er was surprising.
Early in 1875 an emlgrant going into
New Mexico stopped at the Old adobe
house beside the train. Chunk, who was
also there invited the stranger TO go for
short tramp The ew-comer appreciated
that there could be no safe refusal TO the
invitation and went Within few hours
Chunk returned. but nothing more was
ever heard of the emigrant. The natives
knew that the stranger had been murder
ed and robbed, but nobody dared to refer
10 the fact openly. Chunk sat around a
while and then left. Soon Clay Allison ar
rived. The story of the murder was re-
lated to him. In straight English, natu-
rally embelshed with swearing, Allison
expressed his opinion of Chunk. Somebody
who heard him repeated Alnsons remarks
to Chunk, who announced that Allison
must die. Ii was some time before the
men met and meantime Allison had been
informed of the threat made by Chunk.
Both made preparations accordingly.
In the old adobe house the two men
met for the first time. Chunk accosted in
the most friendly manner the man whom
he had threatened to XIII. and the saluta-
ton was returned. neither being thrown
off his guard by the apparent rlendliness
of the other.
"'How long will you be here?' asked
Chunk.
"In stay for dinner and possibly lon

Chunk thereupon extended an invita-
ton TO dinner to Allison and II was ac-
cepted As good a dinner az the house
could afford was ordered by Chunk for
two, and among the edibles was roast
beef When dinner was ready the TWO
entered the dining room, both aware that

on the other side of the table had no
alternative Had he refused he would
have been branded as a coward. With a
smile he answered, Certainly and, TAX
ing up the knife and fork prepared to cut
the meat AS the knife was sinking into
the roast Chunk drew his revolver but,
in elevating IL, struck the muzzle against
the edge of the table. The interference
caused only a moments delay, but that
moment cost Chunk his life. Almost at
the same time that the weapon struck the
edge of the table a shot rang out and
Chunk sank forward on the table dead
with a bullet hole in the center of the
forehead. So quick was Allison's act OF
drawing and firing that the probabilities
are that both men would have fired al
the same time had Chunk not been I'M
lucky with his revolver.
ALLISON quietly put away hts revolver,
and was soon on his way from Red River
crossing. He said nothing, and nobody
spoke to him, but settlers, whenever they
heard the story, praised him for riding
the country of Chunk. The traveller OF to-
day along that old Santa Fe trail who
stops al the adobe house win be told this
story by a white haired Mexican who lives
there and owns small flock of sheep In
the cemetery where Chunk lies buried.

character of men who were on the border
twenty-five years ago, and how an in

OBJECTED TO HENRY's ACTION.
Porto Rican Insular Cabinet Ten
ders designations.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Feb. 5.-The in
sular cabinet, late yesterday, rendered its
resignation to Gov. Gen. Henry, because,
after dismissing Senior Carbonell, Gen.
Henry ordered Gen. Eaton to take charge
of the department of public instruction,
and instructed Maj. Pierce to take charge
of the department of public works. Both
these departments belong to the interior
department.
The cabinet demands the immediate APP
pointment of a successor to Senior Car
boneIl, and that natives be appointed in
place of Maj Pierce, in accordance with
previous enunciations of the policy of Gen.
Henry and the colonial commission, that
no Americans are to hold office here.
Gen. Henry promises compliance with
these demands and the designations of the
members of the insular cabinet are, there
fore, held in allegiance.
Gen. Henry will place the religious Or
ders in possession of the buildings from
which they have previously been elected
and will restrain any further proceedings
to dispossess them until their rights are
judicially determined.

They will never be conquered. They will

envoy. Il came to your country TO offer

THE WHY FOX.
How Reynard Trapped n Big Pack
of Pursuing Hounds.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times
Tuesday morning about forty fox hunt
ers from half a dozen local hunts met at
Valley Forge for a days fox hunting.
They had pack of fifty or sixty picked
hounds and were prepared for long and
lively chase. About o'clock the hounds
started a fox In the big woods on South
Valley Hill and old Valley Forge, which
had been asleep for nearly a hundred
years, was awakened into new life by the
noise of the hounds and the hunters
horns. The fox played hide and seek
with the hounds among the laurels for
nearly an hour, and then crossed Valley
Creek and ran across the fields towards
Rawling, with the hounds and hunters in
hot pursuit.
The fox proved to be a good runner and
a high Jumper, as was proved when It
leaped over a fve-foot stone wall on the
Fisher farm. The hounds jumped the
wall too, but only few Of the hunters
attempted the feat, the rest OF them going
around. The fox ran west, and then off
south past Bull Bridge into the Chester
valley, and up the valley to the Knicker-
booker line quarries. Here Reynard look
ed for a hole to crawl IN, but, finding
none to its liking, IL kept on. Feeling that
It had gotten far enough away from
home, II doubled and made a bee line
back toward Valley Forge, ten miles
down the Schuylklll river.
The home run was one Of the prettlest
seen this winter, as II lay through pref
" stretch of open country, with hills and
wales and patches of woods The fox ran
well. and so did the hounds, and the lat
ter kept gaining until 1t seemed impossi-
BILE for the fox to escape being picked up
unless something happened 10 bak the
hounds In their swift dash across the
fields. The unlooked-for often happens
when a crisis Is imminent, and il hap
pened to-day. The fox reached an old
vacant house near Williams Corner, shot
through the door, leaped into the empty
cellar. and jumped out through small
opening In the old walls and struck off for
valley Forge with redoubled speed. The
hounds reached the old house and jumped
nall-nnell into the cellar, expecting 10 find
The fox crouching in a corner among the
Debris. but the fox was not there, and
the hole in the wall by which II had es-
caned was too small TO let the hounds
through. and there they were like rats in
a tran. When the hunters came up they
dienounted. and after half an hours hard
work they got the hounds out of the cell
lar and started them on the track again
and they soon reached Valley Forge to
end that the fox had gone to the ground
and was out of harms way.

THE TEMPLE OF FAME

.'.How far away is the Temple Of Fame?' ~
q Said youth at the dawn of day;
And he toiled and dreamed Of a deathless
name; s s.s5ss4
But the hours went by and the evening
came,
That left him feeble, and old. and lame.
To pl0d on his cheerless way.
For the path to Fame is a weary climb,
Up mountain steep and high.
There are many who start in their youthful
prime:
But in the battle with fate and time,
For one who reaches those heights sub
lime
Are thousands who fall and die.
The youth who had failed could never guess
:, The reason his quest wassvain;
But he sought no other to help or bless II
He followed the glittering prize, Success,
Up the narrow pathway of selfishness.
And this had beenshis bane.
''How far awayis theETempleI Iof >Good?''
4 Said aqyouth ait the dawn OF day.
And he strove. in spirit of brotherhood,
! To help and succor, as best he could.
Il The poor and unfortunate multitude
On their hard and dreary way a
He was careless alike Of praise or blame; 1
But, after his work was done.
An angel of glory from Heaven came
And wrote on high his immortal name.
( Ploclaiming this truth, that the Temple
Of Fame 49, 5zs
And Temple Of Good are one.
For this is the lesson that history
Has taught since the world began:
Z That those whose memories never die,
Who shine like stars in our human sky, Il
And brighter grow as the years roll by,
\ Are men who have lived for Man.
