riJIVATE THEATRICALS.
Aunt Martha's Story of on Inter
esting Drama.
"Iear me," IMn.i said, tossing asiile
a small paer-lotirul volume, "Uiis will
not d at all. It is stupid."
"Stupid!" Jennie cried. "Is that all?
All the rest are too lon, or too short,
or have too many parts, or some other
iiiMir:u. mutable obje'etion. ltut mere
stupidity!"
"lh)n,t be sarcastic, Jennie," Iollie
said, looking up from her book. There
were six of the cirls, and on table,
chairs and even tlie floor were sixty, at
least, of tlie books.
It was just as Dollie spoke that Aunt
Martha came in; tall, prim and stately,
but as sweet as a rose for all that, and
prettier at sixty than half the women
of this world are at twenty.
"What are you dointf?" she asked,
with mild astonishment.
"Solectinir a play for private theatri
cals. We want to help the fund for tlie
sufferers at the 1! street tire," said
Tussie, col lectin) scattered books in
one irreat pile.
"Private theatricals!" said Aunt
Martha, with a very odd smile. "It
is a lonr time since 1 took a part in
private theatricals. Forty years and
mure."
"You?" we all cried in chorus, for
Aunt Martha, although she never in
terfered with us, was well known to
disapprove of theaters and all that be
longed to them.
"The audience was very small," said
Aunt Martha, still with that puzzling'
smile, "and there were few jverform
ers. Still 1 tell you about it?"
"What was the play?" asked Edna,
perhaps hoping for aid in her perplex
ities. "'The Midnight Alarm," said Aunt
Martha,
"t an I get it?"
"I think not. It was composed for
the occasion and never written out."
1'y this time we had deserted the ta
ble and array of "acting copies" of
Mipular dramatic works and were
drawn up in a circle near Aunt Martha's
chair, keenly interested in hearing all
about it.
"It was when I was a young girl,"
said Aunt Martha, "and had Wen in
vited to be bridesmaid for my very
dear friend, Dora Uurke. She was the
only child of a very wealthy widow
who lived in Willow b'anks, and had
one of the most luxurious homes I ever
visited, l.ut it was in the country, ten
miles from a large cit3", where Mrs.
liurke owned another house in which
her winters were passed, but which
was rented to a lady who took Mrs.
Hurke aud Dora - as boarders for the
winter.
"So, when it was decided to have a
grand wedding, it was also arranged
that it should lie at Willow Hanks,
where there were many spare In'tl
rooms, and which could be reached by
carriages from the city. One peculiar
ity of the domestic life I must mention
here. Years before, Mrs. lSurke had
leen robbed by burglars, admitted to
the house by a dishonest servant, and
from that time she would have no serv
ant sleep in the house. A separate
building for their use was connected
by a covered way and fitted tip com
fortably. Here Mrs. Jones, wife of
the head gardener, kept house for the
gardeners, stablemen and maid serv
ants, who were summoned when want
ed by a lell from Mrs. Uurke's room.
A second bell, also connected with her
her room, was an alarm, only to be
pulled if the men should be wanted at
night for fire or burglary.
"The wedding was very grand, but,
while the festivities were at their
height, I was taken ill with a severe
pain that I was subject to. I tried in
vain to conceal my suffering, and final
ly whispered to Dora's cousin, Mollie
Hurke, that 1 must go to my room and
lie down. She wanted to go with me,
but that I would not allow, as she was
filling Dora's usual place in assisting
Mrs. Hurke.
" 'I will come in before I go to lied,
she said, and I slipped away unnoticed.
"My riKJin was at the end of a long
entry, a room I liked lieeause it com
manded a magnificent view, but it
seetaed lenely to me that night, going
there from all the light, gayety and mu
sic iu tlie drawing-room. There was an
immense closet in it, as large as many
modem hall-rooms, and in that was
stowed much of the 'rubbish' that most
families own , odds and ends whose use
fulness is over, but which are too good
to throw away. In this. I carefully
hung up my tine dress, slipped on a
woolen wrapper and crept to the lied,
having only the bright moonlight to
guide me. I could not sleep, tut the
pain wore away and 1 lay quiet, won
dering how soon the guests would
leave. Already Dora aud her husband
had driven away to the city, to start
upon their wedding trip, but the rooms
had been still filled w hen I left them.
