Certain men weie determined to down me or drive me out, and I have been Crowded to the wall. Look out for me l If I am struck and abused here, I will kill some one l " No one dared strike him or make his lot the more miserable, until one day a new guard was put on who boasted of his intention to humble the giant pris- oner. He was advised to let the man alone, but he caught at the first oppor- tunity to make his words good, and the results were disastrous to him. He was picked up bodily and hurled against the stockade with such violence that he Was rendered a. cripple for life. Big Pete was loaded down with irons and chained to the floor to undergo weeks of punish- ment. Before the end of the week he was at liberty. He was the man the dogs were going to run down. There were five of the animals lying in the warmth of the early sun as we got our horses out, and rode up to the stockade. With a word the keeper aroused them and tossed a convict’s jacket into their midst. Big Petc had left the garment behind in his prison. The dogs gath- ered about it with many a said” and growl, nud without orders began to circle the stockade. Half way down the curl: side they caught the scent and gum tongue. It was not a bark, such as the decrhound gives, not the "yi, yi, yi ! " of the cur who strikes the trail of the fox or rabbit, but a mournful and long drawn howl, which made one shiver as it reached his ears. There was a creek only 20 rods away. The convict had made straight for the water and ascended the creek. He had destroyed the agent on the earth, but not that left on the vines and bushes. Wherever he had put out a hand or a branch had brushed him he had left a trail. The dogs went forward for a mile at. full run. They did not “Vlad and turn with the windings of the creek, but cut across the bends without a halt. At the end bf a mile the convict had loft tho-creek, crossed a wooded ridge and descended into a ravine. In one place he had fallen at full length. The dogs stopped there for a moment and rubbed their noses on the earth. Later on he had sat down to rest for a mo- uicnt. The dogs halted there and bit at the log and growled in anger. The ravine was 20 feet deep. Not a deg descended into it, but all preserved the scent while running along its banks. We went up the ravine to its beginning on the sido of a mountain. There the convict had left it, gone to the north for a mile over stony ground, and then turned to the cast and descended into a ailment known as “ charley horse." Devotees of tennis acquire “ tennis elbow," an undesirable species of muscle stiffening. Bowling makes its practisers arm~bound, and even writing, which isn’t so much sport as it might be, occasionally is followed by writer's cramp. Of course the latest mania must have its little ill to bear it com- pany, and here it is fully portrayed. It is the bicycle face. The bicycle face is the discovery of a doctor who rides the bicycle with his face as well as his feet. He discovered it first on other people, then on himself, and finally came to the conclusion that everyone who goes forth on two wheels acquires the expressiOn to which the new term is applied. This expression may be divided into three parts: ‘ (a)â€"A wide and wildly expectant expression of the eyes. (b)â€"Strained lines about the mouth. (c)â€"A‘ general focussing of all the features toward the centre. Scientists took hold of the matter, and advanced theories about it. One learned man said that the bicycle face was the result of a constant strain to preserve equilibrium. Up popped an- other scientist, who stated that the pre- serving of equilibrium was purely an instinct, involving no strain, and that if the first man knew a bicycle from a bucksaw he'd realize it. Thereupon the first scientist said that the second had a bicycle brain, and hundreds took sides in the discussion. A prominent bicycle academy instructor here is posi-~ tive that he has solved the secret. The three component parts of the expression he ascribes to the following causes : The phenomenon of the wild eyes is acquired while learning the art. It is caused by a painful uncertainty whether to look for the arrival of the floor from in front, behind, or on one side, and, once fixed upon the countenance, can never be removed. The strained lines about the month are due to anxiety lest the tire should explode. Variations in these lines are due to the general use of chewing gum. The general focus of the features is indicative of extreme attention directed to a spot‘hbout two yards ahead of the front wheel. This attention arises from the suspicion that there is probably a stone, bit of glass, upturned tack, barrel hoop, or other dangerous article lying in wait there. It is temporarily lost. when the obstacle is struck and the bicyclist's face makes furrows in the ground, but reappears with increased intensity after every such experience. Another bicycle ailment has been discovered by this expert. It is a and- dcn nervous twitching of the head around to the rear, and it is noticeable only in female bicyclists. The basis of it is the burning question: Are my bloomers on straight? This ailment has not yet become very general. But the bicycle face seems unescapable as it is unmistakable. Age cannot wither nor custom destroy its infinite variety. Obesity cannot bury it, whiskers cannot conceal it. nor eyeglasses mollify it. It 0. L.

After landing he followed tho bank for a mile and then struck off for a deuso thicket. Not a dog put. his nose to the earth. but all ran with head.- licld high, catching the scent from weeds and bushes and never hesitation. In the thicket they were held back again, but when we had come out on its southern edge they were sent away at full speed. They crossed an old field, ran down a highway for half a mile and then turned at right angles and made for an old log house on the farther edge of a thirty core field. “ Our man is in there and a.- good as Captured," said the keeper, as he rode forward with two guards. We saw the docs dash into the open door and listened for sounds of a con- flict. After a few seconds every animal “in driven out and one was killed at the door by a blow from a club in the bands of the convict. The four dashed in on him again. and only two came out Ollie. These watershed oil“ by the No tree has yet been measured taller than the great eucalyptus in Gippsland, Australia. ' The region between the Nile and the Red Sea was once clothed in forest. So were the Scotch Highlands. The Tea Party tree in Bowthorpe Park. Lincolnshire, England, has a hol- low big enough to place a table with seats for several guests. The oldest chestnut may be that at Torwcrth, England. It is fifty feet in circumference. but the trunk is very short. So long ago as 1135 it was a landmark and signal, as appears upon records. In the West of Ireland was an enor- mnus forest until the sixteenth century. After the Geraldine rising in 1854, this great forest was all cut away by English ~ettlers as a means of depriving the lrish of their last hiding place and reluze. ‘ .. . ‘...-..u _ ____.
