MAN WITH A SHADOW.
j K had driven the
Apaches into the
wild fastnesses of
Devil’s Mountains,
but there they suc
cessfully eluded us,
and Colonel Brad
wick was about dis
couraged, when, one
night shortly after
dark, a sentinel
brought in a stran
ger.
He was at least six feet and three
Inches in height, and he could not have
weighed more than one hundred and
forty pounds, but still he did not seem
to be a man who was suffering from a
disease, as his step was steady, though
catlike, and his voice natural If re
strained at times.
This stranger had a wild, haunted
stare in his eyes, which combined with
a manner of glancing nervously over
his shoulders at intervals, made it seem
that he was in constant dread of some
thing. When he was presented to the
colonel he dropped the butt of his long
rifle on the groimd and made an awk
ward salute. m
“Well, my mm,” said Colonel Brad
wick, curiously,” what are you doing in
this Apache-infected section’ of the
country?”
' wa-ai, nunnei, was me arawiea re
ply, “t>«r ho some things as Is wuss’n
'Paches. though you may not believe
it. My name’s Saul Tropp.”
“What Is your business, Saul Tropp?”
“It’s mostly keepin’ under kiver when
the sun shines an’ layin’ low moonlight
nights.”
“Well, you seem to be In a bad section
of the country for such a business. The
sun shines every day, and there Is not
much cover for a man. There is more
moon here than in any other part of the
world. What do you want in this
camp ?”
“Reckoned I’d like ter be soclbul, el
you hev no objections. Out hyar a man
don’t find much of anything to be soci
bul with, an’ when white folks come
along he feels as tickled as a dorg with
i two tails.”
“Are you acquainted with these
mountains?”
"Are I? Wa-al, I should say I are! 1
know ’em durned nigh from from one
eend to t’other.”
“Then you may prove of service to
us. We are hot .after Red Hand’s butch
ers, but they know the section bo well
they have twice given us the slip when
they were cornered.”
FALL HEAVILY TO THE GROUND.
“Red Hand. I saw that critter once,
an’ I’ve alius regretted that I didn’t
make his close acquaintance. His ha’r
would hev been ah ornyment wuth hav
in’.”*
“Can you and will you assist us in
tracking down the red d—Is?”
“Wa-al, I’ll try it, but I warn ye, kun
nel, I’m not a very ’greeable galoot ter
hev around. I hev spells, an’ w’en I
hev spells, I’m wuss’n thunder. Arter 1
hev about one o’ them yar spells, you’ll
reckon you kin git along without my
aid, an’ not hafe try.”
For ail of this warning, the colonel
engaged the man, and then he u.rected
me to have a good watch set over the
fellow, as he might prove crooked.
Jeff Shaw, however, informed me that
he knew Tropp by reputation, and the
man was straight enough, though there
was not a doubt but he was crazy.
“He 'lows he’s alius follered by a
shadder,” explained Shaw, who was a
guide and scout.’ “Notice how he keeps
lookin’ over his shoulder uvry now an’
ag’in? Wa’al he’s lookin’ for the shad
der.”
“I observed a wild look in his eyes."
“Thet kem thar sence fom year ago,
when he killed a man over in Prescott.
They do say ther man he killed wuz
Saul Tropp’s perfect double—looked so
much alike one couldn’t ’a’ bin told
from t’other. Some folks even went so
fur as to say it wuz Saul Tropp as wuz
killed, and this man what has bin
dodgin’ his shadder ever sence is t’other
Tropp started out well. He had no
horse, but we found him tireless and
fleet of foot. Still, he was ever glancing
over his shoulder with those wild,
haunted eyes, and dodging when he
found *ls own shadow hanging close
upon him. He loved the darkness ol
ravines and gorges, and I fancied I un
derstood why he had buried himself in
the mountains.
I observed he had a peculiar way ol
toeing in with his left foot, and the im
pression made by that foot was one nol
easily forgotten.
Along in the middle of the afternoon
Saul had one of his “spells.” Of a sud
den he gave a wild yell, whirled about
and struck out right' and left.
It was really as desperate a battle
as I had ever witnessed, and I watched
it fascinated, until, utterly exhausted
Tropp fell gasping and foaming at the
mouth to the ground, where he lay In a
semi-unconscious condition.
However, in less than thirty minutes
i
he seemed all right once more, and we
went onward.
