FEAR OF THE FOREST Feeling That Comes When One Finds Himself Lost IS HEART DEADENING PANIC Mental Experience leaves a Vivid Im pressionFelt Like Trapped Animal Alone and Lost Ead Taken a False Trail and Overcome by Fear. ; One must 'be Independent to enjoy the vast freedom of the woods, mighty and protecting, yet unfettering, gath ering myriads of living things in safe ty within their shelter. It is a wonder ful experience and familiarity cannot ' lessen the wonder of it to choose tome unfrequented trail that the forest has half reclaimed and follow it for a time, then suddenly to stop and listen. The underbrush, the trees, the broken thread of path, which had seemed only to echo our footsteps and frame a hu man form, now In our silence give forth all the voices of the woods, elu sive, Intermittent, but alive life every where, whispering warning of an inter loper who may have come for evil ifl for good, and one feels without seeing myriad eyes upon him. Have you ever been afraid in the woods? Not that mysterious awe of Hie first twilights that all know who lave camped, when the silence Is ab solute, when shadows have swallowed p the distance nnd the llgl)t has al most faded from the sky. when one feels dimly the vast latent power of mature around him with which some time or other he must struggle and conquer or be crushed. This fear of the forest was different. I was nlone and lost I had taken a false trail at some unblazed turn and of a sudden realized the truth. For a long moment I could think of nothing, see nothing, hear nothing, only be conscious of the fact of my utter helplessness. I felt the heart deadening panic of the trap ped animal, wanting to run against my harriers on evorr sl.le. Only ,rmv mnt I any, and then my reason was alert to solve the problem of return. . But the mental experience left a vivid Impression, and I can understand the despair of the really lost wandering endlessly In aimless circles. Outing Magazine.

Two of the Monsters in a Vicious and Deadly Battle. The big swordftsh had reached the blue waters of the ocean when with out warning a blue backed torpedo like body shot out of the depths, com ing at it like an arrow. The ewordflsh tipped intuitively, and a sword grazed its head as a big. thickset member of Its own family wept through the waters above It The two fish turned and came at each other like mad bulls. Again by some miracle they missed, just grax ing one another, to whirl about and begin the circling play for time and opportunity. Then, like nasties or Jignt, wey turn ed and came on with a strange whis tling sound and a compact that tossed the white churned spume nign in me air came together as only bodies weighing 200 or 300 pounds can when Imoelled by animate vibrant engines of unknown power came together and remained there, w tuning, tossing um In air, rolling over and over. The long slender fish had pierced the other, and the terrific efforts on the part of the fish were to unsheath the sword, which was only accomplished after a strug gle for several minutes. Then both fishes shot away, then again came together, ' giving mighty side blows, and then out of the red stained water one broke and fled. The writer found the largest of these fishes la few dars later on the sand, where It had been washed or thrown by the waves. Four or five deep wounds marked the body. In one rush the sword had entered the eye, coming out at the gills; an other cut a furrow along the top of the head, another still had entered slightly from below, but the real cause for defeat was evident In its swofa, which was splintered and broken against its enemy -Recreation. The Truth Xnyway. A teacher In a tenement district hur ried from the school to find the mother of a pupil who had been taken quite UL "Can you show me where Mrs. An gelo Scandale lives?" she inquired of a cherub transplanted from the sunny south to a dark, sunless alley. "Yes, teach', I show you," and a willing, sticky hand dragged ber on with such speed as to make her stum ble over an Italian dame seated ou the threshold. After the teacher's breathless flight toward the clouds the little hand stop ped tugging. "There where Mees Scandale live," Indicated the horizontal arm and fin ger, "but she downstair sitting on the step," finished the smiling lips. Har per's Magazine. Firstborns Will Agree.
