Philadelphia Times : "If I only had n decent gun now , " murmured Dick Tobln luilf nloud. "Hero's the shooting Bciibon just comlii' on , an' all I've got IB thutold niu/.zlo-loadef pvp : and grandpap used In their time. An' Jim Fe'rrls says SIC will Iniy a dandy brccch-loadur down at the town. It might as well bo $50. Pap won't give mo the money and there's an end of It. " Prom the old tavern window where Diclc stood the clearing sloped to the river's edge , and beyond the sparkling stream , rubbed into ripples by the rude autumn breezes rose the forest all gold en and scarlet in the afternoon sun , stretching away in the sloping hillsides and sharp ritlgos until it faded dimly in to the blue October ha'/o. It was a view suggestive of hunting , and to Dick' it was doubly luntali/.ing'for well ho know that over in the woods and hollows the pheasants and rabbits were rustling the dead leaves and up on the sunny slopes the quail wore feeding. Pick was only boventccn , but from the time ho was ton years old ho handled a gun , and the free outdoor lifo in his mountain homo had given him perfect knowledge of woodcraft. Ills father had kept the old tavern for more years than Diclc could remember. It was really only a backwoods store , whore the few lumbermen at the bettlo- inont and the trappers in the neighborhood - , hood bought powder and shot , ten and tobacco. Onuo in a great while a belated trapper or a hunter from the far-off cit ies stopped over night. .Tako Tobin's tavern it was htill called , though no strong drink had been sold there for years. Dick's mother had died when ho was a baby , and Dick had a vague knowledge that the cessation of the liquor trallic dated from that sad event. On this particular October afternoon Diok was alone. His father was down the river salmon fishing and would hardly return before sundown. No ens- tome ' had been near the store all day , so Dick httd plenty of time to think , and all ho thought about was that much- coveted gun that Jim Ferris had do- fceribed to him. Ho fully understood the possibilities of a breach-loader , for with his old musket ho had misled many a line chance through loss of time in ro- loacliiifj , and ho really felt as though lifo would in future bo all bitterness without that much desired gun. So ho continued to stare very gloomily out on the autumn landscape , the little frown on his brow deepening as the faint report of a gun echoed once or twice over the distant hills a tantilizing sound in his present frame of mind. Presently the creaking sound of wheels caused him to forgot his troubles , and , running out to the porch , ho saw coming down the rough mountain road a lum i ! ber wagon , driven by two grizzled old inountaiiiorcs , Silas Heck and Luke Carter. As they drove up to the tavern door Dick noticed in the bottom of the wagon what appeared to bo a big wooden box. "Hollo there , youngster ! is your pap In ? " demanded Luke Carter , jumping to tire ground and hitching the mute tp a young sapling. "No ; bo's gone flshin' , " replied Dick. "Goima-llbhin1 , ishoV" cried Luko. Ho hesitated a moment , then said , briskly , "Wa-al , I reckon you'll do jist as well. You see mo an' Silas here is going down tor town tomorrow and wohov a package to put up hero over night. Wo got a panther in that there box. Catehed it In a trap day afore vestorday , and wo ought to got a good prlco for it , belli' alive an' kiekin' . Jest tell us wliar to put it an' we'll tote it right inside. It won't do tor leave it out doors , fur all the dogs in the settlement ' 11 got wind of it. " "Got out , you brutes , " ho cried , snap ping his whip at a mangy-looking hound that had como up unseen and was sniff ing about the wagon with bristling hair. Dick looked at the big box with sud den Interest. Ho hardly know what an- awor to make for no guest of that kind had over been accommodated at the tavern Iwforo , * "Hurry up , youngster , " cried Luke , "It's goutnrlato an' we're goln' across the river tor Bill Williams yet tor nlghf" "Hrlnp her in , then , " said Diok , "an' put it in the room at the end of the hall. " Luke and Silas wanted no further in vitation. With much pulling and blow ing they carried the box up the porch and shoved It roughly along the hall. Dick ran ahead and opononed the door. It was a small apartment , furnished with a rude bed , but there was no other place In the hoiibo , and Dick certainly didn't want the animal in the store. So the cage was shoved up against the wall and they all came out and shut the door. "You needn't feed It , youngster , " said Luko. "It was fed this mornln' , and that'll do til tor morrow. " They put up the mule and the wagon in the tumble-down barn at the rear of the IIOUM > , to wait on their return a couple of days later , and then started olV to visit their old crony across the river , promising to appear bright and early In tljo morning , for they wore going down to the town , forty wiles away , in a bat- toau. toau.They had hardly been gene ton min utes when Dick saw his father comlug up tno slope with n gun on his arm. "I've boon follorhr a