"I reckon I’d best go now, kunnel, fer
I’m shore you’re good an’ sick o’ me an’
my spells by this yaf time. I haln't
even so much as found one 'Pache sign
fer ye, so I reckon I’ll skip.”
But Colonel Bradwlck was interested
in. the fellow, and he would not hear it>
"When I don’t want you any more I’ll
tell you so,” was all he said.
Near midnight we were aroused by A
terrible racket, and I looked from my
tent to find Saul Tropp fighting with his
shadow in the moonlight. I watched
him a moment, battling like a fiend
with this Imaginary something, and
then he reeled into the deep shadow of
the mountains that rose to our right.
I new when the "spell” was over,
for Wieard Saul fall heavily to the
ground, uttering a dismal groan, and
then all was still.
In the morning we found him Just
where he had fell, and his own knife
was burled to the hilt in his heart. It
is supposed he had stabbed himself In
the mad contortions of his struggle, but
Jeff Shaw pointed out tracks on the
ground—a trail that led to the spot and
led away again. It was that of a man
who toed in with his left foot, exactly
as Tropp had dene, and it passed within
ten feet of the spot where a sentinel had
been posted. That sentinel swore no
living thing had passed him in the
night. Some said Saul Tropp had
sneaked out of the camp and returned
in the night; some shook their heads
and said nothing.
Deep in the darkness of a lonely ra
vine, amid those desolate mountains, we
burled him where no shadow could ever
haunt him more, for neither sunshine
nor moonlight ever reached the spot to
cast a shadow there.
HER FIRST OCEAN BATH.
Country Maid. Married Sliter and IVleked
Brother-In-Law.
At first she would and then she
wouldn’t; but really, after all, it would
be a shame after coming 600 miles to
the sea not to go into the surf. This
and the married sister from Brooklyn,
and the mild ridicule of her wicked
brother-in-law, settled it. But Bhe
shivered as she noted the effects of the
hired bathing suits upon the human
form divine. Some of them were just
too dreadful, says New York World.
You could mark her shrinking little
figure coming down the sands, piloted
by the married sister, to the spot where
waited the wicked brother-in-law.
Her freckled face was red, but not from
the sun. She kept her eyes on the near
foreground, certain that the 6,000 per
sons on the beach and pier were look
ing directly at her bare ankles.
"Oh, dear! let us go in quick; I want
to cover up!” she said pleadingly.
"Take her other hand, George,” said
the married sister. "Now, don’t be a
fool, Mary. You’re not the only one
here, remember,” added the old-timer,
rather obscurely.
"Come on!” cried the wicked
brother-in-law with a grin. And
they ran down, pit-a-pat, spit-a-splat
ter, just in time to meet a stiff roller
curling in.
“Jump now!” yelled the married sis
ter, but the wicked' brother-in-law
dragged her down with him, smother
ing a "iercing shriek of terror.
When the gentle, freckled face came
up again it was white instead of red,
and she choked with salt water, and
the smart in her eyes made the tears
flow. She looked reproachfully at the
wicked brother-in-law and shook him
off, but before she recovered speech an
other wave knocked her over and bur
ied her, screech and all.
"Keep hold of George!” cried the
married sister.
"Go ’way, you brut«!” gasped the lit
tle one. “Don’t you see I’m drowning?
Oh! Oh! Yeouw!”
Down she went again before a wave
not more than knee high. The wicked
brother-in-law laughed.
“I’ll never speak to you again!” she
sobbed, shivering '1 over, and cower
ing between the fear of the sea and the
mocking crowd on the sands.
“Come in here by the rope, Mary!”
yelled the married sister. "Bring her
in, George. What are you standing
around there for?”
“Never!” cried the freckled girl, get
ting her voice once more. “You never
told me it was ice water! And thet it
is nasty—ugh! I’ve swallowed a
bucketful of it—yes; and you think It’s
funny—don’t you touch me! I’m go
ing out! Now, you dare!”
But the wicked George grabbed her
round the slender waist and bore her,
kicking, struggling, shrieking, her eyes
flashing fire, out to the rope to his
wife. And there she remained in wild
frolic, terrors soon all forgotten, until
both the wicked brother-in-law and hie
wife had to Join in coaxing her to come
out.
Acute Kleptomania.
“When I was in India,” said the man
who had traveled, “ the native thieves
stole the sheets from under me while
I slept, and I never knew it!”
“Yes, and when I was in the North
west during the boom,” said the man
who will never admit that Ameriea can
be outdone, “I had to sleep in a room
where there were four real estate agents
and one of them stole a porous piastei
from my back without awakening me.”

