The boy remained cool. His face
erov white and his eyes brilliant but
his nerves we're steady. As he dashed
down upon the bulro he uttered a yell
that sounded unearthiy loud In that
narrow shed. The beast was fright
ned. and started on a run down the
F4mway.
Amos yelled again and again. max
inR the most hideous sound he was
capable OF. And now did the burro
develop powers OF speed that no one
not even Bolivar could have imagined
be possessed
NJ The faster Solomon ran the louder
and wilder the boy yelled. until the
terrified animal was plunging ahead
like runaway locomotive.
It seemed 70 him only matter OF
seconds until his car should come In
contact with the body OF the burro.
He had no doubt that such collision
meant the most shocking injuries, IN

The race continued thus for several
minutes the car getting closer and

In this praiseworthy purpose he was
materially assisted by the car. just
as he was leaping from the track his
hind legs were struck, and Amos had
just time 10 see him go whirling end
over end through the opening.
The car. for n wonder, kept the
track. and dashed on down the noun
tain. while the boy mopped the cold
Precipitation from his face and gave
long sigh OF relief
Soon the level ground near the sta
ton was reached and here the force
OF the single brake was enough TO
bring the car 10 stop. Then Amos
climbed back up the course TO find the
body OF the unfortunate burro.
He'll have TO be paid for now;

himself together after the car had

with mournful and reproachful look
on his counteuance.
For a moment Amos was stunned M

him down TO Camp Welcome. finding
him extremely meek and submissive.

W~MKEsBARRE, Pa. Oct. 9.-Miss
Lizzie Constable, a highly esteemed
Young woman of Plymouth, gave a birth
day party at her residence on Emo street
last evening. While the festivities were
at their height Miss Constable was seized
with spasms and began to bark like a dog.
The guests did not know what to make
of her actions. Some one in the party
suddenly cried out: "Oh. Lizzie is dog
mad"
AT once there was great cousternatlon
among the guests. They hurriedly left
the house. A physician was quickly
summoned and Miss Constable was put to
bed. She suffered great agony. Another
physician was summoned.
The neighbors had to take their turn
holding the patient in bed. Her eyes
rolled and she snapped at everybody who
came near her. Toward morning she
rested more easily, but today she was very
violent again. The pbysicisns say there
is no doubt that it is hydrophobia, and in
its worst form.
Two years ago Miss Constable was
bitten by a pet dog. She always had a
fear hat she would die from h~ydropho-
bia. Last week she read an account IN a
newspaper about a man in the West dy-
ing from the disease. She was much agl-
tated then, and said: Isn't it awful to
die that way."
1t is said that after reading the paper
Miss Constable became very melancholy.
Her parents tried to cheer her up. and
did everything to get her mind off the
subject. Miss Constable is 81 years old
and is a ~favorite In Plymouth.

change" The discount clerk of the
Chestnut Street National bank Of Phil
adelphia treated a sensation by stating
that Dill had no credit there OF $40, 900
on July nth or anywhere near that
time. The bank examiner then pro-
nounced the entry false.
Pending further examination the de
tense asked for time and the hearing was
continued until mex Friday, Dill being
bound over in $40, 00O. Another warrant
was then served. charging Dill with the
embezzlement of SIC. 900 from the First
