My mistress stood looking at him for
a moment without speaking, but the
expression of her face would have told
any one but that horrid little man with
the whiszers that he had hurt her very
much. At least she gave a funny little
cry, and then began talking to herself
under her breath.

heard her say.
The little man with the whislers
came up close to her, but she was so
unhappy that she did not notice him.
"Ahce!" he said, ''listen to me.
You are wasting your life on man
no longer, and who is deceiving you.
You are not wanted here, your life will
only be one long misery if you persist
in staying and sacrificing yourself.
Why let a foolish sense of duty blind

AS we turned away heard my mas
ter say to A Critic:
You're too wet to kick, you little cur;
pick yourself up and be off, and If ever
I find you round nay premises again I'll
set the dogs on you"
My master soon joined us in the barn,
and there standing beside me in my
stall he told my mistress what a silly
fellow he had been and asked her for
giveness, and then they kissed each
other and said a lot of sweet things to
each other, at which James snorted
and got angry and told him to hold
his tongue, and my mistress forgot that
she had fed me and gave me a lot more
roots, and James got some too, and
then they kissed each other again and
we were all SO happy, only when my
mistress told my master all about the

A Pictured Gem.

One of the strangest lapidarian freaks
that has ever come within the knowl-
edge of diamond experts is now on view
at the Burns Hotel, in Kimberly, South
Africa. The stone, says the jewelers.
Weekly, is in shape and size like q
pigeons egg, of dark brown color ex-
ternally, and at first sight opaque. If
viewed in dark place, with q candle
or other light SO placed that the rays
pass through the stone before falling on
the retina, however, one sees distinctly
the image of man from the waist up
ward. Turning the pebble, he sees at
another point a woman's face, partly
concealed by heavy tresses, and yet,
again, on another portion Of the surface
being applied to the eye, moonlit
cloud sketch Is clearly dllineated.
The stone was found in debris
wash up, and R10 los have been refused
for 1t. A Mr.. Bergsma, a debris
washer, was the finder of the remark

My mistress was evidently afraid,

the coward he was, began to run after

"and now that we have not q critic to

Then he went off down the road, and
laughed to myself because I was in

Sullivan Gets His Nan.

Great Falls Tribune: Sheriff Sullivan oil
Fergus county, arrived in this city yester-
day with a prisoner named Frank Marshall
whoisw wanted in that county for horse steal
ing. The sheriff had quite a chase for his
man. He followed him into Dakota and
there learned hat Marshall was in the
neighborhood OF the Turtle Mountains.
Nothing daunted by the Indian scare ssuili-
van hired a horse and started to scour the
country in that much excited section. He
soon ran his man to cover and lost no time
in getting out of the country. The sheriff
reports the Indians as FESTIVE and threat
ening and says that the people of that sec
ton are seriously alarmed. The only thing
that keeps them from open hostilities, said
Sullivan, is the fear that it would cut off
the supply of the half breeds who are draw
ing full ratiens and sharing it with the rene
gade Sioux, numbering about twenty lodges
in that vicinity. There is n large number
of Crees around Turtle mountain. The
sheriff will leave for home to-day.
