He Took a Job .No One Flue Weald Vulire t pon Trnaedlea of the Trail. The year 1 tarried the mall Into the Black Hills fumlnhes the most thrilling recollections of all my career on the frontier," said Colonel Jim Baker to a knot of veteran plainsmen the other even ing. "I had been In General Custer s Seventh cavalry In the Cheyenne and Kiowa nars In Kansas, and had tried my hand at cowpunchlng on the Texas Pan handle. So I had seen something of a trenuous life and had some risky ex periences. But thone months or mall carrying In the Sioux country went be yond anything 1 had met with before. I quit the atmy service In the fall of Wo, and catching the gold fever that then rage.l In the Black Hills. struck out for ueadwood. Two army chums and myself located on Bear creek In February, 1876. and In about month wo were clean broke and all our capital of years of saving was gone. Misery and dejection are no name for the way we felt. Hungry and miserable, we walked amid snow and Ice to Custer City, and there we heard lots of hard luck stories like our own. After looking around for work I heard of a Job at carry ing the mall across the country to the Black Hills at $50 a. month. "A dosen courageous fellows had declined the Job before I heard of It. Hostile Sioux abounded. Every day brought news of a fresh murder of settlers and prospectors by the Indians. The offer of good money to carry the mall appealed to me, almost starving and wholly discouraged as I was. I hadn't eaten a thing then for thirty hours, and I didn't know whether I was ever going to ave a meal again. Taking; a, Desperate Job. So I went to the man over at Keegan'a who had the Job to give out, and said that for 10 down and $40 more In two weeks d carry the mall to the Hills. A ten dollar gold piece was thrust Into ray hand. and I was Immediately sworn Into Uncle Sam's service. I was ordered to report for my first ride at 7 that night. "With the money In my pocket, t hunted up my two mining comrades, and we had great All-up. Both of my friends de plored my acceptance of the risky Job, They felt that I had sold myself to certain death. I reported for duty. A carbine and a revolver were given to me and I started oft for the Red Cloud agency. "The first fifteen miles twisted and turned around the rolling hills. It was bright moonlight. As I galloped along I thought of every bit of recent news I had heard of Sioux attacks on lonely travelers among the desolate hills. I fancied that I saw Indians skulking behind every boulder and In every clump of chaparral. A dosen times I was cocksure I saw Indians lying In wait for me. 'It was past midnight. The moon had gone down, l naa begun to tnina me Indian massacre stories were about all Imaginary. I let my horse come to a walk. I had crossed Cottonwood creek and was climbing up the troll among the trees. "Suddenly my horse stopped, and I almost fell off. I vainly punohed my spura Into his flanks, and by words tried to urge him forward. 'He stood snorting and Quivering, and Jumped off and with my shooting Iron In my hand tried to lead him. He stood atone still. 'In the darkness I felt around In the mud and slush. My foot struck something yard In front of the horse. I pulled oft my gloves and felt a human head, cold and sticky with blood. 'It was a horrible moment. No doubt there were frensled savages all about, waiting for more white lives. All my boasted nerve vanished. I was as weak as a dish rag. "It was a woman's head. I knew that the woman was a settler's wife, and that her husband's body and possibly her child's must be near in the darkness. With trembling hands and knocking knees, I led my horse around the woman's body, and, climbing into my saddle, I dug my spurs Into the horse and rode on desperately. "I reached a camp of a dosen emigrants Just at dawn. They had seen Sioux the day before' and had been up and around all night. I told them of my discovery back PREACHER BILL Bill. Our Bill, Ilea preached a sermon, An' these old eyes, Seen him do It, Text Waa aunthln' 'Bout old Boas Don't know what An' It don't matter But the thlnge He said was common. ' Common sense.

