A FRIGHTFUL LEAP !
M I
"It's now scarcely twelve months
ago," said Jack Coleman as a party
of ua drew around our camp fire,
"that I was piloting a small party
of Uncle Sam's men up to one of
Wie new forts on the upper Brazos
I believe they called it Fort Belknap
or some such name. The soldiers
were a precious set of greenhorns
new recruits, I should think.
"Well, these fellows were under
the command of a white skinned,
girlish looking young chap, fresh
from West Point. But young and
green as he was the lieutenant was
a gentleman and at heart as good a
fellow as ever lived.
"The party was mounted on such
nags as the quartermaster could pur
chase for them in a hurry, for
though they were infantry the jour
ney before them was too long to be
undertaken afoot over the grassy
prairie.
"I'd been down in San Antonio
about three weeks, and when the
Quartermaster eneaeed me to mlot
the soldiers Strawberry had had the
quiet range of the prairie all that
time, and when we took the trail he
was in prime order.
"The more I got acquainted with
the lieutenant the better I liked
him. But the fellows he had along
with him were of no account, and I
knew if the Comanches or Kiowas
should cross our trail they couldn't,
be depended on.
"We had reached the foot of the
Black Hills, where the country is
badly cut up with deep barrancas,
crossing each other in every direc
tion, and, having had a hard day's
travel, I proposed an early camp.
While looking for a suitable spot I
discovered fresh horse tracks and
knew that a large party of Indians
were in the vicinity. I informed
the lieutenant of my discovery and
advised him to secrete his men as
soon as possible, for as yet I was
convinced our approach had not
been detected.
'But as soon as the men heard
the word 'Indians' they set up such
hurrah that you d have thought
them the bravest chaps in the
world, and it was not long before I
knew that the Indians had discover
ed us, for we could hear them calling
ty each other in the bottom of one
of the deep gullies, and presently a
score or two showed their heads
above the edge of the bank and, let
ting fly a volley, dodged out of sight
again,
' "I was for getting out of the prai
rie as soon as possible and reaching
a spot among the rocks at the com
mencement of the rising ground,
where we could receive them at a
tetter advantage, but the lieutenant
was so ereedv for a fight that he
wouldn't listen-to me a moment and
gave orders for his men to dismount
and form in regular line and await
the attack.
But scarcely had some of them
obered the order than we neara a
yell, and the next moment the prai
rie was covered with a host of
mounted Kiowas that came pouring
out of a barranca and charged right
down upon us. The soldiers who had
not obeyed the order, trusting more
to their horses heela man to ineir
rifles, put spurs to their broken
down nags and attempted to escape.
But they miirht as well have essayed
to fly from the swift tornado as to
get beyond the reacn 01 tnose wiia
riders. A part of the whooping say
ages made a dash for the cowardly
fools and soon had their scalps,
while the rest, ranging past us with
a headlong gallop and lying over
upon the farther side of the fiery
little mustangs, ent a volley into
our ranks. And now, taking my ad
vice, the lieutenant ordered his fel
lows to remount and in close order
make an effort to gain the rocks.
But two of the men were past
mounting, and we had to leave them.
."We had about half a mile to go
tci get among the nearest rocks, but
to do so we had to run the gantlet
of the Indians, who kept np hot
discharge' which made desperate,
work in our little ranks. We spur
j thmnoh the savages, who at-
tamntjul irt fnt in ahead of ni, and
with our sabers and revolvers kept
the track clear till we had reacnea
the rocks.
"Having gained the spot, howev
er, we found, to our chagrin, that
our situation was but little un
proved, for the reckless and undis
ciplined men in their eagerness to
escape had thrown away their mna
kets and were now, with the excep
tion of their sabers, entirely MATin
ed. But the lieutenant and myself,
besides our revolvers, ata esw
heavy deer gun.;
"In the meantime pax p-
had fallen
into
the lianas 01
ertgea.
I reckoned we were within about
twenty mile or to of the ion mna
proposed to the lieutenant that
while he set hia poor devils to work
nthering up the loose rock and
Sakinz .barricade I would endeav-
to dash through the Indiana and
Ster reaching
rapidly as possible with a umoeu
force to relieve him. .
A this seemed to W u
th. cover of the VP?CZ
trim riii . .r
