AS HE HAD LIVED.
TSo Grand Wind Up of a Mighty
Huu ter.
.V. Quc:t in Detroit Free Dress,
Dry luu> finally broken, and there is a red
dening of the eastern sky. The faint flushes
deepen, the purple fades to gold, the gold
turns to fire and the topmost rim of the sun
rises from the plain and burnishes the crags
and peaks of the Powder River Moun
tains ns if preparing thole for temples of
worship.
Five minutes later and a great continent
is beamed upon by the full sun of a glorious
morning in Indian summer.
You have seen a grand old horse—almost
Wind —almost ready to die from old age,
rise from his grassy lied of a summer morn
ing! The morn seemed to put new life into
him. There is fire in his eyes as he flings
his head about and sniffs at the sunshine,
and for the moment he is voting and strong
again.
So on this morn, irom his camp in the
foot-hills, rises a grand old man, and, as he
draws himself up to his full height and
faces the glorious east, his eyes grow bright,
jus muscles quiver, and the strength comes
buck to every limb. But it is not for long.
Tlte sun is scarcetly a foot above the plain
when the tall form stoops, the limbs begin to
weaken, and the tire dies out of the eyes and
is replaced by a dull stare.
It is the wreck of a man—a mighty hunter
and fighter. These plains and mountains
and valleys have been his home for a score
of years. Face —chest —limbs —everywhere
about him, are scars of wounds dealt by
savage or beast. The going down of the sun
has found him alone; the dawn of day has
found him solitary. Break a man’s heart
and he turns from the world and hates vice
and virtue alike.
lie is ohl and his strength lias waned.
Peal h has been long incoming, but it has
drawn nigh at last. The chill of death
drives some men back to the world, to die
with tender hands about them. Others defy
the grim monster to the last, and they die
alone, upwopt, uneared for.
‘Tt is my last day on earth! - ’ So says
the grand old man as he slowly turns on
his heel to look about him. Tho vision
that could once discern a moving buffalo
half a score of miles away can now
scarcely make out tho ragged trees across
the little valley. Tho arms which could
have once lifted the most powerful
warrior high in tho air for a dash to
death, can now scarcely bring the rifle to an
aim. Ho has run his face and his time has
come.
Tiie sun climbs up and up, and the day
bursts forth into full strength. The moun
tains stand out with such ruggedness and
grandness as never before. The valleys and
hillsides nevei held the sunshine as to
day. Nature ia to give the old man a grand
funeral.
And the sun dinibs higher, and it is mid
day.
And liow shou'd he die—one whose sum
mers and winters—whose months and years
—have been passed in the sunshine of tho
sterile plains—in the shadows of the rugged
mountains —with the growl of the grizzly
and the shout of thx red warrior in his ears?
In the dramas of tie stage men die as they
have lived; who no; in real life?
The old man is ready. Rifle in hand—
his grizzly locks hiif hidden by his fur cap
—his strength coning back as if he had
been born again, !e seats himself upon a
great rock and scais the winding valley at
his feet God give iiim back his sight once
more, and no craping tning escapes his
vision. To the 'ight all is well. To
•he left —wait! Hi half rises for a better
lock.
Enemies —warrl'rs!
Have they got ,lo word that to-day is the
old man’s last day >n earth, and are they to
sit in front and apilaud as the curtain goes
down! It is well. That long rifle has sent
more than one arrior to death. That
great frame, nov so rapidly wasting,
bears the scar of Ullet and tomahawk and
knife.
A dozen warrias—a war party bent on
rapine and murder—come galloping swiftly
up the vaioy. Tin old fighter grows young
in years as he waChes the advance. The
thrill of eveitemat brought the blood to
his cheek—the vuisper of danger strings
every nerve, Fae has been kind to him;
as he has Used soßhall he die. Would you
have the her> of. score of battles die in his
bed, alone aad mseen, or in front of his
foes, fighting gllantly to the last, and
his death ajplau.ed even by those w ho slew
him?
Ah! they mveeaught sight r * him. The
gaunt figui * outined against sky is a
familiar one II lias been 1 cared for its
strength, hard for the destruction it has
wrought. Erape is cut off to the right—to
the left— in mnt. The background is rug
ged hillside, h which the warriors are more
ut home that he hunter. Ami so shouts of
defiance amfxultation fill the air as the
warriors di fount and advance.
Make real now! The drama of life is
near its cloi The life and strength which
excitemontlrought are beginning to die
away. Th shouts come faintly to his
cars; there a blur liefore his eyes; the
1 c ids wim hold tho rifle tremble with
r*‘'akness. tenth is sweeping up from the
valley in i .var plumes—death is creeping
down froi lie hillside with swift step but
invisible t n.
