with the yelps of the dogs, we made for

3He had gathered himself up and made
5oif through the bushes, with the dogs in
4hot pursuit. Back and forth for few
Hmoments the chase led, when, finding
Nthat he was in close quarters, the coon
treed in tall oak. Up again

Fiction may suggest fact and imagina

|war rumors current in Europe just now
|is one entirely unsupported we presume
(which still has practical hint in it
|The story is that Marshal Bazaine, in
Metz. has buried telegraph wire, by
which he communicates with his friends
|outsido the German lines. There is
probably 30 truth in this, as the invest
|ment Of Metz was not contemplated as
among possible, not TO say probable
events. But why could not q secret tele-
graph form part of the defenses Of a for.
Other secrets are kept, and
suol, as this might be. Ingenuity could
devise methods by which the general
public would be dnoaiyed as to the route
land direction Of the wires. Again, wires
might be laid to connect with concealed
and thus destroy beeieging
forces. But Imagination once let loose
leads too far. Electricity may yet ex-
|ceed all other agents in the work of de-
stroying human life, and making the
world miserable.
