"Indians, sir, in the plain A pache!" t.- Jf S W W -w to s the r e p 1 3 mingled with some stronger terms, but the man stuck to his text, and offered to show the colonel and his" companions the Indians. He seemed very anxious I thought. Among us at the time were Ben Mcllor and his sister, her friend, a Miss Nevil, and two other men named Radcliffe and Mitchell. The colonel was rny partner in the rancho (ranch). Howler was his name mine doesn't matter. 'Indians!" exclaimed Miss Mellon "surely they won't come here!" "Indians is queer cusses. But you may depend when they do come they won't. o-;v us much notice. Let us t - r - ride up and see.' , In the course of a few minutes we all rode out, into the plain. On w wont until iojd gave way to path and 1 ath to desert track and lhh to desert ' a wor'il of grass, with here and j there a tree. Beyond a pond of water, I called by the nu lives estanque. near j which tiie herds of sheep and goats i were gathered. Out on the plain was a moving mass, which the dark shep herd called Indians. 'Why. it's buffalo!" cried my part ner "Hurrah, hurrah!" "You must ride back, ladies," I said; "this chase will be a long one. Rad cliffe will escort you, perhars." "Oh, no; we can take care of our selves. We are armed and can shoot if necessury'rcplied Miss Mcllor. 'Come on, Violet; let tlu'se hunters go their own way. Manuel (the shepherd) will accompany us." So we parted. We all had pistols, and two of us carried rifles as well. Mike a hung by my saddle, but we did not anticipate any attack. The shepherd had turned iiack with the ladies. I did not altogether trust him, and mentioned my suspicious to tha colonel. "Oh. he can't hurt; theT'll soon set tle him," was my friend's reply; "lie's a hiliman certainly, and I'm not sure that he's over-honest, but he can't hurt the rancho." We saw the ladies picking their way along the brown prairie, for the paths arc many and puzzliug; then we started full gallop on the trail of the buffaloes, which had stampeded to ward the hilly country. We rushed on pell-mell, in no order, until we KCMAKKABl.K TABLEAU. reached the summit of a rising' ground, whence we perceived thcln'rd a few only, attended by two splendid hulls: one of thebe standing sentry, as is the habit of the buffalo to do He knew our object and perhaps in some rough bullish way guessed that he would be the first victim. He gave the alarm and away lied the herd lumbering along in front of him We dashed down the slope and scattered. To my surprise the sen tinel bull, instead of running with the remainder, made a detour, which, if he continued in his course, would bring his pursuer back by a wide circle to our ranch again. This fellow attracted me, so I quitted the line and went after him. believing that my mustang would soon overtake him, fur buffaloes arc not rapid runners. Hut to my aston ishment, Pedro, my horse, showed signs of fatigue, and I perceived that some time must elapse before I could overtake :he bull. My Winchester ride na. now across my saddle; the buffalo headed for home, a most un usual course, and I could not imagine ' what instinct guided the animal to , rush ina direction opposite to hisconi 1 rades and toward our rancho. Hut 1 pressed on, getting nearer I and nearer. ly this time the ladies must be safe at home, 1 thought, and they will be rather surprised to see j me hunting a buffalo close up to the i Nation. They could thus witness the denouir.ent and my prowess, for I was not altogether insensible to Miss Mcllor's charms and glad to display my unerring aim and my skill in hunt ing Now was my chance! True, I could not sec the house, but if I wished to kill my buffa.o now was 1113 time. I fired, and to my astonishment, missed! Missed! Yis! The bullet went fly. ng on its mission. Little did I imagine what that mission xvas. Once again I fired, stopping my mustang in order to take a steadier aim. The buffalo swerved; thn bullet struck a tree and in another moment I heard a loud cry. The aniii.al could not have uttered the sound. It was more like a human voice. Had I shot any one? Suddenly a horror came over me Had my random bullet struck one of the Indie? Had 1 killed or wounded Miss Mellor -or he.- fr.end? Was it pos sib'e? In my anxiety I spurred 1 oor Pedro and was intent o: dispatching the buffalo, when two pistol shots rang out from the direction of our rancho. 1 One lucky shot; the bull fell: another in the heart; my victory stood com plete! Hut n:y joy was very quickly tempered with alarm, when I heard a savage yell, which I could not mis take. Great powers! Indians at the rancho! And the ladies My heart leaped to my throat. Hastily loading all the chambers of my Winchester, I spurred my steed for home. The house was not far distant and in a few minutes I came within I view. The door stood open. In frontwere six Apaches, held in check at thirty paces distant by a woman and a ser vant a youth both of whom were armed and actual'y defying the In dians for the moment Why they had opened the door I could not understand. It would not easily have been found, and the win dows were handier for the assailants. w l v. jf iff .