THE BOWIE KNIFE,
Its Invsntor WINS n Great Hunter ans
Was Up to Everything In
His Line.

AS hunter James Bowie did mor..
than credit to his blood and training
Off-hand with rifle he could bring
down wild goose flying high over
head, and put his bullet in the neck
five times out of seven. But marksman-
ship bordering on the marvellous was
a common attribute thereabout. What
gave the young sawyer distinction was
another story.
Several sorts of another story, in fact.
He could not merely shoot deer run
ming, but lasso them in fair chase over
the prairie, give them a fall and, if it
pleased him so to do, fetch them in
alive and unframed. He could likewise
lasso horse from the wild herds,
mount him without anybody's help
and stay upon his back, no matter what
was done, until the terrified beast had
run himself tame. by way of variety,
sometimes the lasso was east over big
bull alligator waddling from swamp to
swamp. When it had been drawn taut,
holding tail and jaws in leash, young
Bowie mounted the scaly back and
rode there, laughing and shouting,
while the astonished saurian went bel
lowing with rage toward his swampy
haunts.-Martha Observation-Disclosures,

ty fraternity well knowing that food
was never denied hungry man by the
well-provisioned farmers Perhaps the
cook-house cellar was rendezvous for
number of tramps. was SO eager to
arrive at some explanation of the event
which would have a wholly materialistic
bearing that the absurdity of man
seeking n resting-place in damp foul
cellar, when much more comfortable
bed might be secured out at the barn
amid the hay and straw, did not strike
me.
Then, too, the place would undoubt-
cdly lose degree of horror if a light
was introduced. So, seeing that my
pistol was in my pocket, anG taking the
candle and some matches, again made
for the cook house. Having resolved to
gloom, / did not allow myself to pause
and think; that would mean perhaps
return of my fright. must plunge into
the mystery suddenly, or not at all.
1t was like taking cold-water bath;
the longer one waits the harder to make
the plunge.
Inside the cook house 1 lit the candle
and, taking the pistol from my pocket,
approached the stairway.
About again to descend. the recollec-
ton of my first experience came to me
in all the force of its unearthly quail
tiles, and 1 was seized with trembling
fit. My knees smote together, and my
hand shook SO that the flame of the
candle was nearly extinguished.
The return of my fear, however, made
me all the more resolved to go on. /
gritted my teeth, and, advancing my
pistol in readiness, slowly began the
save that made by my own footsteps.
After reaching the bottom step held
the candle aloof and gazed cxpectantly
around.
The room was about 20 feet square;
the fiat stones with which it was paved
and the surrounding walls were Shiny
with moisture, and here and there re-
fected back the light Of the candle.
That was all. No human being was in
sight, not sign Of one having been
here.
AT my feet part of the stone pave
ment had been removed and plank in
serted. Lying near the edge of the
plank was paper with some printing
on the outside, like that on bond or
deed. stepped down upon the plank,
and again noticed that one end
sank under my weight. Stoop-
ing down to pick up the paper,
my ears were again assailed by the sol
emn admonition seeming to come from
the opposite side of the cellar; "An-
other step means death. Pause before
you take It'll"
Grabbing the paper, quickly re-
suned m upright position, and, hold
ing the candle above me, gazed intent
ly in the direction Of the voice. There

CHAPTER XIV.

How did the bond which was stolen
from the Safety Security company
over year ago get into the eel
lar of an old country house be-
longing to a former employe Of the
bank? Who could have dropped it
there, and where were the rest? Was
trap laid for me?
Sonntag, Skinner, Jackson, the un-
explained and curious relation between
these three, the walled-up cellar, the
underground passage undoubtedly lead
ing to it, and so safely guarded-what
could it all mean? Was it possible
that my old house was the receptacle of
the stolen property, and Sonntag.
Skinner, even jackson, the gang, or II
portion of it, had perpetrated the rob
berry?
If this was true, then there was an
attempt being made to furnish some
proof which would throw conviction
upon me.
Was this the mystery which sur
rounded me? Single-handed. how could
1 hope to cope successfully with IL?

be depended upon as far as their judg-
ment and ability went 1 thought of Mr..
Morley, who, being trustee Of the
bank, would naturally beinterested in
the affair. But that gentlemans own
evident troubles, and the unwillingness
to add greater load to the already
overburdened man, turned me from the
iden of aid from that direction.
There was another one, and the
thought had no sooner come into my
head than proceeded to follow 1t up.
Stealing cautiously from the house.
I went out to the barn and saddled the
horse, mounted, and was soon tearing
down the Sidington road.

Consanguineous Marriages.

The results of consanguineous mar
riages have been differently regarded
by various authors of note. Esquirol
attributed to them predisposition to
insanity among the descendants.
Meniere asserts that in. the majority of
cases deaf mutes owe their infrmity
to the ties of relationship between their
parents. Lucas thinks that these mar
riages are cause of degeneration in
the human race, producing mental dull
ness, brutality, insanity, impotency, etc.
Liebreich states that consanguinity is
frequently the cause of pigmentary
retinitis among the descendants. Ray
maud ranks it among the conditions
which may produce albinism. On the
other hand, some authorities have ex-
plicitly declared themselves in favor of
such marriages, and assert that they
are not at all injurious, and that gen.
orally they give good results. In the
face OF such extreme opinions it is per-
haps not astonishing that there are to
be found names of equally high repute
among those who affirm that these mar
riages are productive of both good and
evil results, depending on whether or
not any constitutional disease affects
either party.-N Y. Tribune.

Ing at her house for dinner, and left
me seated on the porch while she went
inside to prepare the meal.
From my seat l could see the station
far down the hill, through the trees.
Two men were moving about on the
platform, but the distance was too
great to allow distinction of anything
but their forms.
Remembering then that my field
glass had been left here at Sarah's
house on the morning of my arrival, l
called in to have her bring it to me,
which she did.
Taking the glass from the case 1 ad-
justed it to my eye and then turned it
toward the station.
My sight had not deceived me even
in the momentary glimpse of the face
ut the window.
The face was Horace Jackson's, and
there the fellow was now, standing on
the edge of the platform. speaking most
earnestly, judging by the vehement
gestures. to the station agent.
