Julius Caesar.
My fear was that he had companions
of his own species If so, there could be
no better place than the present to have
it out with them. If could maintain
my craftsmanship, | was good for two
moro.
But intense listening for two or
three minutes failed to bring another
sound Of the nature dreaded. 1t was evil
dent that only IA single hound had been
used at this stage of the business. \
few hours would doubtless bring a
change.
But | heard something else that was
to be dreaded with an equal dread. 1t
was the sound made by at least two
men as they hurried through the swamp
toward the spot whence sounded the
shot Of the revolver and the death cry
Of the dog. One at least had a Winches-
ter, against which my smaller weapon
was useless. | had no wish to meet Cy
Walters, and, leaping down from the
log on which | had been standing,
darted for the opposite side Of the clear
ing, with the knowledge that not a mo-
ment was to be lost.
Great as was my haste il was within
a second Of being too late, Tor the men
who We're pursuing me hot footed were
closer than suspected. Being from un
der the protecting shadow of the trees,
was in plain sight as | reached the
other side Of the clearing at the moment
the leading pursucr emerged from the
wood, An unexpected complication
saved me from being winged before |
could plunge into shelter.
There were three men after me, Cy
Walters Archie Hunter and the owner
Of the bloodhound that had just finished
his last hunt for flying fugitive, 1t SO
happened that the bereaved dog owner
was in the lead, be probably being bet
ter acquainted with the poculiaritics Of
his animal, but the others were only Il
short distance behind.
The sight of the motiOnlcSs form on
the ground filled the man with ire
strainablc rage. With an imprecatiOn,
he bounded forward and paused over
the carcass, as if to make sure Of the
truth. y glance was sufficient. Then,
Winchester in hand, he glared around
for sight of the one who had done the
decd
He was in time to catch sight of my
vanishing form, as he brought his gun
to his shoulder, while Walters and
Hunter had just dashed into the clear
ing. Casting one glance over my shoul
der, leaped among the trees and lodged
to one side with my head bent low, as
the bullet whistled over me.
But | had not yet shaken off my pur
suers, and the chase was on once more
with redoubled vigor.

Max ORell considers that French
women make better wives for poor or
struggling men than do the women Of
other nationalities. Their ambition and
keen sense, he says, are great helps to II
mans efforts, and they never allow
themselves to weary III their cndoayors
to be choery and charming. Mr.. O'ReIl
says that the women are naturally eX-
ceedingly energetic and endowed with
that vivacity which is SO great Il sup
port to their own spirits, and that this
enables them to impart animation and
courage to others.
Other writer's have noticed this pc
culiarity of temperament i'll French
women. 1t has been said that Americans
have it to a certain degree, that degree
which compcls Il constant activity, but
that lack of true balance makes woman
ly energy i'll the western continent titiul
and uncertain, while the Gallo women
will be found Of more equabIe natures.

"That existing methods Of educating

say: We are alone Parents give us no

the benefit Of ordinary interest And
this is true-lamentably true. Parents
are all too lax about the methods pur-
sued i'll educating their children In
hundreds of cases they donot even know
what the methods are. They know
nothing about them. There is no coop

CHAPTER XI,

My pursUers were so close to me that
there was danger of betraying myself
by the noise made in hurrying through
the wood. The clearing gave them op-
pOrtunity to run across it much faster
than l could pick my way through the
underground.
Bearing this in mind, my object was
to reach a point where | could not be
discovered in the obscurity unless tho
men came directly upon me, 1t was al
ready established that there had been
but one bloodhound ON my trail, and he
being disposed of nothing more was to
be dreaded from his species.
Naturally made an abrupt change

sound Of the eager footsteps almost on

had traversed less than so yards il
this manner when | paused and listened
for evidence of my pursuers, but the
stiffness of the swamp was profound.
Probably they had stopped with the
same object. At any rate they did not
know exactly where | was, and l deter.
mined not to give up the advantage.
The uneasy feeling, however, which
came with the certainty that they were
close at hand led me to edge farther off, ,
doing so with such stealthy care that
was sure Of not betraying myself. My
progress Of necessity was slow, but still
it was progress, and that was a consola,

