The National tribune., 1892-06-02

No one spoke, but each knew that the faces OF
his comrades were, like his own, glowing with
that feeling of gratitude that comes only when
a man has escaped almost certain death. They
would never see the man they had left behind
again; but, after all. he was old and alone IN
the world while they-well, with them life
was sweeter and dearer than it could possibly
have been to him. To Harry, at least, 1t
seemed SO. What would the girl have done
had he, instead, been killed, and lying back
there by the deserted campfire to be mutilated
beyond recognition when bis body should pass
into the hands of the Apachesf By morning
they would be within a few miles of the settle
ments, and they would be safe. 1t was so dark
that they had to use both hands and feet in
feeling for footway down through the canyon.
Still, they were making good progress. 1t
was hardly midnight and they must have left
their camp at least a dozen miles behind.
They could not be over so or 40 miles from the
settlements. and, once out of the canyon, they
would soon travel that distance. The moon
would soon be high in the heavens and that
would help them; but it would also bring aid
to the pursuers, raging at their escape. Its
light was already beginning to fill the mount
ain-sides and canyons with strange and uncouth
shadows.
The three men kept closely together, as If
relying on one another for assistance. AS they
climbed down through the canyon they remained

psred for them in the dead, whose bodies
would glisten when first killed with snowy
whiteness in the dazzling sunlight so that you
could see them dotting the plains from afar on.
while the hot winds from the south that tanned
your faca would be heavy with the smell OF
human carrion.
1t is not SO now, for better watch and ward Is
kept by the soldiers. But when twas so there
were four men who went into this Apache coun-
try to prospect for the mines from which in the
cid DAYS the Indians obtained the silver out OF
which they would mold bullets when they
could not get lead. Many a man has lost his
life searching for these Mines and many more
will doubtless do the same before they are dis
covered. This, though, will never deter men
from making the effort, so long rs men have the
right to take their lives in their hands and
wager them against wealth.
Of these four men one was Harry Barrett.
He was young and had, as many young men
have, and as all young men should have,
Girl with whom he was very much in love,
and to whom he was engaged to be married.
1t was probably this more than anything else
that made him so DESTROYS of growing suddenly
fieh by finding the treasure mines OF the
Apaches, for when a young man is truly in
love his greatest regret is that he does not
ewn the wealth of the Indies and possess the
power Of the Gar to augment his Importance
In the eyes Of the woman in whom he is so
deeply interested. This was SO with Harry
Barrett, and when old JEFF Bramlett, who had
The National tribune., 1892-06-02

stood watching him saw his eyes close and his
lips moving in prayer, but only for an instant,
and then, without looking up, he said:
"Good-by, boys; hope you will get
through"
There was not quaver in his voice. AS he
finished the men turned away SO rs not to SEQ
him, each saying softly, as if speaking to him
self:
"Good-by, Harry"
As they stood looking down the moonlit
canyon they could hear behind them, where
the wounded man lay, sounds rs if he were
choking and gasping for breath. When they
no longer heard them, they looked toward
where he lay. The white breast, where the
opened bosom of the shirt exposed 1t In the
shadow, looked as if stained with ink where
the blood had touched it, and across it lay the
nerveless hand that had held the knife.
For an instant the two men looked down on
the body with awe, as if afraid that the open
eyes were watching them. Then one placed
his hand over the heart Of the outstretched
1t seemed unnatural that it should be 80 with
dead man. For moment he held it there,
and then, wiping from it on the shirt Of the
dead man the blood that stained it, he arose
and said, in answer to his comrades look, In
almost whisper, IS if fearing to be heard by
the spirit that had just departed:
"Yes. he is dead"
And then the two survivors took the dead
mans arms and pushed forward into the night
toward the settlements, leaving behind them,
in the stiffness of the moonlit canyon, white,
upturned face to await the early dawn, when
the Indians would slash 1t so that even the
girl in the settlement, who had SO often kissed
1t, would not know it.-Argondut.

are pretty. This is also good style to use in

just What Corker is.

