Tho scent was new, but tho senEe was native and inborn. She straightened. I called "Steady!" a su perfluous noiso, however. She was down, steady, fast and true, with pa tient Ben's head well drawn forward at her flank, her first grtause, well done. The doctor flushed, but under such a cover his shot was not effective. On we go, two more flush wild ; we Eeparato and follow. Wilson and I go to the left, tho doctor and George to the right, up through an old oak woods whoso entire foundation was heavy broken rocks and fallen timber. Another fine point by Jeaunette and tho left bar rel brings to earth a handsome fellow. While reloading up go two more; hut, alas, the gun was open. Ben comes in and finds my bird, which Jeaunette could not locato. A few yards farther and two moro take towing; again the left does the iyork. My bird falls with a hroken wing. We go to find. Tho doptor and Ben have left us. Ye must search alone. From rock to rock bounds Jeaunette, seemingly coming no sparer to the hid den cripple. She takes a wider past down with the wind, swings and pomes pp. With head high and every sense on. the plert, on she comes, straight as an arrow, until confronted by a high flat rook, apparently too high for the leap; but, fearful of losing for nn instant what those delicate nostrils contain, up- sho goes, lauds on tho edge, "Starts to cross, hesitates, stops; tho hanging touguo is drawn in ; with it one side of the upper lip. Sho gently raises that slender left paw, lowers that knowing head, straightens tho bushy tail, and all is still. Tho only motion in that dumb animal was the heating heart; the breathing even seemed hushed. For 200 yards in any direction could be seen this small statue of mottled narblo on its immense browustouo base in this old woods, where all was so still, it was a sight to gladden the jieart of any true sportsmaij. Tp mo it was "beautiful. Ten paces inftpnt of her, crouched at ho foot of a tree, well bidden under u rock, we found my bird, a handsome cock, only wing tipped.

"Join the militia, if you wish, my boy," said tho old man in his kindly jvav, "but don't get in a company that jasa fat captain." ft on-t seo what difference that can make,1' returned the boy. "Do you mean q pout cud that a fat man can't Well, not oxactly that, my poy," osplaiued the old man; "but in somo ways yon will find tho thin man or tho man of medium build preferable. Didn't I over toll you of my experience?" "Nevor." "Ah, that explains your doubts, then. Ten see, I once had an ambition to wear a uniform and march behind a baud, just like you, and I joined a com pany that unfortunately had a fat cap tain. No one thought of the captain par ticularly at tho timo tho company wa? organized, but wo all learned to look put for 'such, trifles later. ' Wbilp wq were in the armory it Svas all right and pyerytbing always passed pff satisfac torily, but wheij we began tq dril out ef doors ah, then, we fotipd bow seri ous a matter drilling with a fat captain wns." "But Why?" asked the boy. "You haven't told mo that yet." "He'd lose his breath just at critical moments. He'd start us out at double time and then 'get so winded himself that he couldn't stop us. Of course we wonld havo to go on. We were too well drilled to slop until we received the or der to do so. I remember once he start ed us out, lost his breath, was unable to order a halt or to keep up with the pqlumn and wo ran three miles before we stopped." " ,Vhatmadaypqstopther?,l Squired thp boy. . 'Wo ran into a stone wall," replied tho old man promptly.- "Pooh! Why didn't you scale it? You were a nico kind of soldiers, you were. If I'd been your captain, I'd have court martialed the whole lot of you for dis obedience of orders." Then tho old man looked at tho boy, and the boy looked at the man, and a chasm seemed to open up between them. They "were no longer friends.

