to see it done. A street gamin had
risled his life to save an old woman
scarcely worth the saving. That was
all. Even the World, that had printed
his advertisement for hero, dismissed
the affair with two lines: "a newsboy
was run over by an incoming freight at
the corner of Sixteenth and Walnut,
and lost foot He was taken to the
Charity hospital, where his wounds
were dressed"
They took Dick to the hospital and
cut away the mangled limb, and when
il was all over he lay very still, staring
at the white walls and trying to realize
what life would be to q cripple. Oh,
Godl that long, awful hour when we
first stand face to face with loss, and
in all the wide world have no kinship
save with sorrowi BY and by there
was a stir by the bedside, and an at
tendant whispered: "But he bcgs 50
pitifully to see the newsboy who was
brought here tonight" And the sur
geon, who had heard something Of the
boys heroism, and noted the dumb
misery in his face and rightly guessed
its meaning, said: Bring him in for a
few minutes" and Tom was conducted
to the bedside.
They had not many words, these two
little street gamins, in which to express
their Joy or sorrow, and so Tom knelt
in silence by the cot, his hard, keen
little face working, and Dick choked
back sob and said: TON, I'll never
walk agin."
After q bit Tom drew q crumpled pa
| per out Of the breast of his jacket and
softly laid it beside Dick. 1t was thei-
advertisement.

said simply; and Dick answered, wist
fully: do you reckon he could fni

That night Dick slept with the paper
clasped close in his hand, but he nevef

could not sleep for It, and when his
papers were passed over the counter in
the gray dawn of the next morning, he
could scarcely open one, his hands
trembled so; but there it was, and he
gloated over it all day as bis shrill,
childish treble called out: "He-ays yer
papers! Noos, Her-rul, Wur-rul" He
wondered who would see ii, who would
answer it. He never doubted its ulti-
mate success in bringing him into close
personal relationship with his hero.
That night he and Tom read and re-
read their advertisement with linger>
ing delight, talking of the hero who
would come. and they pictured him like
the heroes of their favorite melodramas,
as Monte Cristo, crying: 1.-THE world is
mine!" from sea of ice; and Davy
Crockett barring the door with his good
right arm But no one came in answer
TO their advertisement. They were
surprised and little disappointed, but
comforted themselves with the thought
that heroes must have many calls upon
their time and waited on in patient
hopefulness

down the dark alley that led tn the

RIDING ON BAREBACK sTEEDs.

The Famous Equestrian Statue In Rome
Of Marcus AureIius.
Polybius remarks, in his famous His
tory" that the Numidian cavalry which
Hannibal brought with him from Africa
into Italy were mounted upon small,
wiry horses, without saddles on their
backs or stirrups to help their riders"
There is, moreover, at Rome, in the CEN
ter of the plaza ut the capitol, a bronze
equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius
Antoninus, which was pronounced by
Michael Angelo to be the finest work of
ancient Greek art that the frenzied rage
of political partisans and the fury of
barbarian invaders had permitted to
survive in the Eternal City down to this
time. The statue was long supposed to
be memorial of Constantine the Great,
and consequently escaped destruction
when the Christians at last gained the
ascendency over their Pagan foes. Every
lover of horses who visits the capital of
Italy must have had his attention at
tracted to the beautiful presentment Of
horseman gracefully seated on bare
steed, which has extorted admiration
from many generations of connoisseurA
1t is alleged, indeed, by Dolan Stanley,
in his Memorial of Westminster

sculptor of the equestrian statue Of
Peter the Great, which is one of
the most conspicuous ornaments Of
St Petersburg, was one day found by .

Indians Who Wear tho Dried Heads
Their Dead Enemies.

Indians Who Wear tho Dried Heads OF
Their Dead Enemies.
"a remarkable tribe of Indians are
the Napos, who live in the northern
part of Chilli" says Mr.. Childs, q trav-
eler. Instead of wearing scalps ut
their belts as trophies, like the Ameri-
can savages, the heads of their enemies
dangle at their girdles. By a mysterious
process known only to themselves, they
remove all the facial and Uranium bones
without cutting the skin or destroying
the interior. The head is then reduced,
without manning any of the features,
to the size of mans fist
Mr.. Childs brought one of these heads
with him, and he intends to putt in the
museum of the Carnegie library here.
In San Francisco he showed it to the
County Medical society, and the doctors
offered him $1,000 for it He said no
sum of money would buy ii. He thinks
there is one in the Smithsonian insti-
tute, and outside of his own he doesn't
believe there is another In the United
States. The Indians discovered they

law was passed forbiddirg their
sale. Through the kindness of
Gen. Caamano and Gen. Sorsby, the
American consul general to Ecuador,
Mr.. Childs secured the head. He says
Gen. Sorsby has eight orders Tor heads
from museums and colleges in the
United States, and he is afraid he will
not be able to get them.
The head and face that Mr. Childs has
is not as large as baseball. By the
secret process the bones were removed
and the features reduced. All the hair
on the original head is still there. 1t is
long and black, and probably reached
to the shoulders The Indians put q
string through the lip for every enemy
they had slain. This head has four
strings in the lip, and the mouth is
drawn out of shape. In other respects
every feature is retained. The eye
brows are here. and You can see the
hair in the nose. The microscope re-
veals the pores in the skin, greatly
crowded together.
The head was cut off even with the
shoulders, and there is a hole in the
windpipe directly under the chin, where
the victim was evidently stabbed A
number of people have looked at the
head, and all are puzzled to know how
it was prepared. Gen. Caamano thinks
that Immediately after the bones are
taken out red-hot gravel is put into the
head. The heat reduces the size, tana
the skin, and makes it hard and tough.
Then the gravel is removed. 1t is q
most curious and hideous sight, but
well worth seeing. Pittsburgh Dis
