COMPAIlV MAKIIIG STREET REPAIRS South Eighth Street Improve ment Is (seeded One. After, experiencing all - kind of trouble and getting the street in miserable condition, the Richmond Street and. Jnterurban Railway company has started to repair South Eighth street along the tracks, from Main to the interurban station. The street adjoining the rails for a distance of a foot or more. Is being replaced with crush ed stone. At the switch on that street, where the - interurban cars branch off for the eaBt and west, the cars have been in the habit of leaving the tracks. Deep ruts, an Inch or! so deep, have, been wom in the street as a consequence. The improvement is probably only temporary as the question of ordering the paving of Eighth street, between North and South A streets, is being seriously considered by council.

Ceprriat. tea. by G- r: Futaam's Besa. - Publishtd under amusement with O. P. Putnam's gone, New Yerk end Xondoa NE afternoon, while most of us were away from the ranch-bouse, one of the cowboys, riding In from hls day's outing over the range.l brought word that be bad seen two wblte-tail deer, a buck and a doe. feeding with some cattle on the side of a hill a cress the river,, and not much more than half a mile from the bouse. There was about an hour of daylight left, and one. of the foremen, a tall, fine-looking fellow named Ferris, the best rider oo tfte ranch, but apt ap un usually good snot, started out at once; aner the deer, rents found the deer easily enough, but tbey started before be could get a standing shot at them, and when be Apd as they ran. be only broke one of the back's bind legs, just above the ankle. . He followed it in the snow for several miles, across the river, and down near the house to the end of the bottom, and then back toward the house. The buck was a con nlng old beast, keeping in the densest cover, and often doubling back on bis trail and sneaking off to one side as bis pursuer, passed by. Finally it grew too dark to see the tracks any longer, and Ferris came bome.Next morning early we went out to where be bad left the trail, feeling very sure from bis description of the place (which was lees tbsn a mile from the houset that we would get the buck; for when be had abandoned the pursuit the deer was in a copse of bushes and young trees some hundreds of yards across, and la this it bad doubtless spent the night. When we got to the thicket we first made a circuit round It to see If the wounded animal bad broken cover, but though there were fresh deer tracks leading both in and out of it. none of them were made by a cripple; so we knew be was stm within. After working some little time we hit on the right trail, finding where the buck bad turned into the thickest growth. While Ferris followed carefully In on tbe tracks, I stationed myself farther on toward the outside, knowing that tbe buck would fn all likelihood start op wind. In' a minute or two Ferris came on the bed where he bad passed tbe night, and which he had evidently Just left; a shout Informed , me that the game was on foot, and Immediately afterward the crackling and snapping of the branches were beard as the deer rushed through them. I ran ae rapidly and quietly ss possible to ward the place where tbe sounds seemed to indicate that be would break cover, stopping under a small tree. X minute afterward be appeared, some thirty yards off on the edge of the thicket, and halted for a second to leek round before going into the open. Only his head and antlers were visible above the bushes which hid from view the rest of bis body. Be turned bis JZaeh fool; on antler, mid the body Uppcd alone very cattly. bead sharply toward me as' I raised the ride, and tbe bullet went fairly Into bis throat, just under the jaw, breaking his neck,, and bringing him town in bis tracks with hardly a kick, Be was a fine buck of eight points, unusually fat. considering that tbe tutting season was just over. We dressed it at once, and, as the house was no near, determined we would drag it there ever the snow ourselves, without going back for a horse. Each took an antler, and tbe body slipped long very easily, but so intense was tbe coW that we had to keep shifting sides ail the tim. the hand which grasped the born becoming numb almost immediately. When not much molested white-tart feed In the evening or late afternoon; but if often snot st and chased they only com out at night, Tbep are very partial to the water, and I tbe tram summer nights will come down into the prairie ponds and stand knecdecp In them, eating the succulent marsh plants.?

