And thlei how bright and cosy the interior of the frott kitchen looked, as )ora Klein stood on the threshold, cold, hungry and inexpressil)ly ,lit weary. A little girl, blue-eyed and blonde we haired, scarcely yet sixteen, with i shy as- purl pect and a shrinking mien, she had walked i; f rom the city, seekingly vainly for work at. hart various places she had passed, and now whc at nightfall she was nearly discouraged. ferc "A girl ?" said Mrs. Myers, dubionsly, tlew as Dorah Klein proffered her meek re- up quest.

The animal had already been wounded ay a rifle ball. Having tarned the village hlikarce to keep close behind ne with the heavy spear he had in his hand, I began to follow the wounded pantther; but had 3carcely gone t wenty-live yards, when one Af the beaters, who was on high ground, beckoneld to me, and pointed a little below tim, and in front of mne. There was the large panther sitting out, unconeealed, be ,weenl two bushes, a dozen yards before me. I could not,. however, see his head ; and whilst I was thus delayedl he cane out with a roar, straight at me. I fired at his chest with a ball; and, as he sprang upon ne, the shot barrel was aimed at his head. In I lie nex. moment lie seized ily left arm and the gun. Thus, not being able to use the rtiln as a club, I forced it cross-wise into his mouth. lie bit the stock through in one pliace, and whilst his upper fangs lacerated my arm and hand, the lower fangs vent in o the gun. his hind claws pierced my left thigh. lie tried very hand to throw Ie over. In the meanwhile the shikaree, who, had he kept. the spear before him, night have stopped the charge of the pan her, had retreated solne paces to the left. ie had instead of spearing the panther, Ihouted out and struck him, using the spear is a club. In a mlotent the anilal was tpon him, stripping himl of my shtkar bar, his Iturbian, my revolving rifle, and the ytear. 'TheI'( man passed by me, hol-ling his vouimded arm. The panther then quietly !rouclied five paces ill front of me. I knew ny' only chance was to keep my eye upon him. I Ie sat wit it all lly despoiled property itripped from the shikaree, around and un ter him. The first step I moved back wards ; keeping my eyes on the panther, I ell upon lily back into a thick bush, hav ng slipped upon the rock. tHere I was till within one spring of the animal, who ppeared, as far as I could see, to be, lot at all disabled by the fight. Nothing .ould have saved mte had he again attacked. retreated step bystep, my facestill .owards he loe, till I got to my horse, and to the lther beaters, who were all collected to ether some forty yards from the light. I imnediately loaded the gun witht a charge >f shot and a bullet that 1 by chance found mnd taking my revolver out of the .holster, md sticking it into my belt, determined to sarry on the affair to its issue, knowing how arely men recover from such wotnds as nine. I was bleeding profusely from large ooth-woinds it the ar"m ; the tenuots of nly left han(d were torn open, and I had five :law-wounds in the thigh. The poor Shi Caree's ari was somewhat clawed up, and f the panther wais not killed, the supersti ioun of the natives would go far to kill this tnan. Terribly frightened as lie was, his xounds were not so bhit as itine. I per lunded 1113' horsekeeper to come with me; mnd, taking the hog spear he had in his 1and, we went to the spot where lay the veapons stripped from the shikaree. A Cw ytrd3 loyond tuem wan. t mntule(1 ie huge panther. Again, I could not see his hend very distinctly, but tired deliberately :chind his shoulder. In One olmomcnt lie vas again upon me. I gave him the charge >f shot, as I supposed, in his face, but had 10 lime to take ailbu. The horsekeeper, in Iesd of spearing, fell upon his back. In lie next itsltant the pantiler got hold of my eft foot with his teeth, and threw mite oit ny back. I struck at himl with the empty pun, and he seized the barrels in his mouth. lis was his last effort. I sprang up, and ieizimg the spear from the horsekeeper, Irove it with both hands through his -side, mad thus killed him. I immediately had ny hoot pulled off. My foot bled profuse y. Fortunately, the wound was in the hiin part of the foot, and not in the instep r i.t.kle; but the teeth had met. Thu Newfnatnt1d1lnd Dog.

