ALEUT1AN CUALN OF FIRE.
Twenty Volcunlo Pen,U HelchlnK
Volumes of Smoko nnd Steam.
The revenue cutter Commodore Perry
returned yesterday from n northern sea,
where she has been confronted every night
for weeks by n gigantic line ot fire. As
Captain Smith expresses It: "Trie devil's
stokers have been stirring up the sub
terranean sea of flames that is supposed
to lie thousands of feet under the Bering's
be"" and as a consequence fully twenty of
the forty volcanoes in the Aleutian chain
are now active."
The line of islands lying betweentho
Bering sea and the Pacific Ocean belong
to the United States, and on them are-
probably the only active volcanoes lying
within American territory. Much has
been written of Bogaslov Island, which has
been throwing up a cloud of steam at
times for years, but it was supposed that
all the other peaks on this singular line
of islands were extinct craters only.
Now, as far as the eye can reach from
any point in the jjermg oca aujaceni or
even at a distance from the famous seal
Islands, the rising smoke nnd steam can
be seen in both directions. The eruption is
cenem.1. and so Terr lively that nfnlght
the airy columns take on the reflections ot
the fires deep in tne carin oeneaui tne
craters. Nowhere else on the globe can
such a sight be witnessed. According to
Capt. Smith it Ls as wonderful as the fiery
mvsterles on Hawaii.
In the daytime only the white smoke or
steam Is visible. As dusk comes Rnd dark
ness follows the wonder grows. The bright
er columns show up in the cold Alaskan
night first, and ns It grows darker other
vivid cttrl-s or smoke are to De seen nt
greater distance. Sometimes, when the po
sltlon of the observer, is advantageous, n
dozen or fifteen of these modern pillars
of fire are in sight.
It is thought that as the winter comes on
the beauty ot this strange scene will in
crease, but few will bo the beholders then,
for the cbifly Northern sea fs deserted by
the time November sets In. Even the
whalers will be away from the nightly show
of nature's fireworks, for they aro now
seeking shelter In the coves and inlets off
the Arctic, hundreds of miles further North
than these volcanos. While the Perry was
in the Bering, though, main of the time
it was misty and foggy, nnd often, even
at night, the view ot the tnlghty escape
valves were entirely obstructed by the
haze.
The shownf subterranean force is themost
noteworthy ever observed on American soil.
As proof nt the mighty power that Is at
work beneath the Islands a neck of land
has been forced up out of the sea between
Bogaslov, and old Bognslov and the two
Islands nre now one. It Is queer looking
land, one of the passes shown on the chart
as connecting the Bering Sea with the
greater ocean to the southward. The'
rocks in this neck are manifestly of
volcanic origin, black nnd smooth in sur
face, na If once melted.
"I have my own theory about the'enip
tlnn," said Capt. Smith, of the Perry, yes
terday. "I believe there la a lake of fire
far down in the earth that connects with
the outlets In those volcanoes In the north
nnd also with the volcanoes in Central
America. I am told that In the Central
American States the volcanoes are es
pecially active Just now. While there is
no great eruption reported, there is steady
nsTtivlty, Just such activity as Is observed
on that chain of Islands that I have been
looking at all summer. I believe that the
whole lake of fire Is now boiling and hot
ter than ever, and that this stale of great
activity beneath the surface of the earth,
perhaps many miles, is the cause nf the
Tising emnfcc and sleam in the north and
(Utlie same time of the clouds of smoke and
the flow of lava in the Eouth.'
The Comniodoro Perry was guarding
the sealing grounds and cruising, after
sealing schooners In Bering Sea. She
first had what Is termed the thirty-mile
zone around the, Pribylov Islands an-t
then the sixty-mile zone.
In hunting for the wary sealers in the
extensive spread of sea she was brought
close to the Aleutian chain at many dif
ferent points and had, consequently, an
excellent chance to observe the great
change that has been going on. There are
forty volcanoes on the line of islands,
and Capt. Smith is sure at this time it is
not in the least exaggeration to say that
half of them are smoking. San Frans

Effect of a Story..
Perhaps it was partly her fault.or maybe
It was all his fault. Anytvay, they had Just'

affairs In which neither one nor the other
will give in or ackmxvlidgt! being in the
wrong, but thinks it the duly of the other,
equally blameless participant, of course, to
rirst say, "I ara sorry." And It was their
first quarrel, too.
Then he lalU back on that old resort and
says,"I am going to the club." Hegetshis

and leaves her alone, to return, perhaps at
midnight, perhaps at dawn. Then she lakes
the usual course, throws htrself on a lounge
and cries.
He goes directly to the club. There he

Join them in their sumke, aud lt.ib.-rt Laug
don wonders who this rather stout individ

