Tabb. in the Atlantic. ^ WILSON HOWARD. J Ilfflj 1 T9^J NE day in the late summer ? IsJ I was balf dozing on my II liorse as I herded a bunch of- cattle on a wide exjjljj i5p pause of grass land in a Western State. I was losing the forms of things about me when a quick movement of my horse recalled me to consciousness, and I saw tliat two horsemen were approaching. They had just appeared over a low ridge of sand hills that lay across the trail leading to the upper ranges along the river. They came toward me at the easy, shambling gait of the "cow pony," suiting their horses with the perfect ease of long practice. As they drew nearer, I noted the dignified bearing and the letter quality of dress that often distinguish the ranch owner from the tiired rider. But perhaps I should have paid little further heed, and let them pass as ixtcnni visitors vidinsr for strays, had *iH>t the gray locks of one of them given iiim an appearance of age which his orect citrriage and vigorous face plainly belied. Naturally I kept my curiosity to myself, but I watched the man closely as be made the customary inspection of my herd, then rode on. But that evening I mentioned the strange appearance of my visitor to my employer. "Oh, that was Dad Howell," he said. "He- came by here." 4 He is really old?" I said, drawing Inference from the fact that Carter called him "Dad." "No," replied Carter. "Little past forty. The other man was his brother, itnd the older by several years." Then lie told this story. The Howell brothers, George and ' 'Allen, caine West early, and established themselves on the Arkansas River. The range on the public domain iwas then open and free. They had plenty of room for the grazing of their tierds, and as they possessed some means, and were intelligent, progressive men, they were soon in possession of a large "bunch" of cattle. It so happened that the Texas cattle trail ran through the region in which the Howell brothers had their ranch. Along this \rail large herds of cattle were driven every year, from the breeding grounds in Texas to the maturing grounds in Montana and Dakota. With all regard for the honest and upright among them, truth demands that we say the men who composed the outfits on the trail were often the riffraff of the Lone Star State. Not infrequently, when these men were returning empty handed, they sought to enrich themselves by turning "rnstler," and taking a choice lot of cattle back with them. Soon after the Howell brothers came West a gang of these rustlers, led by one Cal Smith, gathered up a bunch of ? ? . 1 ~ n?'1 r.+nt'+n;] e/tll + h The UUIUC rtUU CIA11VU dWUiu. AMV men gave chase. They followed the thieves for a week, and finally brought them to bay. But they failed to re cover iheir cattle, and returned, losing three of their number. With this example stir fresh before i tbem, the ranchmen quaile.l when Cal Smith repeated his raid as he returned from Montana the following year. But realizing .iat their business would be ruined if these raids were allowed to t continue, and that it would be useless to appeal to such law as had at that time been established, a few of the braver men, with Allan Howell at their bead, crossed the sand hills in pursuit. The rustlers had several days the start of their pursuers, but were encumbered with the h-.rd of stolen cattle, and must travel slowly. The stockmen went out with their luggage packed on their relay horses. They ithus avoided the impediment of camp ,i,wagon, and could move rapidly. Afte;.two days of hard riding they overtook the outlaws. * Bet the latter were prepared to receive them. On sighting their pursuers ithey had rushed the cattle across the practically dry bed of the Cimarron River, and bunched them on a "flat" r.t .the bao? ol a bluff. Then with a guard posted to prevent them from scattering. tho gang took post on the top | , the hill. Dismounting, they rested their rifles across their saddles and | calmly waited. It is no discredit to the stockmen that they halted atarespectful distance. To rush into an affray with so well posted an enemy would nave been the Leiglit of rashness. "Well, I dunuo," said a big Missourian, after tli?y had carefully surveyed the situation. "I hate to beat out. but them cutthroats seem to have the best 7 ?f us this time, sure.*' "It doesn't look as ji a fellow would enjoy his cattle long aftei he got in there whl> them," observed another. "But, boys," said Allan Howell, "you tenew when you started out what you were coining ior, auu ium j? uu umc to falter. "VV'lio will zo ou with me and get those cattle?" jHe was answered jy an ominous* sivIence, which was broken by the big voice of Cal : mith taunting them: "If I* you want these cattle, come and get f them. Don't keep us waiting." Howell looked in the faces of his men and saw that while they were brave men who would not hesitate at fair odds, they would not deliberately throw away their lives. lie could not blame them. The odds were insur-. mount. ' "J!- Still, he was unwilling tu turn uac-K without accomplishing his mission. He thought for a moment, then turned to his comrades and said: "Roys, I'm going after those cattle, and 1 want you to lie rerdy to fight off #l?p rustlers when J bring them back. ^ Get off your horses and net as if ; were waiting for me t~ have a talk w them, but be ready." To all appearances, Allan Hov rode forward to confer with the c laws. They evidently so explaii his action, for they allowed him to vance unmolested to the foot of bluff. Here he had gained the fart side of the herd. He was also screei from the outlaws by the brow of hill. Looking back, he could see that men had obeyed his orders literra and were sitting or standing about easy positions, but keeping convenie ly near their horses. Ho noted. 1 that the cattle were restive. Suddenly Howell wheeled his ho | to the right, dashed along the base the bluff, and tearing his yell "slicker" from his saddlebow, he flau ed it with one hand, while with i other he discharged a volley of six And he yelled as only a cow-man c yell. Now there is nothing that v frighten a Western range steer wo: than a waving slicker, and as How expected, pandemonium broke loose once. With wild snorts and a gr< clashing of horns thD herd rust away. The guards, dashing up. only creased the stampede, and directed upon Howell's party, who opened th line to let it pass, then closed up 1 hinH if tn nrevent nursuit. The cattle were recovered! Fri the stockmeu there went lip a gre shout of triumph, from the bluff a y of rage. And the solitary horsemi galloping in the wake of the fleei herd, became the target of a vicic volley. One bullet carried way his hat: < other paralyzed an arm. while a tlii killed the horse under him. Down went with a great crash! To Allan Howell's.horror, the anim in falling, pinned him to the groui Handicapped by his wounded ar his utmost efforts could not avail draw his leg from beneath the hor Meanwhile, the earth about him w torn with the leaden hail. More ter ble still, he saw through the dust clo that his comrades, supposing that was coming saieiy uu, ?ea- xnm.11 after the cattle. Wounded and he less, he was being .ieedles$ly ab: doned by thooe whose iuterests he h sought io serve. Then the fire ceased, and he hen the thread of a horse's hoofs. Lo< ing up, he saw one of the desperado riding up, with his pistol'leveled., T sickening terror of ceath came up him with the blinding flash. The next moment he realized, to 1 surprise, thai; he still jived! One mc bullet had entered the body of poor < Tom. Then the man, a mere b< swung himself from the saddle. "Lie still until ire get away," said, in an undertone. With a ruigh effort he pulled the dead horse fr< Allan's leg. Then he continued, "1 sorry, mister, but I'll have to take yo six-shooter, or the boys will come for and make trouble," and pickin'g up t weapon, he rode away. The next Allan Howell knew, t big Missourian was raising him in 1 arms, wbile iiis comraaes were suu ing about, looking on with deep cc cern and sincere contrition. "Oh, he's coming out of it no boys!" the big man said, with r. ringi note of gladness in his voice. Th addressing himself to Allan, he cc tinued, "We didn't see you go do^ and thought you wore safe till t dust cleared away. Then we cai back to get ye, Allan. The rustle have skedaddled, and you're out danger. So don't worry." But he was not out of danger.

