RMother, 1 wil save you lif 1 die for it¥" and the re vengeiul boy hurried in pursuit of the cattle king In the meantime the cbject of so mucl bitter feeling made his way along & wagon road that led through a ravine toward his own home a mile distant. The cattle kv gz bed lonz coveted the rich guarter section on wuich the el Rawson had sguatted, and soon after the settler’'s death Gudgeon began plot ting to secure the land. By the aid ol a conscicvccless lawyer the rich mar discovered a flaw in the Rawson papers and in a little while had secured a title to the land. Gudgeon was chuckling to himseil over the situation when Le was brougnt to a sudden halt by a peculiar sound. “It’s the panther,” exclaimed the cat tle king, recoiling as he caught sizht of a pair of glittering eves fixed upon hin from above his position in the narrow ravine. OUn a jutting rock, almost hidden by o dense growth of vines and bushes, not 10 feet from his position, crouched that terror of the west—a mountain panther. One growl from the ferocious beast was enough to halt the land king. He realized that he had gone too far tc retreat. Truly death stared him in the face. The animal was crouched ready for a spring. ‘Gudgeon had no weapon, for which he cursed himself at this moment. For one teirible second Silas Gudgeon watched the tianing eyves and glittering teeth of the forest monster. His face blanched, his knees kuocked together, and he feit that he was dying Only one brief second! Then the panther dashed upon his prey! Even as the avimal gathered itself for a spring the whiplike crack of a rifle rang out. The next instant wman and beast rolled ¢n the ground. The panthor rolled from his intended victim in dying agonies. A builet had pierced its heart. A boy, bearing a smoking rifle in his hand. ran swiftly down the ravine and gave tue panther a second shot, which quieted its struggles. Then the boy turned to Mr. Gudgeon, who still lay upon the ground, insensible and bleeding. Going to a spring near at hand, the lad, using his hat for a basin, brought water and dashed it into the insensible man's face. This had the desired effect, and Mr. Gudgeon, who had fainted from fright, was able to stand on his feet once more. “The panther!” gasped the cattle king gazing shudderingly about him. “There he is,” said the lad, pointing to the dead aniual. “Dead?™ “Dead as he can be, sir,” answered Ca leb Rawson. Noticing the gun in the hand of the boy, Mr. Gndgeon understood how his life had been saved. Putting out his kand he said: “You saved my life, Caleb Rawson. 1 thank you. I'll give £lO for the panther’s hide if you will Lring it to me at the ranch.”. And then the great vattle king strode awav. : Tears of indignation and anger filled und blinded the eyes of the young home: steader. “*As mean as ever!” exclaimed Caleb. “If I'd ouly left my rifle at home, or hadn't fired that instant, our home would have been saved. Skin the panther and sell him the hide! I wish I'd never fol lowed after the old skinflint today.” Then the boy turned on his heel and rushed up the ravine toward home. Two days passed, and Caleb and his mother had completed all preparations for departure. Both knew the futility of fighting the cattle king, so made ready to depart. Ten miles distant was an abandoned claim, which the widow and THE OILNEYVILLE TTIMES. INSOMNIA. —D. G.

The conduct of a deg which is struck with a stick corresponds to that of the savagze who worshiped an anchor which had been cast ashore, and on which ke had hurt himself when he first came in contact with it. Superstitious fear of this sort prevails most among men of the lowest order of intelligence. or in that stage of society in which hu man beings are physically least removed from beasts. In proportion as they rise in the scale of existence and unfeld their mental faculties the more they, free themselves from the tyranny of the su pernatural. The terror of the doz hurt by the stick was out of all proportion to the pain in flicted, and arose solely froin the fact that it was produced by a wmysterious cause. It was fear intensified by the in- tervention of a ghoestly element, and thus working vpon the imagination it assumed the nature of religious awe.—Professor “E. P.

In a littic east side tenement she lives a woman *‘sore afiiicted unto God,” yet who knows not the nature of repining. Ah, no! If you ask any child of the neighborkoed to tell you the happiest sweetest, most tranquil person in it, ] wager they’ll shout with unanimity, “Blind Jennie!” And it is true as true can be.

This mother, with whom che Lves, is a little fiighty at times, and that is one of Jennie's crosses, but it is her unflagging industry, going abont the streets peddling soap, matches and jimcracks, which pays the rent and brings bread to the poor tenement whicl, the two call home. The bad Loys often chase the old woman, taking advantage of her feeble mind, and bharass her greatly.

