I went back to the wagon several hundied yaids to get my hand satchel, lor who could expect a worn in to go anywhere without her hand satchel, and saw Sain loading old lilond up also, with Hour and grain sacks. Tne wagon was in a "chuck." That is the two liont wheels were down m a mud holejust wide enough to admit them, up to the hubs. Sant got the horse loaded while I was tilling my satchel with the many small toilet articles necessary to a woman's h.ippinets. The road here had a deep ravine on one side and a hill on the other, and as Sam diove him along the edge of the ravine; he lost his footing, and rolled stopping, as fas as tne natuie of the ground woulj permit fcf foad theie was none.-u- wj we reached the place.

"We caught him beloreit got three down the gulch, fifty feet or more, with-out making a single eft t to save him-self. "Thar goes a dead horse!" ex-claimed Sain, with an indescribable mix-ture of reckless gaiety and despair. "Theie want no need of him fallin down, lis a case of d. liberate suicide, mam, and I'm glad you were here to wit-ness the fact that he threw himself over, and I want to blame fer it." The sound of crashing stones and bieaking bushes had ceased, and I hast-ened to the ed;ie of the ravine, where Sam stood, and looked over. What a misfortune! Old lilond dead left us 50 miles from home without a team; for Jones could not be depended on at all. "Do you think he is dead, Sam?" 1 asked while trying to get a look at the horse wheie he lay at the bottom of rous away aim Drought hm baclc.

When almost every nivalis had been tried to induce him to start, and he re-in lined in the same Hack, my husband went over lo one of the little houses mentioned and hired a horse to take us as far as the top of the canyon, a distance of twenty miles. They had led the new horse around to the side where Jones stood, ptep.ua-tor- y to unharnessing, when hepiickcdup his ears and started ofl, the lines hanging loosely over the fiont of the wagon. It was a down hill grade, and a sidling road, and our situation for a few mo-ments was exliemely peiilous. The more the men called "whoa" the fasier he Hotted, old Blond, doing just what the average male politician does wuen tne paity leads; trotted right along, keeping ta e wit 1 Jones without a thought of what the consequences mi ,'ht be. as c" aim m'tW-licale- " of course for me to scramble over the spring seat and get hold of the lines and prevent the approaching disaster, but I did it anyhow, and 110 one found any fault with me. ItIC 111111. "I shouldn't like to take chances on such a roll, mam," he replied but I'm going dow n lo see, and he swung him-self over the edge, and made his way to the bottom. "He's alive mam," he shouted back and proceeded to unload the sacks, lim 1 guess he's pietty b.tdly hurt fer he dont offer to get up, Sam carried the sacks one at a time down the ravine several hundred yards, to a place w here he could struggle up to the road wilh them; and stacked tliem theie, all that distance from the wagon. He then got the hoise upon h s feet and examined him but there seemed lo be no-thing serious the maitier with him as inctcda'de as it seemed; so he led him down the gulch to a place where they could get out, and up to where I stood. "He dont seem to be much hurt mam, but dont think it wise to load tliem sacks on him again. Perhaps you would like to ride him up to Keecs?" "Ride him! not I, Sam; but if yju think he tcalyis not huit veiy muchjou could load a le.pjl.UaVS and quilts, on him so 1 could make tiie children comfortable for' the ngit."

