ately. my heart nearly bursting and
my legs working like fury.
"As began to realize that l was
gaining little my exertions were re-
doubled. knowing well that any
siackening OF pace or an extra leap or
two on the part OF my terrible foe
would put an end to the race and my
life almost simultaneously. Having
gained a little. glanced around and
saw the tiger was still coming on, and
at great pace.

straight road opening before me. You

just before crashing into 1t, l leaped
from the machine and scrambled over
recklessly, feeling certain that tho
tiger was gaining. 1t goes without
saying that / literally threw myself
into the saddle again with frantic en-
ergy, and pedaied away from the In
exorabie monster. / heard the tiger
leap over the fallen tree, and, sick at

II fancied that if remained perfectly
still the tiger would drink and then
go away into the jungle again. A;
one time / wondered IL he could hear
the humping of my heart-beats, and
my mouth was so parched and my
tongue so stiff that l was in mortal
dread lest l should make some incau-
tious sound. l was entirely unarmed.
Presently saw him drop his beautiful
head again and begin to lap the water.
As he raised his head again l knew
that one single false movement on
my part must inevitably attract his
notice. Following every movement OF
the huge monster with terrible anx-
iety, / was at length relieved to see
him apparently about to return into
the jungle whence he had come; but,
alas! some little bird moved in the
bushes around me and the effect was
instantaneous. The tiger stopped sud
denly and wheeled round like light
ming. his great eyes fixed intently on
the very spot where lay. He paus-
ed for a moment, and then, to my in
deseribable horror, commenced to
creep slowly in my direction. AS the
dreadful creature advanced saw him
carefully inspecting every branch and
leaf in his way, now and then stopping
altogether, and squatting like a gigan-
tic cat. Probably he had by this time
scented me. At suy rate, after an
other short pause he continued to adj
vance upon my hiding place in the
same cautious manner.
In an instant l conceived the des-
perate idea of making dash for the
bicycle. Leaping to my feet, fairly
hurled myself in the direction OF the
bicycle. / threw myself upon it, and
with the impetus so gained began to
glide swiftly along-even before my
feet touched the Enthusiastically rae

OLD YOUNG WOMEN.


Root of the Evil Is In Parental Indui-
Eencs.
One OF the saddest features Of pres
ent-day life is the condition OF ennHi
in which even the very young women
settle soon after their school days are
finished, says the Philadelphia Times.
At is or 10 they have been everywhere.
seen everything, possessed whatever
their desires have prompted, and Just
when life should be most filed with
beautiful promises they are hopelessly
stranded on the barren shores of indif-
ference. The root of this evil is to
be found in paternal indulgence. The
American father and mother work
hard, saving all they can. denying
themselves luxuries and ofttimes neces-
saries as we'll, that their daughter may
revel in that which they have never
taken the time or the means to enjoy.
From her earliest infancy the girl nnds
that her lightest wish is to be graft
fed II It is possible, regardless OF the
fact that what she desires may not be
becoming to her age or to her condi-
ton of life. That she wants 1t is all
that the parents consider. so that when
the time comes that such qualification
would have some significance she is
pest enjoying It. She has nothing to
look forward to, she Is surfeited. and
should she marry, her husband will
find this ennui the greatest bar to their
domestic happiness. A little more de-
NAL in early youth, plain food, plain
frocks, simple pleasures up to the time
of her debut. should be the rule, when
the delight Of new sensations will more
than compensate for the doing without
that which has marked her pathway up
to that time.

PATCHES WERE SEAMLESS.
Would You Know How Our Grand
mothers Did 1t:

mothers Did 1t:
Our granGmothers prided themselves
upon their patching. For time the
art languished, but, fortunately, dur
ing the last few years, since sewing
was introduced into the public schools.
the children are all being taught the
manifold uses of the needle. and many
a mother has to confess that her little
daughter can turn out a far better
patch than she can herself. Sewing is
fashionable during Lent, and here is
little lesson on how TO insert invisibly
patch in serge. muslin, or any mate
rial easily frayed out: First, cut away
the torn OF worn out part, SO as to
form either square or rectangular
opening. Second, to I i up exactly this
hole, cut corresponding piece from
a material of the same texture and
color, allowing on eisi.sr side a margin
which, when frayed out, will form four
projecting tapes in the semblance of
the arms of a cross. Third. apply the
patch thus divided into five exact sec
lions or squares in such way as to
have the solid center filing up the
hole to thread. Tack the four arms
on the foundation framing the hole.
Fourth, thread a fine needle with the
two ends of thin strand of silk.
doubled in two to form a loop; with
this needle and silk darn straight
row radiating from one of the edges
of the patch. Before drawing the silk
right through, slip into the loop one OF
the frayed out threads, which hold
lightly in place with the thumb of the
left hand. Now pull the needle, and by
this movement both the silk and the
frayed out threads will be drawn into
the material, the smaller or pearl
stitches scarcely showing on the right
side. Be careful to have the darning
started from the very edge of the patch
to avoid any appearance of a break.
Repeat thus thread by thread. These
frayed out threads, being about two
inches long, can not be threaded and
darned without some skillful manage
ment, hence their introduction into the
loop silk to drag them A.ouga he
running stitches.

GREAT JUMPING BY A MULE.
Over Manger and Through an Open
ing 21 by 80 Inches in Size.

From the Richmond Times
A most remarkable story. the truth
of which is vouched for by Major Il. Il.
Seden the well-known street car man,
and several of his employees, concern
ing two full-grown mules jumping
through q small window in the old
horse car stables in Manchester, has
just come to light. The story as re-
lated by Major Selden, and sworn to
by several of the most reliable men in
his employ, is as follows:
The blacksmith, Henry cambridge
(who has since died). was required to
go to the stables daily to examine ana
replace all shoes that had become loose
or been lost while the mules We're at
work. On the occasion referred to
above he had purchased a neNA sheep
skin apron, which the mules had never
seen, and when cambridge went into
the stall without warning. one of them,
Bet" became alarmed at the sight of
the leather and leaped through the
open window to the ground outside.
Major Selden says he came in about
this time and upon learning the cause
of the excitement, ordered the man to
go back into the stall. and when he
started the mule reared up and was
about to repeat the performance. He
feared the mule might not be 50 for
tunate in the second jump and told the
man to come out of the stall.
The Maggie" mule, says Major Sell
den. jumped through a window the
same size on the opposite side of the
stable and as far as he could discover,
upon close examination, neither OF
them received the slightest scratch.
He says tracks We're plainly visible on
the outside where the Bet" mule
landed and made an effort to turn and
again face the window. she being still
battered to IL scantlnG on the inside.
The halter chain. four feet long, was
attached to Il beam four and Il half
feet above the floor on which the mule
stood.
Window opening, 1 foot 3 inches by
> feet inches. Trough. feet wide.
Top of trough to floor. = feet IL inches
From bottom of window sill to ground
outside, feet Z inches.
Major Selden says BET" was selected
from fortytwo mules owned by the
Richmond and Manchester Railway
company on account of her size, as
regular tug, to draw cars up the hill
from North and Cary to Ninth and
Main streets and would weigh about
$50 pounds.
