"A better knowledge of the ground hereabouts than any man alive the quickest eyes and ears and legs ever given to a poacher, and a great pair of lungs altogether." "I can do a bit of running, and my wind is sound," said I, with smiling confidence. "Like enough,"drawled my sergeant, eyeing me from top to toe. "Every new hand has a try at Deerfoot, and they all think they have good limbs and lungs of leather until they start in pursuit of liimiS But they carry their tails behind them when they return to the barracks empty-handed. He's a dead shot, too." "I am glad to hear all this. It gives a fellow something to live for. I'm not a bad shot myself." "Neither was Sub-constable Doyle, who had the last steeplechase after Deerfoot and all he got for bis pains was a slug in the knee, which lamed him for life." "And what's the history of this ter ror, sergeant?" "We know next to nothing of him. He has been a wild man of the woods, living in caves or in the trees, or lleaven knows where or how for years nnd years. Some say he is a Fenian that's been out on the hills since'66. All that is known about him is that he lives by poaching, and that Col. Bran agan would probably put down another twenty* pounds if he thought there was any chance of nabbing the wild man." I was a raw sub-constable of police from the black north—Antrim, to be precise—when I arrived, at the end of the seventies, at the little Munster village of Knockmullen. I was burst ing with anxiety to distinguish myself, and here was a splendid opportunity. Knockmullen was a quiet cluster of cottages that seemed to be kneeling piously at the feet of a big white washed chapel. On the north, cast and western sides of the village rose an irregular mountain chain. A stream flowed through the valley and found its way through the southern plain to a goodly river. The mountains were well wooded indeed on the northern slope the timber grew so thickly as to make progress up the slope almost an impossibility. On the eastern side of Knockmullen the mountain chain rose higher than its northern and western arms, and the top was an abrupt and rugged furze-coated peak, some fifteen hundred feet above the sea level. This hill was called Blacknock. At the far side of Blacknock there was a great, wide, sweeping slope stretching down into a tenantless. silent valley—the most desolate spot I had ever seen or imagined—and beyond the valley more chains of hills. Col. Branagan—a justice of the peace and the principal landowner in Knock mullen—lived in a big house at the southern side of the valley. The colonel was full of years and full of sporting fire. He was proud to be reck oned the best shot within a twenty-mile radius. He would probably have ig nored the mysterious poacher, who was fattening on his preserves—for he was a generous old gentleman—only that the colonel knew in his heart that Deerfoot was reckoned to be a better shot than himself. There was very little to do at my sta tion. A petty sessions court had to be attended fortnightly at a town six miles distant, and in the interval lounging and smoking and climbing the hills formed my chief occupations. There was no one in the barracks but my old sergeant and his wife, and the Munster villagers would not, of course, make a friend of a policeman. Months went on, but though kept my eyes open and my mouth shut I never chanced to light upon Deerfoot in my wanderings. Common report assigned to the poacher a home in some mysterious cave at the far side of Blackiiock, and naturally Blacknock was a favorite rambling ground of mine. 1 learned I should have no difficulty in recogniziBg the wild man of- the woods. He was of middle height, very slender and wore no cap. His hair was long and dark and fell over his shoulders. He was black bearded. His costume consisted of a gray and grimy pea jacket and corduroy trousers. One morning I took out a brand new rifle, with which her majesty's govern ment bad just supplied me. I had Col. Branagan's leave to shoot over his land—as a kind of encouragement to me to bring down the bigger game— and I was anxious to have a little qniet rifle practice at some plover which dwelt at the far side of Blacknock. I remember feeling particularly buoyant as I trudged up the hill, my gleaming weapon slung over my shoul der. I got to the top of the knock, and then nnslinging my rifle I descended at the other side to a favorite perch of mine—a big rock jutting out from the mountain side. Here I. could recon noiter. Plover y?as my mission, but if I could by any chance bag peerfoot I wouldn't mind missing t^g birds.. When I got to my rocky pferch, I was glad to sit down-rrmore from laziness of mind than of body—and view the desolate valley at my feet and the bleak deserted hills beyond it. There was a strange exhilarating pleasure in sitting here out of sound and sight of anybody and everything save the birds of the air. And such air! p. 5, I was quietly admiring, the view and the cliair run of my shining rifle barrel' when I heard a craekllng sound which* warned me that some biae was. moving4 tlirougbthe furze underneath me. *|rsfitt4& my a jiff.tie hpp* pf "Deerfoot surging iri my breast, and then I lowered myself cautiously and silently from my seat and hid myself -Sps A- M-fr -h^ xik ^§JL^ ^-w-fc*™.

