had been at work on a sur
vey in the Bitter Root Moun
tains since early in the spring ,
and the autumn had found us all dis
gusted and homesick all but McGiu-
nis , rhook. . Besides , we were fam
ishing for news. Our mail and the late
papers and magazines should have
been sent to us every two weeks , but
for nearly two months nothing had
been seen of the old trapper who acted
as mail-carrier , and no messenger or
message of any kind had reached us
from the outside world.
\ . Every day we exacted from the cook
a promise that he would bring our let
ters out to us in case the carrier should
arrive while we were at work on the
line. Then we would watch impatient
ly till evening and hurry back to camp ,
more than half-expecting that the post
had come in spite of the uon-appear-
auce of McGiuuis. Expectancy was tor
turing us. Disappointments repeated
every evening for several weeks deeply
affected the spirits of the party. We
became restless and unsociable. We
tried to imagine what had happened
out in the world since we had lost
touch with it. and each feared that
some one dear to him had been seized
by illness or had met with misfortune.
We worried and fretted and tormented
ourselves with impatience.
One night after supper we lounged on
our damp beds , ten of us in one tent ,
waiting for bed time. The work of the
day had been unusually hard and the
hours long. We were too leg-weary
and heavy of spirit to do anything but
the little patching that was regularly
necessary and to lounge.
McGinnis came over from the cook
tent to tell us one of his tales of forty
years ago. . His stories possessed one
rare quality. They were reminiscent of
the wild life of the mountains in the
earlier days , but McGiuuis played no
prominent part in any of them. We
were all curious to learn something
about the old man , but our curiosity
was never satisfied. Frequently as a
story in which he figured gave promise
of showing his younger self put to a
test : of strength or of courage , he would ;
'
break off suddenly or change the entire
trend of his story. But he enjoyed j
spinning his yarns , and our silence of \
late had afforded him the opportunity.
"Well. I see yous are the same merry
crowd as ever , " he said , cheerilj * , as he
took the only chair in the tent. "But I (
which of you is it that's comin' up the ]
slope yonder. I'd like to know ? "
Several of us looked at him wonder- ,
ingly. Those who wore busy paid no ,
ntiou whatever. \
The camp dog stretched , went lazily
to the opening , then grew suddenly
alert and began to bark. Almost in
stantly ten heads were crowded be
tween the tent flaps.
Sure enough , some one whom we
could not see clearly in the dim light
was coming up the valley. It was evi
dently a man , following the line of our
survey higher up the mountain slope ,
though only a short distance away.
We finally fell over one another in
our sudden excitement. Every one
seemed moved by the same impulse. A
half-dozen pairs of wet and worn-out
boots disappeared from the passage be
tween the two rows of bunks at the
same iiisraut. Some one ran out and
shouted to attract attention. Then
\ everybody else shouted , because there
"
was "suddenly shouting in the soul of
each. .
1 McGinnis went quietly and lighted
the tire he had laid for morning in the
cool : stove. The head ehaiuiiiaii made
a place near the tent opening for an
other bed.
The roduian and the "stake-artist"
fell to wrestling , and rolled about In
\
the tent and then out of it with most
unexpected agility and high spirits.
A voice said it was not the old mail-
carrier , and we became still more curi
ous. Not a member of the party doubt
ed that it was some one bringing our
mail.
Two or three of the boys went to
meet the newcomer , and the rest of us ,
half-ashamed of the eagerness we had
shown , went back into the tent , threw
ourselves down on the beds and assum
ed attitudes of indifference.
We heard McGinnis calling : "Come
over to the cook-tent and eat before
the boys start you to talking ; they'll
never let you stop after. "
"I've e't , " a strange voice answered.
We inside sat up again , our anticipa
tion reawakened. A short , heavy-set ,
square-jawed man , without grub-pack
or blankets , limped painfully into the
tcr. : and sat down on one of the beds.
He was evidently much travel-worn ,
bu : his small , bead-like eyes were in
tensely bright , and their glance from
one to another of us was rapid and
searching.
"Didn't you bring any mail ? " asked
the redman ; abruptly.
We all looked at the stranger eagerly
and waited.
"XOj" he answered , in a disinterest
edly calm voice that lingered unpleas
antly in our ears.
