We are accustomed to read of In
dian bravery under the excitement of
battle, but seldom hear OF the ex-
hibition Of any noble qualities what
ever OH the part of the red man who
lives dependent life among the
whites. An act of hsSoism on the part
of lame little Indian boy in an Ore.
gon town is worthy Of note, for more
reasons than one.
On one of the last days of last
March, two ladies of The Dalles, Ore.
gon, Mrs. Buchler and Mrs. Gossler,
were out gathering wild flowers. They
were accompanied by little girl whose
name was Belot. On the way home
the party were passing over foot
bridge, across Mill Creek, the waters
of which were high, when the little
girl slipped aud fell into the stream,
and was instantly borne beyond reach
by the current.
The two ladies started to run down
the bank Of the stream, hoping for a
chance to rescue the child, when their
way was suddenly barred by high
and close barbed- wire fence. They
struggled to get over it, but failed.
Meantime they called loudly for help.
But there was no one within hearing
except a little crippled Indian boy
named Jim Busha. He came hobbliug
along on his crutches Oh the other side
of the fence. They asked him to go
in search of help, but when little Jim
saw the child in the stream, and how
necessary it was that whatever help
was given should be given instantly,
he preferred to supply the help him
self.
He rushed into the whirling water
ms far as he could 60, and held out his
crutch to the girl. She managed to
seize it, and Jim, holding in really
manful way to the footing that he had,
pulled the child near him, took her in
his arms, and brought her safely to
the shore.

up to this time the journey had been
very enjoyable. Now, however, he
was destined to meet with trials and
tribulations that would be worth tell
ing to his unborn grandchildren. He
knew nothing of these untamed range
cattle, and, alas, the cattle were equal
ly as Ignorant of scorching bicyclers.
The agent was making good time and
lifting q free and easy soul to heaven,
without single fear of the browsing
herds upon the rolling plains, when
all at once the proverbial change came
DER the spirit of his dreams. One of
the steers, more curious and observant
than the others, spied the strange
looking vehicle and was tempted to
follow it. By and by other cattle
joined in the chase, then the entire
herd became interested.
The agent began to grow nervous
and increased his speed, but this only
whetted the curiosity of the cattle, and
they pounded along after him at rste
that was incredible to the agent. The
situation grew decidedly alarming.
The mild inquistiveness of the steers
had changed to anger, and they were
going to run that peculiar species of
cowboy down if it took all summer.
Fortunately for the agent, the cowboys
on the range saw the peril, rode to his
rescue and succeeded in diverting the
cattle from the hapless rider. 1t is
probable that he will not care to can
vass in that part of the country any
more-not on his bicycle.

Making Charcoal,

The word charcoal is popularly ap-
Piled to the carbonaceous residue of
vegetable, animal, or mineral sub
stances, when they have undergone
smothered combustion. Wood char
coal is made by building up vertically
in two OF three rows so as to form q
large conicnl heap, sticks of wood cut
rs for fuel. This is covered over
with turf or moistened with charcoal
ash, and holes left at the bottom for mir
to get in. An open space is also left in
the middle of the heap to serve as n
fue. The heap is set on fire by put
ting burning wood into the top of the
central opening. The combustion
proceeds gradually from the top to
the bottom, and from the center to the
outside, and as the central portion
burns away, fresh wood is continually
thrown in at the top, so as to keep the
heap quite full. The smoke is thick
and white when the process is going
on properly. If it becomes thin, aud
especially if blue flame appears, the
wood is burning away too fast and
the combustion must be checked by
closing the holes at the bottom, or by
heaping fresh ashes on the top and
sides. As soon as the combustion is
completed the heap is entirely covered
with turf or ashes and left to cool for
two or three days. 1t is then taken
to pieces and the portions still hot are
cooled by throwing water or sand upon
them. The alder, the willow and the
boxwood are the woods in general use
for making charcoal.

Mountains Not Moved.

BOSTON. Mass. July 2l-The disturbing
reports concerning the possible transfer of
the White mountains region to private COM
mercial control need not interfere in the
slightest degree with the vacation plans OF
those who prefer the climnte and scenery Of
the New England highlands for their annual
summer outing. Mt. Washington and its
great and glorious company of brceze-swept
peaks are still there and there they will re
main until there are none left to enjoy vaca-
tioDs. Those who are planning to go to the
mountains this season will be interested
to know that never has there been such
general and concerted outlay Of money
and effort on the part of the hotel people for
the improvement of their well known host
leres. Nature has already done her full
share toward this end. and there Is no more
restful, healthful and generally delightful
region in the whole world than that
comprised under the general designation Of
"the White Mountains" The fast and lux
urious express trains of the Boston & Maine
railroad system bring tho tourist into sur
prisingly close touch with the mountain
region and those who contemplate the trip
should not fail to send to the general pas

sive, illustrated guide book. "Among the

OF her father, was s;rangled to death, out

house, and she was evidently followed
from the village. where she had made pur-
chascs. Suspccting that she was followed,
she doubtless topped from the road to eluds

P. d. Smith, an old book man, tells
most interesting story of how it feels
to be buried alive. For one hour he
lay at the bottom of a deserted mine
shaft and was only saved by dog that
whined and howled at neighbor's s
house. just after recent storm Mr..
Smith went prospecting in Deer can.
yon, branch of the Big Tejunga, in
the San Fernando range. He was re.
moving some timbers about the top OF
an old shaft, when the rotten wood
gave way and carried him to the bot.
tom of the shaft. A heavy load of tim.
Der and earth followed. Strange to
say, he was uuinjured and lay free
from immediate danger in the dark,
damp space left by the boards. Gloomy
were the thoughts that filed his mind
as he lay there, and the thoughts OF
his past life and the friends he would
never see again, for the shaft was one
which had been covered overhead and
lost to the knowledge of the neighbor-
hood for years. Moreover, it was q
mile and half from the nearest house.
Once or twice lie shouted, but his
voice sounded sepulchral as it echoed
in the mutfied way between the over
hanging walls and reverberated in his
ears. For one hour he lay there in
the cramped position, while gloomy
thoughts passed in frightful procession
through his mind.
Fortunately, his little dog was with
him. Boss is particularly intelli-
gent dog, aud after the accident to his
master went to the nearest house aud
acted SO strangely that Mr.. Walton,
the owner, followed him to the unfor.
tunate book mau. There he found and

THE TWO KINGS.

