THAT PLUCKY GIRL.
i
LIGHT, stranger!
Alight and rest
yourself! Here,
Mow! Pete! Some
of you lazy fellows
take the stranger's
beast and be quirk
nbout It! No Chi
nee? No. stranger,
not while there’s a
nigger or a white
fnee to be hurt In
Sllvcrvllle. No yel
low-faced scoundrels for old Jeb Sloan.
Have a chair, stranger, or perhaps you
will go In and register the first thing?"
I went.
Presently the landlord came out and
n" lotned me.
"Tuke a seat, stranger—Mr. Kendall,
v v I suppose 1 ought to say, seeing that
you wrote your name as such, though
here we don't know that a man always
puts down the name his mother gave
him.”
"I haven’t had oocaslon to abandon
my nnme yet,” said I, laughing. “I
hope It won't be very long before sup
per Is ready, Mr. Sloan. My mountain
ride has given me an excellent appe
tite."
"It will be on the table In about halt
an hour’s time. There'B a tine perch
for supper; one of the men caught It
this morning. It you’re hungry, the
cook can give you some coffee and
something to eat now.”
"No, thanks, Mr. Sloan; I’ll wait and
enjoy a good cigar and this mountain
scenery a while. Have a cigar? They’re
prime, I assure you."
“Thank you. That’s an offer I sel
dom go back on—thank you. stranger;
■ but you needn't mind that there ‘mis
ter’ any more."
"Been here long?” I asked, as I lit my
weed.
2%; "A matter of fifteen years slnoe I
came down here, and began keeping
this hotel.”
-■xou ve seen a good many cnangee
In that time, X suppose?"
"I have. There were Indiana thicker
than hops, right up to the very doors,
when I first came. Now they’re very
scarce. Plenty of Chinese, though. I'd
just as soon have the Indians. Ugh! I
hate the yellow varmints!"
"Then you agree with the sentiment
'the Chinese must go,’ landlord?”
"Stranger, they're gone, so far as old
Jeb Sloan is concerned. I won't have
one about while there's a nigger this
side of the Rockies, as I’ve said before
now."
"Well, I don't muoh blame you, Sloan.
I don't like them myself. I suppose
you've had adventures with wild beasts
and Indians, too? Regular hair-raising
times?"
“Well, Mr. Kendall, I-"
At that moment a slight, graceful
girl, with short, black curls, black eyes,
lovely hands and feet (as I saw at a
glance), a sweet, gentle face, and an
altogether ladylike and refined air,
cast* e%t osi the vaningh, Aewaed la a
trlai blue calleo dress, with a ertmson
ribbon at the collar circling her white
throat, and addressed old Sloan:
"Father," said she, “my pony is lame,
and I want Black BUI to ride over to
the postofllce."
“Well, tell Pete to get him up for
you," said the old man, looking at her
with an air of pride.
“Yes, sir.”
With a half-glance at me, the little
beauty disappeared, leaving me Quite
astonished at such a ladylike appari
tion In such an out-of-the-world spot.
The old landlord saw my look of sur
prise, and. as the light figure disap
peared In the house, he said:
“My daughter, sir, Don’t look much
like her dad, does she? We can take
care of daisies when we've got them,
if we do live in the mountains,” said the
old man. “You were asking me about
adventures. You wouldn’t think as
that little girl was one of the coolest
hands hereabouts, would you, now?
She can break the wildest horse on the
plains, ride the fastest horse, and shoot
FIRED THROUGH THE KEYHOLE,
stralghter than any man. woman, or
child in the diggings. Yes, stranger,
I’ve had adventures, but I don’t know
as I ever did anything more jhan that
little girl did, the time she saved all
the boys’ dust for them. It was about
two years ago.” began Sloan. “We
never thought of leaving the place all
alone, or the girl, either, for though
Belle is not a coward, it isn’t safe in
these parts.
