—Woman s Journal.
FOLLOWED,
I was acting as Paymaster and Chief
Commissary Clerk for a firm of grade
contractors upon the Northwestern road,
which was then pushing through North¬
ern Nebraska into the adjacent Territory
of Wyoming.
We were doing some heavy grading
and rock work, and with a large force
were pushing the work day and night iu
order to get out of the way of the track,
which had then advanced to a point with¬
in a day’s ride of us.
We had let pay-day slip by without
paying the men, and hoped to satisfy
them by the issue of time checks until
the track should overtake us, and our
money could come to us with little risk
on the construction train. But, three or
four days after “paying off” time, some
of the men began to grow suspicious and
to grumble, and threatened to quit work
until their checks were cashed. They
were afraid we might somehow slip up
on them and they wouldn’t get their
money.
As we were in desperate need of every
available hand, it was necessary that
the men should be satisfied, So
it was determined that I should go tA
Chadron, our supjfly base aud banking
point, and bring up enough money to
pay the men their last month’s wages,
which amounted to about four thousand
dollars.
I decided to go alone. I set out that
night on horseback, and I reached the
“end of track” at Crawford siding the
next morning iu time to leave my horse
at a neigboring ranch corral, and get
aboard a supply train which had just
unloaded, and was now' going back.
At Chadron the supply store of the
main contractor, a huge, roughly built
shed, Stood at a side track about forty
rods from the main street of the town.
Here I was accustomed to order supplies,
and get drafts Tor money from the book¬
keeper from time to tune.
That morning, after finishing my busi¬
ness with the supply department, I went
to the book-keeper to procure a draft. A
crowd of railroad laborers were waiting
before his window to get their time-
checks cashed, or secure passes to go up
or down the road. I noticed that two
of these men were better dressed than
the others, but ’thought nothing of the
circumstance.
I awaited my turn at the window, and
handed the book-keeper a slip of paper
oil which was written, 1 ‘Four thousand
three hundred and forty-seven dollars
and fifty cents, Pay Roll—Rodney and
Curtis.” He made me a draft for the
amount named, folded it carelessly,
thrust it through the window, and took
the receipt which I had just written, and
then turned to the next man.
As I left the store I passed the two men
whom I had noticed at the window j and
it struck me, upon a more attentive view,
that they were rather sharpers than work¬
ingmen, although I had seen them cash
two time-checks, and get passes for some
point up the road. The construction train
did not leave until 8 o’clock that after¬
noon, and I lounged upon the shady stoop
of the Chadron House watching the
passers-by and chatting with the landlord,
who was an old acquaintance of miue
when I lived in the East. I had a pleas¬
ant dinner with him, and after the meal
was finished, I walked across the square
to Lake & Haley’s Bank, at the corner of
the two principal streets of the town,
where I cashed the draft.
The bills I received I stuffed into vari¬
ous side pockets of my clothes, and stowed
a sack of silver change into a small leather
“grip” which I carried iu my hand.
I heard a locomotive whistle and, turn¬
ing walked quickly out of the bank. As
I reached the sidewalk, I was startled to
see the two men who had before attracted
my notice step rather hastily away
from the sidewalk iu front of the bank
windows, and walk across the street.

and brought to my room at the hotel, as
might easily have been done. But it is
easy enough, after you have done a fool-
ish thing, to think how much better you
mighthave *
While managed it.
I sat upon one of the hand
benches in the caboose, with my “srip”
lying beneath the seat, I considered how
I should dodge the two fellows at Craw-
ford. There was no danger that I should
be robbed on the train, as there were at
least twenty passengers on board. Pres-
ently one of the men sauntered up to my
seat, ^at down by me, and began to
talk.
“Sec?” said he, “You're with Rodney
an 1 Curtis, ain’t yeh, one o’ their fore-
men?'
I answered carelessly that I was in
their employment.
“Paul ’n' Is goin’ up the road lookin'
fur a rock job. We're strikers. Could
yehire us, d ye think?''
“Certainly," said I, “we need more
badly, especially good strikers. Will
give you two dollars a day, and you can
work a part of the night shift. If you
like.