tnd alter! . taa turaea the project -
ing point of nigh rocks mounted and
ing point of high rocks mounted and
witn an encouraging hint from my
heels gave him the rein.
"But, cautious as I had been, the
wily Indians had been watching all
my motions, and scarcely had I
emerged upon level ground than,
mnng me air with derisive yells,
core or two ol the painted rascals,!
mounted on their fleetest mustangs, '
gave chase.
"Yet I knew gallant little Straw
berry could outrun any Indian nag
I ever had a trial with, and without
pushing him overhard I flew out
over the prairie. The Indians on
each flank of me continued to rise
apparently from out the earth.
''Scarcely had the brief twilight
ended than the rounded disk of the
full moon peered over the crest of
the hills and streamed a silver flood
of light over the wild scene.
"But presently I had other ob
jects to contemplate, for in the light
of the rising orb I could perceive
that I was approaching one of those
deep, almost bottomless barrancas,
while the Indians, yelling exultant
ly, gathered closer upon me. ;
"I was fairly entrapped! Should
I draw rein and turn upon my pur
suers or sink my rowels into the
flanks of my fearless little charger
and seek death with him in the
yawning chasm below ?
"I had but a breath to decide, and
as I would at least thus save my
scalp from my hated pursuers I re
solved to brave the latter and closed
my eyes and clinched my teeth for
the awful leap.
"Without swerving an inch or
evincing the least fear the noble an
imal dashed on. I felt the yielding
air rush with lightning speed past
me, my breath was taken from me,
and then, quicker than the flight of
thought, I felt his fore feet strike
upon the solid earth, then an in
stant's struggle with his hind feet, I
as if the ground was crumbling be
neath them, and then heaven be
praised ! I saw that we were on the
firm, level ground of the prairie,
with the frightful ravine between
us and our baffled pursuers.
"We were safe, for not even the
bravest of "the Indians dared to
make the desperate leap, and as the
barranca doubtless extended for
miles into the prairie further pur
suit was out of the question.
"In less than two hours I reached
Fort Belknap, and before the light
of the next morning broke over the
green expanse a party of troopers
had followed me to the spot where
I had left the brave young officer
and the remnant of his men.
"But we had arrived too late.
The spot was silent, and the ground
so recently occupied by the Kiowas
was vacant, while among stones of
the demolished barricade were found
only the scalpless and mangled re
mains of my late companions.
"That little Strawberry, con
cluded the guide as he threw aside
his extinguished pipe and proceeded
to move the animal to a fresh graz
ing spot, "is worth his weight in
gold, and 1 reckon if any beast ever
deserved kind treatment at his mas
ter's hands it's him."
IN THE FROZEN NORTH.
An Experience In Keeping Camp In ait
Arctic Blizzard. -
I awoke one morning almost suf
focated. The tent had blown down
on top of us, and the' snow was
driftincr hard upon top of that, and
a storm was raging with a fury be
yond description. Arousing my com
panions, we managed with difficulty
to get out of our bags and from
beneath the heavy mass of snow and
canvas. We always slept in our
deerskin suits, and this was very
fortunate, .for we only had to slip
on our big fur mittens, which we
kept inside our sleeping bags to keep
them from freezing, and we. were
ready for the worst. The; wind
struck urwith a force that made it
difficult for us to stand, the atmos4
phere was so full of flying snow that
we could scarcely see and the roar
of the storm was so great we could
not hear each other speak- The
sound of it was exactly that of tha
wind and water during a heavy
storm at sea. ' -The
only sign I could find of my
sled dogs would be when I would
stumble over a mound of snow and
discover there was a dog inside of it
At such a time a practical Knowl
edge of how to do things save many
rfe. The snow of these regions
is always hard, packed by the wind,
and we set to work with axe cut
ting and carrying huge block of it
and building wall with them around
our camp. For three hour we work
ed with all our might, building
heavy walla on three side until
they were almost a high as our
head. Then w cleaned th now
off the top of the tent and one
more erected that and mad it fast
Then' w dragged out our bedding
.nl damkin ruT and shook the
now out of them and rearranged
th camp inside. Luckily w had
prepared a lot of wood tha evening
before, and th tov wa oon again