The word "corker" Is much abused one
for the reason that Its real meaning is unknown
to the vast majority of those who use the word
1t is derived from the French word "corquer,"
and that comes from the Latin "corcare,"
which, in turn, was born of the Greek word
"korka," Simplifying Incompatible one"
Throughout the Homerian epics the goddess
whom We call Venus Is referred to as Venus
the corker, aud the epithet as originally ap-
piled seemed to imply not only natural and
inherent qualities, but also shining and dis
tinguished acknowledgements and in.
tellectual beauty, attractions, charms, gifts and
arts. Our word, perverted by the ribald usage
Of the profanely needless. has come to imply q
certain disregard of consequences, SO that when
one speaks of the other as corker the multi
tude gathers therefrom that he who is desig-
mated as a corker must necessarily be sort of
we'll meaning but needless pyrotechnist in
speech and action. The word thorough
bred" corrupted and debauched by the brutal
familiarity of idle tongues, has come to have q
similar meaning.

How Men Fall when Shot,
TThe Popular Science MONTHLY.


The manner in which men fall depends also
upon the nature of the action in which they
are engaged. Nearly every ono is familiar
with the traditional stage fall, where the VIC
tim OF supposed death shot strikes an attitude,
clasps his hand to his heart, stifens every
joint and muscle, breathes hysterically, and
goes down like log toppled over from one
end. Another popular yet erroneous notion lie
that men shot through the vitaIs leap into the
air and go down in dramatic attitude. Some
times men are found on the field in striking
positions, but often an examination shows that
the position was taken after the fall. As a rule,
. man who is hit above the hips goes down.
The slighter the wound the moro commotion,
for the body instinctively resists just as it does
when one slips or is pushed or collides with
some object. But q wound in a vital spot
weakens the resistance and men sink at once
or reel and tumble with very little self con-
troll.

been tried and have proved successful. One is

ing 1t in clear water until oil tho soap is out,
and then drying it in the sun. In all these
cases special care must be given to getting all
of the soap out. Another way, recommended
by good authority. Is to wash the laces gently
In soapsuds, using fine soap, rinsing them and
then putting them through . very thin starch
made by boiling for an hour and half, half
teaspoonful of starch In pint of very slightly
blued water. The lace should be slapped until
nearly dry, then pinned to board covered
with two or three thicknesses Of heavy flannel.
and, after being ironed lightly, every scallop
and point should be pulled and smoothed out.
Other methods advise the use Of borax, small
quantity in the washing-water, and some put
another flannel ever the lace while ironing 1t.
Black lace, of course cannot be washed, but
can be freshened in the following way: Sponge
off the lace with . solution made by mixing
tesspoonful of ammonia and enc of turpentine
in a cup of hot water. In spsnging be careful
to use piece Of black cloth; silk is good.
Iron lightly, having the lace between folds Of

The most noted and most widely dis
tributed of American pasture grasses is
the Kentucky blue grass or June grass
poa pratinses). Very few Of the many
who own and have been reared amid
blue grass pastures are aware of the
wide difference in quality between such
pastures. They know that some pastures
are richer than others-that is, grow
more luxuriant grass-but not that many
pastures produce grass that yields more
and better favored butter than Others
that bear heavier crops of ranker grass.
In other words, it is not the raniiest crop
that makes the most butter, or butter of
the highest quality. There is another
grass (poa compressa) which is really
more entitled to be called blue grass
than the Kentucky grass. 1t will grow
anywhere that the Kentucky grass will
and fourishes on some soils where the
other will scarcely live. On favorable
soils it makes butter grass equal to the
best Kentucky and is highly deserving
OF more general cultivation. Bull

An Important Point in tho tVIttvesson
of Thcsc Tvo Crpns

Early planted crops, or ground that was
early worked, may nave become more
or less crusted on the surface. With a
good steel rake pulverize this surface
and change It TO finely nellowed ton
soil. This will hasten growth, and any
foul seeds just starting will be DESTROYED,
according 10 CouAtry Gentleman. which
Illustrates as follows another important
point in the cultivation of potatoes and
corn:
In cultiyating potatoes, avoid the
common practice of drawing the earth
in hills around the plants, because ia
doing so you scrape the earth away
from the roots betwec:. yhe rows. and pile
it up needlessly high against the plants.
The hill, with the natural level and the
mass OF soil piled above it, is shown by
one OF the figures of the cut. The ef.
fects Of the two methods may be easily
tested by experiment. Cultivate ten
rows level and ten in heaps, and the
level hills, when the crop is measured,
will have from 10 to 90 per cent. more
potatoes. There will be difference be-
tween slight hills and steep hills, and
there will be a difference in soils. Try
both ways and compare the results.
