the Tete Rouse glacier, in which an
enormous body of water was pent up
at a spot 10000 feet above the sea level:
Between l and > o'clock en- the night or
July u. 1892 the ice that had held the
lake gave way.
The water swept in a torrent of tre-
nendouss force over the Desert de Pierre
Ronde. gathering up thousands of tons
of rock and stones in it's course. 1t
passed with terrific roar under the
hamlet of Biopnassay, which it did not
injure; destroyed alf the village Of
Bionnay on the highroad between Con-
tamines and ST. Gervais, and, tearing
ND trees as it went along, Joined the
main river of the Bon-Nant.
Following the river bed and destroy
ing on it's way the old Pont du Diable,
it hurled its seething flood of water,
timber. stones and mud upon The solid
buildings Of the st. Gervais baths, and
crushed them into fragments. Then.
crossing the ChamoniX road, it spread
itself out in the form of hideous fan
over the valley of the Lowe, de-
stroying part of the village of lie Fayet
in its way.
Such was the catastrophe Of st. Ger
vais. which claimed $50 victims. utter
ruin was everywhere, The once lovely
gardens of the baths were five or six
feet deep in mud, fine trees had been
snapped like reeds, and enormous
blocks of stone were strewn over the
dreary waste.

efforts, carried the big trophy of their
prowess to the house.
After they had eaten their dinner
they tied the great birds feet securely
together, flung them over a stout pole,
and. with one end of the pole on Betty s
shoulder and the other on Charley's, the
two children walked all the way to
Lumberton through the dust and hot
sun to collect the so cents bounty they
thought they were entitled to for max
ing away with the feathered chicken
thief Squire Smiley was in, and when
Betty told him what their errand was,
and he saw the immense bird they car
ried, and heard how they had killed it,
he was speeches.. When he recovered
from his surprise he told the children
to sit down. Then he said to Betty:
81 am sorry, Sissy, but the law hasn't
placed any bounty on this bird; not
even 80 cents" F
sWhy!p said Betty, the tears gather
ing in, her eyes, pop got so cents for
the hawk he killed, and it wasn't half
as big as this onei''
But" said the squire, this isn't a
hawk This is an eagle!"
The knowledge that they had fought
with and overcome an eagle was not
reward sufficient to overcome the dis
appointment they felt in not being en-
titled to the expected bounty, and both
Betty and Charley burst into tears, as
they took up the burden of the great
bird and started to leave the squire's
to trudge back the weary five miles
homeward.
Wait a moment, children" said the
squire There's no bounty on such. a
bird as this. nor on hawks, either, now.
But you just take this and leave the
big bird with me"
The squire placed a IS gold piece in
Bettys hands, and the children were
so oyerjoyed that they started home-
ward on a, run.
The eagle they had conquered and
borne all the way to Lumberton meas
ured over seven feet from tip to tip of
its wings. and Betty and Charley had

Betty and Charley Did, Although
There Was No Bounty On Hawks.
TNeu York Sun

On July Charles Mink and his
wife, who live on bacSwoods farm
five miles from Lumberton, in the Pine
Creek region of New York, went to
spend the day with relatives at Ham
mersly's Forks, leaving their two old
est children, Charley, aged II, and
Betty, aged Il, at home to take care
of the house. Toward noon Betty was
peeling potatoes for their dinner, when
Charley, who had been hoeing in the
garden. came running into the house.
"Betty!'' he cried. There's a big
hawk in the barnyard after the chick
ensi'
Their father kept his shotgun in a
closet off the kitchen, and Betty got it,
and the two children hurried to the
barnyard TO kill the hawk and save the
chickens, if they could. When Betty
and Charley got there the big bird had
a chicken in its talons and had risen
with it in the air more than fifty feet.
Betty raised the gun, heavy as it was,
and fired. The charge took effect in
one OF the birds wings, disabling that
important member, and bringing the
bold Elarauder tumbling to the ground.
Betty dropped her gun and she and
her brother ran to where the hawk
was fiuttering and sprawling about, I'M
able to rise. The first thought of the
two children was the rescuing of the
chicken which was still alive in the
tight grasp of its captor, and squawk-
ing Justify. The attempt of Betty and
Charley to get the chicken was met
with a furious attack on them by the
wounded hawk. The boy was knocked
fiat by one blow of the birds sound
wing.
Then the two children got stout clubs
and pitched into the wounded chicken
steaier, which had released the chicken
by this time, the chicken scampering
back to the barnyard without a sec
ond's delay, but lacking a great many
of its feathers. The savage bird fought
desperately, using its strong, sound
wing, and leaping against its assail-
ants in efforts to fasten its great talons
upon them, but several well delivered
blows on the head with their clubs fin
ally killed it, and the two children. ex-
