The sharp sL'ver horn of the clear coiled moon hangirg so low in the marvelous sky of 'Colorado, it seemed yon might tiptoe up and touch it from the hilltop slid hastily down behind Pike's Peak on this evening, as if it did not like to see what was about to happen. This was in the earlier davs of Colo rado, wnen miners, slept on their newly discovertd claims. A wall of rock and debns from the mine made a sort of fortress against the eavage and the etorra. This mine here at Boulder Canon was a new discovery the richest, the most marvelously rich that ever yet had been f cuud. iiut as all thi3 has been said of nearly every discovery, these glaring adjectives edd but. little 'to the outline of this crade little sketch. This claim, iiKe au oiQtr ieariuuy ricn ones, was aiso i or saie. xuai was : wnv it was so rich. That was why all : eorts of people irom an sorts ot places came straeelintr in through the narrow passes left in the walls to where Colonel Bill Williams and his friends grouped about their pine knot nre under the j ttars of Colo rado. , Old Kit, the last of the trappers, withered, dried-up old man, ready to blow away like a leaf into the river of death a man whD had held possession of all this land of gold long years be fore sat moodily aside smoking big last pipe of tobacco. 8uddenly he started up, or rather half undoubted, with his hand to his ear. I ghat's that?" rGaess you've got 'em agin, Kit." 'Got 'em again? It was a woman, I tell you. But I forgot, ; you new fel lers can't hear like old Monnlain Kit Yes, thar it is aginl Ingin women up yonder! Ingin Women; in trouble. Somebody's after 'em," muttered the old man, as he again doubled up and silently sucked his pi pes tern. "Shouldn't wonder. : Snagly, the agent, is redhot after Madge, you know," squeaked out the little doctor. "Yes, Madge and her oll mother have got away from the Preservation again," growled Ginger, i " And is he goin' to; take Madge back' queried Kit, STmratheticalIv. as he again half-undoubled and shuffled forward. " Take her back, if it takes the whole United States army," said Ginger, savagely. ' ! " Poor gal, poor gal !" mused the old trapper. " Why her father, boys, was white. Yes. white as as-r-well now. he was white as the whitest.: And as for Madge, why, she's whiter herself than that agent is." The old man was full of rage, and stood almost erect. i " Now, you look here,"; and Ginger, like the bully that h was, came close up to the old trapper, " Snagly, the Indian agent, is a pard' 'of mine in a tradin' post. And you just go slow. If he wants that gal hell have her.' 'Have her, will he?i Well, not while old Mountain Kit can lift a fist, he won't. Now, do you' just stick a pin there." But,from the manner of the miners, it was clear that neither Madge nor any of her unhappy race had friends in that camp other than the old trapper. Suddenly Madge stood, or rather crouched, as a hunted wild beast might crouch, right there in their midst Of course Bhe had come inj through the narrow pass in the stone wall that had been thrown up theie by the long, strong arms of the now resting derrick, but no one had seen her enter. She had come as silent and sudden as the moon had gone. Her limbs were as supple as the panther's her footfall as light She looked to be only a waif a hungry tired beggar. She had; a spotted skin over ner enotuaer, a snort, tattered pe.t iicoai nung from her waist; her feet were naked and a storm of hair hung and blew about her shoulders as she crouched there, looking back, as if she iearea sne was followed, trembling, starting, quivering, scarcely daring to breathe. " Hello, Madge, what's the row now?" The girl did not answer. The stem and unfriendly voice of Colonel Bill y imams ana th hair nnaor rm tw faces of all Bhowed her at a glance that nos laiien among friends. - aiaage, wny don't you claim to be wmuj ana Biay witn lhj i,ifa.9 v have a right to do that, and they can't iue reotsrvaiicn f. ail added the colonel, more kindly. ' onouia sne open ner proud linn in utter the scorn she felt for a race who could treat her and her people as they were treated f onouid she stoop to say: "My mother is starving up yonder on the rooks only a stone a tnrow away, wnere sue -is niaing xrqm tne man hunters." Did it need any words to tell these men thai she would live or die with her mother and her mother's peo "Say, Madge, you could get a job down at the Hurdy Gordr houSQ to sing and dance if you'd claim to be white ; then you could get some clothes,1' urged the colonel as he looked at her thin, bare arms, while she still stood trembling, looking back listening, her nostrils extended, her pale lips set in silence. Ginger, meantime, had risen and moTed cautiously around toward the door or entrance through