the call was pretty close, the bullet
cutting channel through my hair!
Seeing that he had missed me, the
villain caught his heavy weapon by
his strength. Quickly guarding, l sue
ceeded in partially DETECTING the dam
gerous projectile, but yet it grazed my
cheek and inflicted flesh wound which
bled profusely-the scar, you see, is
still visible. Then, with hoarse cry
like that of an enraged tiger, he closed
in on me, lodging a blow 1 aimed at
his head. The moment the fellow
grappled me / found that in mere brute
strength he was far my superior, and
that should have to depend upon my
greater skill and activity to escape from
his clutch alive.
cat such close quarters my trusty
weapon was useless, and ! dropped it
to the ground. Locked together in
deadly embrace, the fearful struggle for
mastery now began.
my antagonist, time and again, tried
to fasten his iron grasp on my throat,
but was as often foiled. Then he
would attempt to batter my face with
his bullet head, but l was taller than
he and he could not do it. The brute
fairly foamed at the mouth with impo-
tent rage as he found himself matched
at every point, while 1, for the first
time, inwardly blessed my stars that
the gymnasium of my alma mater had
received a greater show of my devo-
ton than was absolutely necessary for
good scholarship. 1t is astonishing
how soon one who thinks himself utter
ly worn out by fatigue can pick up
when life is at stake; and / now felt
fresh as if merely exercising for fun.

with the current, splashing through the
mud until l had gone about two miles.
Then came to an old log shanty which
had been at some time headquarters
for outlying shepherds. thought at
first that the place was deserted, but
on reaching the door (there were no
windows), / saw faint glimmer of
Light through the cracks This, of
course, leading me to suppose that shep-
herds still occupied it, gave single
rap and entered, in the free and easy
manner usual in such cases; and the
next moment most devoutly wished
that had not done so, for the first
glance at the interior showed me that I
had run into danger-and without a
chance of getting any fun out of it. n

looking 'old lags,' of the Bill Sykes

bound to find everywhere, the second,
he, all unintentionally, achieved, and
in so doing added to the last an unex-

Frank was one of the bravest, heart
dest and most CHEEKY young fellows l
have ever known; and when, tired OF
the hard work on the diggings, he bade
us good-by one April morning and
started off to walk, as his first homeward
stage, across country to the main road
leading to Melbourne, we all felt that
we had lost comrade not easy to re-

In those colonial ante-railway days

the way places, never saw a newspa-
per, although to some of the more pop
ulous diggings the Melbourne Argus
was frequent visitor. We therefore
remained ign GRANT of the stir made in
the local press over certain events, in
which Frank bore conspicuous part,
and of which l learned the particulars
only after my own return to America,
two years afterwards, when as l sat
'one day in the reading-room of the old
Astor house, New York, who should
march in but Frank Power himself!
Then we sailed our voyage around the
word, 1nade the weary tramp to the
diggings and dug our gold all over

A Check Upon Corruption.

The typical newspaper of today is far
from being perfect, and none knows its
deficiency better than those who print it.
But when its imperfections have been
named aud criticised as they should be,
the fact remains that it is today the
greatest check upon political corruption
to be found in the land. Years ago the
sleepy organs that dozed while thieves
plundered the treasures might still hope
for the public respect, but in this day
they fail TO serve the first purpose of the
progressive journal, and an intelligent
public so understands it.-Pottsville Min
er's Journal,
