"OLD REDDY'S CALF."
BI 8. S. BARNES.
OME work for yon to
day, Bruoe," suid Mr.
ebtiter to hit twelve-vear-old
son, at fie
breakfast table, one
lovely morning in Ou
fct.lwr, 1871. "One of
tlie calves is missing;
strayed off down the
creek, I guess, and
vou will Luve to look
it up."
"All riffbt." replied
Bruce, replenishing his plate from the
piatter of antelope steak.
"I was thinking of taking a hunt to
day anyway, so I will take the shotgun
Ions nnd try to kill a duck or two. I
see that there are a few dropping in
from the North. I expect it is that fool
Tom that's pone aguin. He is always
making us trouble!
"You are right in regard to it being
Tom, but he is by no means foolinh for
wandering off in search of better
grass, for the range lxmt here is get
ting poor. In fact 1 have about deci
ded to turn all the milk stock out for
the present. They will be much better
off in the hills until the fall rains start
a new coat of in ass."
"Better let Tom go then," suggested
Mrs. Webster. "Turn out the rest of
the cattle and I'll warrant that old
Keddywill Hndhim."
"Just what I would do if the calf was
branded; but as it is, we will have to
get bim up again. I can't afford to run
any risk of losing Tom ; be is about all
the fine stock that we own."
"I'll have him corralled by noon," as
serted Brace, stoutly. "It's a pity I
haven't got him broken to ride, so I
could bring in my game on him."
"First kill your game," replied his
father. "It M just possible that you
will fail to return 0kiii this occasion
with either Tom or the ducks. And, by
the way! keep an eve open for strangers.
Caddo Bill, the Indian, who was con
fined at Fort Oriflin, awaiting trial for
murder, escaped the other day, and he
may drift through here on his "way west
ward, although the chances are that he
has been recaptured before this. "
"I'll bo ready for him," was the con
fident remark of the frontier lad, as he
stood on tiptoes to reach the gun lying
in its rack over the fireplace. "I've got
one barrel loaded with big shot, and if
I see anything that looks Injuny "
"You'll break your neck running,"
interrupted his mother. "I know how
fierce and courageous my little boy is
at times; but it seems to me that he is
the most inclined to recklessness after
the danger is over, or before it comes.
But never mind, Brace, an ounce of dis
cretion is worth a ton of foohardiness,
any day, and I am really glad that you
bave too much seme to rush needlessly
into danger."
"That's an. "Mollv ' remarlced Mr
Webster. "Bruce iias got lots of gwid
sense nnd judgment for a boy of his age,
and he is no coward either. Why, I
would bet on that biy capturing that
fellow, if he found him, as quick as I
would, and not run half the risk of get
ting killed. But, pshaw I there's not
one chance in ten thousand of Caddo
"Ml passing through this section, for
all the soldiers from Griffin are after
him, and half the county besides."
"Well, nt all events, I will bring in
Tom all right, if Caddo Bill hasn't eat
en him," asserted Sruee, as he left
the room. "Have my dinner ready at
twelve sharp, mother; you know that j
Hunting always gives me an appetite
like a wolf."
It is a rnre thing for Texas boys to at
tempt much of a pedes'.rian trip, for
from varly childhood much of their time
is spent ou horseback, und they grow,
in time, to consider a mustang an in
dispensable companion. Bruce Web
ter, however, was an Illinois lad, who,
ever since bis sixth year, had been ac
customed to a daily walk of a couple of
miles to the neighboring schoolhouse,
and although he was fast becoming a
Eroficient in the wild and reckless
orsemanship of the Southwest, he still
preferrod to enjoy his short hunting
trips unincumbered with any trouble
some equine.
Therefore, he left, on this particular
oocasion, the door of the little log stable
wide open, so that the sleek-sided, buck
skin pony might Imj free to crop, at will,
the snort grass adjacent to the corrals,
oonfident that his welcoming neigh
, would be the first sound to greet him on
his return.
