THE SKELETON'S STOKV.

What is it on the grass? A skull here
a rib there tames scattered nbotit as
the wild beasts left them after the hor
rible feast. The clean-picked ukull
grins and htnrcH every bone and scat
tered lock of hair has its -tory of n
tragedy. And what besides these rel
ies? More bones -not scattered, but
lying in heaps a vertebra with ribs at
tached a ilcshlcss skull blenching un
der the summer sm. Wolves! Yes.
Count the heaps of lioncs and you will
lintl nearly a score. Open oonts are
picked tip at sea with neither life nor
sign to betray their secret. Skeletons
are found upon the prairie, but they tell
u plain story to thoo who halt beside
them. Let us listen:
Away oft" to the right you can see
tree-tops. Away off to the left you can
see the same hight. The skeleton is in
line between the two points. He left,
one grove to ride to the other. To ride!
Certainly; a mile away is the skeleton
of a horu or mule. The beast fell ami
was left there. If lie left the grove at
noon he would have been within a mile
of this spot at dusk. It is therefore
plain that he did not leave until mid
afternoon, or possibly at dusk. Signs
of Indians may have driven him from
his trapping-ground, or mayhap he had
exhausted the game and was .shifting to
new fields.
It is months since that ride, and tin:
trail has been obliterated. Were it
otherwise, and you took it up from the
spot when; the skeleton horse now lies,
you would lind the hist three or four
miles made at a tremendous pace.
"Step! step! stop!"
What is it? Darkness has gathered
over mountain and prairie; as the hunt
er jogs along over the broken ground.
Overhead the countless stars look down
upon him around him is the pall of
night- There was the patter of foot
steps on the dry grass. He halts ami
peers around him, but the darkness is
too deep for him to discover any cause
for alarm.
Tatter! patter! patter!"
There it is again! It is not fifty yards
from where ho lat halted. To "steps
are too light for those of an Indian. A
grizzly would ru-.li uioii his victim with
n roar of defiance and anger. A
panther would hurl himself through
thirty feet of space with a scream to
unnerve the hardiest hunter.
"Wolves!" whispers the hunter, as
liowl suddenly breaks upon his ear.
Wolves! '1 he gaunt, grizzly wolves
of Um. foot-hills thin, and poor, ami
hifngry, and savage the legs tireless
the mouth full of teeth that can crack
the . boulder-bone of a butlalo. Ho can
k-o their dark forms Hitting from point
to point the patter of their feet on the
parched grass proves that he is sur
rounded.
Now the nice begins. There is no
shelter until the grove is reached. In
stinct guides the horse, and terror lashes
him with such a whip a human hand
never wielded. Over space, through
the gloom, almost as swift as an arrow
scut by a strong hand, but a dark line
follows. A line of wolves spreads out
to the right ami left, and gallops after
tongues out eyes Hashing great Hakes
of foam Hying back to blotch stone and
grass and leave- a trail to bo followed by
,,togpwardly coyotes.
"" Men ride "thus only when life is the
stake. Ahorse puts forth such speed
only when terror follows close behind
and causes every nerve to tighten like a,
wire drawn until the scratch of n finger
makes it chord with a wail of despair.
A pigeon could not skim the valley with
stieli swiftness, and yet the wings of fate
are abroad, and long, and tireless. The
line is there aye! it is gaining! Inch
by inch it creeps up, and the red eyes
take on a more savage gleam as the
hunter cries out to his horse and opens
lire from his revolvers. A wolf falls on
the right a second on the left. Does
the wind cease blowing because it meets
a forest? The fall of ono man in a mad
mob simply increases the determination
of the rest."
With a cry so full of tho despair that
wells up from the heart of tho strong
man when he elves up his struggle for
life that the hunter almost believes a
companion rides beside him, the horse
staggers recovers plunges forward
falls to the earth. It was a glorious
struggle, but ho ha? lost.

tho center there is a confused heap of
sunning, lighting, maddened beasts.

