Joseph KIrkland; Scribner for June. THE HAUNTED ISLAND. II V JOHN II. WIJITSON. A j:irty of hunters were slowly pick ing their devious way anion"; the bowl ders of a camon, at the base of the Kocky Mountains, on the evening of a pleasant day in the early autumn of i85.". The sun was rapidly sinking in the West, and the gray shadows of eve ning were settling over the earth, shroud ing the canyons in a pall of gloom, and casting a spectral haze over the giant peaks, except where here and there their tojtt wero tinged with crimson glory. The party numbered three, two of whom were bronzed and hardy trappers; men who had been inured to the wild life of the mountains, deserts, and wil derness from their earliest youth, and who, in consequence of their constant contact with the wildest phases of human existence and the isolation of a hunters life, were fair representatives of that class of men who form the con necting link between savage and civil ized life. The other was a young man, of perhaps twenty-five years, and with the broad intellectual brow that bears I lie stamp and seal of civilization. One could tell at a glance that ho was not an ordinary hunter, and would reach the conclusion that he -was here rather for sport and excitement of the chase than anything else. He was, in reality, a well-to-do merchant of San Francisco, who, longing to escape the distracting din and bustle of business and the suf focating heat of the hot season, had en gaged the two trappers, who were old aequainfcmces, to accompany him in a pleasure jaunt to the Hocky Mountains, and we now find them near the base of this noble range, and directing their steps to a line of timber a short distance in advance, and which fringed the banks of a river, known as the Gold Stream, probably because no gold had ever been discovered anywhere near it. The namo of the j'oung merchant was Charles Knowland and his guides were Black Jien and Shasta Joe, two famous scouts. As they neared the fringo of timber Black Ben turned partially and, address ing Knowland, said: "Ilev you ever heerd o' the Gold Stream ghost?" "No, I have never heard of his ghost ship. What of him? Is the stream supposed to be haunted?" "Supposed, the deuce! There's no supposin' about it; when Black Ben sees anything, he ginerally sees it I tell you there's a critter as stays somewhar around an island about half a niile down this yer crick, an' a'uiost every night he comes out an jLst makes things bile. There :iin't a trapper or an Injun in the country but's afeard to go near the island on account o the thing, and it a'most makes my blood run cold -whenever I think o' it" "What -is it like?" queried the young man, in a half-serious, half-jocular tone, "See here," said the trapper, turning Upon him, angrily, "hlebbe you think as how I He about this?" lJeg pardon, Ben," replied the young man, seeing his mistake; "but I am -skeptical upon the subject of ghosts; in fact I don't believe there are any such things. I think everything of the kind can be accounted for in a natural man ner, and as the result of natural causes. But what appearance does this ghost, or hobgoblin, present?" "Well," said Ben, slightly mollified, "as I said afore, it stiys around this yer island, though no one ever seed it on the island itself, for it allers comes up in the middle of the river, and gives a yell, like ten thousand Blackfeet howlin' all at onct You could on'y see its shoulders an' head, for the rest of it was under water. It lied a face suthin' like a human face, but all over hairy, an' on its hairy-lookin head war two horns that stood right straight up, an' as white as snow. When I seed it, the tarnal thing hopped right up within ten feet o' me, and let off the most ear-splittin' yell ye ever heerd. Why, I could feel the flesh creep on my very bones, an' my hair stood up till it a'most lifted my cap offen my head. I couldn't move hand or foot, until the thing dlv under water :igin, an' then I was so weak I could scarcely walk." Xnowland felt like laughing, but the serious tone and lugubrious expression upon the face of Black Ben warned him that, if he wished to retain his friend ship, he must not be too reckless- in scoffing at the trapper's superstition. He knew that Black Ben had seen some startling sight, but which, if the mystery were solved, would le robbed of half its terrors. However, he said in a serious tone: "Ben, I am greatly interested in this account you have given me, and would like to see this monster for myself. I would like to have you and Joe here accompany me to the vicinity of the island, to-night, and we will see if we cannot unravel this mystery." The trappers protested against any such procedure, lien bewailing his folly in revealing his knowledge, and declar ing that he would rather face a whole tribe ef Blackfeet Knowland, however, was firm in his resolve, and as they were in his employ, and bound in duty to obey him, and besides, as friends, did not wish to lose his friendship and be accused of cowardice, they consented to guide him to the haunted island, and, as they veri ly believed, to the abode of liu Satanic Majesty himself. They soon reached the fringe of tim her, and finding a gully where they would be safe from the eyes of prowl ing savages, they kindled a fire and roasted some juicy venison, of which they ate heartily, for a tramp among the mountains is one of the best of aj petizers. They remained hero, smoking and chatting, until the moon had risen high above the tree tops, and Knowland's silver timepiece, indicated the hour of 10, when, shouldering their guns, they carefully threaded their way down stream, in the direction of the island, flitting like silent siwctres from tree to tree and bowlder to bowlder. They had traversed about a half mile, when Shasta Joe, who was in advance, uttered a warning "sh I" and halted. "See yer, now!" he said, turning to the others, "we're almost to the infernal place, and as huntiu' ghosts is a ticklish sort o' business, we want to keep clus together, an' as still as possible, l'or rard!" Again they moved on, and soon came in sight of the stream, gleaming in the moonlight like a bed of molten silver. They could see the low, black island in the centre covered