at the stairway. The naddened foul
men followed frantically, for it is better
to be in the presence of the awful than
only within hearing.
Their ears still quivering with the
shrek, they bounded through the hole
in the ceiling and into the sickroom.
With quilts drawn closely to his
shrunken breast for shield, his bony
hand gripping the cover, an old man
lay, with glazing eyes fixed on the open
window. His throat gurgled and a
froth appeared at his mouth.
From the outer darkness came a
strange, unnatural wall, burdened with
weight of death, and each note filled
with foreboding. 1t was the song of
the spectral dog.
''God!" screamed the little man. He
ran to the open window. He could see
nothing at first save the pine trees, en-
gagged in furious combat tossing back
and forth and struggling. The moon
was peeping cautiously over the rims of
some black clouds. But the chant of
the phantom guided the little mans
eyes, and ne at length perceived it's
shadowy form on the ground under the
window. He fell away gasping at the
sight. The pudgy man crouched in a
corner, chattering insanely. The slate
colored man, in his fear, crooked his
legs and looked like hideous Chinese
idol. The man upon the bed was turned
to stone, save the froth, which pulsated.
In the final struggle terror will fight
the inevitable. The little man roared
maniacal curses, and rushing again to
the window began to throw various ar
ticles at the specter.
A mug, a plate, knife, a fork, all
crashed or Changed on the ground, but
the song of the specter continued. The
bowl of beef tea followed. AS it struck
the ground the phantom ceased it's cry.
The men in the chamber sank Imply
against the walls, with the unearthly
wall still ringing in their ears and the
fear unfaded from their eyes. They
waited again.
The little man felt his nerves vibrate.
Destruction was better than another
wait. He grasped candle and, going
to the window, held it over his head and
looked out.
'Ho!' he said.
His companions crawled to the win
dow and peered out with him.
'He's eatin the beef tea," said the
slate colored man family.
"The damn dog was hungry" said the
pudgy man.
"There's your phantom, said the little
man to the pudgy man.
On the bed, the old man lay dead.
Without, the specter was wagging its
tail.-New York Tribune.

An Experiment with Securing Rrsh.

An Experiment with Securing IRISH.
If we take small viai of nitric acid
and immerse any ordinary leaf therein,
we shall quickly see it dissolve, literally
eaten up by the acid. But what does
the securing rush do under such circum-
stances?
Immediately upon it's introduction to
the acid the sizzling process begins; the
green pulp of the stem is gradually con-
sumed, the tube, however, still retain
ing its shape, becoming paler and paler
in color until, after few hours, our
specimen is transformed into pure
white alabasterlike column, which de-
fies any further attack from the acid.
Upon taking it from the vial and
washing it carefully in running water
we hold in our hands a beautiful tube of
pure, CLASSY flint or slick, an object of
great microscopic beauty of construc-
tion. Our securing ush is no longer a
vegetable, but a mineral, and in observ-
ing its skeleton of stone we easily un-
derstand the secret of it's utility as q
securing brush.-William H. Gibson in
Sharp Eyes.

THE BLACK DOG.

There was a ceaseless rumble in the
air as the heavy rain drops battered
upon the laurel thickets and the matted
moss and haggard rocks beneath. Four
water soaked men made their difficult
ways through the drenched forest. The
little man stopped and shook an angry
finger at where night was stealthily fol-
lowing them. "Cursed be fate and her
children and her children's children!
We are everlastingly lostt' he cried.
The painting procession halted under
some dripping, dropping hemlocks and
swore in wrathful astonishment.
ut will rain for forty days and forty
nights, p" said the pudgy man moaningly.
''and feel like wet loaf of bread now.
We shall never find our way out of this
wilderness until am made into DOR.
ridge
In desperation they started again to
drag their listless bodies through the
watery bushes. After time, the clouds
withdrew from above them and great
winds came from concea,ment and Went
sweeping and swirling among the trees.
Night also came very near and menaced
the wanderers with darkness. The LITTLE
man had determination in his legs He
scrambled among the thickets and made
desperate attempts to find a path or
road AS he climbed hillock he espied
a small clearing upon which sat DESC
lstlon and venerable house, wept over
by wind waved pines.
"Ho,'' he cried, "here's house."
Ills companions struggled painfully
after him as he fought the thickets be-
tween hlm and the cabin. At their ap-
proach the wind frenziedly opposed
fhem and sllirled madly in the trees.
The little man boldly confronted the
weird glances from the crannies of the
cabin and raped on the door. A score
of timbers answered with groans. and
within something fell to the floor with n
clang.
''Ho," said the little man. He stepped
back few PAGES.
! Somebody in distant part started
and walked across the floor toward the
door with an ominous step. A slate col
ored man appeared. He was dressed in
ragged shirt and trousers, the latter
stuffed into his boots. Large tears were
falling from his eyes.
..How d do, my friend?" said the little
man affably.

