Now confes from the same land a story of another wedding at long taiige, but this time by viva voce. Albert Perry is a cowboy, and Emma Mojcr is the daughter of a ranch man near I'eiry. O. T. They had arrang-; cd to be married. A heavy storm had swollen the streams -and made it impos sible foe the minister to teach the ranch to pei form the ceremony. But a little thing lil.e that could not daunt the young lovers. They drove to the bank of the stream that barred the progress of the minister, and he shouted his questions, and they shiieked their responses across the boiling waters.

Hired Assassins Are Xnmeroim In tliz Gay Trench Capital. irante is today terrorized by scion bands of assassins and robberb. It was a member of one of these bands who at tempted to assassinate M. Labori. coun sel for Dreyfu. The deputy chief of the seeret service of the French go eminent admits the ex istence of thei-e oiganizatious of crimi nals. AH the tragedies nud alleged sui cides in connection with the Dieyfus case are now said to be traceable to these dubs of criminals, some of who-e inemlxre are believed to lw officials of the goerumeut. So Gtrongl.i intrenchtd u ith political in fluence and mtuey are these leagues of outlaws that the mik, cot runt police dare not tij n bnak them t-p or een ar rest their Liemhcrs, who commit the most atrocious dimes. The stmr of this new reign of terror in France seems more like :t tale of the Kreii'-h revolution, says the New York Journal, than of the actual condition today of the foremost of Eu ropean iepiiblici. One of the most infamous of these gangs is one which haunts that fashiona ble quarter along the Seine known as Cour la Heine. Onre this band was led by a woman ami made its hunting ground the fortificati ns and the adjacent streets and glass plots. The fortilications are exceedingly difficult lo police, for the rea son that the moment a person has been robbed or muideied his body can be slip ped down into the dry moat many feet below without noise. The band haunting the fortifications and led by the woman was one of the most dieaded in all the French metropo lis. She was notorious for the utterlv useless cruelty which characterized most of the crimes perpetiaUd by Lei hand. Her band is now reorgani7ed and carry ing out its old time, atrocities. Her baud included the I.assoocrs, which inspired a more than ordinary amount of terror not only to the people, but to th police, from the fact that it included among its numbers, con n from the western states of America and guachos from the plains of the Argentine Ilepub Iie,ho had become acquainted with the use of the las&o and of the IniIu. By this uican.s numbers of people were strangled into insensibility before they had time-to catch even a glimpse of their adversuties. The woman herself was captured a couple of jcirs ago and is now living in the penal colony of New Caledonia, wheie the is destined to spend the remainder of her dajs. The Cour la Heine band proper, con sists of men. well diessed. who have none f the appearance of the ordinnry crimi nal. Their hands are gloved, and the cut of their coats as well as the shape of their hats is irreproachable as regards the dictates of fashion. Equally elegant in their attire is that last and most Nrangorous. of the seven bands of cthniiiah known as the "Habits Noirs," which may be roughly translated as the "Evening Dress, band." It is to the "Habits Xoirs" that belonged both Pranzlui and I'rado, each of whom ulti mately je.piatcd his crimes on the scaf fold. The men are mostly good looking arid well die--ed. They are likely to have the ?te THE LASSOOF.ES AT WORK. buttonholes of their coats adorned with the ribbons of some foreign order. They frequent the reading and smoking rooms of hotels as well as picture galleries and similar places of entertainment during the day and cafe concerts at night. They do not disdain the acquaintance of men, especially if they happen to be foreign visitors, ml ate only too ready to pilot them to haunts where they can be robbed in one fashion or another with impunity. Yet, cs a general rule, they look to women as their legitimate prey. In one manner or another they manage to scrape an acquaintance with their victims, and once tl.ey have achieved this the rest is easy, for woe betide the woman who al lows even a scrap of writing, a glove, a handkerchief or a card to fall into the hands of one of these adventurers. It is used at once for purposes of terrorism and of bl.vkma:, and unless the woman has the good sense to immediately appeal for protection to some male relative there is no limit to the depth of the degrada tion to which sbe will be dragged. Fortunate indeed is she if she escapes with her life, for when the "Habit Noir" has extorted eerything that he can from his victim by means of blackmail and terrorism he usually winds up by robbery and sometimes murder.

