De-plte the Jis- liurin HiHtlM.tniiet of checked . jfln- harn, Scth recognized the fair caiie 'of li in tjtrryin to lon in that benighted region a Itack county of Kansas. In ailence he watched her insai through th.e kneeileep ura.Js, with :i twift, ."pri n gy stride ho dill'erent from the "-society pace " to which he w as ac customed, ue saw ncr -. njiiiroacn a Khagjfy, Impish-Iookinj; Indian pony w hich was staked out at the end of a long trall-rojM;; saw her stoop anil pick up the picket-pin, then, as it seemed to, him, draw the prancing animal tw wards her by. main Ktre.ngth. lie saw iter place one hand upon tho mustang's writhcrs, then spring lighJy upon Its back, maintaining her seat with appar ently the utmost ease through all the Side-leaps, buck jumps and other tokens of mustungish playfulness which fol- .kltnve.A. . : - '-. - '. ' All of this - ti t)ad enough for one raised an Scth Thonun had been, in a home the atmosphere of which would have been as a sweet savor .in the nos trils of the most auMere of the l'iigrim Fathers ; but worse was to come. With one swift glance around her, the 'young amazoii rapidly changed her lKwitlon upon the mustang, for an other, which is commonly regarded as sacred to masculine bipeds, Indian sqtiaws- and fair Mexioauas. Thus moujited, with sun-bonnet hanging over her shoulders, with hair broken from its fastenings, with eyes flashing, cheeks glowing, the .young ani.izon put her mustang to top speed, one little brown hand to her mouth, out of which issued a musical but otherwise admir able imitation of the Cherokee war whoop. But that musical cry w as a discordant screech to Scth Thomas. He saw no nv of the unstudied grace of that wild pic ture. He saw only a hoydenish Ama zon where he had hoped, but a back ward glance 13 a necessity here. SethThomas,n young New Engiander, Was making a horseback tour through the Western States, for the good of his health. Two weeks prior to this day he' paused at a little, farmhouse for a drink of water. It was handed him by a blushing maiden a marvel of uncon scious grace and beauty. Xot IT" dozen words passed between them, but before S'eth reached the little village? only twomiles away, he knew that he had Lmet his fate. . But little sleep visited his eyelids that night. Those few words, so soft, so musical, rung through his rain like the chime otsilvery hells, and that one, shy, upward glance of - those large, lustrous black eyes, now -. beamed - down on; him through 'the shades of night, "All of which -goes to show that Seth Tnbroas was very hard stricken, indeed . .Directly aTter an early breakfast, he shouldered his gun and . sallied forth after'' grouse, : naturally- following the only road with which he had any ac quaintance. He had hi8 reward, such it'was'I "', ;ji'-: .:.,"-'. A dog barking ; : a loud bellowing ; two voices 'janited-in merry laughter, lie turned around the corner of a fence and beheld his newfotind angel riding a plunging, kicking, half mad yearlong steed! ; - ' : That was but the' beginning. Seth and Samantha often met, but some ma Icious spite seemed to have charge of "these, meetings, for, 8a ve at church, where she acted, sang and. looked li.xa anaAgel, Samantha was always doing something to shock the very refined taste of the modern Puritan. As often didhe vow to. leave the place and never more give thought to such a heyden, but still he lingered on, his heart more deeply interested than he dare acknbw- "'ledge.- ; . ' ' . - .

