KATE.MEADOW DALE.

A TEXAS HUNTER'SA gentleman who has lately return

ed from a visit to Dallas, Texas,tolls a story which is rather dra-matic. The story was told to himbvan old hunter who had become domesticated and was lounging about oneof the Dallas hotels.

"I could tell .you a good manytieer stories, stranger, said tne

old fellow, in conversation with thearentleman, "but I don't know ofany that 'ud be more likelj- - to strike

on than an experience of Samong's, in Harrison .Con n ty, years

ago. 1 exas was a rougn place men ;ou can bet on that!""And then the old fellow told the

story. jw r4!j aagraphic in print as in ' his tersediom:

Years ago " Harrison - County,- - inTexas, was the haunt or about asdesperate a gang of ruffians as everinfested any district west or tne Mississippi. Their rumber was so greatand their organization so completethat they set the but

law at defiance, carrying on acareer of daring crime with impuni-ty, and making the region an unde-sirable place of abode for all honestcitizens. Ostensibly hunters orhorse-trader- the desperadoes madestock-stealin- g their occupation, neverhesitating to commit a murder whennecessary for their safety or for theexecution of any of their rascallyplans. The controlling spirit in thisdesperate organization was a giantnamed Dick Reddctt, who, from hisexceptional ferocit3'-an- daring, ex-ercised almost despotic control overhis followers. A special pride of thisman was in his extraordinary skill inthe use of the ritle, no one of theband being able to compete with himin what was at that time consideredthe chief accomplishment of a West-ern man.

It was a favorite practice of thehand to congregate at some one of thefew small stores scattered throughthe country and there engage inshooting-matche- s, and it was on oneof these occasions that Sam Long,the hunter already mentioned, hap-pened to be present. Long was aquiet, modest fellow, who lived withhis wife and child in a small cabin intheir neighborhood and who madehunting his constant occupation. Henever appeared at the store save toexchange skins and was favorablyknown for his sobriety and honesty.Upon the occasion just referred to,when Sam Long chanced to comewhile the desperadoes were engagedin one of their shooting-matche-they wished him to take part in thesport. He hesitated at first, butfinally, not wishing to incur the illwill of the ruffians, consented. Hisskill with the rifle was known to besomething remarkable, and the des-peradoes were not greatly surprisedwhen he defeated them all save theCaptain of the band. This man hadnot engaged in the sport, but wherLong had vanquished all others hicame forward with the assurance cfan easy victory. The shots . weKmade, and, to the surprise of al,Long gained the day.

The rage of the leader of the rif-fia-knew no bounds at thus beilg

defeated in the presence of hisand, although refraining frm

any violence on the spot, he intima-ted to the hunter that he would "jetget even with him." Long paid jit-tl- e

attention to the threat, and sconafterward returned to his cabin, f

At just dusk, some days later,Sara was lying on the floor of liscabin playing with his child while liswife was getting supper. The wife,busy with her cooking, asked Longto go to an adjacent spring and bringsome water, a request which hepromptly complied with, leaving hisgnn in the house, a somewhat un-usual course with him. He reachedthe spring and was just stooping tofill the pail which he carried, whenhe was borne down by a sudden "at-tack - from behind, bound seenfely,and dragged some yards in thewoods, When he recognized his as- -

sailants lie knew what to expect Henaa ianen into me nanls of the Reddett gang, and the leader was aboutto "get even with him."

ixing was stripped aua bound toireeipvoraeroiuieiispiain. aply of hickory switches was obtained.and then the Captain took onemem ana oegan the whipping, announcing with an oath that no mancould beat him or his men atingand stay in the country. Thesuffering of the victim was terrible.The flesh was cut from his back instrips by the blows, and when theleader of the ruffians had gratifiedhis rage others of the band con ti n

1 tne punishment. But one manamong the number sh iwed any mercy, and his assertion that Long hadbeen punished enough was receivedwith derision.

