was tolling her a favorite story, when

old ;i;an say that hoys like Kanuoga,
who went to seliool lit the reservation,
instead of into the forest, eottld never
be brave Indians, and she was sure
that her brother was very brave.
It was her show of Indignation nnd
her eager confidence that caused him
to l.v.vgh row are! to loan lute!:.
She waited, but he did not answer.
With both hands clasped over liis
copp.-r-colored shin, nnd one bare foot
raised slightly above the log on which
he was sitting, ho stared into the :-eat
restless eyes that looked down at him
from tiie nearest limb. He was with

Although Its giauco was for the mo

had been watching Aakoo and that Its
inieroet wus still centred In her. as If
it had chosen her for Its victim, lie
was seized with sudden fear that she
might move unexpectedly and thus
pause the creature to spring upon her.

attention to tho panther he lowered
his glance and met hers.
But there was something in his face
Hint made her afraid, and lie looked
with startling intentness far beyond
her, down the long, darkening stretch
of deserted shore, toward the skla
covered tepee by the spring1, where
Mar-tnla. their mother, and Sis-soa-ka,
their father, lived during the hot sum
mer. "Stand still!" said Kannoa. as calm
ly as he could. It cost him a great ef
fort to remain quietly there, without
looking up, when he knew what was
overhead, but the effort canned him to
think more dearly.
"Shut your eyes!" he said suddenly.
"What for?" asked Aakloo, fright

For a moment his fingers tightened
fonvulsively over his shin, then grad

"We shall play a .iew game," he mild
then, and the stranpe. eager suggestion

"Oh!" the er claimed, and at once
shut her eyes.
Kannogt now looked steadily at the

"Walk as slowly as you can with

"Run!" he called. "Open your eyes

stop till you stand ill the tepee with

'is that all of the new game, Kau-
noRii?" .she asked, doubtfully.
"No." lie answered; "there Is more."
Meanwhile he still rat 111 the same
place, watching the cougar and hold
ing Its attention by the constant move
ment of his slender arm and of his
grimy, t:iitred sleeve.
When Aakloo was at a safe distance
the sense of his own danger came sud
denly upon him.
If Sls-sos-ka would only come with
his rifle or Cray leaver, an old man
Mow. but still a great hunter. If he
had only told Aakloo! He turned his
head and looked after her. Down the
winding track of sand beside the still
lake, both grown a dull gray In the
evening light, ho saw her miming, and
he knew that long before she could
reach the tepee he would be beyond
the need of rescue.
Me had turned his head for only nu
instant, but In that Instant the cougar
had crept nearer and Its long tail had
begun to swing slowly. stealthily, from
side to side.
Kauuogn saw no hope of escape, hut
with every sense alert he studied his
desperate chances.
The panther lay crouched with Its
head toward the forest, while he sat
facing the lake. When he had care
fully measured the space between
them and the distance to the water he
jumped away from the log and ran di
rectly under the panther.
The animal instantly shifted Its

