with one accord the feet-footed
heathens went flying down the road to-

moment we could hear nothing but the
sound of their footsteps, and in mo

everything was still.
''Well, Sam, we're in a pretty mess"
l said, anxiously, for really could see
no way to turn. l had noticed as we
came from the village that there was

after dark the attempt would have been
absurd. At last we made fire and
agreed to take turns watching out the
night. l examined my gun carefully,

bring with me, and saw that my pistols
were all right, too, and then, placing
them handy, curled myself in the pal

out, discovered Sam stretched on the

as though he were back on the old
plantation. | was too near asleep to
realize how great the danger was, SO

last dream where / left it off.
What walked me next time was q
wild, piercing scream, that made my
heart stand still tumbled out of the
palanquin, grasping my gun as l went,
and was just in time to see the lion,
the terrible man-eating lion, dragging
Sam across the lighted space by his left
arm. fred, but l was too agitated to
aim well, and 1 gave him neck wound,
which enraged him without injuring
him fatally. With a roar that echoed
over the hills he dropped his prey and
came at me.
His onslaught was with such a rush
that stepped backward involuntarily,
and in doing so struck my foot against
one of the poles of the palanquin and
fell headlong, my gun flying from my
hand. In an instant the great beast
was upon me, his huge fore feet planted
on my breast, the great open mouth
against my face, and 1 was as near
fainting as a man ever comes, / sup

my flesh torn by those cleaning teeth
that were even then SO near my face.
He was evidently satisfied that 1 was
dead, and that he could drag me away at
his leisure. In the meantime the wound
in his neck was paining him, and he
sat down on his launches presently
and began trying to lick il.
And while lay there, knowing that

be upon me, looked up, and there in

peacefully as it used to at home when

When Snow reached camp and re-
lated his adventure q large party at
once set off up the trail in search of
Miss Pickett, though they scarcely
dared to hope to find her alive. They
fully expected that the bear had killed
her long before.
Great, then, was their establishment
and JOY when they found her but little
hurt, and greater yet was their surprise
when they learned how Martin had
saved her
From that hour Will Martin was a
hero, and every man in the camp was
ready to swear by him. He and Miss
Pickett married soon after, and then it
transpired that he had discovered one
of the richest mines in the west, and
was wealthy man.
Alb Snow did not tarry at Pickett's
Point many days, for it was not pleas
ant to hear the remarks people made
about his bravery.

A head slowly crept into sight from the
other side of the palanquin. The
shining barrel Of gun was carefully
raised to the top of the chair and
carefully pointed. involuntarily
shut my eyes, for I felt confident
that Sam knew nothing about gun,
and that he was as likely to shoot me
as the lion But presently, just as the
huge muzzle of the lion began nosing
me over again, and while his hot breath
was in my face, the deafening explo-
sion came, and with a roar the lion fell
forward upon me. He was dead before
Sam could get around to me. The grim

Sans left arm while it was dragging
him, but Sam was really less affected
by that hurt than l was by the nervous
prostration the horrible adventure had
given me- We managed to stay there

morning the village sent a delegation

DR. Creiphton looks upon it as "soil

attempt any further calculation of its
actual nature. We agree with him in
Shrinking that this and all similar pois-
ons must have originally arisen by
process of evolution. This, of course,
points to the conclusion that they are
organized and have a life history of
their own; while recerl pathological

questionable, and also that it may be

lple of England produced by the depop-

the black death, il is difficult fer Us to

shows that, though between this date
and 1865 there was no such extensive
lepidemic, ''for more than three CEN

