STORY OF PRINCE.
(By Lieut. R. A. Swift, U. S. A.)
ANUEL DIAZ came
and looked down at
me as I lay bound
and helpless on the
ground.
“Gringo dog!” he
snarled, showing
his white teeth.
Then he kicked
me cintemptuously.
"You would not
dare to do that If I
were free, even
though you are in the camp oi your
own ladrone followers!” I cried, hoping
to arouse him still more.
He hissed some words I did not catch,
"You are the most pitiful coward it
has ever been my fortune to meet!” I
continued tauntingly. "All greasers
are cowards! I fought you like a man,
and now you mean to hang me like a
cur!”
"SI, senor,” he returned exultantly,
"like a cur you hang! You keel four of
my men. Car-r-ramba!”
"Only three,” I corrected. "My dog
disposed of the fourth.”
"The dog is dead; you will soon be so.
I give you a little while more to think
how you like It to hang.”
Then he walked away toward the spot
where several of his bandit followers
were gambling.
X had heard how brutally Diaz, the
outlaw, treated those unfortunate
enough to fall Into his hands,* and I
feared the fate in store for me.
He believed me a spy—an officer of
the law.
I could expect no mercy.
He had come upon me at sunrise as
I was cooking my coffee over a fresh
lighted fire.
I think his dogs must have scented
Prince, my dog, and they led the out
laws to my camp.
My first warning was when five or six
dirty curs came yelping down upon us.
I clutched my rifle as I saw the
Mexicans swarming over the ridge.
My command to halt rang out on the
morning air, and then they opened Are
with rifles and revolvers.
I had no protection, and so I stood
up there in the open, one to twenty,
and worked my Winchester to the best
of my ability.
Prince made a terrible scattering
among the curs that had attacked him.
He did not seem to consider them big
enough game for him, and so, flinging
them to the right and left, he broke
through and went leaping at the throat
of a man who had fallen and rolled
down the bank to within a short dis
tance of us.
Prince had the fellow by the throat
in a moment.
In vain the poor wretch tried to tear
himself free.
His life was soon ended.
I brought down three others with my
rifle.
Then a bullet scored my skull.
The Wincshester dropped from my
nerveless Angers. I sunk helpless to
the ground.
I saw them rush upon me with ex
ultant yells, and I knew when they
bound me securely.
Now I was doomed to die by hang
ing—Diaz himself had said it.
I tried to taunt him into killing me
in a passion, but my efforts were in
vain.
He left me and sat down where he
could watch the men who were gam
bling on the big scarlet blanket they
had spread on the ground.
I saw him light a cigarette and puff
at it in a lazy way, seeming to have
forgotten me.
I knew It was a part of his scheme
of torture.
He would soon find time to remind
me that my minutes were numbered.
They said my dog was dead—poor old
Prince.
I turned on my side, choking back the
groan that rose In my throat.
And then I saw something that gave
me a start.
A short distance away lay Prince,
"HURRY, PRINCE, HURRY.”
stretched on the ground as he had fall
en; but his eyes were wide open, and I
would have sworn he moved his tall
a bit when I looked at him.
“Prince!” I whispered, just loud
enough for my voice to reach him.
Again that movement of his tail, and
his eyes suddenly closed.
One of the outlaws was approach
ing.
"Senor,” he said, as he came up, “the
chief tell me to say you have ten min
ute more to live.”
“Tell him I shall live to see him
hang!” I returned, a sudden strange
sensation of defiance coming over me.
“Pool!” sneered the man. “Orlngoes
are all fools!”
Then he went back to the others.
I watched Prince again.
Slowly his eyes unclosed. The Mexi
cans werq now at the most exciting
point in their game; they had begun to
quarrel.
Prince was far from dead, although
there was a gaping wound in his side,
and he was. covered with blood.
He moved. Then, inch by inch, he
crept toward me.
“Good boy! Good dog!” I whispered.
His tall moved with a wiggle of de
light.
The outlaws’ dogs—lazy curs—were
lying around in the shade, licking their
wounds or sleeping.
Not one of them saw Prince move,
although my heart stood still with fear
that they might.
When he was near enough he licked
my face and whined very softly.
“Good boy!” I repeated. “If you were
a man you could set me free.”
The outlaws were quarreling more
fiercely than before. I felt that they
soon might be trying to cut each other's
throat.
What an opportunity for escape!
If my hands and feet were free!'
But a short distance away lay my
Winchester.
How I longed to have It In my hands
and be able to use It then and there!
A sudden thought came to me.
