BY JOHN MONA* IN VANCOUVER WORLD. la the falrof 1865' I was assiestant to Chief Engineer Moberly, now of Vancouver, B. C., when he was Ordered to find pass- age for aavagon route through the mount.' ains of British Columbia. It was a very diftioult undertaking, but it was given te men who had lived their lives in the wil- derness of the great west, and knew no fear. It was CD the third day of our exploration that our party halted on an eminence of tbe beautiful Lake Shuswap and held a consult._ Won. Our •chief favored going to the right, which would lead him through a treacherous looking valley, and which tw of us held to be to low to be feasibl . After a long deliberation ib was decide that we separate, ' Moberly passing down into the ravine, where he believed he would find the pais. • This belief came from watch- ing an eagle in its flight through the ravine. He followed the impression given him from the incident, and two days later 'discovered tl- e wagon route. My companion aed I took a more north- easterly direotien, and for a time it seemed that we were surief success, for we found a footpath leading up -the side of the mount. ain. Bat when we had ascended to a con- siderable height the trail was completely lose, and the opposite aide of the mountain was a oomplete 'wilderness of forest and rook, through whioh neither man or beast could force their way. While we halted to consider the best way out of OUR MUMMA a few flakes of snow in the air warned us • that we !must, if possible, find our way back to the main party ; but this was easier said than done. We had orient several hours in ascending; the path leading downwards, which we surely expected to lead us to within a short distance of where eur chief would halt for the night, was un- expectedly out off. We turned our horses' heads to descend, and had gone but a short dietetic°, when, upon reaching an open spaoe;- we were sur- prised to find that the sky had beoome a dull gray and a storm was quiokly coming on. With all speed we pushed on, hopiog to reach the end of the ravine where we had separated from our companions, aed, if possible, to overtake them. But as we reached the foot of the rnoutitain my horse slipped and fell. I disengaged myself from the saddle and tried to help him up, when, to my horror, I found that his right fore leg was broken. My companion was only a few yards behind me and when we were only to well convinced of my great misfer- tune I took the saddle from my horse and turned away while he sent a bullet through the faithful animal's brain to end its sufAir• ing. As the echo of the shot died away i I turned to MacDougal and I oonfesi it was in a shaky voice I asked, "Well, old man, what are we to do?" ".Dunn, sir ; my horse is fagged out or we might mph on with her, but with this storm ooming on, it's my opinion we'd bet- ter find a hollow where we can keep from freezing till morning, and the find the rest of the gang." Indeed, this was the only thing to do. A snow storm was now upon us, and. we haat. ily looked for a placeiof shelter. Leading the horse down a small deolevity, we -fob lowed a path winding around the -base of the mountain, where we were pretty well protected from the fierce wind and blinding snow. My companion tethered his horse while I sat down in deep dejection to think over the scrape •into which my impsre'y nenoe had led me, when I noticed that !some of the branohes near me were broken, as if by a man or wildanimal pushing their way through them. My first thought was of the latter, but I remembered thet our route had been quite free from them, and I con- cluded that a human being had gm° over the ground only a short time before us. Telling MacDougal I would be back in a few minutes, I puiihed my way THROUGH THE BUSHES, and I had not gone more than tvieny yards when I saw to my left a oonelike hut be- tween two immense boulders. These form- ed the sides and roof; the front being closed by small poles placed closely together in the ground, while acrose the tops were thick ropes of vines to hold them in place. A small opening was the only door to this strange abode, and letting my curiosity get the better of my discretion, I stooped down and entered. It was so daark I coul3 see nothing, and I had turned to go out when I was startled by a wild, hideoualaugh which eeemed to come from the bowels of the earth, and quick as lightning I was tripped and thrown upon my back. Now followed a struggle which even now makes my blood tOp It is a sad thing th see fine fruit trees spoiled by the blight. You can always tell them from the rest.

