How the thunder rolled and rever-
berated, while the rush and roar of
the wind helped make a din absolute
ly appalling, and the incessant glare
of lightning lit up the scene with
weird brilliancy, frightful in the
extreme.
With a cry of mortal fear the pony
dashed in among the trees, and Cor
had hard work to keep the saddle
and prevent his brains being dashed
out by coming in contact with the
branches.
Suddenly there came a moment
of absolute stiffness, and Wig slack
ened in his mad gait. Then there
came a fearful blaze of lightning
followed Immediately by crash
of thunder so appalling that the
broncho came to a stop, trembling
in every limb. At that instant Cor
was stunned and almost thrown
from his horse by a mountain lion
that dropped upon his back from an
overhanging tree.
Wig made another frightened
plunge forward, and twisting him
self in his saddle, Cor by tremen-
dous effort managed to wrench the
murderous claws from his shoulders.
At that moment there came another
fierce glare of lightning and the
pony saw a lynx in his pathway,
and swerving suddenly aside, hurl-
ed the lion directly on the lynx.
Cor heard their fierce growls as they
locked in deadly combat, and then
Wig carried him out of hearing.
OF the remainder of that wild
ride he ever after had but confused
recollection. The wounds made by
the lions claws, bled profusely
and faint, sick, drenched by the
pouring rain, he was chnging half
insensible to Wigs neck, when the
plucky little beast dashed up to the
cabin door just as the Hatleys were
sitting down to supper, having ex,
hausted conjecture as to why the
boy was so late in returning.
During the fever and delirium
that followed, Cor's rawlings were Sc
wild and startling, Ham followed
the trail through the timber t.

ing bloody trail, he came up will
a wounded mountain lion, and dis
patched him with a bullet from hi,
ever ready rifle, carrying home the
skin as trophy.
The shock the boys system hac
received, made recovery slow ant
tedious; but the events of that da,

He was content with home life an,

A Potato Duel.

One way of combating an evil
practice is tomake it look ridiculous.
1t was by this means that dueling
was stopped in IA certain district Of
kentucky some forty years ago.
At this time travelling preacher
named Bowman-a strong, muscu-
lar man-was conducting some SER
vices III Kentucky. At one of his
meetings well-known desperate
character created "a disturbance, and
being publicly rebuked by Bowman,
sent him challenge to fight.
Bowman, as the challenged party,
had the choice of weapons. He Sc
lected half-bushel of Irish potatoes
as big as his fist for each man, and
stipulated that his opponent must
stand fifteen PAGES distant, and that
only one potatato at a time should
be taken from the measure.
The desperate was furious at be-
ing thus freshly insulted, and made
an indignant protest, but Bowman
insisted that he was the challenged
man, and had a right to choose his
own weapons, and threatened to de-
nounce the desperate as a coward
if he failed to come to time. AS
there was no way out of the fix but
to fight, the desperate consented.
The fight took place on the out
skirts of the town.
Almost everybody in the place
was present to see the fun. The
seconds arranged the two men in po-
sition, by the side of each being
half-bushel measure filled with large,
hard, Irish potatoes.
Bowman threw the first potato.
1t struck his opponent in a central
spot, and flew into thousand pieces.
A yell of delight went up from the
crowd, which Hurried the desperate,
and his potato flew wide of the mark.
Bowman watched his chance, and
every time his opponent stopped for
a potato another one hit him in the
, side, leaving wet spot on his clothes
and then scattering to the four
, winds of heaven. He hit the des-
, perado about five times, and then the
r sixth potato struck him in the short
ribs, knocking the wind completely
out of him, and doubling him up OH
the grass.
The people were almost crazy with
, laughter, but Mr.. Bowman looked
as sober as if he had just finished
preaching funeral sermon. The
desperate was taken home and put
to bed, and there he stayed for more
than q week before he recovered
from the effects of his Irish potato
duel.
That was the end of dueling in
, that region.

Always at Sea.

There are quite a number of New
York men who think nothing of
crossing the ocean five or six times
a year, some merely for pleasure
and others in the course of their
business. One of the latter, an art
dealer, remarked as he stepped on
board Liverpoolllner: 'See that old
woman there? She'sa curious duck.
Nearly every time | have taken this
line she has been among the pas
sengers. / think she must be a dia-
mond expert or a smuggler of some
thing or other.
The woman referred to was seated
OH small leather cabin trunk, plac-
idly waiting. Whether she was 60
ing OH board or not no one could
guess from her manner. There was
no furry about her, and she watched
the preparations for departure with
an Indifferent languid eye. There
was nothing striking about her
dress. The gown was black silk or
alpaca; the rest of the attire was
dark and ladylike in style. Her
hair was white, and she had pleas
ant, contented, refined face.
Half an hour or so later young
woman, also dressed in dark clothes,
well designed and well made, came
tripping up behind the first one.
'Did you think / was going to be
late?" she asked with a smile.
NO." replied the elder; "but I pre-
ferred to sit here and watch the pas
sengers pass on. We have twenty
minutes yet, but might as well go
aboard" She called porter, who
shouldered the little leather trunk
and followed them across the gang
plank with it.
Evidently she was an experienced
traveller, for what woman is there
who would not be nervous about
catching steamer with only mar
gin of twenty minutesp That she
was smuggler, regularly coming
and going as such, was out Of the
question. The very frequency Of
her trips must have excited suspic-
ion. One of the revenue inspect
ors, when questioned, said: "Why,
we've seen her for years. She
comes on one steamer and goes back
by the next. She's no smuggler;
she's perfect little lady,"
An official of the company, who
probably knew all about her, was
very reticent. In an uptown club
a ships officer on leave remarked:
"Oh | can tell you all about the old
lady. She has crossed with me sew
eral times. There's no mystery
about it at all. II was this way:

Waiting.

Waiting.
A little face at the window,
When the lamps fash out In the street,
A little pale face waiting
The coming Of welcome feet;
A pressure Of baby fingers.
A shining Of golden hair,
A little laugh in the hallway,
A little trip on the stair.
A little pageant passing
Through the churchyard hush and still,
A little homo that Is empty,
A little grave by the hill,
A little season Of waiting,
OF weeping and wiping OF tears,
Till new star gently rising
Shines over the valley Of years.
In the CLEAN Of whose morn's awaking,
When the clouds and the shadows part,
With holier sunlight breaking
In peace on the mothers heart,
She will smile at the storm and darkness,
The clouds and the twilight star.
Meath sun that knoweth no setting
Where the souls Of her loved ones are.