Then, as unconcernedly as I could. I
went on to tell him About our work, and
directed him how to find our headquar-
ters. I told him I should leave Craw-
ford after breakfast the next morning on

off my guard.
On my arrival at Crawford I went to
the company's tent, where food and other
supplies brought on the construction
trains were stored until they could be
shipped forward by wagon to points
where our forces were at work. There I
explained the situation to the two clerks
in charge of the tent, and said that I
wished to spend the night with them.
I was armed with a good “six-shooter,”
and the clerks had each a light Winches¬
ter rifle. They said we could guard the
money without trouble that night, and it
was arranged that I should start for the
grading camp at three o’clock the next
morning. By leaving at so early an hour
I believed that I could baffle pursuit by
any robbers tvho might have conspired
to follow me.
My pony—a tough Oregon half-breed
—was picketed that evening behind the
supply tent, and the clerks and I took
turns in sitting on guard at the opening
of the tent. I saw nothiug of the two
“strikers” after we left the train, aud no
suspicious person approached the tent
that night. I shifted the silver from my
“grip” into a pair of saddle-bags, and,
armed with my revolver and a borrowed
Winchester rifle and a belt of cartridges,
mounted my pony at three o’clock the
next morning to complete my journey.
Day was just breaking when I came to
the fork of the trail at Fort Robinson,
two miles out from Crawford siding.
Both routes led to the grading camp—
one trail lay through White River canon
and the other led to my destination by
way of Driftwood. One of these routes
I must take, aud as the men who were
“shadowing” me believed that I would
proceed by way of Driftwood I chose the
White River canon route, a rough, new
trail that for seventeen miles ted through
a tumbled, rocky gorge or canon in the
bottom of which rippled merrily the little
streamlet that is the beginning of the
White River.
I urged my pony at a good pace until,
after sunrise, I passed a camp of freight¬
ers who werejpreparing their breakfast,
and later met several wagons on the
move, which relieved the loneliness of
my ride and caused me to feel more se-
cure. As the morning was hot and op-
pressive I now proceeded more slowly.
About half an hour after meeting the
freighters I halted at one of the numer¬
ous creek crossings, and dismounted to
drink and to cat a •part of the lunch ot
crackers and dried beef which I had
brought from the commissary tent. As
I had no cup I stretched myself out upon
the rocks at the edge of the current, and
buried my nose in the cool water of the
spring-fed stream.
As I lay drinking, v ith my head just
above the water, a distant sound of
hsrses’ hoofs struck on my ear. I ceased
to drink, listened intently, and soon
heard distinctly the noise of horsemen
coming rapidly up to the canon.
I sprang to my feet in alarm. My first
impulse was to mount my pony and apply
the spurs, but as his gait, a racking gal¬
lop, was a very slow one, T came to the
sudden conclusion to dodge into the
brush and let the horsemen, whoever they
were, go by. There were a few box
alder-trees and several clusters of plum
bush close ueder the rocks on the right.
I grasped the bronco’s rein, and led him
in behind the thickest of the thorn and
tied him.
I had little time to think or act before
the horsemen came up at a gallop. I
peered through the leaves as they rattled
on, aud discovered that there were six
riders, and that the two strikers were in
the lead. They passed my hiding-place
without an apparent suspicion that I was
concealed there, and, though still much
alarmed, I was congratulating myself that
I had outwitted them when, just as they
rode into the water, my pony lifted up
his head and uttered a shrill, inquiring
whinny.
The party instantly halted. Every
rider turned his face eagerly in my
direction, and a half-dozen rifles and re¬
volvers were jerked into readiness for
action. Mj r pony whinnied again before
I could get a grip upon his muzzle, and I
felt that unless some unexpectedly fortu¬
nate circumstance intervened I should
lose the money and probably my life.
The horsemen were determined, villain¬
ous-looking men, and as I glanced about
I saw they had a great advantage over
me. The scattered patches of pine scrub
on the steep bare sides of the gorge
offered me but little shelter for a retreat,
and the bushes behind which I stood
were but a slight protection against Heavy
bullets. At a second whinny of my
horse the men dismounted and stood be¬
hind their animals.
“He’s in there, sure,” I heard one of
them say. “Spread out, boys an’ let's
surround them bushes.”
