???Mr story," ???' tba Now York mag,
???Isn???l a bit iuu. v. Maybe Rome of yog know
Hiram B. Btebbioi, Ha???i in feathera, artiS
dal flowan, ladies??? notions, hat trimmings
and such. A morose, croaa kind of man, that
don???t make friends outside of the trado. They
do say that when he was young he waa a real
nice fellow, bnt bothering with men milUnsra
and women in the bonnet business and trying
to keep abreaat of the fashions soured a natu
rally gcod temper. Well, Hiram B, Btebbins
la not n bit sociable, and a sort of chap to let
alone. Never understood a joke in his life.
???We often crossed one another on the road,
but after saying, ???Howd'ye,??? that's all the
words we exchanged A year ago I mat him
S oing west from Dubuque on a scalding hot
ay in July; thermometer away up in the
nineties and the car just fn a blaze. The car
full and a greet mtny women aboard. Just
back of me waa a nice looking young woman,
dressed in deep mourning, and she held a
??? _ . irying. It was just a
mite of a child, puny looking, and, I should
judge, barely six weeks old. Back of her
sat Btebbins, looking as cross and surly at a
bear with a sore bead, apparently annoyed by
the cries of that baby. The woman???s back be
ing terned to Hlrtm he couldn???t see she was
crying. OS started the train, and the dust and
the cinders sifted.through in showers. Most
ererybody seemed cross, and Hiram uncom
monly so. There waa no smoker on the train,
and we bad to stay in that car. That baby???s
crying bothered me at it did everybody else.
Turning around I saw the young woman take
a nursing bottle out ofa buket, then a small
earthenware jug, and uncorked It. It was
<hll el milk, and the began to fill the nursing
> of milk fell on her hand and
" ???What on earth thall I dol I heard her
???ay. ???The milk Is as sonr as vinegar and will
kill the child,??? and the began to cry again,
cot loud like the baby, but the tears just
streamed down her pale cheeks. Then Hiram
B. Btebbins shook himself np and leaned for
ward and said to the young woman kind ol
cross likei
??? ???Your infant, ma'am t *
??? ???Oh, ne, tir. It waa my poor slater's, and
aha died a week ago???died of a broken heart
because her husband, tbit little baby???s father,
was killed on a railroad a few days before baby
wts born. It???s a delicate child and half
Starved, and the hot weather has turned the
milk sour. What am I to dot I am trying to
carry the poor little child some hundred miles
further on to my mother, and if I can???t feed it it
will die before I get to the end of mi
ft???s to feeble now.??? Then she tobl
and the baby sobbed, too.
???Hiram B. Btebbins didn???t say anything for
ftally aminute; then be got np and came to
me, and said he, ???Family manf??? I told him
I wasn???t. Then he sat down and fidgeted;
then he got up suddenly, looked around him,
and went into the next car. He passed through
our car and then through the whole train. By
and by he came beck and said he, ???Hot a
darned one on the train.???
??? ???Hot a whatf??? I inquired.
'???A woman nnning her baby. Generally
they areeyerso plenty, just when you don???t
want 'em.*
??????And yon would have asked a strange
women you nover taw before???to???to???nurse
that child?" I asked astonished.
??? ???Why should I not???? said Stenbinasimply.
??? ???Then the conductor came and Bill wont
for him at once. ???When docs the train stop???
the first place, I mean???? atkad Btebbins.
??????Thirty-eight miles from here.'
??????What kina of a plaoe???? asked Btebbins.
'Any refreshments????
?? ???Hone; not a bar even. Wood and water.???
??? ???Ho chance ot milk????
??? ???Hary chance.???
??? 'Any milk east on this train?'
??????Hot one???
??? <But then???s a baby on board this train
that wants milk.???
??? ???Tbit ain???t no baby nor milk train as I
knows of.??? said that conductor indllfsratly.
??? ???You???re a blutcd heathen anyhow,??? crlol
Bill. 'This train has got to stop, for I am
bound to get some milk lor that baby.???
??? ???Hot much. Behind time now, and hadn???t
you hotter heap a civil tongue In your Jaws?
Otherwise you're likely to get them jaws broke
and likewise put off the cart.*
???The talk of the two was so loud and threat
ening that tome of the paesengora heaid it.
Jumping upon one of the seats,
Hiram addressed the passengers!
???Ladies and gentlemen,' said he, 'but
moat especially ladles, I want your kind
attention. On this train???in this car???there it a
little baby whose mother is just dead. That
baby Is going to perish right before your eyes
for the want ol a drop of milk. Hera is a
conductor that won???t stop this train to at to
save the Ufa of that poor little child. I put it
to you???shall this train atop so that I can get
some milk, or are you willing that the baby
should die, all on aocount ol a lunk-htad of a
conductor????
?????By jabertl O'ima wld yon and the young
wemtn ivory toime,* said a big Irishman.
??? ???Datls Joes to,'chimed in a German. Then
all the women joined In a chorus, and cried:
???Bhamel shame!???
??? ???But,??? said the oondnetor, somewhat scared
at the storm he had raised, ???there isn???t any
milk at the next stopping place???nor at the
next station, neither.???
??? ???Can't you stop at tome farmhouse then?'
asked Ufram.
??? ???There isn???t a house along the line ot road
fer the next It miles.???
??? ???There mnst he eows somewhere???in the
pastures,??? insisted Hiram B. Btebbins
