A BATTLE ROYAL ^
Horn Fight For tho Championship of
tha Wilfarnaaa.
An hour, it termed, tba two
moose had battled, neither appearing
to gain a point of advantage.
Their side* showed red gashes from
the savage ripping of horn points. |
Their eyes were reddened, and 1
there was crimson in the decks of j
froth that flew from their nostrils, j
The bog was churned into a black i
slough of muck beneath them. The |
first streaks of dawn were showing
when?was it fste, luck or the better
strategy of the newcomer??
the advantage of position was taken
from Bil horn's stag.
Now t-ho newcomer could stand
off a locomotive. He could even
recover a measure of his wind,
while his opponent must continue
to weaken. And the effect soon
told. Suddenly he seemed to gather '
liimself together and bring all his |
-great force of bone and muscle into I
"one grand, herculean effort, and j
Bilhom's bull slipped backward.
His adversary was actually forcing I
bog ahd all-back with him, the)
spongy mass soughing up behind
his helpless haunches. This was a
dan rcrous turn in the fray. He j
realized it and struggled to gain |
a stay somewhere, anywhere, but
there was nothing to hold to. Back, |
back, he settled on his haunches [
until he was driven squarely over J ,
on his broad side, hopelessly out of :
action, terribly at the mercy of his j i
foe, who horned him brutally again j 1
and again until sheer lack of | >
breath forced him to draw back for
an instant.
Up from the reddened slough
the vanquished beast staeeered, a |
fearful spectacle. Not an instant ,
did he falter, hut, with his dark life- <
Diooa pouring from bis sides, drove J t
straight at his enemy again. The 1
rest is soon told. As the dying stag J
came on blindly he stumbled and
fell squarely ou the lowered antlers ,
of his conqueror. Viciously the j
standing bull strove to extricate <
his horns from beneath the heavy t
body of his victim, but he was ?
pinned fast. i
Then came the spectacular finish J
of this battle, worthy of the most
exacting Roman arena. Slowly but t
surely the victor began to lift the .
huge form of the fallen stag until \
with one mighty upward sweep he 1
hurled it fairly over his back, where ?
it struck on the rock with a sicken- e
ing thud and fell at its base, a 8
quivering, shapeless mass of man- c
gled flesh and bone. The victor j
wheeled and gazed for a moment J
at the quiet form.
To the trembling, panting figure j '
of the man ou the rock he paid no
heed. m Satisfied that his adversary j ,
woulo trouble him no more, he j
turned and with heavy swinging i
strides went ?ack into the swamp t
from which he had come. Thus t
fell the king of the Allagash, not c
from any cunning or craft of puny ?
man, but in a battle royal, worthy 1
of the Spartan kings, waged with a '
foe deserving of his blade, in defense
of his crown and realm.?

tbew can be blessed for must be on ,
me earth here, not the taking of

nestsl amid its "sea of troubles," a
like the halcyons. Difficult enough, t
you think. Perhaps so, but I do not ?

"Hist take about con or a doien

put It In a pan or washbowl, then poor
over It enough uswhohs (either chhx or
lakyi to cover It well. Stir It up with!
your hands, being careful to break all
the lumps; leave It set a few minutes;
then get a few yards of cheesecloth
and tear It In pieces and strain the
mixture through the cloth Into another
vessel, wring the sawdust dry and
throw It away. The remains will be
the lbal ugx uswhohs mixed. Next
take the same amount of water as yon
used of uswhohs and pour It-tn; leave
the whole set for a few minutes."
This is the "soup" employed by
yeggmen, and a single portion of It la
guaranteed to open the door of the
stoutest safe, provided an aperture
can be made sulHctently large to pour I
In the stuff. The names of the In- '
gradients are written In n crude sort i
of cipher commonly used for preserv- (
Ing such secrets. This and dosens ,
more of the same transparency of |
meaning are hi the possession of the
United States secret service men, the
police, detective agencies and others j
who deal with the cooks of such '
dishes. By a substitution of letter for <

the alphabet, the second six for the I
third six. with G and X taken oat of |

(short for dynamite). "Uswhohs, either '

The directions for serving this soup j

Millions come on, avoiding notice as |
far as possible. "Stickups," or look>uts,
guard the place while the "inside
men" break into the Bate. Seeing
the cracks about the safe or vault
loor with soap, the yeggmen pour In <
he soup through a small hole left 1
>pen at the top. The liquid flows
lown by locks, hinges and bolts and
s set ofT by fuse or detonator. Blankets
and covers of any kind are used
o muffle the sound of the explosion
ind the fall of the door. Perhaps the

ersion outside and to frighten the cit- 1
sens or mislead them while the "inide
men" pick out the valuable papers
