her, for she certainly looked anything but Q

A FIGHT WITH A LYNX.


Jim Ferry Had IA Desperate >trug;lc With

The ugl1Nst Appearing animal that
aver walked Il log, killed Il rabbit IL
fought a trap is the lynx, which Is just

anything that walks the woods, but it
will also tackle avisitor from the clear

calf, if the occasion offers.
Jim Berry was hunting up in Maine,
about 40 miles north of Greenville,
when he and his friend suddenly came
upon the carcass of IA caribou which g
bear was eating. The bear made itself
scarce, much to Jim = regret, as he
wanted to kill the bear. Without say
ing anything to his friend he left camp
the next day and started for the carcass,
intending to watch it, in the hope that
the bear would return. He waited and
watched until about 3 o'clock in the,
afternoon, when he began to think Of
returning 70 camp. A soft football back
in the woodS-the crafty step of some
wild animal-just then sounded in his
ears. Pretty soon the bear was chewing
the caribou meat, and Jim could see it
plainly. He leveled his buckshot gun
and pulled the trigger. when the wab-
bling muZzle was pointed in what he
thought was the right direction. The
beast went down, and jim started for it.
Then he stopped, with his mouth open.
The beast had lcappd to his feet and
jumped sideways, with its back up.
Jim knew the yell, and he also recog
nized the bumped back. 1t was a wound
ed lynx spelling for "A fight. Not having
time TO level his gun to shoot, the man
dubbed it, and the blow stunned the
cat q little. but the beast got in IL rake

him that he wanted to borrow 81, 600

Mr.. B. told him that he would not

Il see you or your wife calling negroes

day to hitch your rigs up to 60 to Lex

their field work to drive load of corn

and drive the wagon of corn yourself.
then GO to the bank and ask for what
you want" " The man went, according
to directions, and after he had sold bis
corn he went to the bank and asked for
the $4,000. Mr.. r. T. Anderson, one
of the directors, was present and with
out asking any questionssaid. "Any man

IN NEWGATE PRISON.

Elixabeth's Bay.
In St Nicholas there is an interest
ing story, master Skylark," a narra-
tive Of Shakespeare's time, written by
John Bennett. One of the leading char.
acters, CASTOR Carew, a rufi1ing player,
has been put in Newgate for killing q
companion at cards. The hero, Nick
Atwood. the Skylark. visits him there.
1t was foul, dark place and full Of
evil smells. Drops Of water stood on
the cold stone walls, and a green mold
creps along the floor. The air was
heavy and dank. and it began to be
hard for Nick to breathe.
up with thee." said the turnkey
gruff1y, unlocking the door to the stairs.
The common room above was packed
with miserable wretches The strongest
kept the window lodges near light and
air by sheer main force and were dicing
on the dirty sill. The turnkey pushed
and banged his way through them,
Nick clinging desperately to his jerkin.
In the cell at the end of the corridor
there. was Spanish renegade who rail-
ed at the light when the door was OPEN
ed and rallied at the darkness when it
closed. "Cesare el Moro, Cesare el Mo-
ro," he was saying over and over again
to himself, as if he feared he might for
get his own name.
Carew was in the middle cell, ironed
hand and foot. He had torn his sleeves
and tucked the lace under the rough
edges of the metal to keep them from
chatting the skin. He sat on pile of
dirty straw, with his face in his folded
arms upon his knees. By his side were q
broken biscuit and an empty stone jug.
He had his fingers in his ears to shut
out the tolling of the knell for the men
who had gone to be hanged.
The turnkey shook the bars. Here,
wake up" he said.
Carew looked up. His eyes were
swollen, and his face was covered with
two days beard. He had slept in his
clothes, and they were full of broken
straw and creases. But his haggard face
lit mp when he saw the boy. and he
came to the grating with an eager ex
clamation: "And thou hast truly come
to the man thou dost hate so bitterly
but will not hate any more? Come.
Nick. thou will not hate me any more.
Twill not be worth thy while, Nick.
The night is coming fast"
"Why, SIR" said Nick, cit is not &C
dark outside-'tis scarcely noon, ani
thou wilt soon be OUT
"Out? Ay, on Tyburn hill, said thu
master player quietly. "I've spent my
whole life for a bit of hempen cord
I've taken y'last cue. Last night, a

The durability Of this timber is foroi-
bly, illustrated by fallen trunks that are
perfectly sound after lying in the damp
woods for centuries. Soon after these
trees fall they are overgrown with mess,
in which seeds lodge and germinate and
grow up into vigorous saplines, which
stand in a row ON the backs Of their
dead ancestors. OF this company Of
young trees perhaps three or four will
grow to full stature, sending down
straddling roots on each side and estab-
fishing themselves in the soil, and after
they have reached an age of 200 or 800
years the downtrodden trunk on which
they are standing, when cut into, is
found as fresh in the heart as when it
fell-John Muir in Century.
