quickly attracted the attention Of the
ferocious Kentuckian.
With a terrible calmness this man
passed his hand under his collar at the
back of his neck and deliberately drew

Clay said he would never forget the
expression Of the colonel's eyes at that
moment. They told, as Enthusiastically
as signs can tell, that the threat would
certainly be fulfilled, and this convic-
ton evidently impressed itself upon
the mind of the offender.
During a very few seconds his eyes
met those Of Bowie. With all his brute
strength he was the weaker man, and
he quailed. With a muttered curse he
threw his cigar away, upon which
Bowie coolly returned the knife to its
sheath and, without another look or
word, refolded his cloak about him and
lay back as before

OLD ROMAN BATHS.

Tiny Hold Theatsrs, Temples, Feast
ing Halls and Libraries.
The ancient Romans were extrava-
gantly fond Of bathing. They got their
notions about the bath as a luxury
from the Greeks, and at one time there
were nearly 900 public bathing estab-
lishments in Rome, some Of which
were the most beautiful and elaborate
structures in the world.
The baths Of the Emperor Diocletian
covered more than half square mile
and contained, besides immense basins
and thousands Of marble recesses, the
aters, temples, halls for feasting, prom
enades planted with trees, libraries.
schools for youth and academies for
the discussions of the learned. The
batherS sat on marble benches below
the surface Of the water, around thu
edge of the basins, scraping themselves
with the dull knives of metal and
ivory and taking occasional plunges
into the water.
Dissipated Romans would spend
whole days in the bath. seeking relief
from overindulgence in eating and
drinking the night before. Everybody,
even the emperor, used these baths.
which were open to every one who
chose.to pay the price of admission.
1t was not usual for the old Romans
to have baths in their houses, though
at date 1900 years before that, or
$500 years ago. the noblemen of an
cient Greece had their dwellings sup
piled with baths Of terra Gotta.

He Hadn't Heard Of Socrates.

A big policeman who walks a beat
near the Greek settlement in the north
side always gets angry when he hears
this told at his expense, but there are
those who will vouch for its truth:
About a month ago q young mar
very much excited, rushed up to this
policeman and exclaimed:
"Say, Jim. did you hear about q
Greek by the name of Socrates taking
poison?"
II did not" Jim replied innocently.
Then he added. thoughtfully strokine
his chin: "Sure, that's the first time l
ever heard of Greek going up against
anything stronger than what he sells
in his own coffee houses. 1 guess I'd
better look this up and bulletin all the
details to the department. It's an un-
usual case."-Kansas City Journal.

Dramatic Incident of Pioneer

A STAGECOACH ADVENTURE.
The Thrilling Scene When the Terribly

Desperate, as II Was Described by
Henry Clay, Who Witnessed 1t.

Henry Clay, Who Witnessed 1t.
Upon a certain occasion in his early
manhood Henry Clay was travelling in
public stagecOach in Tennessee. His
fellow passengers were young lady
and her husband-the latter evidently
an invalid-and a man in the front
corner so muffled up in a fur lined
cloak that his features were concealed.
He appeared to be rather under than
over the medium size and was evil
IDENTIFY enjoying refreshing slumber.
By and by big, brown faced.
brawny Kentuckian got into this
coach, smoking rank, coarse grained
cigar. He gazed around fiercely, as
though he would impress upon the
minds Of his new companions that he
would chew up and swallow any one
who dared to interfere with him. In
short, he was half horse and half ALI
gator, with a goodly sprinkling Of pam
Their and grizzly bear thrown in. He
pulled forth huge volumes of smoke
without the least concern for the COM
fort Of his companions. 81
Presently the lady. who seemed to
be growing sick, whispered to her hus.
band, and the husband, in the politesf
manner possible, asked the stranger II
he would not throw away his cigar, as
the smoke greatly disconnected his
wife. With an impudent, staggering
stare the fellow replied, interlarding
his speech with several oaths:
+ II reckon I've paid for my place.
I'll smoke as much as I please, and I'd
like to see some one try to stop me-"
He looked dangerous as he glared
around, and it was very evident that
he was used to quarreling and strife,
and, furthermore, a struggle with him
might have been deadly one. The
young man who had spoken to him
shrank back and was silent. The lady
lowered the sash by her side for a
breath Of fresh air.
Mr.. Clay felt every gallant instinct
Of his soul aroused. He considered for
moment whether he should interfere
and found himself reluctant to draw
upon his own head the brutal violence
Of the gigantic ruffian. In that then
lawless country he knew that his life
might be sacrificed unavenged. He
knew himself to be physically un-
equal to the contest, and he thought,
after all, it was not his duty to risk
his life in some quixotic manner.
Clay was settling back with pity for
the insulted and disgust for the insulter
when suddenly, but very quietly, the
cloaked figure in the corner assumed
an upright position, parting the buried
mantle without a particle Of excite
ment, thereby revealing the small, well
knit, muscular frame Of a man plainly
dressed In closely buttoned frock
