A Hunter sbiufr
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1915, by the MeCluro
Kuwspuper Syndicate.
In the spring of the year ISoS a par*
ty of sporting hunters numbering thir
ty entered the elbow of Texas between
New Mexico and the Indian territory.
While the Comanche Indians were
bitterly hostile at th*t time they" had
been sadly reduced by smallpox and
driven to the north, and old frontiers
men stated their belief that the party
would not even see one.
I had been Invited to make one of
the party, but was detained for a con
pie of days. I then mounted my horse
aud picked up the trail and followed
after, having no fear that I should run
any danger in thus riding.
It had come noon of the second day,
and I had met with no adventure. 1
had baited and watered my horse aud
| was ready to move on, when I heard a
"II, yi, yll" on my right, and I turu
I ed around to see live Comanches com
lng out of the timber on their ponies.
They were Just half a mile away and
had evidently discovered me.
When a man rides for his life the
greatest fear is in overdoing the mat
ter. I had been five years on the
plains and had a pretty fair stock of
nerve, and 1 rode to favor my horse.
As the sun began to sink In the
west they sought to shorten the dis
tance between us and bring me Into
rifle shot, but a word to the mustaug
checkmated this.
Had I been able to keep the trail aft
er 3 o'clock I should have counted on
finding the party by sundown, as we
| were getting over the ground at a rap
I id pace, but at about that hour I came
to a rough, stony district, where the
passage of the horses had left no trail,
and 1 went ahead at random, planning
to keep my distance from the river. It
was to be a starlight night, and ns
soon as dusk came I urged my beast to
a faster pace and bore more to the
j left When I believed 1 had gained a
I quarter of a mile I swerved sharply to
! the right, rode for forty rods and then
i dismounted aud gave Custer the word
} to lie down. We were both flat on the
I earth when the party of pursuers swept
i by, aud the thud, thud, thud of their
j ponies' feet came very plainly to my
I ears.
I I and a cold bite in my haversack,
j and after disposing of it stretched out
| and went to slet*p, hoping I had given
j the red men the slip. I opened my
eyes the next morning In astonish
ment Seated in a circle al>out me
were the five Comanches, while their
ponies were feeding with my horse. 1
lay on my back with my bands clasp
ed under my head, and such was my
! astonishment that I could not move.
Fortunately for me they took this for
nerve. I looked from man to man.
and Anally said in Comanche:
! "Had I known you were Comanches
j I should not have run away. I thought
I you were Chlckasaws on stolen horses.
I shall be ready to go as soon as I
have eaten. I want to see the Co
- nianche country—the vast plains—the
Canadian river— the mountains full of
caves and waterfalls—your chief.
Thunder Cloud."
I One of them asked me if I belonged
' to the party ahead, and I told him no.
He asked me how I dared start out
alone for the Comanc'ae country, and
I told him that I had trapped the moun
tain lion and cut out and eaten his
liver while still alive, and therefore
1 feared nothing living, t could see that
a they were badly puzzled, aud I in
i creased their wonder by saying, as I
i finished my breakfast:
1 "Coiuo. It Is time to go. We have
, a long ride, and I am anxious to see
your country."
1 When we set out two In front and
e three behind, and no Indians were ever
more puzzled. In later years I met
one of them and he told me that their
plan was to torture me as soon as I
awoke. They were beat out of this by
my queer remarks, intended just for
that purpose. Several times during the
day I expressed my Impatience at our
. slow pace and asked tliem to get on
faster, and when we went ints camp I
saw that I had them off their guard.
After eating I sat apart from them to
smoke and meditate and to give them
an opportunity to compare notes. Just
when the five got their heads together
to discuss something they did not wish
me to hear I arose and stepped back
ward out of the light of the Are, and I
SelTevf T ■^■(Ts -r Hundred feet away
when they missed tue.
I henrd them scatter nnd bent (lbout,
and 'while they weire hunting for me
I crawled along and got niy gun. I
crept away from the circle of the firo
and than got the shelter of a tree. Tho
India m beat about for a good half
hour, uud then all came In, chagrined
and disgusted. I lifted my gun and
took fair aim at the leader. He went
down as my rifle cracked and was fol
lowed by a second and a third before
the surviving two could comprehend
what was going on. Neither stopped
for his gun.
I stood guard all night, and when
morning came was satisfied that the
two who had escaped had no idea of
returning. After a scanty breakfast I
caught up the si* animals, packed up
everything of value, and then I headed I
to the southeast for the river, and at 3 j
o'clock rode right into the camp of the |
party, which hnd Bettled down for
sport and had given me no thought.
Nest day a party of us rode over to
give the bodies a more careful inspec
tion, and we found on each one a sil
ver government medal, given them dur
ing Lincoln's first term, as "good In
dians."
RECEIPT FROM
GERMANY
Berlin, Aug. 5—(By yireless ' to
Sayville.)—The Gorman government
has began a systematic gathering of
figures and statistics concerning ex
isting supplies of copper in every
shape. It had been known previous
ly ti-at in addition to the increase
In, copper production, the supplies
surpassed 2,000,000 tons, sufficient
to meet war requinments for' ten
years. A large proportion of this
total Is available with 'the adoptiou
of several measures. Other portions
of It will become available by" the
substitution of other metal.
With the idea of obtaining com
plete copper data to the end that
systematic preparations for the fu
ture be made effective, the govern
ment has decidd to lnystigate care
fully what amount of copper might
be *ound in the untensils, instru
ments, boilers and roofs made' of
this metal.
Planned, but Never Written.
Amoug those books which great
writers planned, but apparently never
set pen to, are some notable "might
have beens" of literature.
A writer who planned an article on.
the subject a few years ago, says the
London Chronicle, finds among his
notes a Robert Louis Stevenson one In
the shape of a "Life of Hazlltt" Sir
Richard Steele contemplated a "His
tory of the War lu Flanders;" Isaac
Disraeli Intended "A History of Our
Vernacular Literature;" William Make
peace Thackeray not only planned a
"Life of Talleyrand," but it was ad
vertised for publication In long bygone
years, and Emlle Zola contemplated
writing n book on Honope de Balzac.
Old Time Butterscotch.
Put three pounds of light brown sug
ar in an enameled kettle with three
fourths of a pound of butter. Place
over a moderate fire to melt; let it boll
until thick, stirring all the while to pre
vent scorching. Take the kettle from
the fire and pour the boiling hot liquid
into buttered tins or upon a large fiat
meat platter. When stiff enough mark
off Into big squares, and when cold
break these apart and wrap each
square in was paper. Butterscotch
carefully made will keep for months.
It improves with age.
A Real Want.
Clerk—This is the best burglar alarm
made. The burglar no sooner enters
the house than it alarms the residents.
Customer—Haven't you got one that
will alarm the burglar?—Exchange.
Hardly Ever.

