From the New York Bup.
Under the title "A Week in the Philip
pines,” the Courrh r de Etats-Unis is
publishing a series of letters which were
written in November, 1897, giving a detail
ed description of the island at the time of
the late insurrection against Spanish rule.
Not the least interesting In the series is
the following sketch from the note book
of the traveler, whose name will be pub
lished when the series is finished:
‘‘The desire which the Filipinos have al
ways felt for a leader has been brought
one to them in the of Aguinaldo.
Fifty years ago the ambition of a young
schoolmaster like him would not have
leached beyond the grade of captain of
banditti. Under the influence of European
ideas, which through the Butz canal have
spread themselves all over Asia, he as
pires to be the founder of a republic. 1
fear very much that he will be disappolnt
ed. But it would pain me to rail at this
young chieftain of 27 years, who, dazzled
by the glory of Washington and Bolivar,
acquired from their example sufficient
force to discipline his army and to spare
his cause from the .shame of the excesses
whom stained the flag of Spain. The
bandits whom the Spanish police had nev
er been able to subdue in the islands
claim to owe allegiance to him, and in this
they deceive nobody. It is known that
Aguinaldo follows the generous example
of Menchk toward It is prisoners, and he
has a horror of reprisals. One of his first
acts of authority was to sentence a cer
tain Bonifacio to he shot for pillage and
murder. He preserves carefully the re
ligious beliefs in the hearts of his Indians,
thoroughly appreciating the fact that his
prestige would become lessened by tlie di
minution of faith. All human authority
leans upon the supernatural, and that
perhaps is the reason why one man gains
euch ascendency over others. The Tagals,
fond of the mysterious, attribute to their
young hero superhuman power. He lives
under their tents, participates in their la
bors, casts bullets, bakes black bread, and
cooks maize. Notwithstanding all that, in
their eyes, he wears a halo. If he should
declare rhat he was invulnerable his In
dians would believe him.
“Moreover, the reports that are scat
teied around and the orders that are
transmitted assume a legendary form in
this country. Before the insurrection it
was reported in the neighborhood of Ton
do that at about 10 o’clock at night the
liery form of a woman appeared in th*-
eky with a crown of living serpents. That
was the sign for the people that the hour
for revolution was at hand. There was
also another story that, at Biaenabato, a
woman gave birth to a child dressed in
the full uniform of a general. That was
taken as the announcement of the arrival
©f shiploads of arms for the insurgents.
These stories and apparitions excited the
popular imagination, which ignored their
bidden sense and retained only the fan
tastic figure.
“It has been said that the Spanish con
quest robbed the enslaved races of their
tiaiive poetry and that it dimmed com
pletely the lucidhy of their minds. But
time always comes when the spirit of a
race is born again to grow more luxuriant
ly than ever. Even the soil gives to it a
new sap. The Spaniards, therefore, have
to-day not only to struggle against men,
but also to overcome phantoms of the
past nature aroused from its sleep, le
gends that have come down from the
mountains and the dead who have come
up from their graves. That is why th©
soldier, overburdened by his task, tights
without energy, while the insurgents dis
play in battle the most furious courage.
In some cases they hove rushed upon the
Spanish lines with nothing hut knives in
their hands and have come back to camp
tmwounded, but covered with blood.
“There is one good thing at least in war,
it develops a prodigious energy, and when
Its cause is legitimate it gives a moral
courage to all. The half-breeds and the
Indians in Manila do not differ either in
their nature or in their education from
Aguinaldo's Taga.s. Like the latter, they
have fine heads and graceful figures.
Like them, also, they have among them
broad faces, hydrocephalic foreheads and
hu upi>er lip so far removed from the nose
that the whole physiognomy presents a
painful and stupid expression. Never
theless. the foreign residents, especially
the Spaniards. Judge them falsely. They
insist that they are iazy, avaricious and
passionately fond of gambling. They
prostitute their wive>- to Europeans and
the women consider it is an honor for them
to bring into the world a child with a
‘high nose’ (alto nariz). They are steeped
in vice.