Bruce Webster confidently hoped to
find tiie missing calf within a quarter of
a mile of the ranch. This was by no
means the first time that the truant
Tom had wandered away from his little
herd of youthful companions, for it
would seem that he simply detested the
confinement to which he was subjected
during the day, and endeavored, to the
extent of his limited ability, to manage
bis own particular affairs in way more
to his hking. Bruce had always de
clared that Tom's aristocratic notions
regarding the superiority of blue blood,
was the cause of his preferring solitude
to the society of the common herd of
Texan long-horns, which supposition
was based on the fact that old Beddy,
Tom's mother, was a full blooded Here
ford, that the Websters had brought
with them all the way from their old
home in the North.
It was, really, rather strange that tin's
highly-prized scion of an ancient family
should Lave been so prone to make his
owners trouble; since, for the first six
months of his life, he had been petted
by his owner, and allowed to wander at
will about the door yard, so that he
might enjoy perfect immunity from the
assaults of wandering wolf or Mexican
lion; but although he still remembered
some of the numerous accomplishments
taught him by Bruce in leisure moments,
one of which was to charge blindly at
the tantalizing wave of a red handker
chief, he was in other respects as wild
as anr other young cattle.
As lie had expected, Bruce found the
calf's tracks without difficulty, plainly
showing in the dusty path that led down
to the valley of the little creek; but he
was somewhat surprised to find that
Tom had jogged steadily along, swerving
neither to the right nor left, for nearly
a mile, finally leaving the trail at a
point where the rooky nature of the soil
and dense underbrush rendered futile
all attempts at further trailings, and
the most persuasive and persistent call
ing failed to elicit any responsive bleat
from the little runaway.
For a mile farther, Bruce wandorod
down the little valley, shooting, now
and then, a green-crested duck, or one
of the numerous gray squirrels that
barked and chattered at him from the
limbs above his head : but, search as he
would, no further trace of the lost Tom
could be discovered.
Puzzled and disheartened, the lad
finally turned bock, resolving to mount
his pony after dinner, and search out
the entire country for radius ol tnree
or four miles.
Crossing the stream, he hunted back
along the south bank, hardly expecting
to discover the object of his search, but
adding occasionally to his string of
came.
Presently his attention was attracted
by an unusually demonstrative squirrel
who was saucily bidding him defiance
from his perch on the limb of a lorge
hollow oak. The shotgun was brought
to the boy's shoulder, but, as if aware of
his danger, the tlireateneu animal
dodced out of sight in a convenient
orifice in the tree trunk.
" Hello ! you are a sharp little fellow,
I see 1 " muttered our young hunter.
" Never mind, though ! Y'ou can't Btay
in that hole forever : and the next time
vou show up you'll never know what
hurts you."
A fallen tree near by ottered a oom
fortuble seat, ami Brace assumed an
easy position, with his back against the
moss-covered stump ; and resting the
gun across bis knees, awaited the re
appearance of the beleagnrcd squirrel.
Minutes passed, but nothing more
was seen of the sharp, rat-like ears nnd
beady eyes, although Brace's vigilance
never relaxed.
Hnlf-woy down, a mass of scarlet and
yellow ivy leaves hid a second opening
in the tree trunk, and here, unnoticed
by the lad, the cunning squirrel watched
his every motion, with not the slightest
intention of exposing himself further.
Another pair of ryes wore riveted on
the unsuspicious boy a pair of snaky,
block orbs that gleamed dangerously
near, in a clump of verdant foliage; for,
by some unlucky chance, the route to
safety solocted by Caddo Bill, the red
fugitive from justice, had lain throngh
this quiet valley, after all; and the es
capod murderer was now crouched, likes
tiger gathering for a spring, not twenty
jaces from the unsuspecting Bruce.
If Caddo Bill had fancied his safety
assured upon successfully dodging his
guard and climbing the stockade at
Fort Griffin, bis mind must have soon
been disabused of that impression. For
more tlinn forty-eight hours he had been
followed and harassed by the numerous
parties in pursuit continually on the
move gliding from covert to covert
now hid in a clump of thorny cacti
again threading the winding bed of
some narrow nrmytr, or gliding like a
snake through the tall prairio grass.
Exhausted by his continuous exertions,
and weak from the lavages of hunger
that he lacked the wherewithal to ap
pease, his moccasins worn to shreds, and
the red shirt and cavalry pants, that he
wore at the time of his escape, now torn
to fragments by the envious briers, the
fugitive really presented pitiable ap
pearance. But worn and weary, as he was, the
evil, murderous instinct was still domi
nant in his breast, and his eyes glinted
ominously, as he watched the boyish
form carelessly reclining so close to his
own hiding place.
