But may not be beguiled From thinking of that dear one. With dull heart, aching sore: Jdy own, my vanished loved one. My soul's light evermore My poor lost love t UP THE FLUME. , It was the fall of the year, and the ripened glory of autumn was over the far southwestern town. The streets were yellow with the golden beams of the sun; beams that crept up as the day lengthened, and mingled with the purple of the mesas. The morning was so beautiful that Sheriff Oifford, as he stepped into the post-office, whistled a familiar air, with nappy enjoyment of life in general and the weather in partienlar. But his ex. nberanoe was checked by the appear ance of a man whose dark face wore a sinister look, and who was known as Pedro, the Mexican teamster." Sheriff Oifford knew that the fellow bore an evil reputation; that deeds dark and dire had beou attributed to him. But heretofore he had been cun ning and stealthy, and no accusation eould be proven. But this morning he appeared possessed of a spirit just the reverse, for when Sheriff Oifford in quired, "Why do you carry that gun, Pedro?" he replied with bravado, "I am going to kill Hercules, the Ranger, on sight I" Gifford was startled by an exclama tion of such import uttered in so free a manner, and by a man not given to jesting. I wouldn't say that, Tedro; put up the weapon; you do not need it." His reply was vindictive and deter mined. "I have sworn to kill Heroules, and I am going to do it 1" 'Don't talk nonsense, Pedro I Give me that gun and Ray you are only jest ing, or I shall bo obliged to arrest you." Pedro knew that ho must yiold to Giti'ord's authority; he passed over the gun, cunningly remarking as he did so: "Pedro is no fool ! When he is in earnest he keeps his own counsel." Oifford, much relieved, replied: "Take my advice, and do nothing that will lodge you in my quarters. " With a characteristic shrug of his shoulders, the Mexican went into the Street. Sheriff Gifford was troubled even after the assurance given him, and he sought out Hercules, to warn him to be on his guard in case of . treachery on Pedro's part. Around a corner came a man of colossal height and proportions. He was six feet five, with shoulders straight and of great breadth ; graceful, sinewy limbs ; head finely formed and hair closely cropped. A face that conld wear a fierce, cruel look or a kind and genial one, just as the heart throbbed to the man's untu tored nature or to his spasmodic fits of gentleness and humility. Bexsause of his extraordinary size he was called "Hercules," and because of his roving life, the "Banger." He was walking along with a smile en his lips. Like Sheriff Oifford, he felt the exceeding beauty and splendor of the morning, and thoughts generous ana noble prompted him to kindly deeds. He had taken a sobbing child up in his strong arms and soothed it to quiet. He had restored the fallen bundle of an old woman, taken her to her home, and as he said "good-day," slipped a five dollar bill into her trembling hand. He bad taken a sa loon keeper to task for selling liquor to a youth whose refined face spoke elo quently of a childhood of Christian training. The lad told Hercules that he had come "out West" and fallen into evil ways. "Why not go home again, young ster r "Can not do it ; haven't got the money," was the terse, hopeless reply. "Is that all ?" said Hercules. "Here, take this purse and what it contains ; tht coach is just leaving." Before the boy could realize his good fortune he was abourd and off for the punt, Hercules sauntered on in a ten der, thoughtful mood until he wiu accosted by Sheriff Gifford. "Glad to meet you, Hercules j I do not know whether this commuuicution ban weight or not : Pedro, the toa:i ster, has said that he will kill you on sight, or, ut least, before sunset." iustuutly the blood of lloroules wan on lire. But his tone was quiot, uud the sheriff was deceived by it. "Pedro said that, did he ? Well, we shall see !" Theu he passed on, and in a lonoly by street encountered Pedro. Before the teamster oould make a movemcut Uurcules said : "Hands up, Senor Pedro I" , Pedro was not a small man, but he appeared so in contrast to Hercules. "Ho you are ready forme, Hercules?" "Yes, and I will relieve you of that revolver. Now march in frout of me 1" They mot no one, and at length Her cules and his prisoner entered a cheap enling-house, and the former asked for a private room setting at rest all doubts of the proprietor by ordering dinner for two to be served there. Dur ing the meal Heroules interrogated Pedro as to his reason for the threat ho had nttered Against him. "Because," sullenly replied the man, "I heard that you had come into towu to peach on mo ; about that murder case, you know," "les, I know about it; but yon should have boon sure of my going to inform ou you beforo you said what you are sorry for now." Pedro Rhivered; he understood what tho words implied, and the question that followod did but increase his fo.tr. "How ninny men havo you killed in yonr time, Podro?" Despite his roluctance to commit him self, Pedro felt corapolled to reply truthfully: "Eleven." "And you thought to make me the twelfth. Ha! hal ha!" laughed Her cules. "You are too small a man for that. Now that you have had your dinner take that violin and play forme. I am fond of innsio. Sen that you play until I bid you cease, or I shall play you a tune with this six-shooter." Pedro obeyed with alacrity. For two hours the strains of mnsio echoed throngh that adobe building. Spanish, French, German and Scotch airs. Then Heroules said: "Give me something American; the national airs, for instance. Don't say you are tired. It is not sunset yet." The Star Spangled Banner, Yankee Doodle and Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean, with and without, variations. Then tho war songs; then songs senti mental and pathetic. Finally the Dead March. Pedro's arms ached and his fingers refused longer to guide the bow. The musio had rippled on without ces sation since one o'clock, and now the sun was sinking slowly behind the horizon. Hercules was sitting apparently asleep. Pedro thought to take advan tage of this indifference, and gave an agile spring toward the relvolver rest ing close to the hand of Heroules. But the latter's apathy was only assumed. The rage, the brutality of his nature had been aroused by the cowardly threat of the teamster, and he had re solved to kill him from the moment he heard of Pedro's similiar intention to ward himself. All the afternoon ho had been playing with his victim, and Pedro was conscious of it. Now the time for which Horoules had waited, the moment before sunset, was here. The conflict was strength against agility; the armed against the unarmed. It would be a diflloult matter to dis criminate as to which of the two men was the coward. The same spirit would have been displayed by either having the advantage. Next morning Sheriff Gifford said to the crowd gathered in his oftico: "Yea, poor Pedro 'went up tho fluuio' last night. Ho was killed by Hercules the Itangur. It was a shock in;;; ufliiir ! But I am confident now that he would have killed Horculos had the latter not gotten tho drop on him." IjOC'tlHtS. Locusts are offered for sale in tho markets of Arabia, Syria and Egypt. The African bushmon cook them by making great fires. The locusts fly into the iiame, their wings are burned, they fall and are roasted; then the bushman draws them forth, eats, and is happy. Some Europeans do not fanoy their nutlike flavor, especially at first, while others find them quite palatable. Lady Anne Blunt tells of riding through a part of Northern Arabia where a swarm of locusts had lately passed, leaving their dead and strag glers behind them. The camels ate these as a relishing morsel with their provender, and her greyhounds picked them up all day, eating a great many of them. She says they were regularly used in camp as a part of the day's ration, and thought a very fair substi tute for vegetables, their flavor being somewhat like that of wheat still in the milk. After trying the many different modes of cooking, all the Europeans agreed that they preferred them simply boiled. When cooked, they took the creatures daintily by the wings, pulled off their long legs, dipped them in salt, and "ate them with much relish." Lady Anne, when she first tested them. tnougnt tnem "fairly good, but soon came to consider them "a most excel lent article of diet. " During her visit to Arabia many of the tribes were wholly dependent upon locusts and lamel's milk for their food. WISE AND OTHERWISE.
