A HAJR-BREADTH ESCAPE.
In IS70, a uKmtii or two before tbe
outbreak of the Kraooo-Geroiao war, one
j of the moht prfm:ijut z raJt-ts. or, as they
j are commonly atyUl, "pupiU" of the
liiilitarT college at St C'yr, was ;j-ton de
Lasej.i-t He was the last reprefrnta

his ir.lra-tiJ.n8 of roles were more fre- 1
-juentthan those ot the msjonty of ha j
1 feilows. On one point alone be was in- ,
j tractile, and esemsed all bis ingenuity
j 1U K!1 attempts to est iii a rvguhi-
; ton which was inexpressibly repugnant i
j to him. Gifted by nature with an abun- j
1 dance of lusori-utly curling hair, of
j whah be waa .aorduiaiely vain, the pre- j
sriuwnt-cttfciiy 01 navin? 11 cropped ,
Bhort was a rr-etual gtievance to him , j
and he looked anxiously forwanl to bis
j second year at St. Cyr, and to his con.se-
(juent eiiuinciution from the t'a close
! M-rutiny to w hich he had hitherto been
i periodically subjected.
I "la two montbs," he said exultingly
; to one of bis inti.iu;te, " my time here j
! w ill be up, and once named ollicer I j
i .. ! 1... r-. . t !
. iMiau ue iiw as air, una no longer a&iiam-
ed to show uirself to rur cousin Louiae.
For you see," he aided, lining bis cap
and displaying a thick growth of short
curls very carefully flattened down, "I
fhj'il have some hair left."
Ca-dles in the air, bowetcr, are apt to
i collapse; and Gaston's yi-sionary projects
j were, to say the least, extreuicly pre
1 mature.
A few mornings later, at the usual
hour ot parade, the corps of youngsters
a ere unexpectedly summoned to under
go the in.i-ct.on ofthe infantry lieuten
ant, Bouchard, a lynx-eyed martinet, by
no means favorably disposed toward pu-
pils destine-! for cavalry regiments, whom
j be conteir.ptuousiy tleiguatel as "cox
j combs." iJe Lsngeats, as tbe recognijteil
i leader of the band, was particularly ob
j n xious to him ; and liis keen eyes twin
i kleJ niiliciou.-ly as he stopped short le-
fore the young man, and examined him
curiously.
"Take off your cap," he said.
tia'n obeyed with an inward shiver
of apprehension.
I thought as much," grow led the lieu
tenant. " If that sj(-r:ldom hair has
not di?apjared by this time to-morrow,
you w iil pass the next four days in tbe
saiie-de-police,' "
" You are in lor it now," whispered his
syiuiatbizing comrade w ben the terrible
Bouchard bad passeil on.
" Not a bit of it," replied de Lingeais,
shrugging bis shoulders very uncon
cernedly. " "by, wliat on earth can you do ?"
" I don't exactly know ; but I intend to
put !T the evil day as long as I posnibly
can."
Next morning, with the aid of a couple
of brushes, well soaked in water, he suc
ceeded in leveling tbe rebellious locks so
as to deceive even a practiced eye, and
aptareU or parade with his wonted
jaunty air, although not a little nervous
as to the res-ult of the coming ordeal.
Presently tbe lieutenant atrived w ith an
ominously slow step, and pausing as le
fore exactly in front of tiaston, n-jeated
the order ofthe pretiom day :
"Take oil" your cap."
For a moment Bouchard appeared to
be purzled by the apparently smooth
surface of the "pupil's" bead, but, bent
011 ascertaining tfie real state of the case,
be unoerem oniou-tly lifted a portion of
the flattened hair with his forefinger,
thereby dist'losing a suMratnm of tiny
curls. Then, turning to tbe adjutant who
accompanied Li.n, be briefly consigned
the offender for four days to the "salle
dejolice," and continued his round of
inspection with a self -satisfied grin.
I'uring tbe last day of his seclusion
ia.-ton practically employed his leisure
in decorating his knee, by a judicious
mixture of blue and green paint, with a
tolerably exact imitation of a bruise,
which he showed to the regimental doc
tor, pretending that the contusion had
been caused by bis coming in contact
with a jc.t in the ridiiig-schooL Wheth
er be implicitly believed tbe statement
or not, the good natured medico put Lira
on ths sick list, and thus twenty-four
hours were gained. His reappearance on
parade, however, became at length a
matter of necessity, and this time bis
continued d isobed ience entailed on him
a week's further confinement, at the ex
piration of which he was again consign
ed to durance vile for an entire fort
night. " This will never do," thought de Lan
geais. "The earthenware pot must in
the long run be smashed by the iron one
and I shall have to give in at last. I had
a great deal better try old Orison once
more."
Wlft-reopon, having previously, by way
of precaution, added a few touches to ;he
pictorial embellishment of Lis knee, be
limped into the consulting room of Ir.
i risron, who was fortunately too much
ecgagvd with other ;atjents to bestow
more tl.an a very cursory glance at the
bruise, and, not knowing ptecistly what
to make of tbe case, gave tbe newcomer
an order of admission to the infirmary,
then ccder the charge of half a dozen
Si4ers of Charity, presided over by a
Iavly Superior.

