The parlor car on the fast lino from Philadelphia was comparatively empty when the train pulled out of Harris burg, after stopping the usual twenty minutes for dinner. J he three drum men hail retireil to the smoking loom fur a igar, ami the only other orru pants of the ear were a young lady iitul a gentleman. she was iibiiut Jit, a blonde, with little rings of soft hair falling over a white forrhea'I Irom beneath the turned up hii f a jaunty straw hat. Her nose was what Tennyson calls tip- tilte'l. Her laughing blue eyes re- , helled against the otherwise, demure i expression of her fare, ami the slight- ! ly-pi'ited lips revealed a glimpse of pearl like teeth which one could never ; associate with a dentist's chair. Her neat lignre was set off to advantage in ' a tight-lilting light dress, and the rluster of carnations on her lumom be spoke a love of nature. ; The young man on tic; other side of i the aisle, immediately opposite, evi- j ili'Utly appreciated tho points of excel lenceinhi.s fellow traveler. Mr held j a book in his hand, but was not so ab sorbed in it that he did not cast many a covert glance at tho pretty face half I turned toward the window in almira- . t ion of tho scene, lb; was a bright young fellow, willi a dark moustache, ; and 1 it silk traveling cap thrown care ' lessly on tho back of his head. In the ' seat by his side was a small satchel, w hich he had never let out of his sight since leaving I'hiladelphia, and upon which he re-led his hand most of the time. It was easy to set; that he. was traveling on business, and (hat he was used to il. Mr was as much at home in the swinging chair as if he owned tin' car and all its appurtenan ces, and he commanded the services of , the colored porter in the off hand man- ' ner characteristic of your experienced traveler, "Wonder what makes my fair neigh bor so fidgety?'' he was saying to him self, ".seems to me something is troubling her. she looks aw fully wor lied. Not used to traveling alone. I puss. May be she thinks there is danger of our being attacked by train (libera or Indian, or .something of I ii.it sort, she does not look like a IimiI, though. There is a good deal of intelligence in thai face." ' ! The lady had be.'ti feeling in her pocket and ha I closely examined the contents of her hand satchel, drawing ' I herefrom a handkerchief, a vinaigrette, a pair of gloves, a bundle of paper patterns, some i rm hel work, and a lew crumbs of cake. The last she put in her mouth in an absent minded way, sighing heavily as she replaced Hie other articles. Then she tried to r.dse loo w indow. In an instant the young man was at her Ride, tendering his assistance. She thanked him with a glance of her blue eyes. "At what lime shall wo be at AI toona?" she asked, in a low, sweet voice, in perfect keeping with her ap pearance. "About 7 o'clock. Wo are a little behind time," "We shall pass Horseshoe bend by dav light, shall we pot?" "Yes. .lust about sundown. You have seen it before, of course?'' he in terrogate '.. "No. I have passed it several times, but always in the dark. 1'apa prefers traveling at night, to save time. I am making the journey by myself this time, anil It is the first opportunity I have had to enjoy the scenery." "Altoona! Twenty minutes for sup per !" The young man hastily seized his satchel and left the car, telling the por ter, as he passed him to see if the lady wanted anything. Hut she did not. She told the porter rather shortly that she did not want any lupper, and then, as soon as the man had disappeared, burst into tears. When the young nan relumed in about fifteen minutis, villi a stray crumb on his inusla-.die Hid an aroma of coffee clinging to his iothes, he noticed that his traveling ompanion eyes were red, and that she ooked generally disconsolate. "Does not like traveling by hersilf, and feels lonely," was his inward com ment, as he settled himself in his scat, after placing his Hatchet by his side, and throwing a paper bag of cakes down with it. The train started, and the young man gradually let his book drop on his lap, is his head sank back, his eyes cl.ised, and his month opened. He was not exactly asleep, but had almost lost consciousness when he became aware that his satchel was moving slightly. Without opening his eyes he let his hand fall on the satchel. As he did so he touched the slim lingers of a hand that he recognized with a thrill to be those of a lady. The hand w as ipiick ly drawn away, but the young man was now broad awake. So broad awake that he pretended to be still asleep as he opened his eye jusl w ide enough to perp through the ladies at the troubled face of the young lady w ho was "traveling alone for the lir.