??? 'And who's to milk them, providing we
ace any?'asked the conductor, scratching his
SlCtde
??? ???Is there any lady In this ear that can
milk ajMWf* inquired Hiram. Ho one re
sponding, it seemed likely that no milkmaid
??? ??? Well. I can milk a cow,??? said Hiram. <1
milked a herd or ???em JS years ago, and am
not aahamed of ft. How, Ur. Conductor, that
C i seem more amenable to reason, you will
ms go forward, and when I spot a cow the
engineer has got to stop the tram, tor I am
bound to find some milk for that baby.*
??????Ob, the dear, thoughtfal man I??? slid all
tba women, and ???Bally for you I??? cried the
men.
???Btebbins west forward and took his place
at the s ngine and I followed him. Cows were
octree in that prairie region. Bteera there
were in plenty, end horses, but no cows.
Sometimes the train would alack ne for a
moment, as some cattle were teen in the dis
tance. bnt they wen not of the mtlksble kind.
A half hour passed, when away ofi, across tome
fences a hair mile distant, a reel true for true
cow wts teen quietly grating. Bhe wu a red
cow,jeet that eolorsaTd to give the sweetest
milk. Hiram???s quick eye had sighted her at
once. He made a morion to atop the train,
end we downed brakes, without whittling, for
we wrre afraid to frighten ofi that cow. One
of the krakemen had a tin butter kettle, and
that bad been erovre 1 clean, and ol started
Hiram on the lull run.
???For a strange man to get to close quarters
with a strange cow is no easy metier. Hiram
B. Wts evidently e master of tbesrtofoev
corralling- At first the cow seemed to avoid
Hiram. Bhe turned and doubled, and we
were afraid he would lose her. We eotld all
see the cow stalking from the cen, and the
excitement seat intense. Hiram B. managed
things beautifully. Maybe she was a kind of
providential cow. He wee bold, yet
conciliatory, At last Hiram, alter
a quarter of an beer???s bard work, cornered the
cow. What if the were dry? He; the wasn't.
There wu Hiram B. on bit knees, working
our handkerchiefs to him and the cow. At
last beseemed to have drained the cow dry.
There were fences to climb and tome of them
barbed wire ones. What if Hiram should drop
his butter kettle or spill its precious contents?
Finally he reached the cart, tnd never
was a hero more warmly greeted; even
the conductor wu plssaant to him. The men
hollowed themselves hosier, and some of the
women cried, they were that excited. One old
lady just smothered Hiram B- Btobbius with
her kisses. Anyhow that poor baby got hit
fill of good sweet, fresh milk, stepped crying,
and cams through safe."
???Ho sequel???? asked tome of the listeners.
???Hot that I know of. Hiram didn't marry
the pretty girl who was taking care of the baby.
I met him three weeks ago going north from
Atlanta. He was stilt traveling in toathera and
wemen???a fixings. He gave me a kind ot surly
nod???the oddest old rough diamond you ever
???sheered up.???"
Good Stories ef the Present Day.
She Sioux Was Bnjoyisg Himself.
From the Hew York gun.
I had built a small fire fn a secluded spot
among the hills, and was touting a bit of
meat on the end ofa stick. I hadn???t seen
signs ot a redskin for two days, and felt at tale
at if in my own home. All of a sudden I felt
the presence ot somebody. I hadn???t heard
any suspicious sounds, nor had my eyes do
te cted ???signs,?????? but I just felt the danger that
menaced me from behind. It came like a
flash, end before I could tun my head the
peak of the mountain five miles away fell
over upon me. Bo It seemed to me at the in
stant, but when I opened my eyes again, per
haps three or four minutes later, the moun
tain wu all right and firm on its pins.
I was the one who wu all wrong. A rede
skin, hideously decked and daubed, had crept
upon me end struck me over the head with
the flat of his tomahawk. While I wu un
conscious from the blow, he dragged me to a
stunted nine, luhed my body to the tree, and
then pulled my arms back each side of it and
tied ???em together at the wrist.
While my thoughts were slowly coming
back he stood and surveyed me, hit face wear
ing something of a grin. He had done a pretty
smart thing, and it wu only natural that he
ified up with conceit. I
out to my own satlsfution
yet, when he turned to the lire and coolly pro-
needed to help himssli to my provisions. It
took him half an hour to satisfy his appetite,
and be then went through my puk. The
rough maps, drawings, and notes ha burned
up, u alto my stock of simple medicines, but
or all else be made a neat puksge and laid it
vide. Ha had a Winchester, but no revolver
I had a Winchester and two revolvers. While,
no doubt, pleated to secure the rifle he wu
immensely tickled with the revolvers, and I
was plain that he knew how to use them.
The arms were laid with the bundle, his
own rifle added to the pile, and then ho wu
ready to attend to my cue. By this time I
had solved bis problem. He wu a scout from
st me body of Indians in the neighborhood,
and be would carry me in u his prisoner. 1
was wondering if there would be any show to
escape, when he came and utdown fn front
oime. I could leeat a glance that ha wajast
boiling over with euetednete. When a man
throogh looking a mad dog In the eyas be
wants to experiment on an Indian warrior.
That ???buck" had eyes like a wounded tiger,
and my flesh crawled at be ut there and
looked me over. I wasn???t over a minute mek-

