A MazePpa of the Plains.

Mr.. Boussand, a wealthy cattle own
er, whose herds range in the unorganized
territory of northwestern Nebraska,
has Just returned from the annual
''round up" in that region and relates a
tale of the plains that is, in some re-
spects, counterpart of the orthodox
Mazeppa. Wien BOussand reached his
ranch about the middle of June, he
found his cowboys nursing a young man
whom they had rescued from the back
of a bronco. When discovered the
modern MaZeppa was lashed to the
horse, entirely naked and unconscious.
The animal was about broken down, as
if from long running, and was easily
lassoed by the cowboys, who cut the
thongs and released the strange captive.
This happened about two weeks before
Boussand's arrival and during all that
time the stranger had lain in a stupor.
4 few days before BOussand started on
his return journey to Omaha, having a
little medical knowledge, he succeeded
ia restoring the patient to consciousness
and his recovery was rapid.
When able to talk he said his nam6
was Henry Burbank; that he was an
Englishman, 81 years of age. About
three years ago at Falmouth, England,
he formed partnership with friend,
Thomas Wilson, some years his senior,
and with him came TO America to en-
bark in the cattle business. They cast
about for while and finally settled in
northwestern Nebraska, where the
range was unlimited and herders few
and far apart. They built comforta-
BILE ranch by a little stream, where
Wilson's young wife reigned as house,
keeper, attended by two or three female
domestIcs. Burbank, who is hand
some young fellow, found it agreeable,
while Wilson was absent riding about
the range, to make love to the latter's
wife. This continued for some months
until IN the latter part of May one of
the cowboys, who had grievance
against Burbank, reported the fact to
the woman's husband, whose jealousy
had already been aroused.
That night Burbank was captured
while asleep in bed by Wilson and three
of his men and bound before he had a
chance to make any resistance. Will
son had HIM stripped of every bit of
clothing and bound on the back of wild
bronco which was started off by vigorous
lashing. Before morning Burbank
became unconcious and was, therefore,
unable to tell about his terrible trip.
He thinks that the outrage was commit
ted on the night of May n and he was
rescued on the morning of June 3,
which would make seven days he had
been travelling about the plains without
food or drink and exposed to the sun
and wind. Wilson's ranch is about geo
miles from the spot where Burbank
was found, but it is hardly probable
that the bronco took direct course,
and therefore many more miles in his
wild journey. When fully restored to
health Burbank proposes to make a
visit of retaliation on Wilson, and in
this he will be backed by Boussand's
men and those of the Ogallala Land
and Cattle Company, whose range is
near BOussand's.

An Escaped Comet

During the last four years some
comets have paid visits to the ruler of
the solar system and displayed tEeiT
dazzling trains to the admiration of his
attendant worlds: Every one of these
comets has been remarkable for some
unusual or unaccOuntable conduct.
The big comet of 1881 suddenly hirted
its streaming tail INTO the northern hem
isphere unannounced and unexpected,
and surprised the astronomers at their
telescopes as much as 1T did the milk
men on their early morning visits to the
pumps. The comet of 1882 amazed the
world by suddenly appearing at broad
noon close to the sun, where it scared
like r1ery bird with broad wings ex-
tended, and as it retreated from the
solar system it appeared to be chased by
a bevy of little comets to which it had
apparently given birth during the ter
rors of its plunge through the flaming
banners of the sun. In 1888 the comet
OF 1872 reappeared. But the most ex-
traOrdinary comet of all Is the one
which was discovered at the Vienna
observatory about month ago. 1t
seems to have been clearly seen, for the
observers carefully measured its posi-
ton among the stars, and it was be-
lieved from its place and motions that
it was one of the comets of 1858 return
ing. But after thus showing itself the
comet disappeared, and, although bat
tery of telescope has been brought 20
bear upon the spot where it appeared,
from nearly every observatory in Eu-
rope, not glimpse of the mysterious
visitor from the realms Of outer space
has been caught.

Your Calling.

81 am sOrry l was not trained to

business friend in Detroit yesterday.
''See here. young man, " was the re-

Aren't you doing well enough ? Come,

'NOnsense ! Never too old to cor

how it was
"My father was a lawyer. There
were three boys of us, and every Infiu-
ence was thrown around us when very
young to stir in US the ambition to en-
ter professional careers. We had fine
library, the tone of our home was re-
fined and cultured, and before any of
us grew up We were very well grounded
in polite literature. We had sense
enough To see that father would not
listen to any objections to a professional
we went the old gentleman's way. |
was too good to be preacher, and had
too weak a stomach to be doctor.
The law was the last resort, SO L took
it up. After | was admitted L wnacked
away at the dry and unproductive
stuff. for fifteen years. 1t was the mar
tyrdom OF drudgery. Finally l made
a break, went into business and have
always been prosperous and happy from
that day to this. You see | had found
my niche and | can say with truth that
l find more pleasure in making a good
sale than in pOckeuing the profits of it.
My business suits me; L take pleasure
in it aud long ago made up my mind
that my boys should follow their incli-
nations in the matter OF life occupa
tion, no matter whittier they were led.
1.-The successful and great editors
and writers are those who love with al
conquering enthusiasm the thorny and
difficult road of journalism. 1t is so
with our merchants and all manner of
men. Ashley Pond, for example, loves
the arena of the law. See the height
he has attained to. c. III. Bull is III
love with business. He has worked up
from nothing to a commanding place in
the commercial world, and, L have no
doubt, takes more pleasure in his office
day by day than he could possibly ex-
tract from tour of Europe.