He never had a chance to be lonesome iu the polite, kid gloved way. The lone fcomeness that crushed in upon him was that of utter, absolute, unthinkable soli tude, the solitude that dines men wild in the icy fas'tnesses of Alaska w hen they get blown aside and lost from tho beaten paths of men. Of course he had been bom to it or in digenous to it and was acclimated by slow degtees. so that it didn't stiike him entirely as a sudden experience when the full sense of battenness began 'to play upon him.

"The hardest won bet I ever made," ! remarked the tra elins man as tie shook the ashes off his cigar, "was to carry four bricks half a mile. That sounds like a simple thing to do, doesn't it? Well; you try it and you will find out whether It is or not. Of course the manner of carrying tho I bricks is important. A man bet me that I couldn't carry two bricks In each band from wheie we were back to tho hotel and put them up on the bar. The bricks were to be put side by side and grasped, two in each hand, . between the thumb and lingers, the Angers pointing down. J was not allowed to stop and rest, nor to put the bricks down. "Well, thought I, that's 2 easily earned, so I took the bet and started. For'a quarter of the" distance it was easy and I -already felt those two sil ver dollars In my pocket. But then my fingers began to grow tired. The mus cles between my forefingers and thumbs were soon aching terribly. My arms began to pain me and to thtob like mail. I found myself setting my teeth together and the cords in my neck were in a high state of tension. When I came within a hundred yards of the hotel there was scarcely an Inch in my whole body that was not aching as if I hail been stuck full of pins. "I don't know how I managed to go that laht little distance. I could no longer stand erect, and I was trembling like a Jptif. and yet the other fellow was alongside, laughing as if to split his sides. And when I got into the bar room. It was all I could do to raise first one hand and then the other and put the bricks on the counter. I know that I couldn't hae goi.e o0 feet farther.

Ed James, a well known popular min ing and cattle m:.n of Ungle, X. M., un derwent the thrilling ordeal one uighi not loug ago and jet liv'S to tell of his terrifying eiperimce. It may be desira ble to state, says the San rraneisco ex aminer, that Mr. James is known for his truthfulness. When the mining man left Chloride, a thriving mineral center, some oO miles "I SAT FACING DEATH ALL NIGHT." across the plains from Encle, he was in excellent spirits and little thought the' night would bring him the most dreadful tortures of his life's experience. The miner had been isolated for the past IS years in Chloride, wheie he controls valu able mining properties and cattle enter prises. The railroad dogs not penetrate into the camp. As a consequence while going on his recent trip to this point Mr. James was obliged to travel overland on horseback, and, knowing it would be im possible to reach his destination before dark, he supplied himself with a "cowboy shakedown," which consisted of a pair of blankets and a canvas sheet. These were the means of saving him from a most horrible and lingering death. Asdarkness overtook the horseman up spread his blankets ou what appeared to be a convenient and suitable space of desert ground within an inclosnre of rocks of small elevation. lie then al lowed his animal to graze in close prox imity and, being fatigued from his long journey, "turned in" and was soon lost in deep repose. In a short space of tim0, however, he was awakened by the pecul iar stamping and neighing of hjs horse. He arose and proceeded to where the creature stood, when he was greeted by the soul stirring rattling and the pres ence of an unknown number of squirm ing, hissing, writhing rattlesnakes encir cling his path and environment. A full moon revealed the reptiles in great numbers, and the perilous position 9nd surroundings of the startled man can be easily imagined. , Beiug possessed of the instincts of the frontiersman from long living, on thj plains, the awe stricken miner well knew that to" disturb the treacherous vipers would aggravate them into a frenzy and a tendency to strike, which was equiva lent to instant death. So he nwaited a favorable opportunity, then coolly lay down, covered his entire body and had with the blankets and remained in that awful position until daylight. The miner actually lay in a den of snakes. By exeicising much presence of mind he crawled to a place of safety and fiom a near distance stoned and killed 12 of his hideons bedfellows. The fortunate traveler reached Kngle the following day, careworn and considerably aged and per plexed in mind from his perilous predica ment of the night before. In l elating his harrowing adventure Mr. James, however, manifested no out THE SAME OLD STORY. Told on the Streets of Akron as Well as filsewhere. Some things you cannot tell too often.