Seth Thomas had not entirely loL hi consciou jness, even while falling ttwiftly down to what seemed certain death, and as he struck the clump of wild , grape-vine, be intinctiyely gnispej at them with his left hand ; his right was completely disabled. But a -Hile one of the tender shoots remained firm and unhiokcu; that only held hliu sii-pended alove death, for the projec tion upon which he partially lay. though wivic enough for a sure-footed person in an upright position, was too narrow to hold a recumbent body. Kven ' should the vine hold lirm, the end must soon come. lie wad bleeding profusely; he felt that he was growing fainter with each passing moment; live minutes more then death! As in a dream, be saw the pale, yet not terrified face of a woman above him heard an anxious voice calling to him; he answered, what, he never knew. But it was sufficient. Samantha saw that he w as alive, and she believed he could save him. (Quickly removing the long and stout trail rojM? from the neck of her pony, he formed a noose and lowered it to the wounded man. The prospect of rescue cleared' his brain and restored his cool sense-. He saw that if he re- the noose around' his bialy, ho would fall from his slight support, and so he told her, begging her to hasten for aid. But Samantha could see that she ould not go and return in time. He would weaken and fall, even if he did not bleed to death. She hurriedly drew up the rope and noosed it around the trunk of the stunted tree beside which Seth had tood when he shot himself, then, coil ing the rest over her arm, she slid over the escarpment and lowered herself to the ledge where he was lying. Soth wasin an agony of apprehension not for himself, but to see her hang ing to that apparently frail rope and yet she succeeded, thanks to the free, wild life tnat had strengthened her muscles and trained her brain. Cautiously stooping, she passed the rope twice around his chest then knotted it firmly. Should the vine give way now he could only fall a few- yards. Bidding him be of good cheer the brave girl carefully picked her way up a dozen feet beyond, supported by the faithful rope, and then began her diffi cult ascent, taking advantage of each little point of rock or crevice, working with both feet and arms, far enough from Seth to 'prevent the dislodged stones from disturbing him, and reach ing the top in safety. Barely pausing to take a few breaths, Samaetha called up her, pony and fas tened the trail rope around its neck. Bidding Seth prepare she gave the word, and the well-trained creature moved slowly away, inch by inch. She Urouched upon the brink in breathless suspense, regulating the movements of the mustang by an occasional word. Seth" was, "still able; to-Xflp himself slightly and with. hisean4ountl arm, keep clear of th projectinpOinst and bushes As .became within leach, Samantha bent over and grasping; the noose, lifted him over the edge,:and never released her grasp until he fell senseless at the foot of the tree. Samantha was faint and trembling from her terrible exertions, but she did not falter until the wounded man was rudely but efficiently bound up. Then 1 she secured the rope to the tree, so that Seth could not . possibly fall over the clift", then mounted the pony and dashed away at breakneck speed for as sistance. A wagon was brought, and Seth wa3 conveyed to the nearest house which chanced to be the Brown farmhouse. A doctor was sent for, aud his arm at tended to. Fortunately no bones were broken, the charge of shot passing through the fleshy part of his forearm, and after two weeks of bed, Seth was able to move about the house. - But that short time w as long enough for him to recegnize a true heart of gold beneath the outward semblauce of a young Amazon, and as he found that her wild, hoidenish pranks did . not arise from any lack of true womanly delicacy, he flattered himself that he could effect a reformation. - The vices of the rich and great are mistaken for errors, and those of the I poor and lowly for crimes.