Was there ever such ,ood luck ! The
greatest cause of uneasiness to Caddo
Bill had been the fact that he had been
forced to begin his flight totally unarm
ed; for, although renowned for his reck
less bravery when armed to the teeth, in
his defenceless condition he was help
less. Supplied with but a carbine, some
of his pursuers would have doubtlessly
felt his vengeance before this; but, with
out even as much ns a knife, however
small, he had no choice but stealthy,
speedy flight.
Was kind fortune about to smile upon
him once more ? Here, within his reach,
almost, and to be had for the mere tak
ing, was a substantial-looking shotgun,
just the weapon that he wanted. Pos
sibly, he would have to commit another
murder to secure the coveted arm, but
that was a matter of but small moment.
On second thought, it would be far the
safest plan to kill the boy and quiet his
tongue. Yes, that was the proper course
to pursue. ,
Cautiously he rose to his feet, his
right hand clutching a heavy fragment
of granite. All unconsoious of his peril,
Bruce sat half -asleep and half awake
quite tired of watching for a squirrel
that never appeared, but yet in no par
ticular hurry to journey homeward.
w
No thought of Caddo Bill had crossed
the boy's mind since leaving home that
morning. Ultrt bis father, Bruce hmt
thought it hardly probable that the
murderer would attempt so far to the
northward in case lie had escaped re
capture. Silently as a panther stealing upon its
prey, and relentlessly as death itself,
Uadclo Kill crept nearer and nearer.
Barely twenty feet separated th.
murderer and his victim. The Indian's
face was drawn in a grimace of fearful
vindictiveness. His arm was drawn
back for the deadly blow his muscles
contracted for the final spring.
Suddenly there was a rustla of shrub
bery, and the rush of flying feet, and
some heavy object was hurled against
ine croucning jjioian irom the rear,
dashing him forward almost upon the
now thoroughly-aroused Bruce, The
missing calf had suddenly ap)eared up
on the scene exactly on time not
moment too early or too late.
How long Tom had lieen an interested
observer of Caddo Bill's actions, it is,
of course, imjMishible to state. Evident
ly, however, the flaunting rags of the
fugitives scarlet slurt had been con
stiued as a premeditated challenge,
which could not be tamely overlooked,
without doing yiolenoe to all the tradi
tions of the fighting Hereford's, and the
young champion's onslaught was sudden
and irresistible.
Caddo Bill s surprise was complete,
and his discomfiture increased by the
fact that he was, for an instant, unable
to comprehend the exact identity of hit
new assailant, and the momentary delay
allowed Bruce time to thoroughly digest
the danger of the situation. And, there
fore, when the murderer staggered to
bis feet, intent on the further prosecu
tion of the villainous scheme, young
Webster, without an instant's reflection,
discharged both barrels of his gun in
his assailant's face, and dropping the
now useless weapon, nod from the spot,
without a thought of noting the effect of
his shots.
Ten minutes later, terror-stricken and
out of breath, Bruce dashed into the
little dining room at tlie ranch, where
half a dozen strangers were gathered
about tlie table soldiers from Urillin,
who, by tlie aid of bloodhounds, had
trailed their late prisoner thus far on
hia way to liberty.
Hurriedly the boy told his story, and
in an inconceivably short spnee of time,
found himself seated on a fiery cavalry
horse, behind the lieutenant in com
mand of the squad, guiding them to the
scene of his late encounter.
Caddo Bill was found without diffi
culty, not dead, as Bruce had begun Us
fear, but so badly disabled by a handful
of bird shot, in the muscleo of his
shoulder, that his capture was easily
effected.
The belligerent calf, Tom, was also
found ou the field of battle, contentedly
cropping the scattered herbage, and
looking as harmless and insignificant a
it was jxwsible for a fat, well-grown calf
to appear. He evinced no disinclina
tion to return to the ranch, but trotted
contentedly along in advance of the
party, the object of general admiration
from all; and Bruiw observed, without a
pang of jealousy, that in discussing the
particulars of the late "soriminago, ' the
soldiers accorded to Tom the most of the
credit for the capture, which view of the
matter the last was not disposed to dis
pute, since he felt that to Tom, alone,
he owed his life and safoty.
