he has all there are to choose from

he has all there are to choose from.
His shrewdness surpasses belief.
Every trick of the fugitive he knows.
A squad of cavalry followed his trail
for miles and finally found dead
horse that had given out under him
and the horses shoes were turned
wrong end foremost. They had fol-
lowed back trail.
When he is alone he covers his
tracks behind him and no one can
trail him. They only know that he
has passed from place to place by the
bodies of his victims. Kid never
touches food he finds in camp. Even
whisky he will not touch for fear of
poison. Whenever he likes he goes
into the towns. He speaks half dozen
languages, thanks to his college educa-
ton, and no one knows him. He pass
es for q Mexican then and buys what
he likes.
Not long ago there was in the en-
ploy of one of the cattle companies
down Dona Ana way, splendid va
uuero. He was a Mexican, but so ex-
pert with the rope and so much OF
rider that even the tall Texans had to
admit him as good as the best of them.
He had worked along for some weeks
when he was sent with another va
quero to round up some stock in one of
the distant valleys. Neither of them
came back. They found the body Of
the cowboy where they had camped.
His throat had been cut while he slept.
The expert yaquero was Kid. This
was merely one of his grim surprises.
After each outrage the soldiers have
come out after the Apache. No one
but the soldiers will hunt him: The
cowboys, afraid of nothing on earth,
will not tempt fate by chasing this
one Indian, and report that Kid is
in camp will stampede any cow outfit
from the Gulf to the Panhandle.
But so frequent have been this Apa-
che's outrages of late that the two gov
ernments have apparently determined
to end them for always. Two troops
of United States cavalry have been
sent out for him and are now securing
the hills on the old Head rancho in
New Mexico.
They have orders to hunt him down,
no matter how long or how far they
have to follow him.
Just over the line 500 Mexican in
fantrymen are on the same mission.
1t would be close place for most men,
but Kid has been as badly beset before.
Many wild ride has he given them
over the hills and deserts, his horse
tearing over the country unguided,
while the naked rider dealt death back
to them as they galloped wildly on

led u,ruy bct,rccn t,uo soldiers.
Greatness underlying an uninviting
exterior is often called out by circum-
stances. President Lincoln would not
have been the "great emancipator" had
he not been born in the nick of time.
General Grant would not have become
prominent as soldier had the civil war
occurred before or after he was of fit age
to lead the Union armies, and Jakey
Slack-well, Jakey would not have de-
veloped his ability as strategist had it
not been for his friend, Mark Malone,
and the negro jail at Chattanooga.
Jakey was as incompetent to sit down
and think out plan for his friends es-
cape as he was to demonstrate Il propo-
sition of Euclid. He could neither add
columns of two figures nor spell words
of one syllable; indeed he could neither
read, write nor cipher, the want of an
ability to read or write being a great
disadvantage to him in his present re-
sponsible position. But the desire to
help his friend out of bad fix having
got into his brain, from the nature of
the case it simmered there, and then
boiled little, and simmered and boiled
again. Like most people of genius,
Jakey was unconscious of his own pow
ers, but there was one person in whom,
next to Mark, he had great confidence;
that was his sister Souri,. Then came
the thought that if Souri, were only
there "she mought do heap" Ihls
led Jakey up to the problem how to get
her there. The problem was too dltfl-
cult for his young brain to solve, SO he
got no further until circumstances came

CHRlsT's MOTHERS WEDDING RING.

