proven whito people
not of their own faith from pene
trating into that country. Thoy did
gain tho good will of tho sovoral
tribes of Indians with whom thoy
came in contact to Biich a degree as
made it safe for a Mormon to go
anywhere. Onco in awhilo ono was
killed boforo ho could identify him
Bolf, but tho man who proved him
Bolf a Mormon need havo no fear of
tho savages, who had beon trained
from infancy to hato a whito man
and 'take his scalp whenovcr oppor
tunity offered.
This desideratum was accomplished
in various ways. They made com
mon causo with tho redskin against
tho romaindor of tho whito race,
promising him all tho 6calps and
plunder. They mado him presonttf,
caused him to boliovo that thoy wore
persecuted because thoy espoused Iub
cause, and in othor ways got such a
firm hold on his affections that ho
becamo tho most poworf ul ally that
thoy could havoselected. Thoy mado
him arrowheads and lanceheads,
thoy provided him with his first fire
arms and best tomahawks, they fed
him when ho was hungry and helped
to outfit him when ho went to war.
When tho California gold fover be
gan to push long wagon trains
across tho .country tho Mormons saw
what tho result would bo unless thoy
could Btop tho rush. Left to them
Bolves tho Bavages would no doubt
hnvo attacked iu every caso whero
thoro was- hopo of success, but not
ono poreon would havo been killed
whero ten actually yielded up their
lives but for tho assistanco of tho ao
cursod Danites. Theso wero tho
"good mon and true" of tho Mormon
church tho enthusiasts and fanatics
who could bo dopendod on to carry
out any ordor and preseryo tho bo
crets of tho church with their last
breath.
Thoy know tho country, tho trails,
tho Btrcams nud ravines and valleys
from Council Bluffs or St. Joseph to
their own doors in Salt Lake City.
Thoy wero etrupg out all along tho
overland trail, and in constant com
munication with tho Indians. Thoy
acted as guides wero elected as cap
tains of trains sought every position
which would enablo them to play
into tho bauds of their allies nnd
work tho destruction of trains. This
was not oven Buspectcd, howover, un
til they had worked fearful slaughter
among tho gold Bookers. No living
man will ovor bo able to givo figures
on tho traiu peoplo murdorod during
thb many years iu which tho over
land trail was in uso.
Tho first train I wont out with, said
an old bcout, consisted of fiftoon
wagons and fifty persons. Of theso
twenty-two wero full grown men
aud well armed, and each ono fully
realized tho perils which besot tho
route. It would seem tho hoight of
folly for a husband to invest his all
in a Bpan of horses aud wagon and
Bet out for California with a sickly
wifo aud throo or four chlldronfjbut
plenty of thorn did so. Indoed thoro
was no traiu without its women and
children, nnd their presonco always
increased the dangore. Previous to
leaving St Joo wo had to elect a
captain of tho train, u "boss," whoso
word should bo law until wo reached
tho end of our journey.
Tho position naturally foil" to some
votoran soiuo huutor, bcout or In
dian fighter, who was iiostod as to
the ways and routes of tho Indians.
Some such man was always going
out with a train. In our caso tho
choice lay between two ono an old
trapper of many yeara' experience,
who looked honest and boomed to
havo had plouty oxporioneo, and a
man who was a btrunger to nil, but
who was loud iu his boasts of how
many Indians he ha,d killed and what
a bmvo, careful man ho was. I dis
liked him nt first sight, as I know ho
did mo, but, though 1 did all I could
to defeat him, ho wan elected to tho
position of captain. Ho waa a fellow
with an ugly, eulky look to his face;
eye which whero constantly roving
about and could novor look you
square in tho face, and in my heart I
believed ho meant us ill.
I found one or two others who en
tirely agreed "with me,but tho ma
iority wero perfectly tAtkfled that
io wa all right, aud it would not bo
prudent for us to say nuything until
we hail a better foundation than
mero suspicion. It would havo boon
tvtallion to tick nguiust him or re
fute to obey hw orders, and he had
the iover to dkarm ua and put ua
under guard.
At that vkte the train which pro
greMl 190 wilee into Kansas waa
sure to Awl the advance guard of the
ludkH Oh the fourth day out we
sighted some at a lUeMaee, and I
Marreyhr yo tohed or oaytoin. He

closed the train up in good ordev,
stationed the defenders whero they
could do tho most good, and exhib
ited such uervo and caution that I
began to feel ashamed of myself for
having suspected his loyalty. But
for ono circuiriBtance I should have
banished all suspicion.
