While r.waiting tbo nrrivol of Ibo western-
bcui-d train a few day* ago on the platform of
the little dej ol In Toyah, Texas, n man of
apletidid phyalque, rnrelef-sly drosso'l, armed

ing. This horsfiimn was ???Wild Frank*
Tower, an old friend nnd fellow scout and one
of the best-knowi), honest, most reckless, dare
devil rangers on the southwestern frontier
Tower was born in Iowa, and when ho cam??
to Texas fifteen years ago was a boy of seven
teen. llo found employment at a cow-rancho
on the Pecos river nnd the wild, rough life ho
led in camp and on the trail hardened his
muscles, steadied liis nerves and developed all
of those courageous qualities which distinguish
the frontiersman. He became a superb horse
man and wonderfully skilled in the use of the
aix-shooter and Winchester. The ranebe ad
joining the one where he was employed was
owned by a man named Flanigan, a Jiot-lcm-
ptred, brutal fellow, brave as a lion nud the
hero of many scrapes in which firearms had
played on important part. He had killed
several men and was feared nnd respected
accordingly. Wild Frank met Flanigan at a
???round up." They became iavoivod in n
quarrel over the ownership of n cow. Tower
was cool and polite, but as firm in the main
tenance of his rights ns adamant. Flanigan,
???reustomed to ride down all opposition, ap
plied an insulting epithet to the boy who
dared to dispute with him nud, seizing his
heavy riding- whip, sprang toward him.
???I'll aive ye a hundred lashes, yu spindle-
r-hmkcu puppy," he hissed.
THItARIIINO A BVI.I.Y.
The cow-boys glanced at each other appre
hensively nnu Frank's friends, not daring to
interfere, to much did they f ar Flanigan,
trembled for their companion???s safety. The
object of the bully???s wrath faced the ruffian
coolly.
???Don???t touch me!" he cried wnrningly, but
Flanigan, with a bitter oath, sprang upon the
lx>v and setting him by the collar was about
to ad m in later the threatened rlmstisemont.
Accounts ditler as to how it all occurred.
The/e was a chorus of curses nnd loud crlci, a
.fierce struggle, the on-looker* heard tbo
awi b-??wi*h of the runrtc, and, through the
cloud of durt which enveloped the combatants,
aaw Flanigan writhing on the ground, while
Frank, wielding the whip with n quick nnd
heavy Laid, rained blow afl< r blow' on the
bully's load and taco. The nhfiro lash cut
the firth like ????? knife and the blood streamed
from many woundi, and, mixing with the
choking dust, blinded the prodrato man???s
tyit. Several tltnt* he tnd^avevcd to regain
Lis feet, but he never succeeded, and when nt
last, weak from pain and loss of blood, he
fainted, Wild Frank throw the Moody whip to
the ground nnd, mounting his horse, rode
away. The whole affair had been so Buddon
and unexpected and had resulted so different-
ly from wliat the spectators imagined that the
boy had disappeared bohindn roll in the plain
before the astonished cow-boys recovered their
semes. They raised tho uneouseloun bully tip,
washed away tho blood nnd poured xvtiisky
dow n his throat, llo recovered sufficiently to
be assisted back to bis rancho, and when a
wcclc later ho was able to leave hit tied he
swore ft big oath and vowed to have Wild
Frank's life. Intelligence of Flanigan's pur
port was brought to Frank. Ho made no
counter-threat, hut thore tvosn peculiar gleam
in his eyes which led his informant to believe
that tho boy would be roady. About two weeks
later, at another rancho, the two again mot.
Beth were ?? ounted. and drawing his Win
Chester fr< m itn scabbard Frank spurred hii
horse toward the bully nnd shouted;
???Look out, Flanigan!"
??? A mi?? l. OX HORSRtlACR,
The rRnrheuinn raised his rifle, with a wick
ed light in his small gray eyes. Both fired nt
the eatno time and, still pressing forward,
discharged their Winchesters in rapid suc
cession. Flanigan pitched from hfs saddle
with three bullets in his body nnd, satisfied
that hi* enemy wn*dead, Wild Frank rod?? to
the nearest rungcr eniiip and surrendered to
the commanding officer. I???ublic opinion on
the frontier has a great influence in a court of
law end Wild Frank was acquitted. Tho
ranger captain hud taken a fancy to tho boy
and lie urged him to tacom?? a scout. Accord
ingly he enlisted in B company, of tho front
ier battnlion, and reiuniueu in tho command
several years, it was a company of bravo men,
but none were braver than Wild Frank. With
a perfect dit regard for his own safety lie wns
always in tho trout when dangerous work was
to le done nnd many times risked his lilo in
defer.ms ot u tvllow scout. Oqo morning Cap-
tmu dune l'rake, the ranger commander,
informed his meit at roll-call that ho had a
}*ack??g?? of important papers which ho wished
to send to fiergeant Floyd, who was in com
mand of a detachment of th'e scouts stationed
1H?? miles distant, on the edge of tho Crest
Prison plain. The country was full of ludinns
nnd the mission was a dangerous one. The
captain asked tor a volunteer to mnko tho
hsxnrdeus ride and deliver the papers.
???I???m your man, raptnin," quickly answered
Wild Frank, a* he stepped from tho rauks.
???When shall I start???????
???ItunudinUly,??? wns the answer; and when,
i n hour lafor, in?? scout rode out of entnp his
companions bade him ndios with saddeoed