velous agility before its great yellow
body shot out into the air.
Kanuoga was crushed down under
its weight, but he had reached the
lake and fell where the water was
nearly knee deep. He felt the panther
release its grasp Into order to And Ami
footing, and when he raised up for air
discovered Its dripping head little more
than an arm's length from his own.
Then he took a deep breath and lay
down upon the bottom, hoping that the
pauther would leave him.
,t stood there, however, watching
ever him and waiting.
Ho started to crawl out from shore,
but It seemed to hi in that he had
hardly mover when heavy claws sunk
Into his leg nnd dragged him bark.
Then, without letting go lis hold, the
panther Immediately shifted its posi
tion and began to drag him out Into
shallower water.
He made desperate efforts to hold
fast to the lake bed. for he knew what
the end would be if he reached the
shore, b-.!t his tiugers only plowed
through t sand.
The sharp point of a rock that tore
him as he was dragged over It gave
him hope; he grasped It with both
hands and clung with nil his strength,
but In an Instant his fingers were dig
ging vainly in the sand again.
At last he raised his head for air.
The panther at once let go of his leg
and came at him with open mouth, hut
It moved slowly In the water, and
Kanuoga, by a great effort, stood up.
Then the beast sprung upon him.
The boy bad nerved himself, how
ever, and fell as far out from shore as
he eould.
When the feeling of dizziness that
followed the shock had passed he
found that the panther held his arm
In Its mouth and was swimming that
Its feet did not touch bottom.
Then, in spite of the terrible pain It
caused him, he pulled his arm down
1111(11 the cougar's head was sub
merged. Very soon It released Its hold.
Then the Indian boy stood up again,
and this time he became the aggressor.
(Irasplng the slick, wet 'feud ' with
both bunds he forced It dep Into the
water. The panther's luet touched
bottom, and its violent struggles
threw him down, but he got up an a in
&
nnd held the glaring ryes nnd the red
mouth with Its white teeth tnore care
fullyJust under the surface of the
lake.
Kanuoga became very weak and his
legs trembled feebly under him, but
he was thankful that they were long,
for h could stand with his head In the
cool evening brecxe while the cougar
was drowning.
At first the pnnlher ninde fearful
sounds ns the water filled Its lungs,
but these presently ceased, and nt last
It hung a dead weight In the boy's
hands. He let It sink then and loos
cued n stone from the lnke bed to roll
upon Its hend.
His wounds were slight, but painful,
nnd the terrible battle had so weak
ened him that when he reached the
shore he fell exhausted, with liiB face
toward the tepee.
He could not see Aakloo now, nor
even the ennoo that came In n moment
to where he lay.
(!ray Heaver and nn old friend, pad
dling out from camp, had called to the
girl as she ran on the shore, and had
hr.ighfd when she told them why she
eould not turn her hend to look after
them.
Then they had seen the boy ond the
cougar In the edge of the lake, and
their puddles had swung faster and
witli stronger slrokes than they had
used for many n year.
When Kanuoga opened his eyes Gray
Heaver leaned over him and spoke gen
tly: "Aakloo will understand that game
better when she Is older." he said.

Paris Pnatnt Stories.
Pome Taris postal stories ore going
the rounds just now, says the Paris
Messenger. One of them has refer
ence to a letter posted nt a little coun
try place In France to the Minister of
Public Instruction, Purls. The sender
did not put a stamp upon It, knowing
that (Joverninetit officials' letters are
carried free.
The provincial lady official, however,
evidently not knowing this, put a
stamp upon the letter nnd sent the
postman to collect the fifteen cen
times from the sender, whose name
by some mysterious means, the secret
of which is in the possession of her
sex, she managed to discover.
Another anecdote relates that a
well-known Pnrlslnn lawyer sent a
letter to M. Milletund nnd put a fifteen
centime stamp on It, evidently forget
ting that a stamp was unnecessary.
Now, the letter wa3 over weight, and
the postoflice people, apparently think
ing only of the stamp and not of the
Minister's privilege, claimed thirty
centimes excess. This, of course, Sf.
Millerand declined to pay, and the let
ter was sent back. The unlucky send-'
er was forced to take It back and pay
the thirty centimes, making in all
forty-five centimes out of his pocket,
whereas had he put no stamp nt all It
would have been safely delivered.
The Ilearth Cricket.
Mr. James Rehn, of the American
Kntomologlcal Society, has made a
special study of the cricket life of
Philadelphia. As a result of his stud
ies, he writes:
"Most Americans were formerly fa
miliar with no other cricket than the
black field cricket, but recently a light
brown species with bars of dark brown
on its head, has made its way Into
our cities, and this visitor is none other
the hearth cricket, the friend of Caleb
Plunimer and John Perryblngle. It
cannot be denied that we have always
had, so far u we know, the little min
strel; but recent yeurs have seen a
very great Increase in their numbers
in and uround Philadelphia. Ills chirp
Is quite different from that of our
black crickets, and he shows a great
preference for the vicinity of a stove,
where he soon lts himself be heard.
"Tho hearth cricket Is found over the
greater part of Europe, Inhabiting
dwellings nnd outbuildings, but the
insect particularly loves the vicinity
of a Ore, such a situation ns Dickens
graphically describes in his 'Christmas
Stories.' "Philadelphia Record.

