More Beer Kegs " Stolen. "

some timo. The finding of this evidence adds
another to the list of cases which the courts

Politic * Versus Keltiilim.
For years past it has been the habit of cer
tain persons who were interested in the matter -
tor of moral reform , among whom nro Mr.
A. Overton and Hev. Henry Do Long , to
hold open nlr meetings upon the street
corners. These were mainly hold Sunday
afternoons when many persons wcro abroad
who seldom or never find their way to the
churches. These meetings wore orderly nnd
whether any good was accomplished or not
surely no evil resulted. Some time ago these
gentlemen wore notilied by the "powers that
bo" that these Sunday afternoon exercises
had to bo dispensed with. No ndequato
reason was assigned for tlio order , but it has
been strictly complied with.
Ono evening , not long ago. a certain col
ored orator of tlio democratic faith visited
Council Bluffs. It was on a week day even
ing , when hundreds of people were abroad
pursuing their ordinary business. A box
was placed upon the sidewalk on Pearl street
to servo as u , stand for the speaker , nnd hero
ho held forth for a couple of hours. A largo
crowd collected ; the sidewalk nnd street
were blockaded , and there was no effort to
enforce the "clear the sidewalk" rule.
These two facts have occasioned some
questioning. "Why , " ask these persons , "is
such unlimited license given the political
orator nnd the religious orator allowed no
place to bo heard I" Who will answer )

THE GAVE DWELLERS.
Now York Mercury : "This is the San
Marcus river , senor , and there are the
canons whore the cave men lived , "
baid the Mexican Indian guide , point
ing to a narrow cleft in the mountain at
a little distance.
"Well , wo will investigate the old
ruins , Jose , " replied Ernest Soyton , as
he throw himself wearily down by the
little eamp fire.
"Manana , scnorV"
"Yes , to-morrow. Why not ? " notic
ing the shuddering tones in which the
question had been voiced.
"It is the homo of bats , of great hairy
spiders , of worms with stings , of creep
ing things with a hundred feet , of
btiaUes whoso bite is death. "
"Vampire bats , tarantulas , scorpions ,
centipedes and rattlesnakes' ! ' A goodly
array of horrors. Is that all , Jose. "
"Spirits are there , sonor. The shad
ows of the dead of a thousand years are
Hitting around , " and the guido crossed
himsclt vigorously.
"Ghostsl Have you over seen any of
them ? "
"No , senor , and the holy saints keep
mo from doing so. "
"Havo you never been in the old cave
houses , Jose ? "
"Never , never , senorl" was answered
with intense excitement.
"Then how do you know they are In
habited as you say ? "
"Those who dared to go have told mo ,
sonor. "
"Many who went never came back , "
said the guido , warnlngly.
"Likely , " was the careless response ,
"but are there not human dwellers in
the deserted houses ? "
Jose started as if one of the serpents
ho so much feared was near. The idea
that men or women would trust them
selves in such a locality was more than
horrible to his superstitious mind.
"No , no , senor , not one , " and the
subject being distasteful , ho hastened
away to attend to his camp duties.
Nothing worse than the barking of
coyotes disturbed the slumber of Soyton ,
and early in the morning ho startoa
upon his explorations. In vain , how
ever , he attempted to induce Jose to
accompany him. Ho was forced to go
alone , leaving the half Mexican mourn
ing for him as one ho would never see
again , cursing him for his foolishness ,