"But there had been a mishap over
at the Lone Tree Mine, and some of the
men needed help, so It Just happened
that every mother’s son on the place
went over to the mine. There was two
girls working in the house, but they
had gone out to buy something, and
there was not a soul but Belle left at
home. I knew the men had a lot of
'nuggets in my big blue chest for safe
keeping, and the key was in my drawer,
but none of us ever thought of danger, i
There was no Indians about, and we ’
did act think of anything else. But j
there was something worse than Indians
—a mean white man. He was a ruffian
that the men had driven out of the
tamp on account of his meanness, and
none of us knew that Red BUI was in
the neighborhood. We called him Red
Bill because of his fiery red hair; and
for general wickedness he couldn’t be
beaten. If I had known he was prowl
ing about, I’d never have left my girl
alone, you may be sure of that. But
I didn’t even give him a thought, nor
did Belle. I had given her a very pretty
sewing machine for a present, and she I
was sitting there, on account of the 1
'.I-. !■ ' ..
heat, with all the doom open, singing
and sewing away a» contented aa could
be, when all of a sudden somebody
said:
“ 'How do you do, Miss Belle?' right
at her elbow.
"Belle looked up, and there stood Red
Bill laughing at her, and she was alone,
und no one In sight. She was awfully
frightened, but did not make any fuss.
She just said, smiling as pleasant as
a May morning:
*' ‘How do you do, Bill? When did
you get back?’
" 'Well, I haven’t been here long,’
said BUI. ‘And I ain't going to stay
much longer. Can you guess what I
have come for, Miss Belle?’
“Belle turned faint, but quickly said:
" 'I suppose you have come to Bee
father.’
"Then Bill laughed heartily, and said:
" ‘No, I did not. I knew they had all
gone before I came. I want those nug
gets out of the chest, and then I want
you. Belle Sloan. Who's here to hinder
me from taking both, I wonder?’
“Then Belle said, as calmly as she
could:
“ ’I suppose there's nobody to hinder
you, BUI; but I hope you’re going to act
the gentleman.’
“ ‘I hope so,’ said BUI; 'but I'll have
to request you to get the key of the
blue chest for me. I don't know where
they keep It.'
" ‘What If I don't do lt?‘ said Belle,
looking up at him.
"He smiled and laid his hand on the
revolver In his belt, and said:
" ‘I think you had better, Belle. I
came for it, and I am not likely to go
without It.'
"Belle saw there was nothing for It,
she being alone, but to pretend she was
going to surrender till she could hit on
a plan. She wasn't going to give up the
men’s hard-earned gold, not she. But
she had to appear as if she were afraid,
so she said:
" ‘BUI, I wouldn’t give you that key,
If I could help It. 1 want you to tel)
the men I didn't do It willingly.’
"BUI laughed, and said:
■When I see them, I will. Hurry
up. Belle. It would be unpleasant for
you If they came Just now.'
“By that time Belle had hit on her
plan. If she could only make It work.
“There's a cupboard in that room,
with a high shelf to It, and on the ahelf
a box, where I keep my papers. She
knew the key wasn’t there, and she
knew that she was dealing with the
worst ruffian on the plains, and If Bhe
tried to do anything and failed, her
life wasn't worth a red cent. If she
didn’t try, she knew he'd keep his word
about carrying her off. So, to save her
self, and the boys' gold, she made up
her mind to risk It.
“ 'BUI,' she said, ‘I’ll get the key, but
you must lay down that revolver. I
can’t trust you.’
“ 'You want to trick me,' said BUI.
" 'How could IT' asked Belle, as In
nocent as a lamb. ‘You know I'm In
your power, and you might be gentle
man enough to lay down that revolver
while I'm busy getting that key.'
" 'Well, there, then!* said BUI potting
his revolver on the table close to the
cupboard door, not thinking of any
danger from the girl.
“She stepped and unlocked the door
and reached up to the Bhelf.
" ‘Father keeps the key In a blue tin
box on that shelf.’ she said; ‘but I don’t
believe I can reach the shelf.’
“ ‘Perhaps I can,’ Bill said, grinning
(he was a mighty tall fellow), so he
stepped up, Just as Belle wanted him to,
for the Instant he was Inside the
closet, she closed the door to, locked it,
shot the bolt Into the socket, and,
stranger, she had him.
“He began to curse and swear and
fling himself against the door, but It
was stout, and he hadn’t much room
to work, so it held tight.
“And Belle picked up hla revolver
and shot straight through the keyhole,
not missing him an inch.