Without waiting to hear any more I
thrust the Winchester through the tops
of a plum bush and fired at the nearest
horse, aiming at its body back of the
shoulder. The animal went down with
a groan, and the man behind it sprang
back with a fierce oath.
Mv only hope now lay in swift action
find certain aim. A quick motion of the
lever reloaded and cocked my Win-
Chester, aud almost before the horse had
fallen to the ground I had aimed and
fired at the fellow as he turned to run for
cover.
He fell, but got up and ran again,
Shifting my aim, I opened a rapid fire
upon the other horses and meu. The
robbers returned a few hasty and inef-
fectual shots and then scattered in flight,
^ben I had fired the seventeen shots,
which emptied my repeating rifle, three
horses lay on the borders of the canon at
various distances away, and one man
with a broken leg Mas dragging himself
toward the shelter of the creek bank,
His companions had fled down the canon,
two on foot ahd the otners on horseback,
Three or four of their shots had struck in
brush about me, but none had hit,
me.
The sudden, fierce determination
which had seized upon me, and the
swift, effective firing which followed,
were as much a surprise to myself as thev
could have been to the “road agents,”
who no doubt believed there was more
than one shooter behind the bushes that
sheltered me. I dared not stop to look
after the wounded man, who undoubted-
ly would have fired at me if I had ap-
proached him. Mounting my pony and
keeping bushes.'I as much as possible under cover
of rode my animal at his best
speed up the canon.
About five miles from the scene of the
shooting I came upon a graders’ camp,
and sent some of the men to look after
the wounded robber aud to secure the’
saddles of the fallen horses.
I afterward learned that they got the
saddles but. 'could find nothing of the
man. Youth's Companion.
The Demon Steer.
According to George Wilson, a Wyo¬
ming cowboy, says a correspondent of
the New York Sun , there has roamed on
the ranges adjacent to the Platt and the
Laramie Rivers for these many years a
mastodon wild steer whose aggressive¬
ness and power make him the dread of
every round-up outfit. This combative
beef bears not a brand, but no “rustler”
dare appropriate him.
“The demon steer,” as the pugnacious
brute is called, knows no fear, and with
lowered head, glistening eyes and sonor¬
ous bellow will charge upon anything
in liis course. Time upon time has he
been rounded up with his comparatively
docile companions, but he invariably
rushes past the line of riders as if no
such obstruction to his flight existed.
Once an outfit determined to effect the
capture of the big fellow, but after he
had gored two horses and seared the wits
from half a dozen riders the undertaking
was abandoned.
This prairie terror only last season, in
a fit of rage at those who dared intrude
on the peaceful solitude of the range,
charged at midday into a camp, creating
a panic to which was ideal quietness the
clatter incident to the stampede of the
fabled bull in the imaginary china shop.
There was a grand scattering of equip¬
age and a disordered flight of the diners.
One of these latter was so incensed that,
contrary to all orders, he sent a six-
shooter ball after the massive steer, but
the missile flew wide of its mark.
Wilson asserts that he will undertake
to prove that the “demon steer” killed a
big bear in a fair fight on the Sabylle
three years £go, and the cowboys will bet
all their earthly belongings that Demon
can conquer any bull in the Territory.
The combat with the bear was a terrible
affair. Bruin was forced to the defen¬
sive from the start, and for a time
pluckily met the fearful onslaughts of
the fighting steer, jarring the-great form
with blows from liis paws. ^ The activity
of the steer was marvelous. He played
around his antagonist as the sparrer an¬
noys his foe, and at nearly every charge
ran his long sharp horns into the blood-
matted sides of the bear with the wicked
“swish” of the effective sword thrust.
Wilson thinks the “demon steer” will
die of old age. The man who attempts
his capture takes his life in his hands.
Devices of Hindoo Criminals.
Some curious devices practiced bj
criminals are mentioned by the writer ol
a series of articles in the Times of India
on “By-paths of Crime in India.” One
curiosity which lie was shown on a visit
to the jail in Calcutta was a heavy lead
bullet, iibout three-quarters of an inch in
diameter. This was found on au habitual
thief, and was being used to form a pouch
or bag in the throat for secreting money,
jewels, etc., The iu the event of his being
searched. ball is put into the mouth,
and is allowed to slide down gently until
it reaches some part near the epiglottis,
where it is held in position and is kept
there for about half an hour at a time.