However, the reward paid for tlie re
capture cf Caddo Bill was anconled to
Bruce by general consent, and with the
money thus obtained lie purchased a
number of young cattle the nucleus of
the large herd, over which the Here
ford, Tom, ruled as monarch and leader
for many years. (Yankee Blade.
Monster Spiders that Travel in In
dia. Far up in the mountains of Ceylon
and India there is a spider that spins a
web like bright yellow silk, tlie central
net of which is nve lect in diameter,
while the supporting lines or guys, as
they are called, measure sometimes ten
or twelve feet long; and riding quickly
in the early morning you may dash right
into it, the stout threads twining round
your face like a lace vail; while as tho
creature who has woven it takes up his
position in the middle, he generally
catches you right on the niwe, and,
though he seldom bites or stings, the
contact of his large body is any thing
but pleasant. If you forget yourself and
try to catch him, bite he will, and,
though not venomous, his jaws are as
powerful as a bird's beak, and you are
not likely to forget the encounter.
The bodies of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright
gold or 8. ui let underneath, while the up
per part is covered with the most deli?
cate slate-colored fui. So strong are the
webs that birds the size of larks are fre
quently caught therein, and even the
small but powerful scaly lizard falls a
victim. Often have I watched the yel
low or scarlet monster, measuring, when
waiting for his prey, with his legs
stretched out, fully six inches, striding
across the middle of the net, and noted
the rapid manner in which he winds his
stout threads around the unfortunate
captive. He usually throws the coils
aloiit the head, till the victim is first
blinded and then choked. In many unfre
quented dark nooks of the dark jungle
you come across most perfect skeletons
of small birds caupht in these terrible
snares, the strong folds of which prevent
the delicate bones from falling to the
ground after the wind and weather have
dispersed the flesh and feathers.
Value of Boyal China.
Iread in a contemporary that the value
of the china at Buckingham Palace and
at Windsor "exceeds 200,000. " I should
think it does, and 400,000 would not be
an extravagant estimate considering that
the Sevrer desert service in the green
drawing-room at Windsor is valued at
100,000, and the Rose du Barri vases in
the corridor at 50,000, while there are
six Sevres vases at Buckingham Palace
for which there would be an eager com
petition if they were put up to-morrow
at 30,000. The whole of this china be
longs to the Crown, which practically
means that it is the property of the
country, as indeed it ought to be, con
sidering that the w hole of it was paid for
principally during the reign of George
r . by the taxpayers, London

Voracious Chicken Snake.
As the spring opens in the Hudson
Highlands, a species of black snake
thot tlie farmers call "chicken snakes,'
often profusely spotted with eHw dots
appear in great numbers, luey seem
to be bolder and more yoracious than
ever this year. Few of the hen roosts
have eseaped their ravages. Ordinarily
they have been satisfied witfc suckiur
the eggs and occasionally killing and
eatinu the vounir chickens, but this
season they have enlarged their sphere
of action, and many full-grown neiia
hove been slaughtered by them. One
farmer, whose holding is on the north
ern slope of Storm King Mountain,
short distance above Cornwall, lost a
valuable game rooster a few nights ago.
The bird was kept alone in the loft of
the stable, and how the snake succeeded
in reaching it is a mystery, for it always
roosted on a lieam tea feet above tlie
floor. But that the champion of a score
of battles had ncc.uinled at last to a
reptile was evident, for tho heavy dust
on the beam bore plain imprints of the
serpent s passage along and around it.
The rooster hud not fallen when it died,
It was found still clinciu'r to tho roost.
with a small oiiening in its throat nnd
every drop of blood sucked from its
body.
Farmer Kelly, of Meadow Brook, in
tho upper part of Orange County, also
has a rooster that was attacked by a
snake and severely wounded, but eseaped
death, either through his own exertions,
or by the valorous assistance of his best
hena big, old fashioned Plymouth
Bock, of great egg-laying capacity. The
hen always roosted clo?e to the malo
bird at night and seemed devoted to
him. He repaid her faithful affection
whenever he scratched up a worm by
calling her to watch him eat it.