with low bushes, and concealing themselves where they could command a good view of the island, the stream and either shore, they began their silent watch, continually scanning the river and conversing only in the lowest whispers. The tedious hours wore slowly away; midnight drew near, and still they waited and watched. "It's about time the critter was a comin', if he's agoiu' to," whispered Ben. "He generally appears near the shud der o' that tree, leanin' over the water." The words had scarcely left his lips when the waters near the position indi cated were violently agitated, and a huge, hairy form in human resemblance rose out of the water, its two horns gleaming ghostly whito in the moon light, and gave vent to a schreeching roar that rolled over the waters like the shriek of a fiend, and was echoed and re-echoed among the surrounding cliffs with a demoniacal .and startling inten sity. The next instant the strange crea ture, whether man, beast, or devil, sank from sight beneath the troubled waters of the Gold stream. The trio seemed riveted to the spot by a strange fascination, and it w:is no, until the reverberating echoes had died away, that they ventured to breathe freely, when Ben said, with a sarcastic ring in his voice: "What do you call that, I wonder?" Knowland's strained nerves relaxed at the sound of Ben's voice, and he answered in strangely puzzled :uid wa vering tones. "That's the most wonderful phenome non I ever beheld." "If s not a spirit, though, 1 reckon ?" said Ben with a sneer. "No, I can't believo that it is. It may be some aquatic animal of which we have not heard, or more probably some miner who has found a rich 'lead' en deavoring to frighten and prevent any one from approaching his claim." "I mout a knowed you wouldn't be lieve what you seed yourself. The next thing you'll be savin' it was an optical delusion, and we didn't hear any noise at all. I'll tell you, I believo it's the Ole Boy hisself, and that we'd better git away from this section if we want to save our hair. The Injuns call it Devil's Island and are as afeard of it as death, an' they do say that whoever goes near that Island never gets away alive. "I don't care what the Indians say about it," replied Knowland, "I'm not going to leave these parts until I solve this mystery. We can't do anything more to-night, so we'll have to wait till to-morrow night Have you a canoe about here?" Bon replied that he had a good one near their camp. "Well, that will do; to-morrow night rm going beneath the shadow of that tree. If ycu will "go with me, well and good; it not, I shall go alone." Nothing of importance occuringwe will pass over the intervening, time, until the following night when wo find our friends nearing the haunted island in a large Indian canoe. Finding their leader obstinate and set in his purpose of unveiling the mystery, the trappers resolved to accompany him, though it should lead them into the very jaws of death. At a little earlier hour than on the preceding night, in order to avoid discovery, they cautiously approached the island, and while a dark cloud drifted across the face of the moon, veiling the river in shadow, they silently propelled themselves be neath the shadows of the overhanging tree. They had evidently come pre pared for any emergency, for they had brought with them, besides their usual weapons, an ax and a strong lasso. Here they lay quietly, scarcely speak ing a word, until near midnight, the hour at which the monster was expected, when one of the trappers grasped a pad-, die, the other a rifle, while Knowland seated Jriniself in the bow, with the lasso in his hand, coiled ready for use. They had not long to wait Soon air bubbles began to rise slowly to the sur face then suddenly the waters were violently disturbed, and the hairy mon ster rose into full view, with a horrid shriek ujh its liiw, and scarcely ten feet from the lxat Quick as the lightr ning's flash, the strong coil of law) shot from the hands of the young man and settled upon the shoulders of the strange creature, when, with a strong jerk, it was drawn taut and the monster lay struggling uikhi the water. A few strokes of the paddle brought them alongside, and the writhing form, which proved to le that of a man, was lifted within the canoe. He struggled des perately, but the trapiers, finding they had only flesh and blood to deal with, lashed him fast and stifled his cries with a gag. They now paddled with all their might and the canoe soon grated upou the shore opjKwite their camp, and their prisoner, who had now ceased his strug gles, was borne to their fire. As soon ;ls he was released and the gag removed, he opened his lips to give vent to a shriek, but Black Ben grasied him firm ly by the shoulders, and the ioor fellow cowed down in speechless terror. It w:is then .se.ii that he was a gibbering maniac; doubtless some trapper who had become insane, and made the island his abode. The low, bushy island was carefully examined the next day, :uul a commo dious cave found, the entrance to which was close to the water's edge, and hid den by the tangled masses of overhang ing vines. Here the maniac trapper had made his home, remaining secreted dur ing the day, and going forth upon his nocturnal excursions in tho silent watches of the night. The bonis which presented so ghostly an appearance were the ornaments of a sort of cap which he wore, and which was formed from the skin of some wild animal. He was entirely harmless. tuit hopelessly insane, and w:is conveyed y bin captors to tho insane Asylum of California, whero he was well cared for and kindly treated. This episode occurred many years ago, yet the flat, bushy isle Ls still known as the Haunted Island. HUMOROUS. M. Killsmith advertises in a St Louis paper for a situation.

"Why, my darling, that is askiug a good deal," he replied, and his countenance darkened. "There are Jones, Smith and Brown, and, in fact, all the best people they are candidates. You want me to be somebody, don't you?" "Yes, yes George, I do, I do," said the young wife bursting into tears; but all the news papers will tell how big my feet are and you know folks never think that anybody's feet may be good shaped if they are large " Industrial.