course, fae deer merely come'Cown to drink or refresh themselves by bathing, as tbey contain nothing to eat. At times tbe white-tall will lie so close that it may almost be trodden on. One June morning I was riding down along the river, and came to a long bottom, crowded with roae-busbes. all In bloom. It was crossed in every direction by cattle paths, and a drove of long-honied Tcxaua - were scattered over it. A cow-pony geta accustomed to travelling at speed along the cattle trail, aud the one t bestrode threaded its way . ataoug tbe : twiated narrow paths with perfect ease, loping rapidly onward through a sea of low rosebushes, covered with the sweet, pink flowers. Tbey gave a bright color to tbe whole plain, while - tbe air waa filled with the rich, full songs of tbe yellow-breasted meadow larks, ss they perched on the topmost sprays of tbe little trees. Suddenly a w bite-tall doe sprang up almost from under the horse's feet, and scudded off with her white flag flaunting. There was no "reason for harming her, and she made a pretty picture as she bounded lightly off smong the rose-red flowers, passing without beed through tbe ranks of the long-homed and savage-looking steers. , .- Doubtless she bad a little spotted fawn not far away, , These- wee fellows soon after birth grow very cunning and able to take care of themselves, keeping In the densest part, of tbe brush, through which they run and dodge like a rabbit. If taken young they grow very tame and are most dainty pets. One whicb we bad round the house answered well to its name. It was at first fed with milk, which It lapped esgerly from a saucers sharing the meal with tbe two cats, who rather resented its presence end cuffed it heartily when they thought It was greedy and was taking more than Its share- As It grew older It would eat bread or potatoes from our bands, and was perfectly fearless. At night it was let go or put in tbe cow-shed. whichever was handiest, but it waa generally round in time for breakfast next morning. A blue ribbon with a bell attached was bung round Its neck, so as to prevent its being shot; but In tbe end it shared the fate of all pets, for one night It went off and never came back again. Only once bare I ever killed a whitetail buck while bunting on horseback; and at that time E bad been expecting to fall In with black-tall. V - This was while we bad been making a wagon trip to tbe westward follow. lag tbe old Keogh trail, which waa made by the heavy army wagons that Journeyed, to Fort Keogh la the old days when tbe soldiers were, except a few daring trappers, the only white men to be seen en tne last great nnnt-lng-ground of the Indians. It was abandoned as a military rout several years ago, and is now only rarely travelled over, either by the canvastopped ranch-wagon of some wander. Ing cattle-menlike eurselvee or else by a small party or emigrants, in two or three prairie schooners, whicb con tain all their household goods. Herertheiess, it la still as plain and distinct as ever. The two deep parallel ruts. cut into the sod by tbe wheels of the heavy wagon, stretch for scores of miles In a straight line across tbe level prairie, and take great turns and doublings to avoid the impassable por tions of tbe Bad Lands. The track is always perfectly plain, for in the dry climate of the wester plains tbe ac tipn of the weather tesda to preserve rather tbsn to obliterate it; where it leads downhill, the snow water has cut snd widened tbe ruts Into deep gullies, so tbat a wagon has at those places to trarel alongside tbe road. From any little rising in the prairie tbe road can be eeen a long way off, as a dark line, which, when near, resolves itsc!f Into two sharply defined parallel cuts. On tbe trip In question we bad at 'first very bad weather. Leaving tbe ranch in the morning, two of us. who were mounted, pushed on ahead to bunt, the wajon following slowly, with a couple of sp jae saddle ponies leading behind It. Eartj In tbe afternoon, while riding over the crest of a great divide, wbleb separates the drainage basins of two important creeks, we saw that a tremendous storm was brewing with that marvellous rapidity which is so marked a characteristic, of weather changes on the plains. We spnrred bard to get out of the open, riding with loose reins for the creek. The. center of the storm swept by behind us. fairly across our track, and we only got a wipe from tbe tall of It. Yet this itself we could not have faced in the open, Tbe first gust caught us a few hundred yards from the creek,, almost taking n from the saddle, and driving tbe rata and ball in stinging level sheets against us. .Wo galloped to the edge of a deep wash-out. scrambled Into It at the risk of our necks, and huddled cp with ocr horses ander uontb the windward bank. Here we ie mslned pretty well sheltered until the storm was ever. Although It was August, tbe air became Tory cold. The wagon was fairly caught, and would have been blown over If the top bad been on; the driver and horses escaped without lcjcry. pressing under the leeward side, tbe atprm coming so Icre; Out they did not need a roof to protect them froa the UafL Wbore the center of the womwind struck it did great damage. .