And no lie shouts of the warriors are
nearer aniouder, and their rifles are blaz
ing death! the hunter, and lie turns his
face to lufcn and pleads:
“A fmSst seconds of strength and sight
and I ontadv to go!”
They .-(given liim—hist eyes clear —his
form Kixf erect—he is the grand old fighter
once mol Up comes the rifle—up—up —
his eye Jam the sights— the weaptm is held
as firm * rock, a:;tl when the red flame
leaps oil chief flings up his arms and utters
his denary.
The (tna has ended and the curtain has
gone dfi. The warriors creep nearer and
nearerjhey wonder and are mystified.
They illy reached tho rock to fljul thy old
man hi dead, his face upturned to the sun,
w hose lug will see him no more. There is
r.o bloj-no wound. They gather about
him lithildreu aliout a mystery, and they
whisplo each other:
“It* not for us to slay him. The Great
Kpirilvc him his life, and tho Great Spirit
took [way!”

■ don’t know how rest.,si I feel already. I

■neh, hut want to stay quietly at home
■l the season opens. Well, where shall I
Bn M have traveled so many t housand
B and seen so strawto things and
nice people that I could never tell you ail
about them. I’m an American citizen now,
you know, and very rxroud of it you may
oe sure. Of course I’ve only filed myiuteu
tions, but that’s the same tiling.
“I celebrated the Fourth in San Francisco
by sending boxes of crackers into tb street,
and it was great fun to soe the urchins set
them off. I was to have recited something
patriot*c in a stars and stripes costume and
under the old flag, but had not the strength
to do my part. I was suffering from
malaria. It is so foggy and cold out there
at times. Somebody has said that I cannot
become a citizen according to the California
laws, because I left my residence in San
Francisco after taking the oath. But my
lawyer says everything was regular.”
“Why didn’t you become a citizen of Now
York f”
‘‘Oh, it takes five years to qualify, as you
might say. Two years are enough in Cali
fornia, and you know I am in a hurry to
become an American woman. I shall ho
afraid to go back to England, for 1 have
tempted all my servants away from their
allegiance. The butler and the footman
have both filed their intentions. Why, I'm
an awful rebel. A reporter who interviewed
me in San Francisco was an Englishman,
and I told him it was a shame to stay in
the country and not be a citizen. He "was
persuaded and took the with. I am con
verting everybody, and can never show my
face in London again.”
“To be a thorough Californian you
should have a ranch,” suggested the re
porter.
“Oh, you should see the beautiful ranch
1 have in California,” said the Lily. “A
good 7,000 acres in Lake and Napa counties.
Doesn’t that look as if I were in earnest V'
The reporter added where the little
Chinese page was.
“You might think because I wear this
costume that the dear little fellow is with
me. It was what you might eall the dress
apparel of Prince Ko Ko. You can see his
arms here ou the shoulder. But the little
page 1 His papa claimed him in San Fran
cisco and he was lost to me. But now I’m
going to have an Indian boy; I left an order
for a pretty fellow-at Ogden.”
“Did you have any adventures in the
West, Mrs. Langtry 1”
“I should say I did,” clasping her hands
at the memory; “the stage ride from Carson
to Nevada City. A week, before the coach
had been robbed. I had all the lamps
lighted, and huddled up in the corner in a
panic. I was going to be so nice and polite
to the robbers if they came.”
“Did you see the wild West?”
“I should think I did. You see, I bought
a lot of Indian trinkets at Laramie. I gave
a performance—“ Pygmalion and Galatea"
—and got all my money back from the
Indians who came to see me. They be
haved beautifully. Then there were the
Indians who came in the car to see me. I
used to make them presents. A handsome
bravo at Ogden I took for a woman. Oh,
it was so funny. I gave him fans and
little things that please a woman, and he
would have none of them. My butler took
a fancy to his embroidered leggings. The
brave took them off, and lo! he bared a leg
all swarthy—not smooth and round, like a
woman's.”
“Did you have a good season out therel”
“Yes, I was delighted with the people. In
some places they broke down the doors to
see me. Do you know,” (confidentially) “I
never had such a year before, even when
Mr. Abbey brought me out.”
And then Mrs. Langtry drew a deep
breath, half closed her eyes dreamily and
mumured in her soft voice:
“You don’t know how pleasant it feels
for a poor woman to grow rich all by her
own efforts and lie able to surround herself
with so many little luxuries. I really be
lieve,” she added, with a merry laugh, as if
she thought her hearer would take her too
seriously, “I like being a star.”
“Of course,” she was asked, “you are
going to bring all your pretty Indian things
to this house to decorate it?”
“Oh, no; you see I haye lost the house.
Somebody has bought it, and my lease
expires at the end of the year. I have
made up my mind to get another on Stuy
vesant Square. There I hope to make my
permanent home. Not very fashionable
perhaps, hut I like the quarter for the trees
and fine old houses.”
