His "Sheer.n

The distinction Of being the richest
and meanes+ man in the town in which
he lived belonged to old Andy Scraggs.
No one questioned his right to this hon.
or when old Andy's wife died and he
went to four different undertakes, try
ing to get them to make him coffin
for $5 out of some worm eaten old black
walnut boards he had kept in his barn
for 20 years "for that very purpose, - as
he admitted.
When he was worth over $3.50, 900, a
committee went to him to solicit some
thing for widow with six little chill
dren who had been burned out of house
and home and who had not penny in
the world nor change of clothing for
her children or herself
"I'm dreadful sorry for her," said
old Andy, dreadful sorry, and I agree
with you that it's right for her friends
and neighbors to help her out I'll do
my sheer, gentlemen; I'll do my sheer. !"
He was making his usual five or six
tons of mapIe sugar at the time, and,
after q few moments reflection, he said:
'1'u tell you what I'll do. I'll send
her over two quarts o. maple strip if
she'll be sure to send back the jar I'll
have to put it in. I think that'll be

An Occult Study Of Rubies.

The ruby, as indeed every other
gem, had its magical properties in
those old times when occultism YVES an
article Of faith. The oriental ruby de-
fed both poison and the plague. Worn
on the person or ground to powder and
drunk as drug it preserved the wearer
and the swallower from that ever pres
ent danger Of poison, that ever present
fear Of the plague. When misfortunes
and evil days threatened the wearer, 1t
lost its brilliancy and became sad and

the 9Th day of October, 1900 after the

she had given meg lost repeatedly and
each time almost completely its splen-

"'It is up there, four suns from here.
All, senior, beware of None uanish'
Then, with the characteristic look
Of an Indian when he discusses the
mysterious or supernatural, Ramon
told me of the wonderful place. Its
name meant unknown, he said There
according to my guide, was a wide
stretch of tableland, covered with
grass and flowers different from any
others. Vast herds of antelope roam
ed over it, but no Indian would go
near the place and no white man ever
heard of it.
"In former times a band of young
Indians laughed at the warning Of the
sages, and pursued a herd of antelope
into the enchanted place. They never
returned. No man ever knew their
fate. Some years afterward a herd of
antelope came out of Mon-eguanish
at the wrong season, and one or two
were killed, The slayers partook Of
the meat, and Immediately lost their
reason. Their voices were lost, and
the only sound they could make was a
sound like that of the antelope. The
antelopes were not afraid of them, but
would run and join them. the wild
people ran around aimlessly, nibbling
at grass, and would run from other
Indians.O Their hair, eyebrows and
nails fell off, and after wandering
around for seven days they died.
Their bones were found, and the find
ers placed ring of stone around each
skeleton. Since then the spots were
accounted haunted, and no Indian
would go near them.
81 was much diverted by the story
and told Ramon 50. Twas surprised
to hear him discuss so learnedly of the
legends of his tribe.
"'Yous know we'll the ways of ami

SO he will bite the little antelope with
great poison
"We went back to the fawn, which
was still Juggling at its bonds. Ra-
mon began to make buzzing sound
with his lips, which seemed to arouse
the snake at once. It wriggled and
ratified and darted it's black tongue.
Taking the loose end of the horsehair
RATA, Ramon rubbed the course, rough
hairs against the snakes sleek hide.
This seemed to drive it into frenzy
of rage. Its wicked eyes fairly blazed,
its rattles vibrated SO swiftly that the
sound became identical with the buz-
zing noise emitted by the tormentor,
and the muscular body wrapped
around the Indian like whiplash.
Ramon released the antelope from
the sapling, but still held the RATA
which encircled the neck of the tremb-
ling little wretch. 1t ran to the end
of the rope, and Ramon, with a sud-
jerk, flung the Kissing snake under the
fawns feet The poor little fellow
jumped, but too late, and the snake
held on until frantic kick sent it fly
ing into the tules.
The antelope darted hither and
thither, uttering such piteous means
that my heart was touched. We hur-
ried here and there to give it plenty
of rope. On the slope of the bank the
fawn found what it wanted. 1t be-
gan to eat ravenously of bunch of
grass growing there, and stamped up
on the leaves and bruised them and
rolled upon them. Its moaning ceas-
ed, but it continued to eat for ten or
fifteen minutes. Then it lay down on
the bruised grass and licked the
wound.
II had heard of plants like the yer
ba santa, golondrina, chicharo, and
others that the Indians and Mexicans
hold as specifics for various poisons,
but I never knew that the instinct of
animals led them to seek a remedy
when poisoned.
"'There,' said Ramon, He will not
die. His belly will be great, but be
will not die. He will stay here all day

eve decided to travel that night, as
it was cooler than in the day time, and
the bright moonlight made it as light
as day. Before we struck out we went
up to see how the antelope had Jared.
It was not in sight. Ramon pointed
to it's tracks, leading to the rest of the
herd.
"'See his feet we're mixed with pois-

philosopher. He was drunk with

cine without the poison it will make