The stranger felt In the Inside of his
pocket.
"Only a letter I found In the trail at
the last creek crossing , " be said , quiet
ly , as be again searched us with bis
small , restless
"It's for some one named Patrick Mc-
Ginuis , " he continued , holding up an
unopened letter.
"Do you know him ? "
The old man reached for his letter
and silently held it to the light of the
nearest candle. Then we all saw that
it was crumpled and deeply stained.
"Widout my spectacles , it looks like
blood on it , " said McGinuis , slowly.
"I thought it was blood , too , and
fresh , " said the stranger.
"The trail was torn up near where I
found it , and the bushes beat down. I
hunted without finding anything ; but
ray foot was so lame I couldn't get far
through the brush. "
; There was a sudden movement in the
tent , but no one spoke. The boys shook
out their coats and put them on. Every
one understood what was to be done.
i Those who owned rifles took them
down and provided themselves with
cartridges. Every weapon in camp was
hurriedly put in readiness for use.
The chief of the party had come over
from the instrument tent when our
guest arrived.
"What kind of tracks were there ? "
he now asked.
"I couldn't make out , " the stranger
answered.
"Take the lanterns and plenty of can
dles , " said the chief. "And , Turner , you
stay to watch camp. "
"I'll stay , too , " said the stranger ;
"I'm too lame to travel. You'll have no
trouble finding the place. "
"I'll stay and read my letter , " an
nounced McGiunis , quietly , to the sur
prise of every one , for old Morton , the
trapper , had been a friend of his in the
earlier days.
A moment later only the stranger and
Turner were left at the sleeping-tent.
The searching party was well down the
valley , and McGiuuis had gone to the
cook-tent. Presently he came back -with
his hat -and spectacles on.
"It's from inj * little granddaughter , "
he said to the stranger , as he opened the
letter. "Would you mind readin' it to
me ? My eyes was never much at hand-
writin' . "
The man read it a child's note of
only a few labored lines , chiefly words
of love , but he read it unsteadily , for
ON THE TEAIL.
the cook held a lighted candle before
his face , and whenever he glanced up
from the page the old man's eyes were
intently fixed upon him.
"Ah , it's bad business bad business ! "
repeated the cook , as he put away his
candle. "Now 'at I know what's in the
letter , I think I'll go on down an' help
find out what it all means all this
blood , here. "
Turner grew uneasy after the old
man had gone. The stranger said little ,
but he watched his companion closely
and waited till the sounds of the cook's
footsteps had died out in the distance.
Then he got up , and without limping
walked to the tent opening. After
standing there a moment he whistled
and sudenly turned upon Turner with
a drawn revolver.
"Keep still and walk outside , " he
said , quietly.
Turner obeyed promptlj' . He had no
weapon with which to defend himself ,
and he was badly frightened.
In a few moments a second stranger ,
lean , raw-boned and taller than the
first , came out of the brush leading two
horses , one saddled , the other bearing
a pack. The rising moon shed but a
dim light along the mountain side ; yet
Turner saw at a glance that the ani
mals were the old mail-carrier's.
"They bit easy , " said the shorter
man , with a low laugh. "There's no one
at camp but this. Now hurry. "
The last arirval emptied the grips
and bags and selected whatever was of
value , lie also took a couple of pairs
of blankets and all the ammunition the
boys had left behind them. Then he
began to make a pack of what he had
taken.
"Never mind that , " said his compan
ion. "Go over and lay out all the grub
you can. "
The tall stranger went to the cook-
tent. The other knelt down , laid his re
volver on tlie ground , kept his eye con-
stautly on Turner , and made a roll of
what the first had put down.
When he had cinched this onto the
pack-horse he marched Turner before
him to the cook-tent.
The nap ? ot the tent were slightly
parted , but there was no light inside ,
and everything was quiet. He stoppet
before the opening , gave Turner the
bridle reins and made him keep his
hands above his head w.hile at the same
time he held the horses.
"Hurry up with the stuff , " he ex"-
claimed , looking into the darkness of
the tent. He waited a moment , and
getting no answer , pushed aside the
flaps and started to enter.
But he had put only one foot inside
when the sound of a heavy blow was
heard , and with a muflled cry he fell
forward on his face.
