"Sure enough, there lay monstrous puma,
shot straight between the eyes.
After tlat,' Harry naively continued, T
kept good fire up all night, and couldn't
help thinking how lucky it was that stayed
by Silas, else he would have been torn to
pieces sure
"Well, Cap, held on all this forenoon
without firing shot, thinking that / might
hear some of you coming along; but at last

And once more the dear boy Rugged me
In the exuberance of his JOY
thought it quite possible that some 9TH

stantly came two responsive shots-one from
the east and one from the south. Then to
render the reports easier TO locate, | climbed
out of the ravine, and again three times dis
charged my Winchester.
The answers came quickly as before, and in
half an hour Tom Watson and James Horn
by arrived almost simultaneously. Both men
were unfeignedly rejoiced to find Silas alive,
What did i tell you, Cap?
Having now the requisite help, and pos
sessing, as you know, some little skill in sur
gerry, | set the broken leg, and secured it in

with some difficulty, hoisted the in

ward-trending elk trails, as, outside of these,
any progress, with such a burden, would have
proved nearly impossible.
Even 80 we got along very slowly and were
some distance from camp when night over
took us; but, we had our axes and plenty
of elk meat, we made ourselves very comfort
able.
cat day break We resumed our journey,
and when, by certain landmarks, we judged
ourselves to be within mile of camp, we fired
a volley, which brought the remaining five
men out in hurry to meet us.
"Ihe good fellows were overjoyed at the
recovery of Harry and Silas, and it was really
touching to see the change wrought in the
latter by the all undeservcd kindness and
mercy with which he was treated He did
not say much to his, deliverer, but his eyes
followed the boy with an. expression OF love
and gratitude in their no longer sullen depths
which could not be mistaken; while Harry
himself was more truly happy in his noble
revenge than if the wealth of the world had
been laid at his feet.
"After two weeks of hard work and any
quantity Of glorious hunting, we returned, by
way of the river, to Lake Quinaiult, where
we left Silas Costing in careful hands to COM
plete his cure, while we made our way back to
civilization.
"The repentant mans greatest trial seemed
to be in parting with Harry; but the chival-
rous boy, in conquering an enemy, has saved
a human soul and gained for himself life

and place to prove his gratitude"

Begged Parent to Kill Him.
How Father Of Walter Aann Was Driven to Most Horrible Crime
by Financial and Family Troubles.

am ready to die. and your boy is not
afraid to die. Don't you be afraid to
stab me. Just make it easy and don't
hurt me any more than you can help.
l want to die with YOU"
With eager, trembling hands Walter
unbuttoned his shirt and barred his
twelve-year-old bosom, ready for the
death thrust Of the cruel, long bladed
knife. He did not have long to wait
for in the next moment the knife had
sought Its mark. AS his life's blood
streamed forth he reached up and
kissed the hand Of his murderer, MUIR
muring:
I'VE will be together"
Then the father sent the blade twice
toward his own heart, but did not
strike it.
The hoy, although dying. tried to
stanch the blood from his fathers
wounds. but fell dead with the blood
soaked handkerchief in his grasp.
Amann was formerly wealthy, but
lost his money in speculation and in
bad factory investments. A large es
tate in Germany. now in process of
settlement, would have furnished him
considerable fresh capital. but he had
reached the stage Of despair where he
could not wait.

Harassed to the point of desperation
by financial and family troubles, Hen
ry Rudolph Amann, aged forty-three
years. Of Chicago, murdered his twelve
year-old son, Walter, and made two
vain attempts to end his own life by
stabbing. He Is now in the hospital
at Fort Sheridan and may not recover.
Prior to killing his boy Amann tried
for two days to lose the lad by leaving
him at points in Lake Forest and Fort
Sheridan, but the boy, suspecting some
such intention, foiled the attempts.
Finally the father told the boy that
he meant to commit suicide, and the
lad, who loved him dearly. pleaded not
to be left alone in the world and asked
his father to kill him first. They sat
down on the lake front and talked it
all over and finally signed an agree
ment to die together. They conceived
the plan of walking suddenly in front
Of the targets where the Fort Sheridan
soldiers We're firing and thus meet
death, but were driven away by the
guards. Then the father purchased n
small bottle Of laudanum, intending to
stupefy the lad first and kill him when
asleep. But the boy agreed to die
without the drug.

her attractive and then to be forbidden
to wear that dress because it does
make her attractive. A woman who
has the freedom Of choosing her own
clothes and having them made to suit
her has no idea how annoying it is to
have this freedom stopped when she
marries and is made to conform with
some other persons ideas. OF course
I admit that there may be difference
Of taste, but every woman knows just
what suits her own style best, and
when repeatedly she is forbidden to
wear what to her mind makes her
attractive looking life becomes almost
unbearable."