the great high stone Wall, and, before she could guess what it meant, he stood between her and her beloved mountains. She was a prisoner. The hard, merciless man laughed wickedly as he threw his strong arm before her when she was about to spring past him and escape. She bad not spoken yet But now she turned about, half threw up her hands in sign of submission, and for the first time stood erect. She was ts.ll, and, had she not been starving; she would have been strange ly, savagely, fearfully beautiful. Had she been well clad and cared for, she would at that moment have looked .the royal princess in body that she was in eoqI. Bat this wild rose, set thick wicn tncrns, was only a bud that per- naps would never blossom. These men all had seen her before. This canon, this laud, these mountains were her home, her inheritance. She had played when a child with the shiny bits of gold and silver that these strong men were going mad over now. Her people had galloped their horses over all this gold for a thousand years. But now the white man had come and' was digging, digging everywhere digging graves for body and for soul. Yes, all these men knew Made very well her pride and her recklessness. Not a man there that did not know how impregnable was this girl's virtue, how the scorned and despised them every one, too. Ginger sat himself down on a rock near by the pass in the wall and waited for Snagly, the agent whom he knew was after her and would soon be there. The girl moved about the , inclosure dimly lighted by the flaring pine knots, but did not speak. This was a wild beast that had been caught in a cage. She was gliding about as if to try the bars, to see how to escape from the cage. At last her eyes fell on a little uncovered tin bucket back among the buffalo robes and blankets. She leaned over cautiously and looked at its con tents. It was full of provisions sand wiches and a roast fowl for somebody's supper. The girl glanced up toward the ragged mountain above her. Then she measured the height of the stone wall before ier. Her black eyes gleamed with a terrible purpose. Her mother was starving up there. She was going to steal this, leap up and over that wall like a starving wolf and save her mother, who would die rather than surrender and go back to the res ervation. Old Kit, bent broken, helpless, had sat all this time back obscurely in the corner ; but his eyes, his every sense, had followed and understood her. He came out from his place and sat between the flaring and fitful pine-knot light and the little tin bucket But how could he help her, this man who could aot even help himself? The girl did not seem to notice him, or indeed to Bee any one now. She stretched her long slender arms jast onoe, as if to make certain that they were free ; she drew the thong that girdled her a little together, put the storm of midnight hair back a little from about her pierc ing eyes, and that was all. She had not spoken one word. She had not even deigned to look at the man who sat keeping watch at the narrow little pass through the great ugly wall. Only old Kit seemed to suspect her purpose. The miners talked in little groups together about their mines. They had forgotten the girl was there. At length she seemed ready. She threw her hand up to her ear as if listening, looked up the ugly cliff above her where her mother was hiding and starving, looked hard at the steep and savage stone wall before her, and then darting down like a hawk sho caught up the little bucket and leaped across the open space at a bound and on up the stone wall. Up, up I She stops. It is too steer) for her failing strength. The jagged quartz cuts her feet and hands till the white wall of rock is red. Her hands relax their hold on the sharp rock, and sne iaiis bacfc bleeding and bruised at the very feet of the man who had sprung forward from where he was keeping watch at the pass in the halt Now, what do you mean ?" called out the colonel1. "Told you sol" shouted Ginger, aa he took her by the hair and forced her to rise. Iniins will be Initna, boys." said the doo'.or, as he picked up and set aside the little bucket. "Now, I guess you'll help me keep her here till Snagly comes, won't you ? I seed you fellers lookin dark at me as I sat there, you in particular, colonel. Well, now, don't you see I'm right Inj ins is Inj ins. It's the cussed bad blood that's in 'em. The Inj in will out every time." " Yes, send the little cuss back to the reservation. Let Snagly have her if you like," said the colonel, as ho brushed the dirt from a bruised knee and limped around to the other side of the fire, for he too had sprung up and tried to reach the girl when he saw her about to fall. But whether to help or harm was not certain to any one. At mention