ing up my mind that I wasn't going away
a prisoner. The spoils of camp, to which
.. ??? ??? eoip, would satisfy him. That
to torture
would add my seal
devil was going to torture me, and I knew it
even before he had made a movel Such In
fernal premeditations and self satisfaction you
never saw in a face.
I had on high-legged boots. He jerked
them off, one after another, and then pulled
oil my socks. I knew what wu coming. Ho
had the whole afternoon before him, and he
_j going to begin on the soles of my loot.
Up to thia time poither of us had spoken, but
1 cow determined to give him a blast. I wu
a hundred milea away from any white man,
utterly helpless, and wu certain to die any
way. I preferred a stroke of the
tomahawk to death by Inehu.
???Sea here,you long-legged, paint-bedaubed,
cowardly cur, you daren't touch met" I
yelled.
???We seel??? ho replied.
???See and be hanged I Let me loose and I'll
fight your whole tribal Yon are a nation of
cowards! A Sioux will run from a woman I
Bab I Yon curl???
It didn't move him. I called him names,
reviled the memories of his ancestors, I
waded into bis father, mother, brothers and
sisters. I reviled and abated his own char
acter and t tending. All thia time he was
ring a dry, l
never even lnokod np.

He bad Jabbed tbe sharpened stick into the
sole of my look 11 went In halt an inch, and
came out covered with blood, and he grinned
like a monkfv. Blowly and deliberately he
jabbed that sriek into my foot ten times. It
wu no uss to try and keep silence. The pain
was horrible, but it wu leuened somewhat by
the excitement ol abusing him.
???I make white man cry new," he said, u he
flung away the stick es he