A dark object was soon sighted moving
across the plateau towards the peak. As it
approached it proved to be a real, live bear.

It was decided to go threo miles down the
mountain that evening by moonlight. There
two huge rock? had fallen together, forming a
rude cave, shallow and very wide at the en

the opening and otter n late supper three very

MEN WHO LIVE IN TREES
Th# Ir Lives nnd Custom???What They Do,
???I am fully prepared to swallow tho whole
story except the punches in the month," said
ft gentleman, a few days ago, to
whom Vrefesior George G. Shelby, anthonolo-
gist and member of the geographical society,
was recounting the story of the capture of a
hairy family, clearly human, but bearing
many strong resemblances to the onthopoia
ape#, which wero secured by himself end the
well known explorer, C???arl liock, ui tod by
???onto r.rtiv- soldier*, in the wilds cf Laos iu
this year lS-??2.
???There are," ??aid the professor, ???three dis
tinct races4*f men who live in trees. Tl^ro
nre Indians iu South America, who inhabit
the borders cf tho Orinoco, Tucuya nndJMi. iera

Monick of Laos, a dependency of Siam. K rao-
Monoik means man-monkey. I.acs is part ot
the world which has never been thoroughly
explored aud hut comparatively little is
known about it by goograpner* and??? scientist*.
It contains from MM to 1 ,????00 square miles and
lies between the fiflceutb and twcutieth de
grees of north latitude, north of Siam, ea*t of
tne Mcr.am-Khong, west of Annam, and
about 100 miles southwest of Tonquin. The
rearm why Lno? has not been thoroughly ox*
p!t*rcd is because almost every one who ha?
attempted it has died of malarial fever. That
po:t ot tho country In y jil. U the Rra* lives is
very swampy, it inhabited only by the men
who live in trees and by elephants on-l snakop.
Ihe pco{??!e live in trees to escap?? the snakes
and the wot ground. They weave the branches
of two trees together and build huts therein.
Iu climbing the trees they U'C their foes as a
monkey does. They dq not grasp the tree
with their legs, os we do. They *Y?? not use
fire. They live on dried fish, wild rieo nnd
the rind ol tho grn n cocoauut. Their only
weapon is 0 club.
"Teu years ogo Carl Bock, the author of
The Man Hunter* of Borneo??? and ??? My Travels