“ 'I’ll shoot every time you stir!’ she
said. ‘You know me, BUI Wilder, and
you have got sense enough to keep still
when you are beaten. If you break that
door I’ll shoot you down! The men will
settle you when they come.'
“And, stranger, that plucky little girl
stood guard over that wild rascal till
we did come. *
"Then there was a rare hubbub!
"The girl and the gold all safe, and
Red Bill a prisoner in the closet.
"We gave him a coat of tar and feath
ers, and ordered him out of camp.
“Some of the men wanted to hang
him, but Belle wouldn't let them. j
"They all put some money together
and bought Belle the prettiest pair of
sliver-mounted revolvers you ever saw,1
to show their gratitude.
"But Bed BUI has not been here since,
and I don’t think he is Ukely to come
again.
“Stranger, here comes the men, and
there goes the supper bell."
PUT SCIENCE TO NEW U8E.
Erudite Commliiloa Mow Selecting a
Site for Rio Janeiro.
Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil,
has a notoriously bad climate. It Is a
fastness of yellow fever and subtle trop
ical ailments, and the death rate Is so
alarmingly high as to seriously affect
the commercial prosperity of the city.
Some time ago the Brasilian govern
ment took in hand the question of re
moving their capital and appointed a
scientific commission to fix a site, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. The commis
sion have selected a plateau which
should be a real land of promise to the
transmigrants from the coast. The
spot Is between the parallels of 15 de
grees 40 minutes and 16 degrees 8 sec
onds south, and the meridians of 49 de
grees SO minutes and 51 degrees west.
It Is over 4,000 feet above the level of
the sea and its temperature resembles
that of middle France. There Is plenty
of water for agriculture and no yellow
fever. The journey by railway from
the coast is a matter of some eighteen
hours. This is believed to be the first
occasion on record in which science has
keen calls* In to akeasee the site ut s
capital.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN BIO-HORN,
It Yon Kill Oh of Thm Yon May Call
Yourself a Sportsman.
At last we have reached that gallant
fellow, the mountain sheep or big-horn.
A true cliff-dweller Is he. Born under
the shelving rocks of a beetling cliff,
sometimes actually cradled In the snow,
and reared In the stormy atmosphere
of high altitudes, he Is a typical moun
taineer. Wherever you find him at
home, depend upon it that you will also
find the finest scenery of the district.
This animal loves a blrds-eye view of a
mountain landscape as well as does any
member of the geological survey. A
steep descent, with a narrow, level val
ley and a thread-like river spread like
a relief map three thousand feet before
him, is his delight. In td£mer times he
was venturesome, and often wandered
miles away from his mountain home to
explore tempting tracts of bad lands;
and, being unmolested, he sometimes
took up a permanent residence In such
places. But the venturesome inhab
itants of low, isolated mountains and
shelterless bad lands have paid with
their lives for their pioneering, and now
a mountain sheep Is rarely found else
where than amid mountains worthy of
the name. Kill one fine old mountain
ram by your own efforts In climbing and
stalking, and We will call you a sports
man, with a capital 8—provided you
save his head for mounting, and his
flesh for the platter. But no ewes, mind
you! Ewes and lambs count against
you, rather than to your credit. Can I
ever forget how I once traveled all the
way from Washington to Wyoming,
killed Just one superb mountain ram
amidst grand scenery preserved him,
carried his "saddle” to Washington,
and called my pleasure trip a complete
success? Hardly. Even the recollec
tion of It is worth four times the money
it cost. That particular mountain sheep
stood four feet three Inches In height at
the shoulders. He was four feet ten
Inches In length of head and body, and
his girth was three feet eight Inches.
He leaped off a low ridge of bare rock,
fell dead on a foot of snow In the head
of a rock-walled gulch, and oh! boys,
how line he was! Up in the mountain
park he had been pawing through the
snow to get at the spears of dry grass
that were there obtainable; and In spite
of the difficulty of the process, and the
pitiful scantiness of the grazing, I was
astonished beyond measure at finding
that his stomach contained fully half a
bushel of that same grass. He was not
only In good flesh, but positively fat;
and from the fact that to save our lives
Fleming, the packer, and I, both muscu
lar men, could not lift him upoh a mule
to carry him to our camp, and for other
reasons I am certain that he weighed
at least three hundred pounds.