BIO SLEEVES VALUABLE.
As Ufa Preservers tor Maidens Vko
Daily with the Surf.
For some time the hearts ot the sum*
mer girls have been torn by the appar
ent irrepressible conflict between the
prevailing style of puff sleeves and the
bathing dress. Now, it is a will-known
fact, that sea garments must take on
a certain slightly modified form, the
characteristics of land habiliments.
This stern edict was carried out in re
gard to bathing. But the result was
lamentable says Cleveland World. If
the dress really got into the water—
and, in spite of the funny photogra
phers, some of the dear girls do get wet
—down would come the proud fabric
of the sleeves with a comical result.
Then somebody devised a sort of wire
birdcage arrangement, and it became
very popular on land. When the sea
toyed with it, however, the effect was
funnier than before. Now rises a
Brooklyn genius who has invented a
rubber balloon affair which is to be in
flated and put inside of each big sleeve.
The really useful part of the things are
that they will act perfectly the part of
life preservers, and the fair maiden who
sports a pair of them can laugh at Nep
tune and the sea serpent, and at the
same time be filled with the proud con
sciousness of looking au fait when she
emerges from her plunge and walks up
the beach. They have already appeared
at Manhattan Beach and, needless to
say, created a sensation. Thus does
utility continue to be wedded to fash
ion. There will doubtless be discovered
a use for overgrown theatere hats one
of these days.
ROASTED BY BURNING BRICKS
The Horrible Death of Jacob Klein, a
Brlckmaker Living Hear Cairo.
Jacob Klein, a wealthy brick-maker,
met a horrible fate near Cairo, 111., re
cently. He had two large kilns of brick
in process of burning, and about 3
o'clock' in the morning the watchman
discovered that one of them was bulg
ing out, so that it was in danger of fall
ing. He called Mr. Klein and was told
to brace the wall. This he refused to
do, when Klein sprang from his bed
and said he would do it nimBelf. Going
hastily to the kilns, he started to pass
between them for the purpose of seeing
what the matter was, when the work
men tried to restrain him. Breaking
from them, he passed in Just as the
lower part of the wall fell out. The red
hot bricks caught him, burying him
from the feet to the waist, and holding
him fast, while the flames from the kiln
crept closer and closer. His cries for
aid were agonizing and could be heard
for half' a mile, but owing to the in
tense heat no assistance could be ren
dered him. The fire department was
called, but owing to the distance it was
nearly an hour before they arrived and
got £he iqass cooled down sufflciently to
permit of men going to his assistance.
When he was finally taken out he was
dead, the flesh from his'breast down
being baked to a crisp. Mr. Klein had
been engaged in the business since 1860.
Pnbllo School* In California.’
Facts as to the development of tilt
public school system of California show
that although it is only forty-seven
years since the first schoolhouse was
built in the state, yet now the annual
expenditure for public schools is nearly
$6,000,000 and 6,500 teachers are em
ployed in instructing 240,000 pupils.
These teachers are paid more liberally
than in any other state and they rank
high in efficiency. The state univer
sity and its affiliated colleges have
been very liberally endowed and the
competition of Stanford university hat
helped Instead of injuring it. The be
quest of J. C. Wllmerding of 3400,000
for the establishment of a school in
which boys may learn trades has fallen
due and the new technical school will
be under the state university and every
effort will be made to render it efficient

Prof. Austen of the Royal British
mint has recently made some electro
lytic experiments showing that glass Is
porous to molecules below a certain
weight and volume. A current Was
passed through a vessel containing an
amalgam of sodium separated by a glass
partition from mercury. After awhile
the amalgam was found to hare lost a
certain amount of its weight, while the
same amount had been added to the
mercury. The same result was ob
tained iy,lth an amalgam of lithium, but
with potassium, whose atomic weigh*,
and volume are high, the glass could
not be penetrated.
Colonel MoHby'a Parole*.
In a communication written to the
Richmond, Va., Times from San Fran
cisco, Cal., Col. John S; Mosby says that
Secretary Stanton ordered the paroling
of all Confederates In Virginia on the
same terms given to Gen. Lee, “except
ing the guerilla chief Mosby.” The day
after this order was received by Gen.
Hancock Gen. Grant ordered him to
give Mosby the same terms with the
rest, and it was done. This is without
doubt an authentic statement of a point
of history long in dispute, and it throws
an Interesting sirle-light on Gen. Grant's
mental attitude toward the civilians ot
the war department.

