Breai Cast Upon tne Waters.
In the summer of 1S79, Doctor Hugh
Felix, a practitioner of some right years'
experience in Chicago, and two friends,
named Hard iid McArtlur, made an ex
cursion to Yellowstone Park, where they
spent a mouth of rare enjoyment in hunt
ing, fishing and viewing the wonderlul
scenery of that romantic region.
They ranged up and down among those
marvels of nature, acquiring health and
vigor of body, while, as the doctor rn-
marked, his patients were probably doing
the Eomo thing at home. There was lit
tle specially noteworthy in their experi
ence, with the exception of one incident,
and the geyser, canyons and other curi
osities have been dt scribed so often that
nothing of the Viud is needed in this
place.
There was a spice of personal danger
about this visit to the Yellowstone coun
try which undoubtedly gave a zest to it.
There had been more than one tourist
Shot by thelndians,and our three friends
were liable to rtceive a visit from the
same red men at any time.
Accordingly, they made themselves be
lieve that they were exercising the same
cantion and skill as do veteran scouts.
They selected their campiug-gronnd with
great care in some lonely place.where tho
topography of the ground was likely to
conceal the afcencliug tmoke from any
hostile eyes. Tbey reconuoilcred every
now section, whether mountain, plain or
rallby. before ventcring upon or iuto It,
Whenever one discharged his rifle, he
I mmediately reloaded it before moving a
btep, just as they understood Daniel
Booue. Simon Kenton, Kit Carson and
all (hat sort of fellows used to do. When
separated for n time, they signaled to
eacb other by imitating the calls of
animals or birds, as is the custom among
the aborigines themselves; and, iu short
they neglected no precaution which
would have occurred to a party of forty
niners when prospecting during the tally
days, in the Big Horn country.
It is true they did not succeed in these
little but important performances as the
old scouts on the frontiers. It not in
frequently happened that the camping'
site redpcctiiig which there uas unani.
mous agreement was the most consplc-
.uoua spot in the whole section. Their
reconnoisance of a new spot of ground
duly resulted iu displaying themselves to
whomsoever .might be skulking within
it: and it was often the case that the
hasty reloading of the rifle ended in mix
ing up the cartridges and percuhsion
caps in such a way that a half-hour was
required to get them into shape agaiti.
Furthermore, tbe signal upon which
they had studied and practiced so long
were rather unique in their way. Ilurd
adhered to the barking of a dog, which
was such a poor imitation that bs would
have been set upon by any strange can
ines that migbt bave been in the neigh
borhood. McArthur imitated tbe growl
ing of a grizzly bear, as be believed, to
perfection, but it was a much closer res-
emblanoe to the belowlng of a calf; while
Doctor Felix's crowing of the rooster
could faavo I een equalled only the effort
pf ACQ! .b.lf-srown, and afflicted with
a trouble in the throat.
However, the three believed they were
perfect in their parts, and perhaps it was
just'as well as if ih. y were in reality.
One cool, breezy afternoon, tbey came
to tbe margin of a small valley, thickly
wooded, and with a clear stream flowing
through the middle.
"Just the place to go .into camp for a
week, exclaimed McArthur, as the rein
ed their horses to view the lovely scene.
"Holdr admonished Dr. Felix, raising
bis finger impressively. You know our
iuvarinble rule we must reconnoitre it,
and remember, boys, that we must do it
thoroughly."
There was no denying the wisdom
this, and so the three dismounted, secur
log their horses to tbe limbs of trees,
where, If there were any Indians near,
they could bars stolen them without
trouble; and then tba trio of soouls, aa
they believed themselves to be, separated
and spent an hour In going over the val
ley with as much care and minuteness ss
as the leading warriors of Bitting Bull
could bave shown.
" It's all right," remarked the doctor,
-hen 'tbey and again aud beard the re.
pbrts ot his subordinates. " Our search
has been so thorough that a rabbit could
not bave escaped us. We will lead
horses down to tbe charming place, and
enjoy ourselves without fear of disturb
ance from vagabond Indians.
Each holding tbe bridle of his animal,
made bis way carefully through the wood
for hundred yards perhaps, and
then
came plump upon an Iodiau camp,
Tba three amateur scouts from Chica
go were astonished, for they did not un
tli

