ON THE TRAIL.

But Hs Didn't Know tho Kind of Gamo Ho Was Tracking. In the old days a man known as Judge Douglass lived in Helena, Mopt. The Judge had met with an accident in his youth and had lost both of his legs above the knees. He never would get artificial legs, but had some big leather pads made to fit on the ends of the stumps and walked on them. Locomotion was slow for the judge, but he managed to cover a good of ground and was very fond of walking out on the edge of the town, where be could 'take his exercise without being the subject of remark from strangers in the city. One day an Englishman came to Helena to hunt He had some letters and put up at the Helena club. He stayed around for several days. Finally, after a light fall of snow, he decided to go out Into the mountains and get a sheep or a deer or something. He left early in the morning. When JR came night be had not returned. His hosts around the club waited until 8 o'clock and then decided to go out and look him up, thinking he might have been lost In one of the gulches or canyons In the hills. They formed a rescue party and went out to tha edge of the town. There they met the Englishman, who was wildly excited. “Did you get anything?” they asked him. “No." he replied, “not yet, but I've been tracking an elephant for the last three hours."—Philadelphia Saturday Evening Poet .
