be dropped full length on the ground in time
TO escape the other two which came in rapid
succession. He lay still, brought his rifle
into position, as he was stretched upon the
ground, and then remained mmovable. Pres.
emily he saw diminutive figure which he
knew to be Bill (who was nearly one inch
taller than Goldie) advancing cautiously from
the shelter of the tree. Quickly taking aim
he fired twice in succession and then retired
behind the sheltering trunk. One of the bull
lets, he afterward discovered, had passed
through the lobe of Bills left ear. There was
cessation now of firing for some time, when
Goldie espied his opponents head and shoul-
ders exposed. Quick as lightning his rifle
was at his shoulder, and the detonating report
was heard Bloody Bills hat was carried
away by the bullet. Goldie now rather iR-
cautiously advanced from his shelter and be-.
came the target for six balls in rotation, one
of which made hole in his coat-sleeve and
another his pants. He beat basty retreat.
The duelists remained gazing at the distant
trees, each watching for the indistinct form
which represented his adversary. Each peered
cautiously from behind the tree, endeavoring
to get sight of each other. Goldie at last saw
Bill again advance, and the former stepped
rapidly to the front and quickly brought
his rife into position. Almost simultaneous
ly the clear, sharp report of two rifles rang on
the air, and both men fell. Goldie managed
to raise himself and crawl behind the trunk
of the tree. He had been wounded in the
left shoulder. Presently he was joined by
the Texans, who had been witnesses of this
most exciting duel. They had already rid
den over to Bloody Bill and found him dead.
A bullet had penetrated his temple.

CORRESPONDENCE BY "HA1R L1NE."-Not
long ago capillary correspondence was at
tempted between a noted Partisan thief in
durance vile and his comrades outside The
prisoner was sent letter from his intended
bride, containing merely lock of hair,
wrapped in the leaf of book. The jailer
did not consider the souvenirimportant enough
to be delivered, but few days after came a
similar enclosure, and yet another. This
aroused suspicion and the Governor took the
matter in hand. He examined the leaf of
the book. It was only that Of common
novel, twenty-six lines on page. Then he
studied the hair and noticed the small guam
tity of the gift. Counting the hairs, he found
them of unequal length, and twenty-six in
number, the same as the lines Of the page.
Struck with the coincidence, he laid the hairs
along the lines of the page which they respec,
lively reached, beginning at the top with the
smallest hair. After some trouble, he found
that the end of each hair pointed to differ
ent letter, and that these letters combined,
formed slang sentence which informed the
prisoner that bis friends were on the watch,
and that the next time he left the prison to be
examined an attempt would be made to res
cue him. The Governor laid his plans accor-
dinghy the attempt was made, but the res.
cuers fell into their own trap. There is moth
ing in all of fVidocqs memoirs so ingenious as
this device.

that others have been bit, and to pretty tidy

spector John Tricklet. There's no such party
connected with this station. They've carried

nothing else; they prey on their kind as best
they may. But this is poor talk, Mr. Filby.
Let me assure you, to be serious, that all that
can be done shall be done. But what can we
do? What can Scotland Yard do? They
can only issue caution to tradesmen gener-
ally, and put the matter in the Hue and Try,
which probably won't amount to much. And
between you and me, Mr.. Filby, I've repeat.
edly thou ght (and very seriously, too,) that
they've got some of our fellows in their pay !;

good day, and hied me to my shop and count

my hitherto clear brain had gotten supera:
bundance of mud in it. I felt that could
tear my hair and beat my breast, and yell
out that was profoundly miserable. m
"But why dwell upon the matter: The
story is told. Suffice it, then, for your behoof