-oxx Yet here tiiey were, standing irreso lute. There was no time to be lost. My approach was almost unheeded as I emerged from the cover of the wood around the house. One glance was sufficient. Halting, I fired all the chambers of my rifle in quick succession. An answering fire came from the hall. Four Indians dropped; the others fled at once, after discharging a volley of arrows at the defenders, who avoided them by promptly lying down as soon is they saw the bows drawn. My astonishment was extreme when in the defenders of our house I recog nized Miss Mcllor and a shepherd not the young stranger who had in formed us of the neighborhood of In dians. In a few moments I was in possession of the facts, but Miss Nevil was missing and Miss Mellor was in the greatest distress concerning her. It appeared that the dark-skinned new shepherd had carried her away into the wood, and the servants who now began to assemble gave evidence that he had actually done so. As we were discussing the chances, the other members of our party, alarmed by the reports of firearms, had come up. A search wa at once instituted. The cry which I had heard while chasing the buffalo was i still ringing in raj ears. We hurried imo the wood, or scrub, and after a ' search were rewarded by hearing a ( faint cry for help. We searched in , the dirertion of the sound, and a most remarkable tableau mefe' our gaze. On the ground lav the dark-foatnrcd shepherd dead, his body pierced by a bulict from my Wincdes'er. Standing beside him was an Indian pony, and strapped to the body b a belt lay or rather hung Miss Nevil, quite unable to move and but half sensible. A few moments sufficed to relieve her from her perilous position Sh afterward told us how the shepherd, in i league with the Apaches, had at tempted to plunder our house and car ry her off. The buffaloes were onlj a decoy, driven in bv some of the tribe, while others plundered us. The traitor shepherd had attempted to carry off Miss Nevil, but the first shot which I had fired struck him and put an end to his career. My secood bullet had glanced away, fortunately, perhaps; but Miss Nevil's scream of terror had guided me to the house. I need hardly say that the rescue was entirely due to the course adopted by the bull, and we were very grate ful for his share in the business But, alas for sentiment! we needed beef, and many an excellent meal was made from what Radcliffe ever after ward termed "that blessed buffalo." Saturday Post FLEET-FOOTED ZEBRAS. Their Dash of Speed When Alarmed by the Whiz or a Rifle Wail. Tho rapidity with which the dif ferent zebras have been extermina ted, owing to the advance of civiliza tion in South Africa, is shown by reference to such works as that of bir Cornwallis Harris, written in 181 t, in which tho author tells us that the quagga was at the time fo.ind in "interminable herds," bands of many hundreds being frequently seen, while he describes Hurehell's zeb a as congregating in herds of eighty or one hundred, and abound ing to a great extent; but now, after tho expiration of about fifty years, the one species is extinct or practical ly so, while the other has been driven much farther afield and its numbers are early being reduced. This author's description of the common zebra is well worth repeat ing, says the Saturday Review. He says: "Seeking the wildest and most sequestered spots, haughty troops are exceedingly difficult to approach, a well on account of their extreme agility and lleetness of foot as from the abrupt and inaccessible nature of their highland abode. Under the special charge of a sentinel, so posted on some ad'acent crag as to ommand a view of every avenue of approach, the checkered hord whom 'painted skins adorn' is to- be viewed perambulating some rocky ledge, on which the rillo ball alone can reach them. No sooner has the note of alarm been sounded by the videtto, than, pricking their long ears, the whole flock hurry forward, to ascer tain tho nature of the appiv aching danger, an ', having gazed a moment at tho advancing hunter, whisking th"ir brindled tails aloft, helter-skelter away they thunder, down craggy precipices-and over yawning ravines, where no less agile foot could follow them." Of HurchclPs zebra he says: "Fierce, strong, licet and surpassing ly beautiful, there is, perhaps, no quadruped in the creation, not even excepting the mountain zebra, more splendidly attired or presenting a picture of more singularly attractive beauty." Zeb as are bv no means amiable animals, and, of the stones told of aro doubtless much they have so far not though many their ferocity exaggerated, proved them selves amenable to domestication. Why Mm shook II in "I'll never, never speak to him again!" she exclaimed. "Never in this wide, wide world'" "Why, Ciara, he adores you!" "Perhaps he docs, but he has no appreciation, no judgment, no idea of the fitness of things. Why, the other night when ho called I put on that new gown I have just had made," "Yes. what of it?" What of it? You know what a beautiful and artistic creation it is?" "Yes, indeed." "And how perfectly it fits?" -Yes." "Well, I asked him how I looked and he said I looked liko an angel. Win.