“I dined one evening with a European
lady who toM me the following story: ‘We
lived near a police barrack, and the win
•low of my room overlooked a yarei (n
Tihkh there wag a collection of officers and
soldieiH. 1 here l saw them brine in some
Indians, doubtless suspects. Thev tied

| young woman stopped her recital for tin
instant, and. with eyes hslf closed, she
u'Uled: 'Hut I have not told you the most
I horrible part of it. There were i>eot>ie
present who laughed Jouder than the ofll
■ cent nn.l the soldiers, and they were pre
j c.sely the Indians who were wailing for
' th:r (urn to receive the same ennstisp-
I rnent, und behind them In tiic street were
I‘ women and children.’
“Really the Spaniards are charming in
their stupidity. I have just paid a second
t visit |o Don 1 *opc. Ho was sealed in Ills
i officer before a big desk loaded w ith ofli
i rial papers. 1 cannot say that he sat
there like a king, because his natural dig
nity is tempered by an indulgent good
humor. Neither can I say that he posed,
because he has not the manners of a vul-
I car half-breed or of an upstart financier.
Evidently he feels himself quite at horn
surround* and by homages and flattery. He
was gentlcmamy and familiar, with a fuil
appreciation of his formidable resp nsibil
tty and the weight of empire—Atlas, the
inan of the world. He welcomed me with
these words: ‘You are France; I am Spain.
Let us shake!' And our hands clashed
across a heap of papers, which, I suppose,
represented the Pyrenees. 'Weil,' said he,
'What do you think of ihe worn n of
Manila?' I replied that I thought they
were splendid. ‘So they are,' he observed.
"And that also was the opinion of the con
sul and of the Japanese chancellor,
Messrs. Shimizu and Yamada. when 'ast
year they came to visit Manila. ttis ex
cellency, the civil governor, asked them
what they admired most during their voy
age, and they both agreed that nothing
was more striking than the beauty of the
women.'
" 'Rut,' said I, ‘did they not also come
to Judge of the strength of the men?’
" ‘Ah, I understand you.'' said Deal Pepf,
twisting hia mustache. . 'But they were
watched pretty closely, and as soon as
they were again on board Iheir ships we
seized a certain filibuster named lialbino
Ventura, who had received them in his
province. The fellow was thrown into
prison, but he played a m* in trick upon
us; he* poisoned himself. The Japanese
are an inicrier race, my dear sir. The
Tagais are another: und two inferior rac“s
always find secret affinities und Interests
in common against a superior rco.'
“ Nevertheless,’ said I. 'the inferiority
of their race does not prevent them from
o.Jmiring I* auty, since M. Shimizu ’ -
" 'Yes, yes,’ interrupted Don I’epe, ‘you
are right. Beauty is always queen; but
you must serve such beautiful wives at
the hand of Providence.'
" 'Probably Providence was thinking of
the Spaniards,' said I.
“ ‘Por Dios, monsieur!' said Don Pepe.
'The Spaniards have too much to do, and
I wish that Providence had given them
more strength to fit them for the labors
imposed upon them.’
" 'You must admit,' said I, 'that in a
time of insurrection——’ anti here again
Don Pepe interrupted me.
“.'Oil, gracious!’ he exclaimed, ‘how
can you call this brigandage an insur
rection? It can only last a short time.
We have an iron circle around It and we
hold it by the throat. Our military organ
ization is incomparable. Just look at our
hospitals!'
'• 'Would it be possible to bribe Aguin
aldo?' I asked.
“ 'The rascal Is not worth it,' said Don
Pepe. 'I elo not know what they will de
ckle to do with him, but for my part I
would shoot him.'
“ 'But will the causes of the insurrec
tion, or of this brigandage, as you call it,
disappear?’