An' the pit of hell's demnatlon Is the pit of a bad stomach." side, nothing unusual occurred that night. "I reached the agency early In the film ing, and, having delivered my papers, had meal and slept. That nUht I started on the return trip to Custer City. It was safer for a rerson alone to travel In the Indian country under cover of darkness. From that time on I was a regular msll carrier from Custer City to the Ulack Hills. We were paid 60 cents a letter, and the gov ernment contractor made money besides. I made the round trip from Custer City to the hills once a week from April to No vember, when the advancing railroad put an end to the profits In the Job. "Something hnlr-ralsing occurred on al- moet every weekly trip. If It hadn't been for the good money there was In It, I wouldn't have stuck a month. "One trip I was fording a creek when I was fired upon by a bunch of Sioux, who lay among tho bushes over to the west. How I ever got away is a mystery. "Fully fifteen bullets were sent whizzing after me as my frightened horse bore me over the brow of a hill. The Indians were on foot or I surely would have been fol lowed and slain. "Another time, Just at sunrise, I saw a man riding a horse like a madman toward Red Cloud agency. He wore only a shirt, and that was red with blood from a bullet through his shoulder. I caught up with ' him. He and two other men were making their way into the Black Hills, and In camp, while asleep, had been attacked by Indians. He got away, while his companions were fighting for their lives with the Sioux. A few days later the man'a companions were found hacked to pieces about the ashes of the camp fire. 'Friendly Indians at the agency and scouts told me frequently that I was sure to be caught by the Sioux some time, for the Idea waa abroad that the lone riders with the leathern pouches carried valu ables and Information about the Indians. A Race for Life. "One morning when I was about to camp In a secluded spot where I could get water and could sleep till night, I saw bunch of six or seven Indians coming full tilt toward me. They were three miles distant I leaped Into my saddle and got out my six-shooter and left the trail like a whirlwind. There waa a creek there, and It was eight miles from the Cheyenne river. Usu ally some emigrants are camping there, and I felt that If I could reach the river I would have help in fighting off the Indians, "But bow to get there? I knew that my time for a race for life had come. My horse knew the danger, too. "We reached the high bluffs of the Chey enne. Not a human being waa there. When I dashed up the rise of ground and made a good target of myself, the Indians, who had gained fast upon me, yelled. can hear the yelling now, and feel the way my heart thumped. Bullets pinged all about me. It seemed aa if I never would get up and over the bluffs. I . was about to Jump off and, facing the. Indians, sell my life as dearly as possible. Then over the crest of the bluffs . we went I Jabbed the spurs harder than ever Into the beast's flanks. The Indians came galloping and screeching behind. "My horse leaped Into the stream. I urged and spurred him on. My sombrero was gone. I saw that the odds were against me. More volleys from . the Indians, but the shots fell short .', ' ' , "My horse was In the mJddle'of the river. The Indians dashed down the bluffs, as If to follow me across the Cheyenne, but they stopped at ths water's edge. They probably believed that there were soldiers In camp on the opposite side and that quickly there would be a camp uproar. "The unsteady movements of my horse In the water saved my life, for none of the shots sent after me hit. My horse was wounded in the neck, and that started him more frantically for the shore. It seemed like ages while we struggled there In the muddy current. The yelling savages were firing at me. Finally, with a bound the horse touched the shore, and up over the opposite bank we went flying. I glanced back and saw the Indians making ready for another and final volley. Twenty miles still lay between me and Custer City. I thought the Indians would ride' eight miles up the river to Green Rock and there head me off, seventeen miles from Custer City. As I rode I sesolved that If the Indiana should bs at Green Rock I'd shoot' my horse and, using the carcass as a pulwars, lie oemna u ana shoot as long as I could raise my gun. "My horse could not last more than a few miles at the rate he was going. Indeed, few horses could have done what he had already done. A turn In the road among the hills, and I saw approaching a lone mule train carrying supplies into the hills Whew! What Joy the sight was. I knew my carcass was saved that day anyhow. 'The Indians must have seen the train, too, for I saw no more of them, l rested with the teamsters several hours, and then Jogged on easily toward Custer City. 'But my faithful horse was ruined. Do what we could to nurse and doctor the beast, be was a nervous wreck and died a Uttle later. 'I had one or two more lively expert enoes with the Indians, but that was the nearest I ever came to death while a Black Hills mall carrier." New York Sun. Gitv Market House, I4TH ST.

