1t is believed that all danger Of war is at an
end. On the other hand, the news from Bes.
tarabia is very warlike. In the course Of the
last few days two Russian divisions have
been pushed forward one Of infantry and
the other Cossacks, the latter with their
headquarters at Kuber close on the frontier.
Military action on the part Of Russia is be-
lieved inevitable, and the order to march
into Roumania is expected as soon as the
weather permits. At present any movement
of the army is impossible.

And in his smile conhded

begged Monnier to repeat scene from
one of his plays. Monnier vainly en-

consented to give them something
There was a call for screen, but Mon

he would content himself by initiating
the cry Of several animals. This every
one agreed to, and having gathered them
about him he began.

roaring of the lion: Heuh"
Everybody applauded this roaring as

The same enthusiasm; meanwhile the
believing Of the bull was precisely like
the roaring of the lion; but in salon one
does not look too closely.
Henri AIonnier continued:
"The howl of the wolf: Heuhw
Always the same thing.

her for SIS, which amount was paid
over to the granger just In time for
him to catch the up train for Carthage.

Ben sat down to witness the operation
OF divcsting her of her harness. All

move the crupper from her tail, when
great Cesar-crupper and tail all
came off together. Nothing was lett
upon the poor beast but pitiable
stump which she wiggled most uneasi-

It was a clear case. By some mis-
fortune the mare had been robbed of
her tail and substitute had been con-
structed to attach to the harness, thus
adding to her personal appearance and
assisting her materially in fly time.

that nag, but the harness is never re-
