Since then a immense improvement has been ef fected la arms of precisioa, and it is bs licred that in future engagements tho proportion of wounded will be greater than heretofore, but that the wounds will be lest severe, as bullets, owln-r to their small site and high velocity, will often pass through bones without splin tering them. It is estimated that about twenty per cent, of tb troops will bo wounded in the next campaign, and that a little more than three per cent, will be killed.

The dint occupies their atten tion to a large exetit. It fills their mouths, and eyes, and nostrils, and clings to their hair and cars in much profusion. It is disagreeable very; and the man who has enough spirits left io try io aeep up ine conversation is voted an ass by his fellow-passengers. They were all very friendly only a sh. rl time ago; but they ba'e eaoh other with a bitter hatred just now all on account of tbe dust. l)ut is a great destroyer of good humor. Somehow, the dust, doesn't rise very high, or else the driver and the passenger on the box don't mind it, for we can hear tbem talking. Old Ben, through some unseen but easily imagined in fluence, has relaxe I from his usual taci turnity, and is quite communicative to tbe beardless, boyish-looking youoif chap who got on back at Alpena ard is soaring tbe box with him. As the stage reaches the levtl and rolls into the shadows of the mountain and the tall pines, Ben points with tbe whip to the mouth of tbe narrow pass leading out of the canyon a quarter of a mile away, and remarks.

N . This is my part of the story. Of course, there were quite a a umber of tar people present, iaciudiaa? tbe southful hirhwavtnaa and his canabla assistant, aad they, also, have a claim nd the above narrative. I did not mean Oiai I owned it; what I tried to say was ihat that la t Via amIb n. nf k - I'rora which come this veracious tale that shown that my part was-entirely a pa Vive one. Perhaps we bad better call that portion of the story the gentlemanly roea ageet a, beeanee begot about every thing nise there was to get. The rest is Ilallegn'a. . Haliegaa tod I were traveling ' to gt&sr,- sa4 i via i! !cmIwor rather, an odd notion of his that en abled tas to resu.ee our journey to Den ver after the road-agent inciJenL This odd notion was in the form of a thia chamois insole, which he wore in his left loot, and which, in addition to a card fifing directions tor the disposition of his body in cae be should be sudlenly called hence while a in oar " atranzert. contained a fifty -dollar bill. It Was an ordinary ilfty-dollar bilL but whew Ter ence flaihed it before my ibuzled eyes in tbe hotel at Merrill that night. I was quite sure that it was larger and more valuable than tbe opinion of a New England hired mau. It took u to Lead ville, anyway, and that was all we could reasonably desire. But for the rest of the story It was about two years after the road- agent affair, in which we lost almost rverything but our good names, and the clothing we wore, when, one day, was thunder-struck to-- receive llallezan's wedding card. It was the first time I hid beard from him in a year, and had any one else told me Terence Hallegan was a marrying man, 1 should have de lided him; but when Terence himael,in his own peculiar chirogiaphy, directed to man envelope containing such start ling news, all set forth in the highest style of the engraver's art well, it was too much,' aud I went down into the camp, where there were a full score of Terence's fricuds and acquaintances to toast bis memory and console with each other. And gnef was oar lot, until the day Jewctt struck it" in that bole he had been pegging away at, over on the other side of tho gulch, and excitement reigned supreme. In the midst of tho confusion, tele grams came and went, flying brought and sent by' special courier to and from the office at Sunrise, niue miles away; and, one day, came one for him who sits here burning tbe nocturnal kerosene. It was from Hallegan, who was now liv ing in Chicago, and summoned me' to hasten to that city, where I was needed to assist in closing a transaction involv ing the snlc of some mining property in which Terence and I were interested. Terence met me at the station. Ho looked remarkably well, even for a per son whoso health and spirits had always been of the very best, and I told him so, adding that in deponents opinion ho must have drawn a capital prize in tbe matrimonial lottery. He smiled happily, and took my arm to walk outside the train incloaure, as he said: That I did that I did, me bov: lust wait till you see her, and youll be lure of it." He called a cab, gave tbe driver some brief instructiona.and leaped fa after me. We rode several minutes in silence; then Hallegan turned to me in a rather em barrassed way, and said, la a strained tone: "Billy, me boy It's very near dinner time at our house and there a no time for explanations. Only if you think you've Ken ray wife if her face is fa miliar please don't mention it, or act as though you noticed it. I'll explain after dinner.'' I acquiesce J wondcringly, and won dered yet more after I had met Mrs. Hallegan, for I was quite positive thit I bad never seen her before, and there was ample opportunity, during the course of the excellent dinner we presently sat down to, to study her. 6hc was slightly above the medium height, and of a per fect,, though rather slight, figure. Her hair and eyes were dark, setting oS ex cellently her cleat olive complexion, and her features were all that an artist could deal re. bbewas hardly what one would call a beautiful woman, however. Handsome" would be the better word or, perhaps, itrikiog." There was something about tbe firm set of ber mouth when not speakiug, and the strong, rather masculine chin in which, oddly enough, thero was a charmingly feminine dimple that caused this effect, I think. ' One would never have taken Mr llallesn for tbe daughter of the little, white-haired, sweet-faced old lady who sat opposite me, and whom she ad dressed aa "mother." Dinocr over, the ladies rose to leave an. u, smiling over the broad nint lerence had just thrown out concerning a desire to smoke. As they reached tbe door, Mr. Hallcgau turned and bowed mock ingly to ber husband, whose hand was just reaching for the bell. 4 'I hope, Sir Terence, that tbe cigars may prove dry company. Then, with a bright senile, she vanished. I flopped into my chair, breathlessly. Where tad I seen that mocking bowl Then, suddenly, there came before me that little scene in the mountains two years since; the dust, the near, the sleepy cowboy insid the coach, the dspper little chap who so politely took our money and watches, lie bowed just that way when he finished his work and departed. "Her brother, I thought "black sbeep,bIot on family escutcheon. How much they resemble Well, me boy!" Hallegan was looking at me quizzically through the smoke, we having lighted our cicars meanwhile. -1 tunnoee I looked embarrassed. Of course it was all rot; tbe idea of there being any con nection, however remote, between the stately creature who had just left sn and the IitUe rascal who cagtneered that hold-up I Uallegaa spoke: "Billy, me boy, I wont make a abort story any longer than b necessary. Toa remember the little fellow who held tm up, two jeers agot . Of course I do." Tee, very lihely. Well, I fancy 14 better begin at tbe beginning. Three years ago, a young fellow named WITbsoe, who had been, employed as cashier by the L. aad A. Stage aad Express Company, got into trouble over his sccosiata. The BaAnager Robin son charged him with a shortage amounting to ever! taoaxsnad dollar.

