OUR SHORT STORY
OUR SHORT STORY GRIZZLY BILL'S UNDOING. Thrilling?" gaidi the Major; "Well, I 'nould by so. It Was the most exciting thing that j.er 0c0ljrred to me. Why, I can't even think of «idn°T1V^'fciK>Ut; 8tuddering a little. I was ocm- younger in those days than I am now. At the time I was a telegraph operator and c^5»'Wh«r for the Mountain Valley Railroad mJ»*y in a Western mining country. It was d ajid lawless country, and I was not much oh!0*6 my Plnce, but being poor I was to aooeiPt the conditions with the best powible grace. Golditon, where I was located, was really wag more than a railroad station. It was Rait"^ ma-in line of the Mountain Valley 3tfi« J™' °n a *Pur which ran to the Ingot not very extensive; in tram « day parsed my lonely 4 </v by day of every month I received Minin r<?o ^°r ^Perintendent of the Ingot miners'' the money with which the ^Trnn °ff- The amount avwaged 14th in f' Is" ^d lB.OOOdols. On Jn»-e ■>iors o. ^ear superintendent of *h» mornow ■— pay mon«y will be here to- more than 1 want y°u to » I understand- VfUance in I fl»e mountain 1 to inspiye.^r- that unmusical sobri- aiu oiitdaw of greafc daring aud lution lie stopped at nothing. It was, there- fore, quite natural for me to feel some little trepidation. I assured the superintendent, However, tha.t I would do all in my power to guard the money; and, I think," continued the Major with some sc-lf-satisfaction, "that I kept my word in this respect. "During the night which followed a violent rain etorm swept through the mountains. Shortly before ten o'clock the next morning I received word over the wire that the train from Pikevilte co-u 1 not get to Goldton owing to a washout below Summit Rock. It was thought that the track could be made passable by the afternoon, and that the train would reach my station before six o'clock. I com- municated the facts to the mine superinten- dent by means of an assistant who was always at the station during the day. "At five o'clock that evening I received a message saying that it would be impossible for the train tc gat through before nine or ten o'clock the next mo-rning. I sent word to this effect to the mine superintendent, who, in turn, communicated it to the men. Feeling rather tired I turned in early that night. Sleep, how. ever, was out nf the question. "The baggage, freight, express. and tele- epra-ph offices were all under one roof. One OOrner of the big warehouse (it was hardly anything else) was partitioned off so as to make a private enclosure. This box-like compartment I usod for sleeping, eatling, and the transaction tA ■atxC ownpyjiy's telegraphio and railroad busi- ?- ness. The sender and receiver were affixed to a table conveniently near my bed, and if neces- sary it was possible to transmit or take a message without even arising. Of coarse, I never found it necessary to do this; I simply mention it to illustrate the arrangement of the office. "Along toward midnight the telegraph instru- ment began to click. I heard my call, opened the key, and asked wha.t was wanted. The operator at Pikeville wired back that the train whiich had been delayed on account of the washout had started for Goldton, and would reach there between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morn- ing. At precisely 2.45 o'clock the train steamed into Goldton. "The express messenger alighted and handed me a huge and many-sealed package. It con- tained 17,500dols. '0, that isn't all,' said the messenger with a laugh; 'I have a box in the car that's as heavy as lead. We've been wondering (all the I way up the mountain what it contained.' "The box was lifted from the car and placed on end in the freight department of the station. It was fully 7ft. 4iu. wide-horribly suggestive of the rough box in which a coffin is inclosed. I thought of this after the -train had resumed •i*n journey. 1 put the pay money in the safe, turned the combination lock, and retired, I fell into a dcze, from which I was aroused with a start by whae sevined to be the ticking of the sounder. It said as clear as if some. one had .spoken • "Beware; danger threatens.' I sat up in bed. The moon was shining brightly through the window. I gazed in- tently at the sounder. I made not the slightest motion, yet the message oaite again, this time efven more startlingly distinct than before. What could it possibly mean ? I thought that I was dreaming at first; but when the mysterious massacre was rcpe«f.^d ior tl-o third tima I j.?-' j | n 'M'k! !—!LI—.—iilLL came to a different conclusion. I don't be- lieve in spiritualism, yet I am at a loss now to ascribe that inexplicable communication to any other source. "At any rate, upon hearing the third mes- sage my mind instantly reverted to the huge box in the freight corner. The partitioning of my little apartment did not extend as high as the roof, but merely to a distance of about 5ft. above the level of my bed, and by stand- ing on the bed I could peer over the top and see all parts of the interior of the station. I rose stealthily to an erect position, and looked over the edge of the partition. The first thing I saw was the box. standing on end near a window in the extreme end of the station; and as I looked I saw its top slowly rise and a man's head protrude itself. "It was a thick, brutalised face, with grizzled whiskers. Instantly it flashed across my mind that it belonged) to Grizzly Bill. "The sight sent my heart into my throat with a bound, for I realised only too well that the outlaw would step at nothing to get the money wb.:ch he knew was in my possession. To him murder was child's play. But after the first emotion of fear I felt perfectly calm. In truth, I felt as though fate had thrown this desperado in my way, so that I could conquer him. I don't know why I felt thus; probably I experienced the same emotions that a soldier does who goes into battle with fear and trembling, yet who, when actually in the midst of danger, feels as cool and collected as though he were out of reach of all possibility of harm. "1 got out of bed, picked up the coal shovel and scuttle and made aa much noise as possible. As the night !had been an unusually cool one a fire waa burning, and as I passed the stove I grabbed my revolver and thrust it into my right .na.t uocket. Into my left pocket I thrust some I nails and a hammer. Then, whistling as loudly as possible to mislead the desperado in the box, I left the little office and walked across the floor of the freight part of the station. When immediately in front of the box I sprang I at it with the fury of a man fighting for his life and overturned it. It fell to the floor, top up, with a resounding cra-sh. Instantly I was astride the box driving nails into the lid as hard and fast as a man in terror for h:s life could do. And all that while I was yelling at the imprisoned; outlaw at the top of my voice. telling him that if he so much as breathed I would instantly kill him. I "But my threats did not appear to frighten him much. From the interior of the box came a volley of muffled oaths that would have as- tonished a Digger Indian. I never heard such horrible profanity. I fired my pistol twice in the a.ir tc let him know I meant business. After a while he became quiet. I carefully examined the boy and found that there was no danger of suffocating, for at the upper end were a number of t,iny perforations which freely admitted air. "I sat astride that box until my assistant arrived at seven o'clock. It was a long and trying vigil, but the magnitude of my victory I buoyed me up. My assistant was almost too much amazed to speak when I told him of my capture. He quickly went to the mines and told the superintendent to hasten at once with a sumcient guard of men to the station, and take G'T:«7.]y Bill into custody. It didn't take lo'i- £ to tlo this, and when Bill was hauled by I no gentle hands from the box he was the angriest ou'jvw ever capture-d. He fought like I a tigsr, but it was of no use. The men who l had him csytive knew how dangerous he was. He was stovr^e bwnd. and later in the day taken to Pikeville, where he was subsequently sentenced to a long term of imprisonment in an eastern penitentiary. "That little adventure," concluded the Major, "proved to be the turning-point in my career. I was promoted to an important posi- tion in the city, where I prospered as you see. I am to-day quite content with myself and the world in general. Thus you see Grizzly Bill's undoing was any making."