day, eaye the New York Sun, and this
is his latest anecdote:
Joseph H. Choate and Edward Lau
terbach were associated In a suit a short
time ago and won. As the Jury left
their seats Mr. Lauterbach turned to
Mr. Choate and said:
"Choate, we won this verdict because
we happened to know more law on this
subject than our adversaries."
"Yes?” queried Choate.
"Our clients are rich, you know, a
corporation and all that,” rejoined Lau
terbach.
"Yes?" again queried Choate. "What
do you think we ought to charge, Lau
terbach?"
“Oh, $750 apiece.”
"Tut, tut,” broke out Choate, impa

let me handle this bill, Lauterbach. I’ll
collect for us both.”
A short time afterward Mr. Lauter
bach was in Mr. Choate’s office in Wall
street, and Mr. Choate handed out a
check for $1,500 as Mr. Lauterbach’s
fee in the case, and said:
"Lauterbach, what do you think of
that?”
Mr. Lauterbach looked at the check,
Btroked his beard for an instant, and
looking intently at Choate, replied:
“Almost thou persuadest roe to be a

They Have a Natural One In Texas
Which Beats the Eastern One.
A man from Texas aat in the Hotel
Brunswick yesterday and told three
lies—told them deliberately, says New
York Press. He was not an Ochiltree,
either. One of them may be worth read
ing:. Said he:
' "You've got your new-fangled micro
phone at work, I see, but I Just want
to tell you folk up here that we have
a natural one down In Texas that beats
It all hollow. I reckon he’s about 12
years old now. He’s got two ears—
one big and one little. With the big
ear he can hear the rumbling of a storm
100 miles away. He beats the weather
bureau predicting rain. He hears every
year the song of Miriam after Moses
and his friends crossed the Dead sea.
He has heard the booming of the guns
at the battle of Waterloo, and even re
ports word for word the orders at Uor
poleon on that occasion. No sound that
ever started the air to vibrating is lost
on him. If he happens to get in the line
of excitation. With his little ear -He
can hear the fainteBt sounds on earth.
He can hear a fly walking on a window
pane, or flying through the air. He
can hear a flea hop, or a spider weaving
her web. On a dark night he can hear
a flsh swimming. I have known him to
hear night coming on and settle down.
He never heard the moon rise, but there
are good reasons, I am told, for that.
I am here to get Barnum to give him
a place In his freak show.”
The Mountain Goat a Stupid AnlmaL
AIM nugh Dm mountain goat Is a very
sure-footed and level-headed animal, he
Is said by those who have hunted him
(of whom I confess I am not one) to be
a very stupid animal and easily killed
when once the hunter reaches his
haunts, says a recent writer. In actual
weight he Is about the size of the Vir
ginia deer, but In bulk he seems to be
larger because of his shaggy fleece of
wool and hair. The horns are small,
smooth and jet black, and the hoof Is
a strange combination of rubber pad on
the Inside and knife-edge on the out
side, to hold the owner on snow, ice, or
bare rook without slipping.
ASLEEP AS SHE WALKS,
An Vauuillr Pronounced Cnee of ton*
iiambnllam In Denver.
Anna Rossman, a .beautiful woman
about 22 years old, was found walking
the streets of Denver In a somnambu
listic condition on a recent afternoon,
says the Rocky Mountain News. An
Italian fruit vender noticed the strange
conduct of the young lady near the
corner of 15th and Arapahoe streets.
She walked into the drug store at the
mining exchange, the police were noti
fied and the patient was taken to her
home. The case Is a very peculiar one,
and has before been brought to the at
tention of the police department during
the past two months. On account of the
family, all mention of the matter has,
until this time, been suppressed. It Is
evident, however, that the somnambu
listic tendencies of the unfortunate
woman have become chronic and the
peculiar features of the attack are at
tracting the attention of physicians.