CRONIN. Before It Wm Koia That the Hater titnate Physician Had Been Assassin at id. She Had a Nightmare la Which the Victim Appeared. The white horse of Patrick Dinan will forerer be famous not in ro mance or traditional story, but in the criminal annals of Chicago and of the century. No imaginary horse is he, for he is still alive and active the dumb witness of and unconscious actor in a tragedy so brutal and sen sational in its accomplishments and incidents that the pictured horrors of the stage fade before it Its en vironments . ot personal hate and social and political discord carry on o back, for a parallel, to the weird atrocities of the dark ages, says the Chicago Herald. On tho second night after the murder of Dr. Cronin. Monday, May 6 more than two weeks before tho mutilated corpse of the doctor was discovered Mrs. Uinan retired to a bedroom adjoining one in which her husband was sleeping. They then Ii.d over the livery stablo on the oast side of North Clark street, a little north of C hicago avenue and in nearly a diagonal line from the Fast Chicago avenue polico station. She fell asleep with nothing unusual in her thoughts, but about midnight felt a horror creop into her eyes and soul. Startled by the dread vision, into which unutterable pity mingled , she thought she awoke, and there by her bedside stood Dr. Cronin, with blood streaming down his face like little rivulets, as if water had boon thrown upon his head, and beside him was the white horse which she knew so well and which had borne the doctor in the direction of Lake View. On one side of the forehead of the doctor she saw a hole, from which tho life blood was flowing, and the white horse stood there tremb ling and dejected, with head bowed down and nointing in a direct line toward the bast Chicago avenue po lice station. Benumbed with horror and over mastering pity she essayed to speak, but could not. She attempted to arise to stanch the wounds of the doctor, whose face was sad and un complaining as a martyr's, but her efforts were in vain. She wished to wipe away tho blood which was trickling into and blinding the eyes of the doctor, but she could not move. Helpless to assist, while the desire to do so filled her soul and was breaking her heart, she gazed and suffered in agony. The white horse's head kept bowed, never changing its direction from the police station, and the sad face and blood -bestreamed bodv of the doctor was motionless. Suddenly but calmly he lifted his right hand, and extending it pointed the index finger toward her, while an expres sion of sorrow came over his face. Then in tones calm, but sur charged with sadness and pleading, he spoke three times distinctly and with deliberation the words: "Mrs. Dinan! Mrs. Dinan! Mrs. Dinan!" Tfcere was a brief pause between each call. As she heard the pleading words she tried to answer "Yes, doe tor!" but speech was denied her. Near tho head of her bed was a sofa on which was a piece of white cloth. She tried to reach it to wipe away the blood from his face, but could not move. As the sounds of the words "Mrs. Dinan!" were fading away for the third time sho awoke with tho words, "Yes, doctor!" on her lips, and jumping out of bed sho reached for the pieco of white cloth on tho sofa. But the dream was over, the vision had vanished, and the doctor with his open wounds pouring out his life's blood, and the trembling white horso with bowed head passed away into the night Frightened and astounded, it was some moments before Mrs. Dinan could realize that the horriblo and pitiful picture that she had seen was but the fabric of a vision. But dream though it was, it was none the less a realistic picture of a mon strous erirae. Scores of witnesses might traco every step of the white horse tho night of May 4, 1889, but all their conclusions could not carry as much moral weight and effect to the mind of Mrs. Dinan as did that startling dream. And those who noted every fact and incident in the tragedy regarded it at tho time as a providential proof of their theory and belief. The dream had produced such an impression on Mrs. Dinan that all of that Tuesday she could neither eat nor drink, and tears kept continually welling up into her eyes. Neither could sho rest until all that could bo told about tho trip of the white horse Saturday night was made known. Sho insisted that her husband should tell it to all interest ed, and, as it appeared to do no good to tell it to tho police, sho urged him to give it to tho stato's attorney and those active in finding out the murderers. This was done, and had it not been probably the white horse would never have figured as a fcaturo in the trial. That whits horse of Dinan" is still alive and doing daily duty in a Western state.