I turned on my face.
Prince licked my hands, which were
bound behind my back.
"Chew it, boy—chew It!" I panted.
“Set me free!"
He'did not understand at first, but I
am sure the truth that my hands were
helpless by the cords, Anally dawned
on him, for he actually gave a nibble
at my bonds.
Then I encouraged him.
He seemed to understand that was
what I desired.
Immediately he set about gnawing
at the rope In a way that seemed to
promise a hasty release for my hands.
Two of the gambling Mexicans had
arisen to their feet and were confront
ing each other, daggers in hand.
Diaz was watching them calmly, still
puffing at his cigarette.
Some of the others were urging them
on.
“Hurry, Prince—hurry!” I whispered.
Without making a sound he chewed
away at the cord.
At last, just as the quarreling out
laws were trying to stab each other to
death, I felt the rope part!
My hands were free!
I dlil not sit up, but lay on my side
and drew up my legs so I could work at
the bonds that held my feet.
I soon succeeded in my desperate ef
forts.
Still I did not rise.
With all the caution I could com
mand, I wormed my way toward the
spot where my rifle lay.
I secured it.
Down the slope I backed, while the
duel to the death between the two out
laws was going on.
Prince followed, and not one of all
our foes saw us creep out of the camp—
not a sleeping dog stirred.
We got away, and once out of sight,
we made all haste to put a long dis
tance between us and our enemies.
I knew they would attempt to trail
us with their dogs, and so I was forced
to take to running water to deceive
them, and, in doing this, I carried
Prince in my arms, big, heavy fellow
though he was, with my Winchester
slung across my back.
It was two years before I saw Man
uel Dias again, and then I had the
pleasure of attending his execution in
Guadalupe, Sonora.
He was hanged. Before he swung
into eternity I reminded him that I had
promised to live to see that day, and
had kept my word.
He smiled and replied that I owed
my life to a dog that knew far more
than any gringo he had he had ever
seen.
He died “game,” which is saying a
great deal for a Mexican.
Prince lived but - a few days after
aiding me to escape from the outlaws.
His wound proved fatal.
Far in the lonely heart of the Gila
mountains I made his grave, and there
I buried the truest, noblest comrade it
has ever been my fortune to know.
Poor old Prince!
Daughters of a Hero.
A tract of land comprising about 15S
acres Just outside the western limits of
Baltimore city, In the Thirteenth dis
trict of Baltimore county, and south of
St. Agnes’ Hospital and St. Mary’s In
dustrial School, was offered for sale at
auction Wednesday, at the Real Estate
Exchange, but was withdrawn after
five small parcels, Including forty-two
acres, had been purchased at an aver
age price of $327 an acre, says the Bal
timore Sun. The property is a portion
of the lan^s owned in Maryland by the
late Duchess of Leeds, a granddaugh
ter of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, and
daughter of Richard Caton, after whom
the town of Catonsville Is named.
The Duchess died In 1874, and in her
will directed that the real estate owned
by her In this county should be dis
posed of by her executors, and the
money thus secured should be used for
the purchase of real estate in England,
all of which, together with the English
realty which she possessed at the time
of her death, was bequeathed for life to
the Marquis of Carmarthen which is
the courtesy title of the heir to the
Dukedom of Leeds. The present holder
of the title is the grandson of a cousin
of the Duchess’ husband, she having
died without children.
The property put up at auction Is
but a part <of the estates in several
counties in Maryland ^hich came to her
from Charles Carroll of Carrollton and
his daughter. It was offered at first as
a whole, but no bids being made for this,
the choice of fourteen parcels of it was
next offered. The bidding for first
choice was a bit spirited, and It was
finally ’’knocked down” for $390 an acre
to Ruxton M. Ridgely. After that the
prices offered became Steadily smaller
until the fifth purchase, when Auction
eer Kirkland announced, after a con
sultation with the American trustees
of the estate, Anthony A. Hirst and
Alexander Tearley, Jr., that the re
mainder of the land was withdrawn.
"We had expected to get at least $400
an acre,” said Mr. Kirkland," and not a
bit of it can be secured for less than
$275 an acre.”
The Duchess of Leeds was one of the
three famous daughters of Richard
Caton, who from their beauty and
charms were often called “the three
American graces.” They became the
wives of members of the British nobil
ity. Louisa Catherine, the Duchess of
Leeds, was the youngest of the trio.