Th poor coiffenr, onw'ilirg to loso

" Wonld it not tx" pWMble, monsienr,"

Meanwhile, Oatous position was by J generally regarded as a certainty,
no means an enviable one. Through the j At ibis juncture the unexpected capit-
grate! windows of the infirmary Le could
see Lis com ntoes mounting their bora-a
jn tiie
i,4Siel, a
courtyard, caracoling gay ly as they
nd on Sundays moot painful
trial of all could hear with a panz of
envy tlie joyous shouts of his more fortu
nate colleagues, emancipated for a few
hours from duty, and on their way to
catch the Erst train to Paris.
The day of deliverance, however, was
at band. Early 01s the 14th of July a
date never to be forgotten by de I-ar.g-j-ais
the occupants ofthe infirmary wire
suddenly startled by a tremendous up
roar immediately under their windows,
and, on looking out, imagined for a mo
ment that pandemonium had broken
loose.
Such a ppectacle had assuredly never
been witnessed at St. Cyr. Tbe entire
quadrangle was thronged by an excited
multitude, rushing to and fro in fcmul
tuous disorder, flinging their caj5 high
iu the air, and bursting every now and
then into a loud and prolonged hurrah.'
Was it a revolt, marveled the sL'tors and
their patients, or w bat could it possibly
mean ?
A few minutes suih.-ed to explain the
mystery. A hasy step was beard out
side the door, immediately followed by
the entrance into the sick-room of an ad
jutant, bearing in bis hand an olTirial
dijcnawnt, tbe contents of which, recited
by him in a sonorous voi':e,were greeted
i with an enthusiasm bordering on fren
zy.
" War is declared with Proiia. By
Imperial decree, the seniors are hence
forth sub-lieutenants,"
Before the students', deafened by the
clamour, bad recovered from their stupa- i
taction, tuey lounu (neiiiseives alone in
the infirmary ; the invalids, one aid all,
having mustered strength enough to
throw aside their wraps and make the
bt of their way down stairs.
Gaston, whose instantaneous cure Sis
ter Angelii'ue afterwards described as
little short of miraculous, w as the first to
rt-join Lis comrades ; and, descrying Lis
jerecutor, Bouchard, standing ajiart
from the rest, and apparently in no very
good humor, went up to bim with out
stretched Land, and a frank and cheery
smile.
" Well, lieutenant," he said, " you
won't Lae me cropped now !"
So it Kceios," grimly replied the oth
er, returning somewhat reluctantly the
proffered grasp. " You have more luck
than you deserve ; for, depend upon it,
I should have shown you no mercy t"
Each ofthe seniors entitled to promo
tion having notified the adjutant on
duty the regiment to w hich be was de
sirous of being attached, tbe prepara
tions for departure were speedily com
pleted. At an early hour in the after
noon the band of exulting youngsters
started for Paris, intent ou making the
mtet of the three days allowed them be
fore joining their respective corps. Gas
ton' regiment being stationed at Lille,
he bad ample leisure, after partaking of
a farewell repast at Brebant'a with his
old companions, to carry into execution
his long-cherished project of paying a
flying visit to his cousin Louise at Trou
ville; and, repairing on the third day to
headquarters, rejorted himself to the co
lonel ofthe 4i.M lragooB.s, who received
him most cordially.
" You are dispensed from duty, ' said
bis chief, "until you have got your kit
in order. Ma foi, young man, too have
arrive! in tbe very nick of time, for be
fore the week is out we shall be on our
way to the front."
On bis f:rit appearance at mess, de
Langeais discovered to bis astonishment
that every one of his new coiujantons,
without exception, was closely cropped.
"A very necesriary precaution," said tbe
president, "in war time ; the Uss incum
brance we carry about us the better. A
long beard and as little hair as possible ;
no comb or razor wanted ; nothing but a
simple "brush np."
"Not to mention," chimed in an old
campa'geer of proverbial Ijoldnets, "that
a heavy helmet plays the very deuce
with one's "iair."
Gaston isSened with dim respect to
these wt!i-u.csnt exhortations, but with
out th"iigt.te intention f being influ
enced oy thetu ; and, on the arrival of
Lisd.ws.4un at Metz some days later, bad
already, more than once, declined to
.ai! himself of the services of the regi
n.crilal barber.
Nevertheless, Le instinctively felt that
a continued refusal to conform to the gen
eral custom must inevitably endanger his
popularity, and that the only way to
atone for this obnoxious singularity was
to distinguish himself by some exploit
a Inch might obtain for bim an honorable
mention in lhe order of the day.
An opportunity soon came. On the
Isth of August his regiment, posted near
St, Privat, behind an avenue of poplars
bordering the road to Saarbruck, Lad
been exposed for several hoars to a gall
ing fire ofthe German artillery, and bad
suffered severely from an incessant storm
of sheila, which were beginning to set
the trees on fire. Tlie position of the
French cori liecame untenable, and the
colonel, deciding that the enemy's guns
most at any cost I silenced, ordered a
small d tachn.t nt of dragoons command
ed ly de Ijtcgeais to charge, and cut
them off from the main Lxxly. The Ger
mans, takes by surprise and imagining