PA., SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1882.
derstand how they could bave overlook
ed this Interesting scene. But a slip had
been made somehow or other, and they
were about to withdraw and seek safety
in flight, when Dr. Felix saw that there
was no danger nt all, for ouly n solitary
Indinn was in camp, though) of course,
there likely to be others witbfn call.
But the professional eye of the doctor
told him that a case for his services was
before blm. A Are was btltning against
a tree, el so to tbe crystalline stream,
from which tho warrior obtained alt the
water he needed, but he was suffering
from sr-me serious trouble, and evident
ly had been left to die alone in the wild
erness. His rifle rested against another tree
near at band; tbe Are consisted of a few
fagots only, aid be was stretched out on
his blanket, his head resting on his hand
and bia elbow on the ground, while bis
largo black eyes gnzed steadily at tha
three whites men, whrse approach be bad
detected before they had even suspected
his presence.
He did no move, but simply looked
fixedly at them, as though he had reach
ed that point where he cared not wheth
er tbey were friends or enemies. If tbey
chose to shoot or brain him, it would
only anticipate the inevitable by a few
days. .
"There's a case for you," said Mc
Arthur, "though the prospect isn't good
for a fee."
The physician, who was kind-hearted,
immediately walked forward to where the
Indian lay, and made a diagnosis of his
case. The savage seemed to understand
his purpose, and, still supporting bis
bead on his elbow, stared at him without
speaking.
Doctor Felix discovered that the Indian
was suffering from a most violent attack
of fever. No doubt tbe poor fellow, as-
well as his friend?, believed it was small
pox, as it was accompanied by an erup
tion; but the experienced physician saw
at once that the case was of an ordinary
character though the fever was a blaz
ing one and there was no necessity for
bis dying.
Tbe warrior who was a splendid ath
lete, believing he was to die the painful
and loathsome death which had carried
off such multitudes of his race, placed
himself by the side of the stream, where
he could get all tho cold water he want
ed, and, with the stoicism of his people,
canily awaited last agouy.
Doctor Felix brought forth tho neces
sary drugs from the scanty supply and
gave the Iudiana "heroio" dose enough
to kill or cure a couple of ordinary men.
The patient, like all his race, believed
that the medicine of the white mnn was
capable of mirarulons cures, and he
would have swallowed it unhesitatingly
bad he known it was tbe oil of vitriol or
tho spirits of antimony.
McArthur and Hurd were fearful frr a
lime that their protessioual brother had
displayed too much enthusiasm, and that
the medicine would only hurry and finish
tha work of tbe fever. Tbey assured
him, however, that they would keep the
matter quiet, so that it migbt not be used
against him should he ever put up a sign
and seek to establish himself in the Ye!
lowstone region.
But Doctor Felix understood what be
was doing, and, though the poor Indinn
was sick uigb unto death all through tbe
night, a decided and favorable change
came nt daybreak, when he broke into a
free perspirntion, and fell into a sound,
refreshing slumber.
Such strong organizations rally quick
ly, and it was about the middle of tho
forenoon when tbe savage rose to a hit
ting position, aud sat for a moment look
ing intently at tbe doctor, who smilingly
returned bis gnze.
"Now, if I uuderstond his tongue, or
he mine," said tbe physician, "or we
could unite on Spanish or German, I
would like to question him a little"
Just then the savage seemed, to get his
bearing and with one bound he landed
on his feet, emitting a terrifio shout, and
darted away like a deer, vanishing on the
instant in tbe wood.
"That's a mean dodge to get rid of pay
ing bis fee," said McArthur. "He ought
to be ashamed of himself."
Not at all." the doctor hastened to re
ply. "He has left his rifle behind him.
and that will certainly pay me well."
Such was tbe fact, iudeed; for tbe wea
pon was a fine one, and, by common con
sent, it was taken possession of by tbe
physician, who bad been tbe means of
working such a radical cure in tbe sick
warrior.
The incident was regarded as an amus
ing ono, as it certainly was, but the three
hunters thought no more about it. They
avoided all reference to the "thorough
reoonnoissauce" tbey had made of the
place, for tbey could call to mind notb
ing of which to feel prnnd.
The location, however, was so pleasant
that they stayed two weeks instead of
one, spending tbe time In fishing, hunt
ing or lolling about under the shade,
reading the few books tbey bad brought
of
with them, smoking their meerschaums.
or dozing the hours away.
Ou the day preceding the one fixed
upon to start back to civilization, they
had not seen a hostile Indian, and were
congratulating themselves on the ex
tremely good fortune that bad attended
them from tbe first. It was not yet dark.
but a cool breeze was blowing down from
tbe distant mountains, rendering the
slight warmth of the fire very agreeable
Tbey had oookad and eaten their supper
or flab, and were lolling about tbe fire in
languid attitudes, smoking their pipes
and talking of nothing in particular.
our
The three friends felt like congratulate
ing each other on tbe good fortune that
had attended them ever slnoe tbey en
tered tbe Yellowstone region.
"It is due entirely to tbe knowledge
and care we bave shown," remarked Doo-
tor Felix, airily. "Yon know I bave In
aisled on our using wood-craft at all
times."
"Yen are undoubtedly right," assented
in ale
$1.00 a
If
Hurd.wlth scarcely less loftiness. "Many
folks talk as though It Is a wonderful
thing to outwit the red men, forgetting
that tbe race is an inferior one by nature,
and all we Caucasians have to do is to use
our braias."
This Was said with a poslllveness which
showed that the speaker felt no misgiv
ings as to his own supply of that nrticle.
"I auree with you," added McArthur,
"for It is by brains we hate been saved,
where others have failed and gone d iwn."
The doctor, as the head of this mutual
admiration society, deemed It proper to
add:
"I have heard to much about tbe dan
gers of the Yellowstone region, aud about
the necessity of having a guide I Why,
we each and all would be competent to
guide any expedition throngh the conn
try, no matter bow dangerous. I don't
believe tbe most stealthy Indian could
get within gunshot ol our camp without
every one of us detecting his approach"
The physician paused in rounding up
his period, for, just then he saw, in the
gloom behind the c.mp-fire, the figure, of
a bent Indian, as be reached out and
gently confiscated the doctor's rifle.lean
ing agiinst the tree.
McArthur, quietly smoking, was await
tbe conclusion of the doctor's observation,
to -add something in tbe same line, when
he became aware tbat tho clnmp of bush
es immediately beyond, and upon wbich
he was absently gnzing, partly sheltered
several wnrriors, while Hurd did not mis
take the outlines of tbe sinewy form