"Maj. Hunt, one or the most capital story
tellers we have had ror some time," answers
one ir his rriends, iu repiyiag lo a laughing
query Irom Langdon. "Walt until yim hear
one or his stories; you will thin, so, too."
"AiaJVir, this is my friend Langdou "
The major has hardly made himself com
fortable before he is asked to tell one of
his siorles, and after a while yields to Uie
entreaties of the crowd, and begins:
"There is not an army post in the coun
try, or in the world, that has not some
lime romance Inicruoveii In 11a liliiory.
But one which I especially remember is
one in which the faithfulness of a woman,
as I will call it, played such an important
part as to fix the story in my mind ior
ever. "It was about five years ago, at a
Western fort, that this incident liappcned.
We had there a young private who came, I
believe, from theNorltisomewhere. I never
didfind out exactly where bedldcornefrom,
and I have een forgotten his name now.
He seemed to be an indilferent sort of a
fellow, rarely joining the rest of the men
iu their larks, and keeping pretty' much
to himself. He was a handsome young
man, too, nearly six feet tail, if I remem
ber correctly. It was his mysterious man
ners which made us wonder what he did
with hlmscif in his spare moiueuis that is.
when his time was not requu-d by Uncle
Sam. We tried in vain to lind out. All
that we could ever learn of him was that
he was alwajs in bis mess room during
these Intervals, and bis companion pri
vates there said. 'He reads and reads all
the time,' that's alL Army life did not
seem to agree with bun very much, and
we could not see why he ever entered into
it. Still there was no one lo the fort with
nerve enough to ask him the qnestions
we were bo anxious to have answered. He
was the one mystery of the fort. Per
haps you will wonder why we officers
should take any interest In a common pri
vate, but before I am through you will see
why lhat was.
"What was also a mystery to us was how
he had managed to becomu well enough ac
quainted witn the quartermaster's daugh
ter to be seen occasionally out walking with
her. Her name, you must ruuernber, dis
tinctly, is Genevieve Hutle. She was the
belle of the fort. I do not believe to this
day that there was hardly a man In that
fort at that time who would not havo
stood even Indian torture if she had so
wished but don't be alarmed, gentlemen.
No such thought would ever have entered
that girl's mind. And then she was very
beautiful. Perhaps this had something to
do with it- Those among us who had
been sick had especial reasons tor feeling
grateful to her, for as soon as she heard
of a case of sickness she seemed to be on
pins and needles until she recei. ed consent
from her father to nurse the sick one,
whether he was officer or private. In
truth, her kindness and charitableness'to
all made adorers out of half the men in
the fort, and the other halt were dead in
love wllh her.
"Now, to get down to the story. One
day there came the announcement that
the Indians had gone on the warpath and
that the men should be got in readiness .
to leave at almost any moment to hunt.1
down a band of roving bucks who were"
thought to be in our neighborhood, before
they bad much chance of robbing and kill
ing the settlers. One morning the com
mand came, and a troop of cavalry was de
tailed to go gat, and If possible, bring
them in. The matter had now taken quite
a serious turn, Jor the few bucks who had
started tlie depredations on a small scale
had been Joined by theothers, until several
hundred of them had gone on the war
path In dead earnest. It happened that
the "mysterious private's' troop was the
one detailed to go oat first on a sort of
reeonnoiteriiig trip, and If on investi
gation it was thought necessary to send
out more men they were to return for re-
enforcements.
"It wasa busy see neattheforttbntmorn
lng. Soon the bugle sounded, the men
leaped Into their saddles and moved up to
thegateof tbefort. Itwasaproudmoment
for the men who composed that Iroop, for it
was their first actual expedition after an
enemy. Then came the sound ot the buglo
again and the men werenff, with the cheers
of their comrades ringing in their ears.
"We In the fort bad many anxious hours
that day nnd night, wondering how the ex
pedition would turn out, though we little
thought that there would be any serious re
sults. They would probably return, we
thought, with the whole band of redskins as
prisoners. We had no idea that the red
devils would dare defy them or much less
fire on them.
"Daring the nightaterrlblcsnowstorm set
In, however, and we kept anxious watch to
see if Ihey would give up the chase on this
accountandreturntothefort. Butno. The
night passed away and dawn still saw no
trace, of the. men. The storm seemed to be
come more furious wtlh the advent of day
and the blinding flakes made it Im possible to
see many feet outside the fort. Then misgiv
ings regarding the safety of the men began
to take form. We had no wahnost forgotten
about the Indians and our only thoughts
were of the men nnd how they would man
age to return to the fort In this terrible
storm. About noon there was a lull In the
wind nnd snow and couriers were sent out
to see if any trace of the troop could be
found. They might be wandering a few
miles outside the Tort, we thought, unable to
find the way In. The searchers returned,
however, after a fruitless search, saying
that it was impossible to find any trace of
them, not knowing exactly where to look for
them. The ground, of course, having been
covered by the snow storm after their de
parture, it was impossible to follow in
their tracks.
"About 3 o'clock In the afternoon, how
ever, we -were rewarded In our watch by
seeing a dark mass off to the west, and ns
It drew nearer a shout went up from the
