In the morning, as they reconno1tered,
Allen saw three bIots scamper into a
bluff on all tours like a deer. They
surrounded the bluff AS Captain AL
len Datrolled the bushes he leaned far
down the side Of his horse-but too
late. He heard the bone in his right
arm snap like glass. Almighty Voices
Thrown by the shock, the officer
crawled a little way through the thick
grass, then raised himself on one knee,
only to look into the eyes of Almighty
Voice.
Throw me your cartridge belt or
I'll kill you' he said in Cree.
'Never!' answered Allen. Just then
a bullet spat against the trunk of a
poplar. A constable had sighted the
Indian. The latter jumped back among
the trees.
They tried to burn out the Indians,
but the growth was too green. Then
three men crept in to try and unearth
the desperadoes. Those on guard out
side heard at irregular intervals the
rifles speak, but no message came out
Of the deep shadow. No fleeing Indians
darted into the open, no smoke gr1med
policeman struggled forth holding a
dark captive.
At last there was utter silence. The
WdlClltIS grew ItdNy -ltcIIcu. OdlutI-
aderie is strong in the force, almost
as strong as courage. At last, char
acteristically, two men undertook what
three had failed to do. They were
O'Kelly and Cook. Crawling flat upon
his stomach, O'Kelly discovered three
runways made by breaking down small
bushes, and ending in a death-traD-a
pit the outlaws had dug with knives.
AT the other end of each runway was
an Indian with a leveled rife. 1t was in
these runways the first three police
men had been shot.
Suddenly O'Kelly became aware of a
pair of Khaki colored legs in front of
him. AS he seized upon them they
were wrenched from his grasp and dis

the pit An Indian sprang up to get
better shot-the bullet from O'Kelly's
rifle crashed through his brain. The

one Indian outlaw might be whole
again.
Almighty Voice, son of John Sound
ing Sky, was hungry. He killed COW,
not his own; therefore, a sergeant and
half-breed guide rode out to bring
him before a magistrate. They came
upon him in company Of two squaWs.
He had just killed prairie chicken.
Tell him I've come to arrest him for
killing CATTLE" said the sergeant to
the guide
Tell him if ne advances I'll kill
him. answered Almighty Voice.
The guide covered the Indian with
his carbine, but the sergeant said: I'VE
have no authority to kill We have
come only to arrest. Tell him to lay
down his arms"
The sergeant had no choice. He
could not retire; he had no authority
to shoot the Indian; he had orders to
arrest him, even if it cost him his life
and it did. Another forward pace, and
fire belched from the Cree's gun. Ser
geant Colbrook fell, shot through the
heart.
A price was set ON the murderer's
head. A thousand miles west, a thou
sand miles north, the relocated riders
watched for Almighty Voice, who was
shielded through many moons by his
Indian friends at Duck lake.
One day in June a half-breed scout
and companion were bringing in a
horsethief AS they came to clunp
of poplarS, the thief disappeared and
Almighty Voice came in view. Soon
the scout was galloping for life, with
bullet through his back, and Ser
geant Colbrook's slayer, running like
the wind at his horses heels, making
savage clutches at the swishing tail.
Low on his horses neck the scout
rode, with reeling brain The horse
gained a. little. The pursuer stopped
an instant, his fierce black eyes gleam-
ing along a gun-barrel. The bullet cut
the scouts cowboy hat and severed the
woven-hair bride between the horse S
ears. The bit dropped from his mouth,
! and under the new freedom the horse
sped faster.
The news was flashed into Prince AL
| bert. Captain Allen and a detachment
of police rode eighty miles that night.

RED COATS OF THE NORTHWEST
Thrilling True Stories About the Northwestern Mounted

they realized what French's mission

a cheer ran along the whole rebel line.
He brought Cook in safe, then went
back to the fighting. His reward was
not the Victoria Cross. for in half an
hour he was dead. Cook still lives.
He is in the government employ.
In the annals of the police there are
heroic stories enough to fill a mighty

than have told here.

All night they guarded the bluff.
Next day the fight was like Roman

GOOSE BREEDING.
Their Extreme WatchfuIness and
Long Tenure of Life.