The Uobinsons were toj strong for her. 'About teas tune Air. Wilson and her younger daughter were obligod to bo South on account ot ill health, leaving the elder daughter, who was studying medicine, here in Chicago. Not long after this, the hold-ups on the different lines of the L. and A. began. For the first few times there was only one road agent a little chaii, Inn a nervy one. who got talked about by the Daoers a good deal ; but pretty soon there were others, until a band of about eight or nine had organized, under the little fellow's leadership, and the made life a burden to the L. and A. people. It made no difference what precautions the company took, or bow ruiny guar is it employed; the road aieiAs were too' sharp, and the boldest kinf of hold-ups were successfully made sod, by Jovel It 'busted' the company's business, The L. and A. wasn't a heavy concern, of course, out naaaiwiys maae a goou aeat of money. The frequent hold-ups on its lifloj, though, proved a settler. It wasn't long before nobody would ship or travel over any of the L. and A. Com pany's lines unless actually obliged to, and tht company was kept pretty busy settling the losses of its customers. Theo( came the crash, and somehow people be gan to suspect that the Ilobinsons bid not run things as they should havo been, handled, and tbe stockholder investi gated. Old Kobinson died in disgrace shortly after ward. The' joung man took all he could lay bands ou and skipped, but was caught at Santa Pe. He's where he should be at Canon City.. Tweedy got off on a technicality. About seveu or ci-ht months after we were held up, a stage full of fcllos, in cluding myself, were stopped and re lieved one afternoon,- about ten miles from Millikeo, on the old Mule -shoo Trail. The yoioj fellow was one of the robbers I knew him in spite of his mask. There were only four of tbe road agents oa this occasion. 'They pulled out, leaving u orders not to touch our arms (which they . had stacked on the ground) for twenty min utes, under penalty of gettiog shot. But one of our party was a devil-may-care chap, and no sooner were tbe bandits gone than he walked right over to the pile of guns and picked his out, remark ing that he 'didn't believe there were any road a rents around fust then. And there weren't. Well, the rcsutt of this fellow's fool- hsrd nrss was that we concluded it would be m ney in our pockets to get on the trail of those four road ajents, so we started after them, separating a little dis tance from each other. We followed them all the afternooo, but couldn't find a trace. You know how tbe old Mule-Shoe Trail is f Well, tbe driver had gone on, agreeing to meet us on tbe other aide of the Shoe it is only three or four miles across. I wss just about making up my mind to -join tbe other fellowa,and had stopped to think of the best way to cross the creek, when I heard a queer sound, like a woman sobbing. 1 looked cautiously around, and there, within two rods of me, was th? young road a,xot, crjing as tf his heart would break. There was nobody else there, it was plain to be seen, so I quietly sneaked up and re quested him to throw up his hand. "Did you ever bear a ' woman scream at the sight of a mou? That just the way this young fellow screamed when he saw the morale of ray gun aad I, as soon as I saw the scared, tear ful face turaed to mine, knew as wetl a know bow, that the famous bandit known as Foxey was only a woman. She teemed to trust me, somehow, aad pretty soon 1 had tbe whole story irons ber. Then I sat down and talked to bar like a brother! and the result was that acxt dry the road agents missed their leader, sad, inside 'of a fortnight.