In the Militar Wochenblatt, a leading
German military organ, Horr Won Ploetz
recommends horse racing as panacea
for socialism He says that the reason
why there is no socialism III England is
that they encourage horse racing there
and that "the love of the sport is the
connecting link between all classes of
men, enabling the poor to comprehend
the necessity for difference of fortune. "
Following out Heir Ploetz's idea, it
is said that gambling on horse racing is
increasing i'll Germany ut a tremendous
rate, though so far no diminution of
socialism has been noticed

they got there and not finding
Pattison they forced him to par

Antiseptic Barbery.

To render inoffensive the instru.
ments used by hairdressers is an
aim most desirable to be attained
in order to prevent the spread of
certain complaints. But although
washing the hands before and
after each operation is easy and
should be insisted on, and the
fumigation of the linen used is
comparatively easy, it is another
question when it comes to disin-
fecting scissors, clippers, razors,
combs or bSushes.
The various methods in use in
surgical practice for sterilization
cannot generally be employed by
hairdressers, dry heat, the auto
clave and antiseptics deteriorat-

Success was complete, whether
in regard to brushes or other inv

and taken to the BcXar county
Jail. They are Bahama islanders
and have u peculiar dialect. Sands
has made u confession, taken in

officers, but Hart denies the en-.

Sand in his confession said they
had gone from Pensacola, Fla. to

and went to San Antonio, They
noticed the Madarasz house and
determined to rob it. lie denied
that he hit the woman with a

door down with hammer and
sprinkIed kerosene oil on the bed
before setting fire to the house.
Both, he said, assaulted her. He
says Hart hit the woman, but did
not kill her, and then lifted up
the mattress, from under which
he took some greenbacks and sill

Sands said they went to Laredo

A Panic Prevailed.

Thirty thousand people gath
cred on the 2lst in court square
at Springfield, Mass, to hear
President Mckinley deliver an
address. A stand had been built
and ropes drawn around it. The
Grand Army men marched up on
the stand to shake hands with the
;hief magistrate and the popU-
lace stood back. Very unwisely
the police let the ropes down at
this juncture and rush for the
stand was made. In minute the
veterans were almost swept from
their feet by the surging mass of
men, women and children. Fifty
policemen were in the square, but
their usefulness disappeared the
minutes the ropes were taken
down.
Children screamed and women
shrieked and tainted, and to add
to the excitement the police lost
their temper and several rows re-
suited.
Finally the crowd swung so
closely to the stand that it was
jammed and the line stopped, Or
ders were roared frantically to
the patrolmen to keep the steps
clear, but commands were easier
given than executed.
Almost miraculously a hole was
made in the crowd and the pro-
cession once more moved.

address

Probable Call for Volunteers.

1t is said the president has de-
cided to call for volunteers for
the Philippines, but the call will
not be made under a proclama-
ton.
Gen. OTIS has asked that his
army be increased by at least 49,
600 men beyond the 10000 limit
set by himself on suggestions of
the secretary of war.
The only question with Presl-
dent Mckinley is whether to call
for the entire limit of $4,000 men
or 10000 or 5000.
Gen. Otis has been cabled per-
mission to organize three regl-
ments of volunteers. Expert
military authorities say lie will not
be able to enlist more than 1000.
Otis claims that he has scarcely
$4,000 available fighting men.

Gen. Wheaton is in command,
were attacked on the 18th in an
effort to reconnoiter Pera de

most of the rebels who escaped
from Paranque had fled, by what
was thought to be friendly ma
tives. A sharp engagement re-
suited in which five Americans
were killed and the rebel loss was
heavy.

Wheaton in command went to
their relief. Gen. Wheaton was