Just before daylight on Monday
morning Farmer Kelly heard a commo
tion in his hen-house, nnd going there
with a lantern, he found the rxister ly
ing on his side ou tho floor, with the
blood trickling from a nasty cut in his
neck. Tho old hen w as on her feet near
him, and a sjwttcd snake with both
eyes pecked out and a badly damaged
head was trying to ninko its escapo,
while the female bird was beating it
down with her leak and seemed likely
to kill it. She was unhurt, and as soon
as the farmer bad crushed out the
snake's life with the heel of his boot.
she manifested her symnthy for the
prostrate rooster by walking around him
and chicking anxiously, until he was
able to stand up and crow feebly; but
whether ho was crowing in honor of his
own triumph, or in recognition of the
hen's victory, Fanner Kelly is unable to
say. Ihe circumstantial evidence, when
lie arrived, was in favor of tho hen; but
he is willing to credit each bird with
having extricated nn eye from the sunke's
head. Aow iork iribuue.
A New Breed of Cattle.
Besides the pure buffalo, of which Mr.
Jones, of Kansas, has nearly 120, he has
numltcr of the crossbred stock, and it
is these which to the breeder of cattle
are by far the most interesting. Among
these last are lour hull breed cous.
These cows are all alike in size, and
convey the impression of more bulk
than large work oxen. When seen in
March they were rotlior thin in flesh
and were shedding their coats, so they
did not appear to advantage. They were
estimated to weich about I, -list pounds.
Mr. .Tone expressed the opinion that ho
could fatten one of them in the autumn
so as to weigh 1,500 pounds live weight.
They are sired by buffalo bulls and are
out of common Indian cows.
As might bo expected, the three-quarter
bloixls nioro nearly re-emblo the
buffalo. The hump is much more pro
nounced, the head and horns more buffalo-like,
while tho coat is much longer
than thnt of the half-breeds and moro
wavy. Animals of this breed attain a
great size. A young three quarter-broed
bull, post threo yeais old, pulled down
the scales at 2,4lM) pounds w hen grass
fat in tho autumn. Owing, however, to
the lack of symmetry, due to the hump,
they do not so much impr."s tho cattle
man. They produce a rolie, however,
which in beauty nnd evenness is su)er
ior to that of the buffalo. Tho buffalo's
coat in winter on tho hump, rpjier sides
nnd back is curly nnd matted, and sMn
bleaches out to a failed tun color, whilo
tho coat of these tliroc-qnurter bloods
is even throughout, having littlo or no
curl anywhere, nnd is but little lighter
on tho back than on the belly. It is
everywhere a beautiful rich brown, und
is ns heavy ns any buffalo rolie.
Tho robe of the half-breed is even in
length on all parts of the body and is
without curl, more like a heavy bear
skin than anything else. l'orest and

Dogmatism in Railroading.
A Southern exchange has discovered
a station master w ho is assisted in his
duties by a small blnck-aud-tan dog,
for whose accommodation a little plat
form has been erected, w here ho takes
his stand with a flag in his mouth. He
is well known to all engineers and con
ductors, nnd his signals are always
obeyed. He is sent out to flag trains,
but displnys original talent in watching
a deep rock cut near the station. The
dog is ever on the watch, especially at
night. If he hears an unusual sound,
such as that produced by the falling of
a stone, ho leaves the little sentry -1ox
which has been erected for his conven
ience and comfort, walks leisurely up
the road, carefully examining if any
thing is on the trask that would endan
ger the train, and, if any object of the
kind is discovered, goes to the old flag
man, wnkes him up if he hapiens to be
asleep, and conducts him to the point
of danger.
A Curious Discovery.
A curious discovery hns been made at
the Cathays yard of the Taff Vale rail
way Company in England. A large elm
tree, grown in Gloucestershire, wes
leing cut up into timber, when right in
the very heart a cavity nieasuri g eight
feet long by seven and one-half inches
in diameter was discovered almost com-
Eletely filled with the comb of the
oney bee, together with a squirrel's
skull. No means of access to the hol
low were discoverable.