Wo saw tho first Indians two hours
before sund6wn. None of them came
nearer than half a mile, Beeming to
bo content with an inspection of our
trength. An hour later and when
wo were within two miles of tho spot
whore wo proposed to camp the cap
tain, whoso namo I neglected toBtate
was Baker, ran up a green flag on
ono of tho wagons. This flag, as wo
afterward concluded, ho must havo
hadeecreted about his person. Ho
,, , ., , ,- flt,o
expauneu mawi wo rau up u-b"'
Indians would conclude that there J
wero soldiers with tho train and haul
off, and no ono no one butme ques
tioned tho truth or policy of tho pro
ceeding. ..
It struck mo that ho raised tho flag
for a signal, and when I Btated my
suspicions to ono or two others of tho
band, they agreed with mo that ho
could havo no other object. From
that timo we watched his every
movement with the eyes of a fox,
but ho mado no further sign for
many hours. When wo went into
camp ho took all the precautions tho
most timid could suggest, and I do
not boliovo ho slept two hours be
tween dark and dawn.
Tho night passed without an alarm,
and it was after noon next day bo
foro wo saw Indians again. Wo had
been traveling an hour after the noon
halt when wo camo to a singular bit
of ground. It was a ridge about fifty
foot wide, with heavy washouts or
dry ravines on each side of it. This
placo could bo avoided by turning to
either tho right or left, but Baker,
who was mounted, as most of us
were, led tho way right along this
ridge.
I was watching him, and I saw that
ho was farther ahead than usual, I
also taw him mako a curious sign.
Ho raised his right arm on a lino with
his ear, bent tho forearm across his
head and held it thus for a few sec
onds, with tho palm opened and to
ward the horse's head. Looking
ahead and to tho loft, I thought I
caught a brief ghrnpso of a dark ob
ject, something liko a black head
peering above tho bank, of tho ra
vine. I was closo to tho head wagon,
and I asked tho man to halt, and in
twenty words mado him understand
that I firmly belioved tho Indians had
prepared an ambuscado for us. I had
made him understand thiswhon Bak
er halted and turned to us with tlio
query:
"What's tho matter now?"
"Tlio routo looks dangerous," I an
swered. v
"Tlio routo is all right; bring your
wagons."
"Why can't wo go to tho loft or tho
right?" I asked.
"Look hero," he began as ho rode
back, "is this train under my orders
or yours?"
"Yours, sir."
"Then you bo careful. If you at
tempt to interfere with me I'll order
you undor arrest. Come on with tho
wagons."
Ho turned and galloped forward.
As ho did bo I rodo to tho right and
a companion to tho loft to reach a
point whero wo could bco into tho
ravines. Wo both saw tho samo
eight tho dry ditches crowded with
redskins and wo both cried out to te
gether: "Shoot tho villain 1 Ho has led us
into an ambuscado 1"
I dou't know who killed him. Five
or Bix of us fired together just as ho
put his horbo on a gallop, and he top
pled from his saddlo and fell to tho
earth. Tho Indians, Booing that they
wero discovered, sprang up nnd mado
a dash at us on foot. Although with
out a leader wo did just tho right
tiling. Every man rushod to tho
front, leaving tho ronr of tho train to
tako care of itself, and wo gave tho
savages a volloy which broko them
up and left uinoof their number dead
on tho ridgo.
Tho living sought cover, ran down
tho ditches behind a riso whore their
ponies wero concealed and made off
without (it ing another shot, although
theio wero eighty-four of them in
tho band. Had wo got tho train
strung out on that ridgo every boul
in the train would havo been mur
dered within ton minutes. Baker
was, as I found out Bovoral years
later, au activo Danito, and had led
moro than 100 emigrants to slaughter.
What was for boveral years known
as tlio Ixxst Train mado its start from
Council Bluffs and Btruck for tho
Platto river, in Nobraska, and fol
lowed it west. It consisted of seven
teen wagons and sixty people, twenty-four
of those being full grown
men aud boys capable of handling a
ritlo and standing guard. Tho cap
tain was an Illinois farmer and pio
neer, aud ns he had hw wife and two
children along uo one could doubt
that ho would do lib best to pull us
through.
I had a wagon loaded with cloth
ing, owdcr, lead and ftrearrus in
tlio train valued at over f,000, and
I was greatly ideased, when we final
ly made our start, to Sod our train
made up of men whose looks indi
cated that they could be relied upou
if h plach wins, Nearly every waa
had two rifles, lutewdiBg to sell ose
in California, and maay of them had
revolvers andpfatoto m weu u riaea.