Mrs. Laugtry said she would probably
rest in New York until her season opened
on Sept. 18.
“I am going to produce anew piece by
Charles Coghlan. He will play the villain’s
part. Iu one act I shall wear
a boy’s costume of the sixteenth
century, and havo a tremendous
combat with tho sw r ord with Mr.
Coghlan. Of course I shall kill him. I
have practiced fencing for a year or more,
and I think it will be an effective scene. If
the play is a success I shall keep it on the
boards as long as the public lilies it. My
plans are quite extensive for next season;
before it ends I hojie to play in Texas.”
Mrs. Langtry seemed to think she would
have a good deal of competition in this city
during the winter. “Henry Irving is com
ing over,” she said, “Jane Hading, too,
jK'i'liaps Wilton Barret and other stars of
great magnitude, but perhaps the rivalry
will be the better for ns.”
Tho Lily sweetly evaded an inquiry about
certain legal proceedings which, rumor
says, will make her a v.oman free from
marital bonds.
Sizing Up Crooks.
From the Detroit Tribune.
“A little incident at the races to-day.” re
lated Detective Tuttle lost evening, "shows
how men may be mistaken in their suspi
cions that a man is a crook. A man came
to me and said that his pocket had been
picked of s!i and that his brother-in-law wit;
off iu tho crowd with his eye on the man
who did it. We started to hunt the brother
in-law. I asked him if he had his eye on
those two men and ho said lie did. He
wouldn’t tell me at first. He looked on me
with suspicion and thought I was an accom
plice or something of 1 hut sort, but I reas
sured hint and he [robiced them cut. I look
ed them over, but did not think they were
pickpockets. ”
“Why did you not think so?”
“They did not look like it.”
“Whit is there in a man’s appearance that
indicates he js a pickpocket?”
“Oh, I can’t tell. Jute’s too short. Tho
general cut of the jib. 1 called my part

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1887.
CUTTING A WATERMELON.
Tvyenty-stx New York Pickaninnies
Made Happy.
From the Xew York Eveninr; Sun.
A reporter stopped at a fruit stand at the
corner of Houston anti Thompson streets
this morning. Tho stand was laden with
luscious wedges of watermelon, out, of which
peeped partially encysted black seeds
resembling pieces of jet in a bed of coral.
“How much*” said the reporter.
“One centa,” replied tho Italian proprie
tor with nn anticipatory grin.
The reporter had taken one melting
mouthful when he saw standing close bv a
very small relic of “those agonizing, cruel
slavery days.” She wore but a single gar
ment. Her chin had dropped and a water
melon longing was in her eyes.
“Would you like to have a piece of water
melon?” said the reporter.
The dusky maiden put her thumb in her
mouth and twisted bashfully around on one
foot. Then she replied:
“I hain’t got no penny.”
The largest, juiciest, mellowest piece of
fruit on the stand was handed to her. She
grabbed it ns a hawk grabs a chicken and
whisked out of sight around the corner. A
minute later she reappeared with t hreo other
equally dusky maidens, who looked sheepish
and hungry" The Italian's stock was
depleted to the extent of three more pieces,
and the little Africans ran into the door of
a big tenement. Like magic from tho win
dows of the tenement woolly heads were
thrust out.
“Wha’ Is he?” came from a pair of thick
lips in a hoarse, constrained whisper.
“Dar he is behind do lam’ pus’. Dat ar’
little feller. Don’t ye see hijn, wid do big
mouf? Now lie’s Citin’ de watermillion.
Oh, you fool nigga, 3-011 can’t see nuffen’l”
There was a scamper of hurrying feet and
black expectant faces peered arpmui the
corner and from behind telegraph poles. A
good deal of whispering went on and at last
a copper-colored tittle scamp mustered up
enough courage to say:
“Mister, will ye bu> r me a piece, too?”
The scribe contracted with the dealer for
a whole melon, and hud it cut up into thirty
pieces. Then lie sent out scouts to gather in
all the children of Ham that could he found.
A grinning ravenous horde of twenty-six
they proved to be. They w-ere ranged
around the stand in a circle, and at a given
signal they began to eat. The Italian be
came alarmed for the whole neighborhood
was drawing near. Just as tho little dar
keys begun to get, near the rind the repor
ter stole away, but not so quickly but that
he heard the Italian say:
“Now nigga-a, go home. Had watermel
on. Shoo!”
The black battalion scattered like chaff
before the east wind.
Probabably in no locality in this city is
there as much watermelon retailed as in
Mulberry street. The reporter counted
twenty-eight places within three blocks of
the Bowery this morning where watermelon
could be bought for lc. a slice. The larger
dealers had push carts upon which two or
three melons were cut up awaiting custom
ers, while the smaller dealers sat behind ta
bles close to the curb. Eac h one of these re
tailei-s sat behind tables close to the club.