This operation is repeated many times
daily, and gradually a, sort of pocket is
formed, the time being longer or shorter,
according to the size of pocket required.
In some cases six months have been suffi¬
cient, in others a year, while in some cases
two years are necessary. Such a pouch
as this last is capable of holding ten ru¬
pees, about the size of ten florins. The
thief, therefore, can undergo search, and
nothing being found, he goes away with
the spoil in his throat, the power of
breathing and speech being in no way in-
terferred with.
About a score of prisoners in the Cal¬
cutta Jail have such pouch formations.
In the hospital of the prison the visitor
learned some of the malingering - practices
of Indian criminals. In one case he saw
a youth who was a perfect skeleton, with
lustrous eyes looking out in a ghastly
manner from a worn, haggard face. It
was discovered that he had for two years
been taking an irritant poison, with a
view to produce diarrhoea, in order to
shirk work and get pleasant quarters in
the hospital. But he had overdone the
part, for he had reduced himself to such
a condition that recovery was all but im¬
possible. This taking of internal irri¬
tants is a common practice among the
habitual criminals of Caleulta. Castor
oil seed, croton seed and two other seeds
which have no English name are the
agents most commonly employed. One
man was pointed out who, in order to get
off his fetters, had produced an ulcer by
rubbing the chafed skin with caus.m lime
and then irritating the sore by scratching
it with a piece of broken bottle.
How file Baby Grows.
In the last volume of the “Education
Series” on the “Development of the In¬
tellect,” H. W. Brown has presented a
conspectus of the observations of Pro¬
fessor Preyer on the mind of the child,
which shows chronologically the gradual
development of the senses, intellect and
will of the growing child, and presents
in a condensed form the result of a great
number of careful observations. It is re-
corded that sensibility to light, touch,
temperature, smell and taste are present
on the first day of infant life. Hearing,
therefore, is the only special sense which
is not active at this time. The child
hears by the third or fourth day. Taste
and smell are senses at first most active,
but they are not differentiated. General
organic sensations of well-being or dis-
comfort are felt from the first; but pain
and pleasure, as mental states, are not
noted till at or near the second month.
The first sign of speech in the shape
of utterance of consonant sounds is heard
in the latter part of the second month,
these consonants being generally “m,
“r,” “g” or “t.” All the movements
of the eyes become co-ordinate by the
fourth month, and by this time the child
begins to have the “feeling of self”—
that is, he looks at. his own hands and
looks at himself in the mirror. The
study of the child's mind during the first
year shows conclusively that ideas de-
velop and reasoning processes occur be-
fore there is any knowledge of words or
of language; though it may be assumed
that the child thinks in symbols, visual
or auditory, which are clumsy equiva-
lents for words. By the end of the year
the child begins to express itself bv
sounds—that is. speech begins. The
development of this speech capacity is,
according to Preyer, in accordance with
the development of the intellectual
powers. By the end of the second year
the child’s power of speech is practically

A Hatter of Health.
Almost every branch of gymnastics is
employed doctors, in one way or another by the
but the simple and natural
function of singing has not yet received
its full meed of attention. In Italy,
some years ago, statistics were taken
which proved that the vocal artists were
especially long-lived and healthy, under
normal circumstances, while of the brass
instrumentalists itwas discovered that con¬
them. sumption never claimed a victim among
Those who have a tendency to¬
ward consumption should take easy vocal
exercises, their no matter how thin and weak
voices seem to be. They will find
a result at times far surpassing any re¬
lief afforded by medicine. Vocal prac¬
tice, iu moderation, is the best system of
general gymnastics that can be imag¬
ined, mauv m iselos being brought into
play that would scarcely be suspected of
action in connection with so simple a
matter as tone production. Therefore,
apart from all art considerations, merely
as a matter of health, one can earnestly
say to the healthy, “Sing! that you may
remain so, ” and to the weakly, “Sing
that you may become strong.”
Relief for Luug Troubles.
A Southern lady, having heard that
there was peculiar virtue in a pillow made
from pine straw, aud having none of that
material at hand, made one from fine,