Hock of quail fur n mile back , Dick , " ho Bald na ho en tered the tavern , "an' I didn't got a shot. I left the boat down at the mouth of I'oMuin run , an' I gueds you'd bettor go down an' bring it up. Don't lose the llah. Thoro's a pair of the blggost Mil- mon you ever won , an' a line lot of bass IxwldoH. " Dlek started away at oucc , forgetting all about the panther In lib oagompBH , and Mr , Tobln , up. , pulllncr oil Ma UK bootn , was about to light las jilpo ai.'i ' enjoy a good rest whrn a fcli4 < lovr darkened the doorway , and , looking up , ) u % suw btforo him the tall , jjuunt tlj'uru of Torjwtus Van Kling , un del tru pcr who lived tome miles buck In the heart ol the mountains. Ho re sponded to the tave.rn-koopor'8 greeting with a brief "Howdy , Jake , " nud , cnli- ing for a pound of Crackers and a slice of cheese , ho sat clown on the counter and began to munch them slowly. "Bound fur town ? " aaked Juko.fin nil } ' . "Yes. " said the trapncr , with his mouth full : "goln' down fur powder an' shot. " A moment's silence , and then Jack said , slowly , with mi injured air : "You can buy it right hyor on the spot. You ought to patronize homo trade , Torpo- IUH. " The trapper took another bit of cracker and said slowly : "Yes , an' pay for It twlct over. Times air hard , Jauo , nn' money Is money ; " and with this oracular cular assertion Torpotns stowed ( ho bal ance of his lunch into his pig pocket and rose to his feet. "Kin I hove a night's lodgin'V" ho demanded. "I 'sposo so , " said Jake. "Air ye ready to turn in ? " "Yes , I rccon I am , fur I'll start afore daylight. " "Waal , the bed's ready. You kin find yuro way. Straight down the hall , fust door. Mobbo you'll hov a candle. Tor- potus ; thar's no light , you know ; only that small winder up along the wall. " The trapper scouted the idea of a light , and hanging up his rllllo on the dee ant lers over the window ho strode oil down the hall. Juke heard the heavy oaken door closed and bolted , and then ho strotclu-'d hlnuolf out on the bench to wait for Dick and ruminate at his leisure on the old trapper's refusal to patronize home trade at a loss of his pocket. CHAl'THlt II. Possum run wag a milo 'or more down the river from the tavern , and by the time Dick roacked the boat darkness was creeping on very fast. Ho spent a full minute admiring the fish , which were indeed beauties , and then started ou the return journoypush- Ing the narrow , canoe-shaped boat ra pidly up stream with a long polo. When ho staggered up the slope an hour later , bending under the weight of the fish , a bright light shone in the tavern window , and from the open door floated an enticing odor of colTco and fried potatoes. Itis father was busy over the stove , but ho looked up when Dick entered and asked grufllly : "What kept you so long ? Go clean the smallest bass now and wo 11 have him for supper. Whoso mule an' team is that in the shed ? " ho added. "Seems tor mo it looks familiar. " "O pap , I clear forgot to tell you , " cried Diok. "Luko Carter and Silas Heck was hero while you were away an' they put up the team , and went across the rlvor , an' they left " "Wont across the river , did they ? " in terrupted the father. "Why couldn't they put up here , I'd like tor know ? However , it don't matter , for old Van Kllng has the oxtry room. He's on his way to town tor buy powder an' shot in stead why , Dick , what ails you ? You're lib pale as a sheet. " "O " Dick the pap , gasped excitedly as situation Hashed over him , "there's a panther in the back room a live pan ther in a box. I was going to tell you all about it , and " "A panther ! " cried his father , in anuuoinont. "A panther in the back room. Why , what do you mean , lad'i" , Dick began to stammer out an explan ation , but without waiting tp hear the end his father pulled down his rillo from the hooks , and hurried to the end of the hall. He tried the door , but the bolt was shoved. More from force of habit than from necessity the trapper had made all secure before turning in. Then ho rapped gently , calling in a low whisper : "Torpotus , air ye there ? Git up an' open the door. " A drowsy response came from within , followed by shuttling footsteps. Then a bolt rattled in its fastenings , and as the tavornkceper bhook the door , puzzled to find it still fastened , an angry scream was heard , followed instantly by a heavy fall and a sculUiug noise. "O pap , " Dick cried in an agony of terror , "he's opened the wrong door in dark an' the panther's got him. The up roar suddenly increased , the old trap per's voice now mingling with the snarls of the enraged beast. Jake threw himself against the door , but it held firm. "No use , Dick ! " ho groaned. "It's too strong for that. Do your best , Torpolusl" ho shouted , loudly. "And now , Dick , " ho added , "run and try the shutter , while I git upon the roof an' open the trap-door. " Poor Dick hurried with all his might round to the outside , but the ono window that gave access to the room was tightly barred from within. The house had been built In a time when Indian attacks were not