a:ong traote tus we vaa Tgkea shelter, and we then went Into camp. It rained all night, and there was a thick mist with continual sharp showers, all the text day and night' ' The wheeling was. in consequence, very heavy, and after striking tbe Keogh trail, we were able to go along ft but a few nillea before the fagged-out look of tbe team and the approach of evening warned us tbat we should hare to go into camp while still a dosen miles from any pool or spring. Accordingly we mads what would fcare been a dry csnp had it not been for the Incessant' down-pour of rain, which we fathered la the canvas wagon-sheet

r - The ortgiu-coloretf patch disappeared. and In our oilskin Overcoats In sufficient quantity to make coffee, having with infinite difficulty started a smouldering fire just to leeward of tbe wagon. Tbe horses, feeding on the soaked grass, did not need water- An antelope, with tbe bold and heedless curiosity sometimes - shown by Its tribe, camo ' up within two hundred yards of us as wo were building tbe fire, but though one of us took a abot st him, it missed. Our shape and oilskins bad kept us perfectly dry. and ss sooa as our frugal supper waa over, we called up among the boxes and bundles inside tbe wagon and slept soundly till daybreak. When tbe eun rose next dsy. the third we were out the sky was clear. and we two horsemen at . once prepared to mske a hunt. Some three miles off to tbe south of where we were samped, the plateau on which we wrre sloped off into a great ex panse of broken ground, with chains upon chains of steep bills, separated by deep valleys, winding and branch ing In every direction, their bottoms filled with trcea snd brushwood. Toward this place we rode. Intending to Bo' Into ' It soma little; distance, and then to bunt along through It sear tbe edge. A eoon as we got down pear tbe brushy ravine we rode along without talking, guiding tbe horses as fsr as possible on earthy places, where they would neither stumble nor strike tbeir feet against stones, snd not letting our rifle barrels or spurs clink against any thing- Keeping outside of tho brush, a little up the side of tbe bill, one of os would ride along eecb side of the ravine, examining Intently with our eyes every clump of trees or brushwood. For soma time we saw nothing, but finally, as we were riding both together round tbe jutting spur of a steep hllL my - companion suddenly brought bis horse to a bait and pointing serosa the shelving bend to a patch of trees well up on tbe opposite aide of a broad ravine, asked me It I did not see a deer In It. I wss off the borse In a second, throwing the reins over bis head. We were In tbe shadow of the cliff-shoulder, and with the wind in our favor; so we were unlikely to be observed by9tbe game- I looked long and eagerly toward the spot Indicated, which was about a hundred and twenty-five yards front ua- hut at first could see nothing. By this time, however, the experienced plainsman who was with me wss satisfied tbat be was right in bis supposition, and be told me to try again and look for a patcb of red. I saw the paten at oaee, juet glimmering through tbe bushes, bat should certainly -.ever have dreamed It was a deer If left to myself, fastening it attentively I soon saw It more enough to satisfy me where tbe bead lay; kneeling on one 'knee and (as U was a little beyond point-blank range) holding at the top of the portion vis ible. I pulled trigger, and the brtghtcelored patch disappeared from among the bashes. The aim waa a good one, for, on riding up to the brink of tke ravine, we saw a lino white-tall buck lying below ns, shot through just behind the shoulder; he was still In the red cost with his antlers In the velvet ARE" STILL" MISSIDG -.
