Maddox grew white beneath the tan. He gave tho girl tiis hand and lifted her to her feet. "Come, run for your life," he com manded hoarsely, and she, looking In his face, wondered at the sudden change. They reached the bank and raced for the sides of the gorge that shut thein in. Ep the precipitous cliffs they clam bered, bis arm round her waist, ding ing to scrub brush or flaming goldcn rnd, as chance happened, in another instant the great wall of water leaped into sight round the bend in the gorge and tore hungrily at them. Maddox felt the almost Irresistible suction, but bung desperately to a slender quaking aspen with one hand while the other, still encircling tho girl, clutched nt a point of rock The water caught fierce ly at them, tore their footing from un der them, beat against them with a force hardly to be denied. But Mad dox knew the struggle was for the life he most valued on earth, for if the cur rent once swept them away they would surely be beaten to pieces on the rocks "1 can't hold on longer," she told him. "You must," he bade her sternly. "Just another minute, girl." How long that minute was he never knew, but at lust the water from the cloudburst had spent Its force and fall en away from them. Together they worked slowly up the cliff to a great abutting rock, and on this tin* girl sat. almost fainting with fatigue and ex citement. There was still a great fear In her face. She held her hands out to Maddox "Don't let me go.l am afraid," she said. Then again, shivering. "1 am afraid. Jim." His eyes shoue. "It's all right notv, Helen The danger is past. I'll stand by you, little woman." He put his arm around her and kissed her hair. She, still trembling, snug " u »if closer in his arms. CHIVALRY OF SAVAGES. Mfttiy llartmrntiM Trllit'N \re lOirfrd liul) DelVrcnt lu! to Women. UntravfltMl poopu* commonly sup pose that savages always treat their women badly, making mere slaves and beasts of burden of them. This is true iu some eases, but many bar barians are exceedingly chivalrous to ward women. The Maoris of Netv Zealand always treat women with the greatest defer ence and respect, so much so that the Earl of Ilanfuiiy once called them "the truest gentlemen on earth." They will not permit a woman to do any hard work If they can do it for her, and their boys are taught from earliest youth that rudeness and unkindness toward xvoiiii n are crimes only second to lying and cowardice. A young English lady named <Jcr trudc Bell traveled alone among tho Druses of Syria. She was every where received by them with the greatest courtesy and hospitality. Special tents were assigned to her use, and the sheiks vi tl with each other in being her humble servants. "N'o well britl English gentleman could have been more chivalrous," she said, "and they were Just as courteous to their own women as they were to me." The Eijians goto extremes. They are so deferential and polite to their womenfolk that they let the latter "rule the roost" entirely. A woman's word is apt to be law in the Eijl is lands. As a rule, women occupy a sub ordinate place in the east, but Ixafl ristaii is an exception. The Kaffirs are of Aryan origin and to all appearances are a white race.

Some ten years ago a policeman retired from the force and went to live near Charlerol. Being an amateur horticulturist, he busied himself a good deal with trees and flowers, and i no day as he was trim ming a hawthorn In his garden It oc curred to him that it would be a novel Idea to train .t in such a manner that It would eventually assume the figure of a cat 11 ix ill)cor. At once he went to work, and after ten years' labor he succeeded in transforming the tree Into a pcrfci t picture of a mounted soldier.