uncommon , and every part of it was strong and substantial. With fast-beat ing heart ho listened for a brief second to the loud outcry that still continued within , and then , as a voice called loud ly , "Dick ! Dick ! " he pulled himself into a big tree that stood by the house and dropped from the overhanging limbs to the roof. His father was standing , ax in hand , beside an open trap , from which came a succession of furious snarls and a strange , ripping noise. "I'm afraid it's all up with him , Dick , " ho said , huskily , "for 1'vo called hiiriand ho don't make no answer. I'd go down , if I could go through the trap , out " ho looked ruefully at his muscular bulk and then at the narrow door cut between the heavy beams. Dick stood still in mute despair. "What shall wo do , pap ? " he cried. Suddenly a daring plan Hashed into his mind. "Hold on , nap ! " ho shouted , and throwing hiiusou into' the tree ho dropped quickly to the ground. Ho was back in two minutes with a big cell of rope and a couple of resinous * torches , such as are used for deerstalking ing at night. Ho out the rope in two with the ax , and fastening ono part with nervous lingers under his arms ho made a running noose on the end of the other. "Now , pap , " ho said bravely , "lot mo down through the trap quick , and light that pine torch for me. The panther won't touch mo when Ihn carrying ilro , an' I can blip the rope over his head jiibt as easy as anything. " His father hesitated. "It won't do , Dick. I'm afraid it's too late , anyway. We'll have to smash that door in with a 10ff. " Just then a faint cry for help came from the darkness below. "Do your bobt , Torpotus , " ho shouted down and then , laying hold of the rope , ho whis pered : "Go ahead then , Dick. When you holler I'll jerk up. " The torch was speedily fired and Dick was lowered through the trap with the light in ono hand and the noosed i ope in the other. It was a situation in whlcn a gun could not bo uf-ed. For a moment ho hung midway between the Hoer and the cell ing , daxed by the glare of the torch and conuolous all the while of it llorco snarl ing close below him. When ho finally gained a good view of the room by hold ing the light over , hla 11 rat impulse waste to laugh , for a little to his loft was the panther , screaming angrily and tearing with might and main tit the old cork- husk mattress from off the bed , which lay in the middle of the floor , under which celled up llko a knot , was the un fortunate trapper , holding it tightly over his hodj and uttering mutlled ap peals for lu-lp. But it was no laughing matter , for at every dig of the vicious claws tin huakh \vnnd if eomo ono didn't Interfere prcttj boon tlm hungry brute was going to inuko a supper oft Torpctus Van Kllng. Dlr'v ' waa ouUU to 600 this , and taKing a good hold on the U0030 , ho was about to tr > " " * when the boast turned with snapping oycs and sprang upward. Just intitno Dick dashed the torch down. TJio blaz ing brand struck the panther in the face , driving him , with n howl if pain , to the corner of the room , but , unfortu nately , slipping from Dick s hand , it fell to the lloor , and lay burning brightly only n yard from the mattress. But the brulo was made valorous by hunger , and with no idea of losing his supper , ho sprang once more on poor Torpotus. making the husks Ily , and lashing the floor with his long { nil at every dig. For a brief second the reddish brown back won turned toward Dick , and , swinging himself quickly to and fro in the air , he seized his chauco and dropped the noose cleverly over the ugly head. Ono quickt sharp jerk , a shout to the anxious watcher about , and then ho shot upward , letting the rene slip through his fingers , but keeping it tightly stretched in spite of the furious strug gles at the other end. As ho came out on the room his father snatched the rope and hauled on It with all his might , shouting down through the trap : "Now's your chance , Tor- potus ! Make a run fur itan' bo sure tor shut the door. " Torpotus evidently did make a run , for in an instant the door was hoard to bang violently , and , as Dick dropped through the live to the ground , the old trapper reached the porch with his clothes hang ing in tatters and his hands and face scratched and bloody. "What kind of lodgers are you kecpin' now , Jake TobinV" ho. demanded , an grily. "It's a marcy I'm livin' . " "Mr. Tobln deferred his explanation until the blazing torch had been put out by a bucket of water passed up to thereof roof by Dick , and then , leaving the half , choked panther to got rid of his hempen necklace as best ho could , ho shut the trap and came down to the ground just as Luke Carter and Silas Heck appeared on the scene. Feeling uneasy about the safety of their prize , they had concluded to return to the tavern. A general explanation took place , the solo result of which on Torpotus Van Kling's part was a contemptuous sniiY and a fervent wish that all present might pass through a similar happy experience before they wore much older. His tale of his adventure was very thrilling. Ho hud