obtruded between his vision aud the star
lit Bky beyond.
While tha threo sat spreohlcsa, seven
fully-armed Indian warriors came forth
from tbe darkness and made them pris
oners. The latter, who were so disposed to ad
mire tbeir own precautions, had left their
four guns in such positions that that the
red men had only to pick them up with
out struggling for them.
True, each tourist carried a pistol, but
they did not use them. The Iudians had
not yet done anything for which they de
served instant death.
But the seven wise aborigines meant
business from the first, for they robbed
the captives of everything excepting their
clothing. Tbey took their gnus, pistols,
ammunition, game (of which there was
not a great deal) and horses, leaving the
owners in a most sorry plight.
This was bad enough, but rather singu
larly they spared the lives of tbe white
men, turning them loose, hundreds of
miles from home.
Then, having made the robbery as com
plete as possible, the captors withdrew, j
and left the others to tbeir meditations.
It is safe to add that, from that point,
their conversation took a different turn,
and there was little said in tbe way of
self-commenditicn for skill and caution
on tbeir part.
Turned thus adrift, doubtless all three
would bavo perished in tbat wild region ;
but on the stcoud day, when they were
tramping along and ready to sink with
despair, two Indians rode up and deliv
ered to them their horses, arms, ammun
ition, aud everything tbat had beeu tak
en from them.
As one of these good Samaritans was
tbe warrior whom tbe physician had at
tended, the cause of the kindness was
understood, and Doctor Felix was justi
fied in claimiug that he received a good
fee, after all, for bis professional ser.vices
in the wilderness.
EATINO HURRIED DINNERS.
It is a mistake to eat quickty, says tbe
Lancet. Mastication performed in haste
must be imperfect even with the best of
teeth, and due admixture of tbe salivary
ecretions with the food cannot take
place. When ft crude mass of inadequate
ly crushed mnsculnr fibre, or undivided
solid material of any description, is put
into the stomach, it acts as a mechanical
irritant and sets up a condition in the
mucous membrane lining of that organ
which greatly impedes, if not altogether
prevents, the process of digestion. When
tbe practice of eating quickly and filling
the stomach with unprepared food is
habitual, tbe organ is rendered incaps-
hie of performing its proper functions.
Either a much larger quantity of trod
than wnuld.be necessary under natnral
conditions is required, or tbe system suf
fers for lack of nourishment, Thns
animals which are intended to rat bur