Each one of these retailers used a piece of
broom handle upon which were tacked
rushes to keep away the flies, which insects
buzzed around in swarms. A brisk business
was going on at each of these stands. Big,
murderous-looking knives were used to cut
up the fruit. The pavement was covered
with melon rinds and the air was heavy
with the odor of stale vegetables and fruit.
Babies in arms were chewing watermelon,
and little sons of Italy were fishing seeds
from the gutters.
At the corner of Bayard and Mott streets
a venerable, crippled irishman has a stand.
He said there was no money in a water
melon cut up into 1-ceut pieces, because the
fruit was liable to fall to pieces if a little too
ripe when cut so thin. An ordinary- melon
could be cut into from thirty- five to forty
pieces of the 1-cent size. He bought his
melons by the hundred. Tho price of the
melons was $lB per hundred on the dock,
but it cost him an dollar for delivery. If
the fruit was all good and business was
brisk, he could make a decent living, but
the competition of the “dagos” had injured
his trade materially of late years. There
was a time when he had a stand on the op
posite side of the street; even then he had to
pay sls a month rent for his stand; that
there was money in the watermelon busi
ness, hut not now, he said, as he shook his
head sadly. Beside the outlook was poor
Peaches had been injured by the excessive
rains, and altogether he didn’t know
what a poor man was going to do in this
country if “th" Europeans an’ th’ Ey-talians
was goin’t’ be brought over here by th’
shipload.”
THE PUMP SNAKE.
Dakotans Discover a Reptile They
Can Train and Use to Advantage.
A dispatch from Mount Vernon. Dak.,
to tho Chicago Tribune says: In Central
Dakota, 011 the “Missouri bottoms,” there
exists one of nature’s strangest freaks. The
settlei-s term it the “pump snake.” How it
came there and where it came from is yet
unknown. It first made its appearance in
Emmons county in the spring of
18Sfi. A full grown pump snake measures
about sixteen feet in length and about
three inches in diameter. They
are of gregarious habits, roaming the prai
ries in large herds, as many as 300 having
been counted in a single flock. 111 dissect
ing one of these reptiles there is found a
tube which extends from the roof of tho
jaw to the extremity of the tail and termi
nating in an opening This tulie is about
two inches in diameter and lined with a
tough, yielding substance similar to rubber.
The pump snake is easily trained to answer
to the call of man. The inhabitants in this
section trap them in large number*.
A farmer on Cat Tail creek lias u flock of
twenty pump-snakes trained to a remark
able degree of proficiency. At the blast of
a whistle the snakes assemble on the banks
of tho creek. The leader (there is always a
leader to a herd of these makes, who is
electee! by two thirds majority), dashes
into the water of the creek, leav
ing only' the extremities of it-, tail
on the bank. Another snake imme
diately gras|is the end of the leader’s
tail in his jaws, a third snake takes hold of
the second snake’s tail in a similar manner,
and so on until there is a continuous line of
snakes joined end on, extending to the water
troughs in the cattle yards, tJO J feet away-.
TIIO leading snake eommen-es to swallow or
pump the waters of the creek, which passes
through the long line of snake? r.s it would
through a hose, and falls in a heavy stream
into the trough.
This agriculturist tol'l of an extraordinary
circumstance which occurred a short time
ago. While working in the field neat- his
homo be observed fi-imes issuing from the
roof of bis barn. Wild with ;-item-nt
he hurried to tho blindpg building 1 nly to
see that it was a hopeless lack fo- himself
alone to attempt to extinguish the flames.
In despair ho gnzeil on tho work of de
struction; suddenly lie heard a loud rust
ling in the tall g'-as.:, whence issued Ms
herd of pump-Miul-.es ou I lie, run. Tin*
lender hurled himself into tho creek,
the rest instantly adjusting them
selves, heads and tails from the creek
to the burning building The last
snake, standing on its head, waved it
long a-id flexible lusly, from the tail end of
which itaued u stream of water that was
thrown with terrific force on f ho burning
building. Beck and forth dashed the tiif
end or that living hose, squirting the water
where it would do the most good, while tie*
loud pumping of the leader i-ouhl Is* heard
'above the roar of the conflagration. With
in fifteen minute* the l ist, quirk ivu.*- out.
Then, and not until then, did th" pump
snakes quit work. They wen* completely
exhausted, the lo.nler having fainted awav.
The main part of the b'liUlbig and its con
tents were vaved, thanks to the prose new of
mind of these wonderful makes.
The Territorial government i* becoming
awakened to tint extreme usefulness of these
interesting creatures, and laws are to be
enacted to protect the pump make.
