for his tormentof'. Relieved of his
resistance, the boat shot forward, and
the BOYS, at first little frightened at
their antagonists demeanof, how saw
means to accomplish their purpose Ivy
stratagem. MOrg knelt In the stern,
and leased the alligator with stick,
while Bob welded the paddle. Again
and again the huge reptile dashed for
ward in an endeavor to close his jaws
upon something tangible, but each
time the object eluded him.
Finally they reached the shore. Rob
sprung out and secured the painter to
Il tree. He turned Just in time to SEQ
the alligator close his great jaws upon
the stern of the boat, compelling Morg
10 beat Il prccipitate retreat But the
latter soon regainel his feet, and BE-
gan TO rain blows upon the saurian's
hony nose, This treatment, combined
tn the realization of his danger, in
duced him to release his hold, and he
sullenly sank beneath the wa'er.
The rope was now ,lnfastened from
the ring, carried ashore, and tied about
the tree. The boys gave several pulls
upon it, bit finding themselves unable
to move the leviathan at the other end,
gave up the method.
"Morg," said Rob, "you stay and see
that he doesn't get the rope off, and
Ii g home and get father t. let m
have the ox-cart. I'll bring some plank
or something to lean up at the tail of
the cart, and then we can hitch the
oxen to the rope and snake him in as
casv."
This brilliant idea was executed.
Tn cart being backel to within Il
proper distance of the water, and the
wheels securely "chocked' to keep it
from rolling backward, an old door
was laid as an inclined plane from the
rear end to the ground. Then the
rope was removed from the tree, car
ried over the cart, and attached to the
yoke of the steers. At the word they
moved forward, and in spite of his
struggles the alligator was soon
brought t. the short But fearing their
rope was not strong enough to drag
him bodily over the ground, the boys
suspended OPP rations until thicker
one could be had; this was slipped over
the prisoners head and worked down
to position back of his forelegs. Then
the oxen were started again, and
amid shouts of excitement from his
captors and many frantic lashings of
his tail the gator was hauled up the
door and into the cart He was so long
that his tail hung out at least two feet.
The boys drew the ropes tight and fas-
tarel them to the front of the wagon,
and the procession moved toward the
house, not forgt ting the pig.
The same afternoon the alligator
was hauled to town and delivered to
his purchaser, who gravelv measured
him with a yardstick, and finding him
exactly eight feet and one inch long,
paid over the $50 without a murmur.

Life with the general pass niger agent
of a railroad is one continual round Of
pleasure. He is about the only official
connected with the management of a
railroad who can travel around the
country without money and without
price His fat pocketbook contains the
magical open sesame to all lines of
road in the country, and he also pos
sesses the potent pasteboarl which
gives him the privileges of the sleeping
cars and the dining ears. When the
general freight agent travels he has his
annual railroad pass, s, bat he is obliged
to produce to the representatives of the
sleeping car companies and pay the
usual tariff for his meals i'll the dining
cars. A general passenger agent can
start for New York with only his col
lection of ANNALS and the price of two
cocktails and return home with the en-
tire outfit, as some one will certainly
turn up to purchase his cocktails for
him. To paraphrase the old-time
chestnut, the general passenger agent
could go around the world with a
paper collar and a 50 bill and chang
only the collar. Chicago HerdH.
