rage, and the girls answering cry of triumph.
 Catherine had captured the panther. A girl had trapped the beast that he had failed to shoot! You crazy grill What did you do that for?" Rob had reached her side and was shaking her fiercely before the partners scream had stopped echcing through the woods.
 What for?" she repeated, laughing and crying hysterically. "Why, some body had to do it. There was mother, you know, and father, and all the rest of them!"
 So that was it. To keep the terrible creature away from the others, this timid girl had boldly taken her own life in her hands. And Rob confessed to himself with secret shame that he had not once thought of father or mother, or of anybody but himself. What was that Dave Brant had said about the girls and the women? There was littla time to think of all
 that, however. Catherine's explanation was hardly uttered before another com- motion arose inside the cabin. This was | not the shrleking of the panther, but

THEY HAD A WRANGLE.
Meeting Called to Consider Scholarships Fell to
 Discussing Private Claims.

Special to The Age-HeraTd.
 Montgomery, Sept. 1S.-The board of trustees of the Montevallo Girls school met in called session at the governors office today, only five members out of the thirteen being present. the governor and Messrs. Moody, Wadsworth, Alsuon and Mcqueen. While the meeting was
 called to specially consider the matter
 of free scholarship, that turned out to
 be matter of small interest conrparsd d
 with wrangle over paying to Presi-
 dent Reynolds a little over $1 000, which
 was lost in the Commercial bank fail ure at Selma.
 Tho money lost by Capt. Reynolds was not part of the school funds, but per- sonal money belonging to pupils, which they deposited with the president for safe keeping. It was their money to pay board with and so on, and 1t was his custom to keep it for them. He lost it in the bank failure, but made 1t good to the girls. At two previous meetings of the board motions were made to pay
 this money to President Reynolds, but failed. At the commencement, with eleven members present, it received but little support and was withdrawn. At
 the meeting today 1t was renewed, and passed by a vote of to g. the governor and MT. Moody voting no. The gov- ernors opposition was so emphatic that
 he had his written protest spread on | the minutes.
 | The money is to be paid out of inci- dental fees collected by the president. Acting on the opinion of Attorney Gen.
 eral Fftts. the board decided that the act calls for free tuition only in the county scholarships, and for free board and tuition for one girl from each con- gressionaI district These district schol-
 arships will be assigned at the regular annual meeting next commencement. Three hundred free scholarships will be
 apportioned equftab1y among the coun- ties.

A REAL TEST OF COURAGE.
One Girls Way of Proving That All Girls Are No,
 Cowards.

From the Philadelphia Times.
 It was still early in the evening, but as dark as it would be at midnight in the woods around the Walton camp And yet Dave Brant sat on the other side of the campfire and told the most bloodcurdling stories of his long life in this mountainous wilderness as placidly as if it were broad daylight.
 Catherine Walton sat on the log be- side her brother, listening intently, and as she felt the cold shivers creep over her, she wished that either she or Dave Brant was somewhere else. She wished that she had gone with her father and mother and Ben Brant to meet the party of friends at the stage station, five miles away; she wished that Dave. in instead of his brother Ben.

 sued until Brock, to his dismay. found that his new horse was blind Then he ragged and insisted upon a cancellation of the bargain, saying: You've hurt me- and I want a s.recantation" Hicks gleefully refused, asserting that 1t was an even swap as the sight of the horse had blinded the mule.
 So it went on. One man secured an old road cart for an equally old mule, ad the cart tl'oke down while h. was driving away with it. Another man offered to swap horse 90 old and weak that he had to fasten its halter ito a tree limb overhead to keep 1t from falling down for any four-leggzd esftter that ever pulled plow." The horse was such rack of bones that I was actually able to hang my derby hat on it's hip. He was taken up by a sad-faced youth who dragged away the candidate for bone y2Ed and returned with a hors= which had one fore leg as large as that of an elephant.
 : Under the rules the trade was bind Ing and the new possessor of the mon- strosity had to content himsslf with the assurance that he could make money by exhibiting his freak
 Despite the many disappolntments, but one serious quarrel occurred, and that arose over bottle of b:er Col hnsville is as'ioca1 option town, so all drinking had to be done on the sly. Some how or another two men, Phil Green, of Fort Payne, and Jim May, of Collins vile, had become possessed of a bottl5 of beer. They quarreled as to who should take the first drink, and the question was settled by May breaking the bottl+, beer and all, over Green $ head, cutting 1t badly. A doctor and constable took Green in hand and May made himself scarce.

 One of the last to go was the inde- fatigable president whose parting words to me were: Come again. friend, we'll have another kind of swapping conven- tion soon. My wife tells me the women have gotten jealous of us men and say they're going to start a husband swap ping convention.,
 I hope they will do so, for then I will have an excuse to revisit Collinsville, which is one of the prettiest, best wa tered and most hospitable towns in the state of Alabama. What is more, it is good trading point, having already shipped this year eggs and chickens to the value of $50,000, and also thirty cars of cattle and sheep. In 1896, 46,O coo bales of cotton were marketed there. People thirty miles distant buy their goods in Collinsville because two of it's mer- chants, O. L. Hall and G. W. Roberts, are sensible enough to do considerable l newspaper advertising.