Seeing the Wind.
This is the way to see the wind:
Take a polished metal surface of
two feet or more with a straight
edge. A large handsaw will an
swer the purpose. A windy day is
needed for the experiment, of
course whether hot or cold, clear
or cloudy, makes no difference, only
let it not be murky or rainy weath
er. Stand the metal surface on end.
inclining the top away from the
wind about 43 degrees, so that the
wind, striking the surface, glances
up and flows over the upper end
how sight carefully along the up
per edge for several momenta at
well defined object beyond, and you
will see the wind pouring over the
edge in graceful curves. If the ob
servation is made carefully the ex
periment hardly ever will fail. The
result is even better if the sun is
obscure. .
Monkey and Parrot In Brazil.
In Brazil monkeys and parrots
have interests in common. They
not only roost in the same trees,
but work for mutual benefit. The
monkeys cannot easily pick the big
Brazil nut husks from the trees, so
the parrots gnaw them loose, allow
ing them to drop, the fall to the
ground splitting them. Then the
monkeys tear the cracked husks
asunder, gather the nuts and divide
them with the parrots. Sometimes,
when the husks fail to split, the
monkeys carry them up to the high
est limbs of the tree and let them
drop again. Monkey and parrot en
joy their harvest side by side.

A GAME RATTLESNAKE.
It Fought to th Death While touneV
Ing th Danger Signal
"Whenever I hear anybody speak
of snakes it makes me think of an
exciting experience I had a number
of years ago with a big rattlesnake
in Arkansas," said an old timer,
"and I want to say that since that
time I have had more respect for the
rattler than 1 ever had before. , Of
course, it is a mere commonplace to
speak of the rattlesnake's game
ness. It is game, else it would not
be so fair. Gameness and fairness
go together. I am in a position to
say that the rattlesnake is both fair
and game. I met the reptile on the
side of a hill. He made an effort to
get away. I ran upon him before I
was aware of his presence in th
neighborhood. I was riding. Ho
had just crossed the rol!, which
was on the crown of the hill. The
hill sloped down into a ravine which
was some 300 yards from the road
which the snake had crossed.
"I crawled out of my saddle and
began the fight I was on the lower
side. The snake was making for the
ravine. He was about nine feet long
and as fine a specimen of his kind as
I ever saw. I attacked him with
sticks, poles and every other thing
I could get my hands on. He would
coil up and throw himself more than
his length down the hill toward me.
In the meantime he was sounding
the danger signal in a way I had
never heard it sounded before. You
could have heard the hum of his rat
tles half a mile from where the fight
was taking place. Inch by inch he
forced mo down toward the ravine.
I crippled him, but he kept right on
just the same, and though I would
et right m his path be would crowd
on- me until i was forced to get
out of the way in order to escape
the danger of his fangs. Not once
during all this time did he cease to
warn me with his rattles that he was
bent on mischief if he could but get
close enough to me to use bis fangs,
"lief ore the battle bad ended J
was in the ravine, the point toward
which the snake was headed from
the beginning of the fight Once
in the ravine, victory was an easy
matter. I killed him in a short
while. But I always felt ashamed
of myself for doing it A thins; so
game deserved to live. .Besides, the
snake had not harmed me. Beally
it was piece of brutality that I am
heartily ashamed of, and if I had the
thing to pas through again 1 would
not pas through it; that's all. At
any rate, since that time I have bad
more resnect and more avmnathv
for snakes, and maybe after all the
game old rattler died a martyr to
the reptilian cause. .New Orleans

THE GREEDY BLACKBIRD.
HI Capacity For Putting Away Food
Is Enormous.
Which ia the greediest of the
birds the rook, the jackdaw, th
blackbird, the starling?'. I bar ev
idence, write Mr. Fred Wishaw in
Longman's, bearing upon tha vorac
ity of each, 6ut I almost think that
for his size the blackbird contrives
to put away the. largest amount of
food. His capacity is enormous and
most astonishing if wa compare it
with our own. Watch him on the
lawn, busy over hi meat course. A
worm move in his subterraneous
home, an inch or so below the sur
fac of the ground. Mr. Blackbird
hear him and is over tb (not in an
instant Down goes hi yellow beak
and up come the unfortunate wrig
gling victim. A gulp or two and he
u gone, a fair meal in itself, yon
would say, and equivalent to a pound
of sausage at the very lowest com
putation if consumed and consumer
were both translated to correspond
ing dimensions. '
But oup-friend is not nearly sat
isfied. You may watch him unearth
and devour half a dozen worms, aft
er which he will repair to th straw
berry bed for hi cntremet He
will fly along, tha net until he

Th Jegiaar C waning.
In th DOT tropical parts of
South America tha nrers art often
crowded with alligators. They ar
agly customers in their own U
sient and an best given a wide berth.
When a Jaguar wishes to eroa s
stream he knows tb risk b run

By anil by the jaguar ceases roaring
and dashes up stream for two or
three miles and. there crosses in
safety. His artfulness is displsyed
in two points not onlv does he de-
libera to v adopt a plan to outwit
his foes, but he proves his wisdom
by selecting a place up the river,
knowing that the alligators would
have to swim against the stream to
reach him and thus increasing his
chance of safety.

Why, itys the baby," she said to
her employer. The startled man,
with visions of disaster in hia mind,
caught the receiver and said:
"What ia it, baby?"
"Mamma 'panked me." came the

"The watch shows it." went on

or three times day. That's a com
muter habit. The arrangement for
setting the hands has been worked
overtime.
"The commuter is alwavs anxious
lest he miss hi train, and . he keeps
setting hi watch by the passing

The Hottest Place on Earth.
Between India and Africa lies the
hottest place on earth. The Aval
islands cover a fairly extensive area
of the Persian gulf, lying off th
southwest coast of Persia, and it is
the largest of them which enjoys
the doubtful distinction of leading
all perspiring competitors in the
matter of heat The mean temper
ature of Bahrein for the entire year
is 99 degrees. July, August and
September are unendurable save for
tho natives. Night after night as
midnight comes 1 the thermometer
shows 100. By 7 in the morning it
is 107 or 108 degrees snd by 3 in
tha afternoon 140. It ia stated by
veracious travelers that 75,000
Arabs inhabit the Aval group, fully
29,000 living on Bahrein, in which
connection Sir Henry Layard adds,
"It would seem that a man can ac
custom himself to snything."

American, "I gues it' good for

the Frenchman. "For what rea