They got Young Grizaly, the youptg war chIef of the Apachesa. to enme t us wIth about, savanty-five bravea. Ota (Iiristmas afternoon, about four o'clock, as we were coming through a canon oi our way to camp, a perfect cloud of arrows came (own oil us from the rocks above. One of the Cotmnanches was killed and sev eral of us were wounded. I got three ar rows in my left arm and one in my left hadm. You can see the mark there,' and the Colonel showed a whitish zigzag scar on the back of his hand. "We got out of that place pretty quick don't you know, for it was not a good place to stay. On New Year's morning about sunrise two of our scouts came in and said the Apaches were coming (own the river and intended to at tack us. The boys had a consultation and they concluded to ambush the red devils as they came down in their canoes. 'l'he boys went down and hid in the rocks and watch ed. They said that as I had only one arm that was good, I had better stay up at the cache, so I lay down on my stomach to watch the fight. Presently I saw a lot of black things that looked like logs coie whirling down the river, and then came a lot of sharp reports, and I saw the little white clouds of smoke rise up from the rocks. The Apaches were taken complete ly by surprise, and although some of them got in the rocks, the most of them were shot. or drowned. When the fight was about over, all of a sudden I felt queer. I felt just like when a man is shut up in a dark room and can't see, and soiebody comes in. 1HI may not be able to see or hear the person, but something tells hin here is somebody near himt. I never felt safer in my life than I did up there, bu-t still I turned around to where the pati was, and saw the face of an Apache just con ing above the rock. I jumped up and so did he, I did not have time to get out a weapon, for I could see the fhash of his tomahawk. I went at him and then he threw his hatchet. The (11l edge hit me on the forehead, and it splli my skull open. See-feel that," and the dolonel took the writer's fingers and guided them along a sort of canal or open space on his forehead. "Well, I didn't like that +ery much. I fell down on my knees, aud'I saw all my life inl one second. I said, '(harley, you are gone this time, sure.' I was too near the edge of the rock for the Apache to get behindt me, so I stayed where I was. I was confused, but I did not lose my senses. I was a good boxer, and although I could not see very well on account of the blooj, still I kept my hands going, and I expect ed to feel that fellows' scalping knife on my head every second. He Cut at me two or three times, and cut my'nose and cheek and eyebrow, but I shoved him away. I made a big effort to see, and I got my right eye open and juniped at the Apache and luckily knocked him down. Then I got on top of him as quick as a flash and grabbed at his knife. lie was too sharp for me, aiid Ihe cuti my'thumb open, lint I did not seem to feel it at all. Then he threw his knife away and put both arms around my neck an(d nulled my heul fnwu on ,io .....( and tried to smother me. I (lucked my head so that I could breathe. Both of his hands were in use holding my head and that gave me my right hand free and I used it then, gentlemen, if ever I did. I punch ed him in the ribs in a way a New York prize tighter had shown me and I hit him in the same place every time. Presently I felt something give way. , had broken one of his ribs. Then ever,' dime I hit him I could hear hiim gasp for breath for I was driving that broken rib in on his lungs. In a few seconds his arme dropped down and I felt him bite me in the shoulder and try 10 get inc by the throat. I was getting aw ful weak, but this reminded me that I also had teeth. I fastened them on his wind pipe. I don't remember any more. When the boys came up and found mile, the Apache was stone dead and my teeth had met through his windpipe. The boys rigged up ia blanket between two mules and took me (own to a Sonora ranche one hun dred and sixty milcs off, and tl. re I was laid up for four months. On New Year's mornling my hair was long and of deep b)rown, but five days after, when I got to the ranchie It was as white as it is now. I cameli to miy senses on the 161th of February, but the funny part of it was that my brain wais so muddled that I forgot English and1( Spanish and could 0only speak German. When the peoplo0 spoke to me1( ini iSpanish or English, I could understand it and thought it was Germlan, buit all my answers were in Germnlil.

'I'here has recently returned to Baltimore from Europe ta lady of high social standing, whose Imarried life has been an unusual mlxtnre of romance and unhappiess. Not many years ago she was it helle in Baltimore Society, and many it wooer paid homnage to her beauty. Among her admirers were two in par'ticulir-one a Baltimorean and a sol dier, the other at Philadelphian, rich and prominent. Both courted her assidulou1sly, and at length she decided between them and chose the I3althinoreanu for her husband. The marriage was celebrated wit hi great, splendor, and was one of the fashionable events of the time. The gay belle became a devoted wife and uimother. ILess than two years ago the husband died, leaving his wife with four children. I Her grief was intense, and when, a short time ifterwarl, one of the children died, she thought her loss greater than she could hear. Now the diitl t carded lover appears in the midst of her grief and renews his suit., but she refuses to listen to him. At the opening of another year she is found watching by the siek hccd of her youngeat child, when the rejected suitor again appears and oilers his comfort, his aid and his heart. She was driven by necessity to necept his aid, and after the funeral of heryoungest child she mnarriel him. Together they sailed at once for Europ hui hardly had the ship left the wlnrf wlt, she found that the man she had married was it jealous tyrant. Ier every net was mtisconstrued by him into an iInpropriety. Iis treatment of her was shameful, and the remembrance of that. voyage will always remain horrillle in her mind. When they reached the Continent his tyrinny cont inue't -and as a htst resort, she confided her troubles to a partl' of Balt imore friends that she met. With them she found a place of refuge. foon after she returned to 13alti more withl her new found triends, leaving her jelous husband on the other side of the wiat er. She is now living in retirement among those who will see that, she never suffers again at the hands of the m who was so kind whent a wooer, bu so tyranini cal wheti a husband. - T111n111% I*recautIo11K.