A Sut1 Collection of Arm. The thirteenth room at the Exhibi tion in I'aiis is filled w ith a selection of Mr. Kiggs' armor; there are about K) pieces out of a collection of lOOO. 1 hese it is the intention of Mr. Biggs to give to the Smithsonian Institute at Washington.- On a pedestal in the mid- He of the room is a suit of armor for man and horse, belonging to the Grand Duke Marcus Antonious ('(donna, Grand Constable of Naples. It was presented to him ..by Philip II. This suit came from the Soltykoff collection, and was originally gilt. Among a very fine collection of helmets is one cover ed w ith elaborate engraved ornament, w i j iwluvftitua oft-isj- -aU, '"ir; monogram, Atrarezde Toledo. An- other of the Same style has the arms of Ferdinand, Grand l)ukc of Tyrol, af terwards Emperor of Germany. A fine sixteenth century helmet of historic in terest is one belonging to aTremouille ; there is a helmet of the Scotch body guard and a row of saiades from the twelfth to the fifteenth century; tyo brigantines, in fine preservation, one green, belonging to Amadeus VI., date 130, another red, made lor Bartolonieo Colleone, are important. Among the two-handed swords, we notice a very grand one, with the Austrian arms, and another ol the fourteenthcentury w h ich belonged to llalatesta, Lord of Kimini. Near this is a Scotch shield, sixteenth century, which belonged to Sir Walter Scott, and given by him to Frince Sol tykoff. Among the historical swords are some that belonged to Henri III and IV of France ; a state sword of noble design, with Leo X Pont Max III en graved on it; a Toledo sword, with ni ello hilt, is severe in form, and several other blades of the same place, w ith open work, are of great beauty; with the swords may be mentioned a trophy of Eangues de Bumf, of Anlaces. There is-here one of those singular swords with a wheel-lock pistol on the blade, and two grand shields, bucklers of the body-guard of Henry VIII, w ith gon nes in the centre. Connecied with Henry VIII is the jupe from his suit now in the tower; belonging to Ms ri val, Francois I, is a powder horn. Among the shields there are three of great artistic importance, one from the design of Giulio Romano, another paint in grisaille of the sixteenth century ; the third, of ther, sameperiod, is em bossed leather. A number of these pieces were broughfTrom tfie Meyrick and Soltykoff collections! There are also a complete tilting antl battle armor engraved ; a pair of elaborate wheel- Jock pistols, which belonged to Henri , II of France ; the cross bow and quar rels of the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, Augustus the Strong, and a pair of harness bossets in .Limoges en amel. The chief importance of this gathering Js its completeness .from an historical' point 6f view, but the ma jority of the objects are not less remark able from an artistic point of view: Watering the Iesri.

A watch should continually be in the same position, and w hen carried in the pocket by day should always be hung' up at night. 'When you regulate a watch, as you move the regulator to wards the parts marked "fast'" or "slow" take care that you do not move it t;o much at a time, it is better to move it a little each day, until the watch gets righr, than to move it too much at once. Also be careful that no dirt is contained in your watch pocket, other wise it may gain admion into the in side of the watch and Impair its action. It is advisable, when wearing a watch, to keep it in a soft watch leather bag, made for that purpose, b' which means the watch is prevented from being scratched or Injured by friction against the rough lining of the pocket. When the keyholes for setting aud winding a watcli are situated at the back of the case, never oen the front, since by doing so you may not only admit dirt ajid the moisture, but ilso may dislodge the glass, and perhaps break It. If your watch is a chronometer, or has a duplex movement, when setting it to the exact time, always remember to move the hands forward, and-never backward. Although this is not of so much impor tance in watches of other construction, yet it is advisable to do it in all cases. Lastly, Care should always be taken to keep a watch always as nearly as pos sible at the same temperature, other wise it will never keep correct time. While doe Jefferson was playing Kip Van Winkle at Chicago last spring, he went to the theatre very much exhaust ed by a long day's fishing on the lake. When the curtain rose on the third act It disclosed the w hite-haired "Rip" still immersed in his twenty year's nap. Five, ten, twenty minutes passed, and still he did not waken " The audience began to grow impatient and the prompter uneasy. The great actor doubtless knew w hat be was about, but this w as carrying the "realistic" sort of thing entirely too far. The fact was that all the time Jefferson was really sleeping the sleep of the just, of rather of the "fisherman w ho' hss at eight hours in the siiu w ithout getting a sin gle bite. Finally the gallery got to be iIprQarioui, and Tie of the 'god" wanted to know if there was "going to be nineteen years more of this snooze business." Here Jefferson began' to snore. This decided the prompter, who opened a small trap beneath the stage and began to prod "Rip" from behind. The much traveled comedian began to fn mble in his pocket for an imaginary ticket, and muttered drowsily: "Going clear through, Muctor." The audience was transfixed with amazement at this entirely new reading, when suddenly Jeffi-son sat up with a long shriek. The exasperated prompter had 'jabbed' him with a pin. The play went on then w ith a rush. . . . T t :,-'.lrk.-- uk. ) wiM"" .Mmt gmtki i wnkftw u ukr Hhafcjr ti.kk. .-! tkf ! sf.
