[t seems that several pights ago two
pawson beavx, whose sqmatpescannob
pe learned, but whose given names are
puofus aod Frae 7 hied themselves to
the classic shades of Cbickasaw
patchee vi'lage. As is often so, there
were ladies in tbe case. Soon aiter
(pey Jeft Dawson ibree other boys de
ci¢ed voon SOME 100, anrd with rhem 1o
ihink was to acu. Climbing into a bug
sv they rollowed in the wake
of the precediog ga'lauts an hour
or two later. A o ving at Chickasaw
patchee swam they' tied the horse
sume distance from tire road, entered
the swamp ard, plunging intot, halted
ren or fifveen feet from the roadside,
where they awaited the two swa'os on
{beir retora tHip home.
They had not long vo wait. Soon tae
convevance of ihe unlucky pair was
peard coming at a slow trot down the
pill at the entrance Lo the swamp.
[Fere, it is sa’'d, vhe pages of the forth
coming povel will fairly bristle with
intensely thrilling ioterest, ec'ipsing,
in fact, any accouvis of the operations
of Rube Burrows or the James boys.)
The two boys, yclept Rufus and
Frank, entered tbhe swamp unsaspi
ciously and ill prepared for the ghoul
ish orgies which were s 0 soon to fol
low.
Then the fireworks began, O a svd-
Jen, spoken in a sonorous voice, came
the command, ‘‘Halt, there!” This
was followed by a fusilade of shous.
The actions of an adept at legeidemain
are p"odigiously speedy, but 'tis whis
pered that it can’t compare with those
of the two boys in the buggy that fate
ful mght. Rofus, who was driving,
made a dive for the whip, yelled to his
partoer in peril to “let ’'em have it,”
and struck the horse a resovnding
whack. 'Mid the fire and counterfire
the faithfuvl horse tore through the
swamp iike a fiend possessed. Then a
funny thing bappened. Not a breeze
wias sti=~'ng, yet simultaneously two
hats rose from vwo heads and fell to
tre ground behind “vhe swift flying
bugey. There is only one reasonable
syplanation, viz : the two boys’ hair
wod steaight up and forced the hats
¢, Said the boy who was firing, “My
la's gone.’”’ Said the boy who was
friving, *‘So is mine. D— the hats!
Git up?” This part of the occerrence
is indignantly denied by the two al
leged to have made the remarks, but
the denial is useless, as they were
heard. !
“*Are you hit 2" queried the intrepid
driver in the buggy. *‘No, but I'd just
about as soon be,” replied the other.
Although it was as black as Egypt in
the swamp, 'tis said that the waylay
ers could easily distinguish the pale
ness of the faces in the buggy. ’'Tis
also said tbat the drive from the
swamp to Dawson, a distance of six
miles, ¥as wade in twenty-five minutes
by the watch. Jack Cameron’s fire de
partments would have made but a poor
comparison with the stable turnout
that night. When asked why they ran
one of the two boys in the buggy re
plied 'twas because they couvldn’t flv.
_Several other interesting features of
the case might be told, but it wouldn’t
be acting fairly toward the avthors of
the novel. Wait and read it.

S 0 many reports which are eL-Lil‘elYi
withovt foundation have been printed
in the daily papers and caused us
great grief in addiiion to what we al
ready bad to bear. Very truly,
EFFIE MARSHALL.

at Nashville, Tenn. Inthe lastfew
months, owing to failing health, he
disposed of his bousiness interesis in
Dawson and returned to his home in

reyolver, aud Jingered until Saturday
pight. He left a note stating that with
mental derangement stariog him in
the face be could not grapple with the
problems of liie, and preferred to die.
It was a sad euding to a bright life.
Upder ratvral conditions the sympa
thies of the pubiic would go out to hon

An Ancient Foe
To health and happiness is Serofula—
as ugly as ever since time immemorial.
It causes bunches in the neck, dis
figures the skin, inflames the mucous
membrane, wastes the muscles, weak
ens the bones, reduces the power of
resistance to disease and the capacity
for recovery, and develops into con
sumption.
«A bunch appeared on the lett side of
' my neck. It caused great pain, was lanced,
and became a running sore. I went into a
‘ general decline. I was persuaded to try
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and when I had taken
six bottles my neck was healed, and I have
never had any trouble of ghe kind since.”
