THE LOST BRACELET.
"There is a remarkable story connect
ed with that Lit of jewelry," Kiiid a gen
tleman recently to an Alta rejxjrtcr, who
was examining with some interest a
much worn silver bracelet, on which
with difficulty could be traced the letters
NOMAII, scratched evidently with a
knife. "The bracelet came into my pos
session, said the gentleman, "in a pecul
iar manner, and if you don't mind a
short story I'll tell yon about it."
Tho reporter, of course, was anxious
for the story, and tin. gentleman, after
lighting a cigar, went on with hi3 narra
tive: "I suppose you knuw that 6ome
time back I was for several j-ears con
nected with the Columbia river steam
boats, and so was often thrown among
old time steamboat men, whoso pioneer
and legendary knowledge was most pro
found. "The Columbia river is a magnificent
body of water, and 1 doubt if there is any
grander scenery in the world than that
along tho river from Tho Dalles to the
Pacilic ocean. It is at the Cascades, how
ever, that tho country is of the wildest
description and tho mountains ore dark
with the gloom of dense forests or rugged
with tremeiitioua cliffs and frightful pre
cipices. There is a tradition among thr
few straggling Indians that one now sees
along tho river, which is to the effect that
many, many years ago a great arch oi
rock spanned tho river it tho Cascades
forming a natural bridge 'of atujiendout
size. Ono day the two great spirits Iiv
Lng ono on either side of the river got
into a desperate quarrel, and in theii
mighty wrath and fury they tore the
bridgo asunder, and in its fall it choked
with huge blocks of stone the current oi
tho river, thus forming tho Cascades,
around which Uncle Snii U iiciw : b'uildmp,
a series pi locks, at enormous cost. No;
only was the bridge destroyed, but from
tho mountain sides the angry spirits
clawed off masses of rock and stone tc
hurl at each other. Strangely enough,
the ittOURts!s3pn each side pf the Colum
bia at the Cascades do ;k as jf l-y. j,a.ti
been savgcj; 'f;i'.! wUm tu"
sti u'4 zh; iuid
utanic
out little stretch of
wie imagination to believe that the tradi
tion is true so far as tho natural bridge is
concerned.
"But the bracelet," interposed tho re
porter. "I am coming to that," continued the
gentleman, as ho brushed tho ashes from
his cigar.
"In the mountains around the Cascades
thero arc numberless lakes unsurpassed
in beauty, aue many of them that to'this
day no white man has ever seen, so rough
and terribly wildls the country through
which ono must travel to reach them.
Somo of these lakes aro many acres in
extent, the heavy timber coming right
down to the edge of the water. Clearer
than the brightest diamond that ever
sparkled aro the waters of these lakes,
and of unfathomable depth. In the
hottest daj's of August the water is al
most at the freezing point, and, as you
can easily imagine, the trout in the lakes
arc magnificent lighters, and take a tly
with such savage earnestness that it
makes your blood bound through your
vcin3 with excitement as your reel
whirrs to tho first mad rush of the
sturdy fish. Many an hour I've fished in
those lakes with a half breed boy to pad
dle my shallow dugout noiselessly
through the water. Curious, ain't it,
that those trout will never take a fly
unless tho wind is blowing down stream,
and as for"
Haven't heard anything about the
bracelet yet," interrupted the reporter.
" "That's so. Well, one day the wind
wa3 blowing stiff down stream, and as
our steamboat was waiting to tow up a
barge loading with railroad iron, Capt.
Kow suggested that wo go a fishing to a
certain lake some miles back in the
woods. We knew that no one had
fished there for several years, and that
the Indians never went near it, as they
said an evil spirit in the shape of a mon
ster man lived in its waters, and though
several Indians had in bravado gone to
tho lake to fish, none of them ever
returned. After a hard tramp we
reached the lake, and in a few minutes
hail constructed a rough craft, pushed
out to the center of the lake and thrown
our tiies. I never had such sport in my
Life. A fly could scarcely touch the
water before it was seized by some hun
gry and keen eyed trout. Finally, tired
of tho sport, we determined to put back
to the shore, and, just for luck, I threw
my fly once more. There was a slight

ny was caught m a lTt of drift. We
paddled up to it. and. r.,ir ": rvrr t;
free the hook, I k;w a L-icco oi shining
metal on the drift. I hauled in the
branch, and there was that bracelet you
have been looking at. At first I did not
notice tho letters scratched on it, but fell
to wondering how it got into the lake,
for certainly for twenty years past no
Indian had been within a mile of tho
lake.