Wekad been owt jijjp jhyty Mt4 hajl
not yet seen an Indian, when, about
9 o'clock on the morning of the sev
enth day, a whito man camo nding
into our train from the west, closely
pursued by a dozen Indians.
They hung about us for an houroi
so, yelling and firing at long range,
and then rode away. The stranger
gave his name as Comstock. Ho was
dressed like a scout and hunter, and
ho claimed to belong to a tram of
eoven wagons, which had entered the
territory fiom a point about twenty
iW tiMnw tho bluffs. This tram
was, he" thought, about thirty miles
ahead of us.
He had left camp two days before
to look for a valuable saddlo horso
which had stampeded, had lost his
way, and the Indians had run him
for ten or twelve miles. Ho ox
pressed great thankfulness at reach
ing a haven of safety, and at onco
began to offer his advice. Wo wero
adding many miles and days to oui
journey, ho said, by following tho
river. By heading more to the north
west wo should after forty miles'
travel strike a valley which extend
ed almost to Pike's peak. Grass,
water and fuel wero plenty, and ho
had been over it three times without
seeing au Indian.
In thoso days tho mapmakers knew
but little of tho great west, and
what thoy did locato was as apt to bo
wrong as right. None of us had ever
heard of such a valley, but it might
exist for all that. Most of us wero
opposed to making any change in
our routo, but hero tho captain
proved his inefficiency. Tho story of
this valley charmed him, and Corn
stock piled it on until it was finally
decided to change tho route.
Four of us held out until tho others
decided to go on without us. It
would have been folly for us to think
of splitting off, weak handed as wo
were, and so we gave in. Tlio change
of route was mado on tlio morning of
tho eighth day. We struck away
from tho river out on tho prairie, and
made a good twenty-five miles that
day.
Wo got no water at noon, but at
night camped beside a creek. I don't
say that I Buspected Comstock of any
evil, for I believed his escape fiom
the Indians was genuine, but I did
think it queer that he talked so much
and that he was so anxious to bieak
us off tho regular routo. Whilo ho
avoided tho four of us who had re
belled ho cultivated tho others, and
thoy soon camo to tako much stock
in him.
On tho second day wo found veiy
rough ground, and got no water
either at noon or night. On the third
day we found water at 10 o'clock in
the forenoon. Comstock led tho
way, and it seemed to mo as if ho
selected tho very worst routo. At
noon on this third day ho said wo
wero only fifteen miles from tho en
trance to the valley. Wo had to
mako a dry camp again at night, and
I had now begun to doubt tlio man so
Btron0ly that I sought an oppor
tunity to ask tho captain if ho fully
belioved in tho Btranger.
"Why, bless you, yes I" ho replied
"Do you beliovo in tho valley ho
speaks of?"
"Certainly. It can't bo over seven
or eight miles away."
"Captain, what is a valley?" I
asked.
"Why, it's tho level ground be
tween two mountains," ho replied.
"But do you bco any mountains?
Wo ought to bo ablo to see ono fifty
miles away."
"Say, you don't think there is any
thing wrong, do you?"
Boforo I could reply ho was called
away, aud Comstock took care that 1
should not got at him agaui. Wo
started off again in tho morning, and
fouud no water uutil noou. Then it
was a brackish, filthy stuff, in a sink
or pond. Tho routo was rough and
difficult, and tho pasturago was 60
scant that our animals wero begin
uing to suffer and grow weak.
Comstock kopt talking about tho
valley to cheer tho men up, but as
night came and wo seemed to have
got no nearer 6overal of tho captain's
party oegnu to give vent to suspicion.
Comstock argued, protested and eu
treated, promising that wo should
bee grass up to our knees by midf ore-
noon next day, nnd all talk was thus
quieted.
'l nat nignt a storm get in, and it
rained as if it meant to float us
away. Tho rain did not cease until
noon uext day, but some timo duriug
tho night tho fellow Comstock de
sorted us, and wo soon fouud ho liad
taken tlio axlo pins from almost
over' wagon. Then everybody was
ready to believe ho was a decov who
had led us away from tho routo to bo
overpowered aud slaughtered.
Wo wero ouo whole day replacing
tho pius and wero in momentary
expectation of an attack, but not au
Indian was sighted. Next morning
wo headed to tho southwest, nud
wero bix days in getting to tho over-
laud trail again, and durmgall this
uuio wo urn not sight a redskin. As
all of us believed that Comstock had
on understanding with tho Indians,
ko could not make out why thoy did
not show up.
Twelve yeara later an Indian told
xne all about it Wo wero right iu
