they run on side by side, the fuee of
the man who h i I eom t t'liptxin

on his moiii iry. He felt that the nol

The t aptaiii .served with (list inetion
through the war, coming out with the
full rank of colonel. He settled down
in Huston, where lie enHed with

years nfterwurd took to himself ti w ife,
Hih married life was ijiiite as li.ippy n
liia niilitnry service was distinguished,
nml bis business career irosperous.
The colonel was mid is n prominent
member of the I.oynl Legion, the
(irnud Army of the Kejitiblic, the So
ciety of the Army of the 1'otninne nml
other veteran organizations, in nil of
which he was well known, ii t only for
his hearty camaraderie, but for his
ability to miij a son or tell a i-dory.
Not once, but a hundred times, and
nlways with the hiqie of liudin the
man who had ho unexpectedly come to
his aid nt Chance Horsville, the Colonel
told the story of his gallant rescuer.
Hut the yearn wore on, and his dark
hair ami whiskers beeaine streaked
with c,rny, and Mill no one could ;ive
him li'-;ht as to the identity of Lis pre
nerver. Just ten years after the close of the
war, on account of his cluldri ii, the
colonel moved from the city of Host. hi
to a beautiful rural hum n.-ir S on. r

he took j-'icnt deliy'.t, and there mei

One uij.'ht, jitht beforo Christ man in
1H7i, the colonel utayed u) in his li
brary luiitf after Ih'h uhuiiI time for re
tiriiiff. It wan one o'clock when he
went to bed, but the matter on his
mind ki'pi him awake till tho clock on
the mantel chimed two. His bedroom
opened oil' the library, mid he was just
(iilikiiij; into a doze when ho was start
led into wakefulness by hearing a
chair turned over in the next room.
Quickly and tdleiitly he got out of bed,
and bavin:; no other weapon at hand,
ho picked up a bootjack, which was
near the' wa.distarul, and in his bare
feet clipped into th:; library. Hy the
liu'ht ofa lump burning on the grounds
oulHide he wiw the figure of a man
bending over his desk, mnl with move
ments so cunt ions and eallike that he
wits certain that it was not one of the
servants, ami al-.o that his own en
trance had nut been observed by the
burglar.
The man's buck was toward: him,
and knowing tint a tight would follow,
in which he might get the worst of it
if ho gave any alarm, Colonel Ford
sprang forward, brought the bootjack
down with it "number one cut,' mid
the next instant with a groan tho in
truder fell in a heap at his feet.
The foloiiel lit th ' gas immediately,
an I turned the burglar so as to expose
his face. As he bent over him, Chan
celiorsville mi l all the incidents c iii
neeted Herewith Hashed through his
mind. Here was the man he had been
so loin ins 'arch of, the brave follow
who, at tin' risk of his own life, had
saed him from tiie sabre of a mount
ed Confederate.
Tin.' colonel was about to Mimnioii
th servants, but mi. Id . 1 1 1 v changed
his mind. JL- had the mee.sary stim
ulant at han I, and h ut once priu d-
ed to revive tlm iin.'oiiekius liur-glar.
Alter a few minutes tho inui was re
stored to his seii.'es, and rising mi
steadily front the floor he rubbed his
I'V. s, and in a d ied, frightened way
surveyed the man standing before
him.
"Who tiro you, and what brought
Jim here?" il 'iliaiided the colonel.
li-.'fure replying the man staggered
into a chair, ii'id then in a broken
voice, replied:
"My name is Tom llushiuore. My
(i.id, sir! do not have me arreted!"
"Xot ha e yoll urrested !" repeated
the colon, I. "Wh it else can 1 do
v. ith you? I tin I you lu re as a burg
lar trying to rob my house, and fortu
nately I h.ive boon able to prevent
you from that crmi and perhaps from
the greater one of murder?"
"Mu rdor ! " echoed t In.1 man, as he
pressed his hands to his bleeding head.
'It. 'fore Heaven, Mir, I had no thought
of that. You will not believe my
oath, but if you could I would swear
to you, mid with truth, that this is the
tirs! time in my life that I ever know
ingly attempted a crime. My wile
h is been an invalid for nearly two
year-. ; my children are RiilV. riug for
food, and I am out of emploMiielit.

