Hi* parents migrated to the States in 1867, and settled in Syracuse, N. Y. where they have einee resided. Mr. Johnstone began his first real experience on the dramatic stage, strange to gay, with Mr Frederick Wardeta�� light comedian and juvenile man, in 1885. He later on played in Curtis' ���' Sam'I of Piwen/' then drifted into melodrama, playing the leading parts in ** My Jack" and " The Power of Gold." In 1892 he was starred in a play called " Eagle's Nest," after which he played one of the leading characters in New York in a play of local coloring, entitled ������ The Inspector." Mr. Johnstone wag leading tuan with the la e Marie fresect t ��nd R. D. MacLean for;hree year^, after which he played in a comedy drama called " The Sidewalk** of New York," and in 1897 joined Mr.'Louis James a? hi- leading man, playing 3, ch parts as " Capitis," Mago," " Romeo," "and u Pharnariu*." A >ear later when the combination of Warde-Kidder-James wM*t>ffected, he was engaged as leading juvenile man. Mr. Warde withdrew in 1899 and the combination was James Kidder Han- ford, Mr. Johns*! tne continuing La��t eea����on he was leading man for Madame Mndjet>ka, and made a pronounced'eucceea a* ". Faulcoubridge" in King John. The preset a��l over the country pronounced Mr. Johnstone'* " Faulconbridge" a most finished embodiment off Shakespeare's splendid soldier- " night. Popular belief in India etill credits Sanyasis and other holy vagabonds with miraculous powers. Even the native journals often chronicle marvels like the mstantaneou.. cure of ii curable dilates or the feed- ing of thousands out of a *.mal) measure of rice. One of the. e prints gives a description of how a saintly SanysHi -aved the liven of a certain rajah and his escort from a wild elephant. As the party was proceeding tinot.gh the lower Himalayas a monstrous tusker broke out of the jungle and net to trumpeting. The rajah and his followers were con- siderably scared and were giving themselves, up for lost when a noble looking Sanyasi appeared and, standing in front of the travelers, told them to shout a certain order to the elephant. This done, the animal bolted into thejuimb, while the savior of the- rajah and his party vanished without waiting to h�� thanked. * '*K ��� --si- I* A rourur friend of mine v m�� vm 'm h\_ Bi; -i * -j 8MC�� "*j���� �����n I���.0^41 iHiiinau ������ cntir^ed with the* repair ..f tH.^nipli w}n,rt j��� t[u' rear uf l.opl Robot-IB' army when the UO0lH w���re l>Ar>,aihtrlv .tonve on il.e In,,,,,. commnnicuionH, had oii�� or two dl��ck boyo oit:k, ami (lecide.i i., U(.k a ilatnito ohit-f who wan in <;nar��e of Home IiuimIiwIh of hi* tribesmen repairing the permanent way to _������.. them.

Yet Coyote That Bites had managed io achieve both those delightful ends, and all of the happy savages on the Colorado desert he was the most riotously, tumultously happy- With what keen delight he had drawn his sharp blade across the throats of Jos�� Sanches and hi�� wile after he had stolen into their wagon in the gray dawn, and what thrills of joy shot through his breast when he silenced the yells of their two little children with the butt end of their father's own rifle! And then, when he had taken what gold was in the Mexican's bag, what mescal was in his demijohn, and had strapped Jose1�� rather loose cartridge belt about his sun brown belly, with what fierce pleasure he stole away from the scene of his bloody work and with the Mexican's rifle on his shoulder had wandered far down the dry arroyo, sipping from the demijohn the stupefying juice of the agave from time to time until he felt that he was growing drowsy! Then he had dragged his uncertain wav along until he had come to the railroad track. He Htaied stupidly at the bright steel rails and looked up atthe humming wires in an awed ��ort of way. He would like to lie there behind ihe rock*, he thought, until some Que would come along the track and then try a *hot at him with his newly acquired weapon. The demijohn w��s growing light, and the rifle wan growing heavy. Well, it was gelling toward noon and rather warm even lor an Apache, and he w.ttiid lie down in the shade of the rocks over there and rest. The humming of wires is a soothing sound, and no sooner had his bead touched the earth than sleep look a mighty hold upon him and wiped out hie realising sense of joy, ao Bleep hno a way of doing with everybody that bus anything to be joyful for. And ao he lay, with tbe rifle by km sido and hie unspeakably hideous fee�� turned up toward the blue that, arched t,fa�� desert. It was qui��t there and restful- no tound saw the mutiic ��f th�� wires. Stay: there were other pounds, but they cam�� nome ism�� after Coyote That Bites had thrown himself upon the sand and gone off to th�� land pf Nud. They cam�� faintly at first and mingled with the murmurings of the wires. Surely they were the voices of children. Had the red beast been awake he might ha^re imagined that they were the haunting voices ofthe wee Mexican children whose blood he had so ruthlessly abed that morn* ing, but he heard them not. Tbey were very far from being ghostly voices anyway, those tones that now piped forth so merrily as Dubs and Gay trudged down the line. They were walking to the scoop out along the roadbed, not on the track for that was forbidden. There wati�� was quit�� sure he- was a " worky" Injun, like the Yaqui**, who shoveled and picked on the railroad, and so his mind became, wholly at ease. The Coyote'�� cartridge belt, which had bmn to loosely btrapped, had fallen oft and lay by his side. Ther�� were a hundred very interesting bits of brass sticking in it, and the children soon had these scattered all about in tbe sand b? th�� snoring Coyote. In the scramble for the share ofthe innocent toys Gay let one of them drop on the Coyote's leg. Perhaps the mescal's Influence wag on the wane, for a big brown knee was thrust quickly up from the sand and a btg brown hand clutched the ugly knife at the Coyote's side, but the hand fell and the noble red man snored on. Dubs tried on the cartridge belt and became an Indian, all but the indispensable .knife, and he concluded to borrow that from the sleeper, whose fingers bad lout their grip on the buckhorn handle. ** h'abigger'n mommie's butcher knife, ain't it, Guy?" the young savage asked as he grasped the handle of the devilish looking blade. %' Now, you land ov*r vere, and I'll get 'bind vi* wock. Venyou turn along. I'll jump out and kill you." Gay demurred. " Oh, it's on'y make b'lieve. Vese kind o9 Injuns don't kill nobody."