"I cannot, te'u what made me think
then of the temptation for buiglars
there would In? in the house that night.
The family plate, usually stored in a
bank vault in the city, and only dis
played on great ocea-sious, was all
spread in the sup per-room. In the
library were Dora's presents, valuable
jewels, silver, lace and other costly of
ferings. "As if in answer to my fears, I sud
denly liecame aware that some one
moved softly along the entry, creep
ing, creeping, to my door, and so acnss
the room to the closet. As the figure
crossed the window, 1 could see that
the iutrudcr was a tall, powerfully
built man. He entered the closet, and
I could hea r him stealthily crouch down
in the corner, probably pulling over
him some of the articles on the floor.
"I dared not move. Alone, a weak
girl, far from tlie other inmates of the
bouse, I w& afraid be would murder
j me if 1 tried to get to the door. I lay
shivering one minute, hot the next, my
heart beating so hard I was afraid the
burglar would hear it- 1 cannot tell
liow loug it was before I heard Mollie's
voice at the end of the long entry, bid
ding some one good night. Even then
I was terrified. What were two girls
in the grasp of a man presumably
armed to resist arrest?
"As Moine ntered my room, dears,
the private theatricals commenced, one
actress for an audience of two. She
sjxike to me, and I moved my head un
easily, muttering like a person waking
suddenly in delirium. Her fears at
pnee took the alarm.
!"Oh. Mattie. Mattie, dear, she
cried, l had no idea you were so sick!
Fanny! she called, going to the door.
'Fanny !
"One of the maids, who was, I
learned later, making up a. bed at the
other end of the long entry, for an un
expectedly detained guest, answered
the call.
" 'Fanny, Miss Mattie is rery sick.
Mollie said. Tan you stay here while
I call Mrs. Hurke?'
"All this time 1 had been murmuring
any uousense that came first to my
lips, but now I said in French:
" 'Wait! I must speak to yon before
you send for Mrs. Hurke. I am not
sick.'
Oh, marm, cried Fanny, 'what
awful gibberish she do talk, to be
sure !'
"'Yes, she has fever,' said Mollie.
coming to the bedside. Hiet some cold
water, Fannie, and bathe her head.
" 'Don't start or scream, I muttered,
still in French, in a low tone, keeping
my head in motion; There is a man
hi.ling in the closet who has designs on
the plate and wedding presents, I am
sure. Can you ring the alarm bell in
Mrs. Hurke's room and get the man
servants here?'
"Oh! you poor, poor darling! said
Mollie, caressing me. 'To think you
have Wen lying here suffering while
we were dancing and enjoying our
selves! Hut you must have something
to take. Fanny, as the maid came with
a pitcher of water, 'bathe Miss Mattie's
head, while 1 see what medicines are in
the closet.
"I said there was one actress, and I
was wrong. Mollie lked coolly to
the closet, knowing the thief was
crouched down in the far corner Whind
some bum lies, and took from a narrow
shelf a few bottles, crossing the room
to read the laWls by the candle on a
table beside the led, and, returniug
again, two or three times, while 1
moaned and muttered, and Fanny
pitied and soothed me.
"Really, my dears." said Aunt Mar
tha, complacently, "considered as a
first aptiearanee, without study or re
hearsal, I must say that it was verv
well done. The last bottle Mollie took
back was put upon the shelf, and with-o-..
hurry, but quite naturally, she
closed the closet door and locked it.
"I kuew then, what 1 bad almost
doubted, that she had understood me.
" 'There is nothing here that will do,
Fanny.' she said, quietly. 'I must see
if Mrs. Hurke has anything. Dou't
leave Miss Mattie until I come back.
"Then I heard her go lightly and
swiftly down the long entry, aud my
heart throbWd almost to suffocation as
I wondered if the wretch in the closet
would burst out upon us. Aud all the
time I was keeping up the delirious
moaning and muttering. Oh, how long
the time seemed! Hut at last I heard
the sound of heavy feet, the confusion
of many voices, and. while Fanny stood
in open-mouthed wonder, spilling over
me the cup of water she held in one
hand, five sturdy men walked into my
room, headed by the upper gardener,
and all armed with pokers, sticks or
other weapons. The head gardener
alone held a pistol.
