It 13 T was about twelve yearn old, and slio was a little beauty. "Whenever I stopped at Old Ferguson's cabin, I found Tret tho sun shine and Joy of tho lonely place. Her mother was dead. Trot could not re member her mother, as she had been no more than a babe when Mrs. Ferguson died. Tho girl was rmall, but still she was wonderfuly developed. She had the nerve of n man, nnd hor strength and quickness were really as tonishing. Sometimes sho would laughingly in vite me, to feel of her muscle. Old Ferguson was a reserved man, rather sullen and suspicious toward strangers. Still, he seemed to bo educated, and I wondered why ho lived there In that lonely mountain hut, so far from civil ization. There was something strange about it One time I asked him: "Why don't you move to Bozcman or Helena? What Is your Idea of living hero where nobody can find you?" He Bhot me a queer look. "Mebbe that's What I want," ho grunted. "What?" "Nobody to find me." If I had not known him well, I might have taken that as a hint; but I knew I was always welcome at Ferguson's. "You seem to forget Little Trot," I ox postulated. "It Is scarcoly right to bring her up here without any advan tages." "Waal, I dunno 'bout that." ho re turned. "Gals brought up In big places don't nlwus turn out for tho best; an thnr hain't no temptations fer Trot hyar. She kin enjoy the free air, tho sunshine, the birds an' flowers, nn' I won't hev ter watch fer snakes all thor time human snakes, I mean." "But her schooling " "Say, Swift, you'll muddle mo all up, an' get me ter tWnkln o' things as I don't knnr to. I wish you'd drop It." And he would never talk on tho sub ject again. In the course of tlmo I camo to sur mise there was a mystery connected with old Ferguson's life, and that ho lived in that secluded spot for a reason. But I never questioned him. I knew it would be useless. In time, however, he partly revealed his secret. He had nn enemy a deadly foe who had hunted him for years. He did not explain why the man was his enemy; but I came to suspect that tho dead Mrs. Ferguson had something to do with It. "Ther onery whelp'll find me ng'ln some day!" the hermit declared. "When he does thar's goin' ter be a rccker nln'." I had not seen Ferguson and his pretty daughter for six months. Passing that way, I sought tho se cluded cabin. T yffhouppr wasopen,,andswjnglngJn the breeze. Something looked wrong about tho place. STILL CLINGING TO THE OPEN UMBRELLA. I sprang from my norse, but no one met me at the door. Then I hurried Into the cabin. There was a huddled figure sitting on a stool in one corner. As I entered the figure moved, and a haggard, ghastly face, with wildly-glaring eyes, looked up at me. There was no recognition in those eyes. Yet Ferguson was beforo me. "For God's sake, what Is the matter, man?" I cried aghast. He mumbled something I did not un derstand. I leaped forward and caught him by tho shoulder, giving him a fierce shake. "'What's happened? Tretty ' "Gone!" "Gone where? Dead?" "Worse!" I caw the man was almost perished from exhaustion and hunger. First I gave him a little watered whisky, and then I made him eat some thing. "Ndw tell me what has happened?" I commanded. His shaking hands fumbled In his pockets, and he brought out a ecrap of dirty paper. On the paper, scrawled by a lend pencil, were these words. "I've found you at last, Harris! You stole the mother, now I will steal the daughter. You'll never see your girl again, and Ben Raven hns his revenge. She's mine, and you know what I mean by that." "Explain It!" was my demand. "How came you by thls7" "Found it hyar." "When?" "Week ago. Was away six hours. Came back found that Tret gone! I've hunted everywharl I'll never see my little girl agin!" I knew Ferguson waB an expert trail er, and he was familiar with the moun tains. It looked as if his enemy had triumphed. But I did my best to give him now life and courage. I kept at him till he was In milch bn tsr shape than when I found him. Then we went out to search for the kidnaped girl. H fin re The render may not believe In luck, but I do. I have seen too many strange frenks of cards not to believe In It. Luck was with us that day. Old Ferguson had scoured the moun tains all about, and ho did not believe his child wns within hundreds of miles of his cabin. Wo were riding through n canyon about twenty-five miles from tho cabin. At our left ran a strong, deep' stream. On cither hand the walls of tho can yon rose perpendicularly. A sudden scream caused us to look up. On tins opposite side of tho stream, far up the face of tho canyon wall, was a big black opening. In the blackness of this opening n figure suddenly appeared. "It's Tret!" Ferguson shouted the words, clutch ing my arm. Then' something astounding hap pened. The girl suddenly opened a huge um