In couples and in small companies 'the'Indians hunted the deer, elk and antelope; and while danger was always present, tragedies sometimes occurred in which neither wild animals nor in- imical tribes had part, but which arose from feelings and. impulses common to human nature. The fol lowing we 1- ant 1enticated adventure. writes Alice C. Fletchei in Century, took place in the last century. Two b1 ot 1ers loved She favOrel the or, but by some means the elder They were ’married in the fall of the year, and w inter passed by, and one day in spring the brothers went forth to hunt together. Walking near the breaks of the Clear- water, the elder stopped to look over the edge of the canyon, where, a. thou‘ sand feet below, the river glistenedr in the morning sun. Half way down the rocky wall, upon a ledge that jutted out from the sheer face of the preci- pice, he saw a nest of young eagles. He called to his brother, who returned and looked down upon the nest. “I know what I will do,” he said; ‘.‘I will make a rope.” So the two set to work. They stripped the bark from young willows, and plaited it into a rope strong enough to hold a man. This done, they throw one end over the precipice to see if 1it w as long enough to reach the nest; but it fell for sheit. Then t‘ 1ey worked on, lengthening the rope until finally it rested upon the ledge. that one was to let the other down to secure the eagles. The elder tied the rope about his body, and the younger lowered him carefully until his feet were w ell on the ledge. As he walked along tow a1 (1 the nest he saw the rope suddenly tossed ovc \r the cliff; instinct- ively he steadied himself, caught the rope ,and pulled it in. He was alone, with a precipice above and a precipice below, on anariow ledge, with no liv- ing thing but himself and the half- grown eagles. By and by the old eagles returned, and, seeing the in- trudcr, were inclined to be hostile; but the man was careful not to anger them, and when they went away again he se— cured a part of the game they had brought to their young. Days wore on, and the man’s life was sustained by the food the old eagles brought; but his distress from thirst was great, so he “cleared out the little hollows in the rock to catch the rain, covering them carefully to prevent evaporation. The young eagles became accustomed to his companionship and the touch of his hand; but by and by the time came when they were ready to fly, and death looked the lonely man in the face. He resolved to make an effort to reach the ground. He had hidden his rope in a crevice in the rock to keep it from drying; he now tied it firmly about his body, fastening each young end strongly to an eagle, leaving suffi-. cient length between the birds and himself to give full play for their He reasoned that if the eagles were not able to fly with his weight they would break his fall by their on- deavors to save themselves. At all events, it was death to remain upon the ledge after they had gone. When all was ready, with his bow and quiver fastened upon his back, he pushed the wondering eagles Off their nest over the cliff, and they bore their strange burden down, down the canyon, and finally, weary with their enforced flight, alighted upon a tree at the bot- tom. The man took a feather from each of his preservers and released them; then he swung himself down through the branches to the ground, and, taking the shortest trail to his home, came upon his brother and his wife sitting together outside the tent. It took but a moment to send an arrow through the unsuspecting man who had so cruelly betrayed him; then. confronting the woman, in intensity of hope, he asked: “Are you glad I have come?” She was silent, but her face told him the truth, and a second arrow pierced her heart. Her body fell over the prostrate form of the younger brother before anyone in camp realized that he who had long been given up as dead had returned to avenge his griev- ous wrongs. NO WONDER HE FLED. I His Wife Had a Tongue and Knew Bow _ to Use It. “Look here,” she said, defiantly, as she strode into the detective’s Office, “my husband’s missing.”J “You don’t say so!” “I do say so, don’t I? “7e11, I’d‘ have ‘you to understand that I do say so; and, what’s more, you heard me say so. And 1 I don’t propose to .stand here and be contradicted by any man that lives.” She paused for breath, says the Wash- ington Post, and the officer murmured: “I didn’t mean any offense.” “If that ain’t like a man! ference does it make what you mean? You don’t suppose I care what you, meant? You’ve got your business to attend to, haven’t you? All I ask is that you mind it and not ask fool ques- tions and make silly remarks. Where’s my husband?” “Why—how do I know Where your husband is?” “Of course you don’t know where he is. You’re not paid for knowing where he is, are you? I haven’ t~ been up to the tax collector’s office twice a year for the last twenty—I mean ten—years , paying my share of your salary to look after just such cases as this.” “Well, madam, I don’t know Where . he is, but I’ve got a- clew. ” “You don’t say So!” “The first thing we do is to look for a motive. I think I’ve found out why your husband left home. If I learn any more I’ll let you know.” And he dOdged into his private Office and behind the door. They agreed - What difj STUDYING TO PLEASE HIM. He Was a Finicky