Saddle, bridle and blanket are in shreds
the horse a skeleton. And now the
chase is after the hunter. He has half
a mile the start, and as he runs the
veins stand out, the muscles tighten,
and he wonders at his own speed. lle
liind him are the gaunt bodies and tho
tireless legs. Closer, closer, and now
lie is goinsr to face fato as a brave man
should. He has halted. In an instant
a circle is formed, about him a circle
of red eyes, foaming mouths and
yellow fangs which are to meet in his
flesh.
There Is an interval a breathing
spell. He looks up at tho stars out
upon the night. It is his last hour, but
there is no quaking no crying out to
the night to send him aid. As the
wolves rest a flash blinds their eves a
second a third auda fourth, and they
give way before the man they had look
ed upon as their certain prey. But it is
only for a moment. He sees them
gatheringfor the rush, and firing his re
maining bullets among them he seizes
Lis long rifle by the barrel, and braces to
meet the shock. Uven a savage would
have admired the heroic fight ho made
forjlife. He sounds the war cry and whirls
his weapon around him, ana wolf -after
wojkf alls disabled. He feels a strange
.exultation over the desperate combat,

Since the death of M. Blanc, the pro
moter of the gaming tabid at Monto
Carlo, which occurred a few years ago.
(that of Mtne. Blanc transpired ' in
ItWl), the Casino continues to projcr
in the most urprh:ng manner. Those
now interested in the undertaking an
the memlwrn of tho Blanc family viz.,
Kdmond Blnnr, um and heir, and the
Princes HadziwjU and Boland Bona
1arte, tvho married daughter of M.
ilanc. They nre the priric'pal abarc
holders; neverthelei. a few shares arc
said to m in the hands of the Slayor of
Nice and other high-standing function
aries of that citv.
There are three hundred of the-e
ahans, each one representing ono hun
dred undivided parts. Kach share at
the outset was worth .W.OCK) francs; their
actual value is difficult to tell. At all
event, if offered for salothey would at
tain a fabulous price, feeing the phe
nomenal profits annually realized by the
roulette and card tables. Hitherto the
owners of the, Cawno have apjtcarud to
be satisfied with their annual profit,
which permitted the daughters of M.
Blanc to Imj dowered with yU.000.OOJ
francs each, irrcsticclivu- of the enor
mous revenue which fall to the lot of
each shareholder. But although ,tiot
opetilv debated, the idea of a tmanc'al
coup Iiasfora longtime Iwjen meditated,
and the following is a rough outline of
the fcheine:
The three hundred j.hareasthcynow
Mnnd (ono hundred undivided parts
each) are to be converted into .-ixty
thousand coupures (thereby doubling
the thirty thousand undivfded parts),
and these coupures, or coupon-, will
then Ikj offered to tho public at tin price
of 1,000 francs each. The operation U
unquestionably a bold one; neverthe
less, despite its faritatic proportions, it
will evidently find favor with the French.
And why not? The receipts for last
year amounted to lo.OOU.OUO francs.
This project for converting the Casi
no of .Monte Carlo into a public affair
has been generally approved by the ac
tual (stockholders. M. Wane's dignity
suffers from the fact that tne .source of
his revenue is a gambling hell, l'rinces

I that view, ami would not be loath to
sever their connection, once and for
ever, with the institution of Monte Car
lo; above all, under such favorable au
spices.I'rincc Charles.on being apprised
of this resolutiori.wasMituewhat startled,
niturally dreading the revolution in
his affairs that such n transaction would
entail. However, he was brought
around to the views of the majorit' by
the judicious counsel of his father con
fessor, and was even led to take a more
decided step. He has given his consent
to relinquishing all further intervention
in the c ncerns of Casino, and in return
for this abdication his yearly pension
will lie increased to l.OOo. 000 francs.
Tho contemplated issue of tho new
shares may be expected soou. The
date of issue will be settled at the next
meeting of the shareholders, which will
take place in Paris.
The magnificent Cas'noof Monte Car
lo is annually visited by an average ol
fit 10,000 foreigners, who" play more or
less at roulette or trontu-et-quarantc,
and this number is steadily on tho in
crease. The impunity with which gam
bling is carried on at'M maeo may be ex
plained by tho fact that any attempt to
suppress it would bo equivalent to
touching the prerogat'ves of Charles
III., and any Mich departure would sus
citato an "international question,"
which neither of the neighboring pow
ers is inclined to open; a quotioti
which, probably, would lead to erious
complications. Moreover, the inde