Mary Caton, the eldest, was at first the
wife of Richard Patterson of Baltimore,
brother of Mme. Elizabeth Patterson
Bonaparte, but in 1825 became the
second wife of the famous Marquis of
Wellesley, elder brother of the still
more famous Duke of Wellington.
Elizabeth Caton was married In 1836 to
Sir George William Stafford-Jerningam,
Baron Stafford.
The wedding of Dr. W. L. Vroom and
Miss Blanche Miller the other day In
tie St. Paramus Dutch church at
Ridgewood, N. J., was the first wedding
i! the church since that of Aaron Burr
and Mrs. Theodosia Prevust, 113 years
ago.
I
MORE WOMEN, LESS MEN.
A Condition of Aflfelrs Ex In Mag Through*
out tha Clvlli/cd World.
One of the curiosities disclosed by
recent census statistics is the fact that,
as a rule, and barring exceptional cir
cumstances, the male population is
falling farther and farther behind the
female. Thus in the last llritish cen
sus, says the Providence Journal, the
excess of women and girls over men
and boys iu Great Britain was found
to be about 900,000, or 200,000
more than ten years ago. The Ger
man census places the number
of females about 600,000 above
that of males in tho Kingdom of Prus
sia, which is nearly three times the
excess of twenty years ago. In the
whole German empire there are 1,000, -
000 more females than males. In
Sweden and Norway the ‘ ‘weaker” sex
is in the majority by 250,000, in Aus
tria-Hungary by about 600,000, in
Denmark by 60,000, and in fact in
every Kuropean country women and
girls outnumber men and boya The
conspicuous exceptions elsewhere are
the United States, Canada and Aus
tralia, in each of which the males
are in the majority, though, com
paratively speaking, not largely so.
These exceptions, however, are evi
dently owing to immigration, which
naturally brings more men than
women. Had there been no immigra
tion, it is probable that each of these
three countries would have shown the
same* excess of women which is found
everywhere else in the civilized world.
Thus, although in the United States
as a whole the excess of males is about
1,200,000 by estimate, in New Eng
land, whither the tide of immigration
has not flowed strongly in recent
years, there is a large preponderance
ot women. In less civilized countries,
however, where women are lightly
esteemed, it is quite otherwise. In
India there are 6,000,000 more men
than women, <and in China, too, the
males largely preponderate. So we
may conclude that as a rule the higher
eivilization is the more favorable to
the increase of the female sex, but we
may well question whether this result
is a wholesome one. An excess of
women in a country muet have an un
favorable influence on the marriage rate
and so, of course, on the birth rate; and,
besides it may lead to moral conse
quences of a grave nature. Yet it
seems natural for women to multiply
faster than men; and the means that
are taken to produce a contrary result
in the less civilized countries are such
as civilization could not countenance.
WILLIAM L. SCOTT.
HI* Bale or 820,000,000 ltatlroail Stock
for William If. Vanderbilt.
In business matters Mr. Scott was
quick in his conclusions, sound in
judgment, and inexhaustible in re
sources. says the Louisville Courier
Journal. The public remembers yet
the sale by William II. Vanderbilt of
lf‘20.000,000 worth of stock in the New
York Central at 120. This sale was
made by William L. Scott.
Vanderbilt, harassed and worried in
the management of the property,
vexed by public criticism and uncer
tain about his health, expressed in the
presence of Soott a wish to be rid of
the property.
••You are not in earnest, ” said Scott,
• 'I was never more in earnest in my
life, ” was the reply.
“Why not sell it then?” the Penn
sylvanian asked.
• ‘Sell it?” exclaimed Vanderbilt;
‘ ‘where "ban I And a purchaser for
$20,000,000 of the stockP”
“I can find such a purchaser,” said
Scott, "at a fair commission.”
“Do it,” was the response, '-and I
will pay you $500,000.”
In a few days Scott hadorganized a
syndicate among the bankers of New
York to purchase the Vanderbilt
stock at 120, and without any difficulty
the transaction was concluded.
Then came Mr. Scott's demand for
his commission of $500,000. Vander
bilt demurred: $500,000 was a big
sum of money tof such work. Mr.
Scott insisted that it was a bargain
made openly and seriously, and car
ried to a conclusion. Still Vanderbilt
objected that it was too big a commis
sion.
“What was it worth?” asked Mr.
Scott
"Oh,” said Mr. Vanderbilt “$200,
000.”
“Very well then, let me have the
$200,000,” said the gentleman from
Pennsylvania, and the matter was
settled. Had Mr. Scott insisted there
is little doubt the $500,000 would have
been forthcoming. As it was. the
commission was as easily earned as
any money Mr. Scott ever made.