" 'Bir,' said Don Pepe, 'wo nre all sin
ners, but I do not doubt that we will man
age to mend. We don't copy the Knglish
who treat their Cingalese like miserable
iteasts of burden.’
“I did not dare to interrupt him to tell
him that he was probably mistaken In re
gard to Knglish colonization, because at
that moment he was only listening to his
own eloquence. ‘We have civilised our
Indians,* said he; ’we have inculcated
among them religious principles; we have
received them at our tables; we have
shared everything with them, giving them
comfort and security, and now if these
rascals want to go lck again into their
mud, lot them at least give us back our
money, and the blood we have shed for
them. There can be no more Indulgence
for them, even If humanity must suffer;
no more education, even if the hearts of
our prk-sts should bleed. What we need
now is inexorable justice and an army that
will not be formed of conscripts. Is it not
a pity, sir, that they have sent ns from
Spain mere boys who at the first shot
rushefl around their officers like bees
around their queen, and who thought that
they saw the devil every time they saw
the face of an Indian? Have they lost
their heads In Madrid? They seem to lie
working for the destruction of our pres
tige. But, happily, these boys have over
come their fears, and our final triumph
is a question of only a few hours,’ ”
SOME SI BSTITFTKS FOB MATCHES.
Sawing, Plowing and the Fsc of
Flint nd Tinder.
The boy or girl brought up In familiarity
with safety matches, electric lighting, etc.,
will smile the smile of superiority when he
reads In the St. Nicholas, H. 1,. Jerome’s
description of the methods our ances
tors employed tor lighting a fire, and that
many of our uncivilized contemporaries
still employ. Fire-making by sawing, he
says, was perhaps suggested to the Ma
lays by nature. It Is said that Jungle
fires are often started by rubbing of the
Jjpmboo stocks together in high wind
storms. "The creaking of the bamboo is
indescribable; the noise of the rasping nnd
grinding of the horny stems is almost un
endurable" during these storms, say trav
elers.*
However the method may have been sug
gested to them, it is a very simple one. A
piece of bamboo having a sharp edge is
rubbed across a roundel piece in which a
notch has been cut. The Malay saw a
across until the hoi low convex piece is
pierced. The heated particles fall lielow
and ignite. Some Malays "have improved
on tills by striking a piece of ehirta, tin
der being held with it. against the outside
of a piece of bamboo, the silicious coating
of tile latter yielding a spark. like flint;"
but the sawing knife is more common.y
used. Sand fc sometimes added to increase
the friction. In some places, when the
particles fail they are gathered in a ,lrv
leaf and swung around the head until the
leaf blazes.
The plowing method seems to have
sprang wholly from the Pacific Islanders.
It Is closely connected with the sawing
method. A soft, corky bit of wood ts pick
ed up near by, and a small, pointed stick
of hard wood Is found. Kneeling on the
hearth or soft stick, the man holds the
pencil-like plow between his clasped
hands, somewhat ns one lakes a inn and
forces It forward at an angle of about 40

creasing rapidity until the wood I? ground
off and forms in a small heap at the'end
of the groove he has so made. The groove
is about six inches long. Mr. Darwin
found it difficult to mik<* fire in this way,
but at last succeeded. The Samoan can
get fire in forty seconds, and some -can
make the wood burst into flames by (hi*
method.
The fourth method of obtaining sre—-
that of “striking’ a light—is one familiar,
in a degree, to all. Before steel was ob
tainable, flint nnd pyrites were used. Eski
mos of th' Moakenzle river district use a
fire-set comiosed of a tinder-pocket,
which contains of tinder made of down
from the willow catkin? mixed with char
coal, or soaked in gunpowder and water,
a rough bar of flint, and a half sphere of
pyrites, evidently a round stone broken' in
two for greater convenience.
The tinder-bag is made of reindeer skin.