The Base-Ball Umpire.
"Who is that man with the bagiry
trousers .standing behind the catcher?'
"That's the umpire, dear."
"Does he enjoy life?"
'till, ves, occasionally.
"When?"
"When ho is not umpiring a ball
game."
"What are his qualifications?''
"They are supposed to be honesty and
ability.''
"Do they send out detectives to find
such men, or do tliev select them from
Government oHice-.?,v
Neither; umpires obtain their posi
tions through iuHuence."
"What is influence?"
Influence is the wife of power."
"It is good to have honest v and abil
ity, isn't it?"
"Yes, in tho case of a clergyman oi
bank cashier; but an umpire is too
honest to want both, and is content
with either one or the other."
"What quality predominates?1'
"The other one.'1
"Why are the spectators hissing the
umpire?'
"Because ho is tryiug to be impar
tial." "If he were not?"
"He would Ikj abused by both play
ers and spectators."
"Has ho no redress?"
"Yes; when a player insults him and
calls him a liar and a horse-thief he
sometimes lines tho player as much as
live dollars."
"Why not fifty dollars, or even
more?'"
"Because he knows when the season
closes the player will lind him alone
tome dark night, and punch his
head. "
"Are the spectators ever impartial
critics?"
"Individually, seldom; collectively,
never.'
"Where do they get their knowledge
of base-ball?"
"Mostly from tho morning papers."
"Whatis an 'error' column? "
"The column in a newspaper devoted
to base-ball reports.1
"Is tho umpire a married man?"
"Usually."
"In which citv does his wife re
side? "
"My child, let us go and cut a water

The Mulberton and the Ginslev fanii-
ts aro near neighbors. They live in
s suburbs of Austin. There is, or
should be, a bond of unity between
them, for they are both very slow and
deliberate in spending money. Both of
the families mentioned keepVery frugal
tables. Mrs. Mulberton thought it
would bo a tine stroke of policy to send
her children over to tho Ginslev man
sion just about supper time. 'The re
sult was entirely satisfactory, for the
next time the ladies met, Mrs. Mulbar
ton asked:
"Why don'tyousendyour little dears
over to mv house every evening."
"I couldn't think of it. They come

Two or thftfii causes may readily Ikj
named as hating mainly conduced to
this state of lljings causes which are
generally td' hh found among Asiatic
races. Tho raie prohibiting the devolu

division oirJpidsofy among all male

very l(nvt7piautity out of- which 'it-s

every wliarv else, energ and good luck
niise individuals to a position of wealth,
who may. if they choose, become large
laud-owners; but in the course of a few
gencraticas this universal equalizer,
aidul jbythe apathy of the ordirnary
Chinoje.yi'hen in comfortable circum
stances, -frill have reduced things to the
form! (lead level. Another equally
potest fietor is the habit of too earl
marriages. Parents deem it a religious
d nt JJ provide matches for llfloir chi'
drc 'm soon a they aro of marriageable
yetits.iind tho voting pooplo go to the

thewto ask first whether they have the
mcanssto marry or whether "there will

comoitJcny:inl. The evil is further
agafty.tcd by the joint fara'ly svstem,
vr"SMakos the responsibility off ono's
uWiT-huy and puts it 'jointly on
that of hanNoep others. When a
man knows that'FeWincjwt.acqual
sluvu of wlrit is going, whether he eat A3
it or no, and that the lieuelit of his dcu
ing himself any particular iniliilgence
will accrue to others as well as himself,
a great motive for thrift is withdrawn.
l-i one respect the Chinese peasant is
in a better position than the Indian
ryot; he js not in debt to money-lenders,
lint I do not know that that is a virtuo
for which he is entitled to mu-h credit,
for there is no elas of moiiev -lenders
to whom he cutld get in debt. " Indeed,
I am not sure that he is not thereby in
a loss advantageous position, for when
hard years conu he has no means of
pledging hi- properly, which, if he
could, 'might ave him from sheer
starvation.
It is a melancholy thought, hut it
somus inevitable, both in the case of the
Chinese and Indian peasant, that tho
great bulk should necessarily be in a
state of constant poverty. The food
production is limited. A good, stable
Government may remove many natural
checks on the latter, with the object of
improving the condition of the people:
but it is doubtful if that i any real
kindness. It only postpones the inev
itable, and drives them on to another
cheek all the more terrible because de
layed. Emigration and self-restraint,
tho only true remedies, nre hopeless in
dealing with an ignorant emulation
counted by hundreds of millions.