rich, and in my desperation I tonight
eiit.-i'i'd your house, hoping that i
might be able to pick up something
that, without .serious loss to you,
would have enabled mo to buy medi
cine for my wife, and furnish bread
to my starving little ones."
"Were you a aoldier?" asked the
colonel.
"Yes, sir," was tho response, "and
I think a brave one. Here is some
evidence of it," an I ho tore open his
flannel shirt, exposing a senr across
his right breast.
"Were you at the battle of Chan-
cel!ornville?" asked the colonel, eager-
"I was, sir," replied the man.
"What was your corps?"
"The Eleventh. Hut, in justice to
myself, I Hhould say I was not one of
the men who led the stampede in that
tight."
"Xu," said the colonel, "I think 1
listiuctly remember you near the
rear, and with the eiieniy all about."
"You remember me?" said the man,
in surprise. "I must confess, nir, that
while I have seen you since the war, 1
lo not remember having met you dur
ing that time."
"Yes, I think you did meet me, and
saved toy life in that very battle," and
then t he colonel related tho incident
at Chaiicellor.ville, which the man
distinctly remembered, though he
modestly took no credit to himself fur
the part he had played in the young
Ulcer's rescue.
Tie-re is but little more to say. The

with money in hi pocket and hope iu

It is pleasant to add, though it is
just what might have been expected
from Colonel Edward Ford, that Tom
Ilushinoro had no need longer to seek
for I'tiiployiiK nt. He is now a trusted
Kiipcriiitcii.h i:! of one of the co!oinT
estiibliVluneiits. His wife is rei-toieil
to Ik tilth, his children are reaching
man and womanhood, a credit to him
self and the State.
Tin; colonel still delights to tell of
how Turn Jliishiiiore Kaved him at
Chaucellorsville, and of how he found
him after so many years, but ho does
not mention the details of their moot
ing. ( oii!cira!ivi' Mort.ility r I ho Soxeu.
Although woman has been deprived
of no until v rights ami privileges, she
has at least the advantage of man as
regarda longevity ; she millers less
from accident, injuries mid ninny
forms of disease; she is, in fact, more
tenacious than in iu of the limited en
joyments allowed her. lr. lirmidreth
Syiuoiids has collected mid studied It
hirge number of statistics to illustrate
this interesting fact. The comparative
mortality of the sexes at diU'eieiit
ages, shows that in the first year of
life the mortality of the female is
much less than that of tin! male, being
ut birth il'.!. IS I jter 1,0(11) as against
ll'J.S'l, and at the end of the year,
ul.NSns against :l."i.llS. This ilill'or
eiiee continues up f t the fourth year.
From live to twelve the female mor
tality is greater th in that of the male,
being at the hitter period :f..Vi I'm
mules, and l.'JS for females. At the
age of forty-;. ix the mil,' mortality
.ilals thai of the female, the latter
ha, in,.' Iteeti up to this iini" slightly in
exec's, (luring tin-years forty-six to
fifty-sis,-, the p'-riud of the climacteric,
the mule mortality gains rapidly on
the female, being ii.'Yi per n.itium for
tile one il'ld o'liy 11.17 for tile other.
Hence the cliinaeterie is really a much
more serious time for man than lot
woman. After lil'ty-six, the female
mortality gains on that of tho male,
but is always slightly below il. Woman
has not only a less mortality mid !
a greater longevity th in man, but
there is, according to lr. Symouds,
a plurality off-male birth.--., though!
tin.' contrary iew is u.'. ially held. Na

