Romantic.

Among those who drifted hither in SO,
during the Pixies Peak excitement, and
who have remained as hunters or pros
pectors, is Moccasin Bill, still living in
his cabin in the Sangre de Cristo mount
aims. At the age of so years this man is
as straight and active as at 20, and when
he mingles with the other men-a rare
occurrence-he towers above them like q
giant among lilliputians. His long hair
falls over his shoulders and descends
nearly to his waist in natural curls, now
slightly tinged with gray, while beard
that has known no razor for nearly
thirty years sweeps his breast. Many
years ago he established hunting camp
in the Gunnison country. living ex
cavated q hole in the side of hill, he
was prepared to pass the winter
and brave the perils of that season of the
year. He located q series of traps,
and daily he plodded through the snow
to secure any animals that might have
been captured and to replenish his lar
der by bringing down such game as
might be obtainable. As the winter ad-
vanced the snow became deeper and
spread over the mountains and valleys to
the depth of many feet.
While making his daily round one day
and while staggering along with bnn-
die of furs on his back and his
rife ON his shoulder, he heard cry,
faint and weak, yet still . call for help.
With true frontier courage he responded
to the appeal, and ere long found half
buried in the snow and nearly persisted
an Indian. With infinite difficulty he
conveyed the savage to his cabin, and
there nourishsd him back to strength.
This Indian had secreted himself upon
the trail Of the hunter with the avowed
purpose of killing him. but had sue
cumbed to the cold and was rescued by
the man whom he had sought to slay.
Before leaving his benefactor he un-
bossomed himself, and while relating his
story pleaded for pardon. HIS bene-
factor knew full we'll the object the one
he had rescued had in view, but had
nobly saved him from Q horrible fate.
The savage and would-be murderer de-
parted from the cabin Of his benefactor
With . changed heart, and returned to
his tribe, where be related his adventure.
From that day the hunter was hon0red
by the Indians, and many days were
spent in their wigwams by Tie one
when they sought 70 destroy. His traps

His teeth q. mly set, his face was almost
purple from his exertions, and the sweat
streaming from every pore. A single root
of the little tree hung in q little seam at
the top of the rock, it was all
that held. seized it firmly with
my right hand, and placed my
knee on the top of the rock. The sus-
pended sapling swayed to and fro below
me, the root parted with sharp crack,
and it dropped into the dark abyss.
The sudden jerk, as my knee slipped
from the rock, came near pulling the
boys over after me, but they managed to
hold their positions. and in q moment
more lay upon the rock above safe and
free from danger. though more dead
than alive.
The strain upon my nerves had been
so great that nearly tainted when the
excitement of the moment was over, and
for some minutes could not stand upon
my feet. Ny strength soon returned,
however, and in o little over half an
hour we set ont for home. Ny wrist

had been drawn around the muscles, and

The Ra2or-Back Hog.

To the traveller through Texas one
OF the strang"st and most peculiar
features of the landscap is the razor.
back hog. He is of the Swiss cottage
style of architecture. His physical
outline is angular to degree un-
known outside Of text book on the
science Of geometry. His ears--or the
few rags and tatters of them that the
dogs have left. are curled back with a
knowing vagabondish air. His tail
has no curl in it-but it hangs aft,
limp as wet dish-rag hun out of a
back window to dry. The highest
peak of his corrugated back is six
inches above the level of the root of
his tail. He does not walk with the
slow and stately step of the patrician
Berkshire, but usually goes in a
lively trot. He leaves the impress
sion that he was late starting in the
morning and is making up for lost
time. or that he is in doubt about the
Payment of that check, and is hurry
ing to get it cashed before the bank
closes.
The country razor-back prowls
around in the woods and lives on
acorns, pecan-nuts and roots; when
he can spare time he climbs under
his owners fence and assist in har-
vesting the corn crop. In this res.
pect he is neighborly to fault, and
when his duty to his owners crop
will allow, he will readily turn IN and
assist the neighbors. even working
at night rather than see the crop
spoil for want of attention.
He does not know the luxury of a
sty. He never gets fat, and from the
day of his birth, sometimes two
years roll into eternity before he is
big enough to kill.
Crossing the razor-back with blue
blooded stock makes but little i'm
proyement. The only effective way
to improve him is to cross him with
a railroad train. He then becomes
an imported Berkshire or Poland
China hog, and if he does not knock
the train off the track the railroad
company pays for him at the rate Of
one dollar pound. for which they
are allowed the mournfuI privelege
of sheveling the remains off the
track.
The ham Of a country razor-back
is more juicy than the hind leg of an
iron fire-dog, but not quite so fat as
pine knot.-SVtings.