I had always con- sidered myself the equal in strength of any man, but my strength was nothing compared t� this man's. Once I succeeded iniflinging him from my chest, but he In- tartlt y seized my wrists as in a vice, and I a cord of leather thong tieing wound around them ; kneeling upon me he bound •my feet in the same manner, and -then came and bent over me and laughed again that terrible, fiendish laugh. My eyes being now accustomed to the semi -darkness, I cculd see his face as he was quite near me, and never shall I forget it. The long hair was of an intense black - as was the tangled beard which hung needy to his waist, and beneath the shaggy eyebrows the black eyes shone with a bright fqtetuaity which faecinated and at the same time reeealed to me the terrible fact that I was the prisoner of a maniac.. Hie face was pale, his features regular and clear -out, and I not iced that his hands which rested onliis hips, were large and well shaped. • Hip clothes were of buckskin, muck- worn, and the ooat wee fastened`With large thorns. He must have remained beside me for sev- eral minutes, when he arose and took from his belt a large hunting knife which I had not before seen. -1 expected him to use it upon me, but be turned and placed it in a niche in the wall, and going to the entrance, -he placed a large flat stone -against the Opening. Unow looked around the place which hadi BECOME MY PRISON: The sides were low and of earth and stone, and the floor was cif earth and pressed solid as a rook, a small' opening about a feet square and perhaps five feet from the floot, sereed as a window. In one corner Warit some stones placed in a semi circle aroitnd a flat stone, over which hung a a fo ked iron. •Directly above, in the roof of the cave, was a hole through which the smoke could pass out. As I was 1 ing with my face to the window, I looked up and was delighted to see the face of .MacDougal. I nearly forgot my danger, and was about to shout to him when my captor at that instant turned toward the light, and the face was quickly withdrawn. The maniac now went • to the corner of the cave and drew together some twigs and pieces of wood, and, striking a flint, h lighted afire. Taking the knife, he passed to the other end pf the cave, and I could hear him cutting something. Coming back to the fire, .he knelt down, and putting some pieces of meat upon' tho forked iron, he placed it over the blaze and turned it frequently •until he seemed satisfied that it was well cooked. Then taking a wooden dish, which I concluded 'contained corn or - dried berries, from the niche in the wall, he sat on a slab of wood and ate his supper. He was facing the fire, and thus turned partly fro -m the Window, and I was hoping that MacDougal would again appear. I had not long to wait, for he soon looked through the small window and by signs gave me to understand that he would try to help me. From his motions, I concluded that he meant to wait till night and then ent8r the cave. Although I was so bound that I could not move, I endeavored to eon- vey to him the mental condition • of my captor. I was in terror for fear he ' would be discovered, as I now ,saw the inan had 'finished his supper. ••, _ -Replenishing the fire, he turned around' and sat intently regarding me, A loek of mild sympathy had now taken the place of the look of fierce brightness in his WONDERFUL DARK EYES. How long he. sat thus I cannot tell, but it seemed an eternity to me. The cave was lighted only by the lurid fire. At length he arose, and going W. the door, braned two sticks and rolled a large stone against it. Throwing more wood upon the fire he went to the farther end of the cave, and I could hear him lifting a • weight, and then knew that he had leftthe room, for he was putting a stone against an opening from an adjoining apartment). I now made a tremendous effort to loosen my hands and feet, _ but without success. The leather thongs had out into my wrists until they were bleeding, and I realized that I must wait for MacDougal to affect an entrance into the cave. I managed to wriggle my body about until. I was directly in front of the stone do5roof the second apartment, when I saw the faintest gleam of light through a tiny hole beneath the stone. I succeeded in getting my eye directly over the hole and could -see my captor kneeling upon the ground about six feetifrom me • before him wase hole from which he was throwing the dirt by means of a small flat stone. Im- agine my surprise when he took out several large skin bags plush as are ushd by miners forecarrying gold dust and nuggets. Some of these bags he opened, and taking out the nuggets he fondled them gleefully, ever and anon laughing that low, terrible laugh. He might have heard me breathing, for several times he looked up, as though a sound had reached his ears, then would continue handl- ing his gold with all the fondness of a miser added to the madness of .a maniac. I watched him until he began to again bury his treasure, and then I moved back into the position in which he bad left me and then lay hoping and praying that Mac - Dougal would soon come. After some time the maniac removed the stone and came out; by this time the cave ailfor in intense darkness. I could hear him rustling some branches and then lie down. Soon I could tell by hie regular breathing • that he was in 4 deep sleep, and I again made a great effort to free myself, but