The Egyptian Arnijr.
There exists a considerable diversity
of opinion aliout the national character
of the fellaheen, but on one point all
authorities have been hitherto agreed
that the fellah is one of the most un
Marlike types of mankind and heartily
detests military sen-ice. Any one who
travels in Egypt during the time of the
conscription mu?t be painfully im
pressed with this fact. In the villages
ho may be often roused at night by a
violent altercation outside, which begins
with gruff, bass male voices and culmi
nates in shrill, hyMcrical, faletto tones.
The first time he is so disturbed he
probably assumes that it is a cae of
burglary or manslaughter, and rushes
out with the intention of supporting
vigorously the party of law and order,
but he funis to his disappointment that
it is nothing more serious than the
capturing of a recruit for the khedivial
army; aud though it may be quite true,
as the women loclarc, that the village
sheikh in making the choice of his vic
tim has been influenced by considera
tions of baksheesh, tho arguments pro
duced pro and cou involve such contra
dictory statements of fact and such
complicated considerations of law and
morals that as a sU-anger he can hardlv
feel justified in interfering with the
action of the authorities. In the prin
cipal towns, where the recruits are col
lected, similar scenes take place on a
larger scale. The conscripts are
brought into the public square under an
escort of kava&-cs, armed with ti,.i-c
and switches, to be examined by the

wanting her watch repaired went to a

Subsequently she ti-lurncd'snd asked
for her watch. 'ih9 proprietor,- who
proved to be the man whoso head wa
resting on tho show-case, denied hav
ing it. The man to whom she handed
it had disappeared, and had not re
turned. Tlie proprietor gave ler an
other watch, which she was to keep un
til she recovered her own. Dissatisfied
with tho arrangement, the police were
called in. The proprietor of 1110" storo
insisted that the watch was not iu his
possession, lmt had been taken away
by the man to whom the young
lady handed it. Pressed to ex

was a friend of his. but that Jio had
proved false and treacherous. When
tho young woman came to his store
and found him leaning on the show

other end of that wire, and what hes
sending is n special for you and not for
the naper."
"It is certainly a lady who is send'ng
the message." said the telegrapher,
"and .-ho is doing it verv well, indeed.
There are many excellent operators
among the women, and though they can
not clo such hard work as a mnn.the
send mes-sages in very good shape.'
"Are vou sure just who it is that is
sending?'1
"Certainly. I can tell as quickly a-.
I could recognize, a friend's hand
writing. Each operator acquires a p
culiar.t)le of handling a key. and there
is not much difficulty in recognizing a
sender when once hisiyle it known to
you."
"Where do all the operators come
from?"
"The city telegraph operators arc
supplied motlv by young men who
have learned tlie business in country
otlices. In mam caes the son of a
country telegrapher learns the art from
his father in spa;e moments, and finally
succeeds him in the iiusincs. For a
time he is sat'sticd with his jnisition,
and the novelty of buzzing' a female
operator in a town thirty miles distant
is very p' easing, hut soon he gets to
talking with citv operators over the
w.rvs. and when fie finds out what they
are paid he become dsatisHed with his
own little al:iry of next-to-nothing a
month and find himself, and so deserts
his post for the city. These young fel
lows from the country make 'very good
operatofX for as a rule they begin to
learn when they are thirtcenor fourteen
vears old, ami that an operator should
begin young is positively essential to his
success. They sav a person can never
bo a good vlolini-t unless he begins
when a child, and it is much the same
with a telegraph operator. The- begin
early and generally leave the business
before they arc old; not that they retire
on a fortune, but they drift out into
some other occupation," as most of them
intended to when, they fipt began to
handle a key.' Boston Globe.

his merriment it was some time before
he could answer:
"Such a joke it nearly kills mel"
"A joke on whom?"
"On a thief a nickjockct. I can

"Well, you see, I brought fifty "lol

doing" he must have seen how much
money I had. In fact. I mentioned the

watched where I put my wallet- I felt
sure he was a thief, and I determined to
give him alittle surprise ha! ha! ha!"
"Did vou have him arrested on sus

to take him down a little. Hu look me t
for a greeny, and I wanted him to find

"How did vou do it?"
"Why, I slipped around in the crowd,