The man was a native who twirl nerved for several years as a soldier, and he had a good military record and was known to ho of peaceful dis position. One day while on a scout through the forest with Ids company? lie was bitten on the neck I>y a spider. The wound gave him great pain, and ho was sent hack to the hospital l'or treatment. He was under the stir geon's care for ten days and was discharged as cured, hut one morning when at drill he suddenly began whooping and shouting and acting In a singular manner. When his com rades attempted to restrain him he be came violent, and, easting them off, ha bolted across the parade and down tho road. He was pursued, but he gained the forest, a mile away, ahead of all, and was successful in hiding himself. A long search had been made for him nt the time, but without avail. We at once moved across the coun try and located in a village, and next morning a dozen natives were sent out on a scout. They were back before noon with the news that the wild man had moved his retreat about five miles to the east. He was evidently afraid of us. He had taken refuge in another Jungle near another village, and we broke camp and rode down to the place and beat up the thickets for hours. We caught sight of the man once or twice, but he was a long way off and acted as If he suspected a trap. Next day he was twelve miles away, and in the course of a week he had trav eled sixty miles. When he moved we moved after him. Wc attempted no trick and made no demonstration to alarm or anger him. Our persistent pursuit had the effect of putting Idm in a passion, however, for on the sixth day of the chase, as we were en route to a village near which he had gone into hiding, he entered the place shouting In fury and brained live people with his club. He had stripped off most of his clothing and was naked from the waist up. After killing the people he fired sev eral huts and ran away and hid In a ravine. It was now plainly evident that we must change our tactics. If the man was enraged he might attack us at any moment, and If he did so we should have to lire on him in self de fense. The ravine in which he was hiding was about a mile long, and at the lower end it opened into a path much used by the natives. If the wild man was not hunted out or alarmed he would probably come down the ravine and enter this path. After looking the ground over it was decided to dig a pitfall and set some traps along the path, and soon after noon a force of natives was set at work. They dug a pit twenty feet long by fourteen deep, and when ready it was covered over the same as if to catch a tiger. A few yards to north and south of the pit we arranged nooses which led over the limbs of trees, and by sundown we felt sure of our man if he came that way Two soldiers and three natives wero hidden near the pit to act as sentinels and give the alarm, and all was quiet in the camp and village at the usuul hour. At 2 o'clock in the morning we were turned out by an alarm from the sen tinels, and our whole force at once has tened to the pit. The wild man had come down the ravine and fallen Into the pit Notwithstanding Its depth he was out again in a moment, and but for the trap on the north side we should have lost him. lie ran Into that, was caught by the leg und sus pended in the air, and when we ar rived he was screaming and shouting and cursing in a way to make one's hair stand up. lie was defenseless, but for a long time no one dared togo near him. lie made the most tremendous efforts to escape, and but for our throwing noosed ropes over his head and draw ing them tight he would soon have re gained his liberty. When we finally had him fast and secure he had tired himself out and was a pitiable object to behold. He had been heard to use a few English words, but no one had heard him make sentences before. His speech came back to him as we stood around him, and he used many of the commands given a soldier at drill. We remained in camp four days after capturing the wild man, hoping to sub due him and make him presentable at headquarters, but he was worse than a wild beast. Not a stitch of clothing could be kept on him, and he had to be bound hand and foot all the time. He preferred raw meat to cooked, and when fed he would growl and roar as If the sight of meat put hiru in a frenzy. The surgeon with us could make nothing of his case, and we finally got a cart and started for home to turn the poor fellow over to the proper authori ties. On the second day of the Journey the cart broke down, and as it did so the wild man burst his bonds and es caped into the Jungle. We putin ten days hunting for him, but got no trace and finally abandoned all pursuit. Six months later he was seen once or twice in the foothills to the north, but no pursuit was organized, and if not dead he is today wandering about the forests and Jungles like a wild beast. How he could have escaped death during the two years I write of is a singular tiling, as the country was in fested with poisonous serpents and savage beasts, but when he was our captive he had not a scar on his body.* und was evidently in the best of health.

There Is only one place in the world where the sun sets twice daily, and that Is at Leek, in Staffordshire, Eng land The reason of 'lds is that a Jag ged mountain is situated to the west of the town, and in the evening the sun sets behind It and darkness comes on. Then the first sunset occurs, the gas lamps are lit, and apparently night has set In If nt It iias not, for in the space of an hour or so the sun reappears again through the opening at the side of the mountain, and daylight again appears.

An author for obvious reasons he would not care to have his name used recent ly had a call from a friend who was about to start on a journey. "I wish I had something good to read on the train," remarked the friend. "Have you read my last book?" asked the author. "No," answered the friend.

"Why, all you've got to do is to laugh and chuckle while you're reading It and hold it so that the other people on the car can see what the book Is that you find so diverting. That's the best kind of advertising a book can have." "I'll try If," said the friend, and he took the book. Of course this was all said In fun, and it was so understood, but lis the friend rolled along In the parlor car It occurred to him that the humorous possibilities of the situation were not entirely exhausted.