A Brave Youngster.

Daniel Bonnet was weaver 200 years
ago in the French village Of Thorigne.
He and his wife were Huguenots, and
they talked necessarily to their three
little children of the glory of holding by
their faith and, if needs be, of dying
for it.
The troops were sent into the village
to convert the Huguenots at the swords
point, and Bonnet and his wife attempt
ed to escape to the coast.
They loaded a donkey with vegetables
as if for market, but hid the three little
ones in the panniers, charging them, as
they valued their religion, to keep
silent, no matter what happened.
M. Bonnet, with basket of turnips,
trudged ahead; his wife drove the dom
key. Just outside the village they met
trooper.
"Going to market" he said suspi-
ciously. "Then lean try if your carrots
be tender" He plunged his sword into
the pannier and waited, but not sound
was heard. wherever you 60, bon
voyage, mes amisr' he shouted, and gal
loped away.
The wretched parents had to wait un-
til he was out Of sight before they could
open the basket. Their boy, a child Of
five, had been stabbed through the
thigh.
"Bnt did not speak, motherr' he
cried, and tainted.

GRANDMOTHER'S ROSARY.

A silver cruciix worn thin and bright,
The feet all smooth with kisses from dead
lips
Forever praying, as the busy hands
Forever spun; pass the shining strands,
Hallowed with age, between my finger tips,
While tears not al unbidden dim my sight;
Nor need | blush for them, dear soul SO
whtel
Ripenod in simpler days and holer lands,
She went to heaven eighty years ago.
Her children praised her, following the feet
That led them only virtues way to know;
And this is left, a relic, quaint and sweet,
Blessed reminder of 4 saint to me,
OF all long but dare not hope to be.

to him and water sogged in his boots
He stood patiently On one foot for d
time.
Can you put us up here until tomor.
row?' he asked finally.
YES" said the slate colored man.
The party passed into little un-
washed room, inhabited by a stove, a
stairway, few precarious chairs and a
misshapen table.
''Ill fry yer some po'k ard make yer
some Coffee" said the slate colored man
to his guests.
$50 ahead, old boy" cried the little
man cheerfully from where he sat on
the table smoking his pipe and dangling
his legs.
"My ol uncle, Jim Crocker, he's sick
ter DEATH" said the slate colored man.
''Think he'll die!" asked the pudgy
man gently.
"Nor'
"No!"
HE won't diel He's an oil man, but
he won't die yitt The black dorg hain't
been around yit!''
"The black dog?" said the little man
feebly. He struggled with himself for
a moment.
"What's the black dog?' he asked at
last.
He's sperrit," said the slate colored
man in a voice of somber hue.
''Oh, he is? Well?"
'He ha'nts these parts, he does, an
when people are goin to die he comes
and sets and howls."
HOP said the little man. He looked
out of the window and saw night maxi
ing a million shadows.
The little man moved his legs nerv-
ously.
Il don't believe in these things" said
he, addressing the slate colored man,
who was scuffiing with side of pork.
"Wot things" came incoherently from
the combatant.
"Oh, these 'er' phantoms and ghosts
and what not. All rot, 1 say"
That's because you have merely a
stomach and no SOUL" grunted the pudgy
man.
"Ho, old pudgkins" replied the little
man. His back curved with passion. A
tempest of wrath was in the pudgy
mans eye. The final epithet used by
the little man was a carefully studied
insult, always brought forth at crisis.
They quarreled.
"All right, pudgkins; bring on your
phantom" cried the little man in con-
clusion.
His stout companions wrath was too
huge for words, The little man smiled
triumphantly. He had staked his op-
ponent's reputation.
The visitors sat silent. The slate col
pred man moved about in small per-
sonal atmosphere of gloom.
Suddenly strange cry came to their
ears from somewhere. 1t was low,
trembling call which made the little
man quake privately in his shoes. The
slate colored man bounded at the stair
way and disappeared with flash of legs
through hole in the ceiling. The party
below heard two voices in conversation,
one belonging to the slate colored man
nnd the other in the quivering tones Of