and praying in the same breath for his
safety.
Far more than birds , beasts , creeping
things or ghosts Poyton feared ho
might chance upon some of the robbers
who infested the mountains. But ,
though penetrating deeply in the once
homes of the unknown ( lead , ho saw
nothing to seriously alarm him. Bats ,
however , How out from dark and noi
some chambers in countless numbers ;
spiders hurried away , and now and
then ho heard the warning rattle of a
snako.
"If ghosts seek such companionship , "
ho laughed grimly , "I have a poor
opinion of their taito. Hark ! "
Ho.had paused in front of a low open
ing , dark as midnight and reaching ho
know not where. The sound ho had
hoard was a strange , weird and wailing
one. Kneeling , ho endeavored but
vainly to pierce the gloom. Ho could
distinguish the rustling wings , the
scraping of horny , scaled serpents over
the rocky floor , the gurgling of water
beneath his feet , but none of these ac
counted for the unusual sound.
Ho listened , trembling with painful
excitement. There was no way to solve
the mystery except by penetrating its
depths , and death stood ready to meet
him in many forms. Again and again
ho tried to find some clue lo the un
earthly noise , but the more ho thought
the more ho was puzzled. A hundred
suggestions came to ills mind , but none
was satisfactory , and looking well to
his weapons he crept into the dark passage -
sago upon as uncertain and dangerous a
quest as over a man ventured upon.
It was a situation whore eyes were
useless , strength of little avail and the
highest courage might well have fal
tered. His ears wore deafened by the
whirling of winga , his flesh crept as
great , hairy spiders crawled over his
unprotectedfloshti3"worm8 with stings ,
with a hundred feet , " touched him , and
his heart almost ceased boating when
the mesmeric eyes of a serpent flashed
in his path and the angry hiss nna mag-
nlfledinto a rattling thunder.
Fortunat ly the distance was not very
great was but the connection between
chambers and when hope of life was
about dying out light came , and a few
minutes later ho was able to stand erect
and had left the terrors.bohind ,
Then the sound he could not decide
what it was came moro distinctly to hia
ears , and after regaining his breath no
hurried forward , and at last ho located
the cause of his anxiety , dashed for
ward , unknowing what dangers ho
might meet , how soon bo called upon to
defend his life , and was suddenly
brought face to face with a sight , that
I thrilled him with horror !
He hail emerged upon a narrow , broken -
ken platform jutting put from the
most story of ono of the highest of the
cave dwellers' homos. Looking down
ho could see the river foaming through
the bottom of the rocky canyon. It was
hundreds of feet below , and clinging
midway was a girl , while beneath , fran
tic with terror and anxiety , blood an old
man , with bin hands raised to heaven in
prayerful supplication.
"Father , I'm faillngl" was shrieked
in agony from the \\hlto lips of the girl.
"God in heaven , save my beloved , my
all , " was the answered Imploratlon.
Save her ? Soy tun understood the
situation at a glance. She had ven
tured too far , the footing had crumbled
beneath her , she had In falling clutched
a narrow sill , and It was simply a ques
tion of how long her strength would
sustain her weight , how long before
the slender lingers would loosen their
clasp and she bo crushed upon thu
sharp , ragged , cruel rocks at the bet
tom.

