His wife alone knew the truth; he would not dare to question her; he would never know the truth he would doubt her al ways. From that time everyone in Treport remarked that Master Fournier had rown taciturn; they askitl his wife the reason, but she replied evasively that she did not know.

He often returne.1 to Treport on Sunday morn ing and left ao-.iin the same evenin" without, a night's rest One week he came back on Tnesdaj-, and the news spread that the St. Lau rent had brouirht back the corpse 01 a drowned man.

Farly the next morning a funeral pnees-ion traversed the village and b re to the little church the remains of the unknown sailor found by the St. Laurent. J'.ehind the colVm walked the s tilors of the St. Laurent, their master at their head, and behind the men came the wives or mothers of the sailors. The religious ceremony was brief, hut respectfully followed, and the un known dead was conducted to the ..metery by the great family of sailors of Treport, who honor themselves in thus honoring the remains of others. .

The sun had drunk the last drop from ihe slough bottoms, and the mud beds were criss-crossed with cracks till they looked as if they never would hold water again. At last the sun had, set, and. tired out from a long day's hunti lg, I tethered my thirsty horse and lay down myself. I hail bur rowed with my heel and my knift fully eighteen inches below the en st of mud. but had failed to find water.

The wind, which had barely waved the spindly grass when 1 had laid down, w as now blowing quite strongly, and a dense, black smoke rolled lore it along the prairie and envdoped everything hi obscurity.

Suddenly I was aware that we were struggling through a heavy growth of rank grass, and then we plunge J into au empty slough hole! V..v.-r shall I forget the moment v hen Pete's feet struck with ....I ut ter into the sticky mud hal'-dozeu frantic plunges he made be fore giving in, or the moment I g.aneed round over my shoulder to see how the buffaloes would fare.

Against the glowing background 1 could see the vast herd surging and rolling up behind me like a tossing sea, as the huge heads of the buffahn-s wen? lifted or sunk from view Iveneath the cuininon surface of their foam-flecked backs. It was magnificent, but it was terrible! "What would Ive my lot when overtaken?" I asked myself. la my despair I looked along the line for Peter, without for one moment ex pecting to see him, but he wis t here, struggling along just in front of the foremost buffaloes. 1 knew in an in stant that 1 could look for no assistance from him. for he had all he could do to keep himself from falling lveueath the crushing hoofs of the herd Then 1 thought of firing the grass on the far side of the slough when I reached it, and so perhaps turn or stop the stampede. P.ut matches 1 hail not and flint and steel were too slow. There was not a moment to lose, for already I was at the edge ot the mud and alvotit to plunge into the tall grass again. There was no help for it: 1 must try the flint and stecL As I thrust my hands into my pockets to search f-.r them, I glanced to estimate how luiv-h grace I had before the herd would be upon me. In doing so my i-ilnnv came in contact with the powder horn at my licit, and gave me an inspiration, to which I owe my life. I 'rawing my hand from my pocket I seized the horn and wrenched off the top; then turning to n patch of thick grass 1 poured out the ih.wu.t. 1 nn slung the rllle from my shoulder and, placing the muzzle, close to the little black heap, pulled the trigger. A lurid flame and a cloud of w hite smoke shot up from the grass, but f r a moment I feared the scheme was a fail ure, for the spot where the powder had lain shiwed no signs of fire. An in stant later, however, I saw two or three little flames burning feebly in the old grass fully four feet away. To the largest of these flames I sprang and falling upon my knees, bent a handful of grass to feed it. It .vav an anxious moment, but it took lire. Pull ing another handful, I lighted it and, running along the edge of the slough, set tire to the grass as I went. lly the time this torch hud burned out, the lirst lire had gained considera ble headway and already great tongues ot flatne were curling and licking along the surface of the ground fully a hun dred feet from the starting point- I turned to see what effect it would have on the buffaloes and saw w ith re lief that the leaders were swerving, some to the right and stime to the left, to avoid the new danger in front of thera. llut the poor creatures were destined to disappointment, lor tne tare w iiicn had Iveen pursuing them had made ter rific progress while they were in the mud. aud was now racing down the slough sides at the rate of twenty-live miles an hour. Itefore they reached the end of the slough the flames had rounded the corners, and were rapidly closing in to meet the tire which 1 had started. In an instant the whole troop was thrown into confusion and .with wild bellows of terror the demoralized creatures of the now divided herd began racing recklessly round the cir cle of fire which, owing to the high w ind and the weight of the grass, con tinued to burn long after the fore 1 !.art of the line of flame had passed over it- Twice they rushed by me, going in opposite directions, and then the two bands met and in a few terrible min utes, w hile the clashing of their horns and the Inliows of the wounded drowned the noise of the conflagration. r-reat numbers were trampled to death. . ..... . 1. .. Tho stampede was over, oui smoke was still suffocating, ana 1 louu.i it necessary to keep my face covered with my arm. When I could. I looked arotina araon the panting, shaggy annuals for my horse, but Pete was missing. I could not see a sign of him anywhere- Had a band of Indians come down that night there would nave ocen a ui rible slaughter of buffaloes, but 1 was in no mood to take lile. 1 couiemeu mrsclf with watching, an.l, strange as il may appear, the buffaloes seemed to understand that they were safe in the slough, for they remained quiet until morning, many of the cows even lying down and chewing their cuds while the bulls like stalwart sentries, paced round and round the herd,- or stood snuffing the tainted air. In the morning the herd moved off to seek feesh pastures, but leaving the boilies of fully a hundred dead scat tered alout the slough. Among them I found poor I'ete.