How Cattle Aro Shipped From
Hawaii to Maui Island.
Em'ui-i'od Si ours Chase tho Cow
boys Into tho Surf.
Tho big cattle ranges of the Sand
wich islands are on Hawaii, where
most of the t tock is bred, but there
lire smaller ranges on the Island of
Mauri, where two mid three year old
steels ai-i: fiiltem. 1 I'or the principal
market, whieh instill on another is
land, Ouku, ..it which is Honolulu.
When the owner of a Maui range or
ders a hunch of ttecrs from tin Hawi. i
rancher the la!; r's cowboys round up
the d. -dreil number from the sides of
Manna Lull, where practically they
run wild. They aro driven a two or
three days' journey to a steamer land
ing, which is not a landing as we uu
derstan I it, but a little bay where a
steamer may lie at aii-hor near shore,
and w in r : there is on shore a stone
e 'i ral. At the end of the wild and
hilarious on -riaiid drive the cattle,
lighting mad, all of them, are secured
in ti rral, and th- cowboys give
t Ileitis -Ives u; to the peaceful joys o
p..i eating and mug, waiting for the
arrival of 1 he steamer.
The si. -.inn r iinehoM within 20:i
ards of tlie Ii aeh, and a big whale
boat puts off, earring a tow line, one
end of w hich is fast to a st -am capstan
mi the ship's deck. The whaleboat'i
ere'v ..top tle-ir craft a Utile outside
lh" breakers, which are not large, and
W he re tin- water is too deep for a steel
t i wa le. Then the fun begins. One
cow boy r.de- into the eoiaal. Two,
dismounted, stand by lo shut th" cor
ral bar; when l'e piiled, liltd two other-,
mounted, wait for their part of
i he performance.
Tne cow b y w ho enters tho corral
expect ; to ho nltncko.1. Thai's what
he's there for. His daring is reckless
n ss, his horsemui.ship superb. Hi-obj.-et
is to get one .steer to charge at
hint through the corral opening.
Wh.-ti he doestitis th unmounted u
drop the bar., aft -r the horseman and
tiie charging at. -or hav passed out. Il
everything goes well thii is what hap
p -!i -: The cowboy dashes for the stirl,
the steer follows.
The 'loi-s-mau lets th- steer keep
el" -i' enough to him to encourage the
wieianini.it that il will get iu tome
clt'ect ie w uH; w itli it . horns. They
go g tllojiiti r, plunging, and splashing
through the surf, all th.: cowboys on
the shore, all the natives iu the whale
boat, and on tlie -.lei'u r wildly yeil
ing"A -a, bipi," until su I I -nly the
horse and MoT find the water too
deep for wading and have to swim.
That in -taut Hie t.t a-r be. Mines an
easy victim. All of its energy and at
t -iition are ih-voted to keeping its
dead above water. The cow b. ty turns
his horse, comes up alongside thest. ei
throws. a short la-i.o over ils horns aini
pa -se.--. ils loo-e . ml to th men in ih"
boat. They h'iu! iu on the now utter
ly di-'Colillited steer, bring its head up
close alotigsiil ' and fast-n it there,
w ith a rope around its horns, to the
g inw.tlc. The st-'er kieksfo;' a while,
but, finding that in. effort is ropiir. d
to keep its head above the water, re
signs itse'f.
That is the program, but there nr.-f.-eipii-nt
variations. Sometimes th.
man in the corral is charged at the
B.une time by two .steers, each etpially
ambitious of impaiitig a horse, am!
both escape in spite of th" effort:, ol
the gateluen. If both steers ch trg"
i lit t tin! water they are not in
terfered with, but one sometimes
thinks there is more prospect of fun
by charging mi" of the oile r cowboys,
which is exactly what all the other
cowboys are hoping for, and then
there is some very lively horseman
ship, mi accurate throw of a lasso, and
a tripped steer. When the steer gets
up t usually consents to chase its cap
tor nto the surf, and is soon added to
the gaihering string of ipieer lish by
the boat's side. At times a steer, en
ticed out of the corral, will make a
dash for liberty inland. There are a
whoop and a chas -, nm another cap
ture, but som 'limes only alter a long
run.
Win n twelve steels have been fas
tened to .lie boat, six on a side, a sig
nal is given to the ship, the steam
capstan turns, ami boat and stecrsjhc
latter looking like a string of sea mon
sters, hi .' drawn up to the ship's side
by the tow line.
Two stout bellyhands an' slipped
under the steers and fastened to a
l.tekle connected with a steifit winch.
I hell up they shoot high in the air,
the tackle boom is swung iu and tlu v
are lowered 'tween .leeks, dripping
and amazed to be shoved into place
with many eri-s of "A wen, bipi!"
that 111 ty be tr.t:i-'ut-d, "All, th- le,