T | ROOMS FOR THE MILLION. Jow VWorld's Fair Authorities Will Take Care of Visitors. {Special Correspondence.] CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—A Frenchman of listinction in his own country and who ‘epresents in a prominent capacity the nterests of the sister republic during he continuance of the World's fair, nd an American of equal distinction, ¥hose name is a part and parcel of he great project, sat vis-a-vis at a able in the cafe of one of the swellest Michigan avenue's hotels the other wening. A dinner that did full justice © the American's fame as an epicure had seen disposed of, and the two diners out lad gotten down to the pleasures of cafe lir, when the door opened and a mil tary looking man with grizzled features ind that peculiar gray mustache and roatee which distinctively remind one of rontier service entered the apartment. lhe American host and the newcomer ixchanged a military salute. Then the ‘ormer asked: “And how are things going in your lepartment, major? Youa are mighty ucky in having guarfers down town ind not being compelled to travel to the park these blizzardy days.” *“*We are in the swim, general,” was ‘he response of the grizzled veteran as ae inclined his head in recognition of an atroduction to the Frenchman and reached over his hand for the menu. “Over 1,000 letters in the first mail this morning.” “Cne thousand letiers,” ejaculated the Frenchman, only he said it with that peculiar pronunciation that only those (0 the manor born can reproduce in print. **That is what 1 would call one big sorrespondence.”™ *That is a mere nothing, monsiear,” re plied the veteran. **We will be getting them by the wagon load in a month or :0," and the Frenchman shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, elevated his eye brows and generally indicated that, as our Irish friends would say, **He couldn’t make it out, begorra, at all, at all.” A goodly number of people were just as much surprised as was the French man when the World's fair directorate lecided to add a hotel and rooming de partment to the bureau of public com fort. "They were inclined to look upon it as :omething of an aping of that sys tem of paternal government that pre vails in European countries, but which has always been frowned down on this side of the Atlantic as hardly in conso nance with the free air of a republic. But the directorate argued that it was its duty to co-operate, to the best of its ability, with the citizens and household ers of Chicago and vicinity in securing suitable and desirable lodging accom modations at fair and reasonable rates for expected visitors, on the ground that tens of thousands of people would be de terred from visiting the fair unless satis factory assurances could be given them on this point. What better assurance, argued the di rectorate, could possibly be given than the fact that the exposition authorities themselves would undertake to house them? As to the question of eating, they could look after that without assistance. There will be pleii!~ of restaurants and maybe, judging from the looks of things, plenty fo spare. Anyway a man can get along on I'2lf rations if he hasonly a comfortal:le ; lace to sleep. Rest for the body and mi..<! is infinitely more bene ficial than ¢« ¢ the stomach, when only a modic ... . ieep accompanies it. And soth . _..d's fair people went into the ro .ung business. They di vided the city into districts and sections, prepared an official register and invited parties who prommesed to have furnished rooms to let next summer to send in a full description, naming the prices, au thorizing the department to inspect such accommodations, likewise authorizing it to let the same from day to day, week to week or month to month, and to collect the rent in advance. The response was instantaneous. Over 10,000 houscholders, many of them well to do people living on fashion able thoroughfares, and whose pride would not permit of their putting a “To Rent” sign in their window, or even ad vertising vacant accommodations in the newspapers, have already listed with the exposition authorities. These 10,000 can furnish facilities for 40,600 or 50,000 peo ple nightly. Before the Ist of May it is expected the list will have doubled, and it is not outside the province of proba bility that along in midsummer 100,000 people will nightly be thanking the fore thought of the directorate for the com fortable rest they are nightly enjoying. The modus operandi is very simple. A citizen of Ohio, for instance, writes the bureau of public comfort that himself and wife expect to take in the World's fair on the 11th, 12th and 13th of Au zust; that they have never been in the city before; that they are in doubt about being able to secure accomodations with in their means, and that they would like to know all about it, intimating, more over, that a certain figure is as high as they feel they can afford to pay per day. The department replies that it has on its list just such quarters as the corre tpondent desires and at the price he nawmes, and that, if he will forward the amount called for, covering the number of days to be spent in Chicago, they will forward himn a rental certificate, which will secnire to himself and his wife the rooms engaged for the term and date se lected. The citizen sends the money, gets a certificate in return and stows it sway in his pocketbook. His worry and anxiety are things of the past. He comes to Chicago, finds his rooms ready for him, occupies them for the limit and goes away satisfied. There is no negotiating or bickering with the landlord or landlady. The latter gets his or her remuneration from the bureau of public comfort and has the additional satisfaction of knowing that by this system full and ample protection is afforded against the deadbeat frater nity. This may be in theory paternal gov ernment, but it is a kind of paternal gov ernment that, judging by the present de mand on the department from prospec }ive visitors, is certain to prove immens next summer.