"dipt. Kow, who was one of tho oldest
pilots on tho river and deeply yersjed in
ill of thy river lore, cx-Ii the bit of jew
Iry in his hand and began aclose exam
cation. He was, i:i the luaiu.cno of tht
roulet men I cv. r knew and seldom
showed the slightest emotion under in
iivuus-ilances. ilo had examined tht
('-, I nt o iii!;:n.-rf, r - p,-1 '.vlin 1
heard hhn exclaim, tu what for turn wert
most unusual tone,;: Here, C II.' (that's
what ho always called rae), 'look and see
if these scratches aro riot letters.' I
looked and made out, as you have, the
word NOMAII. 'Yes, yes, said the cap
tain, that's what I thought. The first
part of the name has been effaced, by
time, but the name in fult was Multnu
mah. When I y.as a boy I retuembor
she was the most beautiful maiden
among tho Klickituts and they were
warriors in those days.'
" 'Why, captain,' said I, 'this is quite
a romance; teil me about it.'
" 'There isn't much to tell, except that
thirty years ago Harry Spraguo and my
self v. ere just of age, and tho Klickitats
were a powerful tribe of Indians, and
during the salmon season they came
in great numbers to the Cascades to fish
and gather berries. Harry and I were
:i the steamboats running tq ho Cas
cades, and Multnomah was a beautiful
Indian girl. I always thought that she
tuubt have been a descendant of some,
adventurous fur trader, for her features
were of Caucasian typo, and her com,?
plexion was. not more dusky than that of
a Spanish beauty. Harry fell 'n love ,
with her and she with h'm, Ihoao tM
often liappenedj iho -" gs
kncjw---iivi ' - -y da-s, you
tvJ. . .. ould have been well but
t.io Indian war which broke out
about that time, and the tribe to which
Nultnomah belonged left the river to go
upon the warpath. A little while be
fore the tribe disappeared Harry had
taken one of Multnomah's bracelets and
scratched on it w ith his knife her name.
Shortly after this the blockhouse at tho
cascades was attacked, but the Indians
were repulsed, and that night wo cap
tured a young Indian boy lurking around
the settlement who knew Harry and con
fided to him that Multnomah wished to
meet him the next night at the Lost
lake. It must have been very U3pcr1a.nt
business that would have induced the
Indian girl to visit the dreaded lake; but
we feared a plot and tried to dissuade
Harry from going. He went, and when
ho returned, a day later, it was only to
die of innumerable arrow wounds.
"Before lie died he told me that he had
eached the lako just at dawn. IIo was
it the point of stepping from tho under
Drusli when he caught 6ijht of Multno
aiah standing on a log projecting over
the water. Her long hair fell over her
moulders in disorder and a bright red
blanket clung in graceful folds about her
slender figure. She was gazing intently
on tho lake. Harry was just about to
speak her name when an arrow whizzed
through the air straight t i tha heart of
the dusky maiden. Backward she fell
into tho lake and sank beneath the sur
face. At the same time Harry received
a mortal wound. IIo never told us how
he got back to the river, and wo buried
him in tho woods fie loved so well, 'lite
Indians always claimed Multnomah was
seized by an evil spirit which lives in the
lake in the form of a monster ws.i aim
devoured. At any rate her body was
never found; but this was her bracelet.
Strange that it should have been recov
ered after so many years."
"And that," said tha gentlenian, a3 he
reached for a fresh cigar, "is'why I said
there was a remarkable etory connected
with that bit of jewelry." Alta Califor

A well known' physician of this city,
finding hirnself rather "out of sorts," de
termined to consult some of his medical
brethren on the subject, for few physi
cians like to trust themselves with them
selves. He accordingly called upon five
eminent members of the faculty in suc
cession, and it is a positive fact that
each one of them gave a different opin
ion as to the nature of his disorder, and
recommended a duTercnt mode of treat
ment. It is his own belief that they
were all wrong. New York Ledjrer.
