The re -stiction of Major L. G. Da"es
as department commander of the Ohio
Loyal Legion recalls an unpublished
story Of how he had an ugly wound
dressed during the war. Outside of the
acauaintances of Major Dawes few know
of the ghastly Disagreement he coaceals
through the latest achievements Of Sur.
gical science. During the war the entire
lower portion of his face was shot away.
The jaw bone was shattered, and little
hope Of his recovery remained. Il was
decided, however, to attempt surgical
operation. He refused to take any anes-
thetics, was strapped to table, and for
an hour and a half stitch after stitch was
taken to patch up the chin, rubber con-
trivance-used as our grandmothers did
an imitation goose egg for darniDs socks
being used in the operation. Major
Dawes was speeches., bat be went
through the ordeal bravely. Finally it
was fnished-as all thought-but the
grizzled old surgeon who had charge of
the case said: "I'm afraid we'll have to
take two more stitches"
Major Dawes appealingly raised one
finger, indicating his wish to be let off
with one stitch.
81 beg of you, Doctor" exclaimed
Major Dawess brother, who assisted at
the operation, to take but one stitch
Up went two fingers of the silent suf-
ferer, stung by this brothers word "beg'
into a soldierly instinct to brave it out.
The job was finished, and the surgeons
went out to get stretcher for the ex-
hausted subject. Imagine their surprise
when, few minutes later, he walked
out, little pale, but still with we'll
earned title to heroism. To this day

constructor in Cincinnati-wears a false

popular soldiers in Ohio.-St. L0His Re

Spearing A Tiger.

A correspondent, writing to the Asian
from the Fort Palace, Poonch, says: "a
tiger was recently speared here with the
help of dogs. On the 6th inst, just
after five P. NJ, hill tiger sprang on a
big wild boar in the jungle of Blubut,
which is one Of the preserved parks Of
Prince Buldeo Singh of this State, aud is
adjacent to Poonch City. The boar
taking refuge behind large rock, got a
good chance to fight ald keep the tiger
at bay continually for five hours. At
last. Just after ten o'clock, the tiger got
in his spring and killed the boar o.
the 7tb, early in the morning, one OF the
Shikaris named Kurrup Iii brought the
news and Immediately Prince Bllde5
Singh, with his father Il. II. the Ma
haraiah, went out after the tiger, acco n
panied by pack of dogs. At the first
attempt bulldog was killed and sixteen
wounded, but the sportsmen were too
skllful to allow the brute to escape, and
with the assistance of the dogs the ami
nal was killed with spears, and both the
dead animals were brought through the
bazaar of the city, which was crowded
with spectators The tiger was niue feet
long; the heads of both are preserved
and kept in the Poonch Museum, situa-
ted close to the Fort Palace"

CHAPTER l.

CURIOSITY.
In September, 1889, came back to
New York from five years residence
as an art student in Paris, and took
studio with living rooms attached in
st. Marks place.
The house, which had formerly been
. private dwelling, was owned and the
three lower foors were occupied by an
old Frenchman named Archimede Mu-
selle. A large sign under the drawing
room windows read as follows, in let
ters Of gold upon a sable field:
ARCHIMEDE MUsELLE,
KxTERMNAToR OF ISsEcTs
I CHANGED to be passing through st.
Marks place one day shortly after my
arrival here, when that sign caught my
attention. 1t struck me as delightful.
Exterminator Of insects! In its ingenu-
ous incongruity. its fearless blending Of
the terrible with the minute, it seemed
not only insrinsically pleasant but very
agreeably and characteristically Gallo. !
halted and stood still before it, wrapped in
contemplation, wondering the while what
sort Of parsonage this exterminator might
be. My imagination pictured a roly
poly little fellow, French to his finger
tips, with a glossy bald pate, blandly
benevolent countenance, an effusive
manner and then fierce defiant black
mustache, waxed and curled upward at
the ends-un Roland Furieux, mais bien
petit, as Grinchette is described in the
play. Anyhow, he would be, like his
ensign, anticlimacteric; droll mixture
Of ferocity and mildness, of the beliicose
and the bourgeois; breathing simulta-
neously FIRE, vengeance and gentle odor
of soupe aux choux. I almost wished !
had some insect to offer up for extermi-
nation, so that might make an excuse
for paying him visit and scraping an
acquaintance. In default Of any was
at the point of moving off and continu-
ing my journey when happened to OBJ
serve another and smaller sign, suspend
ed below the big one, advertising a

The young mamie was in his shirt
sleeves; he emitted an aroma that trans
ported me in fancy. to Marseilles, and he
spoke like Frenchman who had picked
mp his English on the Bowery-- the
young man said, walk into de awffus
and set down; go call de bosse."
"The boss?" I queried. THAT is Mr..
Muselle?"
"Sure," the young man responded.
The Office into which he ushered me
was section partitioned off from what
had of old time been the drawing room
of the house. A large desk stood be-
tween the windows and behind 1t sat a
snub nosed young lady with ruddy hair

half dozen chairs that were ranged in q
row along the wall, and waited expect
antly for the exterminator to material

then of course l saw that he corre-
sponded in no particular with my pre-
conception. being neither roly poly nor
bland Of countenance nor fiercely mus
tachioed. But saw also and instantly
that he was vast improvement upon it,
He looked precisely as though he had
stepped out of French vaudeville. In
deed, if an accurate portrait OF him had
been shown to me beforehand could
never have believed that it represented
real man in real life. should have
taken for granted that it was either a
fancy sketch, or caricature, or u bit
from the theatre. -
He was tall, spare, erect and manifest
ly very old. He had the face, and espe-
cially the hands. of very old man. His
hands were emaciated and discolored
upon the backs with freckles and large
yellowish blotches, as hands hardly ever
are until old age comes on, an. the skin
hung loosely from the bones and the
veins stood out dark and wiry, and the
finger nails were parched and corrugat-
ed in way that signified Enthusiastically