The consumption of prunes in the n? United States exceeds 100,000,000 se* pounds yearly. Prior to 1886 the sup** ply came almost wholly from France 1'" and the Danubian provinces, and sold i under the designation of "French" or he "Xurtisii" prunes. ns In the yecr referred to, prunes of Amerciau growth appeared on the m; market, and with each succeeding year or] * the supply has increased, until the importation of foreign fruit lias been reduced to extremely small proportions. Much the larger portion of the prune ,es supply is the production of California. 0 -where climatic peculiarities are exou tremely favorable for its production. In Santa Clara County alone there 11S are 3,700,000 trees growing on 37,000 acres, 100 to the acre, yielding 330,000,000 pounds, or thereabout, of green fruit, or thirty pounds from each fullgrown tree. The quantity of prunes somewhat exceeds 110,000,000 pounds ?more than enough for the requirements of the whole country, but the ^ excess, with that raised in other local!l"' ties, is needed to supply the export demand from Great Britain, Germany and France.

POSTMAN'S STOKE PALACE. Building Wblcli M. Cheval Has Erected With Odd-Shaped Stones* After twenty-six years of unaided work M. Cheval, the postman of Hauterlve, in the Department of Drome, France, has completed his ideal palace. Some months ago the N?w York Sua j { described this building, of which a i picture is now printed. M. Cheval was led to start the building by tripping over an odd-shaped stone. He carried it home and the next Queer House Built by a Frenchman. day found another. Then he began a j systematic hunt for what h_- calls nature scupltures, with the idea of using them in a building. The palace is about eighty-five feet long, forty-five feet wide at one end ( and. thirty-three at the other. In the 1 centre is a gallery with a catacomb at either end. Those catacomDS sneuer all sorts of strange animals and figures. For a Barbary tower, which includes j a grotto of the Blessed Virgin, the postman-architect spent seven years in W: A: . f- | J 11 TRAYS OF PRUNES. ' j hunting the stones and putting them | in place.

J.?James Boucher, a at well known young man of this city, di and a nephew of Dr. A. Norval, of 381 Main street, left Tatersou about two Li weeks ago for Scranton, Pa. The last *? person to see him as he boarded the j? train at the station was Miss Mae Ag- j? nes Morton, the nineteen-year-old Ci daughter of Alexander .Morton, of 72 Madison street. Boucher and Miss of Morton were sweethearts for several St years. He had proposed marriage to fe her, but her father had objected. As th he stepped upon the fpftin for Scranton he handed lier a small-box. ry "I'm going to Scranton to kill my- ^ self," he said. "When you hear about it open this box of tablets.

The next day a dispatch trom scranton said that Boucher had been found ri; dead at the Lackawanna Hotel in fhat city. Heart disease was given as the dv cause. n Miss Morton, however, believed that of Boucher had committed suicide. She opened the box he had given her and examined its contents. It contained half a do^en harmless looking tablets. 1 Q( She dissolved the six tablets in a glass of water and swallowed the liquid. Immediately the girl was taken ill and Dr. James Smith was called.