"Cocking this, he opened the closet
door and said:
" 'Suppose you come out! If you've
got a pistol, perhaps you'd Wtter not
shoot, 'cause what you'll get for
burglary what ain't actually done ain't
nothiu' to hangin', if you murder me.
And there's five of us, so you can't get
away.'
"Then he came out, sullen and utrly.
His first look was at the led, but I had
addeil to Fanny's amazement by sud
denly recovering and joining Mollie and
Mrs- Hurke, who had followed the men
into the room.
'"Oh!' said the ruffian; that s it. is
it? jibWrish as was giving informa
tion. If I'd a knowed there was a gal
on that Wd when I came iu I'd a
stopped her clack. I'd a strangled her,
that's what I'd a done.
"And then, my dears, I finished up
my private theatricals by falling to the
11 tor in a fainting lit in which there
was no acting at alL" Anna Shields,

Animals, as a rule, understand who

the dog's master determined to take

A Circular Rslohow,
Many of the lx-.t scientists and philo
sophers declare that a circular rainbow
is one of the impossibilities, and give
learned reasons in support of their
opinions. About two years ago this
idea was exploded by Dr. Fleming, who
oliscrved and made scientific notes of
one he saw in the Welsh mountains. He
says: "On SeptemWr :W, 1 s'.H), we
mounted Fiiisterrehorn, and while near
the top of the peak were treated to the
rare sight of a circular rainbow, the
phenomena lasting aWut half an hour
and formiug a complete circle.
A second circle was also visible. We
were near the summit of the peak when
the fir.t of the uartv observed it, and
from that poiut the face of the inoun- ,
tain is almost perpeudicular, giving a j
splendid view." 1
TOOK TO BEANS TOO EARLY.
A IfaMtoo Hoy Inhaled One and Haul It
Cut from Ilia I.uni;.
In the amphitheater of the Massachu
setts general hospital, Hoslon, on a re
cent afternoon, one of the operating
surgeons. Dr. John W. Elliott, showed
a t iloWVian a little c hild alxiut three
years old who had inhaled a Wan into the
lung, and on whom an operation was
performed for its removal. The opera
tion has proved remarkably successful.
The Wan, which was of the ordinary
size of a white Wan, had Wen inhaled
into the right bronchus, and. as the
right lung was thus shut off from re
ceiving its proper amount of ftir, t!se
danger of broncho-pneumonia with a
fatal termination lccanie imminent and
tracheotomy was pcrform-L The in
cision, alxtut an inch long, was made in
the median line of the neck, and after
going through the superficial structures
of that part the trachea was reached
and incised in a vertical line. The in
cision was made larg. enough to admit
a very long and slender pair of forceps,
which wen carefully passed down the
trachea and into the right bronchus.
A short distance Wlow where the w irul
pipe divides the end of the forceps
touched the Wan, which was liriuly

"There is a Colorado miner who is a

Heing the owner of mines he is enabled
to travel, and a few days ago he ar
rived in Chicago on his way home from
Florida. Just to Ik eccentric, says the
Chicago News, he lxti)rlit a chameleon
down south and had it fastened to tlie
end of a little gold chain, so that he
could wear it as a scarf decoration. 7"he
lizardish little reptile was aljout three
inches loug aud. like all of its kind,
changed the suakish color of its InhIv
when disturbed. The owner walked
up to the hotel bar with a traveling
man who had Wn "laying over" in
Chicago three days, raising his expense
a -ount anil other things. The travel
ing man did not see the thing on the
scarf until he had poured his drink.
Then he glared hard.
'What's that?" he asked.
'What's what?"
"That scarf pin?"
"I wear no scarf pin." The chame
leon llirted its tail ami crawled out on
the lacl of the coat, as the owner
brushed his hand toward the scarf.
"Holy scissors, it's alive!" shouted the
traveling man.
'What's alive?" and the miner again
brushed the little animal, which
crawled under his vest. Then he looked
dow n and said: "Now, do you see any
thing?" The traveling man stood, shaky and
pale, looking for the thing to reappear.
"No more liquor for me," said he, sud
denly, and made a rush for the elevator.
Hy the time the crowd broke into a

AN "ELECTRICAL" SPRING.
Shrewd llvvlrsi by W hich th ' tirjxrules '
Hers (iulled Surcrsafullr.
