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.

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.

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.

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!

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 ???Dura a gun that will go back en a man In Umu like thisl Here???s tor yer, Sioux, with your own weepinsl???^| 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. A Business Han???s Oplnloa.