"At times I found it difficult to breathe." s.jij Mr. James, "and that frightful feeling of crawling reptiles across one's body is indescribable. When I was first nttracted by the uneasiness of my horse and as 1 proceeded to ascertain the cause, it was a dreadful sight that met my gaze. The moon shone sufficient ly for me to distinguish the crawling rep tiles. Seeing my dangetous position, 1 stood erect and iu an entirely composed state, not twitching a muscle. I must ime looked like oue planted and petri fied. "I remained in that attitude fully 20 minutes, then, as quickly as I can tell it, doubled myself up securely. This I con cluded the wisest move, for if I attempt ed to run 1 might go into the very, nest of the rattlers, and I knew that if I remain ed perfectly quiet the creatures would not molest me. "How 1 longed for the gray dawti My brain was ablaze frpm mental anguish, and the time was desperately tedious. At last tho interior of my catacomb dwelling revealed slender rays of approaching day, and, carefully securing a knife from my pocket. I jabbed the blade through the canvas about a quarter of an inch and cautiously peered through the opening. Fortunately theTe were "no snakes in the immediate tieinity that I could discern, though but a few feet distant I could ob serve several lazily stretched upon the ground. I concluded to take a desperate chance, as the confinement and torture of mind were driving me mad. I put my plan into action by desperately throwing., the coverings from me and was on my feet in a second nnd running at break neck speed." THE DOORBELL. It Tells What Manner of Man Ton Are by Yonr Ring:. Doorbells are pretty fair indicators of character. Probably you have not been conscious of It, but every Ume you pull a doorbell you register what manner of man you arc. Vour ring will not tell everything about you, from the color of your eyes to your taste In flowers, but to those who know the signs the doorbell is as good as a tiUe page. Any one wbo has bad occasion to answer bell pulls knows how much difference there Is in them. One pr son's method varies little from time to time, though the difference between that method and somebody else's, while slight, will be sufficienUy well marked. It is seldom that two rings are exactly alike. The housewife recognizes each, the I impatient man. who pulls the bell twice in quick succession and does not wait long before trying it again; the one of moTe phlegmatic temperament,"" . whoso ring is slower and more sub stantial; tho hesitating woman, .who draws the knob out In a succession of nervous jerks; the seedy individual with matches to sell, who stretches the wire carefully to its full length and then allows it to relar with a faint, apologetic tinkle, and the jolly friend, wbo knows he is welcome, and therefore grasps the knob with a hear ty swing that is fairly eloquent with good natnre. and sets the bell to shak ing its sides with such peals of echo ing laughter that it positively cannot stop at onre. but subsides gradually with a merry. Irrepressible little titter. A doorbell his as many voices as vis itors. Berlin (Md.) Uemld. A To cell Dantam. A letter in s. Glasgow paper records a phenomenon much too remarkable to be reserved for Scottish consump tion. The writer says: "An acquaint ance of mine, who lives up north, has among others of the feathered tribe a little bantam cock. A "few weeks ago he noticed that It was looking the worse for a slight difference of opinion with a canine friend, but did not ex-, amine it closely till bis mother's and sisters' vociferations brought him In a hurry. There was the bantam pick ing away at corn, but the corn was dropping from a rent In the bird's chest just as fast as it was lifted. Not wanting to kill the bird, my friend got a needle and some horsehair and stitched up the tear, with tbe result that the bird now Is as good as new." PILING UPTESTIMONY.
