THE El WHOY'S LAST RIDE AN INC,;-: T Or LIFE IN THE WILD DAY J : r THE GREAT WEST. DHKOU SUV Id "Bonapart" to a mesquite, proceeded to investigate the condition of the nuts. It was a hard climb, but after he had reached the top and found the pinions would be sticky for a month to come, he lay down to gaze 011 the long, level stretch of plain below, Ar.icnr.s ON T;II: TRAIL. Perhaps lie lay thus fifteen or twenty minutes, w hen he saw something that brought him to his feet, wide awake. Off to the southwest, about two miles away from the mouth of Cajou, came five mounted Apaches, riding slowly toward him. With beating heart Jeff watched them until the point hid them from view, saw them come in sight again at the broad mouth of the canyon, watched them as they stopped and ex amined his horses' tracks, and noted two dismount and start up the rocky point afoot and the others start across to take station at the mouth and turn the horses when they came down away from the ranch. Then he started down the bluff, slipping, sliding, jumping and clinging, until he reached the meadow below, bruised and panting, hut resolute. To escape without his ponies was not to be thought of. The Apaches stationed he low will finish the stampede that the two creeping up will attempt. But they shouldn't have his beuuties, his pets, every one of whom seemed doubly dear just then. Had he not broken many of them, and did he not know the faults and virtues of every woolly scamp among them, and was there one in the lot that should be ridden, beaten, starved or saddle galled by those red devils? No! No! Better death twice oVer than that they bo thus abused. With quivering lip and sobbing breath he dAiws old "Bony" close to the wall and with trembling hand loosens the cinchas, throws the saddle into a rift of the canyon wall, and stripping otf all clothing save drawers, shirt and stock ings, hurls them after the saddle. Slip ping the bridle on "Bony" and throwing a double blanket over his sharp back, he slides six or eight cartridges from his belt, catches up the revolver and stands waiting. Presently Broncho Duke raises his head from the grass and sniffs the air suspiciously, then with a wild snort and a nervous stamp of his forefoot he is off down the canyon with the hand close fol lowing. THE RACE FOR THE RANCH. Right behind them are Jeff and Bonj*- part, the old war horse, with nose high in the air, chafing under the close rein. Has he not won many a close race, and why should his young rider strip and ride with only a blanket unless he meant to show these young upstart colts that old Bony was chief still. So they race down the canyon, splashing through the seep age pools, rattling over the pebbly drifts, swishing through the sage and mesquito bottoms, and whirl from the canyon's mouth like bounding bowlders. A start ling yell from the waiting Apaches, and Jeff tightens bis grip and digs bis bare heels in Bony's flanks as the watchers 6weep out toward the band. The horses snort and shy, but the old racer is stretch ing his long legs on the opposite side and Jeff's pistol is hurling a stream of lire that holds them steady. They race thus perhaps seventy-five yards, but old Bony crowds them so close that, bewildering and confused, they break and sweep be tween the howling, astonished Indians and take a bee line for the ranch. As the victorious horse and rider whirl past they receive a flight of arrows, Jeff stopping two and the horse catching one, whicli lie notices by a squeal and a kick as he thunders on after liis mates. How old Bony did enjoy that race with free rein and the long, level plains before them! How he showed those conceited young horses how horses ran in his day! From one side of the bond to the other he "weavod," with ears laid flat and eyes fairly bulging in his excitement. As to those Apaches ever overtaking them, he snorted at the idea. So they raced, and the sorely wounded rider, sick unto death, gamely clung to his back, though thigh and loin were crying out with their harden of an arrow each and the froth was on his purpling lips. Yet a little further and they would be safe at the ranch. Yet a little—and here is the corral gate, the boys pouring out of the cabin, the horses saved and, even aa he stope old Bony with a sharp pull, his strength forsakes him and the horse rustler of Croas L ranch has passed the divide across the range, while the shell he tenanted so well, and that we called him, falls like a sack of wheat into our eager, outstretched arms.