One of the famous "Myths of the
Middle Ages" the account of which,
by the way, Barring Gould neglected to
incorporate into his valuable work of
the above quoted title, was the story OF
the "Miraculous Ring" supposed and
believed to have been the identical
circlet used in the marriage ceremon-
les which made the Virgin Mary and
Joseph, the carpenter, man and wife.
This wonder-worker was a homely
little onyx or amethyst jewel, having
q carved representation of the Bud
ding Rod on the signet. 1t was dis
covered in the year 996 in this man
ner: Judith, the wife of Hugo, Mar
quis of Eituria, being great lover OF
Jewels, employed one Ranerious, a
skilled lapidary Of Clusium, to go to
Rome and make some purchases for
her. While there he became acquaint-
ed with a jeweler who had just ar
rived from Jerusalem. This man soon
became greatly attached to our friend
Ranerius, and when the latter was on
the eve of departure presented him a
very communicating finger ring. Ra-
nerius at first declined such valueless
gift, but upon being pressed to take it,
only consented after listening to q
marvellous story of the rings history,
which wound up with the declaration
that it was the wedding ring of Joseph
and Mary. Ranerius, still careless of
what the other said, threw it in chest,
where it remained ten years. During
this time Ranerius's only son, ten years
of age, died. While the child was be-
ing carried out for burial he suddenly
rose from his coffin and ordered the
bearers to stop. Then calling to his
father he told that individual a won
derful story of his trip to heaven and
how sorrowful the Virgin Mary was
because he (Ranerius) had allowed her
precious jewel to lay neglected for ten
long years. The resurrected boy had
never heard of the ring before, but
when the chest of ftrinkets was brought,
soon selected the holy relic. After
performing the miracle the child died
again and was buried. But the ring
became the relic of relics and was con-
stantly surrounded by devotees and
those who desired to have itapplied to
blind eyes, crippled limbs, etc. 1t was
the greatest miracle worker of the
times. Besides healing leprosy, curing
blindness, sciataca and other ills, it
reconciled entangled married people,
drove out devils and performed many
minor services. For many years 1t
was at Clusium, but was finally stolen
by one Winthems and carried to Pc
ruga. A long dispute arose over this,
which was at last decided by Cardinal
Piccolominaeus, who adjudged to it the
last named place.

THE FACE OF A CLoCK.-An excel
lent way to test mans powers of OBJ
servation is to ask him to draw the
dial of clock. Most persons set
down Nv for four, instead of the four
straight lines usual on dials, and few
remember that all the letters of the
dial stand with their bases toward the
centre. 1t has been demonstrated that
all persons ordinarily read clock dial
by the position of the figures and dis
regard the figures themselves.
One of the best known public dials
in provincial town has no mark save
a straight line at each of the places
usually occupied by the Roman nu-
merals, and the maker of the great
clock of the houses of parliament
made another great dial, upon which
he indicated each hour by a single
straight line. 1t has been found, how
ever, that while most persons have no
accurate knowledge of dials, any
marked departure from the usual rule
in the marking of watch faces or house
clocks is easily detected. A dial bear
ing w instead of four straight lines at
once attracts attention.

BEGGARs IN COLD New YORK.
The number of beggars in the streets is
appalling. 1t is impossible for any
one to resist their appeals, for the suf-
ferings which many of those unfortu-
mates 20 through is apparent from their
wretched condition. Half of them are
only partly clad, and in some instances
the physical suffering must be intense.
A day or two since lady of my ac-
quaintance told me of a woman and
child who had taken up a position on
the corner near her house, the woman
turning u small organ in an effort to
attract a few pennies. She was actu-
ally sitting in the snow and she re-
mained there two hours, until one OF
the neighbors went out to her assist
ance. There was not a penny IN the
tin box on the organ and the woman
was frozen almost into insenslblllty.
The child was taken to a hospital,
where it subsequently died. There
was no romance about the matter. 1t
was q simple illustration of the awful
misery which has been the lot of the
poor during the recent cold weather III

Two REMARKABLE EPITApHs.-
The two most remarkable epitaphs in
the United States are those of Daniel
Barrow, of Sacramento, CAL, and that
of Hank Monk, Horace Greeley's stage
driver. The former reads as follows:
"Here is laid Daniel Barrow, who was
born in Sorrow and Borrowed little
from nature except his name and his
love TO mankind and his hatred for red
skins: Who was nevertheless gen.
tleman and dead shot, who through
q long life never killed his man except
in self.defense or by accident, and who
when he ut last went down under the
bullets of his cowardly enemies in jeff
NIorris's saloon, did so in the sure and
certain hope of glorious and ever
lasting morrow" Hank Monks cpl
taph reads thus: "Sacred to the men,
ory of Hank Monk, the whitest, big
pest-hearted and best-known stage
driver of the West, who was kind to
all and thought i'll of none. He lived
in strange era and was hero, and
the wheels of his coach are now ring
ing on the Golden Streets"
gas" Not long ago a citizen Of Atlanta
had house to let, and he got paint
brush and board, and hung out II
sign. reading, "To Wrent." Every
body who passed by smiled at the Or
biography, but it was three or four
davs before the owner ventured to ask
of ncighbor, Say, what on earth
makes everybody grin at that sign :.
"Why it's the spelling that gets EN-"
1t was explained that the word
"Wrent" was not exactly in accordance
with Wcbstcr's latest and the spell
er went away mumbling, "Wcll, if
they are so particular about it, ! can
change it," And he did. Within two
hours there was Il new sign reading