of Mr. Forint, the English Barnum, to look
for the tall people watch were said to live
there. In the court of th?? king of Burmah he
saw and talked with a hairy family, which
was kept by th?? king lor his amusement ns
European kings formerly kept fools and
dwarfs. Pock tried in every way to secure
them to take to Euro??*e, but he failed. He
offered lloo.fto*? f r oi!e of them, but money is

pi.ro. We went up the Straits of NIalaccx and
made an expedition into Bumbo, in the Malay
Pcmrruls, where it reported that a hairy
race lived called Jactoons, but wr?? did n.*t
find them. We then went to Ben goon and
there?? to Bergk??k, the capital of Siam. Book

Tber are wondci fully alert, their scent is
inariably keen and they are very shy ond
timid. Wo saw many ol their huts built up
in the branches of trees before we taw a per
son. At last we surprised and surrounded a
family, a men, wife nud child, at their meat.
We made a dash for them aud captured them.
The Parent* made little resistance, but the
cbila foaght, scratched and bit like a mon
key. None of them were clothed in anything
hut hair. We took them lo Kjang-Kjang ftv.il
there the king refused to allow the* woman
to go out of tho country. He had a supersti
tion that it would bring him bad luck. *he
was kept in his court ond treated with high
consideration. She appeared to have little
a flection for the child end made no opposition
to its being taken from her. We started for
Bangkok with the father and child. At a
??lopping place rolled Ghieng-May the whole
parly was attacked with cholera. The hairy
inch we had captured and three of the escort
died. The rest recovered, though Mr. Bock

the child now known-as Krao. We know bv

clothes.
?? be is modest, affectionate, playful and
easily managed. Every port of her body is
covered with hair except her palms aud -dies.
The hoir on her forearm grov.i upward, that
on her back grows inward toward the .-pine,
and will form a sort of mane, as her lather
and mother had, when she grows older. Her ,
forehead is covered with thick, black hair,
about tbrec-cigbths of an inch long. The hair
of her forehead is entirely distinct from the
hair on her he; d. Her hands and foot, though
entirely human in shape, have the prehenstio
qualities 0: :??? monkey???s hand, bho ha3 thir
teen doi.-.d vertebrae and thir.een pairs of
bs, lithe chimpanzee, while wo have only
twelve. And ??ho has pouches in her mouth in
which she carries nuts and other food like tho
apts.
At this point the visitor mado tho remark
which stands nt the beginning of this nrtielc.
Professor Shelly disappeared for n moment
and returned with the child. Tho pouches in
the mouth were there, and in each oneof them
was a filbert almost as big as a hickory nut,
and oil that tbo professor had said about her
was proved true. Sho talked intelligently and
wrote her own name and tho visitor's nnrno
tbo back of n photograph of herself, which
she presented to her caller. She ha?? been ex
amiued by Professor Virchow, of Berlin Uni
varsity; Professor Kirckoff nnd Professor
Welcuer, of Halle University; Professor
Kncckel, of Jena; Professor Lucac, cf Frank