—Denver (Colo.) Cor. Philadelphia Press. The Tuad and the Spider. A story copied into The Sun reminds me of a still more striking instance of the toad's indomitable pluck than any thing f have ever seen in print, which was observed in my boyhood at the door of a farm house in Fairfax county, Va. The doorsteps were cnt from the trunk of a large tree, and a large spider had spun a strong web in a oozy corner near the ground, between the rounding curve of the block and the side of the log house. The grass had been worn from a Hpace four or five feet wide about the entrance to the dwelling, leaving ex posed a patch of hard, reddish soil. There were locust trees around the house, and bunches of plantain leaves grew raukly in the thin grass of the lawn. It was late on a drowsy summer after noon. The spider was basking in the sun waiting for flies, when a valorous young toad appeared on the scene, hop ping directly toward the spider's citadel. As the enemy appeared in sight the spider seemed to swell in size and put on his war paint, for, whereas lie was dull in color before, he now became all aglow with brilliant hues. The toad advanced boldly to the investment of the castle, halting for a second or two below, and leisurely surveying the field. When these observations had been taken, he leaped up half a dozen times in quick succession at the enemy, and then rap idly retreated to the nearest tuft of plan tain leaves, from which ho nipped two or three pieces and swallowed them. Returning to the attack, the same series of operations were repeated many times, until the spider had spent all Iris venom, it is supposed, and the web was broken down and the brave defender was dead. It was nearly dark before the combat closed. Nothing could exceed the cour age of the defense unless it was the per sistency of (he attack. I would not ven ture to guess how many times the toad got a do3o of virus from the spider, and can account for his resort to the plantain leaves only on the supposition that the courageous little warrior there found a sufficient antidote for the spider's poison. But throughout the whole of the lengthy contest it was the gamest assault on an intrenched enemy I ever witnessed. Be sides this it afforded an example of per tinacity on the part of the despised toad which fully parallels the heroic quality of the spider, made familiar to us in youth by the story of the Bruce encour aged to renewed effort by the example of one of these little insects.—Baltimore Sun. Seville's Cigarette OirU. One of the sights of Seville which no tourist misses is the cigar factory, in which the government employs about 5,000 women and girls. The showing about of visitors is accordingly looked upon as a regular source of income by the porter and the matrons. After getting permission to enter, you are placed in charge of a matron, who shows you through her own department and then passes you on to another, and so on, until your stock of pesetas and half pesetas put aside for fees is ex hausted. These matrons accompany the visitors, not in order to prevent the girls from flirting with them (nothing could do that), but to see that no tobacco or bun dles of cigarettes may disappear. Before entering each room a bell is rung to warn the girls, who are in great deshabille on account of the heat, to put on their wrappers, and as the door opens scores of round arms and pretty shoul ders are seen disappearing, while several hundred pah's of coal black eyes are fiistened on you. The passages are lined with cradles, and the poor young girl mothers to whom they belong implore us with eyes and hands for a penny for the Jlurillos of the future lying in them. These girls arc more frank than subtle in their flirtations. There is not ono in the crowd who will not bo immediately conscious of a man's gaze fixed upon her, nor will she be the first to turn lier eyes away. Some will wink, and even throw a kiss from a distant corner at the rich Ingleso (all foreigners are supposed to he wealthy Englishmen). They are a merry lot, on the whole, these poor girls, the cleverest of whom make only two pesetas, or forty cents a day, for which they have to toil twelve or fourteen hours in a tobacco reeking atmosphere. Not that they object to the tobacco at all. They are allowed to smoke if they wish, and make use of this privilege. They are remarkably deft at rolling the cigarettes, but not all seem eager to make as many as possible; for some are idling, and others are asleep; but no one cares, as each is paid according to the number she rolls.—Henry T. Pluck in Scrttinei. 'Die Chinese have contractions for all the characters of their written language, the use of whicli qualifies them to be come shorthand reporters of speeches in their own language. They do not prac tice speech making, but they write the contractions with wonderful quickness, and the scribes at an imperial audience probably write all or nearly all that is said. Robert Browning is likely to be the last of the English men of letters (save Tennyson) who will find a grave in West minster abbey. The interment of any more bodies there is opposed on sanitary grounds. THE OLD MUSIC BOOK. I turn with fdlont roverenco Its unknown iiagcs o'er; The dusty lines inspire a sense Of something heard before, In days long past, in other lands; Of ancient melodies; Old harpsichords, and gentle hands That touched the ivory keys. The book a hundred fancies wears On every yellow page, Sonatas quaint, forgotten airs, The notes all dim with age, And variations long wove out. And faded songs and old, With trills and turnings all about. And graces manifokL Perchance in those old bygone days My lady sat and played In broidered stomacher of maize, And flowered blue brocade. Her