A little bog hanging from a large one
contains tinder to use in case that in the
larger one heeom< s accidentally useless;
but the litiTe bag a-.’go acts as a toggle. It
is passed under the belt when the finder
bag is carried by the squaw, much our
wom< n wear iheir chatelaine bags. * The
cover of the bag 4s an oblong pad stuffed
with deer hair. The pad is held on the
fore-finger under the pyrites to protect the
hand when a spark is being struck off into
the tinder in the hag.
With the iron age came the use of the
flint and st el. and the most ancient speci
mens of those fire-making tools are so
nearly like those found in many an old
garret to-day iliat description seems un
necessary. *
The Chinese strlke-n-lights show a very
Ingenious way of combining the steel with
a pouch in which to carry the flint and
tinder. In Thibet the pouches are often
elaborately trimmed with incrusted silver
set w’ith costly jewels. The Japanese still
use flint and steel. Their tinder-boxes have
two compartments. The smaller one is for
the tinder and has a damper. The larger
one Is for the flint and steel. They mount
the steel In wood. Until matches were in
vented the most convenient fire-making
tools in the world were those used 4n
Japan.
Our North American Indians were slow
to acknowledge civilized arts and methods
as superior to their own; but fire-making
with Him and steel appealed to them at
once, and was promptly adopted. Buck
skin pouches were made in which to carry
the flint and steel, and hung from a be't
beside the tomahawk. They have many
curious belief* concerning fire and its ori
gin. The Alaskan Indians will tell you that
Yeti,” the Great Raven, who created man
and gave him all blessings, after- obtain
ing light and fresh water, stole a burn
ing brand from a lire island (volcano; in
the sea, and started back to earth holding
It in his beak. Hut the journey was so
long that the brand burned shorter and
shorter. Swiftly and more swiftfy Yeti
plied his magic wings; but the brand burn
ed his bill, and then dropped to the ground
and scattered in all directions. And be
cause the divine fire dropped from Yeti s
beak, entered into every rock and every
dry bit of wood lying on the surface of tho
earth, they say one can always call Are out
of the rocks by striking them with steel,
or out of wood by rubbing it with other
wood.
This is the Alaskan explanation of the
mystery known to us as fire-making.
WOLVES DESTROY ING DEER.
Serious State of Affairs In llie North
Woods of Michigan.
From the Detroit News Tribune.
Old hunters are greatly alarmed by the
immense and ever-increasing slaughter of
the Michigan deer by marauding packs of
wolves, especially in the upper peninsula,
where wolves roam in unrestricted free
doip in the dark, green woods.
Recent despatches say that the slaughter
of deer by wolves was never so great as
during the winter Just t>ast. It has fre
quently been asserted that the wolves kill
far more deer than the hunters; wolves ob
serve no "closed seasons;’’ they defy the
price that the Michigan statutes place
upon their scalps, und they increase and
multiply to an alarming extent.
"The wolves will always be with us,"
said Charles A. Kathbone. "The last of the
wild antmafs to be exterminated will be
the wolves and the bears. It has been
the experience In other and older states,
and 1 have no reason to think that It will
be any different with us. Wolves will be
howling in this stale long after the deer
are gone.
“Have you ever come upon a pack of
wolves killing a deer?” Mr. Rathbone was
asked.
"Not exactly; but I know a great deal
about the hablta of these animals, by rea
son of my experience Jn the woods. Out
west, many years ago, where I used to go
to hunt hufTalo, the big gray wolf wou-'d
not hesitate to attack a man, especially
if It were hungry. The infuriated animal
would leap at the man's throat and the
helpless hunter would Instantly be engaged
in the one grand struggle of his life.”
"About how many deer do you suppose
the wolves in Michigan kill every year,
Mr. Rathbone?” '
"The slaughter is, something enormous.
Most of these doer have been wounded by
hunters, and then are pounced upon later
by the wolves and brought to death. It
is not likely that a wolf could catch u
deer that had not made a run on the same
dny, but a deer that has not made a run
eouhl scarcely be hounded to death by
wolves, unless the snow was very deep
and the deer broke through the crust.