"Oh , Heaven , for Jose and hli rental"
groaned Soyton , distracted at his help
lessness.
Ho had discovered an opening much
nearer than wljoro ho stood , d.ishcd
down , looked out. was still twenty feet
distant , without the means of rescue ,
know all ho could do was useless.
Still ho called out cheerily and encour
agingly :
"Hold on and keep up your courage.
I will save you. "
Ho would have tlono so could ho have
twisted his heart strings into a rope.
That was impossible. Ho reali/.od that
ho was uttering a lie , but the sweet ,
white , pleading fuco would have caused
him a thousandfold moro to risk the fu
ture of his soul.
"My strength is fast giving out. I
oh , Heavenly Father , I am falling !
Tlio stone is crumbling beneath my
lingers. Save mo , save mol" came in
hoarao and trembling whispers to his
ears.
ears.Ho saw that her words were too true ,
saw fragment after fragment separate
and fall , and his heart momentarily
stood still and the blood In his veins
curdled icily.
"Hold enl Hold on ! " ho shouted.
"There must be some way to save yon. "
The echoes repeated the words iniit-
terincly , seemed to whispar them with
"ipllow , mocking laughter , the disturbed
irds flapped their wings and screamed
la'.agoly around the heml of the hopo-
e s girl , from far below c.ime tlio
.vii/'d voice of the father as hoe
o d upward wit i strained eyes , tore
lis h . rin despair and impotently called
or tniucur.
"Too la' P'cane stealing as the breath
f the dying , wind. "Too Into. I can
lolil out no longer. God over blcs ? you
! oi' what you would have done. Fare
well , father. We will meet in heaven. "
Mad with excitement Seyton was
limbing out of the window , determined
xj perish with her , when a strong hand
, viis laid upon his arm and in a tense ,
stained voice was breathed : "Sonor , for
bear. "
'Jose ! God bo thanked ! Save her ,
save her ! " * , ,
The guido leaned out of the window
is far as possible , skillfully coiled und
Iroppod his reataovor the head and be-
ow the arms of the girl , strained it and
jailed upon Seyton to assist in hauling
her up.
It was a desperate undertaking.
When foot and hands relaxed their
d it seemed as though half of the
Mountain side had given away , so great
; ho dust and rattling. And then came
i terrible fear to the watchers. Would
ho slender braided cord of rawhide
nold the weight ? Soyton saw it
stretching , trembled with excitement
; ind turned questioning eyes to Jose.
He understood and answered :
"It has hold'buffalo and wild liorso ,
senor , has thrown and held many a
bull. Why not now ? "
"All right , but carefully , carefully.
See how she whirls around , how she
bounds against the rocky wall. "
Inch by inch the girl was drawn up.
It was the work of but a few moments ,
yet as hours to the watchers , and when
at last the strong arms of Seyton enfolded -
folded the form and lifted it within the
walls ho felt as if all the hero blood in
his veins wore leaping with joy.
"A mighty shout of thanksgiving came
'rom ' below. Soyton glanced swiftly
downward , saw the fatnor wave his
hands wildly and then fall. The reac
tion had been too much. Trial bad not
killed , but joy might , and Jose was dis
patched to look after him.
Released from the reata the girl lay
motionless and to all seeming dead.
There was no tinge of blood upon
cheeks , lips or throat. White and in-
scnslblo nho lay while Soyton hastened
to pour a few drops from his Husk into
hpr mouth. It almost strangledbut re
vived hor. Something of color re
turned , the black hair looked less like
the wing of a raven resting upon now
fallen snow , and the fluttering pulse
gave assurance of life. Then the sweet
brown eyes opened , the bosom rose and
foil fitfully , oft length came sobs and
gasps , the forces of youthful , healthy
vigor asserted themselves and she asked
in faint , trembling accents :
"My father ? "
"Ho is being cared for will soon bo
hero. "
"Heaven bo thankrd ! "
"And you ? " questioned Soyton with
Ids heart in his oyos. "Aro you not
sulToring after the terrible trial througl
which you have passed ? "
"Terrible ! Never shall I forget the
sensation , never the black gulf yawning
beneath , tno terrible death waiting for
mo. And to you , kind stranger , I owe
my life , " and the little hand fluttered to
his and lay passively for a time in the
warm clasping.
"God only knows how I suffered how
desperate I became when I saw how
hopeless I was to save. To my guide
you are indebted for safety , but how ho
came is a mystery , as ho refused to ac
company mo. "
"Agues ! "
Supported by Jose , the old father had
climbed the stops , stood upon the
threshold and instantly his daughter
was clasped to his heart , and Soyton became -
came almost jealous of the kisses ho re
ceived.
Later ho learned that they had como ,
like himself , upon a visit of exploration ;
that Jose , tirou of being alone , had fol
lowed him , seen the desperate situation
of the girl , and , rising superior to his
superstitious fears , had como in time to
do the best possible service.
Recovering from , excitement and
nerves qulotod , the little party decided
to remain fora few days and enjoy the
wonders around them the structures
erected by the unknown race whose
name is lost in the dust of long-buried
centuries.
The days stretched out into weeks.

food so abundant from the rifle of Soy
ton ; and the beauty of Agnoa Leonard
warmed every heart llko red wine. The
old mnn , attended by Jose , made exten
sive explorations , leaving the girl und
Seyton to weave bright dreams for the
future and build airy castles whoso every
stone was fashioned , laid and cemented
by lovo.
Thus the hours elippsd away , golden
as the skies , and when the time of de
parture became imperative each thought
of it with regret. On the morrow they
would leave , and , the girl having ex
pressed a desire to yet once again visit
the nearly fatal spotSoyton whispered :
"No better time than now. The moon

With heart fluttering as the winps of
a cave swallow , with checks red as
morninp sunshine , Agnes accompanied
him. They stood upon the very spot
from which she had fallen , stood for a
moment looking at the glory of earth
and star-jowoled sky , wrapped in the
happiness of their own hearts. Then
the footing treacherously gave way
again ; thov fell , she clasped to his
heart , their lips pressed together in
the first loving kiss fell down toNe
No , not to death. The wall tumbled
inward , and from the debris crawled
out the happiest couple the canons of
the San Marcus ever hold ; that were
over sung to by river , over lighted by
stars , and believed they had found
heaven upon earth.
