THE ~"HUNTING" COW.
How a Nebraska Man Deceives the WHIP
Geese.

How a Nebraska Man Deceives the WHIP
Hunting Cow" is the name given by
John Sievers of Ames, Neb., to a unique
device for sportsmen, says the New
York World. The finest wild-goose
hunting in the United States is found
in the meadows of Nebraska. The fowl
are very knowing, and distinguish the
figure of a hunter a long distance,
~Whereupon they fly away. Horses,
cattle and sheep are not feared by the
geese, and they Craze in the very midst
of the 1ocks of birds. Inventor Sievers
has taken advantage of this by con-
structing a machine outwardly re-
sembling a cow. The frame is made of
very light willow, covered with canvas,
painted reddish brown and white. An
opening near the front legs permits
the hunter to enter. His head fits in
a. hat-like frame which supports the
head of the cow. A hole in the fore
head permits him to see. When the
hunter walks the kinds legs automat-
ically keep step with the forelegs and
the tail switches realistically. The
head can be moved by the hunter in
any direction. When a field is reached
in which a flock of geese are feeding
the hunter inside the Cow" Stimulates
the movements Of grazing cattle until
within gunshot of the game. By draw
ing a bolt the fore part of the cow falls
his gun at short range. The inventor
asserts that other game than geese may
be successfully stalked by the
mechanical COW. The device will sell
for $50. 1t is to be so made as to be
easily taken apart and packed for
transportation.

"You shall ascertain for yourself"
answered Walter suddenly. Il intend
ed to leave my fathers life for her to
read. You may read it tonight, and
then answer me If I am not justified in
refusing to clasp that woman's hand.
Nay, send me word before eight in the
morning, and If after learning that sor-
rowful story you bid me apologize to
Mrs. Dacre, | declare solemnly | will do
1t. / shall only agitate you by remain
ing longer. You know my wish respect
ing the manuscript, which / will send
to you Immediately, Lady Eleanor. Do
not grieve for such a hapless soul as
mine. God bless you! Goodnight"
Walter returned to his own lodgings,
dispatched a messenger with-the manu-
script to Collinwood House, and sat
down to write what he believed his last
message to Eleanor. He was interrupts
ed by the %viscount.
81 have just seen Dacre," said he.
H wishes to change the hour OF meet
ing, and make it as early certainly as
seven. The rumor has got out, and he
fears a police interruption. Have you
any objection?"
None" briefly responded Walter,
keeping on with his writing.
"Ah, Vermont, I cannot bear to think
what may happen to this hand of yours,
so magical with the brush. For mer-
cy's sake give me some little word of
apology"
apology pshaw! That woman
knows what she is about. There can be
no apology; she thinks my death will
make her safe. Leave me, my kind
friend, if you have no better consolation
than that"
The viscount took his hat and left the
room without another word.
Only once; through that feverish,
restless night was Walter disturbed. A
servant came to the door, saying a
strange man below wished to see him
Immediately. Not suspecting it was a
messenger from Lady Annabel, but
imagining it had something to do with
the police detention, he refused to see
him..

The Neustretter.

'"The Neustretter." who stirred the
Bots and Champs Elysee loungers with
envy of her clothes and turnouts what
time the Vanderbilt divorce was on the
tapis, is again in evidence with equip
ages of the newest and finest, and an
ether New York millionaire has set the
tongues Of tout Paris wagging.
The funny part of the affair is that
the millionaire accredited with the
present episode is well past the half
century and up tc the present time has
lived with the regularity of an old-time
New England deacon, without a sus-
picion of wild oats about him.
In his youth and early manhood,
when fredaines are to be expected, he
lives in the odor of responsibility, al
though a man of great wealth, wide
travel and yachting propensities and
now-Ichabod!
Well, humanity is a curious COM
pound and men make queer breaks. In
this present case a number of cognate
and connected sinners are chuckling
and conversely several aristocratic
families, whose names are synonymous
with the straight and narrow path, are
plunged into the depths of gloom

He went about his toilet duties with a
sort of stolid calmness, wound his
watch with. scarcely a throb of pain,
when the thought that long before it's
ticking ceased his hand might be cold
in death. Then, after a hasty cup Of cof-
fee, he wrapped himself in his cloak
and wentforth to the appointed rendez-
vous with his second.
Somerset was waiting for him with a
cabriolet. When they reached the field
they found Dacre waiting there. The
moor looked black and dreary in the
dripping rain, without the pleasant
prospect clear weather CAV it. missing
sorely the bright glimpse of the
Thames, the huge city with st. Paul's
noble dome rising out of the smoky belt
below, and the white-winged fleet wait
ing around the wharves, like carrier
doves ready for their mission.
Silently the ground was measured,
the glittering weapons examined and
handed to their owners. Walter folded
his arms over his with a scornful smile.
Then was raised the fatal handkerchief
and an awful stiffness settled a mo-
ment on the air, but it was broken sud-
cenly by a wild scream IL 4 woman's
voice.
All turned in alarm. A carriage came
tearing through the misty &iai;J3. 2P
coachman lashing recklessly the plung-
ing horses. Scarcely a moment after
its appearance the door was flung open
and a woman sprang frantically into
their midst. What was the astonish-
ment of all to see, as she flung back her
veil, the surprisingly beautiful, but
ashy white and mournful face of Lady
Annabel Collinwood. She sprang to
Walters side.
Thank God, I am not too late! Rash
boy!w she added, with unutterable pa
thos. For what shadow would you
peril the life that is dear to Eleanor?
1 have read your fathers woeful story,
and yet I say you must apologize to Mr..
Dacre and leave this dismal place."
Apologize-for refusing the hand of
Annabel Marston-never!" calculated
Walter, firmly.
Hush, hush, Paul Kirkland's SON
it is I who am the Annabel Marston OF
his story"
Had a thunderbolt fallen at Walters
feet? He stood transfiXed in astonish-
ment, staring wildly into her face. The
pistol dropped from his nerveless grasp,
but no word came from his paralyzed
tongue.