The Electrical Review publishes the
follow ing about a wonderful "electrie
spring. It was but a plain mineral
spring, but the cups that the patients
drank from were fastened by a brass
chain to an iron bar which inclosed the
mouth of the bubbling spring. You
were prevented from coming too close
by another circular iron railing about
eight feet across. The ground around the
spring was naturally moist, and it was
cither this ground or the iron which was
one of the ends of an open electrical cir
cuit. The cup held by the chain was
the other end- The person drinking
i. imply completed the circuit through
the body, and when he had finished the
attendant kindly and immediately re
moved the cup from his hand. The
drinkers always felt tliat "delightful
tingling sensation," and rejoiced that
they had found the fountain of youth.
Some imagined they even felt the new
blood coursing through their veins. A
small induction coil ingeniously con
cealed and connected with the cup and
railing was a cheap method for produc
ing that "invigorating feeling.

Prof. William Watts, assistant in the
field for the state mining bureau, re
cently had, according to the San Fran
cisco Examiner, an experience in Colusa
county that made his hairstand on end.
"I went to Colusa county to examine
a quicksilver mine in company with
another gentleman." he said, "and after
a ride of a few miles into the mountains
we reached our destination. The mine
hail bfn partially developed by a tun
nel run in about one hundred and fifty
feet, but work had Wen abandoned
many months Wfore. W e had proceed
ed but a few feet into the inky dark
ness of the tunnel when I, Wing in the
lead, struck a match to light a candle.
No sooner had the light flared up than
I heard the warning of a rattlesnake
and saw a big fellow coiled up at my
feet ready t strike, while further on I
saw numerous other squirming reptiles.
The match dropped from my hand as I
jumped backward several feet.
"Hz-z-t! Hz-z-t!
"Another snake sprung his rattle. I
had landed directly upon the second
snake and felt it wriggling under my
feet.
"Hz-z-t! hz-z-t! rattled another from
the tunnel side just by my face, and the
whole place seemed alive with the hor
rible things. The din created by their
incessant angry rattling was frightful.
We got out all right, but were badly
scared. Later a party was formed to
exterminate the big nest of snakes, and
large numWrs of them were killed.
The-unused tunnel was just the place
for them to spend the winter months
comfortably." Irof. Watts kills rat
tlesnakes with his long-handled geo
logical hammer, but says that when he
strikes a tunnel full of them nothing
short of a (atling gun is of any use

Character and Habits of Czax

A Monarch Whose Life la Wrapped

Kuraps.
A good illustration of the different
points of view from which men oliserve
the same question or condition of
things is afforded by some Koine recent
utterances by well-informed writers on
the present situation in Europe.
These writers, while lielicviiig a gen
eral European war to W probable at no
distant date, differ as to which of the
European rulers is the most likely to
berin it. A well-known tMirresjoinlent
of the Ijndn Times declares that the
issue of war hangs upon the life of
Emperor Francis .Joseph. Should the
emperor die. he would W succeeded by
his nephew, who is represented as a
vicious and i ncotnpetent prince. His
accession, the correspondent thinks,
would W likely to result in the disrup
tion of the Austrian empire, anil a con
sequent scramble by fJermany and
Uussia for various portions of it, from
which war would result.
An eminent Indon editor Wlievcs
that a European war detieiids utxhi the
caprices of the young Cierman emperor.
At present that restless potentate is
strongly inclined to peace, but he is sul
jift to frequent changes of mind, is fond
of the science of war, and any day may
alter his policy to a warlike one.
Still another writer, not less well
known, is strongly of the opinion that
the maintenance of peace or the initia
tion of war depends upon the will of
the Russian czar.
He asserts that as long as the czar
keeps a check on his ambitious soldiers
and statesmen no collision will take
place Wtwecn the powers. When an
event so momentous as a general war
depends upon the life or will of any
man, or of two or three men. the per
sonal qualities of those men Wcomc a
subject not only of deep interest, but of
much public importance.
The czar of Russia has long Wen
more or less of a mystery to the world
in general. His life is so secluded and
apart that even his own subjects can
know but little of him. lie is only seen
in public when he drives hurriedly
through the streets to his palaces or the
railway stations.