A TRAGIC ADVENTURE. The Thrilling Sequel to the Hanging; of ft Condemned Murderer. "Everybody remembers when the great Texas murderer, Dick Masters, was hanged," said E. M. Cary of Waco, "but the strange death of Sheriff Win ters, who sprung the trap, has been kept out of the papers. After Masters' body was cut down, the county jihysician pro nouncing the murderer dead, the sheriff Ordered four deputies to carry tho body to his private laboratory, where ho used to pursue his medical experi ments alone. He was bound to dissect the powerful, well developed body of Masters, so ho shut himself up with tho corpse and went to work. The sheriff moved about briskly, making a great clatter with his instru ments. Several times he went to tho windows and peered out, but the neigh borhood was deserted. Ho scon discov ered that the .drop on the scaffold had not broken Masters' neck, and the sher iff thought that was fortunate, as ho al ways had experimented on tho restora tion of life whenever opportunity afford ed. He laid down his instrunienis.and began to try and restore life. Tho even ing shadows drifted into night. It was a noisy town and tho shouts and laugh ter of revelers conld be heard every where. Several iir.es tho crowds passing-the sheriff's room thought hoy heard the sounds of scuffling, and more than puco a muflled shout ras jieard.. But the pleasure pcekcrs on the streets passed along without giyiug a thought: fq this. On. tho following day Sheriff Winters failed tc ppnear at his office, Nobody had seen him Sijrehc locked himself in tho laboratory with Masters' body. Finally the mayor of tho town and sev eral deputy sheriCs went to the labora tory, but rapping at the door nor shouts would bring any answer. Then they broke open the dcor. The sight beforo them nearly turned their hair gray. Tho room was a total wreck. Tho furni ture was strewn, about tho room, smacked to pirces, and everything boro evidence of a terrible struggle. Sheriff Winters lav on tho floor, dead, and the marks about his throat showed that ho had been strangled. A few feet away lay tho dead body of the murderer, Mas ters.

SHORT SKETCH OF A SUCCESSFUL MAN OF LITERATURE. How He Abandoned Architecture For Story Wrlllns The Greenwood Incident Show That There la Sometimes Something; In a Jfame. Much has beep said and written about Thomas Hardy's work, but very little indeed is generally known of the man himself. An obvious reason is the nov elist's dislike of personalities, his shrink ing from public curiosity, and the sim ple, serene almost mediaeval tone of nature that dominates him. As a young man he proposed to fol low architecture as a profession and studied with diligence. He went into the office cf the well known architect, Sir Arthur Blcmfield, A. R. A., in London. While equipping himself for his future career, he used his spare mo ments in writing a novel that he called "Desperate Remedies." This book, afi er several refusals at last found a" pub lisher, but it did Hardy no more gcod than harm. Meantime, following his architectural work, ho carried out his Grst coinnii&uon naturally a modest . M J It pne, as young farcintccts aro uoc nsuauy fptrpsted with pathedrals. Although his maiden, effort jn. letters bad met with comparati-y) failpre, his zeal was un abated, fop he immediately wrote "Un der thp Greenwood Tree," At the time tbjs book appeared Fred prick Greenwood, new the distinguish ed student of Enropeau policies, edited Tho Cornhill Magazine. It is a habit with Mr. Greenwood occasionally to "prowl" about old bookstalls. Looking over a basketful of cheap books all thrown together, he chaeced to light upon "Under tho Greenwood Tree." For the sake of its name he picked it up, paying a few .pence for it. The able editor saw at a glance that there was genius in that neglected and discarded work, -and, finding out Hardy, then in his thirty-first year, he commissioned him to writo a novel for The CqruhilL It was then that Hardy, forced by cir pumstanpes as welj as ijjipejled by his loye. for otters. abanpual architectprp, aujt, ' throwing' liimself in.tp his "Work vth.perfeptsfnglenps pf purpose, wrote Far' Frpm hp Nodding Crowd," a bppji Jhat now stands Yith a fow others among the lasting literature achieve ments of this century. Though he is neither listless nor lan guid, Hardy's appearabce is that of a man who has lately recovered from on illness. His cheeks are slightly sunken and his skin is sallow, speaking of sed entary labors, the midnight lamp aud 01 a cuubuinuuu uuic coniu uui support mentally as robust as be is physically delipatc, pr it niay be tljat the strong mid. has. Bomctipips q struggle against the dropping of tho body Hard? is poithpr taUncr commanding in stature, Bia manner is free from nervousness, showiuess or excessive movement ; indeed, a trauqnil, thought- tnl spirit is cnaraeteristic ot mm, and there is nothing in his presence that is strong enough to intimate the quality of his mind. The most that can be said is that his face is exceedingly keen and clever. His bronzed hair, now tinned with gray and brushed back, is becom ing thin. His slender mustache adds point to his finely modeled features. Al though sparo in type, his shoulders are broad and give him tho appearance, of being larger than ho is, when he is seen sitting dqyqi. As is the case with tpaay English writers, Hardy- b'v-pa i the country and goes to London once every year for a few weeks to brush- away tho cobweb3 I by contact with men who keep the rust j from their steel and the tarnish from their silver. Hardy's quiet home is not far away from the pretty little town of Dorchester, in Dorsetshire, his native county. " This heme is entirely the work of his own hands. Every room, window and hall; every alcove, cupboard and door way is designed to suit his own and his wife's fancy, hp ouse stands on a small piece 'of Jand. and. s, surrounded hy a few ftcres qf garden and lawn. The mapper in which the land came into his possession is interesting. The particular piece of ground ie wanted was part of a large tract belong ing to a land company of which the Prince of Wales was president. Though the prince did not know Hardy person ally, he greatly admired his work.