trio light seemed much softer. A continuous
view of it for three minutes did not pain the
eye, whereas looking at the gas for the same
length of time caused some little pain and
confusion of sight. The exhibitor next exhib
tied the light turned down low. 1t gave q
mild illumination.
One of the noticeable features of the light
when fully turned on, was that all colors could
be distinguished as readily as by sunlight.
"When do you expect to have the inveu
ton completed, Mr. Edison ?" asked the re.
porter.
"The substance of it is all right now," be
answered, putting the apparatus away and
turning on the gas "but there are the usual
little details that must be attended to be-
fore it goes to the public. For instance, we
have got to devise some arrangement for reg
istering-a sort of meter; and again there
are several different forms that we are expe.
rimenting on now in order to select the best p
care the lights to be all Of the same de-
gree of briliancy~
Call the same"
"Have you run across any serious diaicul.
ties in it as yet2
swell, no." replied the inventor, "and
that's what worries me, for in the telephone, ]
found about thousand obstacles, and so in
the quadruplex. worked on both over two
years before I overcame:them."
Mr. Bachelor, the professors assistant, who
here Joined in the conversation, said, "Many
a time Mr.. Edison sat down almost on the
point of giving up the telephone as a lost job,
but at the last moment he would see light"
THE SIMPLEST OF ALL.
"Of all the things that we have discovered,
this is about the simplest" contiued Mr.. Edi.
son, "and the public will say 80 when it is ex.
planned. We have got it pretty we'll ad-
vanced now, but there are some few improve.
ments I have in my mind. You see it's got
to be 80 fixed that it can't get out Of order.
Suppose where one light only is employ.
ed, it got out of order once year, where two
were used it would get out Of order twice a
year, and where thousand were used, you
can see that it would be much trouble in look.
ing after them. Therefore, when the light
leaves the laboratory, l wantitto be in such a
shape that it cannot get out of order at all,
except, of course, by some accident"
Leaving Mr.. Edison to continue his work,
the reporter accepted the invitation of Mr..
Grifsn, his private secretary, to view the
generating machine
"Mr Edison has just purchased new one,
he said, (which gives much more power, and
in few days we will have fifty horse pow.
er engine to work it, as we don't get power
enough with the present one. As regards the
generators" continued Mr.. Griffen, "Mr. Ed
ison has as yet given but little attention to
them. The cost can, by an improved genera
tor, be reduced to much smaller figure"

A PRAIRIE DUEL.

A TERRIBLE TEST OF MARKsMANsHIP.
Some FIVE years ago Adam Goldie left bis
native county of Shannon, NO., where he is
engaged in cattle raising, for Northern Texas,
where he passed two years, and there one OF
the most exciting incidents Of his career hap
pened. His fame as marksman among
the Texans soon became notorious. In the
vicinity of Goldie's rancho lived William
Darrell, or, as he was familiarly termed,
Bloody Bill. This Bloody Bill was noted
rufian and desperate. His feats in marks.
manship we're likewise astounding, and proba.
bly no man in the Lone Star State excelled
him in handling the rifle. He became jealous
of Goldie's fame, and managed to pick quar-
rel with him, which resulted in challenge.
After short consultation they decided that
a duel should be fought, but in consequence
of the extraordinary skill of the parties, at a
long. g..distance.
On the open prairie, about two miles dis
tant grew two post oak trees. They were
four hundred and twenty yards apart, and
the only trees on that spot. All around was
open, timberless prairie. 1t was decided that
Goldie and Bill should both take their rifles
and each take up position behind their re-
spective trees, and then blaze away at each
other. The Texans hoped by this means to
prevent bloodshed, or at least to prevent ia
Ial termination of the duel. The prelimina.
ries being settled, the whole party mounted
their horses and rode out on the prairie to the
selected spot. Goldie took up his position
behind one of the trees, and Bill ensconced
himself behind the other. The remaining
party ofthe crowd then rode to slight undu-
lating eminence to the right, where they we're
to remain as spectators. One of them was to
give the signal for the beginning of the COM
bat by firing his rifle in the air, and the re-
port was to be the signal to the duelists to be.
gin with their bloody work. Goldie waited
anxiously the detonatiou Of the rifle, which
suddenly sounded on the air.
Then began the duel at the longest range
ever recorded. Goldie advanced from be.
hind the tree in a kneeling posture, when,
whiz his sombrero was perforated by ball
from Bloody Bills rife. Quick as lightning