"Yes, my dear."
"A proper noun?"

Why Italy Loves the Army.
The It'll inn soldier is not only se
verely drilled, but lie is also expected
to perform a pood many duties not
usually regarded as falling within the
requirements of military service. It Is
considered incumbent on every man
wearing the king's uniform to give aid
whenever and wherever it may be
needed for the protection of life and
property, against crime, accident or
disaster, and whenever a calamity be
falls—such as an earthquake—the first
move is always to send troops to as
sist the suffering. That is one reason
why Italy regards her army with af
fection as her protector at home as
well as her defender against foreign
aggression.—London Chronicle.
The Chinese Burglar,
"The Chinese hurglnr Is the most
difficult to nab," declared Lecoq, the
detective. "I might say he is impossible
to nab. When this yellow scoundrel
goes burgling ho goes naked and cov
ered with oil. and thus he Is as slip
pery as an eel. Hut, you say. why not
nab him by the pigtail, hey? Tin; an
swer to that is that his pigtail Is done
up In a knot on top of his bend and I
stuck full of needles and hatpins with '
the points turned outward. You often i
see a Chinaman in Poking or Shanghai '
with his clothes stained with oil and j
tiny red pricks all over him. lie's
been having trouble with a burglar."—

And They Didn't Exercise.
William M. Evarts, who lived until
he was nearly ninety, said he kept his
health by never taking exercise. The
celebrated Dr. William George Mead, I
who lived to the surprising age of US
years, spent nearly nil of his time in
the open air and played a little golf.
Dr. Mead used to drink two or three
quarts of water every day, and per
haps there is a suggestion in that. Oi l i
Dubois, who lived in Canada for the I
better part of 1!'.) years on the north
shore of Lake Erie, never worked and
never took exercise, lie spent seven
ty-five years of his life fishing with
hook and line and ate nothing but
baked apples and milk and brown
bread and unsnlh-d butler.

The one who loves you most, the one
who is the most loving, Is the one who

A Deep oea Mascot.
One of the favorite mascots of deep j
eea fishermen, to which they attach J
great Importance, is a tiny Hat stone,
or bone, found In the ears of plaice and
other fish. The wearer of one of these
stones Is supposed to be immune to the
danger of drowning.
It Is easy to find these stones in the
ears of fish, although they are no big
ger than a split lentil. Anybody who
cares to look for one and to examine
it will see 011 its surface light and
dark rings, similar to those i'ouud on
a larger scale in tree trunks. The
number of rings tells the age of the
fish, as a new ring appears each year, j