of the reservation the girl became wild and desperate. She threw herself imploringly before the strong, bearded colonel and lifted her face as in piteous prayer. " Well, what did you tto and steal for?" Still the girl did not speak. But now she could not lift her face. Her eyes fell to the ground and she stool mute, motionless all bowed and broken be fore him as he accused her. " Madge, if you hadn't stole my din ner; if you hadn't done that, Madge, I'd leli you go. Yea, I would; hang it gal, I'm sorry for you; yes, I am, and if jou hadn't stole that little buoket my gal, Ida chucked that Ginger out of mai aoor oetore two minutes more and let you go; yes I would, Madge. But you see now 1 can't for you've stole." The trembling old trapper staggered forward, and standing between cried wildly: , She didn't steal I I stole it and giv it to her. "What, you you- honest old trap per, Kit?" , Yes, I I old trapper Kit Now let her go, won't your V Yes, I wilL Go, gal," and the) man pointed to the pass in the ugly wall. Just as he spoke there was a rattle of fall to drawn bootnaiis over the boulders in the little narrow pats, and onagiy, tne Indian agent, followed by an laser- of . the United States army, and two men with manacles , at their waists, entered the little inclosure. The Indian agent the man hunter with the United States army at his back stopped there and glared &t her. The girl lined her lace now in suent petition to every man there. One after on?, as her eyes met theirs, they turned away without a word, shaking their heads sullenly. Three centuries of hatred -toward the Indian was in their blood. Caught at last eh r triumphantly Chuckled the Indian agent u he at length came forward, followed by the men with manacles at their waists. He Btood before her, gloating at her utter discomfiture and helplessness. Now he should be bis his, at last body and soul. She stood up, tall no longer. Her eyes had lost tneir luster, ner long, bony arms hung down, low down, tired, so tired now. Her magninoenee of hair mantled her. ' Her breast lifted a little. That was alL What could she .have been thinking about?

"Caught caught! Why, mon, you rpeak of her as if ehe were a dog for the pound." The brawny Scotchman who said this had just unrolled himself from a pile of blankets back under the other wall, where he had taken shelter after a hard day's digging. He was a foreigner, and of a race slow to comorehend. He was now for the first time, since the fugitive had entered the in closure, getting pretty well awake. The azent only looked at the stranger and then motioned his men to approach. The effijer, who evidently did not like his work, was slow to obey his master, the Indian agent. " Oh. save me from that man from that man of all I" at last cried the girl. throwing herself before the kindly ofn oer. " 1 will die rather than be taken. Ob, you did save me once. You did help me once to escape" "Quiet 1 You will betray me and ruin all. I dare not help you, Madge, where the agent is. " Bat it is death to be taken.

This will kill her," protested the offioer. "Oh, she's just making out! Say. where did you Bleep last night 7 called out the red-neaded ruffian. The girl shrank from the monster and crouched before the stranger, as if he could help her.

"Oh, why is this ? You all can come and go at will. Bat I I am hunted down like a wolf V hy is this T " Bah, you Injin, don't take on like that" sneered the agent as he again ap proached. " Como, your mother must go back to the reservation. Don't you want to go back, too ? " rd rather die I" and with an instinct that saw something kindly in the face of this quiet but determined foreigner, she turned to bia again and pleaded. "Oh, sir, long, long ago my father lived and was rich in horses and gold in yonder mountains long, so long ago it seems, for I was happy then, and oh, so wretched now ! Long, long ago, and he loved me and called me Margie. Bat how, down at that reservation they' mock at me when I pass and call me Madge, Colorado Madge, Injin Madge.' Oh, I could kill them kill them, every oneT The Indian agent in the name of the United States was growing angry and impatient. He began to fear that pos sibly this girl might move this man's pity, and somehow at last escape him. He advanced closer and roughly laid hold of her shoulder. "Come, come now, I want to be gentle witn you. iiat remember I- am your lawful guardian and I must take you back. Come, go back peacefully under my protection.' The girl sprang from him and threw back her hair. Her whole form shook, but it was hot with fear now. ."Your protection! Your protec tion ! What is it ? To see my mother's1 people sicken and perish on the deadly reservation with only the Great Spirit to heed or to pity them ?