A Perfumed Caravan.
Every one knows how subtle, pene
trating, and permanent is the rich per
fume of attar of roses. The larger
part of the world’s supply of this de
licious scent is made in Persia, where
there are many hundreds of acres de
voted to the cultivation of roses for
this purpose.
At certain seasons of the year long
caravans of donkeys, laden with the
attar, and under guard of soldiers to
protect the rich booty from attack by
robbers, journey from central Persia
to the little port of Bushire, whence it
is exported to Bombay. Other donkey
trains simlarly escorted proceed to
ports on the Caspian sea, whence the
attar is conveyed to Turkey and Rus
I aia, which, after Hindostan. are the
largest consumers of the costly luxury.
When the wind is in the right di
rection the approach of one of these
caravans is announced by the scent
long before it can be seen, and the line
of its progress can bo traced by the
odor for days after it has passed by.—

THE CROCODILE,
A Few of HI* Peculiar Wifi of Trane
acting BuiIdmi.
There Is little In the animal kingdom
that can look so dead and be so much
alive as a crocodile, says the Pall Mall
Gazette. The number of unsuspect
ing persons who have mistaken him
for a log, and have failed to discover
their mistake until It was too late to
be of any benefit to them, will never
be known. In ancient times, several
years prior to the British occupation
of Egypt, some of the people of that
country worshipped the crocodile as a
god, there being nothing else like him.
The fed him on dainties and togged
him out with Jewelry. In other parts
of Egypt, however, the natives looked
upon him as a devil. Having no fire
arms, they did not fill him with lead,
but they managed to Immolate him
successfully with such weapons as
were fashionable at the time. The
crocodile Is not so numerous In the
Nile as he was in the days of the
Rameses family. In fact, he rather
shuns the river now below the second
cataract on account of the annoyance
inseparable from tourist traffic. It
seems impossible for a tourist to see
a crocodile without trying to plug him
with a revolver, and to a reptile who
Is fond of a quiet life this sort of thing
is simply Insufferable. He will not mo
lest a man unless he can take him at
a disadvantage, and so long as man
does not unthinkingly step on him the
crocodile will go his own way and
calmly await his opportunity. He
feeds on fish, but for a course dinner
he would rather have humanity, black
preferred, which shows that there is no
accounting for taste even among rep
tiles. His methods for capturing large
game are plural as well as singular.
Sometimes he will lie on a river bank,
partly covered with sand or mud, until
an absent-minded native wanders
within reach. Having grabbed his
prey, he will waddle into the water,
and there drown the straggler. He
will then drag his victim ashore and
bury him in sand or mud, and wait
for days before he gorges himself.
HISTORIC QUEBEC.
Parts of It Bnggestlve of Scones In the
Old World.
From Quebec a correspondent writes
to the Paris Messenger: “let on parle
francais” might be written on the por
tals of this quaint and picturesque old
city. Strolling in lower Quebec, you
might easily faney yourself in Amiens
or Dieppe. In the upper town there
is more English, but everywhere an
amusing mixture. On the same card
you will read “Malson a louer,” "House
to let;” on one side of the door “Pas
d’admission sans affaires” and on the
other “No admittance except on busi
ness.” This bilingual necessity causes
a little extra painting and printing.
Each railway crossing must be marked
likewise, “Traverse du chamin de ter”
and every official “notice” must be
printed also in full as an "Avis." The
blending is often curious, as when two
adjoining shops have their announce
ments one In French and the other in
English. Along the Orande Alle, run
ning right across the Plains of Abra
ham, you might be in Brussels or
Paris, only that Clifton terrace seems
to recall you to Kensington. Ameri
can travelers for whom Europe is too
distant are advised to go to Quebec,
there to find a bit of the mediaeval old
world transplated to the new, bat still
embalmed in its anejent religious sen
timentalism, upon which the rush and
roar of modern unrest produce as little
! effect as the Atlantic breakers on the
cliffs of Cape Breton. French con

Marvelous Basalts.
From a letter written by Rev. J.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we
are permitted to make this abstract: “I
have n» hesitation in recommending Dr.
King’s New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvelous in the case of
my wife. While 1 was pastor of the
Baptist church at Rives Junction she
was brought kown with pneumonia suc
ceeding la grippe. Terrible paroxysms
of coughing would last hours with little
interruption and it seemed as if she
could not survive them. A friend
recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery;
t was quick in its work and highly sat
isfactory in results.” Trial bottles free
