Dehornlng Cattle.

A Pennsylvania farmer was recent.
ly sued by a humane society for cruel
ty to animals for dehorning his herd.
On the trial the judge held that the
intention OF the defendant was to
benefit his herd, that the charge OF
cruel and wanton treatment could not
be sustained by the evidence produc.
ed, and that in case q verdict of guilty
was rendered he would be Obliged to,
grant new trial. The defendant, in
accordance with this just view
of the subject, was acquitted. HUI.
name societies ought rather to pro.
mote than to try to discourage de.
horning, for when properly performed
it gives only temporary pain and I
guards against much possible injurt Il
and loss ofhuman life. But unquestio1 ls
ably it is better to remove the o.
bryo horns from the calf and to ON
them off as rapidly as possible. Y
hope the time is not far distant when
hornless cattle will be the rule, not
the exception.

Rachel was terribly alarmed. She divin-

it was in VANS nature to be an implacabie

he had said which was Enthusiastically

Moskha was thoughtful He knew that

unknown. And when he had pondered on
her words he said mournfully:-
Eyes, my well-beloved, we must endure
in silence. Persecution and wrong are our
lot. But thou art mine, and shall hold
thee, even at the peril Of my iife."
At these words there came into Rachers
superb face q new expression that had
never been there before. It was an ex-
preston of anxiety, which she in vain
tried to conceal, tor she knew intuitively
that there was danger. Her people lived
on the thin crust OF volcano that might
any moment burst forth and scatter them

IN THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY.


When Ivan Alexicff recovered his equili-
brium, he found himself lace to face with a
young man about his own age, to whom
Rachel was cingng; and while this man
held her with his lett arm about her waist.
he stood on the defensive, with his right
arm slightly extended. the fist clenched
ready to dart forward should circumstances
necessitate it.
The newcomer was Moshka Umanski.
He had missed Rachel, and was in search
OF her when her cry drew him to her. He
was of medium height, powerfully built
but lacked the handsome face of his rival
and yet he was by no means Unlocking.
He was excited now, and there was fierce
anger glow in his eyes while his sternly
compressed lips spoke of determination.
Ivan drew himself up and Tor some mo-
ments glaretl at his rival as if he contem-
plated a conflict. But presently he spoke
His voice was steady, and he seemed to eX-
ercise wonderful self-command when all
the circumstances of his position were con-
sidered.
You are Moshka Umanski?" he said.

No. l deny it."

young lady then am your rival"

will be your bride. And since will not re-
nounce my right to WOO her. will pit my
lie a.ainst yours. We will fight till one
falls dead. If you be not a coward, say
that it shall be So"
Rachel cried out in an agony OF mental
pain; her arms embodied the neck OF her
lover, and she said distressiully unto HIM
No, no, Moshka, you must not. This
shall not be. This man is mad. You shall
dot fight with mailman"
You hear what Rachel says" remarked
Moshka, disdainfully.
II DO. But lover has often had
to fight to retain that which
he has won. Therefore you must
fight me. You shall fight me, or be un-
worthy o: the love you have gained"
You shall not, shall not" screamed
Rachel, clinginG closer to her lover. You

In attempting to jump of and save himself. Charley fell under the horse into the water. and was carried to the bottom and held there. He says it seemed an age before the horse would move. but the horse finally scrambled to his feet, and allowed Charley to rise and spurt the water and mud from his anatomy. Beyond the thorough ducking and the fright accustomed by the thought that his time had come, he was uninjured.