Saved "There is in the possession of a fam- ; ily in Ashland, Pa.," said a well-known resident of the Lehigh valley, "a silver snuff lix which, although handsome and valuable, is not esteemed 113- its owners so much on that account as for the manner in which it came into their possession, and for the remarkable story connected with it n the inside of the lid i". engraved the single word 'Cooper. 1 hat word solved the mys tery of a frightful tragedy, and solved it in time to prevent another tragedy alxmt to occur under judicial sanction. "Many years ago the farmers ot some of the "tvi.riler counties of Pennsylvania and Maryland had Wen for a long time vi.-tiiu-of horse and sheen thieves, w ho ith lestvoile-.l them of much valuable prop erty. A young German named Conrad Winter, who was Ixmnd to a woman named G.xxlwin, of Parkston, ML, was arrest itl. charged with being con cerned in the thieving, and he was convicted and sentenced to six years in the penitentiary. This was in 1 :;. One day in the fall of lsl'.i Mrs. C harles CtMipcr, wife of a prominent farmer who lived near Parkston, w ent to that village to do si mie shopping. Among other things that she purchased was a pair of slnx's for herself of peculiar make. When she left the village to walk home it was nearly dark. She carried an alpaca umbrella with a yel low stain on one side of it. Her pur chases were in a paper tiaekage. Mrs. Ctx.per was fond of snuff, and always carried a supply in a handsome silver snuff box, which she ha I had filled at the store on this visit to Parkston. "Mrs. Cooper did not reach home that night. Next morning search wns made for her, and towar evening. 111 a lone It- .i.t bv the roadside, covered w bru.-.h. her dead body was found The back of her head had Ik!c:i crushed ia by a blow with some heavy wcatxm. Her umbrella and paer parcels were missing, as was her silver snuiY-lx .x. A stranger had tranilied through the vil lage in the forenoon, and it was reniem Wrcd that he carried an umbrella and a paper parcel. L'fforts were al once made to get trace of the stranger, but, bey-ind the fact that persons traveling over the road ln-twecn Parkston and York, Pa., had seen two men going to ward the latter place in company each with an umbrella, each with a paticr parcel, an.l each in the iolliestof humor wherever seen nothing to give the people of Parkston a clew to the stranger with an umbrella and paper parcel could lie discovered. Then de tectives from Jialtimore were put on the case. "i'a.il Kunkel, w hen he died only a short ime ago in York, aged T'.l years was one of the "no, t conspicuous and resjvecU-d citizens of that city. In 1-4'J he had U-eu a citizen 01 York for sev eral years, and was au industrious man with" a character Ix-yond reproach. He had a w ife and" three children, and all were deis.ut Catholics. In the fall of 1V. a brother of his who had iveen in York for some time, made up his mind to return to Germany. As he intended -ltrntiii llu vr- ii 1 at llaltimore, Paul accompanied hrnTtotliat city, and after seeing him on board the ship t..i...l 1,1 return home on f.xil. He left Ikilttmore early 111 the morning carried a common umbrella, and 1,1. una a paticr parcel taining articles he tituorc lor ins . ii c "iirse where sel and friends had nothing to rely on for their case but his gixxi character. This was of no avail, and Paul Kunkel was convicted of the murder of Mrs. Ctvoper and sentenced to lie hanged the following September, on a day w hich proved to be the anniversary of the murder. Executive clemency could fit.t le obtained, although the bishop if the diocese earnestly interested him self in the condemned man's Wha'.f, as did many prominent and influential persons among them the late Judge Jeremiah S. P.Jack. All hope was gone for the unfortunate man, but not until eight days before the day his sentence was to have liocn executed did he show that he appreciated or under sUmmI his awful situation. On that day Kunkel' s counsel was surprised to receive a message from the prisoiu r asking for an immediate interview. Tlie counsel on entering Paul's cell saw that a remarkable change had come over him. His mind had cleared, and for the first time he seemed to realize his peril. For the first time, aiso. he was able to give his counsel a connected statement of his movements from tlie time he left llaltimore. lie described Winter minutely, and sat is . lied his lawyer at once that he was the victim of a hearties-, schem of the real murderer, lleteclivcs were Immediately set to work searching for Winter, but. no trace of him could be found. A res pite was granted Kunkel, to give the officers more time.

The effect of this sudden revelation, and the fearful situ ation he was in, deranged Kunkel's mind so that he was unable to give any lucid or even connected explanation of the circumstances that pointed so pal pably to him as the murderer. His w ife'could tell nothing about the meet ing of her husband with Winter, be cause he had told her nothing alx.ut it, and, in explaining the presence of the shoes and other things in the house, she. in her terror aud confusion, made v.." contradictory and myste rious ' Kunkel was placed in oi k jail until tho necessary paper could W ot tained. and then was removed to l.alti luore for trial.
