mired and worshiped the master, and
it is hard to be thrust back by those
whom we love.
When the sky in the east grew sud-
denly gray, and quickly changed to
pink and gold, off rode the huntsmen.
Behind and beside them ran the gam
boiling beagles. On foot came beat
ers, horse boys, dogboys, and a very
few bearing rifles. In the island of
spices-Ceylo must no more
shoot an elk than one would shoot
fox, but run him fairly down with dog
and horse, and the keen hunting knife
to win the horns.
They were we'll in the wild Malulla
country before the sun was hot. Thick
cts of jungle were there, and rocky
brooks and gullies deep and stony.
"'Tis somewhere here he lies; twas
from here we heard his bark. I'll swear
it," growled McNaughton.
As he spoke near by a densely tan
gled thicket that no dog larger than
beagle could worry through, old York,
the veteran of many hunts, gave
tongue, barking as terrier at a rat
hole.
An angry, roaring, barking cry! The
thicket is burst on the other side and
out runs the great elk, with spreading
horns thrown high and furious eyes.
| Among the first behind him was the
swift runner, Rama.
The elk went straight away over
mountain shoulders; he crossed big
bowldered brooks with a rush and a
| bound. He scrambled down Jungle
covered ravines, deep and rocky, and
| dashed up the other side. He climbed
the mountain, but the veteran beaters
were already there with waving arms
| to head him off.
With set lips-no yelling now-the
horsemen followed. And ever at his
heels the beagles and the swifter deer
hounds yelped and snapped.
Twice he plunged into deep jungle
and lay in the depths painting, but
the eager beagles worried him out.
From the second thicket he fed,
wearied. McNaughton had watched
that thicket closely.
Back of us lies the Mulalla lake."
he condescended to explain; and
hardly had he spoken when the
jungle opened and out came the wild
eyed elk and charged the crowd!
Clean through them all he burst.
Young Prior's horse SHE'D and threw
! him. The servants howled in dis
may and scattered. The elk rushed
right through and was again away.
1--WE have lost him!"
"Head him off"
"He's making straight for the
| lake!"
But the dogs and McNaughton fol-
lowed, and, as swift as a horse on
that uneven, stony ground, ran
Rama-Rama, the swiftest of run
ners.
Straight for the lake went the

traight for the lake went the

quarry, straight for the precipice
where no horse or dog could follow.
AT the edge the beast faltered and
turned at bay. The dogs sprang on
him, and he tossed them high in the
air. McNaughton saw hope and
leaped from his horse, drawing his
long knife, making ready for the
dangerous attack.
But the elk suddenly turned and
leaped, and a great plunge followed
the leap. The dogs yelped dismally
on the brink. The beaters walled.
But, almost as quick as the elk,
Rama, dived.
McNaughton looked over, silent,
breathless. The dog boys cried out
in amazement. The elk was swim
ming. Rama dived deep and came
up. The elk saw him and swan mad
ly for him, believing. Rama had his
long knife in his teeth and dived
again. The elk rose high in the wa
ter with a loud below of agony, and
the lakes surface was stained with
blood. Rama had stabbed him be-
hind the left shoulder, deep into the
heart.
A looped rope was on the pommel
of saddle, and before the dying ami
NAL could sink. Rama had it passed
to him and had slipped the moose
round a hind leg, himself lodging
the sharp hoofs and horns cleverly.
Then the bearers cheered and chat
tered and howled as they hauled up
the elk and Rama. McNaughton, in
whirl of delight, dived deep into
his pockets and handed to Rama as
many rupees as he could hold in his
great fist. But Rama turned away,
bent his head and did not touch the
money. All the beaters and servants
were silent in astonishment at the
refusal of so much wealth, but Nc
Naughton understood. He turned to
the crowd.
Behold" cried he in their own
tongue. Behold! Henceforth my
best of huntsmen, leader of all of
you and chief, whom misjudged
and to whom l make gift"
He smiled on Rama, and Rama
looked up and smiled, and there was
peace between them.-St. Louis

CAPTURE OF JOHN MORGAN.
How thc southern Freebooter and
His Men Were Taken by Colo
mel ShnckclfOrd.

