Oosrr k llrork, dinggials Escape of a Brave Young; Hltnger from a Heavily Armed GaarU. On the bank of the deep and swift river stood a fully armed soldier of that terrible power which overshadowed all the known world. To Cyril, that soli tary legionary, stationed there to pre vent such us he from crossing the Kishon, was an embodiment of all the enemies of Israel and Judah. The sol dier stood erect, witji his pilum, or broad-bladed spear, in his right hand. The visor of his bronze helmet was open.' He seemed to have understood the trumpet-note of warning, and was looking in all directions. His sword hung at the left side, ready for use, and on his left arm was a large round shield, now raised a little as he scanned the vineyards and the river-bank, as if he wondered from which of them an enemy could come upon him at that time and place. After a few moments, he turned nway and strode slowly, vigilantly, along the river-bank, while Cyril watched him. "Good!" exclaimed Cyril, at last. "He is fur enough, now. I can reach the river." Out he darted and sprang away to ward the Kishon. Of course he was at once seen by the quick-eyed patrol, and hoarse and loud came the Latin sum mons to halt. To disobey was sure and instant death if Cyril should be over taken, and he would be followed with relentless insistence if he should es cape; but he bounded steadily for ward while the soldier ran toward him. The soldier ran well, too, considering the weight of arms and armor he car ried, for all Roman legionaries were trained athletes; but he could not get between the armorer's son and the Kishon. Not broad, but very deep and swift, was the torrent that come rushing down from its sources among the Gil boa hills. A spring, a splash, and Cyril was swimming vigorously, though swept along down-stream ly the strong current, while his left hand held his rolled-up robe high and dry above the water. Fierce, indeed, were the threatening commands of the legionary, but on the brink of the Kishon he was compelled to halt and consider. No doubt he could swim, but not well with his heavy armor, his shield and his sword. Lightly and rapidly swam Cyril, and in a few moments more he wns out on the northerly banks of the Kishon, sending back a shout of triumph and defiance. But he meant to send back something more. His eyes were swiftly searching the ground around him, while he drew out something which had been hidden among the folds of his robe. , It wns a stj'ufj of leather, its broad as his two hands, with corner-straps as long nn his arm a sling, such as David lined of old. In that older llay, all the trilie of Benjamin, to which the house of Ezra the Hwordmnkcr be longed, were noted stingers; and here was their joung representative, loop ing to pick up KiiifMitli. rouuilfd elj)lcs, as David lind picked up hi" H-tillea from tln brook in the vnltey of Elan In un inntnnt he wns erect sgnin, sling In hnnd, while yetthesoldierstood con sidering the risk of swimming the Kinlion. Whirl went the sling, with such a swirtncHS tlint it cniiM hardly be seen, nnd awnv binned the stone. Nodoubht tlio Unman Imd faced sliiigers, mnny a , lime-, but the distance was more than 50 years, and lis mny not have expected so true sn aim. I'p went his shield, Indeed, a second too Inte, and well for blm that he Imwrd his head, for Cyril's (lrnt M'Milc struck him full upon th crest. It did not knock him ilown.oniy because In the heat of the dny, he hs4 loosened the fniitrnlngs of his helmet, so that the blow of the stone struck It from his head, snd sent It rolling away In Ibe grans.

"I don't know, and, what's more, I don't give a cuss." Then he stopped talking to look at his questioner through the corners of his eyes. After a little urging and much hesitation he told this story: "You asked me once if I'd ever seen any snakes here in the park, and I told you yes. That was early last spring, wasn't it? Yes, I thought so. Well, I've seen some snakes since then. May be you would like to hear about one that I've got to know pretty well ? Yes ? Just as I thought. Let us go down this walk a ways. I want to show you some thing first. Here we are. Do you see this little knob or hummock in .the asphalt? Well, lost spring, the first time I noticed it, it was an inch high. You can See for yourself that it's not more than half an inch high now. What do you suppose wore it down so much?" "The scuffling of shoes on it," the man guessed. ' "Well, I rather think nit. The feet of men don't touch the edge of this walk twice a year. " Do you see that robin's nest there in that oak? Well, the first tim I saw that snake it was just swallowing the last of five eggs that had beeu in that nest. I know that there were five eggs in the snake be cause they showed in five brnches in the snake's middle the cuns had swal lowed them whole. He wua a black one, by the way, and could climb like a gray squirrel. - "But, as I was Baying, that snake had five- unbroken eggs in him, and I wa:i wondering about what he was going to do with them. I found out pretty soon. The snuke climbed down the tree head first and crept toward the walk here, getting along pretty slow, for he was only 14 inches long, and the five eggs made a pretty big load for him, "The snukecame straight toward this hummock here, and I was standing right here by Uiese bushes. . He crawled around the hummock several times, than stuck his head in this little hole here In the asphalt, and then drew him self up Into a hump, with his tail stick Ing In this little crock here only the erack wasn't so large then and then he stood up -just like a letter V upside down. Then he straightened out, and down came one of the eggs on to that hummock there. I heard the shell break. The snake raised up again and nnot her egg wns broken, and so on until there wasn't a whole egg In the snake. Thut's what wore that hummock down, for all summer the snake broke his eggs on It." Is that what made you think and look so seriously?" the man asked, as the policeman stopped talking. "Oh, no. I was Junt wondering If It wouldn't m a good plan for us police men to be made auxiliary observers of natural history here in the park. N. Y. cun.

The Fricso and the Gulf sys tems cross it diagonally. The Cape Girardeau road penetrates it on the east far enough to demonstrate its pos sibilities. The Missouri, Kansas fc Texas cuts through the northwest cor ner. A new Kansas City road, the Pittsburgh & Gulf, is being built south ward through the western edge of it. The Gould system has gridiroued tho Kansas City corner. It taps the eastern edge with branches to Doniphan in Mis souri and to Batesville in Arkansas. . The Frisco sends a t'hort prong into a couple of counties from Cuba to Salem nnd, further clown, i'rom Springfield to Chadwick. The Gul? road has run out a feeder to Current river. The Eureka Springs road enters from the west just, far enough to reveal what a promising land it is. But the heart remains un touched. South of the Frisco and the gulf lies a territory more than twico as large as Mansachusctts without a mile of railroad. North o the gulf, south of the Frisco and west of the Iron Mountain is the Current river country, larger than Connecticut, and an ideal manufacturing region, if evec there was one. North of the Frisco, south of the Missouri Pacific, and cast of the Clinton division of the Gulf sys tem is a third great sectiou of the Ozark country, with the same character istics as to soil and cl'mate ue the other, and the same magnificent wuter pow ers. It has less mineral wealth and less forest than the other two sections, but more rich farming land. Twenty counties in Arkansas and 2 counties in Missouri lie within tho boundaries of this undeveloped region. Eighteen of them have not a mile of railroad. Twelve ot tiers are but littlo better olf, with a single railroad cutting oil a corner or striking tho border or penetrating to the county seat. Yet the SO counties each contain, by the last census, a population ranging from 8,000 to 1S.000. There are living in this ter ritory 800,000 people who are more than ten miles from a railroad station, and 25,000 of them never rode on thecsrs. . St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Tabhj'a I-ove of Home.