THE T ATE MR. P ATM ORE AS LANDSCAPE GARDENER In adrliticn to h:9 poetical achievements the late Mr. Coventry Patmore was a distinguished landscape gardener. Before he took up his residence at Hastings Mr. Patmore lived for several years at Herons Glivll. near UckBeld. The poet built himself a small house, and laid out the p-ounds in a manner which grined for him the admiration of his immediate neighbours. Upon leaving this p'ace Mr. Patmore erected a small tablet in a wall bordering upon an OTr-amental lake facing the house, which bears an inscription soliciting the prayers of those who read it- for himself. Mr. Patmore sold Herons Glivll to the present Duke of Norfolk, who bought the place íor hU mother, the late Dowager Duchess of Norfolk. -?- ?--

SA VI OUR. OF SEVEN LIVES. A. STRATFORD BOY'S HEROTStt. The Town-hall at Stratford was crowded on Satur- day evening with an enthusiastic audience on the occasion of a concert arranged by the local lodges of the Sons of the Phoenix for the benefit of Leonard Steels, the "boy hero" of Stratford, who had been instrumental ill saving seven lives from drowning, though he is low but ten years of age. The 1Utt. attempt at rescue was from the waters cf the Channel- sea River, at Strlltiord. and, the previous good deeds of the lad being elicited at the inquest which followed, considerable public 63Tnpathy was aroused. The ease was reported to the Royal Humane Society, but as the rescue in this caee relarèlI to dead body, and M the previous records had not teen reported to the society within two months cf the rescues, they could do nothing..Among the lodges subscrip- tions were raised, and an illuminated address pre. pared, and this was on Saturday n'ght publicly presented to Steels, together with a rum of money, raised by the Sons of the Phoenix, ujid a framed photograph of himself.

SAD DEATH OF A SKEWEN MAN.
SAD DEATH OF A SKEWEN MAN. An American paper says that George Jones, shot-firer at Weir Coal Company, Shaft No. 2, Kirkvvood, was fatally injured recently in- a runaway car on South Broadway. The particulars of the accident, as told by eye- witnesses, are to the effect that he was driving into the city about 8.30 in the morning, with a roan horse, which was frightened by a car, and got beyond control. Jones fell back on his head on the hard ground, and the skuil was fractured &t the base, and the blood poured from an ugly gash under his left par. As soon as possible he was carried into the front room of the Southern Hotel, being unconscious. Physicians were sent for, but they soon found he was beyond all earthly I help. The deceased was a son of the late Mr. David Jones, carpenter, of Skewen. He was also a brother of Mrs. J. Pulsford, of the Crown Inn, Skewen, and Miss Jones, of the Miners' Arms. Mr. Jones was 41 years of age, was a butcher by trade, and well known at Neath slaughter-house, having worked there for a considerable time. He left for America about sixteen or seventeen years ago, married there, and his wife being in delicate health he sent her and their three children to Skewen II for a change about three years ago.

I :TORPEDO-BOAT DESTROYERS…
TORPEDO-BOAT DESTROYERS FOR ARGENTINA The Argentine armoured torpedo-boat destroyer Misiones left Gravesend OD Saturday for Bueuoo Ayrcs. The ei*ed of this boat on her ofiicial trial was 27.106 knots, carrying a load cf 35 tons, during a run of three hours. Messrs. Yarrow amd Co. have built four torpedo-boat destroyers tor the Argentine Government within twelve months. The consumption of coal in these boats was from 21b. to 2ilb. per 'odieated horse-power per hour. which bears very favourable comparison with that of de- stroyers recently built for the British Government.