The following article was written
for the Washington Kvenlng Star by
William Elliot Grlffts, LL.D.: A new
Macedonian cry "come over and help
us" rings in our ears. This time It Is
a womnn's. At the opening of the
twentieth century the same situation
confronts us ns that In 1801. Then
collections were taken In the churches
to ransom American captives hold In
the prlsous of Tripoli. Iu Mohamme
dan countries the name of the young
United States was the synonym for
poverty and impotence. To-day In the
same region the Vnltod States means
wealth and weakness.
On the fid of September. In the
Turkish province of Macedonia, on a
road frequently traveled, our country
wotnau, Miss F.llen M. Stone, and a
party of eleveu other persons were
surrounded in a mounlaiu defile by
thirty or forty Bulgarian brigands,
who spoke broken Turkish, wore Turk
ish clothes nnd had their faces ntnsked
or blackened. The Bulgarian brigands
(or were they Turks?) were politely
careful to dismiss the English clergy
man, his wife ond his wife's father,
but. In hope of a large ransom ($110,
000) they kept the American lady.
The brigand Is a prenucleut charac
ter. Long before the days of Barab
has he was In old Greece and Koine.
Indeed, without him much of their fas
cinating mythology would lose point.
Every laud has known him, nnd after
he has been properly hanged, broken
on the wheel, or boiled Iu oil, his ex
ploits form tho staple of nursery lore
ever after. The folk lore of China,
Japan and India Is ns full of him ns is
the England of Kobln Hood, Jack
Shepard or Dick Turplu. In a Japan

the way to Jericho offers work for

Athens to Marathon the student must
go armed to the teeth, itnly Is the
classic home of the brigands, with
Spain ns a near rival. Who does not
remember the brilliant picture of Hor
ace Vernet, In which the French dra
gon In Calabria pistols the patriotic
and picturesque robber? Along the
Rhine Schluderhannes Is tenderly cher
ished. The Spanish Jose Maria, the
French Cartouche, the Italian Pezza
are still the fascinating theme of fire
side story.
Indeed, what would art. fiction and
the operatic stage do without the bri
gand, with his peaked nnd befeathered
hat, his chromatic jacket and flamboy
ant sash, and a whole latticework of
black ribbons on his leggins? Who
does not remember the ditty, "On yon
der rocks reclining?" Is not that gen
tleman, ever on the decline, none other
thnn Brother Devil, or Fra Diavolo?
It is the brigand's business to recline
on the rocks and wait for his prey.
He lives with the sportive goats. The
high hills are a refuge for him, as well
as for the coney. Indeed, so much is
this chronic loftiness affected by the
brigand thnt popular etymologists, liv
ing In Englnud, who remember Roder
ick Dhu and the general tendency of
the Highlander to lift cattle, would de
rive the word from brlgant, a High
lander, and this from brig, a hilltop.
But, no! Our friend, ever personally
rich in decorative elements, Inhabits
more genial climes to the southward.
His name, iu its true derivation, ex
plains why he Is often so popular, con
sidered a patriot, the alleged cham
pion of the poor and the terror of the
unjust rich. Down nt the root, the
Italian word means to be ambitious,
to be busy and strive, to achieve grand
things. Ouly as the gentleman on the
hllltap Interprets these terms to the
disadvantage of the traveling public
does his name have a bad sense, and
mean robber or pirate. Next to cap
ture, his business is ransom. Indeed,
brigands in the Middle Ages were ba
rons, and the later feudal system was
a sort of licensed brigandage. In the
days when soldiers hud to get their
pay la the best way they could which
Is largely the situation of the Turkish
army officers and soldiers to-day-ransom
was a regular busluess. To
day It may seem a terribly large sum
to pay ($110,000) for an unmarried
American lady In middle life. We ask,
where are the knights errant! Yet
think of the fat hauls which were
made iu the past by kidnapers or ab
ductors of some sort of Richard I.
released on payment (In values of to
day) of $2,000,000, or of King John of
France, ransomed for $10,000,000
paid in installments.
Do we associate the brigand with
vulgar thieves and pickpockets? How
do wo Injure innocence! Our com
mercial Ideas vary from thoso of the
kidnapers themselves, or of those who
look back tenderly upon them. Usu
ally the brigand Is a gentleman of
property, as he certainly is of standing
in the local community. He exists
ouly where government Is weak, and
where anarchy prevails more or less,
as It has long prevailed la Macedonia
and Bulgaria. Usually be is iu collu
sion with the authorities, and his plun
der Is often shared by the military, es
pecially the unpaid military, who are
supposed to exterminate him. Tba bri
gand Is usually a. very religious man,
and eminently orthodox, with a con
science void of offense. He follows
bis business In order to pay bis church
assessments. He vows to the Vlrglu
or some favorite saint to burn so many
candles or offer so muny prayers, ac
cording to the amount of booty collect
ed. By a Urge ransom be hopes all
the more t glorify his God. Not only
Is this true iu Culabrla, In Spain, In
the line from Vicuna to Naples, and
all over the Levant, but even Bur
mese, Chinese and Japanese robbers
are devout to the last degree.
To this day In some parts of Italy
and France, Napoleon Is held in exe
cration, because be niado the roads