-i time.'' She had moved to a seat in front of him, and her dainty, ungloved hand Wit. hanging over the back, as if she bad been afraid to tidte il away when the young man moved, 1'ive iiiiiiiiles pasM'd, dining which she sat perledly still, looking at the apparently closed eyes of the young man, while the loud talking ami laughter of the three drummer-'-, who wi re telling each other highly colored aurcilotiu in the smoking room, wi re the only sounds to he heard sasetlie rumbling of the w heels. "M range how a man may be de reived," thought the young man. "I always cou.-idrre I myself pretty bright, but I ..hoiil I never have sns peeled thai girl of being asiieaMlnef. She does her work like a profession il, too. I'lobably works the trains all the while. Hello ! she is going to try it again." The girl had arisen, and the white hand wa- steadily advancing toward the .satchel. Tlieyomivr man found it dillirull to breathe regularly and n il urally, and his eyelids ipiivered with the exertion of keeping them in .such a position that they appeared closed while allowing them tj watch the Would be I hief. Now her baud is on the satchel and she is gently pulling it toward her. Slowly it is drawn from tho young man's gra-p. In another minute she will have it. Her face is flushed, (he blue eyes are dilated, and even the pretty blonde rings of her hair serin lo Iih curling lighter in the intensity of the moment. Then "Here is lloreshoe bend," says the young man, suddenly sitting up, "and beautiful it looks in the sunset." Ho does not appear to notice the girl's i'onfiision,l)iit be lakes the pre caution to p'ck up hi; salchrl as he steps to the other side of the car. and points to t he bro id mount. 1 in panorama spn ad out in the red lighl of the dy ing day. The girl moves over to the window a::d i at once lost in admira tion of the scene. There is no doubt about tile genuineness of her delight, and the young in. in confesses t hat sneak thief though she may be, she has an art is''s eye for the beautiful. 1'ncoii scioiisiy she points at features of I ho landscape that strike her fancy, and calls attention to lighl and .shade ef fects among the pines as they tremlde and wave in the gentle evening breeze. runniest gill 1 ever saw. Wonder if it is not a l ine of kleptomania, she has every mark of relinnnent and ed ucation," thought tho young man. "She evidently would like to get that satchel il she could. iiuesshe knows by the looks of it thil il contains jewelry. Probably she had her rye on me ill Philadelphia and drteriniiii-d lo get it before we reached Pittsburg. Hy Jupiter! I'll give her a chance, so 1 ran see what her game really is." lie had returned to his seat bv this time and the gill was leaning on t he window-sill, looking calmly at (lie rugged mountain scenery which ex tends for many miles west of Horseshoe betid. He took a cigar from his pock et, bit off the end, and then strolled care lessly in the direction of the smoking room, leaving the precious satchel on the seat. He sat down with the drum mer and lighted his cigar, but kept in such a position that be could watch his sachel. tin had not long to wait. Hastily and nervously tho girl whom he had left apparently absorbed in the view from tho opposite window sprang upon the satchel and moved it j from the seat. Things wero getting interesting and the young man almost swallowed a mouthful of smoke in he leaned forward to get abetter view. The train was moving at the rate of about forty miles an hour, and be kniiv the thief could not get off just now, at all events. Hut what was this ! she had thrown the satchel or one side without deign ingeven lo look at i', and was fumb ling at the light fall topcoat he bad left on the seat. The young man started. "I'.y Ihej powers! she is alter that diamond i ling in the pocket. I had almost for gotleti it. She is a sharp one. Mow j did she know it was there' 'J Irs has ! gone far enough. I guess 1 had bet- tcr join in the fun myself." lie had made (.tie step toward her j when he saw her turn ipiickly, utter a 1 joyful cry, and .brow her arms around j the neck of a tail, dignilied gentleman j wiih gray whiskers, who had just en- ! ti red the car from the other end. ! "'!, papa! Where did you come from' 1 am so gla I to see you.

The present beautiful tricolor of Trance w hich succeeded the white Held with golden lillies, was formed by the coinbinatiod ol the colors of theeily of Paris, r d and blue, with th" white of the house of llourboii.

