Big Jack

Big Jack was breaking pigs. He
wore q pair OF blue overalls and .
white cloth cap, and nothing more.
Noon, on . pile Of pig iron. IN the Bills

and place for the elimination Of
clothes The huge negro swayed
rhythmically as he worked. his black
body glistening with perspiration. the
heavy bullying muscles Of his back and
arms contracting and relaxing with
powerful ease. He raised the big bars
OF iron, and hurled them to the block
below, swapping them in two.
Big Jack usually whistled or
hummed as he worked, but to-day he
was doing neither. He broke the heavy
pigs In glum. morose silence.
What irritated Big Jack was that
he had been thinking; that whole,
long, bitter morning had he thought.
This was absolutely without precedent
in his whole history--it was note
worthy, epoch-making. The thing that
had thus engrossed his mind for such

ing to decide what to do to Henry Led,

Henry was q mulatto who worked
about the furnace ~ an extra man.
Big Jacks wife was dead, but she
left him daughter. who kept his
cabin wonderfully neat, and cooked his
meals delicately.
The girl was very dark, with pass
able features and q perfectly nodded

the mulatto Of sinister designs. Late
one night. he came home and found
his daughter seated comfortably In
Ledbetter's lap. The giants wrath
fiared up. He shook monstrous ist

Ledbetter obeyed Big Jack literally.
He left the house. and never again
darkened its door. He avoided this
forbidden darkening by arranging his
visits in the depths of the night. On
moonlight nights he used the window
as an entrance
Big Jack had discovered the ruse
all too late Even at the very moment
he was eating a miserable, half-done
lunch, cooked by neighbor woman
who was staying with his daughter
through her sickness.
The giant was not entirely without
precedent in his dilemma. The negro
was about so years old. A certain
scene on the old plantation, witnessed
by little pickaninny. years ago, in
the dim days before the war, had been
repeating itself to his mind all morn

Former Wild Cattle of England.
From the Court Journal


Chillingham Is imposing structure
wl.h four great towers, standing IN pic
ruresque gardens and fine park. in
which is the herd OF wild cattle Of the
breed which once roamed over Eng
land. The castle dates from the twelft!i
century and is most Interesting old
place.
Chillingham wild cattle, with those in
'adZow forest. in Ianarkshire are the
only two purely wild breeds now in ex-
lstence. OF pure white with back
InuZzles. parts of the ears red and white
horns with black tips, they are handsome
creatures as the famous picture by
Landseer of a Chiliingham bull shows.
Vt one time there We're herds of wild
.a.tle at several Drumlanrig and
Dalkeith. two OF the Duke of Buccleuch 5
Scottish seats: at Whal!cy Abbey. Leigh
Park. androSsan, Violation Park Glad
stone Park. Gunton Park and al Lyme
Park. Lord NeWton'S splendid old place
in Cheshire-but they either gradually
died OUT through interbreeding or We're
killed off
The latter fate befel the herds a: Dal-
keith and Leigh Park, the cattle both
cows and bulls. at Leigh being So dan
ceroLS that the owner early in the La
century had them all shot. Writing in
I571 of the wild cattle in Scotland. Hec-
tor Bruce describes the bull as having
the fierceness of the lion and the Craft
ness of the serpent. If one were caught,
said this authority. he soon died OF min
gled rage and grief. II is pity to think
that of the wild cattle of England, which
were plentiful prior to the conquest only
TWO herds now remain.