of rumination or provided with gizztrds
Man is not so furnished, and II Is fair to
assume that be was intended to eat slow,
ly. The matter may seem a small one,
but it is not so. Just as tbe man may cn

an affliction of hurried dinners, and en

out knowing why be is not well, or how
easily the cause of his illness might be
remedied.
A TALE Or THE SEA.
One of the very funniest stories ever
heard corned from the log of tbe ship
Gladstone, says tha Sydney Mail. Down
in fhe roaring forties a seaman fell over
board, and went dawn into tbe deep green
gulf without the faintest possible hope of
coming on board again. It is not an easy
thing to find a man, even if he does keep
afloat, when deep rails unto deep, and
the big sea-mountains skip like young
lambs in those latitudes. But as this man
rose after tho first header, Tight along
side he beheld au albatross, and around
that albatross' neck he folded an arm, and
doubtless with tbe other band made a sure
grip of tbo wicked booked bill, and with
much flapping aud flounderintr. and
doubtless stranRe conversation between
roan and bird, he held on till the boat
was down and lifted bim in. What tale

"IHB ITJOKY ESCAPE."
On the night of October 14th, 1661, a
tall swarthy young man, with a cotnpan

meet a seafearlng acquaintance. 1c ear

years before, had bcn beheaded at White

did not tffer to molest tho fugitive or his
companion. The captain of a collier,
Nicholas Tettersell, then appeared, nud
took Charles and bis companion, who was
tho Earl of Rochester, on board of his
vessel and lauded them lu France, for
wbich service many things were promised.
The Restoration oame, but none of gifts,
and Tettersell therefore sailed into the
Thames and moored off Whitehall, whera
his diugy bark attracted tho attention of
the king, who, being thus reminded, gave
the captain a ring, n perpetual annuity
of 100 pounds a year, and took the col

rans office, wearing an old-fashioned Sry
more coat split dowu tho back, and a
pair of low-necked pants, draped about
him ami daintily secured in front with a

"I passed through your town last May,
and you noticed in your piper that I was
a West bound passenger on the over

I am on my way back."
"Had A pleasant trip?"
"Well, only partially so. I enjoyed
the journey out to San Francisco' very
much. Went out in section No. 11 of a
Pullman, to take a position aa cashier in
a 'Frisco bank, but wlieu I got there I
found an old man holding the job who
had given perfect satisfaction for nlue
years. .
"I hadn't the heart to take tbe place
from him, and the president seemed to
feel tbo same about it,"
"So you didn't get the job?"
"No, not very much. I couldn't get

"I am now returning to my native