the Geld, which Uauton, at the bead of
Sfieen men, bore down cpon, and sabring
the jronners, carried it triumphantly into
the French lines.
Bravo V cried the colonel, warmly
grasping the yooDf sob-lieutenant ' hand.

JULY 24, 1889.
HUNTING OUTLAWS.
For tbe first three years of my con
nection with a western defective agency
I was known to the employes of the
agency, when know n at all, as "the cut
law roan." Not that I had ever been an
outlaw uiyfe'.fbut because I was assign
ed to the duty of hunting down outlaws
and no one else. It is a line of work
still in existence with several agencies,
but it is one in which few men care to
engage, no matter w bat the salary. It is
ail right when you are hunting the out
law, but vastly different when Le turns
and hnnts you. Had I fully understood
what would have been required of me, I
would not have engagvl in the work for
any salary tlie agency would have nam
ed, bat, once engaged, pride and circum
stances kept me bound to the work nutil
imperatively obliged to relinquish it,
For two years previous to my start, a
man known as Bill Gibbs bad been out
lawed in Arkansas. He was a robber and
murderer, had a price set ujon his head,
and had taken refuse in the Boston
M aintains, and from bis lair deed al!
authority of law. He was a terror to a
large district and the plan to get rid of
him was discussed and arranged like an
ordinary business transaction.
"What sum in cash will your agency
take to hunt down and kill Biil Gibbs?"
was the query.
"We will do it for dollars."
"AH right ; go ahead."
When the preliminaries bad been ar
ranged with the committee, I was called
in-for orders.
"Yon will proceed to Huntsville, Ar
kansas, and from thence locate Gibbs.
IV not at'empt to take him prisoner.
The whole state wants bim killed. Take
your own time and make your own plan ;
but do not return until you have dispos
ed of him."
Inside of five days I was at Huntsville,
but I tramped over the country between
that town and the baxe of the range
for a week belore I secured any' definite
information retarding GiLbs. Every far
mer knew bim, an 1 almost every one
paid him tribute but such was tbe fear
of bis vengeance that only an occasional
person dared admit having seen bim.
The outlaw was entirely alone, and be
had been left unmolested so long that
the advantages would l on my side. He
was described to me as a nan of 40, very
powerful and vindictive and of a natur
ally bloodthirsty disposition. When he
came dow n out of the mountains he was
sure to do some devilish thing, although
unprovoked and among people ready to
befriend him. I found several negroes
who had had an ear slashed off by him,
and half a dozen while men w ho had
been shot at or otherwise intimidated. It
was over two weeks before I gut any in
formation of direct value. I then stum
bled upon a negro squatter to the south
east of Huntsville and near the foothills,
who panned oat at a lively rate. I en
countered him on a triil in the woods,
and had him covered with my rifle be
fore he knew of my purpose. By threat
ening and coaxing and bribing I induced
him to yield up the information I was af
ter. He was then three miles from his
cabin and on bis way to Huntsville to
procure supplies for Gibbs. He had a
bundle of coon and fox skins, w hit h he
was to exchange for coffee. crackers, pow
der and lead. He had been a compulso
ry aacnt for ay ear, and such was bis fear
of the outlaw that w hen I brought tbe
muzzle of my cocked rille down to with
in a foot of his breast and threatened to
Cre be wailed out :
"You kin dun kill me, mar's white
man, but I'ze afraid of Mar's 1 libbs jist
de samel"
Gibbs was to wait at the negro's cabin
until the owner's return. I ordered him
to go forward and say nothing to any liv
ing soul about meeting me, and when he
had disappeared 1 started for the cabin.
I had no Idea that the outlaw would re
main ir. the but or close to it. While he
probably trusted tbe negro as much as
he trusted any human being, his outlaw
life would render him suspicious of ev
erybody, and be would take no chances.
I reasoued that Le would quit the cabin
as soon as he Lad obtained a bite to eat,
and thai he would go into hiding at some
point from w hich he could command a j
view. Tlierefore, when within a mile of j
the spot, I made a circuit to the right and 1
came out a mile or more to the south of
t le little clearing. I found that a ravine
1 d dow n from the mountain in the di
rection of the cabin, and after an hours'
search up and dow n I discovered eviden
ces that some one had traversed it but
recently. Weeds wtrj broken down,
stones displaced, and at a certain moist
sjot I found plain footprints. The out
law bad come down from bis lair by this
gloomy trail, and he would doubtless re
turn by it.
I met the negro about 0 o'clock in tlie
morning. He would have t;ne to do bis
trading and return by 4 or 5 in the after
noon. Gibbs might go off on an expedi
tion after receiving his supplies, but the
chances were that he would at ouce re
turn to Lis lair. I followed tbe ravine
back to a point where it narrow ed to a
w idth of six or eight feet, arid w here the
path was in semi darkness even at high
noon, and there I prepared my trap.
Had I met biui face to face I could have
shot biui, but I could not lie in ambush
and do it, outlaw though he was. It was
too much like murder. Inside of an hour
I had my rifle set as a spring gun, to be
discharged as the man's legs pressed a
small cord running across the path, and
then I retired to a thick clump of pines
about forty rods away, ami went into
camp to await results. M my action
seems cold-blooded let the reader con
demn. I had in my pocket a list of five
wen whom Gibbs had killed in cold
blood, and tbe names of a dozen whom
he had slashed and maimed out of pure
malignity.
While I was arranging tlie gun, two
land-lookers were approaching tbe cabin.
Tley wcrestrangerstotbe neighborhood
and unarmed. Gibba was just leaving
the cabin to go into hiding, and althocgh
the men neither displayed weapons nor
called upon him to halt, he fired upon
thetn with a revolver, wrtonding one in
the shoulder and tbe other in the side.
He then started up the ravine, and I Lad
not been ten minutes in bidiag Wfore I
heard the spring gun discharged. I wait
ed a few minutes and then carefully ap
proached the spot, and it wts to find
Gibbs dead across tlie string. He bad
been, instantly killed by tbe bullet.
When we came to get the body out to