plsued him to hear it, and be burned my
foot about twenty timu before he cessed op
erations. I wondered what next u he pat
aown the fire; hut I wu not to be left In
doubt more than a minute.
???How white man will laugh!" he ehnekled
u he rose np.
Out camellia hunting-knife, and he tested
the edge on his thumb nail. Then be bent
over me, seised the rim of my
left ear with his fingers,
and was about to slice that ornament off my
brad, when he suddenly tell backward, and I
heard the crack otn rifle. The buck wu an
bis fret like neat, looking Into the thleket
back of me, and still bolding the knife tn hit
hand, and it seemed s long minute before I
I caught the cruh of footsteps and the shoot t

A big giant ol a trapper sprang pul
knife in hand, and the Sioux stood tor
The fight wu now before my ayes, and only a
taw feet away. There were the rifles and re-
volvers in plain sight, but neither man
turned to see of think ot them. It was a
square stand up fight with knivu, and a her-
rible thing it was. I hoped to disconcert the
Indian and encourage the white man by
shouts, but it is doubtful if either heard me.
Up and down and acrou and around they
fongbt, both stabbing and slashing, but
neither speaking. It wu over in five min
utes, thongb It teemed half on hour to me.
The buck suddenly threw up bis hands and
went down, and the trapper twisted ofi hit
scalp before yon could count twenty. Then,
be came over to me and cut the cords. He
had hardly accomplished this before he sank
down. I crawled up to him and began to
wine the blood from a terrible cut fa the
shoulder; but hit face grew white, his eyu
closed, and be ball shouted t
???He???s whiped me out! Waugbl??? .
He wu dead next moment. He had six
teen cuts and alubet on his body, and that
buck bad over twenty.

Friday noon. Boon aftorroicbiag LakeSupe-
rlor, wind began to freaben np from the north

along the northern horlson denoted the ap
proach of heavy weather. Realising, however,
that tho Algoma wu one of the strongest and
moat powerful steamers afloat, and woll able
lo cope with even n severe gale, Captain

ef the fiercest and most destructive gales svar

while the tempost screeched and howled, the
seu swept completely over the struggling
stumer. The situation wu mido all the
more tsrriblo by the blinding snow storm that
set in before morning. It wu Impossible to
see the length of tho steamer. The pusengan
end erew were terrified beyond meuure, and
momentarily axpsoted to see tho eteamor
plunge to the bottom. By the Instructions of
Captain Moore, tho officers circulated among
tho passengers, trying to allay thair bars.
They wars ptaie stricken, however, .and
huddled together In the cebin where the
screams and prayers of the women and
children could be heard over tho thunder ol
tbe gate. Saturday morning Isle Royal wu
sighted, and Captain Moor.hudad tb. steam

shelter. The island forma a natural harbor ol
refuge, but tho .ntranc. th.r?? it a aingoroqt

"We an on the ruf," replied the oaptaln,

I trust til wlU ba ulsly landed.???
Jut thnn one of the erew reported that the

Tba boats were at once got in readlnut, and
all started to leave Ihe steamer, bnt jut u
they were about to lower them, the steamer

angry roar. Tho water wu covered with tho
straggling forms of man and women, and than
all wu over???only fourteen lived to tell the
tale. These get Into one of the beats, bnt
worn powerless to save themselves, si they
were without oars. Captain Moire, however,
wrenched the foot board from the bottom of
tho boat, and with this paddia proceeded to
working the boat to the island where the sur
vivors were picked up by the Arthabuea.