Instantly McGinuis emerged from
the tent , and the surprised Turner saw
him drag out both strangers , almost to
gether , and dexterously bind their
hands and feet. A new vigor had come
into the old man's frame , a new alert
ness. There were purpose and positive-
ness in his every movement as he went
about his task.
When the men were secure he looked
at Turner. The latter suddenly came to
himself and put down his hands. Mo-
Ginnis took the weapons from his pris
oners before they regained conscious
ness , and with Turner's help got them
Into the sleeping tent , where there
were lighted candles.
"I never liked this one's looks , " Mc
Ginnis said , by way of explanation , as
he wiped the blood from the face of the
man who had brought the letter. "He
looks like he'd set a bait for you , an'
that's why I wiut away an' come back
unbekuownce to 'em. I seen 'em whin
I got to the cook-tent , and whin they
come over I was waitin' for 'em wid
the bear-trap , the only thing I could
find. "
Both men soon returned to conscious
ness , and after an effort to free them
selves they sat in dogged silence.
In about half an hour several of the
searching party returned with our
pouch of mail , but most of the letters
had been opened , and many of them
were torn and almost destroyed. Soon
after , others came , accompanied by
three or four strangers , carrying a limp
form , which they laid carefully upon
one of the beds.
The prisoners looked on Intently and
with unmistakable signs of fear.
Morton , our mail-carrier , had been
shot in the back , and , though danger
ously wounded , was still living.
"Is he dead ? " asked the smaller
prisoner.
At the sound of his voice Morton ,
with a convulsive effort , sat up and put
his hand to his side as if to draw his
revolver , but it was not there.
The men who had come back with
the party relieved the old cook of his
prisoners and took them out to civiliza
tion. They were deputy sheriffs , part
of a large posse that for nearly a week
had followed the trail of the two des
peradoes.
The old mail-carrier , unavoidably de
layed , had fallen in their way when
they were hard pressed for means of \
escape , and they had shot him for his
horses. Then , learning from the letters
of our presence in the neighborhood ,
they had played at a bold game to ob
tain provisions and had lost.
We felt that we knew McGinnis bob
ter after that. Chicago Record.

PINCIO LOVE MATCHES.
/low Some Roman-Youths F elect Their
Brides.
Among the niyritd charms of Rome
ire the patches of fertility which spring
up here and there .imid the sea of brick
and mortar. The most conspicuous of
these is the Pincio and its surround
ings. Here nature has ably seconded
human skill , the altitude of the gar
dens and the magnificent view they af
ford make them unequalled by any
other public park. True , their area is
is small , but what of that ? It brings
its visitors all the more iu touch with
one another. And ibis is the secret of
its charm for the Romans , whatever
may be its attraction for strangers.
For let the truth be told , the Pincio is
the great flirting ground of Rome. Nor
should this horrify the reader. It-is in
tended en tout bien tout honneur.
It is probable that the Piucio sses the
inception of half the marriages in
Rome. It Is a curious sociological fact ,
but the explanation of it is simple. It
has been commented upon by number
less writers that Italians are exclusive ,
though not in the usually accepted
sense of the word. They are prover
bially open and friendly , especially to
strangers , tae commercial value of
whose visits to their land they appre
ciate. But this cordiality , even to their
own coimtrj'inen , has its limit. In no
country more than in Italy is a man's
home his castle , and , except in the high
est circles and where there is no pov
erty to be concealed , he is chary of his
hospitality. This is especially true of
Rome and Naples. Therefore , if
neither she nor her parents receive
many visitors , how is the Roman girl
of the bourgcoise class who is not "in
society" to meet the inevitable lover
for whose advent and her consequent
emancipation from parental tyranny
she longs more ardently than young
women usually do ? The answer is'
"Tlio Pincio. "
On Thursdays and Sundays , when the
hand plays ( uncommonly well , by the
way ) , and the park is in consequence
crowded to overflowing , the signorina
who is tiie fortunate possessor of a be
coming costume dons it and demurely
accompanies her mother to the munic
ipal pleasure ground , where each ex
pends 10 centimes for the temporary
right to a comfortable chair ingenious
ly constructed as to be springy , though
fashioned entirely of iron. If she be a
wise maiden , she will so maneuver
that tlie chairs will be placed on the
main pathway where everyone must
pass. This bein achieved , she may
await developments. And. if she have
ire-tensions to beauty , she will not Ion. ?