Fifteen thousand pilgrims annually visit St Baume, in Provence, not far f.'om Marseilles, in France, where Mary Magdalene is said to have spent the last thirty years of her life.

The Kurds and Armenians, whoso many folkloro stories and talcs of superstitious fancies far exceed thoso of the gypsies, havo some rainbow beliefs which are, perhaps, not dupli cated in the popular notions of any others among tho laces of mankind. They hoot at the idea of its being a witness to God's covenant with man that the earth will no more undergo the ordeal of Hood, and declare that it was made for the ex pi ess purpose j of letting the first man aud woman I down from heaven, tho man securely fastened to one end of tho great varicrratcd band, the woman at the other. Tho end of time, according to tho Kurds, will bo ushered in by tho appearance of four rainbows, which will cross at the zenith, fur nishing eight passageways for God and his hosts. WHAT IS A GENTLEMAN? Manners. Conversational Charms, a Xoblo Heart and Sound Judgment. It is an easy question to ask, but a difficult one to answer. What is honor? What is value? What is poetry? Though most peoplo can feel, few can define any of these things; and the short answer to the first question is simply this: "A gentleman is a gentloman." Let me try to define him by a few negatives as well as positives. First ly, of his costume. He must not bo dirty, negligent or slovenly in his person. Ho must neither be meanly nor magnificently dressed. He must not wear gaudy and in congruous colors, or affront the eye of onlookers with jewelry or finery. Ho must not affect eccentricity or singularity, or dress himself in such a manner as to cause tho vulgar to stare or the judicious to grieve as ho passes by. Ho must dress as Polonius not at all a fool, though every actor who plays the part endeavors to mako him so advised his son Laertes to dress in golden words of true wisdom. But dress, though it bo tho first and most obvious, is the least charac teristic of the gentleman. In his manners ho must not think himself tho principal porson in the world, tho kingdom or tho company, but without parade of humility, which is in itself an offense, he must think himself the least or, at all events, he must act as if he thought so. He must not fail in deferential po liteness, either to man or woman. He must not take the first place as if it were his inalienable right He must not, at table or elsewhere, commie t aots which, though they may be harmless in themselves, are contrary to the prevalent notions of his time and country. A hundred years ao a man might get drunk after dinner without losing his social position, but to any one as piring in our day to that high and illustrious rank, the slightest ten dency to drunkenness at table or any where else is fatal to his pre tension. To be loud in talk Is almost as great a derogation from tho ideal of the character as to bo "loud" in costume I know that the word is a slang word, but it ex presses a meaning not to be reached even by a periphrasis, and may, for that reason, be looked upon leniently. To hear one man's voice overriding every other's and one man's opinion thundered into the ears of too timid, too indolent or too cuorteous 10 do battle with a Stentor. is fatal to Stentor's claims to be considered a gentleman. And quite as essential as manners to the perfection of the character is conversation. A man in the dress and with tho manners of a gentleman must not talk vulgarly, indecently, obscenely, irreverently, or even ig-norantly- if tho ignoranco bo very gross without forfeiture of the rank to which his dress and his manners would seem to entitle him. But granting all these three essen tials the would-be gentleman would not bo a gentleman if his heart bo wrong. Dress is an ornament man ners a grace conversation a cnarm; but these three may be possessed in all possiblo perfection by a scoun drel. But these three combined with a noble heart and a sound judgment-the ono balancing the other--combine to form a truo gentleman. Teinpcrstture of Forests. For twenty years tho Swiss gov ernment has been making observa tions through its forestry stations on tho lemperaturo of the air, of tho trees and the soil in the forests. These observations show that tho temperature in the forests is always below tho temperaturo outsido. The temperature also varies according to the trees composing the forests. A beech forest is always cooler than a forest of larch. As to the trunks of the treos, they are always colder than the surrounding air. Regarding the temperature of the soil, it is found that in the forest the temperature is invariably below that of tho air. Outsido tho forest tho soil is always warmer than the air in summer and colder in winter. SitnplKyiii'; Problem.