customer. But the Walter Wanted to Satisfy Him. A man afflicted with the disease of fimckism, an exaggeration of the value of details, was giving his order for breakfast to a hotel water. The man was finical in' the extreme, and the ex- actitude of his order respectfully amused the waiter, who was somewhat a judge of human nature, inasmuch as he had served breakfast to many men. ' Breakfast time is invariably when you get down to the bedrock of a man’s true disposition. It is too early in the day, and he is too close to nature itself to have put on the little frills that he begins to assume along about eleven derstood, and took his order respect- fully, even servilely, without losing his own estimate of the man. The man had a morning cough and sipped ice water as he gave the. order. “Bring me a pot of coffee," he said, ”and mind, it must be hot—hot and strong—don’t forget to have it strong. And a sirloin steak, rare; remember have it Hire, and no fat. I can’t bear the sight of fat' In t’ 1e morning.” “Y essir, yessir, no fat,” replied the waiter. “And bring me some dry toast—hot, mind you; hot toast, and have it made from stale bread. I don’t want it toasted outside and soggy within New don’t forget that.” “No, sir; all right, sir; not 503' side, sir,” echoed the waiter. “And some sliced tomatoes,” contin- ued the man. “And take the chopped ice elf the tomatoes and-drain them. I want them dry, ‘ you understand, dry. Now, don’t forget that.” “All right, sir. Tomatoes must be dr .” “And, let’s see. Yes, bring me some fried eggs. And I want, them fried on one side. only. Don’t forget that.” “Yessi -; fried on one side. which side, sir?”——Kansas City Star. MUTILATED TITLES. Some Strange Twists Given to the Names se of Books. A successful bookseller should be a mind reader. People ask for books by the queerest mutilated titles. A dealer in books says. One of the most mutilated titles is that of “The Ileav enly Twins.” For instance, it is common to have it called “The Twin Angels,” “The heavenly Prodigals,” “The Blue Angels,” or “The Ileavenly Angels.” The 0t 1er day a man came in and asked for The Traveling Hebrew.” When I told him I thought he meant “The Wandering Jew,” he began to laugh, and said: - “Well, I was sure he was on the go, anyway!” Not long ago a lady came in and asked if we hal “Two Boats Which Went by in the Dark.” She was not the least abashed when I handed her “Ships That Pass in the Night.” One of the most common bulls in a bookstore is that which people make when they ask for "a vest pocket edi- tion of Webster s Unabridged, ” or “the Bible Wit 1 both the Old and New Tes- taments in it.” Not long ago a young man came in and asked for that‘diorse book.” We named over a lot of treatises on horses, but he said: “It wasn’t them.” We were then compelled to confess our ignorance, when he explained: “Well, my boss didn’t exactly tell me it was a horse book, but he said to ask for ‘The Horse with Seven Stables.’ ” We gave him “The House of the , Seven Gables,” with the privilege of ‘ returning it if it was not the right one. The book never came back.—Youth’s Companion. Autumn Silks. The first importations of autumn dress goods are very rich silks, among them peau dc soie with twilled surface of demi-luster, a far more refined fab- ric than satin, which is 0ft_n too glossy to please quiet tastes. Color abounds in these elegant fabrics. The fancy for chameleon hues has by no means reached its height. Shooting several shades together to produce new effects when blended is the pro..- ent object of Lyons manufacturers. Russian green with red and gold, and the darkest marine blue with very brilliant red, are shown in silks for dresses and in fabrics for trimming both gowns and hats. Much violet red and gold are blended in dark peau de soie, then woven in very intricate designs, for winter dresses. Plain sur- faces will prevail in the chameleon peau de soie for‘calling costumes and for dinner gowns, but for separate waists and for combinations these are plaided with .broad bands of black satin or with bars of contrasting col- ors. An especially attractive chame— leon effect is had by combining green, brown and gold, another by blending blue, black and red. Peacock blue is also brought into favor again. Late illustrations of Worth’s dresses in the Bazar are suitable for making up dresses of peau de soie for the demi- ' season.-—Harper’s Bazar. A Lover of Trees Talks Nonsense. i A Boston visitor at Warwick castle writes: “Ilenceforth I believe in aris- tocracy. It protects trees better than 'democracy. We have no respect for them, as a country. Our country is more haggled and slashed and cut up than England. Three months ago there was a great Windstorm. At Charlescote and at Warwick and at all the large country seats great trees were torn up, and everyone looks at it asagreat calamity and looks sad in speaking of it. When I think of the disgraceful destruction of trees near Boston in the 'past few years it makes me ashamed of our free country; it. is too heartlessly, barbarically free. i would buy all New England if I could. own it all and keep the trees as it was intended they should be. I don’t see that the houses of the poor in the country in England are any worse than our shanties.”—-Boston Transcript. Where the Wheels Are. Blevins—~O, I have such a. pain in my head!
