dangerous. and burned the manu-

The Great Art Of Oyina,

To die without rebellion and without
weakness is the masterpiece Of 4 man.
A mountain guide whose name the
London Mail does not mention in mar
rating the story Of his herOism. with
two others. was leading u party over
one Of the most dangerous passes OF
the higher Alps.
The men. as is usual. were tied to-
ge:her by a long rope. As they scaled
a wall Of ice they slipped on the edge
Of q frightful chasm. The guide was
at the end Of the rope.
Without his weight there was a
chance for the others to regain their
footing; with it his experienced eye
told him there was none. With in
slant courage he drew his knife from
his belt and said quietly to the man
next him:
"Tell mother how 1t happened, Ed
mOnd."
He cut the rope and fell. never to be
seen again.

FEATs OF CRAFTSMANSHIP.
Wonderful Shooting Of Captain 30.
aardus and Or. Carver.

sardus and Dr.. Carver.
Old gentlemen of the period just aft
er the war Va. tell you sadly that
there are no such shots as there used
to be. In this connection II Is inter
esting to note that 81, 600 was wagered
against 500 that the champion OF the
world could not hit u hundred consec'
utive birds. Many amateurs. not to
speak of professionals, frequently
make such q score without arousing
comment in these days. Captain BO-
gardus was to be allowed three trials.
II he lost the first two and made the
third the money was his. and. by the
way, he used a twelve gauge. full
choke, ten pound gun, and his load
was five drains of black powder with
No. . shot. He loaded his own shells
or had them loaded according to his
directions.
While shooting in England his load
was challenged by one Of his defeated
rivals, who asserted that the CHAM
pion's phenomenal scores were the re-
suit of his superior shells. The cap
tain suggested that in their next match
both contestants should use his am
munition, to which the Englishman
eagerly consented. The captain was
delighted, for we'll he knew what would
happen to the action of the light and
delicate English gun under such a
charge. Before the match had pro-
cceded very far the Britisher with
drcw-for massage.
With the invention and success OF
the ball tossing machine a craze Tor
ridiculously high scores swept the
country. Five thousand balls in 500
minutes. 5.194 out Of 500. In seven
hours and twenty minutes-these were
some Of the stunts that delighted the
hearts of the gun people Of that day.

IN A ROMAN CAB.
A Party Of Disguised Americans and
an oversratsfu! Driver.

~ V0Txy 0u OSS9OSSe0 NsuSIsSOUS OU0
an overgratsfu! Driver.
In Mr.. Howells' Roman Holidays
and Others" is this delightful story
of an adventure in Roman cab:
In returning from the Pincio the only
cab we had been able to get was the
last left Of the very worst cabs in
Rome. and We had hidden the driver
wait for US at the church steps, not
without some hope that he would play
US false. But there he was, true to
his word, with such disciplined fidelity
as that Of the Roman sentinelS who
used to die at their posts. and we
mounted to ours with the muted
prayer that We at least might reach
home alive.
This did not seem probable when the
driver whipped up his horse. 1t ap.
reared to have aged and sickened
while We were in the church, although
We had thought 1t looked as bad rs
could be before, and 1t lurched alarm
insly from side to side. recovering It
self with a plunge Of its heavy head
away from the side in which its body
was sinking.
The driver swayed on his box, hav-
ing fallen equally decrepit. In spite OF
the restoratives he seemed to have ap-
piled for his years and infirmities. His
clothes had put on some such eject
of extreme decay as those Of Rip Van
Wrinkle in the third act; there was
danger that he would fall on top OF
his falling horse and that their raj
ment would mingle In one scandalous
ruin.
Via Sistina had never been SO full Of
people before; never before had It been
SO long to that point where We were
to turn out Of 1t into the friendly OBJ
security Of the little cross street which
would bring us to our hotel We could
not consent to arrive in that form; We
made the driver stop, and We got out
and began overpaying him to release
us.
But the more generously We over
paid him the more nobly he insisted
upon serving US to our door.