A Mexican kitchen contains no cook ing stove nor even a fireplace. Instead, on one side of the room a shelf is built into the wall about breast high, on the center of which a small fire burns built of gnarled and knotty sticks, which thrifty American housewives would consider unfit for use. Occasionally this method is varied by making a char coal fire in a large carthern pot and set ting smaller cooking utensils upon the coals. So little baking is done that many households dispense with an oven entirely, but when one is used it Is built of mud, cither out of doors or at one end of the fircshclf. Tortillas are the staff of life in Mex ico, and consist simply of crushed corn which has been previously boiled in a weak lye, rolled into balls. Dishwash ing in a Mexican kitchen is conducted on a novel plan. There is no soap, no dishcloth and no wiping towel, mush less a table provided with a dishpan and draining rack. The dishwasher seats herself comfortably on the lloor with a pail of water beside her and some sliced amole root, which makes excellent suds, and in place of a dish- cloth she usesa tiny, stiff whisk broom. I Dishwiping is unknown. The dishes . are simply turned up against the wall to dry, and somehow or other they I always come to the table clean and j shining.

The proposal to alter the course of the sewer in question is declared im practicable. Facts Worth Knowing. In all diseases of the naal mucnott mem brane the remedy ued must be non-irritating.

An electre aerial railroad, to carry mail and perishable freight at the rate of over 230 miles an hour, is projected to be constructed between Detroit and Cleveland, a distance of 170 miles. ii- the bert L. Wddis is the inventor of scheme for the road, and he believes he has amply demonstrated its practica bility. An experimental line was in operation at the Chicago fair and made surprising speed. A car fifteen feet long and four feet square is suspended 03 four wheels on an elevated rail, and operated by motors deriving power from a trolley wire. The euds of the car are cone-shaped to reduce the atmospheric resistance. Mr. Widdis docs not pro pose to carry passenger on his railroad, but says that with it perishable freight, mails and such matter could be carried across the continent in a day. The plan seems feasible when the prodigious speed attained by dynamos is consid ered.

When locomotives were first built and begau to trundle their small loads up and down the newly and rudely constructed railways of England the country roads were for the most part crossed at grade, and the engine driver had no way of giving warning of his approach except by blowing a tin horn. "This horn, as niav be imagined, says a writer in the Cardiff. Mail, was far from being a suf ficient warning. One day in the year ISP, : a farmer of Thornton was crossing the railway track on one of the country roads with a great load of eggs and but ter. .Juntas lie came out upon the track a train anproached. The engine man blew his tin horn lustly, but the farmer did not hear it Kiffhtv dozen of ecirs 1 and fifty pounds of butter were smashed into an indistinguishable, unpleasant mass, and mingled uiththe kindling ( 'pj, " wva vv ii.ll lUl, nlsa in 1lUll,l- c railway company had to pav the farmer the value of his fifty pounds of i butter, his 900 eggs, his horse and wa- gon. It was regarded as a verv serious i matter and straightwav a director of the company, Ashlen Bagstcr by name, went to Atton Grange, where George Stephenson liven, to sec if he could not invent something that would give a warning more likely to be heard. Ste phenson went to work andthcne..tday had a contrivance which, when attached to the engine boiler and the steam turned on. gave out a shrill, discordant sound. The railway officials, greatly delighted, ordered similar contrivances attached to all the locomotives, and from that day to this the voica of the locomotive whistle has never been si lent. 2IG Ilt'S. 8 I.1K.