I grasped my shot-loaded rifle and moving quickly out of my hiding pl^ce I stood (bolt ^upright displayio^ my black uniform to full advantage,' and with my gun pointed straight at the strange man. 1 cried: "Stand!" The stranger turned quickly round, took a swift survey of me, and theo bounded like a deer down the moun tain side. "Stop! in the queen's name, or I'll fire!" I shouted. And as he took no no tice of my challenge I did fire, with what result I could not tell. I saw the furze fly quite close to the poacher—1 ha&no doubt whatever that he was myi&man—but I couldn't say whether anjr£of my shot had caught'h\m. Has tily ramming a new cartridge into my gun 1 started in. pursuit of the fugitive. My plan of action was arrived at in stantly. I would not attempt to dodge him'or seek to make any short cuts. 1 would/keep.my eyes fixed on Deerfoot and follow his every movement. He would be sure to know and to avail himself of every short cut I prided myself on my fleetness and my supply of wind, and my keenness of sight It would be a regular hunt without bounds, and there wouldn't be much fear of my fox running to earth in any of his hiding holes while I had my eyes upon him. The man was certainly a splendid runner. Try as I might I couldn't gain an inch upon him. He had quite five hundred yards start of me, for the dis charging and reloading of my gun had cost some valuable moments. I felt the game would be up if I let fly at him again and missed him. On we flew anyhow, crashing through furze and brushwood, but never halt ing or stumbling. 1 was confident I could overtake the poacher, even if some lucky accident didn't help to de liver him readily into my hands. The man seemed possessed of but one idea—to outstrip me. He never turued once, or faltered in his headlong race down the slope. At last we got clear of the brush wood, and with abound Deerfoot start ed ahead on the level ground at the bottom of Blacknock. lie gained a bit on me here, but I kept up my peckel by reflecting that there was nothing for him but to cross the level sward and try to mount the opposite hill. 1 would have the advantage then, and could easily drop on him when he would start to climb. About half way across the valley— which was really only a wide and in the winter time a somewhat soggy gorge—I felt I was slowly but surely gaining on my man. As he neared the rising ground I knew I was not two hundred yards from him. My heart now beat wildly. 1 feared I could not keep up the tremendous pace much longer. "Stop!" I cried, at last, raising my gun to my shoulder. "Stop this in stant, or I'll fire!" The poacher made no sign of re sponse, so, aiming low, I let fly at him, cutting up the ground at his feet. Though I could not be certain if the shot had caught him, I had little doubt on the point, especially as he dropped almost immediately into a limping trot. I now put on an extra spurt, and, holding my gun by my side, I made a final rush at Deerfoot. As 1 got within a dozen yards of the limping man—already feeling as if I 7 PRESIDE jetting rpi«t W HE POINTED HIS GUN AT MY FACE, had him securely handcuffed—he sud denly turned round, and, dropping on one knee, he pointed his gun fairly at my face. "Throw down your rifle instantly!" he cried, as I pulled up short, the muzzle of his gun within a few feet of me, "or I'll blow your head off!" I was powerless My gun was un loaded. And the poacher was in ear nest. I dropped the shining rifle at my feet. "Now walk backwards," said" Deer foot, still covering me with his gun. "Don't.stoop. Leave your gun where it is on the ground. I'll blow your head into bits if 1 see a crooked move in you. I have been looking for a good breech-loader for some time," he added, grinning savagely at me as I fell to the rear, almost paralyzed. "Come, quick march, constable!" he cried, still covering me with his gun. "Out of my sight, and off my grounds!" Somehow—I don't know how, but I suspect Deerfoot was not the complete hermit he. was supposed to be—the story of the chase got noised abroad in Knockmullen. Even old Col. Brana gan smiled-wickedly at me whenever I chanced to meet him. I took the earli est opportunity of applying for a change of scene, and the powers that be soon shifted me from my quiet station at the foot of Blacknock. VERY PLAIN. A Welsh Parliamentarian's Delicate Ques tion. In the English parliament the ques tion was agitated, not long ago, as to the need of having in Wales county court judges who could speak the Welsh language. The English mem bers contended that there was not the slightest necessity for it an English^ speaking judge would, in every case, do exactly as well as a native. Then Mr. Mabon, a Welsh member, sprang to his feet* "Very well," said he, "let us consid er the matter. Here we are in the county courthouse at nysymaengwyn. I'm the plaintiff. The attorney general is the county court judge. He,'in the course of the case, asks me if I am pre pared to swear that the hoots deliv ered to the defendant, for the price of which sue, were rights and lefts, or otherwise as the defendant alleges.

