ing down on the 1925. 1t might be
possible that he would refuse to pay
more than dollar, the amount called
for by the shipping tag, and that would
leave only seventy-fve cents clear prof
it on the venture. The last surmise
was improbable, for no man would
stand out on half dollar when a fine
setter dog was in view.
AS the train approached - the
baggageman uncoupled the dog from
the handle of a commercial mans
trunk, and with the steering-rope in
his hand, stood at the door of the car
as it pulled up in front of the depot.
He glanced along the dimly lighted
platform expecting to see Trotter trot
out of the crowd, rush up to the door
and demand his dog, but no Trotter
trotted. "Ho! Trotter!' yelled the
baggageman after waiting reasonable
time. Hello! Trotter! here's your
pup" But Trotter failed TO material
iZe.
whats the matter?" inquired the
station agent, coming hurriedly for
ward, lantern in hand, and flashing the
light in the dogs face, causing him to
yelp in terrified way.
I've got dog here for r. P. Trot-
ter. They said he'd be at the depot to
get it" said the baggageman.
''Trotterp There's no man in this
town by the name of Trotter. I've liv-
ed here all my life, and l know every
man in town."
''Well, here" said the baggageman,
striking happy idea; ''you take the
dog and give me dollar'n half and
collect it of Trotter."
"Whatr' exclaimed the agent, hold
ing up his lantern and inspecting the
dog. loan dollar'n half on that
curp Never!''
Cur! That amt no cur; that's fine
setter.''
'Is itP Well, you couldn't sell it for
two cents in this part of the country"
The baggagman looked sad. Then q
light dawned on him. He raised his
right foot, there was a yelp, and the
cur shot out of the car door like me-
teor, with the rope trailing after him.
"Here! Don't leave that Internal XII
yudle here!' yelled the station agent
as the train moved of. But the bag
gageman heard nothing but the echo of
an agonized canine yelp and the hol-
low, demoniac laugh of brakeman
who was in the plot.-St. Louis Repu6-

the Legitimist neighbOrs of the Emperor
in the vicinity Of Compeigne forest. The
chronicler tells us that Napoleon's fasci-
nation for Mile de Montijo, who after
wards became the Empress Eugene,
dated from the time when that sprightly
beauty gave him sharp hOrse-whipping.
The Empress had invited Mile. de Montijo
and her mother to COmpiegne and show
ed them much attention at hunting par
ties. One evening when the hunt came
home late, Napoleon appeared in Mile de
MontiiOs chamber, and this so enraged
the beauty that she caught up her riding
whip and gave it to him over his head
and ears. This soon brought about an
explanation, and in course of time came
the famous letter in which Napoleon ex-
pressed his desire to have MademOisselle
Eugenie to wife-a letter which the
mother lost no time in making public and
which is now religiously preserved in the
archieves Of the family at Madrid. Ac-
cording to ''Sylvanecte, the future En-
press was much prosecuted by Napoleon
before he made her his proposal of mar
riage, and it is related that on one Occa-
sion he was 80 enraged because she would
not grant him a rendezvous-asked for
while they were out riding that he put
spurs to his horse and galloped away,
leaving her to find her way home through
the forest the best she could. The poor
girl lost her way, and did not reach the
palace until 8 o'clock in the evening when
all the guests and domestics were thor
oughly alarmed for her safety
