Some were busied with eatinas but all stared hard at the straagers taking in every detail of theirdres, but with eyes resting long eat upon the handles of their shining new weapons. "How!" said a big Indian, presently, extendnlag his hand in token that he wished to examine one of Tim's re Volvers; For answer the prospector drew the weapon, tossed his "Ashley" hat high in the air and shot two holes through it. As the hat fell the nearest Ute seized upon it and passed it from hand to hand, while the Indians examined the ragged tears in its crown with as tonishmbnt and admiration. "How-how-how!" they exclaimed, and Tim and Henry now squatted in Indian fashion at a fire. They sat opposite each other, that either might observe all movements in the rear of his fellow. While Tim reloaded the chambers of his Colt one of the Utes brought two pieces of meat, spitted upon sticks, and signed to the strangers that they should cook and eat. The prospectors immediately set their spits to roast, while they kept keen but careless eyes upon the crowd about them. Eiidently the Utes had been not a little taken aback at their sudden ap parance and the manner of it. The savages were in a quandary. They refused to converse In the sign lan guage, but shifted into uneasy groups, and cast frequent suspicious glances at the timber-fringed crest whence the -'newcomers had descended. Tim nad Henry grinned at each other with an air of utmost coifldence. They suddenly arose and kicked their rizzling roasts into the Are. As quick as thought, Vesey stepped across to the captive boy, aseied the lad by his soulder and set him upon his feet. SThe Utes sprang to their feet with angry cries. They had their weapons in hand, but before a man eould fit an arrw to his bowstring the pros pectors had whipped out their re velvers, one in eac hand, and were backnag away with the boy between thenm! In the face of those gleaming weapons and. the flashing eyes which glaneed along their barrels, the Utes hesitated. In that instant a rife cracked upon the ridge and a bullet whizzed its warning above their heads. The startled Indianas looked upward to a white wreath of smoke upon the blnf and then bolted for their horses They were followed by more shots em the ridge, while the boy marched bstween his rmesers, stretching his bawsh to the heights and shouting joy "ade mio!

Parched with thirst, the babble of the brook sounded most temptingly in his ears; and he felt that one cool, delicious draught might yet restore to him some hope of life. Just then a Sheep passed near. "Pray, sister, bring me some water from yon stream," said he, "Water is all I want, I do not ask for meat." "Yes, replied the Sheep. "I know very well, that when I have brought you water my body will serve for meat." MORAL-1t is Ilfficult to live down a bad reputation. GLASS-HEADED ARROWS. savages of Tierra De ruees* Tp Their Shafts with Piteee of Drokes eBottles. A British surveying expedition re cently returned from Tierra del Fuego brings back some curious news regard ing the advance of civilization in that far off land. The Fuegians now have glass heads to their arrows, and they obtain the glass from broken whisky bottles. The beer bottle has been called the "entering wedge of civilization" be cause, into whatever wilderness the white man explorer penetrated, he left behind him empty beer bottles. But in the rigorous climate of Tierra del Faego the whisky bottle seems to have taken the place of the beer bottle, and the "en taring wedge" is the wedge of glass with which the natives tip their arrows. This wedge does not seem to split very deep as far as civilization is concerned,. for the Fuegians cling with tenacity to their savage customs. They live in little, low, dome-libew1g warns, somewhat resembling in shape thoe of the Eskimo, and subsist upon sess, fash and cormormats. The latter theyr atch b the legs when thebird are They are too lazy to cook their fooeed, and so generally eat it raw, though they prefer It cooked. They wear little or-no clothing, except a costing of dirt, and they do not live to a great age, thereby diproving the od maxim that only the good die young. Morals they have none. The coast et Tierra el Fuego is frequented by seal hunters, and Itis iargely from them that the natives get the whisky bottle from whieh, after drinking up the contents, they ftahia their arrow heads.

Pietare.ae Seemes and laterestfs Studies When a Toew I. Th.easei with Sigbt-Seers. Market day in the little country towns of southern Russia presents a scene pic turesque enough to tempt the brush of an artist. It is a spectacle of brilliant color, made all the brighter by its con trast with the surrounding country of vast rolling plains covered with dry stubbly grass. Sunday Is market day. and by five o'clock the road for miles about each town are alive with people, all wending their way toward one point, says the Brooklyn aglse. Them are people on foot, and there are market carts, timber wagons drawn by a yoke of four oxen, peasant carts consisting of a few poles lashed together over four wheels, and carriages at the wealthy, eushioned, painted and deeorated. The market is held in a large square, near which stands the red painted church, with light green spire and cupolas, and a little shrine all blue, red and gold. The houses of the town are quaint in appearance, mostly of one story and having a veranda asd gayly painted roo-red or pale gree. The sos bordering the market hare small windows, which do not permit the oods to be seen to ay extent. Inasted the principal emmodites of the shop are painted ao the open shatters--shoe, sgoves, pa.es or hats aWpesh r a wd en black aa whitegrond.

The present interest in long-distance walking, first aroused by the stock ex change's little jaunt to Brighton. is but another instance of history repeating it self. Barely a century ago the feats of Capt. Barclay and others attracted suffi clent attention to send the town almost mad with excitement, says Strand Mag azine. Even royalty itself has been num bered among the exponents of pedes trianism, and that much-abused mon arch. Charles II.. Is certainly entitled to respect as a fine specimen of an all round sportsman. Apart from enjoying perhaps the unique distinction among English sovereigns of riding his own horses to victory at Newmarket, Charles was also noted for his walking powers. and it has been stated that none could excel him in his favorite walk from Whitehall to Hampton Court. The earliest long-distance walker whose performances were authenticated appears to have been Foster Powell. a limb of the law with a penchant for walking from London to York and back. His first journey was made in 1773,when he covered the distance of 394 miles in six days. with nearly six hours to spare. At the close of 1808 Capt. Barclay fairly electrified the whole country by under taking for a wage of 1.000 guineas to wall 2,000 miles in 1,000 conseeutve hours, s mile in every hour, such a performance being then unprecedented. The match was much discussed, a start being made over Newmarket heath on June 1, 1809 lasting until July 12, or nearly 42days t all. No performance was ever bettes authenticated, and so thoroughly did the Judges perform their task that the state of the weather was recorded and an elab orate diary written up each day setting forth the pedestrian's condition. As nearly every one knows, Capt. Barelay proved successaful in his lengthy under' taking. This interesting dlary,bowever, discloses the fact that be not only came within an ace of losing the match, but It was only by exercising the most dter mined courage that he succeeded a ever coming the painful exhaustion resultthg from the loss of regular sleep for such a lengthy period. His weight at starting was substantial, being 13 stone fous pounds, while at the finish, aftertakiag bath and nourishment and sleeping al most continuously for 17 hours, he was able to turn the scale at 11 stone. The pedestrian's bill of fareduring this walk was no less gigantic than the tast se complished. Breakfast at five consistded of sb trifles as a roast fowl, washed down with a pint of strong ale, and followed by two cups of tea, with bread and butter. After what appears a very lengthy tuterval lunch followed at 12, either from beee steaks or mutton chops, of which ~ttes commodity his ehreolcler gamro ey re marks that the captain ate a e erable quantity. Dinner at six cassit dt>ed of roast beef or more chaps, wi.t ~hl* he drank porter and two or threae~gmes atwlae, andto wlnd uptbedar asheem. aeed, supper at 11 consiste d a4e fowl, the pedestrian hvg.ria, wae ts coausumed ve or sax pemade of tia food duringl thet4s ourserwtssbe suh vegstablesasw6ereasso..
