Then, too; Dubs was quite sure he was '*‘worky Injun,” like the Yaquis who shoveled and picked on the railroad, and 80 his mind became wholly at ease. The Coyote’s cartridge belt, which had been so loosely strapped, had fallen off, and lay by hus side. There were a hundred very interesting bits of brass if sticking in it, and the children soon had these scattered all about in the said by { the “snoring Coyote. In the scramble for her share of the innocent toys, Gay ‘let one of them drop on the Coyote's leg. Perhaps the mescal’s influence was on the wane, for a big brown knee was thrust quickly up from the sand and a big brown hand clutched the ugly knife ‘at the Coyote’s side; but the hand fell, {and the noble red man snored on. Dubs tried on the cartridge belt and r{ became an Indian, all but the. indis- if pensable knife, and he concluded to borrow that from the sleeper, whose fingers had lost their grip on the buck- horn handle. ¢¢It's bigger’n Mommie's butcher knife, ain't it.

So, after turning over, and burying his hatchet- like face in the sand, he lay quiet again, When he had thus turned over, was brought into view the rifle, which had been concealed by his dirty blanket. Dubs eyed the weapon with covetous eyes. He could not withstand the temp- tation of feeling it all over, standing it up on its butt, and trying to shoulder it, but this last feat he could hardly accom- plish, Just what it was that kept his. fingers off the trigger, and prevented a sound that would surely liave brought the Coyote to his feet with a yell, I am sure I cannot tell; but Dubs, played with that fascinating weapon tor: nearly an’ hour, while Gay poured sand over the’ cartridges, hiding nearly all of them from ‘view. : By this time the sun’s rays were on the long slant, and the children were very hungry. By this time, too, the Apache was growing restless, for the mescal had nearly lost its grip upon him, A train thundering by, or, much less, a ¢‘tswift’’ brushing against his black foot, a spider dropping on his leg, or even a big fly buzzing at his eye—any of these would have et his demon force into play again. But the children could not wait for such demonstrations as these, though: why it did not occur to Dubs that the Coyote’s ear needed tickling with a‘ grease-wood twig, the Lord only knows. The wind was up, and the wires were murmuring louder than ever. = The wee ones had sported in the black shadows long enough-—had played with the fangs of the deadly serpent until they were tired and their stomachs were empty. Bo they set off on a trot for home. : Just as they turned the bend and came in sight of the low roof of the station, a ‘‘dust-devil” swept by the rocks where lay the Coyote-That-Bites. He jumped to his feet, grasped his empty sheath, gave a mad whoop, and stared about in feverish rage. There was his knife, half-covered by the sand, and there was ' his rifle, far from his side. ‘Here was the cartridge-belt, empty, and all about him in the sand were countless little foot-prints A bewildered look ‘stole over his face, but it passed away when his eye rested on the empty demijohn. The expression that replaced it was one of demoniacal ferocity, and the lust of slaughter lay heavily upon him.

The people of Colorado are preparing to give their young and thriving State a good showing before the eyes of the world at the Chicago Columbian Exposi- tion, and it is probable that its exhibit will be one of the most interesting to be seen. Mining affairs will be strikingly exemplified, of course, for Colorado leads the States in its output of the precious metals; andthe illustration of the modern mining processes of drilling, boring, blasting, lifting, separating and smelt- ing, with electrical appliances will be a sight worth seeing. But mining will not at Chicago. The cliff and cave dwell ings, the former homes of a once active and enterprising, and now vanished peo- ple, will also be illustrated in so perfect and minutes manner as to afford to stu’ dents and investigators all the facts that the subjeet affords for the solution of the strange problem. The canyons of Mon. tezuma County abound in these curious dwellings, in which are found the still undecayed roof and floor timbers, frag- ments of baskets, cloth, potféry and cook- ing vessels left behind by the vanished less foe or overwhelmed in some great. catastrope that left none to tell the story. Some of these dwellings contain skele- tons also, which are being carefully col- lected and preserved. It is proposed to make large models in clay of some of the more picturesque cliff homes, with their watch towers and fortresses, and erect them in the Colorado quarter of the Ex position. A collection of well preserved relics showing the mode of living and domestic habits, and the condition of civilization of the lost people, will add interest to the picture—and it will be the task then, for the 'archmologists and ethnologists of the world to tell us, if they can, who this people ‘were, whers they came from, how long since they disappeared, and what became of them —8t. Louis Star-Sayings. Foibles of Notables. Archduke Louis Victor, the younger brother of the Emperor of*Austria has the most irritating trick of continually snapping the fingers of his right hand while he is talking to a person, especially if he is any way animated. I suppose that it is due to nervousness more ‘than to anything else; but when one sees him thus snapping his fingers with his arm ex- tended at an angle of about forty-five de- grees from his body one is'apt to become sufficiently exasperated to long to give him a good shaking. I may add that there is a well-known and philanthropic newspaper proprietor in a city within a few hours’ distance from New’ York who has & tridk of. manner - that isi somewhat similar to that of ‘the ‘Archdake.

He will then carefully open it, of course without find. ing even the ghost of any insect. No disappointment, however; is discernible on his benignant features; and a minute later he is as actively engaged in his peculiar chase as ever. This strange taste for fly-hunting appears to have been shared by the father of the present Ki of Bavaria, and it is related at Muni that one day, when two of, his Cabinet Ministers called upon him with the draft of a new law for which they required his approval and signature they found him seated in his srmchair with an open book on his knees. After reading the statute to His Majesty, the Ministers stood for a long time silently waiting for an answer. At length, when their tience was nearly exhausted, the King suddenly closed his book with a bang, and exclaimed, with a look of unuttera- ble triumph: “Ihave gothim!

A Famous Miger. * Perhaps the most famous miser’ that ever lived was John Elwes, an English- man, who died from neglect because he refused to incur the expense of physicians and nurses, though worth not less than a million pounds. In the case of John El- wes, his sordid character was not the re- sult of ignorance, for he was a graduate of a Swiss university, and later in life was a member of Parliament. = His greed of gold was a hereditary sin. He was the son of a London brewer, who died when the boy was only four years old. His mother survived, but to such an ex- tent did her passion for money gain a hold upon her that, though she had 1 $500,000 in her own right, she actually starved herself to death. An uncle, 8ir Harvey Elwes, was also a miser, ‘and the example of these two blood relatives ex- ercised such an influence upon John Kl. | wes that he became ultimately the most famous miser of three centuries. After his return to England from Geneva young Elwes moved in fashionable London so- ciety, where his prospective wealth en! titled him to recognition. . When he visited his uncle in Buffolk, where the latter lived in the most abject penury, his hopeful nephew would play. a double: part. He would wear his fashionable’ garments as far as a little inn in Chelms. ford, where he exchanged them for § patched pair of trousers, a worn-out coat, darned stoc! with iron buckles, = In this attire he would call upon his uncle. .

Days when a girl asked every man she met for a necktie for her crazy quilt are passed; she no longer collects his hand-- kerchiefs to make curtains for her win- dows,.and even his matchbox is compar- aratively safe. But now the latest fad is to ask the men for their old. evening gloves. ¢¢What does she do with them?” the uninitated quite naturally ask. For Dream Gloves” is the reply. This is the way of it. Her hands, perhaps, still retain some of the summer tan; perhaps they are rough because she has helped in the housework, or they may be chapped from being chilled. Whatever the cause, the remedy prescribed is ¢‘grease and gloves.” : Now our dear girl finds her own gloves are too tight for this purpose, and then, generally, she wears hers’ until they are quite useless. So she thinks she will borrow her brother's evening gloves, since he casts his away after the first ap- pearance of soil. .