A T0 rjft

pression to be aa savage as that of an en
raged tiger. Ha bail been living tbe life
of a wild beast until he resembled one.
His nails were like talons, his Ses'i cov
ered with bair, and Le haJjt'uo odi r of a
caged panther.
My second adventure with an ontlaw
lasted much longer. A half-breed Choc
taw named John Flint, who was a resi
dent of txjaksviile, Indian Territory,
and who killed several men in the year
after the close of tbe Mar, was run out of
the neighborhood by a vigilance com
mittee, and be took op his lair in the
mountain spur to the south, and swore
that he would never 1 taktn alive nor
make frlen.is with a human being.
lie was represented as a quick siiot, a
gbt her to the death, and a man of such
vigilance that be conld not be surprised.
He wni outlawed and a price set upon
Lis Lead, but it was hoped he might Le
taken alive and hanged. Our agency
was offered J1.000 more to capture him
alive than to furnish proofs of bis death,
but it was at the same time admitted
that over a down men had sir.t weeks
in vain ia trying to either kill or cap
ture him. Three of the number had
been killed while pursuing the enter
prise. The outlook for me was therefore
very dubions, but I determined to see
w hat could be done.
As is the case 'with every oulaw, i lint
had his friends and admirers in tbe coun
try about him. I reached Ikjaksvi lie to
learn thrt he was around with a Win
chester and two revolvers, and that peo
ple for twenty miles around were intimi
dated by him. He levied toll on the far
mers with a high hand, obliging one to
furnish meat, another Hour, a third car
tridges, and such was the terror, his
presence inspired that no one dared be
tray him, though all yearned to hear of
his death or capture. He was put on his
guard against me on my arrival, and he
sent me word that if I did not at once
leave the country be would have my
life. When I finally got ready to begin
sny hunt for him, be was bunting uie as
well. When I bad secured such particu
lars as I desired, I bundled up what ne
cessity demanded and cut loose from civ
ilization. That is, I headed tor the
mountain, determined to pursue the man
day and night until I bad run bim
down. It was no use to pUa to catch
bim about any of the farm bouses, as he
knew thai I was after bitu, and he would,
as a measure of pru 'lence, forsake his old
haunts for the time being. It seemed to
me the lest way to bunt for hi. -4 lair and i
Lave it out with Lim on his ow n ground. '
For the first three .lays I got neither
tracic nor trace of Jr lint. It was like
bunting for a needle in a bay stack, as
the mountain was thickly covered with
verdure, and split np with many ravines
and gulches. Nobody had ever found
Lis hiding place, but from some remarks
dropped once w hen he had liquor in him
it wa supposed to be a cave in the rocks,
and to be approached only with the
greatest diiliculty. If I met him abroad
it would be entirely by accident, so I
carefully avoided crossing any bare places j