with every movement the blood flowed afrieh, and, worn out, I at last fell into fia. troubled sleep. I awoke soon and a slighe noise at the save entrance told me that MacDougal Was trying to loosen THE STONE AT THE DOOR. I moved over, thinking I could with my body remove the stone and sticks braced against it. With my feet I pushed away the stone, and then with a mighty effort MacDougal moved the flat stone, which served for the door, and thrush his body through, and from under his cape flashed the light of his lantern. . .At the fall of the stone at the door the mania° had given an unearthly yell, and seizing his hunting knife-, had placed him- self against the opening to the adjoining room. But the light of the lantern seemed to madden him, and as MacDougal bent to cut the cord holding my hands, the maniao uttered hie fiendish laugh and aprang upon biro. Then ensued a struggle which I can. not reoall without a shudder. The lantern was extinguished in the struggle, and in the midnight darkness,' I could not even see their forms as they hid each other in that death embrace. At last there was a heavy thud ; a body had fallen—but whoee ? I could not speak. Ib was MacDougal's voice which trent the wildest thrill of joy through me I have ever experienced. " Well, cap'n, guess I'll see if loan light this hole up and get you loose. A pretty serape you got us into, I say." He lighted his lantern, and taking his knife, red with blood, he out the thongs which bound me and helped me upon my feet, when I saw how pale he looked and that his clothes were out and bloody. To- gether we approached the body of the maniac. I turned away, and bitterly did I aurae my curiosity which had led ine to be the armee of this innocent man's death. • We left the cave, and, finding a shelter-, big spot, I dressed MacDougal's wounds as best I could., The storm had now paseed, and we lay bidden and slept till morning. I could not farce myself yet to speak of THE HIDDEN TREASURE, for I felt ib would be a sacrilege to take:it. It was quite late, when we had eaten our breakfast of the few hard biscuit remaining in our saddle bags, but as I felt sore and tired, and -MacDougal was in no condition to travel yet, we bad said nothing about moving on, when we heard shouts which seemed to come from the mountain above us. Running forward, I shouted back, and we were overjoyed to zee, two of Moberly's men, whom he had sent back to find as, he fear- ing we had been lost in the storm. To Johnston and Nolan 'I told the story of our adventures, and they entered the cave and carried out the body- of the maniac. - The olothing was searched to find some clue to his name or family, but none was found. We knewley every outline of his body that he had been well born, and that once a high degree of intelligence had reign- ed in that active but deranged brain. The two men dug a'shallow grave, and tenderly we laid him away under the beautiful pines, unknown, unwept. The stars of centuries will keep their faithful vigilance over that eolitary mountain grave, until time shall be no more, and that soul, clothed in its right miod, shall appear befork its God. After the body was bin 'ed we vieited the secend apartment and oa cited out the begs of gold. The cave was searched for some evidence as to the identity of the unfortun- ate occupant, but again we were unsucoess- fuli MaoDougal had received several setre gashes, and was weak from lose of d, so we placed him upon his horse, and by the middle of the, afternoon had reached Moberly's camp. The gold wise divided among the three men, MacDougal and the two who came to our rescue, I would take none of-. it., for I felt that the curse of that maniac would follow me to the ends of the earth it I took the treasure winch had, in all probability cost him his version and later his life. • A TERRIBLE IViISTAICH. A New Brunswick Man About to be Operated on for Appendi- pitis—A Narrow Escape. ST. M-ARYS, N. B., Nov. 4.—What came neerly being a fearful blunder happened here a short time ago.

He really had atone in the Bladder. Mr. Harrison says :— " About thie time a anxious friend advis- ed ins to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and by the time I had used the first box I pasaed a stone of unusual size, which is now in the dootor's possession. " I began at once to feel better, and you may judge of my gratitude for my es- cape thus promptly and safely. Having taken only three box, I am happy to state I am absolutely cured, with no sign of the return of my old trouble." • A Temperance Lesson. Chief Khama, of the Bamanghwato tribe, South Africa, who is now known as one of the most progressive native rulers in that country, was not always a potentate of order and progress. In a recent letter to the Beckmualand News, the aged chief tells •how his country was ruined by the drink traffic. He says : "In the older days we wore given to liquor, and there was great destruction among us. By giving heed to the matter, I found that the drink was the beginning of the destruction, And in l875 I forbade European liquors ia my town ; but the destruction and the disputes did not cease. In 1876 I forbade Secwana liquors, and then it was that the disputes ceased. Tbere were ale° many chieftians, my syounger brothers, Who liked drink very much ; but I persuaded them to leave it alone, In 1895, however, one of illy people began to make beer to drink in my town.

