DRIVING A KNIFE TO THE HEART.

How a New Jersey Man Discounted the
Chances of Being Buried Alive-Some
Narrow Escapes of Recent Date-A
Ghoul's Awful Crime.
There is one dread greater than the dread
of death, and that is the dread of being
buried alive.
George w. Fay, of Hammonton, n. j.,
who died recently, was haunted by this ter
rible fear, and compelled his relatives to
promise that before they consigned his re-
mains to the grave they would plunge

Dosing a Deer with Blus Pills.

A good story is told at the expense of an
unnamed member of the United States
senate who recently sought health on a
hunting expedition. In one pocket he
carried a lot of blue pills provided by his
doctor, and in another lot of bucks hot.
He carefully loaded his gun, and when he
sighted a deer fired both barrels at the
game without effect. Subsequent investi-
cation disclosed the fact that ne had taken
his ammunition from the wrong pocket,
and that the deer received double dose of
blue mass instead OF lead

A Desperate Battle Between Officers and
Outlaws.

Noble county, Ind, comes to the front
with the prize outlaw of the Jesse James
type. He is Mervin Kuhns, man of mid
die age, whose life for over thirty years,
except a short interval in the penitentiary,
has been one continuous series of crimes.
In Ohio he has been known and sought for
as the "Fostoria murderer" as he is
charged with having killed his pal" one
Campau, at that place; but Indiana was
after him for horse stealing when he made
his last fight, wounded two officers badly
and got four shots in his own carcass.
Adding a shot he got in Ohio he is now

Lucy Roberts was the only white
woman, or, more correctly speaking,
girl, for she was only twelve years Of
age, to make her appearance in the min
ing camps along the bed Of the Fraser.
Large for her age. her sweet girlish face
lighted up by wide opened blue eyes Of
rare beauty. her head decked with an
unusual growth Of golden hair, Lucy,
who was q most daring horseback rider,
fitted through the mining camps like q
sprite. her long hair thrown to the wind
and glittering In the sunshine with q
golden sheen.
The rough miners idolized her, and she
often came like an angel Of peace among
them, quelling brawlS, staying the hand
uplifted with murderous intent, or rescu-
ing some poor wretch from the clutches
Of the desperate. Angel Of Hell's
hollow" Belle Of the Cariboo," "3uar.
dian Spirit Of Cory Gulch," Golden
Lucy" were some Of the picturesque
names bestowed upon her by the inmates
Of the mining camps.
Strange to say. no one stood more in
dread Of Lucy's love Of fair play and
her vigor In bringing evil doers to
justice than her own father, for he was
only too prone to make use Of his power
for the purpose Of furthering his own
interests. or the qualification Of his
darker passions The moment the arrest
Of the Morels became known to Miss
Roberts, now Q young lady Of twenty,
she at once suspected some evil design
on her fathers part-a suspicion which
grew into q certainty when she learned
Of the existence Of the beautiful French
girl and the attempted abduction follow

and brother.

given without the slightest hesitation.

scourings Of the worlds market places,
attracted to the province by the magical
cry Of gold, that she opened her blue
eyes In unaffected astonishment as she
was confronted by the Morels, especially
Leon, whose frank, open countenance
and manly bearing appealed ct once to
her innate love Of honesty and fair deal

Leon had already heard Of the Angel
Of Hell's Hollow" but in the widest
flights Of his Imagination he had not
pictured to himself any such modest and
refined maiden as stood before him. BE
felt the blood tingling in his cheeks a.
those round, wide opened, liquid blue
eyes were turned full upon him, and for
. moment he even forgot his gold mine.
After listening to their answers 10 her
questions Lucy exclaimed;

men, and your imprisonment shall not

was dimly outlined in the moonlight
She noticed that Hector was strangely
quiet and that he staggered about In .
dazed away. When within o few feet
Of the man, who had until that moment
been standing behind q clump Of bushes,
he bounded forward, and throwing his
arms around the girls waist muttered
between his teeth:
"Ah, my pretty one, you must go with
mel Don't be afraid; no harm will come
to you"
For the first time Pauline now saw
that the man was masked. Quivering
with rage at the foul deception which
had been played upon her, the girl felt
her muscles grow strong as iron.
Quick, mother. bring me q pistolT'
she called out. and seizing the man by the
throat she gave him such convincing
proof Of her strength that he was forced
to let go her waist and lay hold Of her
wrist Madam Morel, at sight Of her
daughter struggling with the masked
ruffian. made several attempts to reach
her side. but her limbs bent under her,
her brain whirled and she tottered and
fell in heap.

the ruffian, whats the user We won't

Pauline felt her strength gradually
failing. She realized that in q moment
more she would be completely at the
mans mercy. The thought maddened
her; already her voice was gone Her
few agonizing screams had destroyed its
force. She still kept up faint show Of
resistance. but slowly and gradually the
rufiian was dragging her toward the
vehicle. All seemed lost Mother, faith
er, brother, even the handsome stranger,
fitted through her mind. The covered
vehicle was reached, and the rufflan
stopped to lift the hfeless girl into the
wagon, when the sharp report Of pistol
rang out. She felt the mans hold relax,
and the next instant sank lifeless into
pair Of stout arms, which, gently en-
circling her, bore her back to her moth
er's side She could not see the face Of
her rescuer, but instinctively she felt that
the handsome stranger was near her and

Madam Morel was easily persuaded to
lie down again, but Pauline preferred to
sit beside "Mr. Timely" and not until

Inc Manufacture of hhiaa.

What is the use of exploring un- known and dangerous countries for rubies when the secret Of their arti ticial production has been discovered, says the Pail Mall Gazette. This was tho question which the Academy of Sciences discussed on the report of NM. Frenzy and Verneuil. who for some time past have been making chemical experiments iu the manu- facturc of these stones. More valuable than mere theory was the fact that the two chemists exhibited some hundreds of specimens of the glittering rod crystals they had succeeded in produc- ing The rubies were admitted by all to be much superior to an thing hith- erto manufactured. No little danger.
 however. attends the process. The chemicals have to be fused at a heat co intense that Nj. Verneuil during tho course o' the experiments noarly lost his sight While manufacturing rabios the two chemists found that at a cer- tain stage of the operations crystals of tho color of sapphires were produced. but the hue hitherto obtained has not been equal to the tint of the real gem.

A Big Gamc Preserve.

Much interest, says Forest and Stream, attaches to the enterprise undertaken by Austin Corbin. who has laid out on au extensive scale a preserve for big game in New England. A tract of country has been secured forty miles north of Concord. amid the Croydon and Grantham mountains in New Hampshire. The range covers many thousands of acres Mir. Corbin pro poses to inclose the territory. police 1t, and maintain it strictly as a private game preserve. The species of big game to be put out upon twill ipcluds buffalo. elk. antelope, moose. caribou and deer. white-tailed and black-tailed. While this is further northeast than the recorded native range of the buffalo, there is no reason why they should not do we'll in New Hampshire. The region is the native home of the moose, cari- bou and the white-tailed deer; and the black-tail might thrive there. We ser. iolsly question, however the success of the experiment with antelope. The climate is dry compared with that of the West. and the probability is that the species will not live in New England. It is sincerely to be hoped that MT. Corbin's enterprise in establishing such . preserve for the noble game of Amer. lea may be successful.