Re member, I don't take one more word of insult So come. And come right along now. The brute clutched her thin shoulder angrily, and threw.-her toward the two men with the manacles as he spoke. But the girl sprang back to the side of the stranger, and, half hiding there as the a?ent again attempted to take her, cried out in her desperation: "Lon t you touch me I Uon't you dare to touoh me, or I will kill you r "Nae, don't you touoh the lass!

He wanted to fight Snaglv, the Indian agent in the name of the United States, fell back before the lifted fist of the foreigner and the gleaming eyes of the half-crazed girl, and cried : " Giptain, I call upon you to enforce my authority.

The stranger started at this : he held his bead in thought, and Snagly continued : "No, yoi ain't on British soil here I" " Not on British soil. Not on brave old Britain's soil." The man said this as to himself, and then, slowly, ten derly, pitif ally, lifting up the now al most prostrate child, he handed her toward the agent saying : "Well, then. me poor lass, I'll have to give ye up. can't save you, lass, I can't Here, sir. lake her.

The girl started up with all the grate ful remembrance of her race in the single glance she gave her deliverers. and she patsed out with her faoe lifted to the cliff above.

Ridlag a TTIld Alligator. On last Saturday morning a scene took place at Lake Lochiocea Station, on the Peninsular railroad, which for genuine excitement and sensation will completely lay in the shads the best Spanish bull-fight on record. A party of men on the wharf saw a large elffg- tor about a hundred yards oat in the lake gently r exposing amid the ripple that a gentle breese was making. Same ol the party got into a boat, carry Ing with them a small harpoon book. and rowed out to the alligator, w ben in convenient distance the harpoon was thrown and with unerring shot made its way into the beast just behind the right fore leg. No sooner than this Was done, and while the alligator was raging in the waters in its most power- erful efforts to release itself, one of the party, a Mr. Posey, probably fifty years of age, leaped into the lake, swam to the rearing and surging monster, got upon its back, grabbed it around the neck and rode it to land amid the shouts of those who were for tunate enough to witness the exciting scene. When measured the monster was found to be ten feet six inches long. Strange to say, after Mr. Posey had backed him and grappled him around the neck the beast was almost entirely subdued. A few lunges and be quietly followed the tightening of the rope until he reached the shore, a tamer but greatly copf used alligator. His mouth was then muzzled and a rope tied around his belly, and it was hauled up on the platform at the depot When the afternoon train came along the passengers got out to look at the beast and its valiant captor, and then another scene took place quite as excit ing and extraordinary as the one in the water. Posey got on the 'gator to ride it for the entertainment of the crowd. After much tickling and spurring he aroused the animal into such a desper ate struggle for freedom that every body expected to see some one liter ally chewed up and swallowed by it In the melee it snapped the ropes that were bound around its long and brute- mouth, and then, making a dash for the ground, it was swung up by the rope, tied by its body and fastened to a post It soon broke this and fell heavily to the ground, when it putout for the lake. But it was pcaroely landed before Posey was on its back, when a struggle ensued between man and alligator that could scarcely have its parallel in the arena of acrobatic action. The crowd scattered at this appall ing scene, and men there who, if fist fonts with alligators were a feasi ble and practicable thing, would be strong enough for the business, ex claimed that the world had not treas ure enough to enter such a struggle. Yet in a few minutes Posey was master of the situation, the siurtan was con auered and lav aa auietlv under the grasp of its conqueror sa if, instead of 400 pounds of real live alligator, it waa the most cowardly cur. A shout of no tory went up for Posev. and parties went to his assistance, and again tying and securing the animal the job was completed, and the hero of the fight offered his prisoner in market for the mamg sum of llO.Flarldt Laoon. ITiluHtilltD Mull xnualin, French saiaaook and other sheer lawns that have no s'arch and are ot dull ivory white, yet are clearer than cream-oolor, are the fabrics used