brella, and, In another moment, clinging fast to the handle, she sprang out from the opening. As she did this a man came into view, and clutched at her. Ho missed. Then wo saw him reeling on tho verge, trying to gain his balance once moro. Like a Hash Ferguson flung up his rifle, and flred. With a hoarse shriek of horror tho man fell outward, and camo whirling down. He passed tho girl, who was descend ing swiftly but steadily, still clinging to the open umbrella, which served as a parachute. Into the river I urged my horse. The man had struck with a great splash, and disappeared. The girl followed. Sho relinquished tho umbrella and swam toward mo. I picked her up. Little Tret was saved. Sho told us her story as wo sat before the open flro In Old Ferguson's cabin thnt night. The man hnd taken her to a cave which wns tho retreat of several ruf fians nnd robbers. Their booty was stored there. Amid tho stuff was a big government umbrella. Tlio regular entrance to the cave was gunrded, but they did not guard tho opening Into the canyon, aB thero seemed no possibility of any one enter ing or leaving that way. Trot had heard of parachutes, and sho conceived a desperate plan for es cape. Itaven was tormenting her when sho was driven to put her plan to the teBt. It happened we were passing at that very moment. Whether Ferguson's bullet reached his enemy or not could not bo known, but certain It Is thnt Raven disap peared, and never troubled Little Tret or her father afterward. Being satisfied his enemy was dead, "Ferguson" resumed his right name of Harris, nnd moved to Bozemnn. There Tret attended school, and she is now one of the most cultured and charming young ladles of the place. LOSING THE EMPEROR. Why. Nninloon,.'V...AiiGrjr ami ll.tfaaml to Itldo ', As to MnJ. Poppleton's letter, dated March 15, 1817, It may be stated that some little sensation had recently been occasioned In the Island by the reputed "losing" of Napoleon by that offlcor whon accompanying him on one of his "Mly r'.'lea. says sf GfcV.loman's Magazine. Alluding to this circumstance MnJ. P. writes: "With regard to my encounter with his majesty, it is erroneously stated. Wo never exchanged a syllable. In con sequence of his riding at a vory great rate I lost sight of him altogother, but, being perfectly satisfied as to his ulti mate bafety, I did not trouble myself about him, but left him to return to Longwood when ho pleased. This he did In duo couise. I afterward related what had happened 10 Admiral Sir George Cockburn and ho desired of me "If we rode out again not to lose sight of the emperor, but to ride near him.' In tho course of a day or two he (Bona parte) sent to me to say he wished to ride. I sent word to him that I should attend him with pleasure, but that for the future I should ride nenr him If I chose, not ns his servant; that I should behave toward him with every dellcncy possible; that I would not Interrupt nor listen to his conversation, and If a wish were expressed by him to be left alono It should bo complied with. The horses were Immediately unsaddled, his breakfast equipage was unloaded and ho gave out that he was unwell. We have never ridden together since. A most terrible business was made of It all, but not a word of truth In the whole of It. Tho French officers who were with him were determined at that time to misrepresent everything and to make him dislike the English. In this they completely succeeded for n length of time, but Napoleon 2t for some time past been of a contrary opinion and ex pressed himself highly pleased with my self personally. I have no doubt but that all I desired to be told him was misconstrued." A llleycllenne. Saturday afternoon passengers on a north-bound limits car going past Lin coln park saw a large, odd-shaped ob ject flitting among the trees nnd moving along a distant driveway In the same direction as the car. "It moves like a bicycle, but the top part Is too big for a man," said ono. "Maybe he's got a load of hay on his back," said another. "I bet that's the fat blcyclo agent," was the Inspiration of the man who spoke first. As the object sailed along people wondered. Suddenly there was nn opening In the trees and the object darted out Into the sunshine, disclosing a combination of bicycle and a large parasol. The Dally News reporter who was go ing to view the 600 feet extension of tho lake shore speeding drive yearned to know more. The car steadily gained on the rider, nnd when It had got far enough ahead the reporter dropped off the footboard and started on a cross country move toward a spot where In terception and an Interview seemed plausible. But it was too warm for the nature of the undertaking and tho bl cyollenne had passed the point of ar rival. The parasol had lace on It end ahi wore bloomers. Chicago News.

