remarked one of them, breathlessly,
W haven't got a chance of catchin'
the fascals now, so we may as well
stop and rest a bit. P'r'aps I'd better
tie up the dog, so as to make sure of

Accordingly a string was produced,
at the sight of which the greyhound
retreated several PAGES, but, although
showing plainly his dislike to being
held captive, he appeared perfectly
willing and satisfied to follow. So the
guns We're carefully placed upon the
ground, and the keepers, without TAX

down upon a fallen tree to regain
breath and discuss their defeat. "We

down by his side. "You see, they

Selling their guns they sprang to
their feet. But they were too late.
The dog had started at lightning

EThe Doom of the Edelweiss.
Although the word '.edelweiss'' is
not to be found in Webster's I'M

thoughtfulness. This quaint star-like
blossom, covered with soft whitewool
has always been regarded very tender
ly by Swiss maidens as a love token
and no wonder the Government of
some of the cantons has interfered
and set a fine on the plucking of it's
flowers. Fears have been entertained
OF its extinction, so great have been
the ravages made upon it by tourists.
Laws prohibiting it's plucking are

Homeopathic Treatment.
One of the recently announced en-
gagements is said to be the direct out
come of love ON the rebound" The
story goes that three months ago the
fiance in question proposed to, and
was rejected by, one of Boston's fair
est daughters, of whom he had long
been enamored, and who had openly
encouraged him. Disheartened by
the failure of his hopes, he imme-
diately set sail for Europe-that
Mecca of unfortunate suitors. Four
days out, however, he began ito take
notice" and was duly attracted by
the bright eyes and golden hair of
his viv-a-vis at table. Her friendly
overtures fell like balm on her
wounded spirit. Moonlight walks on
deck brought about confidence on his
part, and indignation coupled withpity
which is akin to love-on hers. On
the arrival of the steamer in port the
party with whom Miss Brighteyes was
travelling was increased by the ad-
dition of our friend-disconsolate no
longer-and cablegrams from the
other side have recently announced
the only possible result of the affair.
1t is further rumored that the young
lady who had been the cause of his
sudden departure for foreign shores
repented her decision soon after he
had sailed, and dispatched alittle per-
fumed note to the care of his bankers
in London, giving him to understand
that such was the case. 1t was need
less to state, since we are all human,
that n of the cablegrams was sent
to her address. - Boston SATURDAY.