the romantic profession 1,7 bavins
every brigand proini'.tly shot, whether
he committed murder In the name of
the church or for more selfish motives.
P.rignadage Is a disease of govern
ment, and brigands are the parasites
that fatten on the dying body politic.

We must not be too hard upon th
Turks, because such an episode of,
road robbery has tnken place within
the Sultan's dominions, lest he and
others might Inquire whether, even in
this proud land, our transcontinental
express trains are not sometimes held
up by robbers. Miss Stone was kid

that English Is the oest for unity Id

There are home lessons for the Amer
ican people Iu this new Macedonian
cry. When n century ago Mohamme
dan fanatics In the Bnrbary States
kept ail Christian captives for ran
som, compelling even powerful Euro
pean nations to pny heavy Indemni
ties annually. It was the American
navy that blew to nloms this scheme
of brigandage on the high sens. Our

powers, vindicated the Amerlcnu right
to travel and trade, and thus set a pre

In 11)01, despite nil our self-conoelt

portion. Flnre ruffles are finished with
stitching. They are near relatives to
the rippling revers of fur seen on some
"Louis" coats. The undulating ripples
take away the severity of a cloth gar
ment. Whlto Sstln Linings.
How many of these new jnckets have
white satin linings! Sometimes bro
caded silk appears when a rich cape
of sables Is tlung bnckwnrd. The llu
lug Is pretty sure to be white. This
daintiness Is nil very well for wenrlng
over a light theatre waist, but It Is
anything but economic to wear a white
satlu lining over a dark cloth waist.
The dark cloth Is sure to come off a
little on the white satin. The heat of
the body will surely help to rub off a
Utile of the crimson, brown, green or
navy blup or black wooleu upon the
white lining. Gray does not seem
to vub off, but other colored woolens
are apt to do so.
Pretty 811k Sachets.
Little silk sachets are to be found In
many designs. One of the prettiest
varieties is of silk, a small bag, em
broidered with forget-me-nots. While

there are many small things done by
hand which are lu good taste.
Ollt Metal Kuckltts.
There are buckles made of gilt melal
over n background of black satlu rib