A recent description of the czar by
one entitled to Wlief in his accuracy
presents in a somewhat new light the
character of this mighty ruler, who
holds sway over so many millions of his
fellow-Wings, and by a word could
plunge Europe into war.
The contrast Wtween the czar and
his remote cousin, the young tierman
emperor, is a very strong, one. The
kaiser shows an almost morbid activity
of mind and Ixxly. He seems never to
W- at rest. He is constantly traveling,
speaking, reviewing, issuing procla illa
tions, devising iolicieS and working at
important state problems. lie clearly
desires to apjH-ar as a broad statesman,
an effective orator, and as a skillful
warri r.
The cz".r. on the other hand, is dis
eriled a' b.-ing v.'ry "slow minded.
His mind works with difficulty upon
the state oucslious v.hich come up lie
fore him. He finds it hard to make his
way throui tho mass of business
which his ministers submit to him from
day to day; he is said to work at his
papers often, until two or three o"cl.ck
in the morning, without having finished
his task.
Alexander III. did not receive the
srx-cial education usually given to
heirs to the Russian crown. His elder
brother Nicholas, who was the heir,
did not die until Alexander hail reached
young manhivsl. lVobably. if Alex
ander had Weu espe.-ially trained to fill
the throne, he would have found his
work less difficult.
One aspect of the czar's character
which will inspire tlie rcsject and lik
ing of Americans i.; his undoubtedly
deep anil devoted affection for his
family. His happiest hours are tho.se
which he scmls w ith his wife und chil
dren, and he is always relieved when
his royal tasks are done, aud he can re
turn to his domestic circle.
The marriagi-s of princes, which arc
usually dictated by reasons of state and
not by mutual affection. arc by no means
always happy ones, and it is gratifying
to sec so jxiwerful a ruler as the Russian
czar presenting to his jhn iple an example
of domestic happiness and fidelity.

A glance over a sportsman's experi
ence will fieihaps convey an idea of
what atill-hunting elk and cariltou
means when the animals have enjoyed
the doubtful advantage of a slight ac
quaintance with man's murderous
methods.
Now, first, as to the caribou a keen
nosed, shy, fast-trotting, sturdy fellow,
and right worthy game for any man's
rifle. Two varieties of thi-s species
the woodland and the barren ground
cariWu inhabit the American conti
nent. The woodland varietj- is found
in Maine anil certain extreme northern
portions of the United States, notably
a'oout the headwaters of the Missis
sippi river and in the extreme north of
Idaho. The barren ground cariltou
docs not generally range so far south
as the international Wundary. In
Canada cariWu are much more widely
distributed. They are plentiful in
Newfoundland, scarce in Nova Scotia,
more numerous in New Hrunswick,
abundant iu (Juelec and Labrador, aud
fair numWrs of them haunt the wilds
of northern Ontario (especially the
north shore of Lake Superior) and por
tions of Manitoba. In Rritish Colum
bia they alxmnd among the mountains,
and not infrequently great herds are
seen defiling from some canyon or mov
ing down some mountainside in Indian
file, and looking at a distance like a
pack train.
The Wst caribou-shooting may lie
had in Newfoundland and Kritish
Columbia, but CjueWc and North On
tario yet offer rare good sport to those
who like roughing it.
During the winter of M, says E. XV.
Sandys in Outing, I was temporarily
located at a point on the magnificent
north shore of Lake Superior, my com
panion Wing a half-breed hunter who
I xire a resonant Indian title too long
for insertion in these pages. When he
wanted to travel light he Wre the name
of "Jo," which will auswer for the
present. It was cold up there in the
icy breath of the tircat Inland sea, but
we were snug enough in an old rail
way construction log camp and had
fairly good sport with grouse, filling up
time attending to Jo's lines of trajis.
Rctivcen Sujierior and the "height of
land" is a perfect network of lakes and
streams, large and small; the country
L very -ougk and rocky, varied with
great barrens, muskegs and Wavcr
meadows. Vast portions are densely
forested, and others carry only gl.tw.tl3',
scattered "rampikes," showing where
tires have swept. Our headquarters
were the loff camp referred to, tiut we
ha l a temporary camp at the end of a
iine of traps some ten miles inland,
near the head of a chain of small lakes,
famous iu the annals of the fur trade,
l'rom it westward extended an im
mense barren for mile after mile,
bounded by a gruj'-blue wall of forest.
