What Pluck Did.

It is the bulldog fearlessness and
tenacity of an Enghshman that makes
him a conqueror even when he faces
mob of barbarians. After the bonn
bardment of Alexandria by the Eng.
lish fleet had driven the Egyptian
troops out, the city was looted by
thieves and cutthroats Three or
four hundred bluejackets were landed,
who stopped the outrages by arrestiug
every person found with plumber in
his possession.
On arrest person was tried by
drumhead courtmartial and the sen
tence, shooting or logging, was ex-
ecuted without delay. An English
man, Mr.. Hulme Beaman, who as
sisted in Furnishing the robbers, de
scribes in his book, Twenty Years
in the Near East, Il dangerous ex-
perience from which he was enabled
to emerge by cool, fearless, bulldog
pluck.
He had been detailed to superintend
the tlogging of two prisoners and the
shooting of third, the sentence to be
carried out at their native village, n
nest of thieves. There were ten
thousand of the riffratf looking on.
Five policemen lEgyptians) and three
Englshmen represented law and order.
The prisoner, sentenced to be shot for
murder, was fitted into shallow
grave, and the policemen fired volley,
amid the excavations of the mob.
Only Mr. Beaman and the Egyptian
officer commanding the police under
stood what the mob were saying, and
the Egyptian begged the three Eng.
lishmen to get away while yet there
was time. They, however, insisted
on seeing the hogging carried out,
and remarked that the slightest symp-
tom of fear would excite the mob to
murder them
The logging exasperated the crowd,
already excited by the execution,
and they pressed close round the Eng
| lishmen.
at is time to put an end to infdels
torturing believers" said Il portly
old Arab shelkh, close to Beaman S
elbow.
The Englisbman seized the Arab,
and told the mob they should be
ashamed Of themselves to sympathize
with murderer and thieves. A sui.
len silence followed. The prisoner
placed in carriage, in which n police
man and two Englishmen also rode
the third riding horseback alongside
was driven at a walk through the
dense throng to Alexandria, where &
courtmartial ordered them to be
logged.
The next yea that sh eikh called or
Mr.. Beaman a. Cairo, brought witt
him little presents, admitted the jus
tice of his punishment, and he anG
Mr.. Beaman remained the best O
friends. The faintest sign of weak
ness would have turned that mob into
furious wolves.

The "pnII.naek. skirt.

The skin-tight skirt, known fifteen

skirt has worked its way into favor
gradually, aud now it is declared to
be the correct skirt OF the day. This
new undergarment is made of finely
ribbed woven silk. The upper part of
it looks not unlike jersey, only it Is
much longer. 1t is pulled on in the
same way, over the head, aud clings
To the figure. This sheath of woven
silk reaches as far as ten inches below
the hips. Here it is finished with Il
band of coarse mesh lace insertion,
through which ribbons are run, which
are tied at the back, drawing the gar
ment closely to the figure. To this
band Of lace insertion a silk hounce is
attached, which is now all that re-

TALES OF PLUCK
And ADVENTURE.


Pierre lie Count, an old trapper. Of
Wisconsin, who died recently, retained
a distinct recollection of almost every
incident of Importance in his long
life. Encounters with fierce beasts
were of so common occurrence that II
was with difficulty he could lie induced
10 refer to them or to give details once
the incident was mentioned. The
killing of three bears in as many min
utes-one with a bullet from his old
fashioned muzzle- loading rifle, the
second with an axe and the third with
a knife-was one OF lie Counts recOl-
lections, and four great srars across

his body was prepared for the grave,

the old mother into devil. She had