Eastern nuglerB nro taking n loaf out of tho book of tho flshormen of tho Pa cific coast. It will bo remembered that an enterprising Callfornlan wns tho first In tho country to utillzo tho Idea of attncklng fish by means of tho elec tric light. Ho had tho nets for his coast fishing studded with Incandescent lamps, which were connected to bat teries In nn nccompanylng boat. As soon na tho nets woro sunk tho curront wob turned on, nnd tho Incandescent filament drew fish from far nnd nenr, grently surpassing In Its effects on tho hauling of tho not tho most irresist ible of bnitB. Now nn Albany man has devised nn "electrical not," which works very much after tho samo fash ion, except that tho electric light used is fixed above tho water instead of bo low Its Biirfnco. When tho light 1b placed in position, tho nets nro set eithor to se.iwnrd of It or nround It, Hat upon tho bottom. When tho fish nro drawn to tho lamp n rubber tubo which runs along tho top of tho net Is lnflnted by n pump In tho boat, tho upper edge of tho net will risd to tho Biirfnco tho lower edgo being held down by sinkers nnd tho flBh nro caught. A Now Yorker has mndo a modification of tho California plan In using submerged lights. Ho simply puts a thrce-candlo-power lamp In a quart preserving Jnr, lowers It In tho water, and runs It with a sowing ma chine battery. Ho recommends thoso who wish to follow his examplo not to spond $20 on n battery, but buy nn elec tric hnndbook nnd, with thrco goblets securely fastened In a plain wooden box, mnko for thcruselves for about $2.50 a battery which works just na well. Ho snys that night fishing be comes a very lively sport if tho light Is placed anywhere In tho neighborhood of fish. They swim around and Bpond considerable tlmo Investigating, but as soon as their curiosity is satisfied, thoy get down to buBlness nnd discuss tho baited hook which Is dangling near-by. Exchange. ELECTRICITY AT SEA. Tho White Mirtit J l'rovod to lie. tho Ono the Knaloat nnd licit Hoen. Some Interesting experiments havo been mado on the visibility of tho elec tric light at Bea by tho government ot tho United States, Germany nnd tho Netherlands. Tho word "vlslblo" In tho report on tho testa mtana visible on a dark night with a clear atmos phere. Tho result of the experience of tho German commltteo was that a whlto light of ono candle power wbb vlaiblo 1.4 miles on a dark, clear night, and one mile on a rainy night. Tho Amorlcan teats resulted as follows: In very clear weather a light of ono candlo power was plainly vlolblo nt ono nnutl- cal inilo; one ot three candlo power at two miles; ono of ten candlo power was seen by the old of a binocular at four miles; one of twenty-nino candle pow er faintly at five miles, and one of thlr-ty-thrco candlo powor plainly at flvo miles. On an exceptionally clear night a white light of 3,2 candlo powor was readily distinguished at thrco miles; one of 5.6 candlo power at four miles nnd ono of 17.2 candlo power at flvo miles. In tho Dutch experiments tho results were almost similar, but a 10 candle power light was plainly vlslblo at flvo miles. For a green light tho power roquired was two for ono mile, fifteen for two miles, flfty-ono for threo miles nnd IOC for four mllea. Tho re sult of tests with a red light wero al most identical with thoso with green, but it was conclusively proved that a white light was by far the most easily seen. Delicious Tuscan Pudding. Mnko a boiled custard with ono pint of milk, sweetened with half a cup of sugar, boiled and poured on three beaten eggs, writes Elizabeth Robinson Scovll. Return tho mixture to the saucepan and stir until It thickens, but do not let It curdle as it will if it bolls for moro than a second. When cool add one pint of cream, half a cup of sugar, a quarter of a box of gelatine, dissolved and strained, half a teaspoonful of va nilla, a quarter of a teaspoonful of es sence of lemon, twenty drops of ex tract of bitter almond. Put in a mould with smooth sides and pack Jn ice and salt. The proportion is two quarts ot broken Ico to ono of coarse salt, well mixed. In an hour removo the mould, and after wiping It care fully uncover It, and with a knlfo scrape the frozen cream from tho sides. Beat It thoroughly, as this makes tho texture fine and smooth. If it Is near ly frozen add half a pound of sweet al monds, blanched and chopped lino, half a pound of candied ginger, cut In small pieces, and half a pound of citron pre oared In tho same way. Increnso la Number of Lire T.otr. General Dumont, of tho United States steamboat Inspection service has rec ords to show that during tho last fiscal year the number of lives lost on steam vessels approximately was 3C8. This was an lncreaso over tho average of tho preceding 18 years of 128. Tho great Increase was caused by tho large loss of life by the foundering of tho steamship Collma recently off tho Pa cific coast. Tho average for the last 19 years Is 247. Tho highest previous annual loss was G8C, In 1874; the lowest was 133, In 1S8G. Sho Got a Safety.