That, by the way, is what helps the
wolves to overtake a deer. But if a
pack set upon a deer that was perfectly
fresh, making the condition that there
was not too much enow In the woods, the
deer would most certainly make Its es
cape.
"There are not many gm.v wolves in
Michigan any more, hut there are plenty
of brown ones, such as abound in the vi
cinity of Turtle lake, where a number of
Detroiters go every year for hunting and
shooting. There Is an old Frenchman up
there. Paul, who ia about ninety years old,
nnd who makes a special business of
shooting an*l trapping wolves. He has
had great success for many years past,
selling the pelts of m nk nnd muskrat. Hi*
favorite method was to take a carcass, say
a sheep, and sprinkling It with a liberal
amount of slrlchnlne, place It In some
lonesome place In the wools. While we
were up there an old gray wolf used to
rob our chicken coop. We used to hear
him howling around the club house, off
in the cover, at night; but try as he could,
Paul could not get him. The old fellow
wa* too smart. Sometimes we would find
the remnants of a big fish on the banks
of a stream, where he had been making
his dinner. He was so old and feeble that
, he could no longer run with the pack,
I so he had to forage for what he could
get. the easiest, living on fish and occa
sionally even growing bold enough to ap
pear In a clearing ant kid a farmer's
sheep. Paul tried poisoning him, but the
cunning fellow seemed to have an Intui
tion of trouble, and avoided the poisoned
carcass as though he had been informed
in advance. Then Paul tried traps, those
big-jawed springs with spike teeth set for
bear. He place them around through the
country for half a miles, but he never
caught the big gray wolf; and as far as 1
know this sagacious animal is still roam
ing in the woods.
"A wolf is one of the softest-footed an
imals in the woods. On the light snow
crust its immense pads, softer than
bunches of felt, ibe big animal slips
noiselessly along, creeping on a sleeping
hare, springing forward and catching it
before the little animal has time to scur
ry for shelter. By such tactics as these
do the wolves of Michigan earn their liv
ing; and they fofage night and day with
out cessation. When food is scarce they
boldly enter the sheepfolds and attack
pigpens and chicken houses at the edge
of anew clearing. At a time of famine
hunger gives the pack enormous courage
and strength.
“Wolves also stalk deer while the Jeer
are In the stream or crossing the <ce,
catching them In the river and battling
to the death in the icy waters. Wolves
hunt like hounds, only with more fierce
ness, because they are stronger and
longer-winded than deerhounds. It will be
many years before the wolves in this state
are exterminated; yes, they will be here
after the deer are gone.
Old hunters tell stories of the great
cunning of wolves in hunting deer. I
have oiten heard how a pack would single
a doe from a herd, chase her all night
long, the wolves apparently taking up the
hunt In relays, in a great circle, a wolf
being stationed, as it were, here and there,
over a wide stretch of country; and as
soon as one pursuer was tired to death a
strange wolf-cry would summon a fresh
member of the pack to take up the furi
ous bnttle. The hunted deer would al
ways be kept in the same immense circle,
where, hemmed in by a wall of wolves, one
might say, she would run to and fro. over
whole counties, it may be, eventually, to
moot her death through the Infinite cun
ning of the pack of wolves.
"A favorite time for wolf'hunting is at
nlg-nt. and often enough we have heard
:be shrill cry of a pack on the trail of
some luckless doe; and the way she could
go through the wood, ev*m on the darkest
night, would surprise an engineer of an
express train. All night long the hunt
would continue, and if the snow was deep
the wolves would come up by and by
anil then would occur the battle roya! to
the Utath.
Standing: at bay. the deer would await
the onslaught. Perhaps the first wolf
leaping at her throat, would be received
by her hoofs and quickly sent rolling in
pain. If not to actual death. Then the
pack would fly at her and the death strug
gle with a wolf hanging to her neck would
soon end all; with wild howling* they
would proceed to tear into shreds her
tender body, eating until fairly ready to
die from gorging; then, withdrawing to a
thicket, would fall asleep. If a man hap _
pened to come up at the high! of the
fight it would be all his life were worth
but If he appeared .after the terrific
of the wolves had been partially satisfied
he would be comparatively safe for a
wolfs first impulse when it sees a man
is to seek cover.”