As is well known, Daniel Webster sins fitted for college by Rev. Mr. Wood, at Boaceswen, New Hampshire. He was a good student, and a favorite with his instructor, but hie love of sport, particularly fishing, sometimes drew him away from his studies and brought upon him a reprimand. Oa one occaeion Daniel had been , fishing 'with- out leave, and, as a punishment, .one hund- red lines of Virgil were given him to treat- lat 9. Daniel ressIved to surprise his instructor; he did not goto bed, but sat up all night poring over his Virgil. The next day,when the hour for recitation came, he recited his hundred.lifies with fluency and correct- ness : "Very well," said Dr. Wood, preparing to close the book. • "But, doctor, I have a few more lines that I can recite." "Go on, thee," said the -teacher, suppos• ing that the lad mighthave. read twenty-five or thirty lines more. But the boykepton till he had completed a second hundred. "But," said Dan; "1 have studied -fur- ther." - " Very remarkable," said the minister in surprise • " well, let us have them." Dan rolled off another hundred lines,which he appeared to know quite as well as the previous two hundred. " You are a smart boy !" said the dootor, approvingly, and not without a feeling of weariness, for it is rather tedious to listen critically to the translation of three hundred lines. "But," said Dan, "1 am not through yet." " Pray how much have you read ?" asked Dr. Wood, in amazement. "1 can recite five hundred more if you like," said Dan, his eyes twinkling with en- joyment at the Doctor's surprise. " I think that will do tor to -day," said Dr. Wood. "1 don't think I shall have time to bear them now. •You may have the rest of the day for pigeonshooting." And Daniel, rejeicing at the permiesion, went off to the enjoyment of his sport. • THE MOST EFFECTIVE DESIGNS ARE SHOWN IN THE • Diamond Dye Mat and Rug Patterns.

A LUCKY GENERAL, There are few generals which have never made mistakes—probably only two or three even of those whose names have been im- mortalized by success. Whether a man'e mistakes are or are not fatal to his repute- tion'depends largely upon luok. Some men blunder egregiously, and are saved from the consequences only by luck alone; others, for want of luck, are ruined by compara- tively trivial errors or miscalculations. No one is more at the mercy of " the fortune of war" than the general, though here and there a man arises •who by his military genius and force of character, holds such a maetery of all the circumstances that make or mar success that the element of chance has no power against him. General Wolfe is an instance of the way in whioh a lucky chance rashes a general a historical hero. • He sent his troops up a path that the Frain!' thought was praotio- ally impossible to the Heights of Abraham. If there had been a corporal's guard at the top of the path his men would never have ;earthed the heights. When he reached the top Wolfe wail without cannon, and Mont - calm had only to keep • within his defence° in order to be safe from assault. But the French general issued forth from them and fought the enemy on the plains, with the result that he was defeated and Quebec taken. Geral Wolfe was a brave and skilful general, but had ib not been for follies on the part of his foe that he hardly could have anticipated, he would have had to give up all hope of taking Quebec, and his name would not bane stood out in history as one of the greatest warriors. BABY'S ILLS. 1 Every Mother Should be in a Position to Promptly Relieve the Minor Ailments of Her Little Ones. MINIMINIma•••••..moyllo The baby who is always plump, always has a good appetite, always has a clear eye and a rosy cheek, and is always active and playful, is the choicest treasure this life af- fords. The medicine which keeps babies in such a condition, or which restores them to it when then are 111, is certainly a priceless boon to humanity. There are many medi- cines which produce sleep, but their action upon the child is similar to that which whisky or opium has upon a full grown man. They deaden and stupefy, and are the most injurious things which can be given to children. The only sale mum) is to use nature'a remedies. Nature has provided a vegetable cure for every ill, and her remedies for children's disorders are scientifically com- pounded in Baby's Own Tablets. For diarrhoea, constipation, colic, simple fever, croup, irritation when teething, indigestion, and all the disorders of ohildren so familiar to mothers, this remedy is conceded by the medical profession to be without an equal.