The Rhode island experiment station
is doing good work in goose breeding.
No shelter from rain is required in the
fattening pen during the summer or fall
weather, and geese are almost never
fattened for market during the winter.
Geese intended for market are now usu-
ally fattened and killed not later than
the middle of November, at which time
the dealers put large quantities in cold
storage for the winter and spring trade.
One large dealer writes that when real
cold weather arrives the flesh and mus
cles of both sexes rapidly harden and
become tough, SO that when kept into
the winter and then killed they do not
give satisfaction to the consumer. Cos
lings Matched in July and kept until
January or February and then fattened
and put on the market will be classed
by the dealers as old geese and bring a
very inferior price Since the almost
universal use Of cold storage some deal
srs are having even their mongrel geese
for the Christmas trade fattened and
killed at Thanksgiving and kept a
month in cold storage instead of having
them killed at Christmas, as was for
merly their custom.
Geese have thereby obtained credit
for degree of courage and spirit
which is not usually theirs, or manifest
only during the breeding season, and
while they are sitting. Perhaps no 9TH
Or domestic fowl requires to be more
quietly and carefully cared for than the
goose. Undue excitement or disturbance
by visitors, strange dogs or animals Oft
en- has a very injurious effect upon
them, especially in the laying season.
They require the kindest,of treatment,
and the breeder should be thoroughly
familiar with the individuals of his
flock and on the most intimate terms
with them in order to attain the best
success. With this trait Of timidity is
its ounterpart-extreme watchfulness.
Geese are ever on the alert, and one
breeder asserts that geese are better than
any watchdog for giving notice of the
approach of strangers during either day
time or night.
AS intimated, ganders, during the
breeding season and even the geese
when sitting or in defense of their
young, manifest considerable courage
and often punish intruders severely.
When interfered with, they seize the
intruder with the bill, strike with the
wings and sometimes scratch with the
claws They have sufficient power in

Frederick the Great and the Page-A
Showman's Answer Verses
For Little Girls.

Frederick the Great one day, sitting
In his study, rang the bell several times,
but nobody came in response to his sum-
mons. At last, growing impatient, be
opened the door Of his anteohamber and
discovered his page fast asleep. The
king, much annoyed, was about to
awaken him, when he discovered a
written paper hanging out of the boy s
pocket. Kings are not above curiosity
any more than ordinary mortals, and
without scruple his majesty softly drew
out the paper without awakening the
sleeper and read it. He found it to be a
letter Of thanks from the pages s mother,
IN which she blessed her boy for his
4houghtfulness and devotion in sending
her the greater part Of his wages. 1t
had been great help to her, she wrote,
and heaven would certainly reward him
AZ he continued faithful in the service
of his king.
After he had read this Frederick went
back to his study and brought a rouleau
of ducats, which he slipped with the
Setter into the pocket Of the boy. Then,
closing the door of the antechamber, he
went back to his desk and rung the
bell with such violence that he soon
awoke the page, who hurried into the
room.
"Surely you have been asleepP'
thundered the king, glaring at him
The poor lad, much frightened, tried
to stammer out a confession or excuse.
and in his agitation he thrust his hand
into his pocket, where he found the roll
of ducats. Confused and trembling he
drew it out, and stood looking first at
the king, then at the money, utterly in
capable of speech.
"What is tire matter?" asked the
king, hiding smile behind his hand.
"Alas, your majesty, cried the boy,
falling on his knees, "my ruin is in

Indeed know nothing of it. /"

the jaws to bite hard, and large, full
grown gander has been known to strike
hard enough with the wings to break
persons arm. 1t is very rarely, how
ever, that gander kindly cared for and
treated we'll becomes habitually ugly SO
as to attack people without provoca-
tion. The ganders fight among them
selves whenever one colony intrudes
upon the territory of another, and their
battles are severely fought, usually
with the wings, one gander seizing the
other by the first joint of the wing with
the bill and beating him with his wings
while thus held. Unless separated at
such times, they are liable to receive
injury.
Broods of goslings of different ages,
hatched and reared on the same farm,
must of necessity be penned while
young, each brood by itself, and as they
go out to feed on the pasture or field
each flock invariably keeps by itself.
Any intruder or visitor from another
flock is very unwelcome and is scolded,
bitten and driven out of the flock by
common consent. This clannish rule is
peculiar to geese and very strictly en-
forced.
Geese have long tenure of life, far
exceeding any other domestic fowl in
this respect III former times it was not
uncommon for the farmers daughter ON
her wedding day to receive among other
gifts goose from the old homestead,
to become her property and accompany
her to her new home. In some instances
such geese were kept for many years,
perhaps far beyond the life of the young
lady to whom it was presented
Many geese are kept which are of no
particular breed having descended from
the importations made by the early set
tiers. They have probably been more or
less crossed with the improved breeds
during the last 90 years, but present no
fixed colors aside from white, gray or
particoIored, nor special type of body.
OF the breeds usually met with Toulouse
is probably most common, and African
and Embden share with it the honor of
being popular breeds. Brown and White
China, as pure breeds, are not SO popu-
lar unless for ornamental purposes, the
Canada goose is bred pure to furnish
supply of ganders.for the breeding Of
"mongrels, and occasionally the
Egyptian goose is bred solely for orna-
mental purposes.

Once the little girl that cried,
Looking through her tears, espied
Lovely notes of colored light
In the fringes of her eye
Just as when the weather clears
And the clouds are put to fight
There's rainbow in the sky.
And the little girl that cried,
AS she saw this lovely sight
This fine rainbow in her tears
Would forget the reason why
She had thought it best to cry.
