I'll finally II rested upon the ledge. They
agreed that one was TO let the other down
to secure the eagles. The elder tied the
the rope about his body. and the younger
lowered him carefully until his feet We're
on the ledge. AS he walked along toward
the nest he saw the rope suddenly tossed
over the cliff; instinctively ne steadied
himself, caught the rope and nUlled II
In. He was alone. with a precipice above
and q precipice below. on q narrow ledge,
with no living thing but himself and the
half-grOwn eagles. BY and by the old
eagles returned and seeing the intruder,
were inclined to be hostile; but the man
was careful not to anger them. and when
they went away again he secured a part
of the game they had brought to their
young.
Days wore on. and the mans life was
sustained by the food the old eagles
brought; but his distress from thirst was
great. so he cleared out the little hollows
in the rock to catch the rain. covering
them carefully TO prevent evaporation.
young eagles became accustomed 10 his
cOmpanionship and the touch of his hand,
but by and by the time came when they
were ready to fly. and death looked the
lonely man In the face. He resolved TO
make an effort TO reach the ground. He
had hidden his rope in a crevice in the
Abth " hN'N II rum vi y ms Nf INV
tied it firmly about his body. fastening
each end strongly 10 an eagle, leaving
sufficient length between the birds and
himself to give full play TO their wings.
He reasoned that If the eagles were not
able to fly with his weight they would
break his fall by their endeavors to save
themselves. At all events Il was death
to remain upon the ledge after they had
gone. When all was ready, with his bow
and CULVER fastened upon his neck. he
pushed the wondering eagles off their
nest over the cln, and they bore their
strange burden down. down the canyon,
and finally, weary with their enforced
flight, alghted upon a tree at the bot
tom. The man took a feather from
each Of his preservers and released them;
then he swung himself down through the
branches to the ground. and taking the
shortest trail to his home, came upon his
brother and his wife sitting together out
side the tent 1t took but a moment to
send an arrow through the unsuspecting
man who had so cruelty betrayed him;
then, confronting the woman. in inten-
sity OF hope, he asked. Are you glad
have Gomez" She was silent, but her
face told him the truth, and a second ar
row pierced her heart. Her body fell
over the PROSTATE form Of the younger
brother before any one in camp realized
that he who had long been given up as
dead had returned to avenge his grievous
wrongs.

alton from heaven that he was 70 become

late was taken aback; then he showed him
self equal to the emergency. With "A very
sober face he assured his visitor that such

that they had been REVEALED TO only one of

1t seems to me that no bright woman
should need to resort to the pop direct, for
if she has her wits about her she may
bring her lover to the point on almost any
occasion. A clever turn Of the converse
ton, the quick manipulation of a casual
remark, and the thing is done. Here is a
case or two in point:
A somewhat backward young man. while
calling on his lady love one evening, in

cooking.
"Oh, nicely" she said; Il can make a

young fellow ignorantly rushing on his
fate. What kind do you like best?" Il

and citron and beautifully frosted on the

he. That's what / meant" she replied
demurely and. of course, there was moth

then and there.

a few months later they were married.
A good story is told of a western girl,
whose young man was very backward

remarked that she was a mind reader.
OF course, he asked her to exercise her
talent upon him. Certainly" she re-

ask me to be your wife, but you are
little bit scared at the idea" The trick
was clever, and it succeeded.

budget, and with these / will conclude.
A bashful young peasant was greatly
captivated by the charms of a pretty girl,
and he was exceedingly anxious to marry
her, but, somehow, he could never
screw his courage up to the popping poin,.
At length, however, he hit upon a plan;
he would make proxy of the family
cat:
Pussy said he. taking the creature up
on his knee, Il wish you'd ask your mis-
tress if she will marry me-" Pussy" said
the girl, with amazing promptness, Il
wish you would tell him yes"
A young lady and her dancing partner,
while sitting together in the conserva-
tory got to talking about ages. 80 you
would not take me TO be 20?' said she.
What would you take me for. them"
For better or worse" said he as quicx
as flash, and he was accepted.

AN INDIAN ROMANCE.
Two Brothers Who Loved the Same
Maiden.
From the Centurv

from the Century.
In couples and in small companies the
Indians hunted the deer. elk and antelope;
and while the danger was always pres
ent, tragedies sometimes occurred IN
which neither wild beasts nor inimicaI
tribes had part, but which arose from feel
ings and impulses common to human
nature. The following well-authenticat-
ed adventure took place in the last centu-
~. Two brothers loved the same woman.
She favored the younger. but by some
means the elder took her to wife. They
were married in the fall of the year, and
winter passed by, and one day in spring
the brothers went forth to hunt together
Walking near the breaks Of Clearwater
the elder stopped to look over the edge
Of the canyon, where, a thousand feet
below, the river glistened IN the morn
ing sun. Half way down the rocky wall
upon ledge that juted out from the sheer
face of the precipice, he saw a nest OF
who returned, and looked down upon the
lest. Il know what 1 will do" he said;
Il will make a rope"
So the two set to work. They stripped
the bark from the willows, and plated
II into rope strong enough to hold a man.
Tnis done, they threw one end over the
precipice to see If it was long enough to
reach the nest; but it fell far short Then

From narper's Weekly.

Mr.. James Figg, native of OXfOrdshire,
seems to have been the first professional
brUiser who attained any great promi-
nence in England. He was distinguished
by his victories over all his provincial
competitors in the arts of single-stick and
cudgel-playing, before he went to the me-
tropolis to teach the nobility and gentry
of that period the manly arts of self
defense with the broadsword and the fists.
He fought twice, with gloves, with SUIT
ton, the pipemaker of Gravesend, an d one
each with Tom Buck and Bob Stokes. His
portrait was engraved in mezzo-tint by
Faber. Hogarth in the second plate Of
the Rake's Progress, perpetuated his face
and figure and also introduced him curl
ously enough, on horseback. in Southwick
fair, with his head well plastered.
Figg's amphitheater was in Mary-le-
Bone Parish, near the oxford road. and
bear-baiting. tiger-hunting, cock-fght-
ing, dog-fighting and human fighting were
among the attractions of the place.
Mrs. Stokes, the city championess, ac-
cording to an old advertisement. chal-
lenged the Hibernian championess to meet
her at Figg's; and there are frequent
illusions to similar encounters Of the
pugilistic sort among the members Of the
gentler sex of those days.
In 1868 we are told that two women
fought for a new shift, valued at half a
crown. in Spa Fields, near Islington, and
that the battle was won by "Bruising Peg
who beat her antagonist in a terrible
manner. And in the summer of the same
year we learn that in the same ring two
women. whose names are not given,
fought IAN extraordinary battle with two
tailors for a guinea a head"
