were wild looking fellows, most OF
them somewhat intoxicated, all pro-

the toughest element of the we'll nigh

The next morning Long Hair was
tracked to the rivers edge. He had
been wounded, but whether seriously
or not could only be conjectured. A
sprinkle Of blood, here and there quite
a dash Of it, Redeemed the grass and
clumps Of weeds he had run through,
and ended close to the water, into
which it looked as if he had plunged
with view to battling pursuit. In
deed pursuit was bafhed. No further
trace could be found by which to fol-
low the cunning fugitive. Some Of the
men consoled themselves by saying,
without believing, that Long Hair
was probably lying drowned at the bot
tom of the river.
"Pas du tout" observed Oncle Jazon,
his short pipe askew far over in the
corner Of his mouth; mot bit Of it is
that Indian drowned. He's jes' as

1t finally transpired that Oncle Jazon
was partly right and partly wrong.
Long Hair was alive, even as a fat
cat perhaps, but not drunk, for in try
Ing to swim with the rotund little
dame jeanne under his arm he lost
hold of it and it went to the bottom
of the Wabash, where it may be lying
at this moment patiently waiting for
some one to fish it out Of it's bed deep
In the sand and mud and break the
ancient wax from it's neck!
Rene de Ronville, after the chase Of
Long Hair had been given over, went
to tell Father Beret what had hap
pened, and, finding the priests hut
empty, turned into the path leading to
the Roussillon place, which was at the
head of narrow street laid out in a
direction at right angles to the rivers
course. He passed two or three dimin-
utive cabins, all as much alike as bee
hives
As Rene passed along he spoke with
a gay French freedom to the danes
and lasses who CHANGED to be visible
His air would be regarded as violently
brigandish in our day. We might
even go so far as to think his whole
appearance comical. His jaunty cap,
with a tail that wagged as he walked;
his short trousers and leggings Of buck
skin and his loose shirtlike tunic, drawn
in at the waist with broad belt, gave
his strong figure just the dash Of wild
ness suited to the armament with
which it was weighted. A heavy gun
lay in the hollow Of his shoulder IN
der which hung an otter skin bullet
pouch with it's clear powder horn and
white bone charger. In his belt were
two huge flintlock pistols and a long
case knife.

Teach me. o seers that trust!

To cast to the tramp at my door?
Shall tear off each luminous thing
To drop in the palm of the poor?

QUICK GAS METER.
One of the Difficulties of Consumers
in Eastern Cities.

Consumers of gas in New York
complain Of 'fast" gas meters, and
the companies admit that the meters
do get out of order and mark more
gas consumed than actually went
through the meter, but they assert
that the meters also ego slow and do
not mark all consumed. Investiga-
tions have led to the estimate, says
the Philadelphia Press, that 20 per
cent. of the meters mark from
4 to Is per cent. more gas than
is consumed. The same condi-
ton Of things is said to exist
in Philadelphia and in other cities.
The state inspector makes examina-
tions in New York. There is no pro-
lection to the consumers of electric
ity, no inspection Of themeters being
provided for, though the gas in
spector in New York holds that there
is great need Of the inspection of cleo
trio meters. Evidently this opens an
interesting field to consumers Of cleo
tricity and gas.
