HOW We GROW OLD.
Doteriorations Of tho Seoretions Of


Deteriorations Of the Seoretions Of the
- Body.
Anatomical researches respecting the
influence of age upon the bodily tissues,
have In recent years revealed some very
interesting and important facts. 1t has
been observed that in consequence of
advancing age. after middle life the
capillary vessels of the body gradually
diminish in number, through the with
ering and obliteration of many of these
small vessels, until, in advancing age,
the number of capillaries, and hence
he area, of this portion of the circu.
lation is very greatly diminished An.
other change also begins after middle
life, which is of still greater impor-
lance. Up to about the age of forty
years, the pulmonary artery, the large
vessel which carries the blood from the
heart to the lungs, is larger than the
aorta, the vessel by which the blood il
distributed to the body in general The
consequence of this excess in size OF
the pulmonary artery over the Aorta, ID
high blood pressure in the lungs, and
consequently more complete puriAca-
ton of the blood from it's gaseous i'm.
purities than would otherwise occur
After middle life, the pulmonary artery
decreases in eize, and the aorta in.
.creases. This fact, together with the
increased resistance which the blood
meets In consequence Of the diminished
capacity of the pulmonary vessels, re,
suits in:a gradually increasing accumu
lation OF carbonic acid gas in the blood
which reacts upon every organ and tic
'ue IN the body, lessening its activity
and causing deterioration Of every s.

sign that he was wounded, and sped

pressed on after the deer and caught a
glimpse, Of it as it lodged out Of the
runway and took 3 course which flee
Ing deer only took when they scented
hunters in waiting for them where the
runway crossed the creek. As he was
practically certain of the route which
the buck would take, and where he
would find it if the wound proved fatal,
Turkey decided to first visit his other
traps across the; creek, and then look
after his wounded deer. He was espe.
cially anxious about one particular
trap, which he believed was planted at
the entrance to the den OF the silver
gray. 49, '~'s <-~ -$
There was always likely to be game
Of some kind at the creek, and so the
half-breed, always cautious and silent
OF step, approached the stream with
true Indian stealth.
''As he scanned the banks for some
sign OF life his heart gave a leap Could
it be true that against the background
OF the opposite bank he saw small
silvery object gliding from bush to
bush toward the water? Yes; he could
not doubt his eyes It was the silver
gray. Turkey secured good rest
against the body of tree and waited
for the fox to halt 1t soon did so,

keys trap as fast as its wounds would
let it. .-3 >:.
1.-THE hunter hastily reloaded his rifle
and pressed on. He had only one
charge more of powder in his horn.
WHAT if the lack of more would cost
him his game?
He was swiftly striding down the
runway. thinking of nothing but the
silver-gray. and had almost reached a
huge old tree that overhung the creek
when strange Kissing sound instantly
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1891-10-22

stopped him. He knew what it was
A hasty glance into the limbs of the
tree showed him a panther just ready
to pcunce down upon him as it would
have done upon deer coming to water.
He made a quick aim for the panther's
breast and fred. The brute fell, shot
through the heart. 1t had become Sec
ond nature for Turkey to always re-
load as soon as his gun was discharged,
so he poured his charge of powder into
his rifle, rammed ball down after it
and fixed the printing, ready for an
other shot. +.
The hunters instinct to look for the
mate of any dangerous animal which
he had killed caused him to glance
again into the tree. There was the fe-
male panther, crouching close to a
limb and slowly creeping to point
where she could spring upon him. Life
and death depended upon the accuracy
of his aim!
ITO miss fire or merely wound the
female panther would have been to fall
under the attack of the most ferocious
brute which a hunter can encounter
an attack from which few have es-
capped.
"But his aim was as sure and the
brute, was as dead as its mate when it
struck the ground.
Turkey did not believe that there
were any more of the panther family
about, but he did not think best to lin
ger long to see, now that his ammuni-
ton was exhausted. So he fastened to
the trap, in which he hoped to find the
wounded fox, as it was set directly in
the mouth of the hole which he be-
lieved the silver gray frequented. In
its disabled condition the fox would
hsrdly be able to avoid springing the
trap, which it had hitherto so skillfully
escaped.
ION reaching the trap he found that
it had been sprung, but there was no
fox in it, although a collection of sill
ver-gray hairs were stuck to its steel
jaws. To Turkeys skilled eyes, the
ground about showed signs of moe
casined footsteps. He mistrusted that
Whipped Dog, as the Indian who was
spying upon him TO- the jealous white
trappers was commonly called, had
just robbed his trap of the silver gray.
'"rhis fired every savage and venge-
full instinct in Turkey and he set out in
search OF the supposed culprit.
In less than half an hour he over
took Whipped Dog, who had the fresh
pelt of the silver gray in his hand.
Whipped Dog at first drew his gun
as if to fire, but evidently changed his
mind and concluded to try the strength
of bold denial. w.
Give me that pelt; it's mine,' Tur-
key demanded. -
Its mine. I shot it, growled
Whipped Dog.
/ Turkey was in for no arguing.
| Seizing the Indians gun, he dealt
hlne blow that crushed his skull and
shattered the gun stock.
Taking the silver Rray's pelt he
hastcned to town, presented himself at
my court and told his story in a
straightforward way. .s='..s
Il placed him in charge of the sher-