there were five epidemics between lass

some measure Of support from DR. Creigh-

was brought ever by the Norman sol

thing of that kind, he'd have the life
very nearly scared out of him. II
wouldn't take great deal to scare him
to death, for that matter"
Notwithstanding these predictions
Will Martin continued to spend his time
in the mountains. only returning to the
Point once week for fresh supplies
and a day of rest. What he was doing
up there. or whether he was accom-
plishing anything, no one knew. for he
kept his own counsel
When he was at the Point he min
gled with the people very little, though
two or three times he had been seen
walking with Miss Pickett, and on q
few occasions he had been known to
call on her.
Several weeks passed, and then ono
day there came an event which created
great stir at Pickett's Point 1t was
an event that revolutionized the senti-
ment of the camp on one point entirely.
1t was a fair, warm day, and Alb
Snow and Miss Pickett went for ride
up the mountain trail They went sew
cral miles, then turned to retrace their
course, and were riding leisurely along,
chatting gayly, having no thought of
danger, when huge grizzly bear sud
denly appeared in the middle of tho
road few yards before them.
Snow Immediately drew his pistol
and fred shot or two at the bear, but
without effect, then, whirling about,
dashed off up the trail at full speed,
calling to Miss Pickett to follow. She
attempted to do so, but her horse, al
ready badly frightened, became I'M
manageable, and beginning to rear and
plunge soon unseated her and threw
her off.
Her horse at once followed Snow, and
within moment she was alone and at
the mercy of the bear. Snow heard
her horse following and supposed she
was on him, SO he proceeded on his way
to the camp by circuitous route, being
too badly scared to cast one look back
to assure himself that she was safe.
Miss Pickett was stunned by her fall,
SO before she could rise the bear had
advanced to her side. She felt his hot
breath on her face, and realized in an
instant the full extent of her danger.
She saw nothing but death before her,
and the next moment she expected to
feel bruin' sharp claws and teeth rend-
ing her flesh.
1t was a terrible situation, and tho
strain on her mind was more than she
could bear She felt her senses reced-
ing and was rapidly sinking into I'M
consciousness when the pressure of
sharp teeth into her arm recalled her.
Then instantly keen shot rang out
on the still air; then she was conscious
of a terrible fight going on above her
between some one and the bear. Then
she knew nething more.
When she regained consciousness
VIII Martin was kneeling by her, bath
ing her face, himself torn and bleeding
till she hardly recognized him.
''Are you badly hurt, Miss Piclsett?"
he asked, as soon as she opened her
eyes.
mo, think not, she replied. "But
you? How came you here, and what
has happened to you?"

HOUSEKEEPING DON'Ts.

Don't waste the cold mutton. A fine dish
can be presented for the domestic table
when cooked with macaroni and tomatoes.
Don't fail in your selection of good beef
The sirloin is the choicest of cuts, while rib
roasts have the next place. Three ribs viii
suffice for q family dinner. Beef is best in
winter, although always in season.
Don't eat veal all months of the year.
The proper time is from April to Septem-
Der. The leg is the most profitable, and
being solid meat, can be cut up into outlets.
Veal requires long cooking. AS a rule, it
is indlgestible, but for stomachs of weak
tendencies it should be INDUCED in spar
ingly The chops, when Dreaded, are ex-
cellent, but all veal should be well done.
Don't cook it too much; il done rightly
the juice should follow the knife when
carving. Beef can be served in various
ways, and for the rib roast the Yorkshire
pudding to accompany it. Sirloin steaks
are the most nutritious but the porter
house takes the best and highest place in
price. The trimmings of all beef should
find their way to the stock-pot. and by the
aid Of vegetables good soup can be real
lied The cold meat which is left can be
served with French stews. ragouts and
small dishes for the first meal of the day.
In all well regulated families beef is the
promoter of good health, good digestion,
aud with them the forerunner of good dis
positions.
Don't serve your mutton unless of the
best. l. should hang for week before it
is eatable. The fish should be firm and Of
bright red. The fat, creamy and yellow
in color. Mutton, like beef, is divided into
sides and quarters. The hind quarter,
which is the leg and loin, is the most desir-
able cut. 1t can be cooked 10 two ways,
roasted or boiled, and served either way
with caper sauce. which is great acqusi-
ton The shoulder can be roasted stuffed
The breast, when rightly treated, makes a
capital Irish stew. English mutton ranks
best when selected for the market, but is
expensive for people of limited means

VIRTUES OF THE sARDINE.

Gentlemen who are frequent high ban
queters, or who often stay in town Of
nights to look up into the spiral stems of
champagne glasses, should never drink
without sardines and soft bread beside
their elbows. These two articles will save
more jags and red noses than all the medi-
cines In the world. The bread, if eaten
freely, as often as the liquor is taken, will
absorb most of the alcohol, and the oil of
the fish will float the rest on top of the
stomach. Thus the delicate lining of the
food sack will be saved from injury and its
owner from dizziness, foolishness and i'm
ally unconsciousness. The salt in the sar-
dimes is also an excellent agent in cleaning
and putting the stomach in healthy shape
after q wine supper.-St. Louis Globe Demo