lissome Angers dancing ran. Through many a Qorid strain, Until Miss Bell behind her fan Begged "that sweet piece again." Perchance when summer nights were long, And soft winds swept the meadows, Some amorous youth poured out this song To Chloe through the shadows. Or beaux aud belles of higher state. In some well lit pavilion, Trod graceful through this minuet, Or figured this cotilion. So vagrant fancies through the mind Play fitful now and then, As, with a smile and sigh combined, I close the book again. I dare not touch its music old In this rude modern day; Hollowed by fingers long since cold, Aud voices passed away. —Globe-Democrat Charles Lamb's Writings. The writings of Charles Lamb are an excellent illustration of the value of re serve in literature. Below his quiet, his quaintnoss, his humor and what may seem the slightness, the occasional or accidental character of his work, there lies, as in his life, a genuinely tragic element. The gloom reflected at its darkest in those hard shadows of "Rosa mund Gray" is always there, though not always realized either for himself or his readers, and restrained always in utterance. It gives to those lighter mat ters on the surface of life and literature among which he for the most part moved a wonderful forco of expression, as if at any moment these slight words and fancies might pierce very far into the deeper soul of things. In his writing, as in his life, that qniet is not the low flying of one from the first drowsy by choice, and needing the prick of some strong passion or worldly ambi tion to stimulate him into all the energy of which he is capable, but rather there action of nature after an escape from fate, dark and insane as in old Greek tragedy, following upon which the sense of mere relief becomes a kind of passion, as with 0110 who, having narrowly es caped earthquake or shipwreck, finds a thing for grateful tears in just sitting quiet at home, under the wall, till the end of days.—Walter Pater. Consulting the Stars. It id strange that tnany persons yet confound astronomy with astrology, a result of the undue importance which personal and private interests have over scientific principles in the thoughts of many persons. Not many weeks ago we received a letter f rom a subscriber who wished to be informed where he could find a text book of astrology. It is said that the astronomer royal, who has charge of Greenwich observa tory, frequently receives letters asking what his terms are for drawing a horo scope I Tile writers of these letters often promise to make known, if necesßary, the true day and hour of their birth. Such incidents call to mind a story told of Herschel, the astronomer. Daring a very rainy season a farmer in his neighborhood came to ask his opinion, or rather the opinion of the stars, as to the day that would best suit for making his hay without any fear of losing it by showers. The great astronomer led the man to a window and pointed with his finger to a meadow where the grass had been mowed and was rotting iu the wet. "You see that field," said lie. "Well, it is mine. Isn't thai enough to show you that as regards rain ami due weather lam not a hit more of a conje r than any of my neighbors':"— Youth s Com panion." A Steer in the Ilnute. A drove of Texas cattle were being driven across the railroad tracks near the Martell house. One of the drove, a ' large steer, became separated from the others and ran down the tracks into the Vandalia yards. Being close pressed by William Little, the driver, the steer mounted the outside stairs of a two story tenement house situated close to the round house, and entered the kitchen and took possession. Mrs. A. O. Ilen nesy.with her baby in her arms, had just time to escape by a back stairway and save the life of herself and child. The infuriated steer upset the kitchen table, smashed the dishes, broke the chairs and other furniture, and overturned the stove. The driver mounted the stairs and, after some difficulty, managed to get a ring in the animal's nose, but it broke and was useless. The animai, af ter having completely wrecked the room, leisurely descended the stairs and was captured. —St. Louis Republic. Coal for the West Indies. The import of coal from the United States to the port of Havana during 1888 is stated to have amounted to 97,647 tons as against 63.266 tons in 1887, and that from Great Britain to 50,378 as against 74,843 tons. Thus the American import exceeded the average of the last ten years, which is calculated at about 66,- 000 tons, while the import from Great Britain fell far short of its average of 80,000 tous. That a further alteration in the relative proportions of the coal im ports from Great Britain and the United States may take place is not improbable. American speculators are arranging for large shipments of coal from the Ala bama mines to Cuba and other West In dian islands. Should this enterprise prove successful, the effect on British trade would be most unfavorable, as it would obviously be difficult for British exporters to compete with Americans in the matter of freights.—New York Com* tnercial Advertiser.
