An Ancient VIII

Vellelus Blaesus, a man of consul
lar rank and remarkable for. his i'm
mense wealth, in his last illness was
anxious to make some alterations IN
his will. Eeguius, who had lately en-
deavored to insinuate himself into hts
good graces, hoped to get something
/ from the new Will and accordingly
addresses himself to his physician
and conjures them to exert all their
skill to prolong the poor mans life
But after the VIII was signed he
changes his character, reversing his
tone: How long" says he 10 these
very same physicians, do you intend
keeping this man in misery? Since
you cannot preserve his life. why 90
you grudge him the happy release If
deatho"
Blaesus dies, and as if he had over
heard every word that Regulus had
said has not left him one farthing.

THE EXPLOIT OF PIONEER
SCOUT ANDREW POE
g. Western Newspaper Union.

Andrew and Adam Poe, two BROTH
ers, were scouts In the pioneer days
OF Ohio. One day when the Poe
brothers were leading party on the
trail of band of Indians who had
raided the settlements, they left their
men 10 try TO locate the savages. The
brothers became separated. On the
bank OF river Andrew came upon a
giant Wyandot chief and smaller
Indian who were standing with their
rifles cooked but looking In another
direction.
Poe's rifle missed fire when he shot
at the chief and the Indians at once
discovered him. Before they could
shoot, the scout sprang upon them,
selling both around the neck. The
small Indian jerked loose first and
while the chief held Poe, his COM
panion tried TO get In death blow
with his tomahawk. Andrew allowed
him To come close. Then with one
mighty kick he planted his foot In the
Indians stomach, hurling him back
ward and knocking the hatchet from
his hand.
When the little Indian got his breath
back and recovered his tomahawk, he
advanced 10 the attack again and sue
ceeded I'm woundlng Poe in the arm.
A second later the scout pulled him
self from the grasp OF the chief, seized
one OF the Indians guns and shot the
warrior as he advanced to attack him
a third time. Poe was no longer fight
Ing against odds and he Immediately
attacked the chief.
The ground was wet and slippery.
In another moment the indian and the
white man, locked in each others
arms. fell into the water and each be-
gan trying to drown the other. Final.
ly Poe seized his enemy by the scalp
lock and held his head under water
until he believed the chief was dead.
When he released his hold, however,
the redskln renewed the struggle. BY
this time they were fighting In deep
water. Seemingly at the same time
both thought of the one loaded rife on
the shore and both started TO swim 10
get II. The Indian was the better
swimmer and reached the bank first.
AS the chief picked up the gun, Poe
turned back In the water and began
diving to avoid bullet The chief.
