his ideas. 81 have shown you every

ster, larger than either of the others.
Joe stood with his arms akimbo, watch
ing the three last sticks pursuing the
first one swiftly to the clump of bushes,
and he sang gaily the refrain, ''Qui
n'avait ja-ja-jamais navigue," as he
watched, and his brown face was
wreathed with smiles.
Helen disappeared behind Uncle Bells
house, and Blanton endeavOred to rise
to his feet. AS he swung carefully
around he became suddenly aware of a
strange, rushing sound, and looked up.
"Great God," he cried, "they are
working tie slide ~
He made desperate leap, still cling
ing to the bush, but at that instant his
feet slipped, he felt as if some wild
beast had seized upon his left arm, and
was crunching its bones. The stick
that had struck the arm and shattered
it, bounded over the fallen man and
went humming on its way to the preci-
pice.
BlantOn made one more terrible eff
fort to throw himself over the side OF
the wooden trough, but in another in
slant the second, the gnarled and knob
bed stick, struck him, with awful force,
on the shoulders, and the third joining
it, the two were thrown over BlantOn's
form and out at one side. So mighty
was the conclusion that BlantOn was
raised up and turned partially around.
AS he stood in this position for two
seconds before the fourth stick arrived
he saw once more the whole panorama
of ChasetOwn-the sweet village, white
and calm amid the Sheltering hills, and
he fancied that he saw Helen slowly
returning across the snowy lawn.
Then the fourth messenger of death
came, and Blanton was hurled from bis
feet and spun over the side of the slide
as though he had been light as gossa-
mer. He made no movement after he
fell, and the snow was crimsoned with
his blood.

Eg This mad-dog question grows
every day more seliOus. 1t is fast get
ting to be question of self-preseTva-
tion on the part of the human animal,
and last winters Spitz dog legislative
committee hearings dealt with the COM
ing issue, after all. The prevalence of
hydrophobia, shown by each days re-
ports, is sharply illustrated in the fact
that the little village of Otis i'll Berk-
shire county, has experienced five rabid
dogs within as many months. And
what has got to be done about it is as
well shown in the statement that, while
about every other man in that place

under a low, broad settee on which i
was sitting. l had just time to arrange
the drapery when the Washingtons en-

the usual compliments of the season,

heavy sigh, which evidently attracted

~ While several children were feed
ing a pet bear at Austin, Texas, the
other day, the animal playfully seized
a little girl and pulled her toward him,
whereupon house dog, supposing the
child to be in danger, sprang upon the
bear. Bruin, to save the child from the
dog, carried her to the end of the hogs
head in which he slept, and returned
to the fight. A party of darkies then
came up to protect the child from her
other protectors, and her mother, COM
ing out of the house with a musket,
killed both dog and bear. There has
seldom occurred more general mis-
understanding.

to ashes. The racing grounds are turned into waste
lands the buildings useless the thoroughbred stock