Sam, a colored man, comes and takes care of my chickens of which I am very proud, but he used to be always talking in this strain. "Yes, boss, youse got some good hens, an' dey lays big aigs, but I got a ole hen what kin lay yo' hens clear in de shade wid de aigs, Dey's monstrous." Going along the river one day last spring I found under some bushes a little bit of a bird egg which some bird had evidently dis carded as out of shape, for it was very long drawn out, and quite a curiosity. A thought struck me. I had got tired of hearing about Sam's wonderful layer. I told him to bring his hen over the next day and if I found she laid eggs as large as he said, I'd buy her at a good price The next day the hen was brought and duly shut up in a box in the coop. After Sam had gone I heard a cackling, and went down sho had certainly laid a meritorious egg. I took it out and put this little egg in its place and went to the house. In the afternoon I heard a racket, looked down and saw Sam thrashing the hen with a brush all about the coop and heard him ejaculating "Wha foh yo' mean?" "Wha yo' gwine an' ack dis way foh, yo' blame ole fool hen 'I'll teach yo' sumpin'." I hurried down and stopped the racket "What's the matter, Sam?*' I asked. (The little egg was gone.) "Nothin', boss, only de ole hen lonesome'way fum home an' ain't done lay no aig yit. Guess I took her back wid me till she larn some sense" Since then I have heard nothing moro abont those wonderful eggs. —Goodall'a Sun. BUYING A STAMP. As Usual, There Was a Good Deal of Talk About It. "How many stamps do you sell for a quarter?" she said to the stamp clerk at the post office. "Twenty-five one-cent ones, or twelve two-cent ones, ma'am." "Don't you give back the odd cent change?" "Certainly," %, "Are they the Columbian stamps or the old kind?" "I can give you either." "Don't the old-style ones come a little cheaper now?" "No, ma'am." "I thought they would. They're out of style, you know." "The government receives them the same as the new ones in payment of postage, and many people prefer them." "But their red color doesn't match some styles of envelopes." "I can't help that." "Couldn't you sell me a dozen of th» old two-cent ones for fi{taen cents?'* "No, ma'am." Couldn't you on Friday?" "No, ma'am." "But that's bargain day in the stores.H "Possibly, but not at the post office" "When is your bargain day?" "We don't have any." "Not have any bargain day! Well, I never!

The Life-Saving Exhibit and the Convent of La Kablda A Huge Cold Storage Plant for tbe Suiu nier Season. .'. (Special Chicago Correspondence 1 The east front of the Administration building has been selected as the most roomy and convenient spot for the erection of the platform for the use of President Cleveland and the other offi cials who are to take part in the open ing exercises. This platform will be connected with Machinery hall so that from the speaker's table the president will have no difficulty in starting the huge wheels in their revolutions. The new plan affords many opportunities 4r picturesque effects, as the position commands the water front and many of frnrtv COURT IN THE CONVENT. A regular patrol system of the entire beach will be kept up night and day to illustrate to the visitors at the fair the careful watch that is constantly kept upon our seacoasts for wrecked marin ers and vessels in distress. This exhibit will undoubtedly prove of great interest to people who come from inland points. Further to the south along the lake shore and just beyond the grand en trance to the lagoon is a building which already attracts as much atten tion as any at the fair. It is a quaint looking structure, built upon the plan of the old Spanish missions, and is situ uated on an island, the outer line of This queer building is an exact repro duction of the convent of La Rabida at Palos, which at one time was a refuge of Columbus and his son Diego when they were in great need of even the bare necessaries of life. Its history is intensely interesting, and many visitors will be drawn to it by the rare and val uable relics and curiosities which it will contain. The old-fashioned convent itself will form a striking contrast to the magnif icent modern architecture on the fair grounds. Its quaint walls and roof and general ensemble of the middle ftges will give the visitor a correct idea of the religious architecture of old Spain in Columbus' time. Inside the convent will be the most valuable relics on the fair grounds, with the possible excep* tion of the American Declaration of In dependence and one OF two other price less possessions of the government. Il lustrations of the life history of Colum bus and relics of the court of Ferdinand and Isabella and of the early history of this continent in Columbus' time will 9*& w-„ LANS the opening exer cises of the Columbian ex os it on a a as in it el a ranged and the public