made a beginning toward escape. It
was all we could do to restrain ourselves
from eating the pork, and we had di-

1t had not only been raining all the
afternoon, as we subsequently ascer-
tanned, but toward night there was some
thing like a cloudburst. Our ravine was
a natural drain from the high ground at
the north to a bit of valley at the south.
Il being o%bstructed, the water damned
back until it was several feet deep over
five acres of ground. AS soon as it

in the evening after the dirt had been
loosened up, the dam gave way with a
great crash, and the waters poured
through the ravine like a millrace. It
was deep enough to food into cur drift
until it was up to our ears, and for ten
minutes we expected to be drowned like
rats in a hole. When we could crawl
out into the ravine we found a foot of
water running through it, as it was still
raining, but the ru0h had cleared it of
everything which had fallen from above.
Rocks weighing half a ton had been
rolled into the valley like pebbles.
We did not leave our shelter till
morning, and then it was to find the
Indians gone. No doubt they felt sure
they had put an end to us, and but for
the cloudburSt We should have left our
bones there. We got away to Austin and
offered our mine for a thousand dollars
five hundred-one hundred. No one
wanted it at any price. Years eft1r,

A Ma - Hat,

There is a point on every mans head
where that particular mAu should wear
his hat. : Some men can wear their hats
we'll down, close to the eyebrows, and
look we'll in doing SO. Other mems APP
pearance would be fatally ruined by
wearing their hats so low.
Now and then a man can a lopt an
irregular pose for his hat, sidewise,
"down in 'front.'" or a little back, and
not lose caste as a reputable me nber of
society. All the same, whatever posi-
tion of the hat is found to be becoming
and comfortable should be ad !ared to,
and no new hat accepted which loes not
reach and stop at that point.
In determining the proper Int bear
ing it is well to take a side view as we'll
as a front view of ones self wit the hat
on. The hat should come d va low
enough to take a firm grip on the head

jaw Gould's Traits of Character.

An acquaintance of Mr.. Gould says
that a remarkable trait in his character
was that fierce instinct for family so con
spicuous in General Grant, but which
has never found the same occasion for
its exercise. When he came home from
his office his wife was always awaiting
him. In the country, il entertaining
guests, Mrs. Gould would disengage her.
self for this moment of homecoming.
After Mrs. Gould's death, her dau inter
Helm took her place, and no enticement
without ever prevented her from vel
coming her father on his return nome.
His womankind were kept aparestrom all
considerations of business. AT Mrs.
Gould's death her fortune, which was
considerable, was still invested IS it was
left her by her father. In no Weiss tude
was Mr.. Gould ever tempted to touch it.
He abhorred all business dealings with
women. This dates from an experience
early in his career on the market. Two
maiden aunts up in the country sent him
their savings, $500, to speculate for
them in stocks. He did 50, and lost it.
The money was strictly returned to them,
aid at no. inconvenience to Mr.. Gould.
But this was not business; it seemed TO
open depths which might become deeper.
He was frequently entreated afterward
by women who were near to him, as by
women outside, but his dealings thence
forth were with men. In one respect
Mr.. Gould wa said to resemble RenaD,
who, when he utterly disapproVej of au

proceeded to etface all that he had put
