SOME ODD STORIES.
Interesting Incidents A5la3i by Major
Alfred R. Calhoun.
IN A DEN OF THIEVES.
The Exciting Adventure Of Howard
Weldon, a Young American Doctor, in
the Great, Wicked City Of Loadon.
[Copyrig lighted. |

Howard Weldon, native of st. Louis,
having taken his doctors degree at one of
the most foremost medical schools in Phil
adelphia, and having money, time and the
inclination, decided to spend some years
walking" the best hospitals of London,
Paris and Vienna.
He had friend in London with whom
he was going to lodge during his stay, but
as it was midnight, and raining at that,
when he reached the worlds metropolis, he
made up his mind to spend the night in
some quiet hotel not far from his friends
residence.
Outside Euston station he accosted one
of hundred waiting cabmen, or cab
bies," as they are there called, and asked
him if he knew of any public house in the
vicinity of ST. Johns Wood.
The man touched his hat and replied
that he knew every public house in the
city and that he was particularly well ac-

His room was next the corner, and by
means Of the Pickering candle he saw that
he could swing himself to the waterspout
ard climb to the roof above, for the huge
dog visible below convinced him that it
would be death to drop to the ground.
He had just made these observations
when the light went out, and he heard the
trap being lifted under the bed. He
coughed and called out, who's theref'
but got no reply.
He pulled off his boots, fastened them
about his neck, seized the eXtemporized
rope and swung into the storm and dark
ness. By pressing his feet against the
wall he increased the oscillating motion
till at length the pipe came within his
reach, when he seized it and let the rope 60
1t sustained his strength, and then he re-
called the method he had seen firemen
practice in his own land, and by the
strength of his toes and fingers he sue
ceeded in gaining the roof, which he found
to be slated and comparatively fiat.
Il he could remain here till daylight he
might be able to summon honest people to
his aid and be safe. Then he recalled that
there must be a skylight, and by careful
feeling he found it, and then his fingers
came in contact with a loose bolt which he
grasped with a feeling of joy.
Soon the dog was barking, lights were
flashing and the house was in commotion.
After awhile the skylight was pushed up,
and aided by the light beneath the doctor
saw shaggy head and he brought down
the bolt with blow that sent the man
rolling down the steps.
He fastened the skylight again, and ig-
noring the oaths and threats and cOaxing
for him to come down he held the fort till
daylight, when he attracted the notice of

A Case of Nerve.

When travelling through INDIA some
years ago, my letters of introduction from
English officers at Hong Kong gave me Il
welcome in many quarters not accessible
to the ordinary tourist. | met MajO Bell.
of the Indian service at Calcutta and we
travelled together On the cars to the famous
city of Lucknow, outside of which, some
six miles, he lived with his wife, two chill
dren and an army of native servants.
AS was master of my own time and
had conceived decided liking for the sol
dierly Englishman, it did not require
much urging on his part to induce me to
go out with him to his bungalow, near
which he promised me some good Jungle
fowl shooting But" he said, 81 regret
to tell you that we are out of reach of
tigers" and assured him that l did not
regret it at all, and that did not come
to India to hunt for lost tigers.
am tempted to dwell at length on this
delightful visit to Major Bell, but as my
purpose is simply to describe little ad
venture in which my host exhibited the
strongest nerve and the coolest head have
ever met with, will come at once to the
incident.
sThe majors first born was handsome
lovable little fellow of six, the idol of his
mothers heart and the apple of his fathers
eye.
One evening as we neared the house,
after II not very successful tramp through
Jungle along the Goomty river, on
which Lucknow is situated, we saw
"Pinty," the pet name for the boy, playing
by the roadside, where he had evidently
come to meet us. His back was toward us,
and he was so much interested in some
thing in front that he neither saw nor
heard us us we drew near.
Thinking to give the little fellow Il pleas.
ant surprise, the major motioned to me to
keep perfectly quiet; then he went softly
ahead, but when within ten PAGES of the
child he came to Il sudden halt, steadied
himself as if to keep from falling, and the
side face turned toward me was ashy and
pain lined.
Two silent steps forward revealed the
situation that had wrought this sudden
change in the major Directly in front Of
the child, and not more than FIVE feet
away, was an enormous cobra.
1t was coiled, though not in a ring like
the American rattlesnake, and from the
center of the glttering mass of convolu-
tions there rose the swollen head and neck
of the monster, which swayed round and
round in rhythmic curves, while the forked
tongue darted in and out necessarily and
the cruel eyes CLEANED like liquid fire.
The major half raised his gu but real
zing that it would be impossi Die to dis
charge it at the cobra without hitting the
child-for it was loaded with shot-he
changed his purpose an ched back to
his hip for his pistol
As he raised the weapon | lost for the
instant all sense of the child's danger in
admiration for the fathers phenomenal
nerve. Not muscle trembled as he raised
the weapon, and his arm was as rigid as
steel
An instant of awful anxiety, then flash
and crack, and dropping the pistol the
major leaped forward and caught the
startled and unframed child to his heart.
The bullet went directly through the
cobra's head, and for IA week after that
saw cobras in my dreams.