Jones acted so well fur the next half h jur thai, unfortunately, tlie newly hired h irse was sent back to ils owneis. The old by this time was very dis-agreeable, and although the ram had ceased to fall Ihe eanh buried in a dense gray fog, and only a rellex ol the sun on some adjacent peak reminded us it was possible for it lo shine. The ascent was not very sleep, but at evety small hill that horse balked, for a longer or shorter period. We all got out and walked; it was much pleasanter to do so than to sit in the wagon and watch the horses ploding and pulling , and straining efeiy muscle to drag our lather heavy load up ihe hills, and worse than that through the mud. It s natural for a person unacquainted with the ficis to suppose that 11 would be impossible for moisture to lie on the ground long enough, on such a grade, as to render them as soft and miiey, as flat, or level land; but the frost an d snows of winter crack and pulverize the earth, until like a sponge it soakes up every-thing, becoming semi-liqui- d to an as lonishing depth. The best team in the world would not have gone very fast or far, wilh Ihe load we had, in the condition the roads were in, and our team was far from being that. At noon we camped at an empty log room for two hours, logive the team a chance to rest, for they were completly: fagged out, and we had traveledjust live miles. After dinner the roads and travel were, much the same, except that every rod we proceeded the climbing was steeper Ihe roads worse, and the cold more intense. I did not enjoy the magnificaiit scen-ery, aud when Mi-i- s Nellie, broke down and cried, aud said she had nol wanted to come in the first place, 1 could almost have followed her example- - We were all out walking far ahead except ihe two men and they were on, either side of the team, rolling on the wheels, temoving obsttuctioii from in front of them, and blocking the wheels to give them t he breaihing spell made necessary bv their over A railroad grade through the canyon mocked our distress; and as the afier noon waned it began to be a serious question with us if we could reach a hu-man habitation before night. It was only about four miles lo such a place, but four miles was a more lot mid-abl- e undertaking than twenty on good roads. We met Mr. Reece and my husband going back lor the wagon, and by time o'clock we weie all comfortably housed ourscatteied load wa again brought our horses were fed. blanketed and stabled, and we were sitting down to a well filled table, and never was a warm supper mule weccme to ns all. 1 think a m re tirei', untidysel of people were never gotten tog ther than we weie, bill we didn't care. Out host seemed much amused by a biiel'skelch of our various experiences, and as he lluew an aimlull ol -- tat" pine on lo the tire 111 I lie huge open file place, he said: "You think lliese hard l.mes, bin did you ever hear the story of those poor fellows who were exploring this counliy with Gen. Fieeniont, in the "liliies" and I dtsremember what year, though it was lifiy eight or nine I think. "I was living at I'aiawan in Iron Co. then, a young fellow of twenty, when in the dead of winter three or four Indians came into town. "lhey repotted that a party ol white-me- n were in an uislant canyon, snow-bound, and lost; dying of hunger and cold. "They ollered, for a paltry consider-atio-to lead a party of citizens to the spot; for ihe country was comparatively unexploied at that time, audit would have been y to start to look for them in the mountain fastnesses with-out a guide. It was about ten o'clock in the morning when the Indians came into town, and reported the matter to the bishop, who sent a man out on the street with a drum to attract the attention of the citizen, and call a meeting." "If any of you have lived in the Ter-ritory long I suppose yon remember the terrible significance attached to the long nufiied roll of the drum as it was beat to announce Indian dangers or "We I, the same method was used to call the meeting that day and the cit-izens came out m a hurry, and really, that peculiar beat of the drum makes my blood stagger through my heart to this day. "Well, we held a meeting, and many were of Ihe opinion that it was an am-bush laid for us by the Indians' and that it would be absolute folly to attempt to rescue the men provided they were theie, and there were many chances against thai. It teemed impossible that any set of men, not bent on suicide, would attempt to cross the Rocky Mountains at that season of the year, and suicides are not gregarious in their habits. There w as many and many a mile in those days between our litile settlements, and the stretch of uninhabited country between our borders and California was very ereat. We got far ahead of the learn, and stopped aud built a fire, and discussed the dreary question of camping out; lot the rain soaked eai th, leaden skv, and piercing cold were no agreeable adjunct to a night outdoors. Hecommg anxious at the long time it took the team to ovei lake us, I left mv friends in misfortune at the file, and we.it back lo see what had happened. Half a mile back I met my husband leading Jones, who had four or five sacks ol grain on his bark. "Where is the wajroii?" I enquired: "Hack there is a mud hole, and I wish it would sink out of sight." "What are you going to do I asked anxiously. "He stopped, and looking it I think that great wrongs privations ar d sufferings, has exactly a contrary effect on diflerent individuals. Those naturally inclined to the merciful and generous, are but the more so, stiller ng for themselves; but a nature naturally cold and selfish.becomes ice or steel un der such privations, injustice and wrong as the people of this territory had just passed through, and were slill far from the shallows. "It was finally decided, however, that a party should go out and ascertain if the stoiy ere false or ttue, so you see the better element predominated. "Two teams, the best that the place aff irded, were hitched up, bedd:ng and food far the men placed therein as A C.IKl.'S COMI'LAINl". Wiilicn foi Uic Hiu,;, ON. h.nv sKuit the Fourth?