MUniIES IS W'ALV,
Most Interesting Specimens to lie
Found at Palermo and Rome.
From the Scientific American.
The vicissitudes of the dead would fur
nish material for an Interesting and grew
some volume. We are, of course, not sur
prised when we see an Egyptian mummy,
but it Is very extraordinary that during the
middle ages and the renaissance a species
of mummification was also adooted in
Italy, and even continues to this day. The
two most curious examples of this are the
cemetery of the Capuchins, tn Rome, and
the catacombs of the Capuchins, at Paler
mo. In the latter place, we believe, bodies
are still added; though probably not in the
Roman Capuchin cemetery, as intramural
interments are forbidden in Rome even to
Popes. The ehtacomba of the Cuppuc
clni„ at Paietmo, consist of a
series of chambers which are well
lighted, adding to their ghastli
ness. Mere are to be seen the mummies of
the dead of the better class, in the convent
vaults. They are fully attired, even 'down
to the white kid gloves. Some are erect
against the wall, and others again burled
In chests, while some sit in chairs, all
ticketed with their names and dates
Every year or two the gloves, and less fre
quently the clothes, are renewed by the af
fectionate survivors, who go on great feasl
days of the church to gladden their eyes
with the family mummies, A visit on the
eve of All Saints’ day is a thing long to
be remembered. Eights flare dimly through
lanterns of bone, revealing the hideous
iorms of Ihe dead. The bodies against the
walls appear like malefactors who had
been hung. Many of the bodies appear
shabby as regards dress, as their friends
do not give them n posthumous toilet from
time to time, which Is so necessary to keep
them in good repair.
The cemetery of the Capuchins Vn Rome
ia fully as interesting and ghastly. It is a
series of vaulted chambers above life
ground, so that there Is no need of artificial
daylight. Around the walls skulls and oth
er bones are arranged in patterns. The
ceilings are covered by ornamental pat
terns made of smaller bones, and lamp*
depending from the ceiling are also made
from bones of the arm.
After a monk dies he is buried for a term
of years In the ground in the chapel, the
earth lying brought originally from Jeru
salem. His bones are then taken out and
help to deck the grewsome chambers. A
few monks of, particular sandty are not
burled at nil, but placed against the ws'.t
and dried in situ.

School Tenclier Interested In the

From the New York Sun.
The Brooklyn school teacher stumbled
through the darkness to a real in the
tear right off the middle aisle, guided by
the usher's hands. He had told her that
it was impossible to give her the seat
her numbered cheek called for, because
once the stereopticon views began the the

remain so' until the finish. The Brooklyn
girl didn't care, for she could see the
views as well from one part of the house
as the other, and she was vastly interested
in the subject of the lecture, "The Grand
Canon of Colorado.”
A beautiful view of a sandstone desert
was dissolving from the screen as she
took her seat and the lecturer’s voice
sounded through the darkness in a some
what dreary monotone, as a mighty cliff
broke out upon the screen with magnifi
cent distinctness, followed by a low clap
ping of hands from the audience.
"Here,” said the lecturer, “we see one
of those wonderful works of nature be

knew it was a man by the way he stum
bled over her feet, and she put out her
hand instinctively to prevent him from
stepping or sitting upon her. Suddenly
she felt her hand grasped convulsively,
and a boyish voice, husky and muffled,
sounded close in her ear.