Finally the hunter fainted underTtfiVpain, and the ruffians, having

satisfied their grudge, departeL.Ieav- -!ntt f Iia jtlitns.f rf tlin!. a.;,c- - l

I .to the tree.

In this position he was found byhis wite, who had become alarmedfor his safety, and who, searching fori hatl been attracU;d to the spotny a taint moasiug. She assistedhnu to reach the cabin, which he didwith difficulty, and then nursed himfaithfully to recovery. It was weeksbefore he was well enough to moveabont

Scarcely had Long recovered fromhis wounds when his cabin was foundleserted, and members "of the Red

dett band, thinking he had fledfrom the country, boasted openly ofwhat they had done. At the sametime they became bolder thanever in the commission of crime, always hunting or traveling togetherin a company between twenty andiniriy anu nerving attacK from anyquarter.

One day as they were engaged ona hiiHt a member of the band becameseparated from the rest in the excite-ment of the chase. He was foundiying dead, shot in the left eye. Afew days later one of the ruffiansriding alone, was killed. A-ai- thebullctwas found to have entered theleft eye, but no trace of the slayercoold be discovered. A week or twopassed and another of the despera--does was shot, the same terrible ac- -curacy being exhibited in a shot inthe left eye, proving all the shots tobe from the same source.

The robbers became alarmed andkept always together in their raids,but there was no escaping the deathwhich seemed always to lie lurkingnear them. One after another tell,u B til ten men had died, each one

scoured by the terriiiert men in vain.Oir one occasion, when a member ofthe band was killed, the shot hadbeen heard, and once a gaunt fellowwas seen running through the woods,but pursuit failed to overtake him.Accustomed to face danger as thedesperadoes were, and possessed astuey were of brutal courage, theytrembled before this mysterious dan

r . ...... ...ger. it coma not De iacea ana itcould not be averted.

The result was that some of theband deserted and fled the regionThere remained only the captain andfour of the more resolute followers.These five hunted and made theirraids together for some time withoutharm. Among the five was the manwho had endeavored to save Long atthe time'of the whipping from so score a torture. This man, one morn

1 ng, ventured out in the woods without his comrades. He was walkingslowly along, looking for game, whentlie brown barrel of a rifle projectingirom a uumu ucsmc nun cuccKeu niscourse. A tall, lank figure rose fromthe bush, and the startled man rec-ognized Sam Long, the hunter.Long raised the rifle then lowered it

"You're the man who said a goodword for me an you may go, bad asyou are. 1 won t take your miserable life. Go!"

The man needed no second invita- -tion to go. He hurried to the campand told the story. The Captain andthe other three men started out inpursuit of Long, and but two men accompanied Dick Reddett when hereturned ! 1 he third man had fallen.mot mine eye, ami no searcn oi menncierorusn reveaiea me nunter.

. .iue next uay anoiuer man was

killed in camp and again the hunterjscaped. On the next day the tworemaining men tied the conntry, Icav- -ing the fierce Reddett alone. Theleader of the desperadoes dared notremain where he was. lie Knew hewas the. man whom ixng sought

all others.Concealing himself until night, he

mounted his horse and fled for thepoint on the Arkansas River

where it would be possible to take aBteamboat Two days later hereached a small landing in the woodson the bank of the river where thesteamer stopped for passengers whenthere were any to take. He learnedfrom the occupant of the only cabinin the neighborhood that the boatwould be down in the afternoon, andso, having put up the signal to secure

Hedeemed himself safe enough frompursuit and took no precautions.Throwing himself on the ground heslept until late in the day, when hewas awakened by the sound ot theboat in the distance. She wouldround a point in a moment or two,and he waited expectantly. As sud- -denly as though risen from theground a lank figure stood beforehiin, and the muzzle of a rifle peeredin his lace.'-- . The terrified desperadohad no difficulty in recognizing theman as the one he had injured,With the rifle still held steadily nponthe face of the startled Reddett, Longhissed out:

"I've got you! You whipped mewhipped me.like a dog! I swore

I'd kill you before I called myself aman again, and I am going to doit!

