CATCHING A WILD HEIFER.

She Charges SkilIfuI Man and is Flipped
Over in Jiffy.
In Washington county, Maine, between
New Stream and the East Machias river, tho
townsmen of Northfleld and Whitneyville
have had considerable fun since October
chasing a wild heller which strayed from
Bartlett Albee's farm in Northfleld some time
last summer, says the New York Sun. She
displayed ali the alertness and saSacity Of
game animals in Guiding capture Dogs
were put on her in November, but instead OF
circling as deer do when pursued by hounds.
she Iut straightaway like a carbon, TO re-
main Tor weeks aWaf from her accustomed
localities.
Saturday a week ago there was heavy
snowstorm in that part OF the country. and
report having come to Whitneyviile that the
heifer, a shadow of her former self. had been
sighted in the woods near the confluence OF
Old and New Streams. which empty into the
Machias east of Norrhfeld. Thomas Hennes-
sey and Jim Healey, accompanied by some
boys, started out TO capture her.
Hunger had driven the animal from the
woods to the clearings. but nothing could in
duce her to come near a human being. When
sighted Hennessey ana Healey gave chase on
sno@shoes, the deep snow making rapid
progress for the heifer out Of the question.
She ran, however, until her pursuers were
close on her quarters. when she suddenly
turned to give battle. Her beilowings were
horriIic, and she looked so frightiul when
she turned that Hennessey and the boys gave
way.
Healey was game Two years ago she

eyed IN iuroqsy for Il moment and charged.
When she lowered her head 10 give him the
toss Healey grasped 10th of her horns, threw
all the weight OF his body on mis- lett hand,
hearing the heifer's head into the snow, ut
the same time pushing up and over on the
LETT horn. It's trick that has to be done on
the instant, and when it is worked as Healey
worked it down goes the animal, as did the
heifer.
Heaiey held her head in thu snow while
Henne5sey and the boys procured ropes with
which TO tie her legs together. This being
done, she was bundled onto sled and taken
to Northlield. where she is now putting on
fat and getting used to her earlier sur
roundings.

my lord, they await the signal"


But the Duke waved him aside impa-
tiently and gaZed still across the square.
And, seeing his Highness thus gazing
intcnt,y the master of the household and
the physician and all the rest who were about
the Dukes person looked also, and they
saw the Lady Lucia coming forth from
her house, clad all In white. Antonio
saw her also from where he stood on the
scaffold, for the people made way for
her, and the pikemen let her pass through
their ranks, so that she walked along
across the middle OF the great square,
and the eyes of all leaving Antonio were
fixed upon her. Her face was very pale,
and her hair fell on her shoulders, bat she
walked firmly and swiftly, and she turned
neither to the right nor left, but made
straight for the spot where the Duke
lay. And he seeing her coming moaued
once and passed his hand thrice across
his eyes, and raised himself yet higher
on his arm, leaning toward her over the
side of the bed. Again he passed his
hand across his brow and the physician
regarded him very intently, yet dared
not again seek TO rouse his attention,
and imposed silence on the master of the
household who had asked him in low tones
What ails his Highness?'

under strain so great, and they should
by force prevent his going TO the city.
Therefore, lac told them TO rest quiet in
their camp, while he, with Bena, went
about certain necessary business and he bade
them farewell, enJoining them most strictly
to do nothing against the Duke.

But, VIII the Duke pardon you also, my

swered Antonio ''And be assured that l

And having said this, he shook every
man by the hand, thanking them for the
love and service they had shown him, and
he and Bena were accompanied by all of
them to the foot OF Mt. Agnino, and there,
in The early morning of the appointed day,
Antonio mounted his horse and rode with
Bena into the plain. And as they rode,
Bena said 10 him.
My lord, why does the Duke grant this
pardon?"
Because I give him what he asks as the
price of IL, BeDa," answ cred Antonio,
and they rode on for a while. But when
Bena saw that Antonio turned his horse
not toward Rilano, but directly across
the plain toward Forniola, lie said:
my lord, whittier are we riding?"

swered Antonio. There is no cause for
fear; we 60 by leave and on the invitation OF

The Washington times., 1895-03-24

In all that i have written concerning
Count Antonio 1 have striven TO say that
only which is surely based in truth and
attested by credible witnesses, and have left
on one side the more marvellous tales such
as the credulity OF ignorance and the fond
license OF legend are wont TO weave. But
as TO the manner of his return there is
no room for uncertainty, for the whole ac-
count OF il was recorded in the archives OF
the city by order of Duke Valentine the
Good, son and successor Of that duke who
outlawed Antonio, TO which archives /,
Ambrose, have have fun access, and have
now free permission 10 make known so
much OF them as may serve for the fun
understanding OF the matter, and this same
task is one to which I set my pen will
fngly, conceiving that the story is worthy
OF being known TO every man i'm the duchy;
for, while many may censure the things
that Antonio did in the days of his sojourn
in the hills, there can, think, be none
that VIII not look with approval on his
bearing in this last nap Of fortune. Indeed,
me was a gallant gentleman, and if for
that ] forgive him his sins too readily, in
like manner may our good ST. Prisian in
tercede that my sins be forgiven me.
Five years had the count lived in the hills;
five years had the Lady Lucia mouned in
the city: five years had Duke Valentine laid
plans and schemes. Then il fell out that a
sickness came upon the city and the country
round il; many died and more were sore
stricl-oD and hy the n,arov Of God narroU-l1-
escaped. Among those that suffered was
the Duke himself, and at the same time a
certain gentleman, 10y name Count Philip,
OF Garda, a friend OF Antonio's, and yet an
obedient servant TO the Duke. Now. when

the cause of his mysterious disappearance

for period OF four days-a circumstance
which gave rise to much unpleasant con

employees of the menagerie, Mr.. Winkletree
was captured with the other bipeds and kept
in captivity for four days, unable to make
himself understood because of his fine
