The Game Gone and sport Not what II
Used 10 BE.

Some time ago n Detroit man who is
fond of hunting was called TO the great
state of Texas on business, and thinking
he might get a day OF so off TO indulge
in the pleasures OF the Chase he took his
gun and hunting paraphernalia along
with him. He was not mistaken, aud
one day he found himself at a small sta
ton, where it was reported that a good
shot might have Il chance to fill his
game bag, 1t was Il dreary place, . I'd
the only man in sight was a native Of
the most pronounced type, who kept
the station" To him the Detroiter AZ
dressed himself Il few minutes after the
train had departed.
is there any game around hereg' he
asked.
Not now he replied sadly enough.
This was not hopeful to the hunter.
Not now?" he queried. when did
ii get that wayg | was told this was u

The man sighed.

native, sitting down on a barrel. 1T

Again the Detroiter laughed.
"You don't understand me yet, ] see"
he said. What | want to know is if
there is any shooting around here?"
The native sighed more profoundly
than even and there was n faint suspi-
cion of moisture in his eyes,
"Shootin'?" he said, with Il mournful
culver in his voice; shooting Why,

HELD FOR ANDREWS MURDER
Coroner's Jury Fastens the Crime an
William Gill,

Lead, March S.-Willism Gill Is hello
n the county jail at Deadwood, charged
with the murder Of James Andrews at
Terry Sunday morning. The %coroner's
Jury, after being In session W days
and carefully sitting all the facts, found
that Andrews came TO his death from a
wound inflicted by Gill. The details OF
the murder, as brought to light, are hor-
rifying. When Gill was found Sunday
morning he was lying 10 the bed,
which was red with his friend and his
benefactor's blood, coolly smoking his
pipe. He still protests that he Is inno'
cent, but is very reticent. Andrews was
buried at Terraville. He was a Mason,
Odd Fellow and member OF the Miners
dnion. His funeral was largely attend
ed. He leaves a wife and a 22-year-old
son in England. The son is now en-
route to America, having left home to
see his father for the first time In years.
He will find his fathers new made
grave. The theory advanced in behalf
OF Gill is that he Is crazy. He was in,
jured in a mine cave-in sewers years
ago and has never since been right.

IN EASTERN KENTUCKY.
Home Life OF the Mountain People =
strange Pets.

They have some strange pets owe in
eastern Kentucky. II is nothing ul-
common 10 find pet foxes, coons, SOUR
rels, owls and rabbits. But the checklist

the Louisville Courier JHTHdi. was on
the left-hand fork of the right-hand fork
Of Potter's Cork of the north fork of the
Kentucky river. Judge Milliken, of
Nashville, Tenn, and myself were in
there looking after coal lands in the
fall of 1899, and we stopped at 4 little,
dilapidated loo cabin for dinner. There
was plenty of cabbage and other
vegetables growing in the garden, aud
we had learned from experience TO take
these things into consideration, for some
times we stopped at places where there
was no garden and found rations rather
scarce.
Everybody in the mountains re-
ceives travellers aud makes them well
come TO what they have. We were
tired aud took our seats under the front
porch that had "A good, smooth dirt floor.
and were eating ONE delicious apples,
aud right here let me say that the best
tasting apples in The world grow in the
mountains of eastern Kentucky. While
eating and dropping the Feelings
around the chairs "A big, long gauut hog,
of the razor-back brand, came up and
commenced eating the peeiings. |
thought he was rather familiar on such a
short acquaintance, rs he walked oven
IN feet and tried to root over our chairs,
so finally the Judge got disguised aud
gave the hog a kick.
Imagine his surprise when the hog
turned and charged him, knocked over
his chair, spilled our snake medicine out
OF our saddle-bags and commenced TO
do us up on short notice. We managed
to get to the fence and leave that hog
monarch OF all he surveyed. The lady
of the house finally came out and put
him out of the yard. She said he was a
pet pig and had been in the family 50
long that they could not think Of killing
him. think they called him Billy
maybe Billy Breckenridge.
When dinner was ready we found
that the table was nailed up around the
legs, SO we could not get our feet under
it, and when we were asked the reason
for it we were told it was done 20 keen
Billy and the dogs from getting under
there while they were eating, when
they would fight and turn the table
over. That table would have been q
curiosity at the worlds fair. 1t had q
little, round-turn table set in the middle
of the big table, on which the %victual,
were placed, and it worked so nicely
that when it was started it went round
like a merry-go-round, and if you wer,
a good baseball catcher you could snatch
what you wanted rs it sailed by. This
would be n splendid plan to adopt where
servants are scarce.
While eating the bread gave out AM
our host reached over in the skillet nea
by and picked out a pone of corn breac
built on the plan of u brickbat, excep
thicker and harder on the outside, an,
threw it down on that merry-go-rount
underwater with the remark: "Hell
yourself, gentlemen, no darn qualit,
cuts here"
| noticed afterward that the judg,
kept a sharp lookout for pet pigs.

The EVIL Genius.
a DOMESTIC STORY.
BY WILKiE COLLINS.

The old mothers instinct-not the old
mothers reason-told her what to do. She
drew her daughter to the open window and
called To Kitty to come in. The child (still
amusing herself by fishing in the lake. laid
down her rod. Mrs. Linley saw her running
lightly along the little pier, on her way 10
the house. That influence effected what no
other influence could have achieved. The
outraged wife controlled herself for the sake
of her child. Mrs. Presty led her out TO meet
Kitty In the garden, waited until she saw
them together, and returned TO the breakfast
room.
Herbert Linley's letter lay ON the floor; his
discreet mother-in-law picked it up 1t could
do no more harm now, and there might be
reasons for keeping the husbands proposal.
Unless ! am very much mistaken" Mrs.
Presty concluded, 1--WE shall hear more from
tile lawyer before long She locked up the
letter, and wondered what her daughter
would do next.
In half an hour Mrs. Linley returned
pale, silent, selt-contained
She seated herself ut her desk. wrote lit
orally one line, signed il without an instant's
hesitation, and folded the paper. Before it
was secured in the envelope, Mrs. Presty in
terfered with Il characteristic request. You
are writing 10 Mr.. Linley, of course" she
said. May 1 see it?"
Mrs. Linley handed the letter to her. The
one line of writing contained these words:
II refuse positively TO part with my child.
Catherine Linley.'
Have you considered what is likely to
happen when he gets this?' Mrs. Presty in.
Quired.
NO, mamma
"Will you consult Randall
81 would rather not consult him."
"Will you let me consult him for youp
"rhank you-no."
"Why nOt?'
After what Ran6al has written to me |
don't attach any value 10 his opinion" With
that reply She sent her letter TO the post aud
went back again TO Kitty.
After this, Mrs. PreSty resolved to walt
the arrival of Herbert Linley's answer, and
10 let events take their course. The view
from the window (as she passed it, walking
up and down the room offered he. little help
in forecasting the future. Kitty had re-
turned TO her fishing, and Kitty's mother was
walking slowly up and down the pier, deep
in thought. Was she thinking OF what might
happen, and summoning Ter resolution
which 50 seldom showed itself ON ordinary
occasions?