1 me night, w iule we were at the lit
tle cam), a heavy fall of snow re
dressed the hard-featured laiulscaiie,
and Jo and ! fell to discussing the
chance for cariWu. AWut daylight
we turned out, and Jo stood for a few
moments leading the sky and swee
i'lg the barren with those marvelous
aboriginal eyes of his, which could
count a band of animals farther than I
could see them, l'resently he grunted
softly and exclaimed:
"Dar um car' boo!" and pointed west
ward. I looked long and earnestly,
and at last made out a distant object
moving slowly over the snowy barren,
(citing the glass. I focused on it and
discovered that it was indeed a cari
boua lone bull evidently as no more
could W found.
After hurriedly feeding, we stuffed
our pockets with bread and meat, felt
that matches, pipes and "baccy" were
in their places, donned our snow shoes
and started in the direction of our van
ished game. "Car 1mm all right; feed
day ou moss. Rytneby find um more
car" boo," said Jo.aud I guessed that ho
liked the prospccL
It was a cold, gray day, a sharp
breeze blew directly across the barren,
aud now and then a few suowllakes
sifted down, hinting of another down
fall, though there was already more
snow than we wanted. Hut there was
little danger of anything serious, and
we didn't trouble about the weather.
After tramping for about three miles,
Jo discovered the tracks of the cari
Immi. but the Wast itself waa not in
sight.
Jo decided that he would work across
the barren in case the game had
doubled on its course, and leave me to
follow the track. "Me go cross, look
long um tree. You run track, by me by
tuctiW you find um car'lioo," and he
waved his hand, indicating that he
would cross and then scout along the
woods on the farther side.
I moved ahead rapidly, while Jo was
in the oreu. Wing anxious to get far
enough in advance of him to forestall
all possibility of his wind reaching the
game Wfore I got w ithin range. I had
followed the track until it was nearly
noon, keeping a sharp lookout ahead,
Wfore I caught a glimpse of the bull
browsinjr quietly near the edge of the
woods. A long look through the glass
told me that lie was a magnificent
fqiecimen, Warinsr a particularly fine
set of antlers, and that he was feeding
near cover which promised a compara
tively easy approach within certain
range. To obtain this splendid trophy
was my firm resolve, if patient, skill
ful "creeping" counted for anything.
Working carefully wi ll to leeward the
shelter of the dense timber was at last
safely gained at a point some half mile
from the game. I had already put in a
lot of hard work and was half wcariwd,
but the golden prospect sustained nc.
Once safe in cover the shoes were re
moved, and. gliding, stealiug. flitting,
shadow-like, from true, to tree, now
crouching in the line of aWwlder, now
crawling and wriggling painfully over
a snowy open patch of moss, I at last
gained the edge of the timWr within
one hundred and seventy-five yards of
my meat.
He was standing with his rump to
me, and his nose occasionally sought
the moss, only to W raised in a mo
ment and thrust into the wind while
th gentleman chewed a mouthful.
About half-way betweeu us was a
goodly dump of brush, overgrowing
some scattered Wwlders, while the
space Wtween my shelter and tho
brush was filled w ith little limiim icks
and hollows, showing where the low
growth, moss, etc., upheld the slow.
If I once gained the brush and m rvea
kept steady he should drop in his
tracks. I hesitated for a moment W
twecn waiting for a broadside shot
from where I was, or attempt in, to
crawl to the brush, then got dow n ou
hands and knees and Wgan the diffi
cult journey. The hummock werts
smaller and hollower when rea died
than they looked at first, and v. lien
half-way across the dangerous sp.- w it
became a question of wriggling u'ong
a la scrtietiL In this iwisition the
carilmu was invisible, but I had faith
in the wind, and was w riggling dogged
ly forward when from a clump of .josh
not twenty feet from my nose a pousn
walked quietly forth clucking soft !y to
itself in regard to my probable busi
ness. Here was a pretty position. Of course
I didn't dare flush the grouse for fear
of alariiiingtliecarilH.il, and for l ing,
agonizing moments I lay there in this
snow staring at that infernal bird,
while it eyed me dreamily and chiic'ded
in an exaspcratingly comrniser:.ting
fashion, until the cramp knot in my
leg grew hard as a baseball, 11 :d 1
fumed and rage.l and groaned inv. ard
ly. At last the fool bird satisfii .1 its
curiosity and trotted demurely a ay.
and when it had got to a safe dis; .nee.