I I've cleaned out your hand, and' now- its yonr turn ! Oh. Tve eot von V

The ruffian in abject fear pleadedfor his life, groveling at the feet of

a the hunter. He clung to his wordsas a drowning man clings to straws,The boat was very near. Should sheround the point in time he would be

- 1 saved.Already the smokestack showed

through the brash, when the hunterpressed the trigger, the sharp reportrang out, and Reddett fell dead,shot to the brain through the lefteye. Long slipped awav' in thewoods, and when the boat stonned in

- response to the signal they found adead roan but no one else. HarrisonCounty was rid forever of the worstgang of ruffians in the Southwest.

"An' that, stranger," said the oldman in the Dallas hotel, "is a truestory of the way Sam Long settledaccounts with the blackguards."

Low Life in Egypt.A correspondent of the Philadel

phia- - Press writes from EgyptFrom my window in what I believeto be the most southern hotel in allAfrica above Cape Colony, at Munich, in Upper fcgypt, I looked downinto the interior of the houses ofmany of these agricultural laborers,if houses the simple structures canbe called. They consist of a clay inclosure of irregular shape, six feethigh and ten to twelve feet square.Across one corner of this inclosureis thrown a few bundles of veds orcane which form a shelter from thenoonday rays of the sun. The doorof this inclosure opens into a similar one, but without such shelter, inwhich at sunrise stand a donkey anda buffalo cow anil her calf. Thisyard opens into the street, fromwhich it is separated by a door ofplaited reeds. This structure theEgyptian calls his home. Here helives, here his children are born, herehe expects to die. The whole affaircost probably $3.00 besides his ownlabor. In the neighborhood of thetown he may rent a small plot ofground at the rate of $10 per acre;he also possesses the buffalo cow andher calf, a donkey and a few goats;then perhaps $10 worth of tools, fur-niture ajid clothing, and ornamentsfor his wife and family. This endsthe catalogue of Aehniet's worldlypossessions. Yet Achmet is the mostindeicndent man in the world, andit is just this independence that ruinshim; this absolute freedom that keepshim iu such abject poverty. Hewants help from nobody; he shareshis task with nobody. He is utterlyignorant of that great modern secretof power, the division of labor. Hedocs not support a shoemaker, because he and his family go barefootthe entire year; nor a tailor, becausehis wife, Fatima, takes the cottoncloth from the bazaar, and sewing afew scams makes upon a similar andmost simple plan all the garments ofthe family; nor does he need a woolenmill, for he sits at the door of hishut spinning with a single spindlesometimes all day loug. Nor do hisneeds extend to a wagonmaker; thedonkey transports everything he re-quires his home-mad- snu driedbricks, his ha', himself, Fatiuia andhis children. He wants no miller,for Fatima, turning one flat stouenpon another, grinds the corn andwheat to a coarse powder. Dispens-ing with the oven, Fatima mixes thispowder with water and Iwikes it in arude stone and clay oven, whichAchmet, a self-taug- mason, litisbuilt in one cpniit of --the outeryard. He- - needs no hatter, for heroils his turban of white muslin

is the mast attractive work of art ofwhich Achmet is capable. He scarcely patronizes the comb-make- be-cause his head for cleanliness sake,is shaven as close as the chin of aFrank. He requires no physician,because he has suspended around thenecks of his family, in durableleather bags, scraps of paper bearing magical texts from the Koran,which a scrilie who sits cross-legge-at the corner of a street is ready towrite at a moment's notice, and theseare the cheapest and best preventa-tives and cures for all diseases.Even his dissipations are of his ownpreparation; he grows drowsy on to-bacco raised on his bit of ground,which he smokes as a cirgarctte,rolled by himself. He smokes orchews the hasheesh grown by stealthin his garden, and he intoxicateshimself upon the date spirit which hehas fermented and distilled in hisprimitive alembic. Fatima's entiredomestic establishment has no workfor a cooper, for aH her vessels, ex-cept an iron pan, are of coarse earth