Dnz.enn of EitlKunakeR Attack and Kill a Bx Grizzly. A bout a year after the Custer mas sacre 1 was prospecting in the I Slack Mills, and I tell ymi that keeping a lookout for Indians, rattlesnakes, griz zly bears, outlaws, and "indications" was all the work on" man should have been loaded with. I was slark alone, you remember, having been sent out by certain speculators In lienver. I wis "heeled" with all the weapons 1 cared to lug, and 'is for grub, I was expected to furnish myself. skipping several close shaves from losing my scalp, and several accidents which brought me face to face with death, let me lell you of a curious bat tie which I had the good luck to wit ness. I had been camping or lodging in a cave in one of the ruggedest mountains nature ever made. I found it by accident, and I turned it into a lodging house, because it offered me a secure retreat from the Indians. There were plenty of 1'ie red around, and I moved about in constant dread of feel ing their bullets. liming the first two nights I was undisturbed, but on the third 1 heard Ihe "woosh!" of a grizzly about bed time, and the brute prowled about Ihe neighborhood half the night. I reck on he could get my scent, but was un able to locate inc. t luce be approached within twenty feet of tiie mouth of my den and slood there for ten min utes and ..lulled and snuffed and growled until I was in a cold sweat. Me went away after a time, but 1 didn't sleep more than an hour all thai night. Next morning I was astir be fore sunrise, an I I soon got on the tract of (lid I'gly. He had gone to (lo west, and I had imt followed bis trail over o'lii feet win ii I found a beaten path hading up and down. It w is doubtless the old gentleman's private roadway, and had seemingly been used for months. I followed it for about half a mile, and it then took a sudden t urn around a ledge or mass of rocks about fifteen leet high. liebrvitig I was pretty near "home," and not wish mg to walk in on anybody without warning. 1 climbed the ledge instead cl keeping the path. 1 had scarcely reached the top when 1 heard an r r r r! and at the same instant got the ycent ol rattlesnakes, You just get that green cucumber scent once, and you'll never forget it! It's a smell no other reptile has, and it makes you powerful sick, without any time wasted. Well, a dozen or in-Te great rattlers crawled away as I advanced, and I saw I In-ill disappear on the othersideof the led ;e. I was on a n rky shelf jutting out of the mountain. The distance across was about twenty feet. I got down on hands and knees, and crept, to the far edge and looked out from be hind M boulder. It was well that I had been cautious, llelovv me, and not over thirty feet away, lay my old grizzly fast asleep. He was on the broad of his back, legs up, and when my eyes fell upon bis long, steel like claws I no longer wondered how be was able to tear t he cm ,iss of a deer into shreds at a few strokes. I had the old chap dead to rights. There was a good rest for my Win Chester, and even a poor shot could put two bullets into his head before he could open bis ryes, j '. 1 1 1 I didn't shoot. While I was making ready to, a fall dozen rattlesnakes went gliding down the path toward the bear. They looked ugly and delimit, but perhaps would have passed bun by if he had remained ipiiet. He lay to one side of the trail, and as the snakes neared him he gave an uneasy roll ml ut tered a snore. Oinokcr than greased lightning every strike roiled and rat, tied, and onedarte I forward and struck the oh! chap in th" hind leg. Then a circus commenced. As the bear sprang up with a tierce growl, the snakes divided and about half of them passed hi in. This put him be tween two tires. lie seemed dazed for a moment, but soon began striking out with his claws apd uttering sie h growls as sent chills mi and down my spine. He woke up a bad party in those rattlers. They were spoiling for a tight, and w ent in to kill. The fight was scarcely begun before anoth er dozen sunken wriggled out of rri v ices and hurried down as reenfoi ce ments. The bear sat up on end and struck right and b fl, disabling several of the serpents inside of two minutes, but it was plain that he had no heart for the fight. 'I he poison of the lirst bite was probably taking the courage out of him. The battle lasted about live min utes, at the ml of which time did I'gly began to whine like a three year old boy. lie wanted to get away, and he ceased to strike. When he did fin ally bolt down the pa'h, Tialf a dozen tattlers wore clinging to him, an I bo was the worst whipped bear in the great and glorious West. Waiting about half an hour, I de scended from my perch and followed the path. At the end of a quarter of a mile I found It i i t lying dead, and the body was so pulled up that it could not have been crow ded into the largest hogsbswd. A dozen serpents still surrounded it, rattling away iu great excitement, and at the sound of my feet on the rocky pith they turned noon me so menacingly that I beat a hasty retreat. .'' )'! fun. The St (try of a tJreciiliack. The following story appears in a late issue of The Atlanta (ia. ' ijiilnh. In IstM, when a confederal e camp was Incited on Marietta street, an in ciilrlit occurred which, with its .snpiel, makes an interesting reminiscence of the days when the old Atlanta was mure of a soldiers barrack than a city.

The Ilimnias ( Himalayan natives ) drink tea which comes from China in small packets, made up of the l uge leaves, small branches seeds, etc., forming a mass reduced to the small-e-t possible size by pressure, and ren dered sometimes still mure compact by a slight addition of sheep's blood. The Huniiias travel great distances, living only on tea and what the Hindus rail s'lllnu that is Hour made from roasted beans or peas. To prepare Ihe tea, they boil the tbi' leaves for some bonis all night in fact, if t hey are iu camp in a small earthern pot; then they pour nut the infusion into a large basin full ol hot water, adding some salt an I clarili "d butter (ghee l. if they happen to have it. All these naturally make a kind of soup, and the natives can live on it several mouths and undergo severe fatigue without taking any other nour ishment. "Tho method adopted by 111" Mon gols and other tartar tribes for the preparation of tea in bricks is," says Johnston in his Chemistry of Common Life, "it is believed, that which ex tracts from the leaves the greatest pos sible amount of nourishment. They scrape the tea into tine powder and boil it in the alkaline water of tin steppes, adding some f it and sail, af ter which they pour off the liquid leaving the deposit. They drink twenty, even forty, glasses ol tin li'iuor in the day, mixing iu it souu honey and Inilter, w ith a little roat meat; but with only a little milk in stead of the meat thty can subsist many weeks w ith this drink for sob siisl ance." -' ' lunula s .-ok nnl.