Miss Rossman formerly lived In Pueb
lo. There she attracted attention by
her strange performances, walking
about the streets apparently awake, but
really asleep and totally unconscious
of where she was going. Removing to
Denver, the same conduct was contin
ued, and the family then went to Chey
enne. They again came to this city and
settled at the place where they now re
side. It is claimed by the friends of the
afflicted woman that she 1b possessed of
supernatural powers. Is gifted with
second sight, and that other strange
phenomena are within her control. In
these spells she would attract but little
attention were it not for the fact that
she is utterly obllvlous of passing ob
jects and walks before carriages, street
cars and other vehicles with reckless
ness. Otherwise her appearance is that
of a person In possession of her normal
senses. A little over a month ago she
was found at the union depot, and
Yard master Pierce discovered that she
was not aware of where she was. A
carriage was called, she was taken to
the police station, and afterward to her
home. Again on the 7th of March she
was found In a similar condition at the
Glenarm hotel. One day when Dr. John
son, the police surgeon, was In a res
taurant, Miss Rossman walked In and
the waiter thought that she was Intox
icated. ' Grasping the situation. Dr.
Johnson left his meal, took the patient's
arm, and quietly walked with her to
her home. Miss Rossman being all the
while utterly oblivious of the notice she
was occasioning from bystanders. The
young lady had come from Cheyenne
Just before her latest sleep-walking ex
perience, and walked from the depot to
the place where it was found that she
was still asleep. No Information could
be gained as to what she had been do
ing at Cheyenne or whether she had
made that trip In a somnambulistic
state. When the ambulance came to
the mining exchange Miss Rossman was
taken quietly to the conveyance and
realized nothing of the situation until
her home was reached. She then
awakened out of the deep sleep, but

NOBILITY OF THE DONKEY.
He Used to Be Classed Among the Great
Ones.
The donkey, who rather undeserved
ly has come to be considered one of the
“naturals” of the animal world, was
dedicated by the ancients to Bacchus,
while the ass of Silenus was raised to a
place among the stars. Apparently he
was a more Intellectual personage in
early days than he Is supposed to be at
present. Ammonlanus, the grammar
ian, possessed one who Invariably at
tended his master’s lectures on poetry,
and would even leave the choicest
luncheon of thistles to do so. “Wicked
as a red ass” ran an old proverb, which
the Copts believed In so firmly that
every year they sacrificed an unhappy
animal of the detested color by hurling
it headlong f/om a wall. In an old
DiacK tetter translation or AlDertus
Magnus the donkey figures In the fol
lowing extraordinary recipe: "Take an
adder’s skyn, and aurl plgmentum, and
greeke pitch of reupirltlcum, and the
wage of pewe bees, and the fat or
grease of an ass, and breake them all,
and put them all In a du)| seething pot
full of water, and make It to seethe at
a glowe fire, and after let It waxe cold',
and make a taper, and every man that
shall see light of It shall seeme head
lesse.” Burton, In his "Anatomy of
Melancholy,” mentions as a valuable
amulet, "a ring made of the hoofe of
an asse’s right foot carried about.” A
tract written by a certain "A, B,” in
1695, entitled “The Noblenesse of the
Asse,” is exceedingly laudatory of that
excellent animal. “He refuseth no bur.
den; he goes whither he is sent without
any contradiction. He lifts not his
foote against anyone; he bytes not; he
is no fugitive, nor malicious affected.
He doth all things In good sort, and to
his liking that hath cause to employ
him." But what chiefly fills the worthy
author with admiration Is the donkey's
voice—his "goodly, sweet, and contlnu
all brayings,” which form “a melodious
and proportionate kind of musicke.”
Leap* of a Mountain Sheep,
No; the mountain pheep does not leap
from great heights, and lai)4 either up
on his horns or his feet. He knows th<;
strength of his material too well to try
It. His horns and skull might success
fully withstand the shock, but the
weight of his body would break his
spinal column in two or three places,
to say the least of it. It Is true that
when hard pressed a Jierd will some
times plunge down a terribly steep In
cline, sliding and bounding from point
to point, until they plough Into the
“slide-rock” below; but as to leaping
over a sheer precipice, I never saw any
one who even claimed to have ever wit
nessed such a thing, says an authority.
The old rams often fight by butting each
other terrifically, and often splinter,
or sometimes break off the ends of their
horns In that way.
Shortness of Time.
We all of us complain of the shortness
of time, and yet have much more than
we know what to do with. Our lives
are spent either in doing nothing at all,
or In doing nothing to the purpose, or
in doing nothing that we ought to do.
We are always complaining that our
days are few, and acting as though
there would be no end of them.
