BRINGING IL A PRISONER.

him found lat he had a six-shooter
on, and thatfone load had been shot
out of it He admitted having passed
through Southmayd a few hours be-
fores and thought had good ground
fSf believing he was the, very fellow
that had done the shooting out there.
Anyhow, knew we could get a case
against him for carrying a pistol, SO
1 concluded TO take him in. After some
little argument persuaded him to get
up behind me on the step of the BIZ
cycle.
"Of course, 1 took his gun AWAY from
him, and then he got up behind me
all right enough. After we had got
some little distance he seemed to take
a notion to talk. You seem to be
sort of an expert with bicycle he
said, but how do you know may not
be just as good as you myself? I can
feel my thigh pressing against your
six-shooteT, but what is there to pre-
vent me from taking it away from you,
and then riding off on your wheel?'
81 jest sorter laughed and said: oh,
1 don't reckon you'll do anything as
bad as all that Just about that time
1 felt him make some peculiar kind
of motion. never did know whether
he was in earnest in trying to escape,
or whether he was just joking. I'm not
sure whether he himself knew or not.
The first thing he really did know, he
was crawling out from under'a barbed-
wine fence, and was looking up the
barrel of big navy six-shooter, the
moonlight cleaning down it, and me
at the other end.
There were, as I have said, good
many reasons that got me 10 think of
using the bicycle as use it now, but
guess the principal one is this: One
time I went out after a fellow named
Zeb Harmon, who was wanted as a
prosecuting witness in a certain case.
1 found him nine miles out in the
country, and 1 found that he wasn't
very anxious to come in. He didn't
own horse and couldn't borrow one,
and he swore he wouldn't walk. Twas
sort o. puzzled at first, but finally, 1
happened TO think maybe he could ride
behind me on the step of my bicycle,
and told him so. He said he never
was on bicycle and he couldn't ride
one. told him didn't know whether
he could or not, but just to try, and
if he couldn't I'd let him off from go
ing into town. 1 guess he thought that
was a good way to get out of it, for
he hoped up behind me, cheerful as
you please. 1 didn't know which was
the more surprised when we found that
the scheme worked to perfection. !
brought him in ever mighty rough
roads, too, only a horse trail part Of
the way. A bicycle can, come mighty
near going where a horse can go. It's
only the dude riders that can't go where
the roads happen to be a little bad"

self in the following language:
"One night we had a telegram from
Southmayd stating that a man had just
been shot out there. Southmayd is a
little station about IL miles away by
the wagon road. The telegram did not
say how bad the fellow was hurt, and
we did not know but what some fellow
had been murdered outright.

night awhile, considered had done

the railroad, just by the 'seyen-mile

PROVES HERSELF A HEROINE.
Mrs. Hermann, Widow of the Magi-
clan, stops n Dog Fight. -

c1an, stops n Dog Fight. ~
Mrs. Adelaide Hermann, widow of the
magician, may now be classed rs q
heroine. Several years ago, while her
husband was making tour of the
world, a nobleman in st. Petersburg
presented to him a pair of Russian gray
hounds. Ever since they have been pets
at the Hermann homestead, White
stone, L. l.
The other afternoon Mrs. Hermann
heard noise on the lawn, and, rushing
out of the house, found the dogs doing
their best to wipe each iother out of ex-
istence. She ran between them, and
finally managedfo subdue them, not,
however, until they had made q des-
perate attack 6n her and had bitten her
several things on her arms and wrists.
Coolly sbe>locked the Russians in their
house. Then she calmly cauterized her
wounds. After it was all over, her
nerves gave way, and she had to send for
che family physician.
About year ago, Hermann, his wife
and the dogs were playing near the
sound at Whitestone, when the dogs be-
gan a hammer and tongs discussion
which threatened the lives of both.
Grabbing them by their collars, Mrs.
Hermann dragged them into the water
and held their heads under until all the
fight was out of them, and they were
willing to creep humbly home.

HORRORS OF FAMINE IN CHINA
Inland Provinces are Suffering
Many Deaths from Hunger.

Inland Provinces are Suffering
Many Deaths from Hunger.
Oriental news just received tells of
famine in the Chinese provinces of
Szechuen and Hupehin. The authori-
ties are sending grain to the destitute
people, but the inland districts away
from the rivers have not been reached.
The leading merchants in Szechuen
have appealed to the foreigners for
help. 1t is said 1000 taels were quick
ly telegraphed by the natives. Foreign
trading houses have given literally,
and the empress dowager has sent 1907
900 taels. to the suffering districts. In
the distant parts of both provinces
deaths by starvation are occurring
daily.
Famine has set many bands of brig
ands to work. One band of 100 has car
ried off score of prisoners and
large quantity of money and goods
from Taipah. The prisoners are most
ly daughters of wealthy families. A
prominent millionaire was robbed of
two daughters, who are held for ransom
at 5000 yen. The robbers have sent
word that unless the sum is paid
promptly the heads of their victims
will be returned without their bodies.
In two instances wealthy men have
been carried off and their friends
obliged to pay large sums for their ran
som.
Chinese pirates are actually at work
along the coast and on the Yang-tse-
Kiang. At Nanchang three weeks ago
five merchants travelling to Kiukiang
erelnurdered. They were members of
party of six, one of whom escaped
by diving overheard. From an unsus-
picious boat which came alongside a
horde of pirates suddenly rose up from
concealment, boarded the merchant
boat and overpowered the boatmen.
They first robbed the merchants and
then butchered them one after an
other. Col. Tin, high mandarin and
commander of Samkong, was travelling
on West river with his family of con-
cubines and servants when the pirates
boarded his boat, looted it of all valu-
ables and killed the concubines.

DOGS MUST HAVE PASSPORTS.
Authorities OF Great Britain Guard
ing Against Hydrophobia.

Authorttlcs OF Great Brftinn Guard
inE Against Hydropbobia.
The edict has gone forth that no dog
may be brought into the kingdom of
Great Britain without a special license
from the British board.of agriculture.
The board fears that American dogs
will bring hydrophobia with them.
The American Kennel club, at its
quarterly meeting, objected to the ac-
ton of the British board and appointed
committee to prepare statistics to
show that rabies is practically an I'M
known disease among dogs.
The new law provides that each dog
entering English shores shall be duly
registered and accompanied by a GER
tificate setting forth his marks of iden-
tifcation, the name and address of his
owner, his destination and his proposed
route of travel.