be left in anticipation. The young
nen who pass will gaze at her approv-
ngly ; and finally one , to whom she may j
specially appeal , will detach himself
from the crowd and take up his stand
before her. Thus is initiated the first
chapter of the romance. From that
moment , without a word or sign , and
n-e-n with scarcely a look from her , he i
becomes her swain and faithful knight. ;
Week after week he sees her at the
Pincio ; he even follows her about the
streets. IIavin.tr ascertained her abode
and her name , he generally soon man
ages to find a mutual friend who per
forms the introduction. The rest is
obvious. Or. it' they do not happen to
have acquaintances in common , when
the silent love-making has progressed
far enough , a demand for the damsel's
hand is made directly to her parent.
Thou , as a sedate married couple , they
revisit together the scene of their woo
ing. This procedure , as I have said , is
extremely common , and is considered
proper among respectable members of
the middle class. I have been toid that
marriages thus made turn out. as a
rule , as well as could be desired. New

A writer in Knowledge describes s
method for mounting the eye of a dragonfly
on-fly in such a way that , with the aid
of a microscope , photographs can be
made through the lenses of the insect's
eye. The photographs thus produced
are multiple , because the eye of the
dragon-fly consists of a large number
of minute lenses distributed over its
surface , each bringing the rays of light
to a focus independent of the others.
In fact , every dragon-fly carries in it
eye about 25,000 minute and perfect
lenses , each of which , when properly
manipulated , is able to produce upon a
sensitive plate a photograph , micro

PULLING TEETH AT SEA.
Dentistry and Physic for Poor Jack
Tar \\hilc Afloat.
When a sailor on a deep-water ship
has a toothache he is likely to go to
the captain. The captain gives him
something out of the medicine chest to
put in his tootli , and if that doesn't
cure it p-rhaps he pulls it. It is a com
mon thing for sailors to pull their own
teeth. Their method is to put a string
around a tooth and pull it ; but denial
forceps are carried on deep-water ships ,
on some vessels a fair outfit ot" them.
A ship captain of long experience said
that in the course of his life at sea he
had pulled 200 teeth.
The ship's medicine chest on large
vessels is like a closet or cupboard ,
with a glass door , built in the ship. In
this chest" the medicine bottles , gilt-
labeled , are arranged on shelves that
rise one above another in receding
tiers ; it is practically a well-appointed
little drug store. There is supplied
with the medicine chest a book explain
ing the USL'S of the medicines. The cap
tain is likely to have some other book
on medical subjects which he has read
and studied , and he is likely to have
had a good deal of experience before
attaining the rank of master of the
ship.
The sailors are generally healthy
men. but , when occasion requires , the
captain prescribes ; he is the physician.
Limbs broken at sea are of course set
there , and there might be circum
stances in which the captain would not
hesitate to perform a surgical opor.v

The Soufuis of Battle.
The report of a battle reaches the
world over in these daysof the reign
of the newspaper , but without any
such outside aid it can be heard far
beyond the scene of actual strife. The
reports of the guns the mselves. the
real sounds of battle , go far out into
space , and can be distinguished a long
way from the point of co-.itHct.
Prof. W. F. Sinclair says that there
is nothing unusual in the hearing of
artillery at a distance of sixty miles.
The Bombay time guns and salutes are
often heard at the nortbun Mahim , a
distance of over fifty niih * . The guns
are or were at the time when the ob
servations were made very modest af
fairs , old-fashioned twenty-four or
thirty-two pounders loaded with four
or five pounds of coarse , black powder ,
not all of which was burnt.
The target practice of the forts and
turret ships at Bombay v.i. < easily dis
tinguishable from mere --.ilutes and
time guns , not merely a. > a louder tg *
sound , but by being felt in the cJM p * "

The sound produced by modern pow
der is probably very d-U'creat from
that of the old black powder , svjLthat
an army in action at the present fmuv
may be relied upon to make its voice
heard. The "din of battle " is not a.
figure of speech.