watchers, as we discovered our mlS3lng
troop.
"When the men rode Into the fort again
they were plied with questions as to what
they had done during the terrible storm.
Rut the queries were cut short by the an
nouncement that they had been pursued by
at least 300 Indians, who had poured bullets
into the little troop for awhile, and that
one man was missing altogether. Then for
the first time we noticed that many of the
men were covered with blood. They had
not been out of the fort five hours, they
aid, when they were attacked by a band
of redskins most unexpectedly, for they
bad no Idea they were so near the fort.
They seemed to have been waiting for
tbem, for their retreat back was cut off by
half the band, while the rest kept up a
fire on them from ambush. They managed
to get out ot It without the loss ot any
men, however. A hot fire bad been kept
up on both sides while the retreat lasted,
and several on nor side bad been wounded,
and, as some of the men insisted, the In
dians had lost quite a few to the nappy
bunting grounds. Tney at last gave np tha
chase when the storm set In. The 'mysteri
ous private was missed wheu the troop
emerged from a strip of woods about
twenty miles from the fort. He was
wounded during the fight, aud had evi
dently given up the flight from exhaustion.
While the men vrere telling Ihls we stood
about and wondered what would be dona
to find the poor fellow, who had now un
doubtedly passed Into another world.
"The storm had again commenced with
seemingly added rury, and we realized
what a dangerous undertaking It would be
for any one to set out with the intention
of finding the poor fellow's body. We re
tired to our quarters a.ler hearing no end
of narrow escape storks from some of tha
privates, to await orders from the com
mandant as to the nett move.
-We tad nil given up the Idea of going
after the body by nightfall that is, all tut
one.
"Before my time for arising tli next
morning there came to my ears the loud
est cheering, mixed Willi shouts, that I
have ever hcird in all my lifetime. I Iias
tlly dropped Into my clothes and ran out
loser wual w sup. Ne.ir literate I saw
almost the entire population of the fort,
so it seemed to me, most of them engaged
in cheering ami shouting over somelhlng.
Before I reached the crowd it parted and
two persons rode toward we the 'mys
terious private" and Genevieve Hutle. As
she passed me-, standing almost glued 10
the spot with surprise, sl.e called out.
'Pleasant morning, major," Just as though
she had come in from a morning's pleasure
ride.
"That girl had actually ridden ont of tha
fort at aawn to rind that young scamp,
who did not seem to be hurt at all, save
for a few scratches such as the rest of tha
troop had received. She had met him, for
utnatciy, riding toward the fort, or God
knows what might have become of that
brave girl In the snow. It surprised me,
perhaps, to see her so hppy after such, a
dangerous undertaking. But that was, ot
course, natural then, as I did not know
what had passed between them during
that ride.
"During the alm-nce of the young fellow
one of his comrades had cheek enough to
examine his erfecta to find ont who he
was nnd to notify his relatives of his death,
so be said, but, as I believe, to find out
what the deuce it was that kept him so
busy during the evenings. But the big
stories the man expected lo tell of whit he
found are atlll untold, for he found 'only a
lot of books, principally law books, news
paper clippings of testimony In trials, and a
lot of other useless trash," ns he expressed
himself. What the- deuce the fellow was
doing with these was more than he could
imagine. Then a greatlight burstupoame.
Imagine a private in the service of Uncle
Sam giving up all the pleasures of army
service very few there are for the sake
of studying law. and you have a view of
our 'mysterious private,' with the mys
tery cleared up.
"Well, as you have perhaps already
guessed, they both left us a few months
later. The young fellow's enlistment ex
pired, and I gues he was pretty tired of
army life. He went to New York, I be
lieve, taking the belle of the fort wltnhlm.
I have strong reasons to believe that this
was settled during that ride into the fort.
I heard of him once since then. One of
his friends at fort said he had quite a law
practice down East here.
"The Indians were rounded up afterward
and subdued. They were scared, I guess,
by whatthey had done, and"
"What's the niatter. Longdon. not going
already, are you? This story did not effect
you so seriously, did it? Why, man. I act
ually believe there are tears In your eyesl"
"Well, no but I really have to go now.
I have an appointment at.hi me and I've cot
to go now, or I am liable to be late."
Whether Robert Langdon had an appoint
ment at home or not docs not matter much.
Sufficientis it tn say that hedldgodirectly
home, where he found his wife on the
lounge. Just where she bad thrown herself
as he left to go to the club. A sob greeted
him as he approached her.
"Genevieve, can yon forgive me? It
was all my fault, and If you'U forgive
me, I'll never do it again."
She turned up her tear stained face to
him and he bent over and kissed her,
wondering how it ever entered into him
to be so cruel.
"No, it was not yonr fault, it was mine.
I actually drove you to that horrid dub,
when I know you den "t care to go there."
"Well, we will not fight about that
Just now. Do you remember Major Hant
at the fort? 1 heard him tell a story at
the dab to-night story of how a young
girl at a. Western fort, a few years ago,
rode out Into the snow to rescue a man
who had got lost from his troop, and how
she brought him in safe and sound. Shall I
tell it to you? I remember It, word for
word."
"No, yon need not, and If yon're not
going to stop. your everlasting talk about
