A Matter of Duty.

The casual observer would have de-
tected nothing strange in the personality
of the youngish party who sat alone in
the front parlor. Yet close scrutiny
would have revealed symptoms of men

Mental strain was something Aloysius
De Gughmp could i'll afford.
Presently beautiful little boy fitted
into the room.
The youDgish party started eagerly
from his seat. There was look of ag-
onizing doubt in his eyes.
"What did she say?" he demanded.
"She said," lisped the child, ito tell
Mr.. De Gugh,np that she'd be right
down"
The youngish party could not repress
an exclamation of joy.
His face shone with satisfaction.
''And is that all she said?' he asked,
striving to BE calm.
The child shook his head.
"What was it, Willie? Tell me her
words. Every syllable is treasure to
me-"
The boy approached and looked trust
ingly into his face.
"She said"-
Aloysius de Gughmp held his breath.
"She'd be polite although it did turn
her stomach"
The youngish party at once resolved to
make his call strictly formal. Detroit

We once had grim battle with a
panther near the southern boundary
of the state. We called him the last
panther in Carolina. For two days
we hunted him with party of forty
seven gentlemen, some fifty drivers
and ninety. or a hundred dogs, and
finally killed him in a swamp on the
Savannah river. 1t was in the year
1s41, and to my knowledge there has
not been one killed in the state since.
My grandson came to me the other
day With wonder in his eyes ard told
me he had seen four deer during the
days hunt, of which two had been
killed. He was slightly more aston

four killed in one drive. From what
l hear / conceive that game, espe-
cially deer, is becoming scarce

under the conditions Of its present
settlement the laws cannot be too
carefully made and observed, OF too
strictly executed if we wish to pre-
serve any game at all for our chill

record of having come alive through
an astounding accident, He was car

went in a boat to point where the
explosive was to be sunk, when by
some accident the electric connection
was made and the torpedo exploded.
The man went skyward and lit in
the water an eighth of mile away,
with one arm shattered, one side
shockingly mangled and an eye
blinded. He managed to keep afoat

sufficiently to return to work, al