“Great Scott, Jessie, I've had the most
dreadful time finding this scat. In the
dark! The usher said it was no use; that
people who came in late had to sit wher
ever they could. You can imagine how I
felt after sending you the check for the
seat next mine. I told him I had to meet
somet>ody, and he said that was all right;
I could meet them after the lecture. He
wasn t on. you see. Gee! Oh, Jessie. I'm
so glad I found you! You don't know”—
"Hush!" said the Brooklyn girl. She
realized that he had made a mistake and
took her for someone else; but she was
not going to whisper explanations in a
strange young man’s ear, and if she talked
loud it would disturb everybody. Besides,
if this impetuous youth found that It
wasn't really Jessie, he would climb over
the wholfe audience looking for her. So
she said "Hush!” and he clasped her
hand,more tenderly.
A beautiful view of a river seething be
tween two rocky walls burst into view.
"Here,” said the lecturer, "the great
torrent, imprisoned in its rocky cell hun
dreds of feet deep, hursts into sight, boil
ing in a whirlpool of light and color and
life ere it leaps into the under canon. The
small speck of yellow light in the lower
left-hand corner of the view indicates the
last view of the same stream that the trav
eler enjoys before it disappears In ita
rocky bed thousands of feet below.”
"Speak to me, Jespnmine,” said the
young man next the Brooklyn girl In a
lower and hoarser tone than before, “You
are so unlike yourself to-day. If you
knew how hard it was for a fellow to get
seats since the boys got on to this! Why,
there is a bigger rush for tickets than if
it were a Yale-Prlnceton game. This
house is full of Columbia men. I can
smeli Boardman's cigarettes right around
here somewhere. He paid $5 for two seats
and”—
"Sh!” said the Brooklyn girl. "I don't
know what you mean. I can’t hear the
man. Keep still.” She mutured what she
said in a whisper so low that she didn't
know her own voice.
"Ha! ha!” chuckled the young man.
"Just as though you cared for the old
lecture! Just as thrugh any of us cared!
Do you think Goat Baxter comes here for
the lecture? Ha! ha!”
"What doeß he come for, then?” whis
pered the Brooklyn girl, curiosity getting
the better of her. She wondered why any
one should come and sit In the dark for
an hour and a half If not for the lecture.
“Why. didn't I tel! you how he discov
ered this game? Goat Baxter, 1901, is the
Columbus of Columbia! He’s engaged io a
Barnard glri, only her folks don’t know
11; neither do his! She’s not allowed to
speak to any of the fellows; that is, walk
home from school or anything. Well, Bax
ter's father gave him a course ticket for
these things. And Bax didn't do a thing
but buy another, and get the seats togeth
er. Then he sent her the others. They
meet here and sit and hold hands and plan
how they’ll elope. The boys”—
"Now, ladies and gentleman," began the
lecturer. “I will ask you to step with me
into the lower valley of the Bed Ritter.
Notice the curiously colored boulders ris
ing at either side of the stream, which here
seems clear and placid, although its depth
is over 1,000 feet. Here to the right you
see the celebrated Dead Indian rock, where
you will notice the perfect outline of an
Indian stretched at full length, as though
upon a bier. While we do not pretend to re

"Jessie." said the voice in the ear of the
Brooklyn girl. It was a commanding whis
per this time.
• Sh!” she wispered back. “Be quiet!”
“Passing on to this peaceful camp where
we stop for the night under the friendly
stars of the far-off sky" sounded the
lecturer's voice.
"Jessie.”
“What? Sh! Stop!"
“You’re not wearing my ring? What
does that mean? Have you taken it off?
Have you ceased to ”
"Sh! Keep still. I want to listen ”
"You’re evading my question. I believe
you are "
"From the top of this slight elevation
we now command a superb view of the
surrounding country for many miles, en

who look upon this beautiful picture can

“Where is the ring?"
“I left it on the washstand. Sh."
"On the washstand? And that Is all you
care? Don’t you care. Jessie?”
"No. Keep still, won't you? Sh!"
"Ha!"
"Don’t you know you are disturbing
everybody? Stop!”
“What Is the matter with you to-day?"
"Hush."
“And now," said the lecturer, "we me

“What are you laughing at?”