The surface facilities contribute extraor dinarily high payments to the municipal treasury. For the underground tunnels the city reserves only sufficient rental to pay Interest on the capital cost and to wipe out the principal In seventy-five years. The changes of policy represented by these dramatic contrasts constitute one of the most striking pages of recent municipal history. There are In the city nearly fifty "bus routes, about sixty tram lines and numerous "penetration" lines, which run also into the suburbs. The 'buses and a considerable part of the tram cars are still drawn by horses, while the balance of the tram lines are operated by nine different kinds of mechan ical power, namely, cable, compressed air, the overhead trolley (on one short line), the underground trolley, the storage battery, the surface contact system and three sys tems of applying steam. Half a score of In dependent companies conduct these unre lated systems. Accommodations are Insuffi cient, speed Is slow, routes are disjointed, transfers are only given between lines of the same company, and then only for first- class fares. The situation Is prejudicial alike to operating economy and public con venience. . The cost to' users Is also high. A few of the electric "penetration" lines have 2 and S cent fares within the city. The prevailing fares, however, are 3 cents for second-class and 6 cents for first-class, while only the latter fare carries the right to a transfer. These rates are very high In comparison with European standards, and especially for a city comprising 2,600,000 people within an area of only thirty square miles. The extraordinary number of Paris cabs, about 10,000. and their comparatively high rates about 35 cents per ride also reflect the un- satlsfactorlness of surface accommodations. From the various sorts of surface facili ties, however, cabs, 'buses and tram cars. the city actually receives something like $1,200,000 in special payments each year. Even' 'bus, for example, pays a license fee of $300 yearly, and the proverbial prohibi tion against crowding in Paris conveyances is probably Intended more to prevent a re duction of such license fees than as a pro tective measure for passengers. On the un derground road, where there is no such license fee, crowding goes on unhindered. The lack In the great French metropolis of even creditable, to say nothing of su perior, means of surface travel. Is doubt less attributable In part at least to a greedy Instead of an enterprising publlo attitude toward the whole subject. The monopoly fifty-year franchise of the General Omnibus company has amounted to a compact be tween the city and the company to exploit tne pubiio Dy taking large profits for esch party to that compact without promoting advanced or even up-to-date transportation development.

The surface transportation facilities of Paris are the most expensive in fares and ths most belated to fee found In any great city of the continent. The new Parts un derground road now partially In operation promises to be the cheapest and most complete local rapid transit system ever undertaken. The aurface facilities are privately owned and operated. The underground is leased to an operating company, but the tunnels are built and owned by the city. The surface facilities are In the main cov ered by a franchise extension granted In 1800 for fifty years, without any available reservation for municlpallsatlon during the period. The underground is leased for a period of thirty-five years, with the right reserved to the city to take over the busi ness on equitable terms after 1910. The unvarying practice for surface facili ties has been to lease them solely to private enterprise. The city's most resolute stand In the negotiations for leasing ths under ground was that taken for the right of mu niclpallsatlon after 1910, and. according to the official report, the special object of fix ing upon this date "on which ths omnibus and tramway monopoly expires," was to In cur th city the right thea te take poa- A RAINPROOF OVERCOAT this famous mark elfrtd Benjamin 5$ MAKERS NEWyORK A perfect Rain Coat a stylish rail Overcoat Olive, tan, and gray rainproof fabrics! contain no rubber never neat you up or smell musty like a mackin tosh or rubber coat 50 Inches long i with or without belt in the back i hand -shaped and hand tailored like all other BENJAMIN Clothes.