I straighten d my cramp and wrij. -led
on to the tuft whence the grouse had
come. Inch by inch I raised my !icad
until a clear view w s possible of the
bull's feeding-ground he had van; .hed
as though the earth had swallowed
him! Hastily glancing up the barren.
1 caught sight of him walking smartly
along a good four hundred yards n-.vay.
He was not alarmed: he had nether
heard, seen nor winded inc. lie Lad
merely decided to move .iloug.
I!ut chance favored me in tho next
move. The carilmu, after going h tlf a
mile, suddenly turned across the bi.rren
and headed for the timWr on the far
ther side, at the same time ei'ging
slightly in my direction. This urse
kept him well to windward, and when
he finally approached the distant over
1 started for him again. It was a long,
hard task to cross the barren in a
crouching position, but finally 1 luan
aged to get Whind him safely and fol
lowed the track. I was now very tired,
for the -shoeing i.'as heavy, but tho
chase was leading homeward. I wafl
mad all through and game to fi, tit it
out on that line till darkness came.
IVescntly it Wgan to snow and i:i half
an hour the air was thick with soft
falling flakes. This was in my f ivor,
save that I sometimes lost sight of the
bull, only to rediscover him walking
steadily along headed direct for the
camp. My only nojie was that lie r.ight
halt to feed. He was going alio it as
fast as I could, and so for two .food
hours we reeled off the miles at an ex
ercising gait- At last the snow almost
ceased, but the air was darkening fast,
and I guessed we must W witl.ia a
short distance of camp.
While I was endeavoring to f. fure
out my exact whereabouts the bull
halted in an open space, lxirder. d on
my side by clumps of good cover, and
Wgan to feed. My weariness was for
gotten in a moment; luck had tt:rned
my way at last, for he whs in pel baps
the Wst position for me thut he i ould
have chosen in the whole barren.
Sneakingrapidly on as far as was snfe.
I once again doffed shoes and got i.ow n
ou hands and knees and craw led, and
craw led. and craw led, until the over
was gained, and my victim : tood
broadside on. not eighty j-ards away.
He was feeding busily and had no moro
idea that I was near than I h:.d of
shouting. Carefully I raised to my
knees and waited one moment to pull
myself thoroughly together for the shot
that must needs decide the matter. A
last glance at the distance, and at the
sight to make certain that it was ut the
lowest notch aud I thought to in;, self:
"Now, my son, I surmise I'll just set
tle for all this tramp. If I dou't drop
you"
"Whang!" the roar of a rifle sounded
from a clump to my left, a stream of
fiery smoke shot from the brush, the
bull gave a tremendous lunge forward
aud went down in a heap.
For an instant 1 was petrified with
amazement; then leajH-d to my feet
prepared to do I hardly knew what.
From the brush near by rose a lank
figure, a copjery face peered fortli,
and an unmistakable voice muttereu:
"tiess I down um car'lioo!"
"Jo! You blank, smoke-tuDnM
idiot, I've a blamed good notion t j put
a ball through you!"
Jo started with as much surprise as
his kind ever show; then his broad
mouth spread iu a diaWlical gri .v, for
he guessed every incident of the : tory.
"Me no see you. Sec um car' boo
cum loug. Me hide, tink niebbo kill
um car'boo. You lynx, you t reep
creep me no tink you chase um car'
boo." And that was all the comfort I got.
outside of the head and feet, vhicL
were all I wanted of the bull.
Eater in the evening, when I told Jo
of the all-day chase and w here I had
Wen, he grunted and said- "Clia e uin
car'lioo Wrr3' long time tweo-tou
mile dat way an back.'
"Yes, and I craw led a quarter of it,
confound you!"
"Um. dat so? Me go two, three,
four mile, look at trap, den run back
to mend shoe. Me stop by fire, lyme
by get um car'lioo.
"Yes, after 1 chaae him twenty-two
miles for you, you old squaw!"
A chuckling grunt proved that Jo
realized the humor of the thing in full,
and the way his eyes twinkled ai d tho
wrinkles curved round hU silent i.touttt
almost threw me into fits, for Ihcro
was no use in kicking against fat.i.