at large can rest as sured that there will be no pri vacy nor prefer me in the proceedin gs. A recent report contained the intelli gence that the exercises were to be held in Festival hall, wherein President Cleveland would ma'ce the opening ad dress to some two or three thousand in vited guests, and from whence he would set in motion the machinery of the great fair, but we are pleased to learn that such an arrangement has been abandoned and the exercises are to be held out doors where the world may be hold the impressive ceremonies. be shown in profusion. The Columbian relics have been gathered from every quarter of the globe for a special exhib it at the world's fair. The story connected with the con is that early in 1492 Columbus, while traveling on foot and in a desti tute condition through Spain, applied for food of the Franciscan fathers in charge of La Rabida. He was kindly and hospitably received. The prior, Father de Marcheita, was a man of edu cation and culture and had a large in fluence in the court of Ferdinand and Isabella. Columbus explained his plans to the prior, who became interested and finally secured for the unfortunate nav igator an audience with the queen of Spain, who with the king was then in camp with the besieging army before Granada. Had it not been for the good abbot Columbus would probably never have had an opportunity to discover the new world. Prominent among the big buildings at the fair is the huge refrigerator or cold storage pavilion, which is located on the extreme western confines of the grounds and just back of the Transpor tation building. In this building will be kept all the perishable goods, such as meats, vegetables, etc., for use in the restaurants at the fair. It will be a very complete building in every respect for the purpose, and in addition to its other features it will contain, upon the top floor, a skating rink eighty-five by one hundred and eighty feet in extent, where, during the hot summer months, visitors may indulge in the novel and refreshing pastime of skating on the ice while the thermometer is doing its best to melt and boil the mercury *on the outside. To the average citizen the process of ice-making is a profound mystery, and through lack of .opportunity he has been unable to enlighten himself on this most interesting industry. Here he will be afforded an excellent chance to study the thing in detail, and the stu dent of refrigeration will find in opera tion every process for the preservation THE CONVENT LA RABIDA. the finer pieces of statuary, and will en able thousands of spectators to get a fine view of the exercises. As far as can be learned at this time this arrange ment has been definitely settled upon and there is no reason to fear1 that any changes will be made. A life-saving station is one of the at tractive features of the lake shore sec tion near the Fisheries building. There is a pretty two-story cottage fitted up with all the appliances of the life-sav ing service, and a steel framed light house one hundred feet high. The sta tion is to be permanent and is in every way a model one. of foods that has been approved by ex perts. The capacity of the ice machines will be one hundred and twenty tons a day, and the storage rooms will accommo date over five hundred car loads of per ishable food. From this it will be seen that there will be no necessity of drink ing warm water or eating melted but ter in the fair grounds. One of the greatest conveniences at Jackson park is the elevated railroad, which is rapidly approaching comple tion. This road winds in and out among the great buildings and reaches every part of the grounds. For aged persons and those who are too frail or feeble to travel about afoot this line will be a great convenience. At a trifling cbst they can be quickly trans ported from one point to another, or ride about the entire grounds and ob tain better views of the buildings than can be obtained from the ground. Another novel and enjoyable mode of transit will be by boat in the lagoon. There will be steam launches, electric launches, gondolas and all sorts of water craft. And just outside the grand entrance from the lake there will be sailboats and rowboats without number, so that the lover of aquatic sports will have ample opportunity to engage in his favorite pastime. Outside the fair grounds in Midway Plaisance there is at present a perfect tumult of excitement. People from every country under the sun are jostling one another in their efforts to get ready for the grand opening. Thousands of people go out daily from the city to see the strange sights from far off lands, and we are already afforded a foretaste of what the coming exposition is going to be among the foreign nations. EXPOSITION ET CETERA. The collective exhibits now stored in the Woman's building are those from Great Britain, New South Wales, Cey lon, Paraguay and New Mexico.