BY the arrival of the Cleveland &c
Pittsburg train one morning we were
placed in possession of the particulars
of the closing scenes of John Nor
gans great steeplechase through the
Hoosier and Buckeye states, says the
Cleveland Herald.
Gen. Brooks, commanding the de-
partment, had gone to Wellsville and
established his headquarters in the
Cleveland d Pittsburg depot, where
he was assigned by the managing own
ers of the road, who had placed the
transportation and telegraphic re-
sources at his disposal. Finding that
there was a probability that Morgan
would cross the road at Salineville,
train of cars was sent up the road
about six o'clock Sunday morning,
with a regiment of Pennsylvania in
fantry, under command of Col. Gala
CHER. These were disembarked at
Salineville and marched to point
about two miles distant, where the
confederates were expected to cross.
The infantry were posted on some
rising ground commanding the road,
with orders to prevent Morgan's pass
age. In a short time the expected
troops made their appearance, coming
around a bend in the road. On catch
ing sight of the infantry, they halted
and turned their horses heads in an
other direction. Before they could get
out of the trap in which they found
themselves, Maj. Wray, with $50 men
of the Ninth Michigan cavalry, dashed
among them and commenced cutting
right and left. The Johnnies made but
a brief resistance. a few shots were
fired by them and the whole party
broke in confusion.
Men dismounted, threw down their
arms and begged for quarter, while
others galloped around wildly in
search of a place of escape, and were
brought to time" by pistol shot or
saber stroke. Morgan himself was rid
ing in a carriage. Maj. Wray saw him,
and galloping up, reached for him.
Morgan jumped out at the other side
of the carriage, leaped over fence,
seized a horse and galloped off as fast
as horsefesh, spurred on by frightened
heels, could carry him. About couple
of hundred of his men succeeded in
breaking away and following their
fugitive leader. In the carriage thus
hastily evacuated" by Morgan were
found his 'rations," consisting of a
loaf of bread, some hard boiled eggs
and a bottle of whisky. Morgan and
the remainder of his forces pressed
three citizens of Salineville into their
service as guides, and continued their
flight on the New Lisbon road.
One of the guides made his escape,
and rode back, conveying intelligence
of the route taken. Forces were i'm
mediately dispatched from Weilsville
to head him off, another force followed

Ontrnn Them All.

Half dozen old soldiers were ex-
changing "reminiscences the other
day in Ottawa, Kan, and were telling
each other just how the civil war
should have been fought. "Curley'
Harrison, local joker, happened
along and listened awhile. Finally
he became trifle weary and said:
81 am going to found new associa-
tion of old soldiers, to be composed
exclusively of those who admit that
they did not put down the rebellion
and who further admit that they got
scared and ran repeatedly. There

tary career. L was at Miami, and
that is saying a great deal. Miami
may not be as conspicuous in the
military history of the world as
Lodi, or Waterloo, or Gettysburg, or
Chickamauga, and a few other places
/ might mention, but Miami is mil
it8ry fact which the historian, for
trnth's sake, cannot overlook. Miami
was at one time the center of gray
ity, so far as l was concerned, and
even now when L toast my shins
around the CRATE on these bleak,
wintry days, and feast my mind on
retrospect, 1 find that all of mem
ory's roads lead back to Miami.
Miami! There is somewhat of magic
in the name, and the symbols which
spell it seem to stand out in huge pro-
portion, faring and prophetic, and
it has a rhythmic sort of sound
which thrills every corpuscle of my
veins and arteries, tinging my cere-
braol circulation with a wild, burning
sort of frenzied fervor. Miami! The
battles 1 fought there-the fierce
charges-blood knee deep-the dying
the dead-the shouts of victory,
and all that sort of thing-but all in
the mind, you know, while waiting
for orders to move on the enemy.
But to get back to my unique
achievement in marching a dead COM

and l was commanded to male a
charge. I started out through the
woods with all the desperate daring
and enthusiasm of the soldier, head
ed for the point of attack, with my
lnen four abreast. Directly the
major dashed up. 1 saluted him.
After a few hurried preliminaries, he
asked: DO you know that you are
marching company of dead men,
l confessed that L did not, and re-
marked incidentally that L had
worked up considerable military fer
vor and determination on the belle
that my men were all alive, and

The major saved my life, because the
artillery would have moved me down
in short order. The major was a
West Pointer. The attack which ]
started out to make was just little
maneuver for training and exercise
When the major found me marching
my men against the artillery four