in imported dresses. Embroidery la Invariably employed for the trim ming, and to this it sometimes added some inexpensive lie?, or peihipe a little real Mechlin, or Valeneiennea in the new designs that have small figures with feathery edges, and show a great deal of the foundation mesh work. The embroidery Is most effectively used as scant flounces for the skirt, trimming is sometimes in many rows up the front with three rows extending au around U, and ample back drapery to cover lbs plain part of the back while other dresses have three cr four embroidered fi ounces, ro wide that they cover all the skirt but a short space tor hip drapery. The open designs for such work have been most in favor, but mere are aiao many flonnoee of the thicker work that can scarcely be detected from needle-work. For simple dresses this work is done In patterns of dots scattered about cr else in scalloped rowa near the edge, and is very effect ive. For more elaborate dresses there are larger flower, leaf and vine pattern, and some block. Greek ' squares and involved geometrical designs. The overdress of wHUe muslin is made without lining, but is worn over a high corset cover, the sleeves being the only transparent part of the corsage. The neck is cat in a low point in front or it may be finished high at the throat with a standing runs or .embroidery, ana ioiide this two slanding frills of lace. A pretty finish for a pointed throat is Sven also by a fichu of the mull that shirred down its only seam that in the middle behind ; its bua ends drawn closely down oc the shoulders sre lapped or knetted, or held by a ribbon bow on the bust iuat above the waistline in front This fichu may also be added to a high corsage to give the effect ot a full bust and sloping shoulders : the hich corsage has its standing fril's of embroidery and lace. and the embroidery may also be in lengthwise rows to form a vest, and extend theooe alon the edge of the pan i era that curve down on each hip from the middle of the front Another trimming that is quite inexpensive is a puff of the sheer mall around the neck and wrists wiin ribbons in it There may be frills of embroidery or lace below the puff, bat for a aim tie dress a prettv frill may be added of the mull doubled and bias, and this should be pulled apart ia pout like roundness, instead of being pressed flat Very narrow ribbon, only half an inch wide, may be knotted or looped with many ends in the front or on the left side ot th neck. The aeama in the waist and sleeves of these thin lawns should not be left "raw"; that la, with rough edge. They are neatest who made with the English beg seam that first sews the edge together, making the eeam on the outside of the drees. The garment is then turned and sewed on the wrong side, covering the eeam jast made as if with a baghence the name. The draped polonaise ia much used for white mull overdreese. The bodice is first fitted like a basaue, and .trimmed along its lower edgee with the embroidery in two rows, one turned up and the other down, or with a puff over a ribbon, and the drapery is added in length wie tucks on the hips and in front Below these tncu tne drapery will be quite fall, and ia raada still fuller by the frills of embroidery. This fullness ia carved upward behind. and disappears under the straighter breadths that are draped at the back. Another fashion omits the tneka, and finishes the top of the drapery with em- broiJery, which is then gathered on the edge ot the basque, i or very dressy occasions a large sxah bow with long ends of doubled white watered silk ia plaoed on the Lack ot the basque. but ordinarily a bow cf the muslin is used there. Another laantoa lor such dresses repeat the shirred basque of last summer, having a round yoke of many rows of shirring, with also shir ring at the waist line in xroni ana back. A satin ribbon at the waist ia paaeed under the shirring of the back, and outside ot the rest of the baeqne, serving a a belt The deep apron overakirt ia need with such a bssqne, and ia furnished with a deep flouaa of embroidery in front while the back ha a drawing string ot ribbon aero it making a paster pun at inelcp, while below it the xnualin ia slit np the mid dle, and falls in two square ends that are trimmed all around. The ribbon of the drawing string forms a great bow with many loop below the putt. The surplice belted waist is also nsed for such dresses, but preference i given to corsage that slip over the hips, defin ing their outline, and being enlarged below by panier drapery.
