horse which frightened even Hawkeye

A fox scream is not usually heard
more than few times in lifetime.
My first experience with the sound

Not having with me rifle, toma-

knife with which all the heroes Of
Harry Castleman and Mayne Reid, my

Chill War Artillery
Man Meets His Target,

In wars soldiers aim to get the
enemy. But when war is over a sol
der Is glad his shot missed the target
as he comes face to face with an
enemy he missed.
/ @. Stuart Patterson, the veteran law
yer and bank president, told friends a
few days ago of personal experience
of that kind.
Mr.. Patterson was a member Of that
Philadelphia battery which embraced
so many men who afterward became
distinguished, including besides him
self John G.. Johnson and "Hans Brett
manu." celebrated humorist, says Gil
rard in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
In the Gettysburg campaign, Mr..
Patterson's battery was sent to Car
Isle. The guns were posted In the
center of the town where now runs
the railroad.
Gen. "Baldy" Smith, in civilian
dress, was on the job and strolled out
to reconnoiter the position Of the Con-
federate advance.
Returning to the town lie walked up
to the Philadelphia artillerymen and
said: There is the enemy, half mile,
In that direction. You may begin fir
ing"
It was in that engagement Mr.. Pat
terson was wounded.
Years afterward he met Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee, who said:
Had you aimed your shots few
feet to the left of where they first fell
you would have killed Gen. 'Jeb'
Stuart and myself. We had a close
CALL"
"That is one time" replied Mr.. Pat
terson, Il am glad completely missed

Old Helicopter Model

A model of helicopter from plans
drawn so years ago by Sir George
Cayley was constructed recently by
Paul Gerber, custodian of airplane
models in the National museum at
Washington. The design, although
conceived years before an airplane
flew, is strikingly similar to those of
recent helicopters, and aeronautical
engineers assert that with few modi-
fications' based on modern aircraft
principles a large machine construct

One of Jocks Tricks

Late one night Jock, returning home
from work, found young owl which
had fallen from it's nest. He picked
up the injured bird, carried it home,
fed it, and at last placed it In coy
corner of the kitchen fireplace.
In the early morning Jocks mother
came down into the kitchen. to get
breakfast ready for the family, and
was startled by the strange object. But
she soon recovered from her alarm,
for she was accustomed to the many
tricks of young Jock.
"That's our Jock at his pranks
again!'' she smiled. Hes gone and

(, FIND NO TRACE OF
FRENCH COLONISTS
Recent Discoveries In Florida
Indicate Massacre.

Bones Of white men In an Indian
burial mound on Miami beach and .
few scant traces Of an apparent
French settlement near Lemon City,
Fla, have aroused the speculation of
citizens and scientists Of Florida. The
mysterious origin and fate of the set
ti"inent have given renewed interest to
old legends that have survived on the
Florida coast through the centuries.
Edward f. Flannery, writing in the
Miami Herald, describes stone steps
discovered some time ago In Garden
Isle Park, buried under debris. They
have been carved out of the natural
coral formation there. The steps lead
from a lower level Of ground which is
at present the same level as the shore
Of Little river, to a higher level of
gpcund. There four steps are carved
In an artistic way entirely different
from anything likely to have been con-
structed by Indians. Nearby in the
saiae rock is cut an opening which evil
IDENTITY served as an oven.
Across Biscane bay from this APP
parent site of colony is an Indian
burial mound, which contains skele-
tons Of white men, scientists who have
made study of them assert.
Ferney w. Mcyeigh, on whose estate
the stone steps were discovered, has
concluded that French settlement
was established there late in the Eff
teenth century. from a party which
left st. Augustine. History shows that
st. Augustine had some internal
troubles at that time which resulted
in the migration Of discontinued fac
lions to Southern Georgia, and it is
possible that some went to other parts
OF Florida.
Mr.. Mcyeigh believes there existed
In the vicinity of Little river a race
Of Indians which subsequently disap-
peared. They are often characterized
as mound builders.
From the faint evidences remain
ing, some have reasoned that the In
dams were about to attack the set
ilernent, and that the women and chill
dren and older men were sent across
the bay. The Indians. victorious In
the battle, crossed the bay and mas
sacred those who had fed, burying
the bodies after their own customs.
Another assumption is that the
colony was exterminated by pirates.
Many years ago, it is said, pirate OF
the Spanish Main retired to little
home in Orlando, and told his Oldest
son of how he and other pirates mas
sacred French colony near what ia
now Miami beach. Recent discoveries
have tended to give support to this
old legend.
None Of the old coast legends have
explained how the colony came into
being. In addition to the theory that
II wHs formed by people from st. Au-
g,istine, there is support for the con-