Out of a Hnrlal Mound.
Near the battlefield of Marathon, ai
Kotrona, a prehistoric burial mound re
cently opened yielded eleven old My
cenaean vases, two of them gold, and
some gold earrings. At a place called
Krlkella, where the Gauls were driven
back by the Greeks in 279 before Christ,
and over 20,000 of them slain, a bronze
helmet has been found, and at Lycosu

Despolna has been laid bare. In the

are depicted, surrounded by successive
ornamental borders.
A HUMAN HARP.:
> .- \
How tha Kins of Madagascar Flayed
Tone* with Hla Prisoners.
The latest story that comes from
Madagascar tells about Pip, the king of
Lotolies, one of the local tribes which
Is not busy fighting the 'French. This
king devised some time ago a human
harp. He had been visiting the place
of punishment In his village and wit
nessing the bastinadoing Of his captives
he was struck by the tonal differences
of their groans. At once he commis
sioned the royal carpenter to, construct
a series of stocks In which he placed
eight captives whose howls of* pain
when the soles of their feet were struck
by the rod were so carefully arranged
that they made a perfect octave. This
seemed such a success that he had a
second frame constructed for the feet
of eight more wretches whose average
groans ranged a full octave higher.
The harp was now complete. On it he
proposed to play melodies and started
in to practice the national air. His proj
ect was to regulate the length of the
note by the violence of the blew. At
first the scheme did not succeed at all,
for the reason that the captives, hith
erto used to hard hits alone, howled
loudly each time, and with little differ
ence in force. At last he arranged It,
however, so that the groans became
proportioned to the blows. But the In
strument never got quite In tune. In
cessant was the cry of some of the
animated notes, others would not sound
at all at the right time. The heathen
king had to .give it up. The discords
were too painful for fresh sets of pris
oners, the human notes would never
work just right.
STARVED TO DEATH.
Terrible rate of a Mm Who SwnUowed
• Peach teed.
Jacksonville, Fla., Special: George
Howell, aged 51, died In the county hos
pital Thursday morning of starvation.
He starved on account of his Inability
to swallow food. Not even a drop of
water passed Into his stomach for a
period of ten days. On the 16th Inst.
Howell was eating a peach, when, by
accident, he swallowed the peach stone,
which lodged In his esophagus or gul
let. From that day until he died he
suffered agonies from hunger and thirst
and gradually wasted away until he
was a mere skeleton. He begged
piteously for food and wgter, and some
times they were given him, but the two
or three mouthfuls of this he was able
to take came up almost Immediately,
having never found their way to the
stomach any further than the obstruc
tion. Skilled physicians tried in vain
to remove the obstruction, even cutting
open the Btomach In their efforts to
reach it After the man died the doc
tors cut him open and removed the part
of the esophagus In which the stone was
lodged. The stone was turned cross
wise in Its passage to the stomach, and
the sharp end had penetrated into the
esophagus, clinging bo firmly that It
would not be forced.
Reward* of Heroism.
Hereafter the government will recog
nize acts of heroism on the high seas
in behalf of citizens of the United
States by the award of handsome sil
ver vases instead of gold watches, com
passes, etc., as haB been the custom in
the past. It has frequently happened
that these watches, fine though they
are, have been bestowed upon mariners
possessing chronometers of a much su
perior quality. The same is true of
other navigating apparatus which it
has been customary to give in acknowl
edgment of valuable heroic service to
American seamen. The State Depart
ment officials, who have charge of this
matter, have decided to substitute vases
for other articles as an experiment, and
If It proves successful that style of
award will be adopted as the standard.
The design most favored Is a tall vase,
embossed at the base in Imitation of
dashing waves, with an American eagle
surmounting a shield with the Ameri
can coat of arms.
Married In a Bayfield.
Maude Muller was ratner outdone by
a hayfleld episode which took place
north of Bucyrus, Ohio, last summer.
J. Petfer, a justice of the peace, was
working in a hayfleld when he was
approached by a young man, who asked
If he could attend to some papers for
him. The squire was willing and the
young man left, saying that he would
be back soon. In a short time he reap
peared and drove Into the field. A
lady who* was with him produced the
papers, which proved to be a marriage
license, and standing there with pitch
fork In hand the squire fled the knot,
the happy pair never leaving their seats
In the buggy.
