GOOO STOUT YARNs.

Providence Journal: A remarkable
turtle story comes from one OF the sea
board towns of Rhode Island. 1t seemu
that one Of the inhabitants OF that place
recently caught huge mud turtle. The
csptor cut of the head Of his prey and
dragged the CARCASS to his house, about
half mile from the scene Of the fray,
and left II upon stone wall where il
peacefully reposed over night. In the
morning what was the Gentleman's sur.
prise to find that be had two turtles in.
stead Of one, and. still more interesting,
the second, which was a match for the
6rst victim in appearance and size, was
alive. 1t proved to be female, and the
pathos Of the situation appeared when i.
waa made evident that the devoted female
had tracked her dead mate out Of the
marsh and followed him to his resting
place upon the stone wall. This is a
signal proof the intensity of female devo.
tion in the turtle species, and, though it
it is we'll authenticated. scotiers are at.
tempting to throw discrsdit upon the
fact by asking whether she brought along
her dead lords head and bottle Of glue.