Polish Nobleman Say??, Who Was
Fifteen Years In Prison.
There is or wns until lately (in 1871)
Polish lady, the countess of IC , living
in the city of Tori?. Sho wears & very singular
brooch. It is encircled by twenty precious
atone*, on a ground of dark blue enamel, cov
ered in tho centre by glass. And what docs
this brooch contain 7 A portrait ofa lock of
hair? No, only four common pins, bent to
gether in the form of a ??tar. And ??ho wears
this in memory of her husband, a Polish no
bleman, who was put into prison bocauso ho
wesiliought to bo a secrot enemy to tho gov
ernment. It was a dark, deon dungeon far
down under the ground. He had no one to
speak to. for no ono was allowed to see him
but tho keeper of the prison, and ho of courso
wns not permitted to converse with his pris
oner. Pays, weeks, months passed on, and ho
wr.s still left in his dungeon. lie was most
miserable nnd feared that ho should lose his
??on?cs,for his reason seemed to bo giving way.
Oh! if he had only some hope???someone thing
to relieve his misery. Feeling nil over his
coat one day he found four pins, and he ac
tually wept for joy; yet what could four pins
bo to him ? He took them from his coat and
threw them down on the floor of his dungeon,
and then ho went down ou his hands and
knees and felt nil ox-er tho floor till ho found
them again. When ho had ??uceeoded in this
ho scattered thorn again on tho floor, and could
have gone into his dungeon you would
t> found him groping on his haodi nnd
knees lor his four pin*. When, after six year*
imprisonment, he was set free, thoy still found
him groping in tho dark for his four pins. It
was oil ids xrork. Nor would ho leax'o his
rri*on without tnkiug bis pins with him.
Thoy xvero his best fricuds, becaus?? they had
given him something to do in bis solitude and
confinement, and his counter had them made
into a brooch which* ??he valued more than
gold. They had preserved her husband???s rea-
n.
Tho following i* ono of tho most affecting
records ir* existence. It is from Count Gonfa-
nlcri???* account o! his imprisonment in tho
tr??fs of Spielberg, above th?? town of Brunn,
Moravia, for a political offense in tho reign
of tho Emm-ror Frauds of Austria, who died
1835. lie was nn Italian nud had conspired
disposes* tho Austrians at Milun: ???i am
n old man now, hut by fifteon years my soul
.1 younger than my b-xly! Fifto-n years I ex
isted (for I did not hvo, it wes uot???Htel iu th??
self-same dungeon, ten feet square.??? During
six years 1 hod a companion: during nine I
wns alone! I never rightly jMistingui*Uod tho
face of him xvhoshnrod Jmy captivity in *he
cterr.ol twilight ot our cell* The flr-t y*nr \v??
talked incessantly together. Wo relate l our
past lives, our joys forever gone, over and over
ogniu.. Tho next year wo comtumunicuted to
each other our thoughts and ideas ou all sub
jects. The third year we had no ideas to com
municate???wo were beginning to lose th??
power of reflection. Tho fourth, at the inter
val of a tno;;th or so, we would op**i, *??ur lips
to ask each other if it wero indeed poyslbf??
that the world went on as gay nnd bustling ns
hen we formed a portiou of mankind. The
. fth, we xvero silent. Tho sixth, ho was taken
awnj ??? I never knew xvhoro???to execution, to
liberty???buVI was glad li?? was gone; evoti sol
itude???were better than that dim, x'acaut foe??.
After that 1 xvas alone. Only ono event broke
in upon my nincycara misery. Ouo day???it
must have*been a year or two after my com
panion U fl tne???the dungeon door waa opened
and a voice, from whom proceeding I know
not. uttered these words: ???By order of his
Imperial Majesty, I intimate to you that your
wil?? died n Vear ago.* Thou the door shut
oud I heard V.o more. They bed but fluag
this great r.gor.y iu upon me, and left me
alone with it." ??? _
The companion for six jfears wttn Count
Gonfaloniett was a Frenchman, (fount An-
???dryana, who has since published some me
moirs of his own life (???Memoir??* d???uu Pris??n-
fcier d???EUt, par Comte Alexander An dry-
r.ne.") He mentions that Count Gonfahmieri
was liberated st the emperor???s death in 1>S5.
aud sent to the United States, from whence ho
returned fo Austria. There, broken down by
sorrow nud suffering, he xvondered about for a
few rears, and died at Criso, pied d?? St.
GotbnrJ, December, He wrote fo hi?
friend Count Auuryan?? from New York;
???Qu???ll etait com me I???ombre d???un trepas#??, er-
ront sur la terre ctranger oux*jo!es, aux agita

cident that for a time Count Gonfalonleri wj*t
allowed to receive letter?? from hi?? wife, nnd
when she wa* dying ??he wrote several letters,