out. About mid afoernoon on tiie fourth
day I came across a snare set for rabbits
by some human hands. An investiga
tion prove.! that it had been in use f r
some time, and had held several victims,
although empty at this time. This must
Le the work of the outlaw, since Lis
presence on the mountain had driven all
away. Two Lours Liter and a mile
away I discovered a snare from which a
partridge had lately been taken. I felt
then that I was in the neighbor!) 1 of
the outlaws den, but I had to move sktw -ly
and exercise the greatest vigilance. 1
built my fires in ravines and with the
least possible smoke, and whenever night
came dewr. I crept under pines and roll
ed myself in a blanket, tin the fifth
and sixth days I did not cover over two
miles of ground, and most of that dis
tance was covered on hands and knees.
On the evening of the sixth day I bad
t descend the mountain to reew my
provisions at a farm house, and w hat was
my chagrin to learn from a negro that
Flint bad visited tbe place for the same
purpose only the night before. He gave
me the direction taken by the outlaw,
b-jt when I reached tbe oase of the
Wiountain I could go no further in the
darkness and had to ramp down. I was
astir at day light, and at once made my
way to the crest ofthe big hill, believing
that Flint, having stipplied himself with
provisions, would Ltc quiet for two or
three days. Whether he did cr not, I
bunted for him another week without
finding further trace than a thir l snare
he had set for game. On the thirteenth
day my bunt came to an end in a singu
lar manner. I was following up a dry,
ravine, so full of bushes and loose rocks

was too steep to climb, and I was just j

and bushes were filling all about me.
I sprang up, and aa I did so the spread
eagle form of a man struck the bustles at
my right and broke through them with a
great crash. I made a leap to get out of
the way, but the body bad scarcely come
to a stow before I was at band. It was
tbe outlaw as I saw at a glance. The fail
had stunned him. While he still clutch
ed the rabbit in his right hand his left
arm was broken. I lost no time in seen

Substitute for Class.
.limui .lnuhit : We read in our
English exchange that a new translucent
substance intended as a sultitute for
glass has been satisfactorily adopted in
some ot the public buildinifs of L n.fon.
It lsBeses such a degree of pliancy that
it may be bent backward and forward
like leather and be sutjecied to very con
siderable stensile strain, with impunity;
it is also almost as translucent as glass
and of a pleasing amber color, varying
ia shade from a very light golden to aie
brown. The basis of the material is a
web of fine iron wire with wrap and weft
tbreals about one-tweifth inch apart.
Ibis being inclosed like a fly in tmlvr in
a sheet of translucent vanitsh of which
the base is linseed oil. There is no resin
or gum in the varnish, and nee having
become dry it is capable of standing heat
and damp without undergoing any
ihange, neither hardening nor becoming
wire into deep tanks of varnish and then
allowing the coating which thev thus re
ceive to dry in a warm atmosphere. It
requires somewhat more than a dn:ten
dips to bring the sheets to the required
degree of thirknes. and when this has
been established the material is ftoied
for several weeks to thorongbly set.
Open Your Windows at Night.
An extraordinary fallacy is the dread
of night air. What air can we breathe
at nitfht but night air? The choice is be
tween pure night air froTi wi'hont and
foul air from within. M'4 people prefer
tbe latter aa nnao-ountable cie.ii-e.
What w ill they say if it is proved to be
true that fully one-half of alt tho dis
eases we suffer from are occasioned by
eople sleeping with their window-