queued live cage by mistake , and alarmed by the growls of the panther , had staggered ba'ck against the bed and soiv.ed the mattress just in timo. timo.When When ho heard how ho had been saved he patted Dick on the head and called him a brave boy a tribute of praise which Dick accepted rather dubiously , remembering that his forgetfulness had caused all the trouble. With much skill and a free use of hot irons the pugnacious panther waj driven back to his box , and at daybreak the next morning began his journey down the river in a batteau. Torpolus accepted a seat in the boat as a partial reparation from Carter and Heck , and Dick watched them from the bhoro till they vanished around a bond. When the old trapper returned on foot five days later ho stopped at the tavern long enough to present Dick with a beauty of a gun a breech-loader , of course that Jim Ferris declared was better oven than the ono he had seen. "The youngster deserved it , " ho said , "for many a man wouldn't u-tuken such risks as that. " So Dick got his gun very unexpect edly , and the old muz/le-loader that had served three generations was laid away on the shelf to enjoy the rest that belongs - longs to worthy old age. mSSIAUOK AS AN OKA.TOH. Europe Ruled by a Hesitating Voice mill Drawling Speech. Bismarck , everybody knows , says the Cologne Ca/.otto , is not nn orator I nearly said thank God ho is no orator. His speech has boon likened to a forest stream which rumbles over stones and roots. The comparison is somewhat poor. I think I know a better , though 11 rather technical one namely , his speech is like quicksilver drawn out. Take a drop of quicksilver containing tome lead or zinc , put it on a pane of glass and hold it slantingly. The drop swells and rolls , but presently it stops , becomes thinner and longer , remains immovable for a moment , gathers now strength to ( lowbecoincs thin once again , and so forth. Thus it is with the chan cellor's words ; first , half a bcntenco comes out , then ho hesitates , stops or utters a short , inarticulate Round and goes on again. It is evident that to hpeak is a physical exertion , but even when ho is in lirat-rato form ho does not talk fluently. But on closer observation the reason appeara very BOOK. The form of his speech is improvised on the spur of the moment , but unlike many fluent speak ers , ho does not use the first expression which may come to his mind , but while ho is uttering the first half of a sentence ho is thinking how to shape the second half in order to express exactly what ho wishes to say. If ho makes a joke or a slight observation he speaks quickly and without hesitation , hut as soon as ho re turns to the borious treatment of a polit ical subject this painfully accurate ex pression , the result of mental work , be comes apparent , which shows that ho endeavors not to bay a syllable.which ho cannot reconcile with his responsible po sition. This is the reason why his speeches concerning foreign politico read llko official diplomatic documents ; every word is carefully considered. His voice i peculiar , high pitched and not very powerful. It has been called a thin voice , but this only expresses ono of it& qualities. Another Is that It is so remarkably young that ono would think it nlinobt incredible for u man of his ago to possess such a voice. If ono does not sco him while ho is speaking it is diffi cult to believe that it is not a young lieutenant of twenty-eight who is speak ing. _ When you are constipated , with loss of np- petite , he.idacho , take ono of Dr. , f.

AVlio Is the AVHI Dressed Woman IVIio Claims Ijltcrury Kinship ? Something moro than a week ago a well dressed women wont to the house of Mrs. J. C. Croly ( Jennie June ) , No. 1-18 East Forty-sixth street , and asked If that lady was at homo , buys the New York Morning Journal. Being told that Mrs. Croly was out she presented a card as her own which bore the name of Mrs. Lucy C. Lillie , a lady well known in New York and Boston as a newspaper and magazine writer , and who is a val ued friend of Mrs. Croly's. The visltol expressed much regret at not seeing Mrs. Croly , and asked if she might write a note. Seating herself in Mrs. Croly's parlor she wrote the following letter : Mr DIMH Mits. CIIOLT : I wonder If you will think n favor I have to ask you Is au in trusion ? I have so often done similar ones myself for fellow-workers. I thought I might come to you.

Mrs. Croly returned homo later in the afternoon , found the letter , and suppos ing it to bo from her friend , promptly sent the money. When the day cuino for payment she heard nothing from her nor for bevorul days alterward. Thinking that this behavior was very strnngo Mrs. Croly sent to the number upon the visiting card loft by the woman only to find that no such person lived there , but that a number of inqiries and complaints of the same nature liud come from other parties. Later Mrs. Croly learned that Mrs. Lfllie was not in the city.Tho The woman is described as noing very well dressed and good looking , and of pleasing , lady-like manners. Ton Minutes in Kentucky.