Only second to importance to produc ing a fine picture is the fact that tho work when completed should hp seen to, an advantage on the vVaU"whrp it is placed. In consulting with a leading decora tor on the subject, ho said : "In tho first place, it may be suggested that it is not desirable to put oil paintings in the same room with engravings cr draw ings in water colors, crayons or other like materials. It is often done, fre quently as a matter of necessity, but we consider it, from a point of artistic taste, a mistake. "Again, there should be a certain classification of subjects in the pictures ornamenting the walls, as inattention to this is occasionally ludicrous. Irecall one instance where, there, was-a print of Kubens' 'Descent From the Cross,' ancl, hanging pn either, side of it, engravings pf Wilkia'a pillage Festival' and Meis gonier's 'Cavalry Charge.' Surely noth ing could bo jno're absurd than placing i immediately juxtaposition works in which the motives of the designs are so directly opposite as tho illustration of death, a village ievel and the fierce shock of battle. "As a general rule, it is well to place pictures of a certain order of design to gether. Some works can only be seen to advantage in a bright and others in a subdued light, while it is equally cer tain that many lose nothing if placed above the line of sight, and others gain rather than loso if hung much nearer the floor. '.' A medallion, pr bas-relief of the right sort set 'in "here pr. there ameng the pic tures is a relief to the artistio sense, and, above all, all sorts and conditions of frameo should not be put together in a hodge podge. Gold and white and gilt do not offends, when in closo posi tion, but pictures iramed in oak or any dark wood should be kept by them selves. Crayon portraits of photographs should never be visible in a parlor or drawing room, and to overcrowd the walls of any room with pictures, gcod, bad and indifferent, is the very acme of poor taste." Now YorkBecordeav PU5H IT ALONG o Piece fop The Apology Was Accepted. "There is a good story on The Exam iner,' 1 said J. Eoss Jackson, the ex nowspaper man, to somo friends in the Palaco yesterday, "and although I'm put of thp business I can't overlook its merit ou that account. It appears that q druggist named Putnam was killed in Willows recently by a man named Se horn. The telegraphed report camo to Tho Call and also to The Chronicle. Tho nest morning, when Managing Ed itor Hamilton of The Examiner was looking over tho record of tho day, ho discovered that his paper had been 'scooped' on that particular item. He thereupon sent for Mr. Corey, the coast editor of the paper. " 'Mr. Corey,' he said, with a digni fied look on his face, 'have we a corre spondent in Willows?' "'Yes.' " 'Did he send ha a report of that murder?' " 'Fire him.' " 'How? By mail? " 'No. By telegraph. We can't dis pose of a man like that too quickly. A correspondent who doesn't know that a murder has been committed in his town isn't fit for tho position. - Bounce him. ' "Mr. Corey went to his record book of correspondents and presently returned to the managing editor. " 'Mr. Hamilton, there are certain circumstances in this man's favor that' " 'There are no circumstances that would justify such an exhibition of in competency. Bounce him, I say !' " 'But, Mr. Hamilton, this case has no parallel That -man has a good ex cuso for overlooking the importance of the story. ' u 'Well, what was his excuse?' in quired the editor, becoming nervous. " 'Well,' answered Corey, scratching his chin a moment, 'he was the man who got killed. ' "Mr. Hamilton lapsed into silence and went ou reading some proofs.