The king was riding home again
From many hard-fought field;
And the blow OF mace had half elfaceu
The dragon on his shield.
His armor was rusted, and dinted, ant
bent,
And hanging ut his side
From a baldric frayed was broken blade
But he rode through the town with pride
Before him there rode trumpetcr
Aud behind him, ten by ten,
With martial clank, came rank and rank,
Riding, his mail-clad men.
The streets of the kings good city
Were Loyalty thronged that day.
And caps were doffed and healths were
quaffed
As he rode with his proud array.
Before tavern man-atarms
Sat drinking the Rhenish wine:
"1ll not bend the knee, nor uncap," quote
he,
"King am I, too, by right divine"
They hailed him forth as the king passed
by:
"Now, what may your Judgment be,
Good our lord, on your slave, this churlish
Who uncaps not, nor bends the knce?"
The king drew rein on his charger tall,
And halted his mail-clad men;
His stern, sad face he turned for space
On that luckless wight, and then,
Sternly he spoke to the tossing crowd:
"No mans homage will compel,
II yesterday. in yon deadly fray,
L 4 7 ~
"Nay, nay, my lord" said the knavc,
"Thou art doughtiest in the land;
stand contest; twas sorry jest,
That knelt not, cap In hand.
"But yet, in the heart Of Lass Majorie,
Am king by right divine,
By our ladys name, l thought 1t shame,
To kneel to peer Of mine"
Then the good king laughed royal laugh,
And q kfngly oath swore he;
And his cap of steel. to his mailed heel.
He swung in his courtesie. e.
"Sir King, to thy kingshp dolf my helm;
Long live the king, l say.
In this realm Of thine. as in mine;
MAY ST tnou reign I'LL tiny latest day."
"But doff thy bonnet, Sir King" he said,
"Till l fill 1t with ruddy gold,
For king rules best where the treasure
chest
Is fullest, so have been told.'
The king rode on through the cheering
crowd,
With thoughtful and downcast eve,
As one who may feel memory steal
Upon him from days gone by.
But doubtless he pondered of kingcraft
deep
And his high affairs OF state,
As he and his men rode home again
To the ancient castle gate.

companion watched her for many min
utes in silence.
$50 you are engaged to be married?'
said the elder woman at length, as she
laid aside the painted screen with
which she had been shading her eyes
from the blazing logs, and turned her
gaze full upon the young girl.
"Not exactly engaged, Mrs. Walton.
He has asked me-about it. Somehow,
when the time came, found it more
difficult question to decide than had
ever supposed it to be, and 1 asked
him to wait little while and let me
think it over. He is coming to-day at
four o'clock for an answer. Oh, Mrs.
Walton, it is serious matter, after al /,
isn't it? What shall L say?"
The woman of the world smiled sad
ly.
"You are right, my DEAR" she said.
'It is serious question. The great
trouble is that so many people do not
consider it so. Do you love him?"
"Oh, yes, very dearly. lam miserable
without him. When he is away 1 wish
he were here. count the hours until
he will come again. I" She paused
and blushed deeply at the innocent
confession.
'But with all that" she added, after
short pause, 81 wonder if l love him
enough. Tell me, Mrs. Walton, what
the depth of ones love should be to
insure its endurance and ones conse-
quent happiness"
Mrs. Walton removed her eyes from
the beautiful, pleading face, and rested
her head in her hands for time, as if in
deep thought.
ooh, my dear, my DEAR" she said
impulsively, looking up with sudden
start and drawing her chair nearer the
earnest inquirer, "lon't you know that
You have come to me, pronounced
cynic, with the most difficult problem
that has vexed the human race for
ages ? Can Isolve it for you? Shall
l try to solve it, or shall 1 bid you take
no further heed of the matter, but
marry, and learn afterward? No, no,
my dear, 1 cannot do that. How much
ought you to love him? Out of justice
to yourself, and at the risk of convert
ing you into cynic, too, I shall answer
you according to my own experience
and that of hundreds OF other women
whom have known.
"In the first place, you must love
him so much that you can bear to see
his love grow cold. Do not shudder
and shrink away, my dear; it must
come, sooner or later. Otherwise, he
is not normal man, for the capacity
Of Indifference is one of the standards
by which modern manhoodis measured
Every marriage which is not COM
plete failure, must be sanctifed by a
certain measure OF love, and this must
not be diminished; so, as his affection
grows weaker, yours must not only en-
dure, but must strengthen and increase,
that the deficiency may be made up.
You must love him 80 much that you
can bear to see the lover who is rest
less if you are ont of his sight for a
moment, be gradually transformed in
to the friend who is content to dis
pense with your society for three. four.

of his less fortunate friends. 1t is re.

his hand, and exclaimed: why, how

showed very little effect of advancing

"why. don't you know me, old boy ?
We were classmates" Augier greeted

present: well. knew that man was
